A Tribute to my Son

 

 

Mary:  A tribute to my Son,

    As I watched Him hold the heavy cross on His shoulder, my heart felt as if it bled within my chest. No words could describe the anguish I felt as He struggled, covered with blood and carried the cross as He walked.

    My children, this is a tribute to my Son, He is your beloved Jesus, come to save this world from its sin, He is in your midst this day. I beg you to open wide your hearts, let the Spirit permeate your being, be not willful but docile to the moving of the Spirit.

    Don't give into pride. You must come with a heart filled with love for Jesus. A heart full of love for Jesus is a gentle, loving heart.

    Sing the song, I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior I am your God, I died for you, I come to you this day.

    To my Son who died to set men free, and made available to them the grace of salvation. To my Son who suffered and died and rose on the third day. He is truly God, death has no power over Him and He comes to you, this day, as present in the Eucharist as the day He died on the cross. Do not refuse His love. Open your hearts let Him outpour His grace to you. Jesus is your Savior.

John 6: 48-51

 I am the bread of life.
 Your fathers ate manna in the desert
 and they are dead;
 but this is the bread
    which comes down from heaven,
 so that a person may eat it and not die.
 I am the living bread
    which has come down from heaven.
 Anyone who eats this bread 
    will live for ever;
 and the bread that I shall give
 is my flesh, for the life of the world.’

Mary:  Oh my children, you are my blind ones, willful in so many ways, I love you each so much. Come to the Eucharistic Heart of My beloved Son. He is gentle and kind in heart and He waits for you to come and share your love with Him.

    My Son is your beloved! Pray for grace, pray to the Spirit, come to the Eucharist, He waits you there.  

   

 

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus 

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
2. For the Pope.
3. For all bishops of the world.
4. For all priests.
5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
8. For all members of the human family.
9. For all souls in purgatory.

January 15, 1995 - 7:00 a.m. in front of Mary and Sacred Heart

Meditating on Sorrowful Mysteries. Jesus aglow -- picture flash off and on in the dark.

Messenger:  I saw a picture of Jesus, a man, dying on the cross. Jesus is God. I saw Mary and Jesus on Calvary. I saw Them suffer. I saw Him as if suffering through Her eyes. See all those who neglect Him and treat Him indifferently -- it tears at my heart. To know how He loves us and longs for our love and Mary saw Him suffer so much.

Jesus:  Pick up your cross and follow Me for My way is sweet and My burden light. I am He who comes into the world.

    I am the Divine God. See Me as God-Made-Man.

Messenger:  Jesus is our Mediator with the Father.
 

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J.  pp. 1-2

God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

    The Christian life, then, is rooted in the great event of the Incarnation. We must, consequently, always focus our gaze upon Christ, realizing that everything the Father wishes to tell us has been summed up in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

 

January 22, 1995

Jesus:  You are in it with them, they are in it with you. You are all part of My plan, you must unite in love, each person here has a big job. You do not know of the sufferings to befall you. You must constantly dwell in My heart.

    Satan will try to divide you. You are My beloved soldiers of love, marching on this world.

    This is holy ground, the center is your refuge against the terrors of the night. All will be led to such comfort there.

    Things are not as you think. They are not as you like, they are as they are. I am operating in all there. Tell them to pray the prayer for union with Jesus.

    Everyone there needs these letters of My love. Please, I beg you circulate these letters. Men cannot do this work on their own. Only through My power will this work reach the corners of this earth. These letters will enkindle in hearts a burning love for Me. I BEG YOU TO CIRCULATE THESE letters, to hold them up is to keep men from knowing about the real power of My love and of the Eucharist.

    LISTEN as you live and breathe, you need to turn to Me in the Eucharist. You cannot do this job without My power. My power is in the tabernacle.

    I beg you to LISTEN -- you will suffer, I want you to do this work, you cannot do it without My power.

    This is the city of love. Do not let satan talk in your heads, you must unite. The Shepherds of Christ must unite with the center, with the farm, with the Holy Spirit Apostles. You are one, the healing team, the farm, Shepherds of Christ, Holy Spirit Apostles, Men of the Sacred Heart, etc. Spread these letters of My love. The Third Blue Book talks about loving one another. You must be united in LOVE. Satan's weapon is division. I beg you, I beg you to listen and circulate My letters.  

    

Surrender

March 10, 1994

Jesus: This is surrender. I want your all. I do not want you attached to any person or any thing. I want you completely dependent on Me. Do I teach you such lessons on how attached you are to others and things? I have all the answers. If I do not tell you, you do not need to know. You want your will. My will I make known to you in front of the tabernacle. I have spoken here.

Surrender is doing the will of God and it is not your deciding and doing your will. I want your all. I want you to do those things the way I tell you. It is not the way you want to do them. Sweet surrender, only to find I want more. Look at My position on the cross. Did I ask you to die for Me? I ask you to do My Will. I ask you to surrender. I ask for time in front of the tabernacle. I ask for love. Watch this world go up in your face. Then where are your possessions, the things you held on to? You only have limited vision. I know all things.

I am so tired. You do not give but bits and pieces. You hold on to what you want and give Me some. I want your all. I want total surrender. I showed you how to surrender when I died on the cross. I am not asking for this. I am asking for you to do My will. You are so attached to pleasing people that you do not see the whole picture. I make My ways clear here. You do not listen. You do what you think is a good thing and you do not even come to Me. I want your all. I want surrender.

R. Love includes giving up what you don't want to give up. Love is saying, "Yes, Lord", even when you would rather do it your way. It is in your surrender and love of God that you teach mighty lessons to those around you. You teach by your being in love with Jesus. I love you, Jesus. I give of My bounty, not little bits and pieces I stingily let go of. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All, how can I love You as I ought? Do I give My all, or do I say, "Oh, Lord, you can't mean that you want this," and hold on to what I want.

Do I hold on to people and don't even know it, or do I put You first, Lord, above all persons, places and things? I see how really attached I am to everything, things I do not even know I am attached to. It is easy to give lip service to surrender and tell God to possess our soul and make me selfless, but do I really mean it? This is what keeps us from increased union with Him! It is in total surrender, of living for love of Him and Him alone, that we are free. And what freedom! The bittersweetness to let go, to find freedom from all we hold on to! The things we hold on to most are what keeps us from our increased union with Him.

"Oh, not that, Lord! Oh, do I look at your crucifix and see You letting go?" You held not one thing back. Your arms open wide, nailed to the cross! Total surrender!

What does He ask of me today that I want to hold on to? Holding on to things stops my freedom. To be totally free, I must let go. I cannot hold on and let go at the same time. Freedom is obtained in letting go. See yourself with your arms tight, holding on to all you possess.

Jesus: I call you to surrender. Open your arms as I did when I died on the cross. Let all your sacred worldly possessions drop around you and you will experience the joy of being free, united only to Me, of letting go and knowing that I, God, tend to your every need. To My death on the cross I loved you and I love you this way this very day. Let go and give it all to Me. I will care for you far better than you could for yourself. I am God and I love you more than you can love yourself.

Jesus is dead, hanging on the cross, arms outstretched. His feet are not even on the ground. He is hanging by nails on a piece of wood. What do we hold on to? He wants us in midair in total surrender. Oh, little ones, how you squander your possessions. How you hold on to people. How you won't let go. See Me in total surrender.

I gave My very life for you. What do you hold on to, My little ones? Little bits and pieces you give to Me and you hold tight to your lives. They will be up in smoke and all that will remain will be the things of God. Not one pair of shoes do you take with you, only your love, given to God and others.

 

Messenger:  The mind of man can not ever see with the vision of God, unless He gives them His vision.

    I am so limited in everything I do, He is almighty, I love a little, He gives us His all, I must constantly study His ways to be more and more like Him.

    Spirit transform my heart, more and more into the image of Jesus.

    Spirit move in me to lead me closer and closer into the image of Jesus.

    The more we call on the Spirit, the more we are transformed. The Spirit descended on the apostles. The Spirit leads us to action.

    Impart to us the vision of God. Dear Holy Spirit transform us from blindness into Vision.

    Where we are blind, we can now see more and more as the Spirit imparts to us His Vision.

    We are raised to see more through His grace --

    Come Holy Spirit fill us with the fire of Your love, give us Your Vision, Godly Vision, to be raised from a  human sight to more of Your vision -- Oh Divine Lover, we are all blind, we do not see that Jesus is truly the Son of God.

    We do not realize the great gifts we are given in baptism -- set us ablaze with the FIRE of Your Divine Love. Let us be burning with Your love in us.

     

January 22, 1995

Jesus:  My dear child,

    You must realize I am with you when you struggle. Let go into My arms and be alone with Me.

   

January 29, 1995

Messenger:  I have been attending Mass and at the consecration, it is as if the world stands still and I see heaven and earth meet. I am there, I hear faintly talking, but it is as if I am joined with heaven, purgatory and the earth I am so aware of the Father's presence and the Spirit and the angels and saints. I see us all as one body in the Church united so closely with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    See your Savior and your Lord. Look beyond the visible consecrated host and see the Divine Lord. It is the invisible world that surrounds us -- this is reality. Look beyond the person, see the God that lives within. What we see with our human eyes are human things, what we see with our spiritual eyes are the gifts from God. Impart to me Your Vision, more and more Lord, so I can see with your eyes, more and more that which is Divine, oh who am I that You love me so much. I long and thirst for You my God.

This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who loves us so dearly that He humbled Himself to share in our humanity.

5.   Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them.  Luke 24:50

      Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you.   John 14:27

Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven.  Luke 24: 51

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1.  R.  They were locked in the upper room and a gigantic-like wind appeared and over their heads appeared parted tongues of fire.

2.  R.  And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues as the Spirit prompted them to speak.

3.  R.  And they were transformed from fear to fearlessness and went out to preach the Gospel to all. All understood!

4.  R.  Holy Spirit, how weak we sometimes feel in this society. We love God so strongly. But it is hard sometimes to stand up and to preach the Gospel and to spread the Truth. Fill us with such fire of the love of God that it is no longer we who operate but He who operates through us to spread the message of the Gospel to this world; to spread the burning love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the on-fire Divine Love of God to our brother in this world.

5. 

The Holy Spirit

Jesus speaks: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.  Excerpt from Tell My People

6.  R.  Holy Spirit operate in us -- give us wisdom.

7.  R.  Holy Spirit give us Your gifts, Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.

8.  Song:  Come Holy Ghost

9.  R.  Holy Spirit, enkindle in us deep intimacy with You so that it is the Spirit that will lead us ever closer and closer to union with the one Triune God; so that the Spirit moving within our being will be that which spreads the love of God to this hurting world through our actions, with Your grace. Help us to be empty vessels in which God can operate in us. We love You so. We ask You to work in us.

10. 

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

John 1: 14

The Word became flesh,

the glory that he has from the Father
   as only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.

1 Corinthians 25: 51-53

Now I am going to tell you a mystery: we are not all going to fall asleep, but we are all going to be changed, instantly, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet is going to sound, and then the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed, because this perishable nature of ours must put on imperishability, this mortal nature must put on immortality.

5.  R.  We see with such limited vision. We see with earthly eyes. Holy Spirit, open our eyes to see Your vision. Open our eyes so that we do not see just in front of our face, but we see the reality of Your world, the world of God that controls our every breath, controls our every heartbeat. That You, God, have all the power! And that out of greatest love the Father created us to be part of His plan.

6.  R.  Jesus gave to us His Beloved Mother to mother us and to remain with us. She has not left. She is with us this very day constantly by our side as she walked by Jesus' side on Calvary, mothering us and guarding us. Dear Mother, through your Immaculate Heart, lead us ever closer to the Heart of Your Beloved Son.

God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).    

8.  R.  Mary, how well your heart knows the Heart of Jesus. You, who carried Him in your womb. You, who raised Him as a child and was with Him all through His life. Through your Most Immaculate Heart, lead us ever closer to the Heart of Your Beloved Son, to know Him more dearly, to love Him more and more.

9.  Song:  Immaculate Mary

10.  R.  Mary, help us to love your Son more. Jesus, help us to love Your Mother more and help us to grow ever more in the love of God through the love of Your two Hearts, that overflowing love in these two Hearts! Help us to grow more and more in union with the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. 

Mary:  Come my dear children. Come to my Immaculate Heart. Let me lead you ever closer to the burning love of My Son, Jesus. He loves you with the dearest Heart. He waits for you to come and to share His love. He remains with you this day in the Eucharist. Come to Him. Spend a Holy Hour with My Son. Be with Him. Tell Him of your love. It is through time spent with Him that you will grow in your love with Him. If you want to love my Son, you must surrender yourself and let yourself be in His loving arms. Come to Our Hearts. Rest in Our Hearts. Come to the Eucharist. Let Him outpour His life to you as He gives you Himself.

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit

   

  

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

1. 

Revelation 12: 1-2

"Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth."

2.  Song:  Eye Has Not Seen

3. Mary:  My children! My children! You do not see because you do not pray. Come to My Son. Pray to the Spirit to open your eyes and see the invisible world, which is real. You must know the Father's plan. You look only at the things that you see many times. See the consecrated Host and see Jesus truly present. Look at the love Jesus has for you. That Jesus gave His body and blood and remains with you this day in the Eucharist. See Jesus in your brothers.

4.  Sing:  Immaculate Mary

5.  Mary:  Spend your time uniting ever closer to the Heart of Jesus. Spend your time being close to the Spirit and Jesus will lead you ever closer to the Father. It is in your union with God on earth that you will have greater union with God in Heaven. Take me seriously, my children. What matters is union with God!

6.  Song:  May the angels lead you into Paradise. May the martyrs greet you on your way. May you see the face of the Lord this day. Alleluia. Alleluia.

7.  Mary:  If you go to heaven you will be united to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in such union, what awaits you in heaven is the beatific vision. You cannot see with your limited vision. If you love and serve the Lord and keep His commandments you can go to heaven.

8.  Sing:  Hail Holy Queen

9.  Mary:  Time is so short. The time you spend spreading the love of my Son Jesus is so important to the souls that are hurting. I call out to you this day to come to My Immaculate Heart and to spread more and more the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to this world. Make this your goal -- to be His soldiers in this world that is thirsting for His love. Fill the world with His burning love.

10.  Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

Song after last decade:  Come Holy Spirit

 

Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mother

1. The Prophecy of Simeon.  Simeon was led by the Spirit to the Temple. He told Mary and Joseph of the sufferings that would befall Jesus and Mary. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary. From that point, whenever Mary beheld the child Jesus, she saw before her the prophecy of Simeon.

2.  The Flight into Egypt.

 

Matthew 2: 13-15

After they had left, suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.’ So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: 

    I called my son out of Egypt. 

3.  The Finding in the Temple.   Joseph and Mary had taken Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem when He was twelve years old. When they had left, they realized that Jesus was left behind. With such sorrow in their hearts, they returned to Jerusalem to find the child Jesus. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

4.  Jesus and Mary Meet on the Way to the Cross.   Jesus and Mary peered into each other's eyes on Calvary. There was joy in the meeting of the eyes. But such immense suffering: Mary to see her Beloved Son with a cross on His back, His body covered with blood and so weakened from all the wounds; and Jesus to look into the eyes of His Beloved Mother and to see all the suffering that she was undergoing. This is the love of the Two Hearts! It is in this peering look between this Son and His Mother that we can realize more and more the immensity of the love of Jesus and Mary.

Song:  See the Eyes that Look at Mary

5.  Jesus Dies on the Cross.   Mary stood beneath the cross next to John. As she stood beneath this cross, she saw her Son. He gave the last beat of His Heart, the last drop of His blood. His body hung to His last breath. He gave His all for love of us. And He calls out to us today to realize that He is still with us in the Eucharist. This same Jesus who hung on the cross is no less present in the consecrated Host than He was the day He hung on the cross. Stand under the cross with Mary. Meditate on this sorrow through her eyes! For it is through her Heart, that she knew so much the love of the Heart of Jesus, that we will more closely unite with this Divine Love. The love that the Father had that He gave His only Son for love of us. The love that Jesus has that He gave His all, His Life, and that He rose on the third day to bring us to new life, and the sufferings that Mary endured. Sufferings that could not be seen on her body, but immense sorrow to Her Most Sorrowful Heart! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary.

6.  Mary Receives the Lifeless Body of Jesus under the Cross.   As she once held His little baby body in her arms, she now is given the lifeless body of her Son, covered with blood! The look of such horror and pain on her face! Her Heart torn in her chest. We cannot realize even a small amount the suffering that her Heart endured as they gave her the lifeless body of her Son. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

7.  Jesus was Locked in the Tomb.   That cold realization that Jesus had died! And now He was locked in the tomb and Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping so bitterly. Her Heart that loved Jesus so dearly, and now to endure this! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

Song:  Little Baby Hands and Feet

 

This rosary was prayed in the Holy Spirit Chapel before the Tabernacle. Jesus and Mary appeared and Mary was in tremendous light. Rita, Cathy, Joe, Marty and others were present.
 

Psalm 118: 2-4, 13-15, 22-24

Let the House of Israel say, 
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’ 
Let the House of Aaron say, 
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’ 
Let those who fear Yahweh say, 
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’

I was pushed hard, to make me fall, 
but Yahweh came to my help. 
Yahweh is my strength and my song, 
he has been my Saviour. 

Shouts of joy and salvation, 
in the tents of the upright, 
‘Yahweh’s right hand is triumphant,

The stone which the builders rejected 
has become the cornerstone; 
This is Yahweh’s doing, 
and we marvel at it. 
This is the day which Yahweh has made, 
a day for us to rejoice and be glad.
