Revelations on the Light
Isaiah 30: 19-26:
Yes, people of Zion
living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean the silverplating of your idols
and goldplating of your images.
You will throw them away like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great
slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows they have received."
Isaiah 40:1-8:
'Console my people,
console them,'
says your God.
'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh, she has received
double punishment for all her sins.'
A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be levelled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'
A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said, 'What shall I cry?'
-'All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever.'
Song: A Voice Cries
Out in the Wilderness
Adam and Eve are given great gifts and
insights into God. They sin, the light of knowing God is dimmed
because of their sin. They do not know God as they did before the
sin.
Christ comes, He is the Light of the
World. He dies, He gives Himself. He shares His life with us through
sanctifying grace.
Through Baptism we receive this sharing
in His divine life. The more He shares His life, the more we are
saturated with His life, the more we know Him. He reveals Himself to
us--we see the light.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is all
here: the Mass, the Eucharist, God giving Himself.
To partake more in His life we must give
ourselves to Him.
Mary appears to Bernadette. She tells
her she is the "Immaculate Conception." We are sinners, but through
Mary, the pure and sinless one, we can unite deeply in Him.
We are in darkness in varying degrees.
The more we are saturated with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. Since He
came to the earth, everything is in place to see the light.
God is giving to us great graces to see
the light now. He is lifting the veil.
There will be the era of peace.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
We see the darkness. As at night, we do
not see the colorful leaves, they are there, we do not see them.
In the morning light, we see the glory
of the beautiful day, the colorful leaves.
As the light steals across the sky, we
see more and more. As the sun gradually comes up, we see more
clearly the beauty of the leaves.
At first, our vision is not so clear
because the light does not show in its deepest intensity. As the sun
comes up we see more and more vividly until finally we see clearly
the beauty of the colorful leaves.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
In a message to Fr. Carter on July 31,
1994, Jesus has promised us: "I will give great graces to the
members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be
deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's heart as I lead them ever
closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
As stated above, the more we are
saturated with his life, the more we are one in Him, the more
clearly we see. It is in this union, in the depth of His Heart, that
we receive such life, that we know Him with great clarity, that we
are given this vision of God.
It is not with "eyes" that we see, but
the illumination is in the knowing power that He gives to us. He
reveals insights into the divine mysteries. We share most intimately
with Him when we are one with Him in the Mass and after Communion.
These are treasured moments in which He gives us a special sharing
to know Him, our Divine Lover.
We see clearly when our hearts are
hearts of love. We see vividly when our hearts are filled with love
and peace. We were created to love, to love God and love each other.
Adam and Eve sinned. They lost the great
gift given to them. The light of knowing God was dimmed because of
their sin.
Christ comes into the world. He is the
Word. He is the light of the world. He comes to save man from his
sin. He comes in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is the pure and
sinless one. Jesus comes to pay the price for the sin of Adam and
for our sins. We are all tainted by this sin of our first father and
mother. Mary is the Immaculate and pure one, the highest human
person. Divinity unites with humanity in the womb of Mary. They are
one. Jesus is carried within the body of His mother. Such unity from
the beginning, for His life is formed within her body. Is it
surprising to us, then, if Christ comes within the womb of the
Virgin Mary, that we too must go through Mary to unite to Him? Where
is the pride in the hearts of men that think they do not have to go
through their Mother Mary? If Christ comes in the womb of Mary to
pay the price for man's sins, and we are tainted by the sin, in
order to unite to the Almighty God who is all holy, we must go
through the pure and sinless one.
Adam and Eve sinned. The Father sends
His Son into the world to pay the price for man's sins. Jesus is the
New Adam; Mary is the New Eve. Man continues to sin, greatly
displeasing God. The Father allows Mary to appear to Bernadette at
Lourdes as the Immaculate Conception, as having been conceived
without original sin. The Father then allows Mary to appear to the
children of Fatima as the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We are sinners, we cannot unite closely
to Him unless we go through Mary.
Mary is the pure and sinless one. We can
unite deeply to Him. We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more
we are saturated with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. He came to
the earth, He died, He rose on the third day. He gave to the
Apostles the power to change bread and wine into His Body and Blood.
He gave to them the power to forgive sins. He established His Church
pouring forth from His pierced side. We do not see the great gifts
that He has given to us. He is giving to us great insights into
these gifts. God is giving to us great graces to see the light now.
He is lifting the veil.
There will be an era of peace and all
will see with such light as Isaiah speaks of in chapter 30, verse
26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as
sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Man sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Man
is still so sinful. Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are
offending God, that we must make reparation to her heart and the
heart of her Son.
She gives us the peace plan for the
world. She tells us that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and
her Immaculate Heart will triumph but we must do what she says. The
Church has approved Fatima. The devil has blocked the message. How
can we disobey our Mother? How can we ignore her? Mary appeared at
Fatima and was ignored. Mary appeared to me almost daily for 14
months--she does not appear as she once did. Jesus has told me that
He will handle these messages, that He is in charge, that the plan
of the Father will unfold despite any person's willfulness.
In August 1996, Mary spoke in the
rosary: she said she could not hold back the hand of her Son any
longer. On the 5th of this month, instead of Mary appearing as she
had in the past, Jesus appeared alive on the crucifix with His mouth
moving for twenty minutes. We are not listening to Mary or to Jesus.
Man has sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Mary tells us what we must
do. Men are disobedient. They disobeyed their Mother. They do not do
what she told them what they must do at Fatima. When hearts are
consecrated to Jesus and Mary they become holy hearts, deeply one
with God. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand for He has given
to us abundant grace that we are seeing with such clarity this
vision of God. He has imparted to us understanding into His divine
mysteries.
The more we focus on what Jesus and Mary
have told us, the more we will have peace. He is angered by the
willfulness of man. He will get their attention. We are spreading
the good news when we spread the consecration.
We must heed the words of our Mother.
She will not go away because of willful men. We have angered God
more by ignoring her. There is only one way: it is the plan that
Mary has given to us at Fatima. He is lifting the veil for those
whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Many in the Shepherds of Christ Movement
are fervently loving Him. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, as
the apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family, and
the school, the fire of His love will cover the earth and it will be
lighted with this love coming from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The
Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
will triumph.
We, in the Shepherds of Christ Movement,
are spreading the fire of His love across the earth through the
consecration.
The hearts of men will turn from their
sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb. There will
be one flock and one Shepherd and His staff will rule over all.
Hearts consecrated to Their Hearts will lead the light across the
earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter
and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's
love. The Spirit will move in all hearts consecrated to His Heart,
and we will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a
fire, it is vibrant, it is encompassing, it is smoldering, burning
deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fires on this
earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from His Heart
and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
On October 13, 1917 Our Lady gave to
Lucia and 70,000 spellbound people, a great vision: the sun spun in
the sky, casting off great lights. This happened three times in
about 12 minutes. As quoted from Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan
from Heaven:
It seemed that the
whole world was on fire with the sun spinning at a greater speed
each time. Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd for the sun
seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon
the horrified multitudes...just when it seemed that the ball of fire
would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun
resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as
ever.
Mary gave this tremendous sign at Fatima
and people did not listen. The events that followed were as she had
predicted since we disobeyed her. There was a brutal war, WWII. Mary
appeared to me (Rita Ring) almost daily - very few have listened.
She told me over and over again of the souls going to hell. She told
me in August she could not hold back the hand of her Son anymore.
Adam and Eve sinned. God, the Father, sent His Son. Man continues to
sin--the Father sends Mary but she is ignored!
On July 2, 1996, my son, Joseph, was
taking pictures of all of the Shepherds of Christ members at Tom
Arlinghaus' farm. He took one picture of each person. Jesus told me
to tell him to take two pictures of Fr. Carter. The first picture
was a normal picture. The second picture was of Fr. Carter covered
with a pillar of light.
In front of a statue of Our Sorrowful
Mother, Mary was alive in the statue.
Jesus: "Peace will
abound when nations, churches, families, and individuals are
consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of
Mary. The Shepherds of Christ Movement...is a pillar of light in the
darkness."
R. We must encourage
all to consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and
the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to join the Shepherds of Christ
chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
Movement, to pray for our Church and our world.
Jesus: This is My
Movement for renewal of the Church and the world, based in
consecration, joining your every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to Our Hearts,
especially on first Fridays and first Saturday. It is through your
prayers and sacrifices many souls will be saved. Grace will flow
from those whose hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire
of My love will light up this darkened world.
R. Many are living in
darkness because they are not obeying Our Lady. The people will see
the light when they obey her and consecrate their hearts to her
heart and the Heart of Jesus.
To have this intense union with Jesus,
with God, we must give ourselves to Our Lady. It is there in the
intimacy with Him that we are saturated with His life and that He
reveals to us great lights, great insights into His divine
mysteries. Yes, indeed, the light will steal across the earth and
the hearts of men will be hearts filled with His love. They will
know their God with great light imparted to them by the Holy Spirit
given to them because of the deep union that they have with Jesus.
The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand. He is giving to us these
great lights at this time for He has lifted the veil and we see many
things and the light steals across the sky and we see with clear
vision.
Isaiah 30: 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Isaiah 30: 25:
"On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great
slaughter
when the strongholds fall."
Truly His Heart is the fountain of
divine life. It flows through the Church, through the hands of His
holy priests. When priests are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary and celebrating the Mass, and administering the sacraments,
an immense amount of His grace will be outpoured on the earth.
A people in darkness have seen a great
light. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World!
Our Father...thy Kingdom come, Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven. We will all love as the Father
intends, for now He looks to the earth and He sees it covered with
darkness. As hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
the earth will be covered with His light.
Revelation 12:1-12:
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 labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon
with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned
with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and
hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the
woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that he could eat
the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy,
the Son who was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and
the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the
woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for
her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels
attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but
they were defeated and driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the
primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the
world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were
hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven,
'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God,
and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused
our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down.
They have triumphed over him by the blood of the lamb and by the
word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of death
they did not cling to life. So let the heavens rejoice and all who
live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming-because
the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little
time left.'
We are in her spiritual womb (heart).
She is pregnant, bringing forth her children of light. As we go to
her heart, she crushes the head of the serpent. Some of the
brightest stars that will light up the earth are in the Shepherds of
Christ Movement. We are the children of light. We are being sent
forth as she brings us forth her children of light to stamp out the
darkness. We must give ourselves to Mary.
