A message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

    I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

    My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.

Messenger:     Today is the Annunciation

  

     

Luke 1: 26-38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.

Messenger:     April 5, 1995 Mary called the
                            first public 5th service ––
                            We have done this for 10
                            years ––
                            Tomorrow will be the 10
                                year anniversary of these
                                public 5ths.

                        Mary had appeared to me daily
                            since July 5, 1994.

                        On December 5, 1996 –– 12 days before
                            Mary appeared in Clearwater
                            here is what happened

    

Two Years Ago Today I noted

   

Excerpt from April 4, 2003

Messenger:    I saw Him at the point of death on the cross December 5, 1996, after Mary appeared 500 times.

He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth moved very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not move His mouth to that extent.

Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and said: "No one was listening."

Messenger:     Then Mary began appearing in
                            gold on the 5ths when I went

Excerpt from a daily message:

                            At first when I went to Florida to do the 5th gatherings --

                                Mary was dark on the window at night until

                                December 17, 1999.

                                Then when it was dark outside she began to turn gold.

                            He wants us to have the building
                            for this purpose –– to ask
                            for donations so we can buy it.

                        Pray someone will donate a large
                            sum to help us buy it.

                        We have prayed these prayers every day,
                            rain and shine under the image
                            at 6:30pm

                            since
                            July 5, 1998 ––
                                                                        

                        We have passed out the prayer
                            manuals since January 1997
                            and prayed there daily ––
                            (in Clearwater under the image)

                        If you think things were happening
                            in Clearwater think of how
                            our prayers daily there for 8 years
                            have effected Florida.

                        Think of the elections ––
                        Think of the men who planned
                            9-11

                        Think of the hurricanes and how
                            few died.

                        Mary asked us to pray there daily and
                            the big prayer services on
                            the 5ths and 17ths and daily have
                            averted many things I am sure.
                            The prayers in Florida are united
                            with those in front of the tabernacle
                            in China praying at the same
                            time by the internet radio –– it used to
                            be by phone.

                            they have reported sad cases that
                            were the truth.

                            We pray all over the United States
                                connected at 6:20 daily through
                                the internet radio ––

                        We have prayed at 6:30pm for years
                            since Mary appeared to me
                            in 1994 - 1995 daily.

                            the red book -

                            and jiffy sheet

February 23, 1999, 5:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks:  I ask My Shepherds of Christ apostles and as many as possible to pray in this way for this novena praying for the special coming of the Holy Spirit.

    Think of yourselves as My spouse dwelling in Our pure and holy Hearts united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

FOR THIS NOVENA:

    I ask you to gather at 6:20 every evening.

    I ask you to recognize yourself as a body and realize others are praying with you at 6:20 p.m.

    I STRESS it is important for as many as possible to pray at 6:20 p.m. If you cannot pray at 6:20 p.m., I ask you to stop if possible and reflect as I will indicate later, but as many as possible are asked to pray. You are a body praying. You must feel this unity praying to your God as the people of My Movement, the Church and the world. You are gathered in one place, the world dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    Begin the novena February 25, 1999, this will continue until I tell you to stop.

    It will be important to notify as many as possible by phone of the beginning of this novena. If you have not been notified you must begin whenever you become aware of this novena.

There Will Be a Network of Prayer Power at 6:30 in the Evening

Message from Mary

Mary speaks: My children,

Every day I will give you a message on the Internet for the world.

Also, here is a basic format. I am asking you to pray the prayers from the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual and recite the rosary daily if possible at 6:30 p.m.
     A-M to pray at 6:30 their time.
     N-Z to pray at 6:30 Florida time.

There will be a network of prayer power pleasing your Father all through the day and a concentration of prayer power at 6:30 in the evening.

Your God is angered at the earth. Great graces will be granted if you pray as I have requested.

The hand of my Son is raised, and I have asked your God to have mercy on my children.

I am asking you to pray.

I am asking you to consecrate your hearts to my Heart and the Heart of my Son Jesus.

This can be given in a single line.
     "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."

I love you,

I am your Mother Mary

                                 - You will experience a fearlessness the more
                                    you pray the Holy Spirit Novena prayers
                                    given to you.

                                 - As you meditate on the scriptures you will
                                    understand more fully the plan of
                                    the Father to lead the souls into the
                                    great Reign of My Sacred Heart.

                                 - You and all who pray the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers will be
                                    united in a deep oneness with each other
                                    and the souls of the earth.

                                 - The more you pray these prayers (both sets)
                                    you will live in the truth as you
                                    dwell in Our Hearts.

                                  - You will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit.

                                  - You and your family will be protected by
                                    My Precious Blood and your families
                                    will receive special protection
                                    against satan from fervent recitation
                                    of the prayers. (the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers)

                                 - I promise to take you and the members of
                                    your family in a special way
                                    into My Sacred Heart. I will lavish
                                    you in the fires of My love.

                                 - The priests and the people of the Church and the world
                                    will receive special graces from the fervent
                                    recitation of these prayers. (both sets)

                                 - I will unite My people in a deeper love
                                    from the graces granted from
                                    fervent recitation of these prayers.

                                 - I give these prayers from My image site
                                    in Florida.
                                   I appear there daily as the Sacred Heart.
                                   Some see Me, some do not, but there
                                    is a special presence there.
                                   My Mother appears there for her children.

                                 - In the five years of her apparitions many
                                    souls who have come have been
                                    given special graces of conversion.
                                    Many have been given grace to lead
                                    them into a deeper love union with
                                    God and the Blessed Virgin.

                                 - The image site in Florida has touched
                                    the world.

                                 - I outpour great grace to those who come
                                    to the site.

                                 - There are tremendous graces of healing
                                    granted to all who come.

                                 - People who come rarely leave unchanged.
                                 - The grace granted works in their lives and in
                                    their hearts, long after they have gone.

                                 - A reminder of their visit only need be given
                                    and they experience a memory of
                                    that moment.

                                I ask you to circulate the prayers I have

Messenger:     The functions at the site must
                            go on around any talks
                            I give ––
                            The purpose is to spread
                                the materials God has
                                given us.

Jesus speaks:  

                            Please come to the 5th and
                        6th at the site in Florida.
                            Great grace is given ––––

Messenger:     Special healing graces are granted
                            on the 5ths and 13ths ––

                        The Jesus water can be gotten
                            for special healing physical
                            and spiritual.

                        All should tune in and pray
                            united at 6:20pm on
                            the 5th –– praying the
                            prayers and the rosary ––


                        There is a special retreat
                            in China April 10-13.
                            You will see the special
                                talks given ––––

                        Please come to China ––
                        It will be a time of special
                            healing and special grace.

                        It will be a fantastic retreat
                            like no other –– dedicated
                            to the Holy Father ––
                            praying for the election of the
                            new Holy Father ––
                            special talks on the spiritual
                                exercises and great gifts to
                                lead you deeper into
                                the mysteries of the
                                rosary.

                        This is a special time of grace.
                        This time is especially needed
                            to pray for the election of the pope
                            and for the Church.

                        These days are very important.
                        Also there will be great parts on
                            the internet, but it
                            is not the same as being
                            in China with the Masses
                            and Eucharist exposed.

Messenger:     

                        Jesus told me to go to Rome at this date
                            and to be there until Easter Tuesday
                            from the Feast of St. Joseph until
                            Easter Tuesday.

                        I was told before the Holy Father first went
                            to the hospital and plans were all made
                            and two days after the reservations were set
                            the Holy Father was taken to the hospital the first time.
