                May 10, 2014

                Mary: I am a mother, the Queen of Peace, of the entire
                world. Whether people love me, know me or not
                I am their spiritual mother. I cry for my children
                going to hell because of their sinful lives. I appear
                to warn the faithful, I appeared in Clearwater, so
                they could see me and change their lives, but
                many cling to their evil habits and put their
                fingers in their ears and want the world
                to revolve around them.

                    Many of my children do not pray at all –
                They live to make themselves "right". A person that
                lives to be right all the time makes that their god.

                    God calls you to live to do the will of God.
                A person seeking to do the will of God is docile,
                ready to be taught, bending, listening to God,
                can solve problems because they communicate
                with others on problems, serving God and
                seeking the Father's Plan.

                    I am Our Lady of Clearwater – God gives
                you the sacrament of baptism – what a gift –
                God gives you a sharing in His life and
                you are given the Eucharist to nourish
                this life given from God.

                    Men can rebel against God's will
                and their reasoning becomes more and
                more distorted. They shy away from the
                sufferings that God may intend them
                to endure with His strength.

                They do not keep their focus on My Son,
                Jesus, many rebelling against God –
                make being right their god and they cannot
                solve any personal problems because
                they have to be right and cannot work in love with others.
                They refuse direction
                and corrections and if you are not changing
                for the better in the spiritual life – you
                do not stand still.

                    God calls you to follow His Plan and
                to sacrifice to do it. It takes putting
                God first in one's life and intimate
                union with Jesus.

                    How can a man who never tried to trust
                anyone and really love others grow to
                advance in the spiritual life –

                    God wants you to have relationships –
                where you love and trust a significant
                few. The isolated person makes problems
                for themselves by making ways to only
                count on themselves. A person was made
                to learn to love like Jesus. You are commanded
                to love your brothers. How can a person
                hurt another person and do it for power
                and pleasure?

                    I cry because of the sin I see in
                my children that they will not admit.
                How sad to offend God and then to not
                even say you are sorry.

                    Sisters and Priests and brothers are
                the Spouse of Jesus. How they offend
                Jesus when they ignore their marriage
                to Him and ignore what they are called
                to do and serve satan in selfish
                pursuits instead.

                    I cry blood for my children being lost
                today. I have appeared in these
                messages here for 20 years and
                I am ignored.

                    As your Heavenly Mother, I beg
                that men listen to me and do as Jesus
                and I have asked you to do in these
                messages.

                    I cry blood –

                    I am ignored –

                    I am Mary your Mother –

                    How can you ignore these messages
                        and warnings –
                        you are challenging God.

                    A good God who gives you so
                        many gifts

                Mary: What do I do to get to you?

                Many of the ones being called by Jesus are
                    so focused on themselves.

                God intended you to walk hand-in-hand,
                    God intended you to live in communities
                        and families and marriages
                        because He made you social creatures –
 

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

 

                Mary: Your strength is in knowing Jesus
                at every moment, knowing the
                presence of God in your graced baptized
                soul –

                    Jesus gives you such a gift for
                living the life of resurrection joy.
                You must change yourselves from your
                evil ways. I am the Lady of Light –

                You can be held bound by your own very
                bad habits and trying to live a life
                where you don't have to answer to
                anyone.

                    You then have lost the resurrection
                joy. Jesus died, so you could live and
                have this strength – IN HIM –

                    The Virtues of faith and hope and
                love are to dominate your thinking –
                not proving you are right, challenging
                your brothers you are to love and being
                envious of your brother to raise yourself
                up. They have their talents, you have
                yours. God intended you to work
                in relationships rooted in Him to
                build His Kingdom, living in communities,
                being one with the Trinity.

                    The secret of happiness is in a
                truthful, loving heart, if one does
                not want to change from their bad
                habits they want others to let them
                do what they want and they may become
                so strong they try to force their isolated ways
                any way they can.

                    Walking in Jesus' footprints means
                carrying the cross. When some are
                bored they begin trouble for excitement.

                God is love –
                God is perfection –

                What a bad habit to live for excitement
                    and not be able to be alone without
                    satan working in the mind to help
                    create confusion and excitement –
                    boredom is the devil's playground.

                    The family that prays together
                stays together.

                    The Peace of God is found in being
                able to work in relationships with others
                outside the family in love.

                    Peace is found in being able to trust
                others and love them outside the
                family of origin. Learning to work
                with others intimately in another
                setting. God intends you to grow
                in relationships with other men outside your family
                to build the Kingdom of God.

                    Are you a source of faith and joy
                and strength for others? Do you
                bring joy to others because you
                are rooted in Jesus inside?

                Are you seeing your neighbors as they really
                are through the eyes of Jesus, created
                by God the Father?
   

John 15: 12-17

This is my commandment:
love one another,
as I have loved you.
No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
I shall no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know
the master’s business;
I call you friends,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
so that the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
My command to you
is to love one another.

 

Colossians 2:12

You have been buried with him by your baptism; by which, too, you have been raised up with him through your belief in the power of God who raised him from the dead.

   

                Mary: You are called to witness to Christ
                    You are called to grow in Christ –
                    To live in Christ today and tomorrow –
                    That means to live resurrection joy –
   

John 15: 18-21

If the world hates you,
you must realise that it hated me
    before it hated you.
If you belonged to the world,
the world would love you as its own;
but because you do not belong to the world,
because my choice of you
    has drawn you out of the world,
that is why the world hates you.
Remember the words I said to you:
A servant is not greater than his master.
If they persecuted me,
they will persecute you too;
if they kept my word,
they will keep yours as well.
But it will be on my account
    that they will do all this to you,
because they do not know
    the one who sent me.
 

John 15: 26 – 16: 4

When the Paraclete comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth
    who issues from the Father,
he will be my witness.
And you too will be witnesses,
because you have been with me
     from the beginning.

I have told you all this
so that you may not fall away.
They will expel you 
   from the synagogues,
and indeed the time is coming
when anyone who kills you 
   will think he is doing
      a holy service to God.
They will do these things
because they have never known
   either the Father or me.
But I have told you all this,
so that when the time for it comes
you may remember that I told you.

The coming of the Paraclete

I did not tell you this from the beginning,
because I was with you;

   

                Mary: You have been called by Jesus through
                    baptism – to spread the Good News.
   

Revelation 19: 6-7

And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, 'Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb.

 

The Ascension

Excerpt from September 24, 1998

Messenger: Sometime between Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.

I saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the Apostles’ Manual (p. 34-36).

The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.

The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on the water at Tom’s farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its description.

There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open, glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold and went in.

The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.

I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."

I heard the words similar to the message of May 21, 1998.

I was walled in on all sides – BARS – a prison of my own making. I turned and there was a wall missing and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

I hear Jesus speak: "I am the gateway that leads to freedom."

I know the sea of glass from the vision of March 26, 1996. I know the open door from the vision.

I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in the Mass.

Jesus: (Ascension Day May 21, 1998)

Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wish to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God’s will, Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. Your have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart.

I am the Gateway that leads to Freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the Gateway to heaven. I am God.

Come out of your tombs, I am alive, I am treated as a dead object.
Sing a new song, the dead shall be raised.
They conquered the devil with the Blood of the Lamb.
Pray to the Holy Spirit to come mightily on you.

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

end of Mary's Message

                 

                R. Dear Padre Pio help me

                All the angels and saints in heaven –

                I asked God what He wanted and He said,
                    Rita, I am the way, the truth and the life.

                    He said that I give you a heart to be true and
                    loving and to give my witness to others.

                Jesus: A friend is a person that opens up their
                    heart in love and truth to another person.
                    A person who lives by what My Father wants
                    is a delight to My Heart.

                Your face is to be true – it should reflect
                    that you are truthful and that you witness
                    to God.

                The greatest connection you seek should be
                    in strength in your heart within, strength
                    because of your deep connection with Me.
                    In baptism you receive a sharing in God's life,
                    Your knowing and loving capacity is elevated –
                    God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in the
                    graced baptized soul.

                    I am the vine, you are the branches.

                You see the betrayal of Judas, Judas
                    was even at the Last Supper –

                He betrayed not only Me –
                He betrayed his fellow apostles –

                He wore a face that was a lie for his
                    heart within was in secret keeping
                    another story.
                    Judas prided himself on being higher
                    than Me.
                    Judas was a traitor –
                    Judas did not tell the truth –
                    Judas did not respect authority –
                    Judas raised himself up and thus
                        served satan, not Me –

                Eve raised herself up because she wanted to
                    be equal to God.

                I gave you a face to reflect the beauty of
                    the God that dwells within –
                    So you will be a child of the light and
                        show the world your love and
                        show the world truth rooted in Me.

                A child called wolf – over and over again
                    to watch the people scatter and to
                    have a foolish pleasure of control –
                    the error was there was no wolf –
                    like Judas, the truth was not in the boy.

                I am the way, the truth and the life.
                I am the way, the truth and the life.
                I am the way, the truth and the life.
 

                If the Holy Spirit dwells in you, the truth is
                    in you.
   

John 14:15-31

If you love me
    you will keep my commandments.
I shall ask the Father,
and he will give you another Paraclete
to be with you for ever,
the Spirit of truth
whom the world can never accept
since it neither sees nor knows him;
but you know him,
because he is with you, he is in you.
I shall not leave you orphans;
I shall come to you.
In a short time
    the world will no longer see me;
but you will see that I live
and you also will live.
On that day
you will know that I am in my Father
and you in me and I in you.
Whoever holds to my commandments
    and keeps them
is the one who loves me;
and whoever loves me
    will be loved by my Father,
and I shall love him
    and reveal myself to him.'

Judas--not Judas Iscariot--said to him, 'Lord what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world? Jesus replied:

Anyone who loves me will keep my word,
and my Father will love him,
and we shall come to him
and make a home in him.
Anyone who does not love me
    does not keep my words.
And the word that you hear
    is not my own:
it is the word of the Father who sent me.
I have said these things to you
while still with you;
but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you everything
and remind you of all I have said to you.
Peace I bequeath to you,
my own peace I give you,
a peace which the world cannot give,
    this is my gift to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
    or afraid.
You heard me say:
I am going away and shall return.
If you loved me you would be glad
    that I am going to the Father,
for the Father is greater than I.
I have told you this now,
    before it happens,
so that when it does happen
    you may believe.
I shall not talk to you much longer,
because the prince of this world
    is on his way.
He has no power over me,
but the world must recognise
    that I love the Father
and that I act
    just as the Father commanded.
Come now, let us go.

 

                Jesus: I call you to be a teacher of My truth –

                I call you to be a witness before men –

                What is in your heart is truth and love
                    and what is on your face is no deception –
                    nor is guile found on your lips.

                Where the man of truth knows Me because
                    the truth is in him –
                    the man of deception lies and speaks
                    folly – from one side of his mouth
                    he covers up what the other side
                    tells in lies. He contradicts himself
                    and deceives others for he does not
                    respect the authority and how he is
                    to be a steward to be honest and
                    do his part honestly. Satan is the
                    father of lies.

                Satan through tempting a person to have
                    erroneous behavior provides
                    a cover - up of the truth –
                    satan is a liar –
                    satan wants men to cover - up the truth –
                    satan wants to corner a man in darkness
                    and not to show his evil plan –

                A man of truth does God's will, because
                    it is God's will – When I call you and
                    you respond – you do it because
                    you love Me and it is God's will –

                I went to My death, doing the will of the
                    Father – The man of deception wants
                    no part of suffering –

                Suffering is an excuse to him why he
                    need not do God's will –
                    He is working for pleasure and personal
                    gain opposed to the mind of God,
                    opposed to the Father's will –

                As he learns to deceive more and more, the
                    truth is far from him –
                    Satan works on a man to cover-up
                    what needs to be made known in
                    God's will and then to justify
                    why the wrong they did is right –

                No moving ahead can be accomplished for their
                    lives are lived to manipulate and
                    to deceive, to control and to seek
                    dominance for dominance sake.

                I give you hearts to learn to communicate
                    in love according to God's will –
                    not to cover-up and deceive someone
                    you love –
                    deeply loving someone is based in
                    trusting that person and knowing
                    they act trustworthy – so you can
                    count on them –

                I read your hearts and I know your ways.
                You are foolish to think I do not know
                    the motives of your hearts –

                Satan is the great deceiver –

                He wants what has been done maliciously
                    hidden, so he can cover-up what
                    needs to be a problem solved
                    with love and honesty and trust –

                I give you spiritual guides for you to
                    trust, the fool says, I need trust
                    only myself and goes away as satan
                    whispers in his ear, his evil designs
                    of cover-up.

                My Mother said 

Luke 1: 46-55

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

 

                Jesus: The beauty of her soul –

                The love of the Father's will, even
                    though she suffered in the 7 sorrows.

                I have given these 7 sorrows to you in
                    My prayers - so you know –
                    you meditate on how Mary did
                    the Father's will, Mary loved the
                    Father's will –
                    not like the old Eve consumed in
                    selfish pride and independence –
                    Mary the perfect handmaid of the Lord –
                    did the Father's will and she suffered and
                    her heart was invisibly pierced with
                    a sword –
                   
                    And her "yes" was "yes" to God –
                    Mary's face reflected the Light of God
                        that filled her –

                    Mary full of grace –
                        Mary full of God's life in her –

                    Mary perfect handmaid of the Lord –

                What does it mean to have devotion to Mary –
                    to serve God as a handmaid in
                    truth and love –
                    loving God's will first before yourself?

                In the womb of Mary – My little baby body was formed
                    through the power of the Holy Spirit.

                Mary wants you to give yourself to
                    her Immaculate Heart –

                Mary takes the soul who entrusts
                    themselves to her, to Jesus –

                Eve was independent –

                Mary full of God's life in her.

                The Holy Spirit comes to the soul giving themselves
                    to Mary in loving surrender and
                    He performs marvels of molding
                    the soul in My image and likeness –

                Truth and Trust in God –

     

 From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit And Mary

The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: "Christian life is the reproduction of Jesus in souls…

"Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.

"In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him…

"That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.

"Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.

"Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.

"These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the co-operation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life.

"Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant." 18

18. Archbishop Luis M. Martinez, The Sanctifier, op. cit. pp. 5-7.

 

 

                From Tell My People

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "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.

                R. Mary is the Queen of all Hearts –

                The individual soul, must want union
                    inside with Mary and Jesus –
                    they must surrender their independence
                    to do God's will and live as God wants them
                    to be – surrendering to God –   

 

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

 

                Jesus: Love and trust is the basis of any relationship.

                The relationship to be strong and lasting and
                    to mean something, must be rooted in
                    trust and love.

                A glass vase that keeps breaking and is glued
                    together soon cannot be repaired.

                Satan wants deception and covering up the
                    truth.

                    In advanced cases he tempts the person
                        to deceive another and cause issues
                        that can tear at the very core of life –
                        one's children, one's place of residence.
                        Satan is out to tear apart life –

                In his malicious ways he deceives and tries
                    to force others to accept his evil
                    design by power and control –
                    satan can constantly chip away at
                    a solid block to tear apart the
                    very particles of what once was strong
                    and secure –

                Satan wants control, by slowly raising
                    the heat until, he tears away
                    at the life threatening needs of
                    individuals –

                A person living their lives to cover-up and
                    deceive others, shows over and over again
                    their untrustworthiness –
                    they rationalize in marriages, in
                    institutions why, because of their
                    position – anything they put out there
                    should be accepted –

                While the other partner is being torn apart
                    in their very life situation the
                    person operating for satan further is
                    indignant and hurt, their evil is
                    being challenged –

                Their vision for what others should tolerate
                    of their 'cover-up' can be very immoral
                    and they convince themselves the evil
                    they commit to must be accepted –
                    because of their position –

                A long lasting relationship is built in
                    trust and love.
                    Love is the great gift you have
                    to share and communicate with
                    each other to help build the
                    Kingdom of God –

                Possessing a person jealously is not love –

                I give to you a free will and love gives freely.

                Trust is the value of a relationship.

                Trust and love go hand-in-hand –

                A person that lies is a liar and they
                    are untrustworthy –

                A person that covers up the truth
                    and deceives another is untrustworthy

                An untrustworthy person is not able
                    to relate in meaningful relationships
                    with persons –

                When trust may start to be built up again –
                    they can do a malicious deed of hurting
                    others through deception, cover-up and lies.

                They tear at the very essence of relationships
                    of love I call you to build –
                    They tear it apart by continual
                    untrustworthiness.

                Where one is a friend and trustworthy, a 
                    person who is untrustworthy cannot
                    have a relationship with others –
                    I died on the cross, my body was bare –
                    I, the Son of God, give Myself to
                    man today in the Eucharist – I feed
                    the life given in baptism with Myself.

                When trust is lost with a person, it is
                    hard to gain trust with them again.
                    Rebuilding trust is very difficult
                    to do, when a man at the most
                    inopportune times shows on
                    birthdays, events that they are
                    untrustworthy. The untrustworthy
                    person tears at the heart of a person
                    trying to have unity and love and
                    they (the untrustworthy person) tears
                    at the harmony and love, I intend for
                    men rooted in Me.

                Loving and trusting is given freely – a person
                    that covers up and deceives others
                    tears at the very essence of
                    why you were given life – to
                    love God and love others as yourselves.
