Excerpt from Blue Book 7

April 6, 1995 - Letter to Fr. Carter

Jesus: Dear Fr. Carter,

    My dear priest-son, you need to
help her circulate these letters on the
Eucharist to the priest. I am writing
letters to My beloved priest-sons of
My great love for them. Priests
need to know how I love them. When
they are filled with My love they
will preach about My love to others.

Please read the message January 22, 1995.

R. Jesus withstood the Passion, Jesus knew
    always the Father's love.

God so loved this world, He sent His only
    Son into this world for love of
    me so I would be with Him
    forever in heaven.

 

April 6, 1995

Beyond Signs and Wonders

Jesus: I am drawing souls to Me that will love Me deeply
    in their hearts, not the sign and wonder people.

This is your suffering to be neglected, ignored,
    to know God deeply in your heart. Remember how
    I have tested you and tried you in the past.

These messages are not for the signs and wonder,
    they are for My apostles that will spread
    My love deep in their hearts.

Interior union, I crave deep union, to be
    so one with each person, so they can
    say as St. Paul

 

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

 

Jesus: Stop what you are doing in your busy lives,
    be alone with Me.

I am truly present.

 

April 8, 1995 - Saturday

When I Worry, I have taken my Focus off of Him

Jesus: Do not worry what others think, live only to please Me.

R. Last night the organ would not work, there were about 1000 people
at the Center, the mike didn't work, when I played from the
Day you Were Born, it sounded as if I had my hands on the
wrong keys. What lengths I feel I have to explain myself.
All I have to do is to try to please Him, to act in the Father's
will with love. He is teaching me to not worry what others
think, just live to please Him. I would rather do anything
then offend Him.

    I am not perfect, others are not perfect, always love.
Model your life after Him. I must try to imitate Him in
my actions. I see more and more that I must live to please
Him and not worry what others think. When I am worrying
about what they think, I have taken my focus off of Him.

 

April 8, 1995

Our Mission Given by the Father, we live under Mary's Mantle

R. Mary is the new Eve, Mary is our model.

Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit in forming Christ in us.

We live our life of Baptism, our life of grace
    by continually dying and rising in Jesus,
    rising to a greater share in Christ's
    resurrection.

Mission - sent here by God the Father.

Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit in forming
    Christ in us.

Mary is all pure, all holy, the new Eve.
Mary keeps us under her mantle to help us to accomplish our mission.
We accomplish our mission under her mantle.

Acting under Mary's mantle as the Father wills

Our mission: to help renew the priests, the Church and the world.

My Mission given by the Father
    my gifts, my talents —
    Judged on how I did my mission with love —
        not on what I lacked.

Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit to make us more
    like Christ. She protects us under her
    mantle.

 

April 8, 1995

The Holy Family

R. Joseph - humility and reverence

Simple, fervent, adoration

Lay at your feet, charity, love.
live to have a pure heart.

At Jesus' birth the
beasts adored Him - warmed by their breath
unite my poor love with Thy infinite love.

 

Nativity - put aside pride and haughtiness.

Goods are not the most important.

Tame my rebellion flesh.

Simplicity - Hidden Life

 

Love

 

} Cold Night - deep December
Poverty
Hidden
Simplicity

My impure eyes could never have born the brightness of
    His glory.

Be there at the stable - breathe the cold air — touch
    the baby, hear the angels sing.

No Lights - No Heat, No Frills, No House,
    Bare Essentials

Jesus is Master of All the World!

    My heart is charmed by earthly things.

Jesus suffered from the beginning.

Joyful Mystery Meditations

Annunciation

Hypostatic union

    Adam sinned — Jesus comes to redeem
        us. He is the new Adam.
        He is our Savior.

Sing: A Song from Jesus

 

Visitation

Manifest Himself in the womb.
    goes to His precursor
    John is touched in the womb by the grace of God.

    Even in the womb, John declares the glory of
        Jesus.

    See Mary go to Elizabeth — John jumps in
        Elizabeth's womb.

    Call to purification.

    We are given a sharing in His life at baptism.

Dear God help us to be sensitive to the touch of Your grace.

Jesus at the Visitation was hidden in His Mother's womb — Now Jesus is
hidden in the tabernacle, under the appearance of bread and wine.

He stands at the door of our hearts and knocks
'Behold I stand at the door and knock'
    Every grace a visit from Jesus.

Dear God,
    Clothe our souls in virtue for You, our Bridegroom, the Bridegroom of our soul.
    John jumped in the womb of Elizabeth - hidden!!

    Many treat Jesus with indifference and coldness.

Dear God we adore
    Thy holy presence under the veil.
 

Nativity

    The angel appeared to the shepherds — they were filled with
    fear. And there was brightness all around them.

        For this day is born to you a Savior,
            who is Christ the Lord.
        And suddenly there was with the Angel
            a multitude of the heavenly host,
            praising God and saying.   (Luke 2:11,13 )

        Glory to God in the highest, and on
            earth peace to men of good will.   (Luke 2:14)

        This day is born to you a Savior.    (Luke 2:11)

    Jesus shared with the animals in a cave.

        'You shall find an infant wrapped in swaddling
            clothes and laid in a manger'   (Luke 2:12)

        An infant is helpless, little weak cries,
            softens our hearts
        not as of a royal house, not clothed in gold.

    Jesus is approachable - with confidence and love.

    

Presentation

The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary

1.  The Prophecy of Simeon.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

2.  The Flight into Egypt.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

3.  The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

4.  Jesus and Mary Meet on the Way to the Cross.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

5.  Jesus Dies on the Cross.   Jesus:  Spread My Love throughout this world. As I watch you each day, I watch you this second. I am watching you this very minute. I am asking you to spread My love throughout this world to the hurting souls that need to know this love. Souls will be lost because they did not know My love. Souls will be lost. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

6.  Mary receives the lifeless body of her Beloved Son in her arms.  R. After He was taken down from the cross. This is the call - dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

  

R. The love that They have for each one of us - that Jesus truly died and gave the last drop of His Blood and that Mary His Loving Mother, suffered such immense suffering. Our hearts will never know how her heart was torn in her chest. She bore no wounds, but her heart, how it suffered! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

7.  The Burial of Jesus.   And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart O Mary!

   

Finding in the Temple

Excerpt from Mother at Our Side - God's Will—Our Guiding Principle

This event in Christ's life also demonstrates that conformity to God's will sometimes brings hurt or sorrow to loved ones. Jesus knew that His remaining behind would cause suffering for Mary and Joseph—we can well imagine their anxiety. Jesus was sorry this had to be. He certainly was not insensitive to His parent's feelings, yet He had to do what He did. There can be similar situations in our own lives. Precisely because we are striving to seek out and do God's will, we may be causing hurt to loved ones. We know, however, there is no other course of action if we are to be open to God's designs for us.

   
 

R. In baptism we receive a sharing in His life —
    we become children of God and heirs of heaven.


Resurrection

Jesus is the new Adam
We want to be one with Him.
In baptism we share in His life —
We want to remain in the state of grace —

 

Through Him, With Him, In Him

  

R. We want to be purified — transformed more and more into His
    image and likeness.

Recognize the dignity — that God gives
    us a sharing in His life in baptism.

My Religious Need Adoration

Jesus: Pray to be intimately joined to Me. Be about our love affair.
Seek to have great union with Me — oneness — I will minister
to My people through you My religious. I
want to be one with My priests and
to lead the suffering souls back
to My Heart. Priests need one hour
of adoration daily. Sisters have forgotten
their hearts. They have turned
hard and forgotten how I love them.
I want to live in such union with them.

    My answers are given in your heart.
My answers are given when you spend
time alone with Me. Open your hearts
and pray to the Spirit. Surrender your
lives to Me, My beloved religious.
You have forgotten your reason
for becoming a religious.
You are My special spouse, My
special ones, those I have
called. You were called
by Me to do this work.

You have answered the call and forgotten
our love affair. I am in love with you.
I want to be one in you.
My wounds were deep — Through My hands and feet —
without bounds — So is My love for you —
My love is without bounds.
Your love is so weak. It is barely
on the surface. Come deeply into My
Heart. I penetrate your heart and
ponder your heart and your ways.
Such indifference. My Heart bleeds
for your indifference My religious.
I am Jesus and you have
forgotten Me, but I have not
forgotten you.

R. Such knowledge is acquired
in intimate union with Jesus. No
human can tell us what He
communicates to us in this
loving, intimate union.

    What are we doing? We can be looking
for our answers about God in
the world. We can forget how uniquely
created each person is, how uniquely
we can love God and others. He wants to
communicate uniquely to each of us
in a love relationship. Closer
than any husband or wife, closer
than any human can communicate.
He communicates to us His
Wisdom. He gives to us His
Knowledge, it is a knowing in our
being. A oneness that only I can have
with Him.

    Where are we going in our busy
lives that we are overlooking such
great gifts of His sharing His life
with us. How He loves us.
He is outpouring these to us. We need
this intimacy to acquire this intimate
knowledge with Jesus.

Jesus: The priests need to come to My Heart!
You can forget about the gift you receive
in an intimate love affair with Me —
You can miss the mystery —

These writings are a gift to give you insight
    into the hidden mysteries —

You miss the gift of My beautiful letters of love to
    you — I love you, I love you, I love you.

R. Jesus said, the priests need to become one in Him.
They need one hour in adoration. What is Jesus
saying. If we go to the world, if we
go to our books, we get knowledge.

But Jesus communicates
to each soul in their hearts. He ponders
the way of our heart. He knows
the Father's plan for us. He writes His
plan on our heart. His door is open
to speak to us in our heart.

 

 

April 8, 1995

Love - Depth

R. We are bringing back people to His
    love.

We can acquire knowledge from an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Love is in depth not surface.

Love — depth

Immeasurable — try to measure this.

Jesus says bring back
    My priests to My love.

Priests Would Lead the Rosary

Jesus: I want My beloved priests to pray the rosary and use these meditations. The peoples’ hearts will be brought back to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart. These are rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is a powerful tool to spread the devotion to the rosary across this land. People can lead the rosary in prayer groups. Make the shorter meditations into large print for Nursing Homes. Make some meditations into large print for the sick who have all day to pray. It is only through the power of prayer that Satan will be stopped. Praying the rosary will crush the head of Satan. You are given these rosary meditations as a powerful tool to crush the head of Satan and to bring the hearts of all to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. They are focused on the Eucharist and the Mass and will lead many to the Catholic Church.

I am giving all who promote the spread of these messages great graces and guiding them as they do. Teams can be started to go out and pray the rosary this way. Make recordings for the blind and the old.

I am Jesus. Please comply to My request.

Glorious Meditations

R. He is the head of the body, the Church.

This world is not our resting place.

Resurrection   

John 2: 19-22

Jesus answered, ‘Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ The Jews replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple: are you going to raise it up again in three days?’ But he was speaking of the Temple that was his body, and when Jesus rose from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what he had said.

 

R. Fear and hatred watch around His tomb.

Jesus rose from the dead.
He was no longer held captive.

Free, Joyous, Triumphant, Radiant.
His Glorified Body.

1 Corinthians 15: 55

Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?

     

Death has no power over Jesus!

The ineffable joy and glory of the Resurrection has been
    purchased at the price of the most horrible
    sufferings.

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, so to
    have entered into His glory.

It is in the road of sorrow and pain that we trace
    His bloody footprints.

We see His Glory.

Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

R. See His glorified body, glistening!!

Oh Death, where is your sting?
Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He has risen as the prophets foretold.
He lives in us.

 

Ascension

    

Luke 24: 50-51

Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. 

   

R. He promised to send the Holy Spirit.
He tells us our Mission given to us from Him.
He blesses us.

The Apostles were filled with grief and wonder at the Ascension.

They continue to see Him go upward and a cloud
    takes Him out of sight — Let us always
    look upward.

He never leaves us.
He goes to prepare a place for us. This is His promise.

This world is not our true home.
Jesus is perfect love —
This is the place we should direct our thoughts to —
"He goes to prepare a place for us"
He enters into the bosom of the Father.

Mortal sin is death.
The enemy does not want the soul to see the truth.
Arise those who sleep, arise from the dead.

How do I break the cords that tie me down?
How do I roll away the stone that keeps
    me tied down?
How do I break the habits that keep me tied down,
    that stop me from life?

For us Christ died and He rose. 

 

1 Corinthians 15: 39-44

    Not all flesh is the same flesh: there is human flesh; animals have another kind of flesh, birds another and fish yet another. Then there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; the heavenly have a splendour of their own, and the earthly a different splendour. The sun has its own splendour, the moon another splendour, and the stars yet another splendour; and the stars differ among themselves in splendour. It is the same too with the resurrection of the dead: what is sown is perishable, but what is raised is imperishable; what is sown is contemptible but what is raised is glorious; what is sown is weak, but what is raised is powerful; what is sown is a natural body, and what is raised is a spiritual body. 

     

R. Our bodies will be glorified.

Help me to rise from the tomb of my failings to live
    in, through, and with Thee.

 

Descent of the Holy Spirit

Acts 2: 1-4

"When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
 

 

The Assumption

Sing: Hail Mary Gentle Woman

Sing: Immaculate Mary

 

Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth

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.
 

Sing: Hail Holy Queen

Revelation 21: 1-4

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’ 

   

Intense love of Father.

Cried at doing His will.
Give yourself to the Father.

March 30 - Cried at my unworthiness.

Satan wants this stopped — go to these groups and
    bring the rosary meditations.

Intentions

Spread of the Devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Pray for priests the world over.
Pray for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, Chapters and Finances.
Spread and publication of the Blue Books, Rosary Books, tapes etc.
Fr. Carter and Fr. Smith
Nursing Home Ministry
Children the world over
Souls in purgatory
Intentions deep in our hearts - family friends, those who asked us to pray for them.

 

See through the eyes of others, yourself!
Are you like Christ?

   

Jeremiah 7: 23-28

My one command to them was this: Listen to my voice, then I will be your God and you shall be my people. In everything, follow the way that I mark out for you, and you shall prosper. But they did not listen, they did not pay attention; they followed their own devices, their own stubborn and wicked inclinations, and got worse rather than better. From the day your ancestors left Egypt until today, I have sent you all my servants the prophets, persistently sending them day after day. But they have not listened to me, have not paid attention; they have deliberately resisted, behaving worse than their ancestors. So you will tell them all this, but they will not listen to you; you will call them, but they will not answer you." Then you are to say to them, "This is the nation that will neither listen to the voice of Yahweh its God nor take correction. Sincerity is no more, it has vanished from their mouths.

   

R. Be humble and peaceful.

It would be better to have the whole world turn
    against you than offend Jesus.
Love all others for Jesus' sake, love Him for Him alone. 

 

April 11, 1995

Love Your Brothers

Jesus: Do not listen to the devil talking in your head.
You must know the great love I have for
you. Your Father loves you with the
deepest love. Let go and know His love.
My child, I love you so much.
Come to My Heart, come and be with
Me in perfect peace. I am Jesus, the
Son of God.

 

April 11, 1995 - All Saints - 8:15am

Love God, Love Others, Unity

R. How do I unite with a person? If all were
living in the Father's will, what a wonderful
world this would be, such harmony, such
love, love creates a bond; hatred is division.

    The more I am saturated with His love, the
more I am one with everyone. I cannot be
united to Him and separate from anyone
else.

    We are one in the body of Christ. Jesus is
the head, we are the members, if one member
of the body is in pain the whole body suffers.
If my toe hurts, I do not cut it off, but
I try to heal it.

Jesus: Pray little ones for your brothers that are
suffering and in pain. As you would nurture your
sore toe, pray for your suffering brothers.
This is the healing balm for their soul. As you
apply ointment on your wounded toe, apply
this healing balm to your brother. (your
prayers for them) Love one another and
be kind, the more you unite with Me the
more you unite with one another.

    Love generates love. As ripples on a
pond, your love is a healing balm to those
around you. Radiate the fire of My love.
Love is healing. Do you think only of
yourselves or are you focused on the needs
of your brothers, also. You radiate My love
to all.

    Oh little ones, if you only knew, how
very simple it all is. You in your feeble
minds think things are so complicated.
I call you to love of God and love of one
another.

    There were two men. One filled and
saturated with the love of God, one void
of His love. How do you unite with
these two men? It is easy to unite to one
fixed on God, one who is acting according
to the Father's will. There is such unity
when men are joined in the deep love
of God. But I say to you, you cannot
love Me and be divided with your brothers.
To love Me is to love all God's creatures, to see
the creation of the Father, to see the image
of God in them, to know that I gave My
life for them.

    If you love Me, you are united with your
brothers, love generates love. How can you love
Me and be divided? How can you harbor hatred
in your hearts for your brothers and love Me?

    It is easy to unite with those who are
filled with love, the bond is strengthened
in My love, I call you to love all men, to see
with compassion, to see beyond to the beautiful
creation of the Father.

    Many of your brothers are hurting and in pain.
Some have turned their hearts to hearts of
stone. They are cold and in darkness. I call you
to radiate the fire of My love to this world. I
call you to be My light in the dark night.
I call you to put on Christ. I call you to
follow the call to go into the world and
preach the Gospel message of the Lord
Jesus Christ. The message of love. The
love He had that He gave His life for
each and every soul, that He rose to
new life and He will come again.

I am Jesus, you are My hands, you are My Heart, you
are My instruments to spread My love to your brothers. I call
you My brother, oh My beloved, time is short, go into this
world and give all you meet the love of Jesus
living within you. I call you to love,
I call you to service. I call you. How
favored you are that you are called by
God. I Love You, My beloved, will
you answer the call.

The  time is set, you will know sufferings as
men go about this earth, they are willful
and disobedient, I am calling you to
love. You will be the light in the darkness,
My power and My might will radiate from
you. You will be My pillar of strength.
You must stay forever rooted in My love.
Love radiates energy. What could be
better than being in love with God?
What a power, what a might. Union
with God is the most powerful union.

    I call you to the tenderest, deepest
loving union. I wait for you My beloved
spouse. I want to be one with you.
Come to My altar, receive My body
and blood. I give you Myself in the
Holy Eucharist. I give you My very body
and blood to nourish you. I become one
with you in the deepest union. Oh how
I long for you to come. How I want to
share My love with you. How I long for your love
in return. My beloved, My beloved, I gave
My Flesh and Blood for you on Calvary, now I
give Myself to you today. I am truly present in
the Eucharist. I am as present as when I walked the earth.

    Come to My tabernacle and sit with Me.
I am God and I am waiting for you My
precious children. I am waiting for our
love affair. I am waiting to give you
abundant graces, to share My life with
you. I am your friend and I am waiting
with My grace, My Divine love. I
want to give you these gifts. I want to
be your best friend. I love you, I love you,
I love you. Let go of your world and focus totally
on Me. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me.

A Priest is a Gift from God

R. We are blind men, we do not see that we are
    offending God. They beat Him at the
    pillar, they beat the God-made-man.
    You can say how blind are they, how
    blind you are today.

We do not see Jesus in our midst, we
    do not see how we offend Him, we
    do not see God in one another,
    we do not see what we do to
    others we do to Him.

Union, Oneness, we are one in Him.
    Be united in His love for He is truly here
    and in our midst.

God gives us His special priests.

I feel a presence of God in a deep way when a
    priest is present.

What a calling to be a precious priest.
    The priest was chosen by God.
    The priest has the power
    to baptize and forgive sins.

He gives to the priest the power to change
    bread and wine into His body and blood.

Wow —

His way is unity, His way is love, His way is harmony.
His way is the way, to be one in Him and live as
He lives in us in this world.
 

Jesus: I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.
He who abides in Me will have the light of life.
R. The Father gave His only Son that we might have
life in Him.

Who are we that He loves us so much.

Deep in His Heart

Speaking to Jesus

R. I want to be so wrapped in You that
I exist so deeply in You, in the great abyss of Your
Heart, lost so deeply in Him.
But there is always more depth for
there is no limit to the depth that I can
penetrate Your heart. To penetrate it deeply
is to realize that I can penetrate it even
deeper.

Jesus: As My Heart beats in endless love for you,
I am so present to you. I am God and I am present,
you worry and you fume and I am in you.

R. Hear the roaring flames burning in
His Heart, feel the warmth the security for
He is our all. As we live and breathe our peace is
in Him and in His burning love.

Tunnel Vision

R. Whacking Jesus on His Head. Pains in the Head.

    The things the people want to hear are not the
things He says, deep, deep love, we do not understand,
don't be too gory, too emotional, too . . .

    He is depth — He is love, He
is a Burning Furnace of love.

    He gives us little glimpses of Himself. He gives us
a grace and we think, oh it can't be like this because
we think in human terms. We must rid ourselves
of our preconceived ideas and experience Him,
in the insight He is giving us — delving
deeply into His love.

    We must surrender our human minds to be
transformed by His light. See insight into the mystery.
Pray for this insight. It is as He allows
us to experience in our heart.

We have tunnel vision, we look with human minds.

Jesus: Reach out to Me and do not fear.

R. Jesus wants unity. Jesus wants oneness.
We put up walls and block the intimacy we could have.
Unity — Reach out and do not fear.

 

April 12, 1995 - St. Gertrude's - 8:20a.m.

Overwhelming Union with Jesus after Communion

Jesus: This is My gift given to you My precious
and most loved child. I give to you these
memories of Our love spent together.
Touching moments in deepest union. Oh how
I love you and I give to you this great gift
of oneness with you. You
cannot express the depth your soul
feels when We unite in deepest union.
Oh, My beloved, such intense love this
merging of My Divine love with
your soul.

Come and be lost with Me, let Me
carry you away and be off, removed
from this world.

R. Deepest union with Him, remembering
my intense love with Him in this Church,
when He touched my soul in this deep
union. Wanted to permeate my soul and
penetrate my being around November
of 1993 — such oneness — first time He
talked about this union. Just want such
oneness — So joined. Being absorbed in His love.

Let me be immersed in the Vat of Your love
Dropped deeply into the deep abyss of
Your Heart. I am totally penetrated with
Your light and Your love.

My whole body is bathed in His light. Weakness
to experience this unity, in deeper and deeper,
deeper and deeper in Him, I am One
In Him.

Depth and immeasurability is His love.

Let me be so saturated with Your light, Your
life, so deep, deep in union with Thee,
so deep in union with the Almighty
God, so as I breathe, my every breath
becomes joined with Him, my every heart
beat, beats as one in Him. I am
existent in Him, joined in deepest love. 

 

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

Insight into the Hidden Mysteries

R. Had such a presence at St. Gertrude's —
such oneness, next to my daughter,
remembered all the intense love experiences
I had with Him in that Church, cried harder,
knew His intense love, remembered
November when He said be one with Him —
such oneness, so beautiful, words cannot
explain.

 

April 12, 1995 - 9:20p.m.

Love Among One Another

R. To be one in Jesus in deepest love is to
be one with you because I realize how
much He loves you that He gave His
life for you and would die for you this
day. He is one with the Father, to know
His love is to know the Father's love and
love of the Holy Spirit. The Father
loves you so much that He gave
His Son as a sacrifice for you that
you might be with Him forever
in heaven. How can I not love you
with deepest love if I am joined in such
union with Him. Oh how I love you
my dear sweet brothers. I see in you the
reflection of the God who created
you. You who are so valued and
precious to Him are so valued by me.

Come Holy Spirit fill us and enkindle
in us the fire of Your love. Come Holy
Spirit fill our hearts and enkindle in us
the fire of Your love. Fill us,
fill us, oh Holy Spirit with the fire
of God's love.

Dear Holy Spirit, fill us full with the fire of God's love.

Dear Holy Spirit, You are one with the Father
and the Son. Transform us more in the
heart of the Virgin Mary into the
image of Jesus, we who were created
in Your image and likeness. Help us to
model ourselves more and more after God.
We yearn to model ourselves after Jesus
and Mary. Help us to be joined in
such union with our brothers so that
we too can model our love relationships
after the greatest love relationship
that exist among the Persons of the
Trinity. Let us be joined in such union
with one another in deepest love.
Such oneness among men — Oh God
to know You is to know more of Your
goodness, You who are all good.

Jesus: I am He who came to this earth in
greatest love for you My beloved ones.
I came to show you how to love. It
is in uniting yourselves closer and
closer to My Heart through My Most
Sacred Heart that you will unite in deepest
love with all your brothers. Be joined
in such union with Me. Let Me
permeate your being and penetrate
your soul for I thirst for love of you.
Say the Prayer for Union with Me all through
the day. 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.

 

April 12, 1995 - 11:34p.m.

Wisdom

R. He gives all we need to be made clean.
He gives us the sacrament of confession.
He gives the priest the power to forgive our
sins through Him. He gives us new life in
baptism. He outpours His grace to us.
And we fume and fret and holler for our
ills and He gives to us the remedies to cure
our ills. We are as blind men. We do not
see. We hurt but we turn away from
Him who can cure us, minute by
minute, second by second, He provides for
all our needs and we scoff at Him and
in our willfulness we walk a barren
desert wounded and alone.

    Oh Holy Spirit impart to us the gift of
wisdom and knowledge and understanding
to see the perishable things of this
world in their contexts and to see more
with the vision of God, the great gifts He
imparts to us. Vision beyond our
comprehension. Vision into the mystery
of God to see beyond what is visible and
comprehend more these mysteries with great
faith. They have turned their heads. They
have become stiff-necked, they are willful and
base, they have lost their way. And the
Holy Spirit with His life imparts to them
great gifts of Godly wisdom, knowledge
and understanding and gives to them the
vibrancy, the force, the fire of His love.
Alleluia. Praise God in His great goodness.
Alleluia.

                 

April 13, 1995

Union with the Trinity

R. We see the profound mystery of
the Trinity. We see that there are
3 Persons in one God.

    God has communicated to
us in Salvation History. He
has communicated Himself
within the framework of
community. Also God communicates
Himself to individuals in a
most intimate relationship,
but He communicates to a
person in their totality.

God has called men together in
religious communities to
realize the truth, to help
strengthen with devoted
consecrated people His
Church.

    The Christian community
is a terrestrial reflection
of the ultimate and absolute
community — namely the
Trinity.

   

Chapter 6 - The Christian and Church (excerpt)

Grace, or the Christ-life, is a created participation in Trinitarian life. This Christ-life, consequently, calls us to a special existence of knowing and loving. Christian faith and love, which are created participations in the Trinity's knowing and loving, allow us to know and love God in a special manner. Faith and love also give us a new capacity to relate to both our fellow Christians and to all others as well.

       Because the life of the Trinity is person-centered, so must the life of the Christian community be person-centered. For many years, it seems, we were not sufficiently person-conscious; however, the theology that has emanated from Vatican II is helping to rectify this situation. In the pre-Vatican II Church, structures in the Church were occasionally treated as ends in themselves rather than as the means of serving the persons in the Church. Slowly but surely, structures in the Church are being renewed so that they might better serve their true purpose, which is to aid in the ongoing development of her members.

       The Christian community, in turn, develops when those who make up that community develop as authentic Christians. Just as each divine person contributes perfectly to the community life of the Trinity according to the perfect fullness of his personhood, so each Christian contributes to community life in proportion to the degree of his or her personal development.

       Authentic interpersonal relationships help to develop community. The Trinitarian community is a community of profound relationships. Because we reflect Trinitarian community, we are intended to have relationships not only with the persons of the Trinity, but likewise with one another. Authentic interpersonal relationships not only unite in a deeper knowledge and love the persons directly involved, they also make a person more capable of loving others more deeply and, therefore, more capable of deepening the bonds of total community. If a person is growing in the capacity to love his or her friends, for example, that person is concurrently growing in the capacity to also love others—both those who are members of the Church and those who are not.

       The concept of the Church as Body of Christ certainly emphasizes the sense of corporateness that should permeate the consciousness of the Church's members. We must think in terms of both what is good for the entire Church and, through this Church, what is good for the total human community. Even when we disagree among ourselves, we do so not because we want to glory in having the upper hand, but because we believe that to disagree here and now is necessary so that the truth might better emerge for the good of the community. St. Paul speaks to us about this sense of corporateness: "In the name of the encouragement you owe me in Christ, in the name of the solace that love can give, of fellowship in spirit, compassion, and pity, I beg you: make my joy complete by your unanimity, possessing the one love, united in spirit and ideals. Never act out of rivalry or conceit; rather, let all parties think humbly of others as superior to themselves, each of you looking to others' interests rather than his own" (Phil 2:1-4).

       In our sense of corporateness, that is, motivated by a common purpose and a common good, we should learn to rejoice in the gifts and the achievements of others. These are not isolated gifts and achievements; rather, they redound to the good of the whole body. We all probably know of numerous instances of jealousy and a false sense of competition that have hindered the work of Christ. In the long run, however, if the work of Christ is being accomplished, and if I am making an effort to do my part, does it really matter whether I or someone else is responsible for this or that particular accomplishment? Does it matter whether this or that group or organization receives credit? St. Paul again has words for us: "After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? Simply ministers through whom you became believers, each of them doing only what the Lord assigned him. I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. This means that neither he who plants nor he who waters is of any special account, only God, who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters work to the same end" (1 Cor 3:5-8).

end of excerpt

    

R. We are to live united to others
    in a bond of love —
    Serving God as one and
    doing His will —

We see that God wants union
    for us — working together —
    oneness in our hearts
    in prayer —

A strong spirituality as members
    of the Father's family.

Divisions of jealousy, competition
    for dominance, envy,
    anger, seeking dominance
    for dominance sake —
    tear us apart —

We are to seek to be dressed in
    virtue and die to vices.

Relationships in love —
In helping others to be
    in their vocation
    what God wants them to be,
    with their talents, serving God
    their Father in love.

    We in our intimate love union
with the Trinity can grow deeply
in our love union with the
Persons of the Trinity as we
are becoming more one in
Them, understanding
the oneness of God and
love Father, Son and Holy Spirit
as the Persons of the Trinity.
We can be unique in developing
in our talents, contributing
to the community and deeply
united in furthering the
building of the Kingdom
of God — helping to bear
fruit for the Kingdom —

   

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.

 

R. We are not in competition with
our brothers' talents or
God's call to them — we do
not try to raise above those
over us —

We are realizing what gifts we
have — have been given to
us and we are to use them
as God wishes us to, to help
build His Kingdom.

    In growing in that deep
intimacy with the Trinity
we are preparing ourselves
for everlasting union with
God in heaven — We become
more and more absorbed in
that unity of the Trinity as
we dwell deeply in Them —
Realizing Father, Son and Holy Spirit
dwell within our graced baptized
soul —

    We know unity, oneness —
love — We are enveloped in
that vat of love of Father, Son and
Holy Spirit — We know more deeply
that special presence of 'God'
in us —

The indwelling of the Trinity
in us —

We are saturated more with
Their life in us.

We understand profound unity
in God's Plan for the earth,
for man —

We see the unity of heaven
and earth in His Plan
with the rule of love and
harmony —

Peace to the earth —

Love to His creatures —

We understand more the
mystery of love and the
mystery of God's love for us,
the mystery of the Incarnation
and the Immaculate Conception.
Oh God, help us to unite and be
one with all our brothers —
Help us to live by Your Plan
for us and not be rebellious
children —

Help us to seek Your will and
    be so one with the Trinity —

    We are in our vocation in Shepherds of
Christ praying for the priests, the Church
and the world. We see ourselves as united
with the souls Jesus died for —

We want to spread this devotion
to the Two Hearts to help bring
this purity to the world.

 

April 13, 1995 - 5:30a.m.

To Want Oneness for All

R. We are so immersed in the love of
the Trinity. Help us to unite and
be one with all of our brothers. Help
us to see the oneness in it all. The
oneness with all others living, the one-
ness with the angels and saints, the
oneness with the souls in purgatory,
most of all our oneness with God. To be
one in Him is to be one with the souls
of the earth. To see the harmony,
the beauty of this great oneness
between all things. I am one in Him,
He is one in me, to be so united to Him
is to love His creation, to love His
creatures, to love all that He has
created. To want oneness for all —
To see everything in this
immense scope of intense unity.
I cannot love Him and not love
what He creates. He is God.
How can I love Him and not love
His Plan for us creatures, the world.
I love His creation.

Jesus: My beloved one, I truly write to you,
to know Me is to love. I created all
things out of love.
I give to you the world, the sunlit
mornings and the moonlit nights, I give
to you all the beauty in the creation
of water and land. I give to you the
beauty in the flowers and the budding
trees, each tree created for you My
beloved, a gift for you from God. I give
to you from My abundance. I am God.

I am all good!! I give you the earth!
There are so many blades of grass, so
many petals in the flower, My infinitude
My greatness is seen in the vastness
of the ocean.

Jesus: My beloved, how blind
are the eyes of men. They live here and
they do not see the God above who watches
over all the earth. Each bug, so unique,
so detailed, to the smallest ant, the
smallest fly, do you My beloved, see
the infinitude of God? Do you see
the details in a human body? And many
men in their pride have forgotten God. I
give to you the sunlit morning, the moonlit night,
the stars in the sky, the flowers of the
earth, I am God. My Father, out of
His great goodness, gives these creations
to man and man in his willfulness
rebels against God.

    Man is a human creature. I give you baptism.
In baptism you receive a sharing in My life.
Your knowing and loving capacity is elevated.
Man has spit on God and chosen
the man-made things of this world as
his gods. Time alone with Me, Rita, throw your
clutter out, give your things away to those
who can use them. Why do you hold on
to so many created things of this earth? The
beauty is in God. I am life! I give to
you My life, I give to you a blade of grass,
a beautiful flower, you are shuffling
around unneeded debris. Let go to Me,
My beloved, I will help you sort your clutter
and simplify your life. I will give you
great gifts gently. My letters I will protect,
My rosary is the gift My Mother and I
give specially to all on this earth.
You will see as the plan of the Father unfolds.
Your worry was in vain. As you worried
with each child you carried in your
womb and longed for the pregnancy
when it was over, you longed for the gift of
life growing inside.

    I give to you, My beloved, the gift of
life on this earth, created in all its
beauty by the Father, I give you great
gifts, reflections of the Father's love and
you do not have time to smell the roses.
I call you to peace and harmony.
Harmony, oneness, My way works
in peace. Man has forgotten God
and made his life here his end. He has
worshipped false gods, many are dead in
their minds and their heart is empty of love —
empty — To be without God is to
be locked in a dark tomb. Come out of
your tombs, open your eyes to
the things of God. The T.V. has become
the great god to man, oh My children,
My children, you have traded love and
kindness for sterile things. You give up
My gift of grace in you for your inanimate
objects, you are hard and cold in
your hearts, you operate on dead
cells in your batteries.

    Let the Spirit penetrate your hearts,
fill your souls with the fire of God's
love. May your eyes be opened and
your ears hear what I am telling you
here. You in your willfulness have
plugged up your ears and covered your
eyes.

    Rita, you stand on the edge of these
great unfoldings into the Mysteries
of God. The Spirit will come and saturate
this earth with the love of God and all
that are open will receive such an outpouring
of His life.

    I am Jesus and I have delivered this letter
to you for this world. These letters of My
love will open many cold hearts. I give
to you the Mighty Medicine for this world.
My beloved, men will know My Might and
My power, many will still reject Me and
choose the false gods they have made.
They will be condemned to the fires of
hell for their own willfulness and mortal
sins they cling to. They chose to live this
way. They chose to die this way.
They condemn themselves. I give in My
abundance good things to you. Man has a
free will to love God or to reject Him.

Remember the life you carried in your
womb, did one of your worries make
any difference at the birth. The earth
is about to be purified and brought
to abundant life in Me. Not one
worry will help in the birth. My life I
give to you, I am attentive to your every
need, let go and trust, every moment I
am present to you, I love you so! Worry
is from satan. Trust in God at every second.

R. Eve wanted to be equal to God —
Many men raise themselves up today to see
themselves as gods.

 

    John 17: 20-23

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
   and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
   you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
   that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

   

R. That is what I am seeing when I go to communion,
    saw all my special moments with Him
    to tears.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
