October 27, 1996
Message given through Rita Ring

Jesus: I am sending you, My apostles, to spread the consecration in the churches, the schools, and the family. Go to the churches and try to set up Shepherds of Christ Prayer chapters. Encourage as many as possible to join the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart. It is in fervent prayer that the Shepherds of Christ Movement will spread and many hearts will give themselves to Our Hearts.

Dear apostles, you must reach the children in the schools with the rosary. Use the aves and give them the consecration cards and the letter that I will dictate to you.

Please encourage members in the chapters to pray the prayers with their families, especially the Holy Spirit Prayer and the consecration prayers. These should be prayed aloud daily with the family, either before meals or with the family rosary. The family that prays these prayers will be united in a strong way and will withstand the attacks of the devil.

The Church is the good grazing ground. This is My sign to you. I am Jesus. My sign is these revelations I am giving. From studying these revelations, you will know I am truly speaking here. I am directing you as My apostles, to help bring about the renewal of the Church and the world. When the stray sheep are lead back to the Church, they will be fed with My Body. They will feast on rich pastures. They will be fed with the Bread of Life.

The prayer chapters that form in the church will influence the priest. They will fervently come to the tabernacle and pray for their parish. It is absolutely essential that the associates encourage the priest to read the priestly newsletter. When priests are living the consecration to Our Hearts the people will be richly fed by the Eucharist and will be receiving the great benefits given through the sacraments administered through the holy priests. You have not tapped into the fountain of grace that pours when a holy priest is administering the sacrament.

My grace will pour copiously and they will feast on My life flowing through the sacraments.

R. Oh, fountain of life that flows upon the people. Give them the grace to consecrate their hearts to Thee. And there will be one flock and one Shepherd.

Jesus: They will be one in Our Hearts and feasting on the Bread of Life with the greatest fervor and love.

R. Oh, Holy Mother, the Church, we long for the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart. There will be holy, holy priests and His Heart will reign in all hearts of both priests and people and the world will know the fire of His love.

It will spread like wild fire across the earth and souls will be filled with love and His life.

  

The Birth of the Full Ministries of the Shepherds of Christ

"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ Movement:

'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'

Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

Sorrowful Mysteries

This is to help create love of Jesus in the hearts.

The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Jesus sweat blood in the Garden.

2. R. He saw before Him all the sins, of
    all men from all time.

3. R. We can think so many things that
    are not thanking God for all He does
    for us and give into satan who
    wants our thoughts to be
    selfish and ungrateful.

4. Jesus: I have given to you so many gifts,
    how few live in a heart full
    of love and gratitude for their
    blessings from Me.

5. Jesus: How few men focus on following
    in My footprints and living to love
    My Father's will.

6. Jesus: My Father is so good to you and
    He blesses you for doing His
    will – He outpours His grace
    to those who live to serve Him –
    It is far better to do the Father's
    will, than to argue and fight
    in combat with your brothers.

7. Jesus: Some men just live their lives
    trying to be in control –
    they don't listen or surrender
    or learn to follow –
    they get satisfaction in doing
    things according to their wills
    which are opposing My Father's will.
    They want people to follow their
    lead and they do what they want.
    Life is lived here to learn to follow
    the Father's will – in love – to
    surrender to God and to be
    the little child of the Father.

8. Jesus: Do you follow God's plan for you
    today, as you live God's will or
    you have everything in
    your control, so you try to
    force everybody to follow you,
    and your god is yourself.

9. Jesus: I sweat blood for those who
    fool themselves with their
    control of their will –
    Have you learned the message of
        the Garden
    "Not My will, but Thine be done."

10. Jesus: Judas was independent –
    He betrayed Me.
    He even left the room to betray Me –
    The man with his own plan - keeps
        secrets and he tries to force
        others to do his will.
    I give you your lives to live in
        your vocation, with a pure
        heart.
    By the sweat of your brow
        you will earn your bread.
    The world's picture is not like Mine.
    Does the world focus on the health of
        the soul?
    How you live by the Father's will?
    More and more focus on life here below,
    health issues and not the
    life here after.
    What is your god?
     

Luke 22: 41-44

Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away, and knelt down and prayed. ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’ Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength. In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.

    

Jesus: Peter, James and John slept –

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Mark 14: 43-46

And at once, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up and with him a number of men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the traitor had arranged a signal with them saying, ‘The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him, and see he is well guarded when you lead him away.’ So when the traitor came, he went up to Jesus at once and said, 'Rabbi!' and kissed him. The others seized him and arrested him.
 

2. Jesus: Judas kissed Me –
    Judas betrayed Me with a
        kiss.

3. R. Peter denied Jesus.

4. John 18: 33-38

    So Pilate went back into the Praetorium and called Jesus to him and asked him, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Jesus replied, ‘Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others said it to you about me?’ Pilate answered, ‘Am I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you over to me: what have you done?’ Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’ ‘Truth?’ said Pilate. ‘What is that?’ And so saying he went out again to the Jews and said, ‘I find no case against him.
   

5. R. They chose Barabbas over Jesus.
    How many times we choose our
    false gods over Jesus?
    How many times we know what
        is God's will for us in our
        vocation and we act in
        angry ways to force our
        will and stop the way God
        is calling us to help in what
        is needed.
    We want to lead and have the
        idea and get away with
        our plan being implemented
        and others following us –

6. R. We want our 'freedom' to do what we
    want, but it isn't freedom at
    at –
    Look at Jesus scourged at the
        pillar doing His Father's will.

Jesus: Some want everything in their
    plan, I ask for the help that
    is needed and they will do
    exactly what they want and
    ignore Me – like I didn't
    ask at all.

They only hear what satan
    suggests to them to be
    in charge, to really rebel
    against My telling them
    the will of God for them –

They never learned surrender to God's
    will –
    They get better at controlling
    their time and blocking
    their calling in their
    vocation from God.

Freedom to them means they
    are free to oppose God's
    will for them – it is
    so twisted.

Satan works for years in trying
    to get a man to demand
    independence and what
    they are growing in is
    being independent of
    God's Plan for them –

They are not in one mind and one heart
    with Me and those they need to
    work with in love for the building
    of the Kingdom.

I call you to important works, to solve
    problems, to communicate with
    those I called you to work with,
    to obey authority, to seek and love
    the Father's will in your vocation.

Satan calls you to independence
    of God's will – like Eve in the
    Garden.

And I sweat blood for your
    independent ways, fighting
    what you know in your heart and
    hurting the Plan, I have called you
    to serve in your life, the Plan
    of the Heavenly Father.

Satan is the father of lies –

Satan wants you to grow in
    your distorted thinking and
    distorted vision.

Satan wants you to be independent,
    do what you want –
    fight unity –
    put yourself on the throne.
 

      First Commandment

        1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
 

7. Jesus: I was whipped all over for your
        fighting and your independence.
    I have called you to work with each
        others.
    I have called you to seek the Father's
        will for you.
    You can oppose Me your whole
        life becoming –
        more and more independent of
        God's Plan and
        focusing on yourself, blocking
        the calling I have given you
        and being a block, a kink
        in the hose for those living
        in suffering with your
        foolish ways of independence.

8. Jesus: I was whipped for how you grew
    to force your will on others so
    you could implement your
    plan of independence.

9. Jesus: I am love, My flesh was torn,
    My body bloodied, My back
    whipped raw –
    because I gave and
    I gave and
    I obeyed God's will and
    I surrendered and
    I loved and
    You worry who betrayed you –
        how have you betrayed Me
        in your vocation –

10. Jesus: Hard in heart –
    If you lived your life learning
        to be independent and hard of
        heart and selfish and in
        control –
    You have not followed Me –

    I am Jesus –

    This Mission is to teach people
        to seek God's will –
        to surrender to God's will –
        to be open - not secretive
            and controlling and
            closed in on themselves.

    To work to solve a problem in love,
        not to be stiff and not communicate
        and to oppose the will of your
        Heavenly Father for your
        independence.
 


 

    Jesus: The Shepherds of Christ is to consecrate your hearts
        to Our Two Hearts –
        That means surrender to God –
        That means living God's will –
        That means working in God's Plan
        That means working with those I
            called you to work with
            in one mind and one heart –

    Being in one mind and one
        heart in the will
        of the Father!

    Are you learning to be more and more in
        the image of the
        Son of God?

    Are you learning to be more and
        more independent,
        arguing, rebelling against
        God's will, controlling,
        lying, divided, not
        in one mind and one heart
        with My vision –

    'to act like the son of satan'?

    I am meek and gentle in heart.
    I am pure in My Heart –

    Are your intentions of your heart
        pure or tainted?

    Distorted vision?
    Selfish?

    How is your interior disposition?

    Is your life a sacrifice (an offering)
        united to the Holy Sacrifice
        of the Mass?

    How are you in your life?

     

 

R. ADAM & EVE – DISORDERED

NEW ADAM – JESUS and NEW EVE – MARY

    Perfect obedience to the Father's will –

 

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Jesus: I was crowned for your sins of pride,
    your division against your brothers,
    your disobedience to authority.

2. Jesus: They pounded into My Precious Head –
    thorns, that you put there with
    your independence to My Father's will,
    your pride,
    your blocking God's will in the vocation
        you were to serve God and
        help build My Kingdom.

3. Jesus: Judas sold Me for 30 pieces of silver –
    Why have you disobeyed God's will
        for the god you serve in
        your life – independence,
        control, pride, anger,
        lust, affections, power,
        wealth –

4. Jesus: I was whipped and crowned for your
        sins.

5. Jesus: They pounded My Head with thorns
        and instruments for your
        rebellion in sin against My
        Father's will –
    I called you to obedience, to love,
        to a kind and gentle heart –
        Many are stiff and angry and
        closed in going down the wrong tracks.

6. Jesus: Do you even take an examination of
        conscience to see how you have
        deviated from My Father's Plan,
        how you have fought others
        for your control and lack of
        necessary communication?

    How do you examine your conscience
        twice a day and see how you
        have disobeyed the Father's
        will?

7. Jesus: Examining your conscience is a major
        aspect of the spiritual life –
        Fr. Carter examined his conscience
        twice a day –

    Are you in one mind and one heart with
        My Heart and the Heart of My Mother –
        Are you in one mind and one heart
            with Me –
        Is your god your control –
            your independence –
            Your will opposed to Mine for
                unity and love and
            building up the family of My Father
                under God.

8.Jesus:  Death / Resurrection
    Dying to self-will and
    Rising in obedience to the will of
        God the Father.

    Delivery from the slavery of the
        wounded - human nature's
        tendencies and living in
        virtue –

9. Jesus: Mary is the Perfect Handmaid of the Lord –
    Mary loved the Father's will
    Mary was the little daughter of My Father –

10. Jesus: I call you to surrender
        to give your heart to My Heart and
        to the heart of My Mother –
 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross

1. Jesus Is Condemned to Death 

Jesus:  My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and, through this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I love you!
  

2. They Give Jesus the Cross

Jesus:  They gave Me a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I felt as if My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little crosses, to experience little pains. I could not remove this cross from My shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through My suffering and death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day that you will grow in your life with Me. Oh, child, I loved you so much that I took up the cross of salvation. I love you. Please realize that I am talking to you here. To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you!

 

 

2. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues

3. Jesus Falls the First Time

Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up.

When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day I carried My cross. I wait with the same love that I had for you when I carried this cross and suffered such agony. Oh, how I love you!
  

4. Jesus and Mary Meet

Jesus: I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.

Mary: As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!
  

3. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues

5. Simon of Cyrene Is Forced to Help Jesus Carry His Cross

Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.

 

6. Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Jesus: My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!
  

 

4. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues

7. Jesus Falls the Second Time

Jesus: Oh, dear ones, the road became harder and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and weaker. My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as I walked. The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men! My greatest agony was not the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My heart for the love I have for all My precious souls. I loved them so dearly. I loved those who persecuted Me. Oh, how I love you!
  

8. Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem

Jesus: The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!
  

 

5. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues

9. Jesus Falls the Third Time

Jesus: I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle. Your strength will come from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for you this day. Oh, how I love you!

 

6. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues

 

10. Jesus Is Stripped of His Garments

Jesus: They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you!

11. They Nail Him to the Cross

R. See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.

Mary: Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.

Jesus: They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!

12. Jesus Dies on the Cross

(Silence.)

R. He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul.

Jesus: I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give you Myself! What more do you want?

Song: Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.

R. They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist. His life, death and resurrection live on in the Church this day.

 

9. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues
  

13. Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross and Placed in the Arms of His Mother

R. His totally lifeless body was placed in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love.

Mary: I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!

 

                10. February 22, 1995 -- Stations of the Cross continues


14. Jesus Is Locked in the Tomb

R. His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much!

 

 

The Crucifixion

1. 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

 

2. Excerpt from April 17, 2014

Jesus: Only in love, Rooted in God, Living by the Father's will, will things change as God the Father created the world to be.

Mary: There will be the Reign of the Sacred Heart and Triumph of my Immaculate Heart.

Ignore me no longer.

I deliver a message from your Heavenly Father in these messages.

You have so many false gods.

Do you see Solomon and the destruction?

He worshipped the false gods in the end.

He built temples to gods to please his wives.

He was called by God to be wise and faithful to the one true God.

Oh my children how you have strayed, you have offended your God.

Mary’s message from the rosary of August 27, 1996 (4 months before Mary appeared in Clearwater).

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
           
        4. Excerpt from Introduction of Blue Book 11

November 21, 2013

Jesus: I call you to live your lives as devout members of the mystical body of Christ. I have given these writings that men will realize that they are to live united deeply to the Mass going on around the world. Your lives, given as an offering, a sacrifice every moment in union with the Mass going on around the world. Your life, a sacrifice, offered to the Father, in union with the Mass in oneness with Me, in the Holy Spirit through the intercession of the Blessed Mother with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.

Your lives given as members of My mystical body can help to bring down great graces for the priest, the Church and the world.
 

Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

“How does the Christian help Christ redeem the world? (Henceforth the term “world” is to be understood as including both rational and nonrational creation.) As previously stated, the Christian helps Christ redeem the world by reliving Christ’s mysteries. The same “events” or mysteries which accomplished the objective redemption further the subjective redemption also. Since at the heart of Christ’s mysteries are His death and Resurrection, it is especially these that the Christian must relive. As the Christian dies mystically with Christ through loving conformity with the Father’s will, he rises with Christ to an ever greater share in the Resurrection, in the newness of life, in the life of grace. As the Christian in this manner relives the paschal mystery of Christ, he is accomplishing not only his own redemption, but he is also, in a mysterious yet real manner, helping Christ redeem the world.”

            Excerpt from February 12, 2014

                Jesus: I call you to live more fully your life in Me.

                To come to the banquet of the Lamb.

 

                April 17, 2014 continues

                R. God calls us to live the life, death and resurrection
                    of Jesus.

                    We can boast of following Jesus, but that means
                    we die and rise in Him.

                What a gift life is.

                God gives us a sharing in His life in Baptism.
   


 

1 Corinthians 11: 23-26

    For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ And in the same way, with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.’ Whenever you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the Lord’s death until he comes.

 

        6. Excerpt from January 5, 1996 Rosary

The Crucifixion

1. R. They pounded into Jesus’ hands sharp nails and Jesus’ feet were nailed to the cross. Jesus’ head was crowned with thorns. These are the wounds He suffered for love of us. Nails that went all the way through His hands and His feet! We whimper and complain about the little sufferings that we have in our life – He shows us His hands and His feet!

2. R. Jesus’ way is love. Jesus’ way is sacrifice. Jesus sacrificed Himself for love of us. It is in every Mass that we unite in this oneness. We suffer - we identify this with His suffering. We unite in the Mass the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. We mystically mount the cross with Him, as we climb with Jesus on the cross and spread our arms and offer ourselves as a sacrifice to the Father. The Father is most pleased. As we die to ourselves in the ways that are not like God, as we give our all to be as the Father intended us to be - that is when the Father is most pleased. In the sacrifice, we are united in deepest love with Him. In Communion, He gives Himself to us in this act of most intimate love, Jesus cries out for us to give ourselves to Him. This is a deep act of intimate love. In the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him, this is a most intimate act of love for Divinity is united with us and it is at this time when He gives Himself to us that we receive such abundant graces.

7. Excerpt from January 5, 1996 Rosary continues

3. R. Death/Resurrection - that permeates our lives as we die each day in our struggles and we rise to new life. As we go to each Mass and we die with Him on the cross and we receive the bread of life, the true bread come down from heaven. He gives this bread to us and we share in His Divine life!

4. Jesus: Are you hungry? What do you use to feed yourstarved souls?

Song: I Am the Bread of Life

R. The most intimate act of love – the Holy Eucharist. God gave Himself on the cross and He gives Himself, in His Divinity and humanity, in the Eucharist to us. In order to unite in the intimate act of love between us and God, we must surrender and give ourselves to Him. This is the most intimate act of love, this is what the starved soul craves, intimacy with God. It is that for which we were created. We were created to know, love and serve God. Nothing on the face of this earth will satisfy this craving in our soul.

8. Excerpt from January 5, 1996 Rosary continues

5. Jesus: What do you use to feed your starved soul? What pleasures that are momentary? All things must be rooted in Me – rooted deeply in Me.

6. R. The Mass is the most perfect sacrifice offered to the Father. In uniting ourselves in oneness, we die with Him that we may rise in Him. Jesus is the Bread of Life and He gives us Himself to eat, to feed us. Bread and wine – that which nourishes our body is changed into His Body and Blood to nourish our souls. Nothing on the face of this earth feeds the starved soul but the love of God.

9. Excerpt from January 5, 1996 Rosary continues

7. R. In the Mass we unite to the sacrifice of Jesus. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present in theMass. We want to be united in deep union with Him in the Holy Eucharist. The Father wants this. Let us be a holy sacrifice for it is most pleasing to the Father for us to unite to Jesus in the Mass. Every word in the Mass is so beautiful. It is God’s great love given to us – Jesus gives Himself intimately to us in the Holy Eucharist. Let us at this time help make reparation to God for the indifference and injustice committed against Jesus’ Heart, and help make reparation for the blasphemies against His Mother’s heart.

8. R. On First Friday and First Saturday, They want so much for us to help make reparation to Their Hearts for the injustices done to God and to the Mother of God. We comfort Their Hearts with deep acts of love. This rosary is said on the 5th of the month in honor of the blasphemies against the Blessed Virgin, against her Motherhood, her Virginity, and against her Immaculate Conception, and for the five wounds of Jesus.

10. Excerpt from January 5, 1996 Rosary continues

9. R. What flowed forth from His pierced Heart was blood and water; water, a symbol of Baptism. We are made sharers in His Divine life. Blood, a symbol of the Eucharist whereby our hungry souls are fed with His Body and Blood. As we see at Mass the priest raises up the Host and says “This is My Body”. The priest raises the chalice and says, “This is My Blood.” It is here Jesus says to us, I give you Myself. How can you walk around with such irreverence? You are My chosen ones that will carry this message to the world and I am giving you such graces to be so close to Me, so that you will carry the message of love to others who want to love more in the deepest, deepest way. I give you love from the deepest recesses of My Heart! Come through this wound and you will know My Divine life, My Divine love. You will know My Heart. I give you Myself.

Song: A Song from Jesus

Song: Take and Eat

R. This is the mystery of God’s love, the mystery that was hidden until Jesus came to this world and it is revealed through Jesus Christ, His Son and He gives Himself to us in the moment when we receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. He reveals deep insights into the mystery of God’s love. It is a grace given by God to those that He chooses. Let us treat Him with the deepest reverence and thank Him over and over again for the grace to share this deep intimacy with Him!
