                Purpose

                    conquest of self
                    not under influence of
                        inordinate attachments

                        (St. Ignatius)



                What is in you?

                    Harmony                Disharmony
                    Joy                        Unhappiness


                What is familiar —

                    Conflict
                    Unsettled home
                    Division

                    Harmony
                    Love
                    Peace
                    Will of the Father


                    LIGHT                DARKNESS
                    OBEDIENCE      REBELLION


                    ACCORD            DISCORD


                A man had an old pair of shoes
                    and he loved them — they had
                    a hole in the sole of the
                    shoe — He would put cardboard
                    on the hole
                    Fresh Cardboard everyday


                Down the street was a shoe repair
                He didn't care — he left the hole
                    in his shoe

                Eventually his foot became
                    calloused because his
                    cardboard would wear out
                    most days


                You say why didn't he just
                    get his sole fixed —
                    he said "I don't want to,
                    I am used it it."


                Putting on your Sunday dress
                    when others were dressing for
                    a day of Sunday fun —
                        first Mass —
                        usually a picnic —
                        playing outside as a family

                Mary Lou dressed for her Sunday with
                    armor —
                    Dad and mom fought sometimes
                        on Saturday
                        Dad always drank a lot of alcohol

                On Sunday he had a hang-over and,
                    he was not nice to anybody

                While Mary Ann played in the park —
                    went to a picnic, played ball
                    with her brothers

                Mary Lou had to hide in the house on
                    Sunday or dad would start
                    hollering at her


                Sunday dresses — what does your
                    dress at home, on vocations
                    look like?


                When people are working they can
                    focus on work, school, being
                    focused on something —

                    What happens when they
                are left with no activity like
                work —

                    What do they do at meals?

                    Meals can be times of great
                joy for some — the family got
                together and laughed and
                everybody just had a chance —
                eat good food and be their selves

 

                Joe Reports

                    Dad never ate with the family,
                he came and criticized and
                stood over with a glass of
                whiskey —

                    Everybody in Sue's family
                ate alone — they didn't talk
                much — they looked all isolated
                and did their own thing.

                    Cathy said her mom always
                found something wrong with her
                at meal times — where other friends
                were having fun — she really
                suffered.

                Little children can grow and
                learn to relate in homes of
                love — unselfishness, but if
                homes are dysfunctional while
                others are learning love and
                forgiveness — some may be struggling
                to survive the latest attack

                    What is in you?

                    If left alone — will you
                begin to think provoking thoughts
                about others —

                    Is division a way of life —
                Do you feel unsettled inside
                so therefore - you always
                have to have a fight going
                with somebody who violated
                you — to act out your divided
                ways.

                    Remember shaped cake pans
                like one could be shaped like
                a heart, another a 3 petaled
                clover — . . .

                    If a mom and little girl wanted
                to bake a cake for dad for
                Valentine's day they could get
                out the heart shaped pan and
                pour in the batter and
                what came out of oven was
                a heart shaped cake —

                    Well life is like that mom
                and dad — mix our batter and
                pour us into the Ring, Jones,
                Smith bake pan and what comes
                out after 15 years is a Ring,
                a Smith, a Jones.

                    Now we are taught as children —
                In today's world over 1/2 may come
                from divorced families —

                    Where Sue lived with the
                same parents

                    Abigail's mom got divorced
                2 times — she was always being
                moved around on birthdays and
                holidays so they became times of
                great trial —

                    her parents — 3 sets didn't
                act like they were angry, but
                they were real angry inside —
                so she knew that stone face —
                ready to rage at something
                else attitude

                    Her mom picked on her when
                she was mad inside and really
                had 3 husbands that never settled
                down with.

                    Poor Abigail —

                    Poor children who - when they
                needed security were made like
                a rag doll being pulled by
                the arms as mom went off
                on dates, business trips and
                they were left stuffing their
                real feelings —

                    When John was 10 his dad
                committed suicide —

                    Michael at 16 lost his dad —

                    Carol lost her mom at 5 and
                for her — her searching for love
                never ended —

                    She never really realized it
                was that loss — the abandonment
                she knew made her cling to
                everybody when they came in
                and out of doors in her life —

                    Now you say what are we
                to do —

                We are all wounded if we recognize
                this instead of lying — we are
                open to change and living in
                harmony.

                Remember 1 John — where it says

   

1 John 2: 12-17

I am writing to you, children, 
because your sins have been forgiven 
    through his name. 
I am writing to you, fathers, 
because you have come to know 
    the One who has existed 
        since the beginning. 
I am writing to you, young people, 
because you have overcome the Evil One. 
I have written to you, children, 
because you have come to know 
    the Father. 
I have written to you, parents, 
because you have come to know 
    the One who has existed 
        since the beginning. 
I have written to you, young people, 
because you are strong, 
and God’s word remains in you, 
and you have overcome the Evil One. 
Do not love the world 
or what is in the world. 
If anyone does love the world, 
the love of the Father 
    finds no place in him, 
because everything there is
    in the world—
disordered bodily desires,
disordered desires of the eyes,
pride in possession—
is not from the Father
but is from the world.
And the world,
    with all its disordered desires,
is passing away.
But whoever does the will of God 
remains for ever.

 

1 John 3: 7-10

Children, do not let anyone
    lead you astray.
Whoever acts uprightly is upright,
just as he is upright.
Whoever lives sinfully 
    belongs to the devil, 
since the devil has been a sinner 
    from the beginning. 
This was the purpose 
    of the appearing of the Son of God, 
to undo the work of the devil. 
No one who is a child of God sins 
because God’s seed remains in him. 
Nor can he sin, 
    because he is a child of God. 
This is what distinguishes 
the children of God 
    from the children of the devil: 
whoever does not live uprightly 
and does not love his brother 
is not from God.

 

1 John 3: 11-18

This is the message 
which you heard from the beginning, 
that we must love one another, 
not to be like Cain, 
   
who was from the Evil One 
and murdered his brother. 
And why did he murder his brother? 
Because his own actions were evil 
    and his brother’s upright. 
Do not be surprised, brothers, 
if the world hates you. 
We are well aware 
    that we have passed over 
        from death to life 
because we love our brothers. 
Whoever does not love, remains in death. 
Anyone who hates his brother 
    is a murderer, 
and you are well aware that no murderer 
has eternal life remaining in him. 
This is the proof of love, 
that he laid down his life for us, 
and we too ought to lay down our lives 
    for our brothers. 
If anyone is well–off 
    in worldly possessions 
and sees his brother in need 
but closes his heart to him, 
how can the love of God 
    be remaining in him? 
Children, 
our love must be not just words 
    or mere talk, 
but something active and genuine.

 

1 John 3: 19-24

This will be the proof 
    that we belong to the truth, 
and it will convince us in his presence, 
even if our own feelings condemn us, 
that God is greater than our feelings 
    and knows all things. 
My dear friends, 
if our own feelings do not condemn us, 
we can be fearless before God,  

and whatever we ask
we shall receive from him,
because we keep his commandments
and do what is acceptable to him.
His commandment is this,
that we should believe
    in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and that we should love one another
as he commanded us.
Whoever keeps his commandments
remains in God, and God in him.
And this is the proof
    that he remains in us:
the Spirit that he has given us.

   

1 John 4: 1-6

My dear friends,
not every spirit is to be trusted,
but test the spirits
   to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets
   are at large in the world.
This is the proof of the spirit of God:
any spirit
   which acknowledges Jesus Christ,
      come in human nature,
is from God,
and no spirit
   which fails to acknowledge Jesus
is from God;
it is the spirit of Antichrist,
whose coming you have heard of;
he is already at large in the world.
Children, you are from God
and have overcome them,
because he who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world.
They are from the world,
and therefore the world
   inspires what they say,
and listens to them.
We are from God;
whoever recognises God listens to us;
anyone who is not from God
   refuses to listen to us.
This is how we can distinguish
the spirit of truth
   from the spirit of falsehood.

      

                    Mary (Blessed Mother) told me to do the rosary
                by candle light with my children
                in a room with no lights so
                I would not focus on the clutter.

                    Now lets look at a room
                with no windows — lights out and
                we are trying to walk across
                a crowded floor —

                    We can bump furniture,
                old things on the floor and then
                we don't even know what
                is in our way.

                    God is light, in Him there
                is no darkness. Jesus wants
                us to be children of the light
                we were created in His
                image and likeness.

                    We had imperfect relationships —
                we were home —grown with
                parents in a little family
                Ring, Jones, Smith —

                    To think our ancestors and
                our parents did not teach us
                some bad ways to relation is
                not to live in the truth.
                Besides our own wounded human
                nature that tends toward
                jealousy, lust, anger, pride,
                seeking of dominance for
                dominance sake —

                    Fr. John says that grace helps
                heal the wounded human
                nature.

                    Jesus gives us the Blue Books,
                the Mighty Medicine —

                When one is baptized they receive
                such a gift — We, us, in the
                Shepherds of Christ were baptized in the
                Catholic Faith — we are
                branches of the vine —
                stretching across the earth
                rooted in Him. We as members
                of the body of Christ — living
                more and more saturated with
                His grace can be greater
                and greater children of light
                in the world.

                    When we, baptized Catholics,
                are filled with God's grace — we
                have the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling
                in us abundantly.

                    We go to Mary's Immaculate
                Heart and beg for purity —

                    We struggle, we suffer,
                we don't give into jealousy,
                lust, anger, pride, envy —
                if we do — we open a door to
                satan acting in our tainted
                ways.

                    Mary carried the LIGHT of
                the world in her womb

                    Mary was sinless
                    Mary struggled with problems
                    Mary suffered
                    Mary did not act jealously
                    Mary did not act full of envy
                    Mary did not act pridefully
                                                ETC. —

                When I want an answer to anything
                    in my life I say

                What is God's will?

                Is it God's will we are disharmonious,
                    ready to pick a fight —
                    try to prove we are right when we
                    acted very taintedly and hurt
                    the community, others.

                Is it God's will we put on our
                    Sunday dress from the Smith
                    house that means we isolate
                    when we should be communal.

                    Do we pick a fight to rule the
                house, so we can be in control,
                when it isn't our place to
                do so.

                    Look into the eyes
                    Look into the hearts
                    Look at Mary

                    Why are we surrounded
                        by images of Mary and
                        yet seek dominance
                        for our own personal
                        gain
                   
                    Seek a fight because since
                    we remember —
                    we feel comfortable in
                        conflict —

                    So we start some


                I want harmony
                I was called to talk about it
                This is a writing Jesus gave
                    me
                I am a messenger to help the
                    world to be more harmonious —
                There is not envy, anger, lust
                    jealousy in heaven


                Everybody wants the Father's Plan —
                We must want the Father's will
                In this lies our peace
                God wants us to love
                God wants us to spread His light


                A person, by habit or from being
                    in a negative house, was
                    always negative —
                    looking at others —
                    judging and
                    saying provoking criticizing
                        things that made themselves
                        higher —

                    Many things were so mean


                Their child was the same way —
                    just learning to talk


                Another person explained things
                    to the children —
                    they played with each other
                        in harmony —
                    they loved

                The Prayer for Union talks
                    about the self

  

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

   

                The Blue Books talk about the
                    self —

                The devil attacks
                    he wants you focused on
                        yourself.

                When I handle problems with
                    people under me —
                    they are focused on themselves —
                    satan can have them in a grip
                    they have some unmet need
                        from many times child-
                        hood - they want the pain
                        inside to stop

                they blame some innocent
                    other for pain and disharmony
                    in them —


                praying for a grace
                opening the Blue Book
                saying the Prayer for Union
                can get them out of that focus
                    on self


                A person being gripped by satan
                    and giving in has lost the
                    focus on the big picture —

                What God wants
                Their purpose
                Their unmet need can be
                    proving they are right —
                        others are wrong —
                        for days —
                        this becomes their god —

                Some can act pouty like a child —
                Some can act passive-aggressive —

                    which means —
                    I don't intend to do what
                        You ask —
                        I will test you trying
                            to get you to get mad and
                            give up

21.                     SPIRITUAL EXERCISES

    Which have as their purpose the conquest of self
    and the regulation of one's life in such a way that
    no decision is made under the influence of any
    inordinate attachment

   

                The world says

                    "me"

                    "me"

                    "me"

                    "my truth - I can make my own
                        truth"

                Jesus says —

                    the commandments
                    My Word
                    the Church
                    Regulation of self

Doing His Will

May 7, 1994

R. Doing His Will is doing His Will. He is another person. His Will is not necessarily my will, but, if I do His Will, it is how my life is in harmony with God and works out. Doing His Will causes me little problems. In the end, I have peace of mind. Maybe a struggle, maybe suffering, maybe persecution, but I have peace in that I am pleasing God.

God Does Not Operate as Humans Operate

May 8, 1994

R. God does not operate on your schedule. You ring, you get an answer. God's way is the way of faith. He operates in the inner promptings of your heart. He gives you His answers here.

How do you develop faith and trust when you expect God to give you answers like humans? Your faith and trust in God is what develops over time. I cannot demand that God give me an answer when I want one. Do I think I can control God too?

God does not work this way. If I do not develop faith and trust, what will I do when things are so bad? Do I think He will constantly appear and reassure me? He does not work this way with me or most of the world.

A Face of Peace Reflects A Heart of Love

May 8, 1994

Jesus: How is your face, dear one? Are you anxious inside? Then your face is a reflection of your inner being. In all you do, pray to let go, pray to love. A heart that is full of love has a face that is full of peace.

Why fret and fume when I am tending to you personally? I walk by your side, sweet one. Let go and let Me do what you need done. Quit worrying. You spend your life wasting precious valuable time. Oh, sweet one, let go, let go. Please shine to the world. Let your face be the light in the dark world. Spend time alone with Me in silence. Do not think. Let My peace fill your soul. Let Me operate in your heart.

Your face, your tone of voice, your body movements, reflect the person within. If you are pulled tight inside, you will give a tight person to this world. Concentrate on showing peace in your being. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives you peace, but real peace that warms a troubled soul.

I am your beloved Jesus. I pour My love into your heart. Come in silence and experience My peace. Let go, child. Peace be to you. I love you!

From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
                by Louis J. Puhl, S.J.  p. 12                     

            23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION

                                    Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God 
                                     our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

                Say Holy Spirit Novena

                    In the days we have here we
                cannot forget every moment as being
                part of God's plan for us.

                    Jesus was on this earth 33 years
                but most of His life was private.
                In that time He lived and much
                more was accomplished than we know
                and can understand.

                    If we had our way, Fr. Carter said,
                we probably would have made His
                public life much longer.

                    God's ways may not be our ways
                at all. God works in suffering to
                bring us to greater life in Him.
                Every moment of our lives is part
                of God's plan.

                    God wanted us to be. God created
                us. God gave us talents to do His
                work. We are to live harmoniously
                with God's plan — live by His design.

                    He gave us the parents we have —
                He gave us brown or blond hair —
                blue, green, brown eyes and He
                wants us to use our gifts for His
                purpose.

                    God wants souls to go to heaven. Jesus
                died for each precious soul.

                    When nights may be long in a
                dark night of the soul — God hovers
                near us helping us to grow more
                deeply like He wants if we stay
                in there — loving him and staying
                rooted in Him.

                    God created us with these precious
                unique talents, but He wants us being
                one in this mission in the Shepherds of Christ
                praying for the priests, the Church and
                the world (starting prayer chapters)
                and spreading the Priestly Newsletter.

                    We spread rosaries and consecration
                cards to school children all over the
                US.

                    Look at the gifts of the Shepherds of Christ
                for the world. God wants us to love
                Him and say thanks.

                    Sing:  Give Thanks and Remember

                    Sing:  We Have Been Told

                    Now satan wants souls for hell —
                Satan wants people to do evil things

91. THE CALL OF AN EARTHLY KING

    This will help us to contemplate the life of the
    eternal king

Prayer. The preparatory prayer will be as usual.

First Prelude.  This is a mental representation of the
place. Here it will be to see in imagination the
synagogues, villages, and towns where Christ our
Lord preached.

Second Prelude.  I will ask for the grace I desire.
Here it will be to ask of our Lord the grace not to be
deaf to His call, but prompt and diligent to accomplish
His most holy will.

                            FIRST PART

92. First Point.  This will be to place before my mind
a human king, chosen by God our Lord Himself, to
whom all Christian princes and people pay homage
and obedience.

93. Second Point.  This will be to consider the address
this king makes to all his subjects, with the words: "It
is my will to conquer all the lands of the infidel. There-
fore, whoever wishes to join with me in this enterprise
must be content with the same food, drink, clothing,
etc. as mine. So, too, he must work with me by day,
and watch with me by night, etc., that as he has had a
share in the toil with me, afterwards, he may share in
the victory with me."

94. Third Point.  Consider what the answer of good
subjects ought to be to a king so generous and noble-
minded, and consequently, if anyone would refuse the
invitation of such a king, how justly he would deserve
to be condemned by the whole world, and looked upon
as a ignoble knight.

                            SECOND PART

95. The second part of this exercise will consist in applying
the example of the earthly king mentioned above
to Christ our Lord according to the following points:

First Point.  If such a summons of an earthly king to
his subjects deserves our attention, how much more
worthy of consideration is Christ our Lord, the Eternal
King, before whom is assembled the whole world. To
all His summons goes forth, and to each one in
particular He addresses the words: "It is my will to
conquer the whole world and all my enemies, and thus to
enter into the glory of my Father. Therefore, whoever
wishes to join me in this enterprise must be willing to
labor with me, that by following me in suffering, he
may follow me in glory."

96.  Second Point.  Consider that all persons who have
judgment and reason will offer themselves entirely for
this work.

97.  Third Point.  Those who wish to give greater
proof of their love, and to distinguish themselves in
whatever concerns the service of the eternal King and
the Lord of all, will not only offer themselves entirely
for the work, but will act against their sensuality and
carnal and worldly love, and make offerings of greater
value and of more importance in words such as these:

          98.  ETERNAL LORD OF ALL THINGS

            Eternal Lord of all things, in the presence of Thy
            infinite goodness, and of Thy glorious mother, and
            of all the saints of Thy heavenly court, this is the
            offering of myself which I make with Thy favor
            and help. I protest that it is my earnest desire and
            my deliberate choice, provided only it is for Thy
            greater service and praise, to imitate Thee in bear-
            ing all wrongs and all abuse and all poverty, both
            actual and spiritual, should Thy most holy majesty
            deign to choose and admit me to such a state and
            way of life

   

                This reminds me of Fr. John's Authenticity
                book.

                    This is such a holy book of
                prayers to lead people into deeper
                love with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
                and Mary.

                    It is on disc (DVD) as I read it on
                the ocean. We spread it to over
                16,000 pope, cardinals, archbishops, bishops,
                and priests. Helping to make the Church
                pray for greater intimacy with God.

 

                    A man was dying and Fr. John went
                to give him the last rites. When
                Fr. John went the man's wife said
                the man had it by his side reading
                the prayers.

 

 

                    Fr. John thought he read
                it a little. When he saw the book
                the man had been clutching it in
                his last times on this earth and marked
                3 prayers with paper clips — They read
                these for the eulogy.

 

Getting Through Dark Nights

O Jesus, when the clouds of darkness fall upon me grant me
the gifts to persevere in patience, trust, and humility.

Grant me the gift to keep my eyes focused on You and Your
Cross,

the gift of a docile spirit where I am open, despite my
difficulties and discomforts,

to follow You with the understanding that You are the God
who controls history,

that You are the God who in Your providence will make all
things “alright.”

Grant me a will so empowered with faith that I
may conquer the difficulties and darknesses of life.

 

            A Bishop translated the book
        in Arabic and asked Fr. John if
        he could publish it.

            We are helping the world circulating
        1/2 million Newsletters in less than
        a year of Fr. John J. Pasquini and
        65,000 Books to hierarchy and priests
        to which we received at least 90
        letters from the Vatican.

Isolation

O Lord, help me to fight the temptation to isolate myself.

Grant me the gift to never walk alone in this valley of tears. 

May my friends not abandon me out of fear, but understand
me and support me. 

May they and I realize the need to be needed, the need to
not be left alone. 

May my true friends come to light and become light in my
time of isolation and darkness.

May You, and Your precious Mother, be my companions
along the journey. 

Nourish me with friends, heavenly and earthly.

 

Healing of Memories

O Lord, release my memories.

Open the flood gates.

Bless me with the grace to work through my rational and
irrational feelings.

Eliminate my evasiveness, my facades and make-believe
masks.

Get me out of my negative emotional patterns and
recurring cycles of destruction.

O Great Physician, heal the wounds that torment me, the
abuse, the losses, the overwhelming mental and
emotional pains.

Heal what time cannot heal.

Heal the sensitive spots, emotions, and traumas.

Soothe my damaged body, soul, and spirit.

Console me in Your healing arms.

 

                    We can now make available to
                you 6 Newsletters in a little
                book by Fr. John J. Pasquini.

TAKE, LORD, AND RECEIVE

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, 
my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have 
and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O 
Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly 
according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy 
grace, for this is sufficient for me.

On His Passion

August 23, 1993

Jesus speaks: My dear child,
I was condemned to death, death on a cross. They gave Me a big cross and made Me carry it. They stood around and glared at Me. It weighed on My shoulder and I pulled at it until it finally moved. Every step was almost impossible as I dragged it, weighing so heavily on My shoulders.

My shoulder felt as if the bones inside would crack and the cross would fall through to the ground. I couldn’t drag it any more. I tried, I fell. I fell and its weight fell on Me. A guard hit Me with something sharp. It really hurt because he wanted Me to move, and fast! People were watching — on with the show! How dare I fall in the middle of the show! He hit Me again and the blow really stung Me. I got up because it hurt so badly. I tried to walk on.

My Mother was in the crowd. She looked at Me and her face looked red and hurt. Tears rolled down her cheeks like rain and as her eyes met Mine, I was hurt so by her sorrow! She was always by My side, silent and loving. She was My mother of love! She is always there next to you when you suffer.

I fell again and he (the guard) really hit Me. It (the cross) was so heavy that he and I together could barely move it. It seemed as I walked, heavier with the sins of the world heaped on it. My hands were bleeding. Blood ran from the wounds of My thorns and My head throbbed, seeming to make the wounds in My head bleed even more. Some of the Blood was dried, some of it running all over My Body. I had so many cuts and bruises — and people watched and laughed!

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, and they laughed and mimicked Me! Oh, such hardened hearts! How vile can men’s heart become? The devil’s grip is paralyzing and crippling.

The walk was so long up a hill and over rocks — the cross had to be lifted over the rocks. My Body was bleeding so badly! My heart was pounding. I knew that the salvation of all men depended on My love. Therefore, I went through such agony.

I thought of My intense love for you — that many would go to heaven because of My suffering — and I continued to the top of the hill. At the top they laid Me on the cross and with a big hammer nailed My hands to it. It was the worst (suffering) yet. My hands were nailed with big nails and the big hammer. Oh, it was unbelievable! Then, as if that weren’t enough, with a big nail they nailed through both feet.

Then they lifted the cross and banged it into (a hole in) the ground. My shoulders ached from how I hung. My head bobbed and My neck ached and they laughed and said, "Now save Yourself." I hurt so much! I suffered this way for hours — which seemed like forever — and they glared at Me and laughed! My Mother watched in such agony.

For love of you, to My death I gave you My Body. My child, I shed My Blood and gave you My life that you might be with Me forever in heaven — not for a day, a month or a year, but forever with Me in heaven.

I am the true Bread come down from heaven. He who eats My Flesh will have life forever. For the drink I give you is My Blood and food you eat is My Body. Who would lay down his life for a friend? I did, for you. I love you this much, child. Forget about those who reject you. You have My life that I gave you and I give you life eternal.

I am the One true God. I am the Light of life. He who abides in Me will have life eternal, for the drink I give is My Blood and the food I give is My Body. Drink and eat and have everlasting life.

My child, that is all you need to know. Love one another and be good that you may enter into My kingdom.

Meditate On My Passion

September 26, 1994 - After Communion

Jesus:   My daughter, My eyes were coated with blood from the wounds to My head.  I suffered so for love of you and your brothers and you tell Me you do not want to love your brothers!  There are some who are so hard to love.  I tell you, dear one, look at My wounded face and see how I suffered for love of each soul.

  I ask you to love. It is through your love I will reach those who are suffering and in sin.  Do you want to put on Christ?  I shed My blood and gave My life for your dear brothers. I gave My life that you might have life eternal.

  I ask you to love your brothers as I have loved you. When they persecute you and holler every slander against you, I ask you to follow My lead, I ask you to love, always!

  Pray for the grace to see with the eyes of God.  See your brothers and see Me in them. You are My hands. You are My body. Live My life, meditate on My life in the Rosary.  I loved all to My very death.  This is My way, it is the way of love!  And I come to you this day, My sweet one.  Meditate on My passion.  This is the love I have for each precious soul.

                    God comes and gives us a ride

                the hand — He gives us lunch —
                He watches out for us

                    Sometimes we just won't

                    See Jesus all in white

 

  

                   

December 31, 1994

Jesus Appearing as the Resurrected Lord, All White, Sitting Next to Where Mary Appeared.

So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.

    But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. Romans 6: 4, 9

And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 15: 54 -58

Messenger:  I love my son so dearly, there is such a connection in my heart to him. He is ten years old. I know him in my heart from a little baby, when I carried him in my womb. His whole life is recorded in my memory.

    Mary's heart knew her Son. The anguish at losing Him in the temple, the anguish, how her heart was in such pain, it is inexpressible in words.

    As is the joy, inexpressible for me of the resurrected Lord to appear to me next to the Sorrowful Mother. It is such joy for me to meditate on this mystery to remember the vision, to see Him clothed in white, His body so beautiful. I saw Him so beautiful, sitting all in white next to where Mary appeared triumphant! Jesus rose from the dead. I cannot express this magnificent sight of Jesus in His resurrected beauty as I saw Him.

    Note today December 28, 2005: (I recalled the vision of December 5th, 96 when He appeared to me at the point of death hanging on the cross.)

    Death - Resurrection

    Why do we worry about so many things Jesus is with us. He shows us His death and resurrection.

    God took the nature of a slave, He put on a human body, He was born a baby, He died by crucifixion.

Jesus:  Do not fear, there is fear in your heart, I am with you, surrender totally to the will of the Father.

Messenger:  I see the risen Lord as He sits all in white in a chair, here, next to the Sorrowful Mother. When I saw Jesus in the parking lot He was wearing a white tunic looking like the resurrected Lord with His hands outstretched.

    I want to get in touch with Jesus. He took on a human body, He lived, He died, He rose.

    Jesus is God, He is Lord over all the earth and He took on a human form for greatest love of us. He was born a baby. He was carried in His Mother's womb. Oh Holy dwelling place of God, Mary's womb, Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Sing: Oh Holy Mary

Philippians 2: 7-8

But he emptied himself, 
taking the form of a slave, 
becoming as human beings are; 
and being in every way 
    like a human being, 
he was humbler yet, 
even to accepting death, 
    death on a cross. 

 

Sing the Song of Jesus Christ

Now having met together, they asked him, ‘Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth’s remotest end.’ 

    As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’  Acts 1: 6-11

Messenger:  The Apostles' hearts were in such sorrow to see Jesus go, their eyes in awe to see Jesus go to heaven.

God the Father:  I am pleased, My daughter, with the work you are doing, how I love you, My beloved one.

    Do not focus on yourself, focus on the other, always the other, Jesus focused on the other.

Messenger:  Think of the love of the Trinity — it is a mystery — the love of the Trinity.
       

Excerpt from Response to God's Love Chapter 1   by Father Edward Carter, S.J.

   ...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

  

Messenger:  The more I realize the love of the Triune God, love of Mary, the love of the angels and saints — I am in awe!!

    Jesus takes care of my needs. Why should I talk about myself or anyone else when we could be talking about the mystery of God.

    Why talk about incidentals when I could be talking about God.

    He is Divine, He is who I love, that is it, when people are discussing the napkins, I want to talk about Jesus.

From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter

 

Age of the Two Hearts

Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"

From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter

 

Paschal Journey

Dear Lord,

everyday my life mirrors the mystery which is You.

I laugh, I cry, I rejoice, I suffer.

And at night I slumber, I sleep, I die to the day,

only to awake, to be resurrected, into a new experience.

O Lord, may I always recognize the pattern of Your life in
my life and may I always seek to pattern my life after Yours.

The Sorrowful Mysteries
 

  

The Agony in the Garden

  1. Jesus:  Surrender! Surrender to Me as I surrendered to the Father in the Garden. I said to My Father, "Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine." (Lk 22:42) As you are in your hearts troubled and anxious, I am there ever present to comfort you, to give you My peace. Let go, let go, let go! I am forever with you at every second, at every moment. I do not go! I forever remain in your hearts. Let go! As you live, so do I live in you!

  2. Jesus:  I knelt in the Garden in such agony! I saw before Me all that I would undergo, all the beatings, all the scourging. I knew the Father's Will. I complied with the Father's Will as I ask you to surrender totally to Me. Let go! Focus on Me! Do not focus on those things that are parading in your mind, but release your mind to the mysteries of heaven, to My Passion and My death!

  3. Jesus:  And My faithful ones, who came to comfort Me-they slept!

  4. Jesus:  Indifference! Ingratitude! Neglect! I saw before Me all those who would neglect Me and treat Me with indifference. How My Heart ached with pain to see the souls that I loved so dearly filled with such nonsense!

  5. Jesus:  My Heart, an endless furnace of divine love, of divine life, beating and burning for love of precious souls and they do not see! They have closed their eyes and plugged up their ears and I wait and long to be ever close to them! Spread My love throughout this world. You will be met with resistance on all sides. But I beg you this day to listen to My cry. I cry out to you to stand firm. I am calling you to stand up against the world.

  6. Jesus:  As one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. I cry out to you to go to the highways and byways. Shout from the rooftops that I am Lord and that I am in your midst this day. Prepare Me a way, for I am coming!

  7. Jesus:  I saw before Me all the souls that would be lost to eternal damnation despite all My sufferings. I call out to you this day to harken to My pleading to be about this world spreading My love. There are souls that are at stake, depending upon what you do with your lives. Will you spread My love? Will you be My mouthpiece to this world? I call out to you. You must stand strong and pray to the Spirit for He transforms you from fear to fearlessness. You are My apostles to go into this world and spread the love of My Most Sacred Heart!

  8. Jesus:  As I knelt in the Garden, as I suffered so many agonies in My Heart, I was comforted by the love that you show to Me this day.

  9. Song: O Burning Heart, O Love divine! How sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here, to love and care for me.

  10. Jesus:  The world is blind and deaf! They have plugged up their ears and covered their eyes. You must go into this world. You must stand strong. You have a message of My love to give. I beg you to give this message to the world that is in much pain, that has covered its eyes and plugged up its ears. I beg you to spread this love in every corner of this world this day. You are apostles that I send into this world.

Song between decades: 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.

 

Jesus Is Scourged at the Pillar

  1. Jesus:  The blood that I shed when I was scourged was blood red! My Heart, which beats out of endless love for you, is a Heart that is red, beating with a burning fire for love of you. I call out to you to draw yourselves ever closer to My Heart for I am waiting and longing and thirsting for your love. Let go of the little distractions you have this day that keep you from increased union with Me. Release yourself and be totally alone in deep union with Me. See only Me. Let go. Release yourselves! I am here with You!

  2. Jesus:  Totally focus on Me!

  3. Jesus:  Release yourself from all the distractions in your heart. Be alone in deep union with Me!

  4. Jesus:  Just as I shed My blood for you as they scourged Me, My Heart cries this day in endless love.

  5. Jesus:  See them as they beat Me at the pillar. Hear the blows! This is the love that I have for you. This day will you be alone with Me and totally focus on only Me? Let yourself go. Be in a room where we are together in close union.

  6. Jesus:  And our hearts beat so closely, as one!

  7. Hail Mary ...

  8. Jesus:  See Me at the pillar! See Me as I stand with the deepest love for all souls.

  9. Song: Come unto Me all who are weary and find rest for your souls. Come unto Me, all who are burdened. I will comfort you.
    Jesus:  I am with you in deep union despite the distractions and all that goes on around you. I am so closely connected with you! Your concentration on Me is important to your union with Me. Focus totally on My beating Heart and the love that I have for you. My Heart beat with deep love as I stood at the pillar and bled dark red blood.

  10. Jesus:  It is this blood I shed for you, this blood I gave for you, that I ask you to focus on this day. Think of what it is like to shed your blood for another person. Would you shed your blood for another person? I shed My blood for you. In meditating on this blood that I shed, you will realize more and more the immensity of My love.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love…

  

  

Jesus Is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

  1. Jesus:  I come to talk to you to tell you the desires of My Heart. As people are blind and do not see, I talk to you this day and ask you to focus on Me and to know that I am truly with you. As you breathe and as your heart beats, I am ever present and within you. I am here present with you. I am the Almighty God! My love I outpour to you. My grace I give to you.

  2. Jesus:  I am the Almighty God! I am forever present. It is in your suffering that you are strengthened. I ask you to focus on the crown of thorns they placed on My head. As the blood ran down the sides of My face, think of how this felt! As I sat wounded, My body covered with deep wounds and bleeding, the blood ran into My eyes and into My ears. This is the blood that I shed for you.

  3. Jesus:  Put yourself there as I sit. Feel as they spit on Me! Feel as they poke at Me! Think of how you would feel to be treated the way they treated Me! Put yourself on the chair and go through My sufferings with Me.

  4. Jesus:  Feel your head as it pounds from the thorns! Feel the blood as it runs on your body! Feel the gashes that burn so deeply under the cloak! Feel the spit as it hits your face! This is the love that I have for you!

  5. Jesus:  I ask you to be My soldiers, to go out into this world. They persecuted Me. They whipped Me. They crowned Me with thorns and they put Me to death. I loved those who treated Me so violently. I ask you this day to focus entirely on Me. If the earth falls down around you, interiorly the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are forever within your breast with such love.

  6. Jesus:  No person can ever take away your union within with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Your union forever and ever and ever in eternity depends upon the union you have with God here.

  7. Jesus:  I call you to sainthood! I call you to holiness! As I suffered this spit that hit My face and body, I call you to suffer with Me all the persecution that you may receive. For in this persecution I am totally present at every second. As your heart beats, as you breathe every breath, I never leave you! If the earth shakes around you, if it rocks and the floor cracks, you will sit steadfast for I never leave you. Hear the small, gentle voice within your heart as it calls to you, "I love you, I love you, I love you!"

  8. Jesus:  My Heart is bleeding from the indifference I receive in this world. I call out to you to be strong soldiers. You must focus on Me and this interior committedness to Me.

  9. Hail Mary ...

  10. Song: Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. His regal scepter knows no bounds. All kingdoms are His own. All Christians come and sing to Him who died for Thee. And hail Him as our Savior King for all eternity.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love…

  

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

  1. Jesus:  Hear the still, small voice as it says so gently inside: "I love you, I love you, I love you!"

  2. Jesus:  I ask you to carry your crosses as I carried Mine. The cross was so heavy I could scarcely move. I fell under its weight. I ask you to accept your crosses willingly. It is in accepting these crosses that you will be strengthened for I provide everything you need. Your lessons I teach you with the greatest love. Your crosses I give you out of great love for you. It is in these crosses that you receive new life, new life in Me! Accept all that I give you!

  3. Jesus:  As I walked with My cross on My back, I peered into the beloved eyes of My dear Mother. Her face was reddened! The tears from her eyes! I could see the sufferings deep within far more than the features of her face. How My Heart was torn to see My beloved Mother, whom I love so much, riddled with such suffering!

  4. Jesus:  I watch you, My child. I am forever with you! I know all the desires, the sufferings, of your heart. It is in your sufferings, your acceptance of your sufferings, that you give Me such great love.

  5. Jesus:  How do you love Me, child? You love Me through holiness, through loving your brothers. Always love! I loved those who persecuted Me. You must always love! Focus on the love I have for you and hear the still, small voice as it whispers within your heart: "I love you, I love you, I love you!"

  6. Jesus:  You are My beloved ones. You I love. You I want closer union with. You, you, My precious loved ones!

  7. Jesus:  Carry the crosses that I give to you with great joy, for they are given to you with My great love. It is in carrying these crosses that you will receive new life in Me.

  8. Jesus:  I was crowned with thorns! I was beaten over My entire body! I was always at peace. Remain at peace for you know the immense love that I have for you. I never leave you.

  9. Jesus:  It is in following the Father's Will and living in His Will as a little child that you will have peace, joy and true happiness.

  10. Jesus:  My dear soldiers, you are being strengthened for the days ahead. I am totally with you and present. All that you undergo I am allowing. I ask you to accept each and every suffering that I give you as a gift from Me to you, given out of great love! It is in these sufferings that you will be drawn ever closer to My Most Sacred Heart.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...)

   

     

Jesus Dies on the Cross

  1. Jesus:  I hung for three agonizing hours to My death on the cross! Put yourself on the cross. Your hands nailed, your feet nailed to the cross! Your body covered with wounds! Put yourself there!

  2. Jesus:  It is in meditating on My passion that you will know of My immense love.

  3. Jesus:  I truly hung there to My death!

  4. Jesus:  I accepted death on the cross in compliance with My Father's Will and in great love for you.

  5. Song: 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.

  6. Jesus:  This is the love that I have for you this day. I ask you to put the world aside. Focus on loving one another. Focus on Me! I fill you with this immense love. Hear the cry of the voice inside: "I love you, I love you." Do not be angry with those around you. It is your committedness to Me, committedness to this union with Me, to making Me the center of your every thought, to letting Me live in you, through you and with you, and at every second to totally surrender, that allows Me to operate in you. It is no longer you who live, but I who live in you!

  7. Jesus:  You are My chosen ones, to whom I give My Heart!

  8. Jesus:  My Heart was pierced with a lance and what poured out was the abounding love from My Heart, blood and water for your salvation!

  9. Jesus:  It is up to you to let go! Always love! I loved those who persecuted Me. I did not hold grudges. I loved. There is no division in love. There is always unity in love. You must love all! I loved those who put Me to death! I surrendered always to the Father's Will. Anything that happens to you this day I am allowing! Accept what I am giving to you today and love it as coming from Me.

  10. Jesus:  Among the thorns there will be a bed of roses. Come to My bed of roses!

Song after the last decade: I come to you with greatest 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
