REPARATION IS THE FOUNDATION
OF THE FATIMA MESSAGE

R. My experience at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church before the Lourdes Statue and the Cross was awesome.

The world is suffering and in pain. We must pray the Divine Mercy.

"A sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible, divine reality."25

Jesus no longer walks the earth. We carry out His life, death, and Resurrection in our lives.

The Church is the continuation of Christ upon earth. The Church is a sacrament. We encounter Christ in a special way through the Sacraments.

If I am united to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, if I dwell in Their Hearts, I help channel grace to others.

The more I live in Their Hearts and you live in Their Hearts, the deeper we are united.

I am deeply united to my brothers that are deeply saturated with His grace.

The rosary is the story of the lives of Jesus and Mary. God communicates with us through His Son, Who became man.

Mary's heart was pierced seven times. There are seven Sacraments. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces. When we dwell in Their Hearts, the love of God is so alive in us. We are joined in such oneness with God when we are dwelling in Their Hearts. We receive His divine life and divine love.

Mary's heart is filled with His love. She dwells most deeply in His Heart. Her heart is sinless. Through Mary, we can dwell more deeply in His divine Heart because her heart is pure.

The grace-life comes through His humanity. Life comes from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through Mary, to us. We act as channels of this life in the world. We carry out His life in our lives.

The Church continues His life, death, and Resurrection this day. He is present to us in the Sacraments. Mary is our Mother and Mother of the Church. The Spirit transforms us in Mary's heart to make us more like Jesus.

Jesus gives us His Body and Blood this day. His life flows from His pierced Heart from which blood and water flowed. The water is a symbol of Baptism, of the life He gives to us; the blood is a symbol of the Eucharist whereby we are fed.

The Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. The angel told the three children at Fatima:

"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God."

Father Carter says in his book, The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje that: "Reparation is a foundation of the Fatima messages."26

…we notice the distinctive Trinitarian nature of the messages. We are instructed that, in our Christian existence, we must express the greatest reverence for Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as we serve them through the virtues of faith, hope, and love. These three virtues are at the heart of our life of grace.

We are reminded of the ugly reality of sin and of our duty to make reparation for it.26

Our Lady calls for a specific act of reparation - the five first Saturdays. Reparation is a foundation of the Fatima message.

Love God; Love our neighbor. Pray and make sacrifices for others. Make everything we do a sacrifice. We must be united to God throughout the day.

God has sent Our Blessed Mother to call us back to Jesus and to be in a closer union with Him. Mary is our Spiritual Mother - the Mediatrix of all grace. We should accept all the sufferings He sends us. The cross leads to life. We carry out the Pascal Mystery in our lives, that of death-resurrection. The cross leads to life. We live the cross. We act as channels of His grace to others. The Eucharist is at the center of the Church's life.

"'My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.'

Then, rising he said: 'Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.'…"27

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:
"Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way…I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal. Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you."28

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:
"The angel came…bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood where falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: 'Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.'"29 30

Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary appear in the foreground as the inseparable Mediators of the Father of Mercies.

AWAKE, SONS OF GOD

R. People were so irreverent at a church on Sunday, October 8, 1995. Immediately after Sunday Mass, people were selling entertainment books in the church, drinking coffee right in front of the altar and in front of the tabernacle, standing around laughing, hollering, and socializing, and counting money from the entertainment books on the Communion rail in front of the tabernacle. One man whistled as he carried the table he sold entertainment books on all through the sanctuary by the side of the main altar.

 

October 9, 1995

R. God gave to man such gifts, and Adam and Eve sinned against God. God gives us such gifts today and man continues to sin against God. Let us help make reparation to God for the offenses against Him. Tell Him that we are sorry for the ingratitude of sinful men.

God showed His love and His faithfulness to His promise by the Incarnation and by the life, death, and Resurrection of the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity.

God knows and loves Himself. He was perfectly happy and did not have to create man. He created him out of His great goodness. Creation is usually attributed to the First Person, knowledge to the Second Person, and love to the Third Person, but all share in these actions.

All I want to do is to know Him more. To know Him is to love Him.

Jn. 1:1-13:

In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not over power it.

A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.

The Word was the real light
that gives light to everyone;
he was coming into the world.
He was in the world
that had come into being through him,
and the world did not recognize him.
He came to his own
and his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believed in his name
who were born not from human stock
or human desire
or human will
but from God Himself.

R. Life flows from the pierced Heart of Christ. Man is redeemed by the blood of Jesus. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not.

I love You. I love You. I love You. I want to know You, to seek You, to have You more and more and more. My heart craves Your love - You are my Beloved.

We were born because God wanted us to be born. If we are baptized, we have a special sharing in His divine life. We are sons of God and heirs of His kingdom if we love and serve the Lord.

God existed. He was completely happy. He lacked nothing. He wanted to communicate His goodness and love so He created man.

Adam and Eve, our first parents, sinned. God prepared men for the coming of the Jesus. This is given in the Old Testament. The New Eve, Mary, and the New Adam, Jesus, came to this earth. Mary is our Spiritual Mother, the Mother of our spiritual life. Eve is the mother of the living. God promises to send a Redeemer. Jesus comes and gives Himself that we will have life, that we will share in His divine life. God keeps His promise. God is always faithful to His Word.

TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM

R. Mary has said at Fatima that we will not have peace in the world until a sufficient number of people are consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Mary will be faithful to the promises of Fatima.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

Salvation History includes the story of man's willfulness and sinfulness. God is faithful with His infinite mercy and love.

God was completely happy. He created man from His goodness and love to communicate His love to His creatures.

Many times man is blind and deaf and does not see the plan. This is the plan of Salvation History that man was created to know, love, and serve God.

To love God more, we must know Him. He is revealing Himself to us in the Scriptures. We must read them to love Him more.

From the side of the first Adam came Eve. From the side of Christ came the Church.

We are fed through His Body and Blood.

 

October 11, 1995 - 4: 17a.m.

R. Awakened with pain so bad in the left foot -- drawing up in both feet. Couldn't stay in bed, too bad.

Jesus: I awake you with pain in your feet. You do not want to deliver My messages of love.

These are messages of My love. My Shepherds of Christ Members are so important to the spread of this movement.

I am guarding you, your loss of sleep will not bother you. I am controlling your life. You have surrendered your will to Me.

You will continue to experience pains, deep in your hands and feet. You do not comprehend, this is My constant presence with you.

Why do you fear, when you know that I am the Almighty God and I am present to you.

You must do everything I ask, these tapes are important to spread Fr. Carter's messages about the Shepherds of Christ.

My messages will be spread extensively through these tapes. You must continue to travel and take the books and tapes with you.

I will continue to talk to you in the rosary when other visionaries have ceased to get messages.

These rosaries are so important in drawing all to the burning love of our hearts. Do not hold back, proceed steadfastly ahead and I will be your fore guard and your rear guard.

I am giving you these pains to keep you focused on Me. I want time spent alone with Me in the early morning. You must surrender, you have not beckoned to My call.

I am guarding you, do not be afraid, I go before you on the journey to prepare the way for you.

Take not nap sack or clothes, use your voice, I deliver this message through you.

Even now you doubt with pains in your hands and feet.

Circulate My messages and the messages of June 26. You experience this suffering because of those in the Church who neglect Me and irreverence among some. Who do I call, if you turn away. These are messages to you and to the group. Please beg them to obey and take me seriously.

Where you go to the meeting, I go with you, My Mother goes with you.

Whenever you speak, I am present. You are being guarded. Please make reparation to My Heart and My Mother's Heart for the sins of men.

I love you, Jesus

SEE SUFFERING AS A GIFT

Written at 4:17 in the morning:

R. He sweat blood for the indifference and neglect.

Jesus: They pierced My hands and feet, they numbered all My bones, from My pierced side the Church was born. This is My gift to you today - I give you Myself. Let not your hearts be troubled! I am the Bread of Life, come to Me. Love Jesus

R. There is such trouble in the Church today. I know I want to circulate the tapes and books with the Gospel message of His great love for us. The pains in my hands and feet are a constant reminder of His presence with me. All suffering is a constant reminder of His presence with us if we see the suffering as a gift from Him. He knows our every thought. He allows all that we are experiencing. The very hairs of our head are numbered.

 

October 11, 1995

WE MUST MARCH ON WITH A WHITE BANNER

R. I am very disturbed to have a problem with anyone for I love them and do not want to hurt them in anyway, but I want to always respond according to the truth.

The truth is my banner, to march on this world. The truth is the banner I carry, the message, the message of His love and my great love for God and for the Church. I love the Church and His especially chosen religious. He has anointed them, and they will lead the strayed ones home. He has chosen them. Jesus wants us to spread this book to the religious.

Jesus: I call out and My cries fall on deaf ears.

R. He wakes them from a dark, long sleep and they begin to see the light of day. The Church will carry a white flag filled with purity and burning love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Song: Oh burning Heart, oh Love Divine, how sweet You are to me.

All through the day, I unite in the Mass with all the Masses all over the world. I love the Mass so much. I see Christ acting through the priest in the Mass, and I love him deeply in his deep love for Jesus. My whole life is spent in this quest for deeper and deeper union with God. I thirst with the driest mouth for this knowledge of God. Knowing Him helps to love Him - to more deeply in Him.

I thirst for Thee, my God. My mouth is so dry and my thirst is so deep. Only in You do I find my joy. The world parades its beauties before me. I focus on Jesus. He is my all. My goal is to have deeper and deeper union with Thee. I thirst, and I am quenched by the knowledge of You given in the Scriptures and from my spiritual director, Fr. Carter. I call and You quench my thirst. You have provided Fr. Carter as a great gift given to help in the renewal of the Church and the world. His love for the Church will be passed on through his writings. It is in Jesus' Heart and the heart of Mary that men will realize the love of God.

Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book II to nuns and priests - tell Mike thank you for His efforts.

When Blue Book II is circulated among the priests many will be drawn closer to My burning love. I thank Mike and Tom for this effort. Many are called, few are chosen, I am calling you to deliver the messages of My burning Heart to this world. The priests will answer this call through the Priestly Newsletter and I will outpour My grace through this instrument I am giving them through the prayers of many in the Shepherds of Christ and Prayer Chapters.

I beg you to circulate the Second Blue Book to the priests. Pursue the imprimatur, do not be discouraged, but encouraged, I am guarding you in all the confusion and you are being strengthened for the dark days ahead. You must all unite in one mind and one heart delivering these messages to the world. I love you Jesus.

R. The priests will answer this call through the newsletter and the graces they are receiving from God through the prayers of many. We must all unite in one heart delivering His message of love to the world. He loves us so much.

My deepest union with the priest is in the Sacrifice of the Mass, when I unite with Jesus as victim and offer myself with Jesus and Mary to the Father. The priest merges with Jesus, offering Himself to the Father. It is Jesus offering Himself, through the priest, to the Father.

In one moment bread, and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ through the priest. This is the intense moment when I unite so deeply with God. I am in awe of this act. I see the priest, at this moment, as Christ, and I love God so deeply for the great gift given to men. Who are we that God gives a man the power to change bread into His Body and wine into His Blood?

I love Jesus so much. I adore Him. I love Him. I worship Him. In this moment, my heart is filled with such union with God for His goodness. I love the priest deeply as I know the great gift God has given to us in him. I love the Church. It is through the priest, I love the Church more for He has chosen the priest to represent Himself to me. I see Christ in the priest. I receive His life from the Church. The priest administers the Sacraments to me. The priest celebrates the Mass.

I love the priest so much because he is chosen by God and is acting as Christ in the Church today. I love the Church with my whole heart, with all its flaws and problems. I love the priest because he represents Christ to me. I know Christ is acting in him and in the Church this day.

If I do not have this love for the Church, for the priest, for the Mass, for the Eucharist, I am missing this special encounter with Christ given to us this day. I love the hand that feeds me.

Priests are not being loved by the faithful this day. The Church is disrespected and made fun of in many cases. We must pray for the people to love the Church and love the priests and pray for them.

My love of others enhances my love for God, my love for the Church, my love for the Sacraments, my love for Christ. I love God's holy priests. We must love the Church, the Sacraments and thank God for these great gifts given to us.

Jesus: I wake you with pains in your feet, spread this message to My faithful to love the Church, love the sacraments, love the great gifts given to them.

EXPERIENCING GOD AT MASS

R. Such an experience after Communion: My beloved God comes inside of me and unites to me. The Almighty God gives Himself to me. I cry to express my deep, deep love for Him.

I see clearly the role of the Church as we are formed more into the image of Jesus. I know how I must love the Church. I do love the Church. The Church ministers to me His life.

Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. I give you the Church. I give you Myself in the Blessed Sacrament this day. I am truly present in My Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. I am the Almighty God. Oh how I love you. I give Myself to you.

 

October 11, 1995

R. To love God we must know Him. The truth must be taught in the Catholic Church. The Church has the right to govern. We cannot say what we want. The Church has the right and the power to govern. We must obey the Church.

God wants our salvation and happiness far more than we do. If we become more like Christ we will be more pleasing to the Father.

 

October 12, 1995

THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS

R. I realize the great offenses against God performed by myself and sinful men. I want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart, wounded by the ingratitude and indifference of men. My heart cries out, realizing the great gifts we are given and how Jesus is ignored and treated with such disrespect and irreverence by men.

What a prayer of unity of His faithful ones to join in the Sacrifice and become one in Him, offered to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary and all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory. We unite in each prayer at the petitions with our whole hearts, and our prayer together ascends to the Father.

Jesus: I have shed My Blood for the sins of ungrateful men, it pleases me so for you to offer reparation to My Heart and My Mother's Heart. Many men are so sinful in their ways, pray with deepest fervor for their souls. Unite in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Pray to the Father. How this pleases Him My beloved child.

"Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us." We beg, beg for mercy for the men this day offending God. I see His pierced Heart - a fountain of mercy and love, pouring out on the world as we unite in our most fervent prayer from our hearts.

Prayer:

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in Thee. Let us unite with all the faithful throughout the world and offer this, our sacrifice, to the Father, with the deepest, fervent love, petitioning that He outpour His graces and mercy on ungrateful men.

Let us thank and praise Him for this great gift of Himself, ignored and forgotten so often by sinful men.

Let us unite in one heart fervently loving God and beg the Father to unite this world in love. Let us live always according to the Father's will as little children, always obeying Him and depending on Him for everything.

I join with the priest, in such oneness, with these prayers to the Father. May this be taken to His holy Throne and may the Sacred Heart of Jesus reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary triumph in the hearts of the faithful throughout the world.

Joined in such oneness in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we offer to the Father one sacrifice. We unite in Jesus and offer ourselves to the Father. The Mass is so powerful!

Rosary Meditations for the
Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in the Garden

  1. R. Always in compliance to the Father’s will, we see this as we mediate on all the mysteries of the rosary, how Jesus and Mary always complied to the will of the Father. To have peace and joy in our lives, we must always comply to the will of the Father. We see Jesus in the garden, His face covered with a bloody sweat, and at any moment He could have stopped everything. He could have withdrawn. He, the Almighty God, all powerful and almighty, about to undergo the cruel Passion and His death, and He sees this before Him. He sees all the sins of men and all the men that would reject the grace that He merited for them, but what did He think of? He saw us. He saw us here this night praying, and it filled His Heart with immense joy. It gave Him so much pleasure in His Heart to know that we would love Him so much, for He is a Person and He longs to be loved by His beloved creatures. We do not comprehend and we do not understand how much Jesus is waiting and longing for our love. Let us, in this rosary, give our love to Him by giving our complete attention to Him and listening to the words that He speaks to our hearts. Let us hear Jesus as He outpours His love to us and teaches us about Himself.
     

  2. R. How many times have we felt like we have gone through this Passion too in our lives? Have we felt buckled over and filled with pain? It is so hard sometimes. We are trying so hard in this world, that does not recognize God as it should, to please the Almighty God, and it seems like we are pressed on and pressed on, and we say, "God please help us. Take this cross away." But He allows us to continue to suffer, and we do not understand. It is in the death that there is the resurrection. Constantly in our lives, we live this Paschal mystery of death - resurrection. Let us mediate on the mysteries of this rosary, His suffering and His death, and let us think all through these mysteries how He rose victorious on the third day, how it is through His death that we share in His Divine life. Let us think of how it is to know God and to love Him. It is because of Jesus, because of His Passion and His death, that we are able to partake in His Divine life. Through our little deaths, there is always the resurrection. As we go through our lives, we grow more and more in this life in Him. Mary, the Mother of our Christ-life, is there with us, is leading us deeply into the Heart of her Son.
     

  3. R. Treasure beyond all treasures is the Heart of Jesus. The Heart filled with endless, Divine love, the Heart from which the life of God flows. They pierced His Heart with a lance and what came forth was Blood and water. Water - a symbol of Baptism whereby we partake in His Divine life. Blood - a symbol of the Eucharist by which we are fed with the Bread of Life. Oh God, how we love You! Let our hearts be focused only on You in this rosary. As we see Your face covered with Blood, as we see the Blood drop to the ground, as we know the immense mental agony that You suffered in the garden, the suffering to know how You would be rejected and forgotten by those that You gave Your life for, may we know a little bit, just a little, of how much You truly love us. We love You. We love You. We love You, Jesus Christ the Savior of the world.
     

  4. 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."
    Jesus:  I have come to set brother against brother, mother against son. My beloved ones, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I give you My life, and I give you My love. You must focus totally on My love for you. You must come to Me and give Me your love and give love to one another. This is the commandment that I give to you - that you love God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole being, and you love one another as you love yourselves.
     
     

  5. Jesus:  Mental torment, My beloved ones, how I suffered mental torment in the garden, but My thoughts were comforted by the love that you give to Me this evening. Put aside all of the thoughts in your heart that do not pertain to Me, and focus totally on your beloved Savior. I gave My life for you. Will you give Me your mind and your heart at this moment, and let Me fill you with My grace that you will share more and more in My life? I am giving to you a great treasure at this moment. You must open your heart and let Me pour My grace into your heart and into your soul. I am Jesus. I love you with the most burning love you do not even comprehend. Your souls are thirsty for the love of God. You were created for this love. Nothing on this earth will satisfy this craving, this appetite within you except My love. You must put aside all of the thoughts in your mind, in your heart and focus on Me, for I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am Jesus the Son of God, your Savior, your Redeemer, your King, your Lover. Open your heart, and I will fill your heart with Divine love. I love you. I love you. I love you, My sweet one.
     

  6. Song: You Are Mine
     

  7. Jesus:  The world is asleep, My beloved ones. They are walking in darkness. They are covered with a cloud. Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear. I have lifted the veil for you, My chosen ones, and I am giving to you a great grace that you will see with eyes unveiled and hear with ears that are open to My Word. You have been called, and you have been chosen. You will walk into the dark night as lights shining, and My light will radiate from your heart and from your soul. Come to Me and let Me bathe you in My love, in My most Sacred Heart.
     

  8. Jesus:  I am alive. I am alive. I am alive and I live in your heart, and I live in this world as you walk the streets. It is through you that My grace will touch many hearts. You must surrender totally and give yourself to Me. Give yourself. Give your heart to My Mother for she will turn your cold heart into a warm heart that will unite with My Heart. I love you, My dear one. I am telling you the secrets of My Heart, that you will know the true treasure, the treasure that this world has cast aside and is suffering for its ignorance and neglect. See with eyes unveiled for I am giving to you a great grace given to My dearest saints. You are My apostles that will carry the flag across this earth, that will carry My flag, full of love, to the world that is hurting and in pain.
     

  9. R. And He saw it all. He saw the whole Passion before Him. He knew vividly every pain. He knew every beating, every thorn prick. He knew all that He would suffer. He knew the pain on the cross and three agonizing hours that He would suffer. He knew all the souls that would go to hell despite His suffering. But despite all of this, He gave Himself. He gave Himself for me and He gave Himself for you, knowing full well everything that He would suffer, because of His great love for us, that we would be saved, that we would share in His Divine life, that we might be with Him forever and ever in heaven.
     

  10. R. Oh Heart of Jesus, Treasure beyond all treasures, give me the grace to dwell forever in Your Heart.
    Song: Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You’re here to love and care for me.

  

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

  1. R. They took Him away and they tied Him to the pillar, and they began to beat Him. They took turns beating our beloved Savior. Stand there. Let us picture ourselves tied to the pillar. Picture us.
    Jesus:  How is the love in your heart, My beloved ones? Would you stand at the pillar and allow men that you loved to tear your flesh, knowing full well that you could stop it at any moment? I stood at the pillar and they tore My flesh, and My blood fell to the ground. I withstood this for your sins. Do you know how I suffered for your sins, the sins that you commit towards your brothers, when you talk about your brothers, those that I love. My way is love. You are My apostles of love. You must be holy. Your hearts must be filled with holiness. You must go into the world and to always show others how to love. You cannot talk about others. You must have hearts filled with love. Only in love will your heart unite to My Heart. People are watching you. You are the stars against the darkest night. Will you shine or will you be dull? In order to shine, your heart must be likened to My Heart. Give Me your heart, My dear ones, and I will turn your heart to a heart of love.
     

  2. Jesus:  How you insist and insist to go your way and try and try and try. Do you know, My dear ones, that I am with you at every moment? You must admit your dependency on Me. You must surrender and say, "Jesus, I am totally dependent on You. I want to be loving, but I fall. I am a little baby. I need You to help me to love like You. I cannot do it on my own." Go to confession, My dear ones, and tell the priest of the times when you talked about your beloved brother, for I stood at the pillar and I was beaten for your sins, and I was beaten for your brother that I love. I am teaching you in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be of one mind and one heart. Your heart will unite in the deepest union with My Heart, but you must give way. You must not let thoughts of bitterness and hatred toward one another creep into your heart. I am allowing you to suffer, and I am allowing you to watch yourself fall, for you will come crawling on your knees and beg Me, "to help me." "Help me, God," you will say. "Help me. I want to love like You, but I cannot do it myself."
     

  3. Jesus:  I was beaten for you, My beloved ones. You do not know how sins against your brother offend Me and hurt Me. How I was beaten for those words that you speak in hatred toward one another. You are the stars that will shine against the darkness. You are My apostles, but your hearts must be pure. You must come to Me for you cannot do this on your own. I will give you the grace to love, to love as I loved, as I love each and every soul. You are dependent on Me, My dear ones. Watch yourself fall on your face and know that you need Me to help you.
     

  4. Jesus:  Hearts that are haughty and prideful cannot unite to My Heart. There are many this day that are in control, that continue to control with proud hearts. I give to many authority and power. It is to be use only according to the Father's will. Your hearts must be soft and gentle as My Heart. You must not let power and control go to your head, My dear one. You have authority only as the Father gives you authority.
     
    This is from the reading today:
        "Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 
        ‘The Lord Yahweh says this:
        Because your heart has grown proud,
        you thought: I am a god;
        I am divinely enthroned
        far out to sea.
        Though you are human, not divine,
        you have allowed yourself
        to think like God.
        So, you are wiser than Daniel;
        no sage as wise as you!
        By your wisdom and your intelligence
        you have made yourself a fortune,
        you have put gold and silver
        into your treasuries.
        Such is your skill in trading,
        your fortune has continued to increase,
        and your fortune has made your heart
        grow prouder.

        ‘And so, the Lord Yahweh says this:
        Since you have allowed yourself
        to think like God,
        very well, I am going to bring foreigners
        against you,
        the most barbarous of the nations.
        They will draw sword against
        your fine wisdom,
        they will desecrate your splendour,
        they will throw you down into the grave
        and you will die a violent death
        far out to sea.
        Will you still think: I am a god,
        when your slaughterers confront you?
        But you will be human, not divine,
        in the clutches of the ones
        who strike you down!
        You will die like the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners.
        ‘For I have spoken-declares the Lord Yahweh.
    ’" (Ezk. 28:2-10)
     

  5. Jesus:  I am gentle, and I am kind of Heart. I have made men the head of their homes. I have given to the priests authority and a great gift to be called a priest and to offer sacrifice. I have bestowed on men great honor, but within the heart of every man that is given power must be the heart of gentleness and love. I stood at the pillar, and I was beaten and My skin was torn because of the haughty hearts, because of the pride, because of men that wanted their will and not the will of the Father. Everything that you do must be in accordance with the Father’s will. I showed you the way. I stood at the pillar and was beaten because it was the Father's will. You must strive always to do the will of the Father with love. Love is your primary purpose, to love God above all things and love one another as you love yourselves.
     

  6. Jesus:  You have been called here, and I am teaching you in each rosary and in God’s Blue Book. My beloved ones, you have been called to live these messages, and you have answered this call. I look at you in this room, and I know how each one of you have studied and how you live these messages. I am giving to you this grace, and I am showing you, My dear ones, I am showing you things that I showed only to the greatest saints. Praise and thank your God for the gifts that you are given.
     

  7. Jesus:  Read My letters of love to you. You will carry these messages to the world. You will be the light that shines in the darkest night. I stood at the pillar, and I was beaten. I was beaten because of the haughty hearts. Your heart must be likened to Mine. You are My apostles that will carry this message into this world. You do not comprehend this great mission. Each one of you have been called here. You must respond to the call for I am asking you to help with the souls. What you do will help many souls to be saved. I stood at the pillar, and they tore My flesh. I love each soul with the most burning love that I allowed them to put Me to death. Will you go into this world? Will you walk fearlessly ahead despite the persecution and the verbal battering that you receive? Will you say to this world, “This is the Almighty God. He is alive this day, and He loves you. He loves you. He loves you. Come. Come to Him, and He will give you what your heart desires.”
      

  8. 1 Corinthians 12:12-26
         "For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts-all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body-so it is with Christ. We were baptized into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, 'I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body,' it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the ear were to say, 'I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body,' that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling?
         As it is, God has put all the separate parts into the body as he chose. If they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are many but the body is one. The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you,' and nor can the head say to the feet, 'I have no need of you.'
         What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest which are the indispensable ones. It is the parts of the body which we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity; and our less presentable parts are given greater presentability which our presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater dignity is given to the parts which were without it, and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equally concerned for all the others. If one part is hurt, all the parts share its pain. And if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy."
       

  9. Jesus:  You cannot be divided with any person and have peace in your heart. Your hearts must be hearts of love. You must give up any bitterness and division in your hearts towards any person, for I am God and in My Heart there is not division. I am calling you My apostles of love, My little army that I have called and brought to this room this evening. You must be as the brightest stars shining against the darkened night, for I am Jesus; I am the Almighty God, and I have called you to carry the messages of My burning love to this world, to the priests, to the sisters, to all those that are hurting and in pain. As I stood at the pillar and I was whipped for the sins of men, I knew that you would answer this call. And it was joy to My Heart as the blood ran down My body. My Heart was comforted, and I was filled with such pleasure because of the work and love that you would give to others because of the souls that you would help to be saved. You are My stars that will shine in the darkest night. You have been called. You have been chosen, and I have given to you such grace that you can carry out this mission. You can say 'no' to Me, My dear ones, but it was there when I was scourged that your 'yes' comforted Me. In My greatest agony, I saw you as I hung on the cross. My body withered and in pain, I saw you, and I saw the love that would go forth from your heart into this world. I love you with such love. I gave Myself for love of you and for all souls. Will you help your brothers to know My love?
      

  10. Song: One Bread, One Body
    Song: Only This I Want
    Jesus:  There will be peace and joy in your hearts when you comply always to the Father's will. The Father has a plan for you. I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. You have been called. You have been chosen. Will you answer My call, My apostles of love?

  
  

The Crowning with Thorns

  1. R. Think of the minds of men, and think of how Satan presses on the minds of men. Think of how our thoughts can be so influenced by the evil one, how we can worry about what other people think, how we can think others are talking about us, how we can make ourselves miserable by giving in to our thoughts. Jesus showed us His head crowned with thorns. How He suffered such pain to His head, yet we cannot discipline our thoughts. Let us pray for the grace to ask God to help us to keep our thoughts always thoughts of love, of harmony, of oneness with one another.
     

  2. Jesus:  You must not give in to the seeds of division that Satan plants in your minds. You must say, My loved ones, “I love that person. I love that person.” But do you know that you cannot do this on your own? Do you know that you depend totally on Me?  I have allowed you to fall on your face many times. You, My dear ones, you need My grace. You are dependent on My grace. If you are holy, it is because of the grace that I am giving to you. It is not because of your own volition. I am Jesus. You are dependent on Me, My loved ones. You must come to Me and ask for the grace to love. I want to love through you in this world.
     

  3. R. We must come to the Father as the little, dependent child. We must tell Him of our love and tell Him of our needs.
     

  4. Jesus:  Picture yourself in a chair surrounded by those people that you love the most. Do you see all the people you love? And then watch, My beloved ones, as those you love the most come to you and pound a crown of thorns in your head, and you watch the blood from your head fall on your body.
     

  5. Jesus:  How many times have you crowned Me with thorns by your thoughts of hatred and anger toward one another. I suffered immense pain because of the thoughts of men. You are My chosen ones. Pray that you do not wound My Heart with thoughts of hatred and bitterness for I love you. I love you so much, and it wounds My Heart when you hate one another.
     

  6. Jesus:  You must model your lives after My Mother. You must look at My Mother, her heart pure and sinless. It is only in purity that you will unite to Our Hearts.
     

  7. Jesus:  Go to the heart of My Mother, and ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify you that you may unite in the deepest union in My Heart.
     

  8. Jesus:  You do not know the hatred and the bitterness, the thoughts in the hearts and minds of some men. How I suffered so much pain to My head for the ugly, horrible thoughts of mankind. God is offended by the acts of man this day. Help make reparation to Him for your sins and the sins of mankind. Reparation given to My Heart delights Me, My dear ones. God is offended by sinful men.
     

  9. Song: "Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You’re here to love and care for me."
    R. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive, and He lives within our hearts.
      

  10. Song: "Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus, Give me a heart like Yours. Teach me to love You with this new heart, Oh I know little of how to love You. Create in me Oh precious Saviour this special heart."
    R. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.

  
  

The Carrying of the Cross

  1. Jesus:  Carry your cross, My beloved ones. I watch you as you walk, and I place that cross on your back, but I know that it is in carrying the cross that you will be given much life. You want to put the cross aside, but it is in carrying the cross that you will grow more and more in your knowledge and love of Me.
     

  2. Jesus:  I watch you carry the cross, and I watch you move it from shoulder to shoulder. I watch as it slips down your arm and you fall to the ground, and I am so close to you. I stand beside you and I say, “Carry it a little while longer. Carry it a little longer.” My dear one, for you do not know the great gift that you will receive. At the end of the darkest tunnel, there is the brightest light. I am Jesus. I give to you according to your needs. I give to you suffering. You must learn to endure the suffering and realize that it is a gift in which you will grow more and more in your life in Me.
     

  3. R. My Jesus, I carried the cross and carried the cross and the tunnel was so dark and so black, and I felt as if I would never smile again. But I remember those times, and it was so hard. It was so hard when I felt as if I was dying on the cross with You, and then the light began to steal across the sky, and the glory was beyond all suffering. For after the death, there is the resurrection, our lives, a constant dying and rising in Him.
     

  4. R. Help me realize that we are given suffering and that we must endure the suffering until He lifts the suffering.
    Jesus:  When you are backed up against a wall, My beloved ones, you must surrender and accept all that I give to you and give yourselves to Me, for I am breathing on your neck when you are wrapped up in pain. I am looking in your eyes when you are down under the cross. I am holding your hand when you think I am so far away, and I know all things. I know of the great gifts that will come when you endure the sufferings that I am giving to you. There is always the life after the death when you stay rooted in Me. Carry the cross on your back, and remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
      

  5. R. It’s a rocky road that He trod on the way to Calvary, and He knew that it would end in His death, but He knew of the Resurrection. He carried the cross and it bumped along, and He saw into the eyes of His Mother that comforted Him.
    Jesus:  Look into My eyes, My beloved ones. Be wrapped in the embrace of the love of Our Two Hearts. In the suffering, you must go to Our Hearts and know that you are never alone and I will never abandon you. I am almighty, all powerful. I am God, and I am with you to the end of time.
     

  6. R. And there will come the day when we are lifted into heaven, and we will be wrapped in the Divine embrace, that we will know the embrace of the Almighty God. We must carry our crosses on our backs. Each day, carry the cross and share in the Resurrection. Our lives are this dying and rising, each day.
     

  7. Jesus:  The world tells you that you should not suffer, but I show you the way. Look at Me, My face covered with blood, My head crowned with thorns, the cross bearing down on My back. I could barely move and I fell to the ground, but on the third day I rose victorious.
     

  8. R. Thump. Thump. Thump. Hear the cross of Jesus. See the stress on His face. See the Blood as it pours from His Body. See Him fall under the cross. Do you hear the crowd? Do you hear them holler at our beloved Savior? He withstood all of this in silence. Mary, knowing that He was the Almighty God, stood by, her Heart torn within her chest watching her Son suffer. And They are appearing to us this day. They are appearing to tell us of Their love. This is love that Jesus carried the cross, that He gave His Body and His Blood, that He wants the world to know that He is alive and that He loves and wants to be loved by man.
     

  9. Song: "Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus, Give me a heart like Yours. Teach me to love You with this new heart, Oh I know little of how to love You. Create in me Oh precious Saviour this special heart."
     

  10. Hail Mary…

  

The Crucifixion

  1. R. The greatest Sacrifice of all, the Son of God comes to this earth, and He gives Himself as a sacrifice for love of us that we will be saved.
     

  2. R. The Sacrifice is sacramentally made present at every Mass, the priest offers this Sacrifice. We must unite in this Sacrifice and give ourselves. As Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross, we sacrifice ourselves in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in union with Him. It is in uniting in this oneness with Christ that the grace will be released on this earth and that many souls will be saved. This is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We are not there as spectators. We are there to offer sacrifice, to give ourselves. It is when we give ourselves that grace is outpoured on the earth.
     

  3. R. We must pray for holy priests, that priests will be holy in their hearts and unite in such oneness with the Heart of Jesus, that as they celebrate the Mass and offer sacrifice, that they too offer themselves as a sacrifice in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present at every Mass.
     

  4. R. The grace that was merited by Christ through His life and death on the cross is released in abundant proportion in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The more we unite in this oneness with the Mass, the more this grace is released. Our world is in a desperate state. We must unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in our morning offering, every morning, uniting each one of our activities with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
     

  5. R. Our actions are magnified, and immense amount of grace is released on us and on this world when we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in all of our actions.
     

  6. R. All of our actions, when performed in accordance with the Father’s will with love, are heroic actions when we unite them to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, for grace rains on the earth and the people on this earth. Many will be saved as we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in all of our actions and as we become one in Their Hearts. This is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the fountain of God’s life outpoured on the earth. Jesus gave Himself. "This is My Body. This is My Blood." Let us tap into this fountain of His life at every second as we unite every action to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
      

  7. R. And they pierced His Heart, and the sacramental life of the Church was born.
     

  8. R. His life is a fountain of life pouring out on the earth from the side of Christ.
     

  9. Jesus: My beloved ones, everything is a grace. You must pray for grace. You unite every morning, in the morning offering, to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, for My grace will spill upon this earth and it will be lighted with the brightest light. You are My fervent souls that I have called and that I am joining to My Heart. In this oneness, the grace will be released on the earth, and many souls will be helped. Do not underestimate the value of every action you perform when you unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the morning offering. I am Jesus. I came to this world the Savior. Bring Me souls! Bring Me souls, My beloved ones! You are My apostles. You will help many souls through your efforts that you make to circulate these messages and rosaries in this world. Many will know the fire of My burning love. Do not underestimate the importance of your life. You will struggle, and you will suffer. Look at Me as I hung on the cross. I show you the way. I show you My way. But in the death there is the resurrection. Give Me yourself. Give Me yourself. I want your love. I want you to talk to Me all through the day. When you are worried and troubled, I want you to say in your heart, “Jesus, I love You. Jesus, I love You.” Put aside the thoughts that Satan is planting in your heads, the seeds of doubt and division, and say, “Jesus, I love You.” Take that moment to spend time with Me, loving Me, and I will strengthen you. I want your love. I want you to long and to thirst for My love. I want you to tell Me you love Me. I am a Person. I want you to love Me. I gave My life for you. Will you give your heart to Me?
      

  10. R. It is in complying to the will of the Father that we will have peace and joy in our lives. We see Jesus in the arms of His Mother. Jesus complied to the will of His Father to His death, and Mary complied to the will of the Father. She did not shout all through the Passion and holler, "This is God! What is the matter with you?" She was silent and she accepted the suffering, for she knew the Father had a plan, and she knew that she must endure the suffering. She knew that Jesus must die. She complied always to the will of the Father. Jesus complied to the will of the Father to His death. He shows us the way. His way is suffering and life. The world shows us another way. They show us a way that leads our hearts to hunger and to pain. His way is the way to joy, peace, and love.
    Jesus:  I love you. I love you. I love you. I am Jesus. I give Myself to you. It is in giving yourself to Me that we will unite. I give Myself to you in love, but to become one with Me, you must give yourself to Me. You will share in My Divine love. Nothing on the face of this earth can compare to this love relationship with My Divine Heart. Love is relationship. I give Myself to you. You will share in accordance to how much of yourself you give to Me. I want your all. I promise you peace, love, and joy in your heart when you give yourself to Me. I love you.  To My death, I loved you.

    Jesus:  I would die for you this day. Will you give Me your heart?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$ 10.00  plus postage

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

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