Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A.

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

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

Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.

Messenger: Dear apostles,
Our time is so valuable. I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. It is the little things done for Jesus that please Him, trying to spread the fruit for the kingdom. We may feel we may have not accomplished a lot some days and yet we make one tape or one phone call or send one package that gets someone else started on a mission. We are planting seeds and since we have so much to do, we must look at the first Apostles and see how their seeds grew and grew and grew. 

Every action we perform has an effect that goes on and on and on, and if we perform an action, it affects another and another and another. Look at all the seeds in one tape made, all the seeds in one newsletter that touches so many souls. That is why it is important we keep working. Sometimes it may seem slow, but it is for a sure purpose we work. Satan wants us to stop spreading these seeds out there. That is why the daily message is so important. We reach hungry souls all over the earth and spread seeds. We have lots of seeds on the Internet. We are a body, all dependent on each other, which is why it is so important we are doing God's will. Satan has all these people planting weeds with our seeds. In the night they come and they sow them with the good seeds. Now so many seeds are sown and not until the end will He sort them out, lest some good things get uprooted.

I wrote this letter to the apostles about 7:00 this morning and Our Lord told me to put it on the Internet with the writing about sowing seeds. I looked around my house for the book to try to find the scripture. I didn't have much time to look so I left with my lectionary and my Bible.

When I got to 8:30 Mass with some of the handmaids and a servant and some apostles, I heard the scripture quote I wanted to find read in the Gospel. I was in the pew with two apostles and I wanted them to know what Jesus said only 1 1/2 hours before as I wrote the apostle note.

This is today's Gospel.

Matthew 13: 35-43

This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet:    

I will speak to you in parables,
 unfold what has been hidden
 since the foundation of the world.

The parable of the darnel explained

Then, leaving the crowds, he went to the house; and his disciples came to him and said, 'Explain to us the parable about the darnel in the field.' He said in reply, ' The sower of the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world; the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom; the darnel, the subjects of the Evil One; the enemy who sowed it, the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; the reapers are the angels. Well then, just as the darnel is gathered up and burnt in the fire, so it will be at the end of time. The Son of man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of falling and all who do evil, and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. The the upright will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Anyone who has ears should listen!

Messenger: Just think of how one bad movie plants so many weeds in our children's hearts.

The more we realize the consequences of our actions and our responsibility to be all that we can be for Jesus, to be like Jesus and Mary, the more our world will know renewal.

He is taking us into the depth of His Heart and He is giving us grace to help us change our tainted ways. The more we surrender, the more this grace acts in us so we can do good and work as He desires.

As St. Paul says, "...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me..." (Gal 2:19-20)

Excerpt from July 13, 2000, a live rosary, a message from Jesus

Jesus speaks: A garden I have planted, and a plowman comes and he wears black. And he wants the little shoots for his own. And he has a screen with ugly things that they see, and their growth is thwarted, and many are falling down to the ground.

Oh My children, so sad it is, for so haughty and willful are they in their ways. And the Father is so good and loving. The Father gave Me to you, My children. I am the Gift that your Father gave. I am the Bread of Life, and you smite Me and treat Me this way. 

Oh I cry to you, My shepherds. I cry to you to pray, to be fervent, to love. For it is love that the Father wants. He does not want to look and see YOU in these ways of the world. He wants you to be a strong family of love, united, one as He desired from the beginning, with the whole desire within your hearts to serve and to love Him and to bring forth fruit for the Kingdom of God.

Excerpt from Message of Mary, December 19,1996

December 19, 1996
Received in a few minutes after Communion
St. Gertrude Church

Mary speaks: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

Isaiah 65: 17-25

The coming judgement

For look, I am going to create
   new heavens and a new earth,
and the past will not be remembered
and will come no more to mind.
Rather be joyful, be glad for ever
at what I am creating,
for look, I am creating Jerusalem
   to be 'Joy'
and my people to be 'Gladness'.
I shall be joyful in Jerusalem
and I shall rejoice in my people.
No more will the sound of weeping
   be heard there,
nor the sound of a shriek;
never again will there be an infant there
   who lives only a few days,
nor an old man who does not run
   his full course;
for the youngest will die at a hundred,
and at a hundred
   the sinner will be accursed.
They will build houses and live in them,
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
They will not build for others to live in,
or plant for others to eat;
for the days of my people
   will be like the days of a tree,
and my chosen ones will themselves use
   what they have made.
They will not toil in vain,
nor bear children destined for disaster,
for they are the race
   of Yahweh's blessed ones
and so are their offspring.
Thus, before they call I shall answer,
before they stop speaking
   I shall have heard.
The wolf and the young lamb
   will feed together,
the lion will eat hay like the ox,
and dust be the serpent's food.
No hurt, no harm will be done
on all my holy mountain,
Yahweh says.

Messenger: I talk about the school rosary mailing.

Mary has asked us to put out a mailing to over 7,000 Catholic schools and make Walter's rosaries available to them.

It is costly to hire a company to do it, and we have apostles that work and pray concerning all the other aspects of the ministry, trying to spread the newsletter, prayer chapters, Blue Books, rosary meditations and everything else we do, majorly trying to get people to pray.  It would help us tremendously if we could pay someone to do the mailing.

If you can help us with the School Rosary Program through your prayers and a donation of funds, it will be greatly appreciated. You may designate that your donation is for the School Rosary Program, or to make a donation, you can contact us at (toll free) 1-888-211-3041 or (513) 932-4451.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR THE SCHOOL ROSARY PROGRAM.

We have three main centers, Morrow, Ohio; China, Indiana; and Clearwater, Florida.

Please help us spread seeds to the children.  Please help us with the School Rosary Program.

Here are the Rosary Aves and a picture of the consecration cards we send.

Meditating on the
Rosary Aves

This bead-by-bead commentary on the mysteries of the Rosary serves to enhance our awareness of the powerful events involving Our Lord and Our Lady during His mission of salvation among us. Reciting one thought before each Hail Mary in every decade gives just another small aid in concentrating on the great wonder of the Messianic story.

5. God is offended by the willfulness of men today.
6. Whether we go to heaven or hell depends on whether we love God and love one another.
7. Jesus shows us how to love by giving Himself for love of us.
8. Jesus was crowned with thorns. He was whipped, His body was torn. He suffered this that we would share in His life and go to heaven some day.
9. Our life here will end soon and we will be somewhere forever and ever. Let us love God and love one another that we will share in the great gift He gives us, the gift of eternal life in heaven.
10. Think of the men that whipped Jesus and crowned Him with thorns. Think how cold their hearts were.

Messenger: We send Walter's rosary to the schools.

We send scapulars also.

The Rosary Aves are short meditations for all 15 mysteries on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.

Seeds must be planted in the schools.

Our Lady of Clearwater asked us to send a school mailing for this October to all Catholic schools. She asked for Walter's rosaries.

The information that follows is from the head of the Rosary Factory in Clearwater, Florida.

There are clearly specified guidelines for making Walter's rosary: Small faceted beads (of a single color) are used for the Hail Marys and a larger faceted clear-colored bead is used for the Our Father. Spacers rather than knots are used on either side of the Our Father beads, and a single knot is used to secure the rosary beads. This knot is placed firmly against the first Our Father bead so that beads do not move or slide on the cord. This knot is to be sealed by either melting the ends of the cord with a flame or with a drop of clear nail polish brushed on the end of the cord. (More detailed instructions can be obtained by calling us.

Walter's rosary is beautiful, inexpensive, and can be made in less time than most cord rosaries. It has been explicitly requested by Our Lady for use in our School Rosary Program and for free distribution at our Sites.

Our Lady also wants well-made, beautiful rosaries to be distributed all over the world. We therefore welcome the donation of all types of mission cord and other rosaries. Mary has said that she wants rosary makers from all over the world to help her by donating some of their rosaries to her Rosary Factory. Priests from various parts of the world (especially Africa) are asking for rosaries.

A second rosary that Mary has clearly requested is Her "Special Image Rosary"; it is a crystal-bead rosary and has her Clearwater image as the center.

Because we are in desperate need of mission rosaries and rosary-makers, each of our three Sites is asked to provide a rosary-making class twice a month to all people interested in learning how to make the "Special Mission Rosary". Those individuals responsible for the instruction in these classes, must be well-trained so that those learning will be able to make the rosaries according to the guidelines. The new rosary-makers will then be able to teach others, and our supply of beautiful rosaries can be quickly multiplied.

These rosary-making classes will be free of charge and materials for rosaries that can be made at home will be available. Because we are in such great need of funds for the School Rosary Program, we would appreciate general donations from anyone who wishes to support the program. We also ask rosary-makers to offer a donation for the materials they use to make their mission cord rosaries. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.

Messenger: Our Lady wants good, beautiful rosaries.

I am a messenger, not a rosary maker. Mary asked me to deliver the message how she wants the rosary in the hands of all people.

If the devil creates enough confusion as we set up the system, then we won't have any rosaries when we have schools and people from all over begging for rosaries.

The rosary is her instrument to help bring peace. Anyone making rosaries is helping to promote peace. Our rosary making circles should emphasize that distributing rosaries to the world will help bring peace.

We desperately need funds for beads for Walter's rosary and rosary makers to make them.

We need other rosaries for foreign mission countries. If you are willing to make rosaries and want to learn how, you can call us.

We need rosaries for the schools, we need rosaries to pass out at the site, we need rosary makers and beads.

Please be patient with us as we try to do all that Mary asks us to do.

Many of us work full time for this Movement. Since Fatima 1917 a lot of years have passed. Now we are giving it all we have to do as Mary asks. Please help us. She wants us to reach the schools in October. We need your support and your love and, if you can be a rosary maker, your hands.

Apostles should do what God has asked them to do. We want people that are being called as rosary makers. If your job is something else, then let the ones who are being called for rosary making do this, and you do whatever God is asking you to do.

The Rosary Factory needs your prayers, the rosary makers need your prayers, and we need prayers and money for the school mailing to over 7,000 Catholic Schools.

I am a messenger, I deliver a message from God or from the Virgin Mary. I know the seriousness of the message. I try to deliver the message the best way I can in my human ways. If the focus is on me, it can block the message, and then what they tell us that is very important, for example, regarding the peace of the world, does not get done.

All of us in the Shepherds of Christ try to deliver the same message as God or Mary gave it to us. Because of our imperfections, or because of the devil trying to confuse communication, the message may be blocked.

The bottom line is do not focus on the messengers primarily. Look at the fruits of the Movement. Do not judge the Shepherds of Christ Movement by what others say outside the Movement or by some inside the Movement. Look at the fruits, read the messages from God and Mary. We are all imperfect human persons trying to deliver a message.

This message from Mary is clear-

WE NEED Rosaries.

She wants all types, but well made rosaries.

We want mission rosaries for the missions.

We need Walter's rosaries for schools and the Mary Image Site because Mary asked for them.

Please be patient with us and help us do this, for the peace of the world in a major way depends on the message of Fatima. Mary said we must pray the rosary.

Please help us do what she asks.

Has Mary ever in the course of time appeared as she has on the building in Florida?

Messenger: Are we still not going to listen to Our Lady of Fatima's request to pray the rosary even with this great miracle of Mary on the window?

Let's work together, get our heads together, study the messages and do what Mary wants, and try to get the rosary in the hands of all.

There will not be peace until we realize we must work hard against the snares of the devil to block communication.

We want to please Mary and Jesus.

We want to answer Our Lady of Clearwater's requests.

We need especially rosary makers of Walter's rosaries. Pray for those rosary makers centered in Dale, Indiana. Pray for our Rosary Factory.

We can't do in a few years what wasn't done in over 80 years since Fatima, but with God's might and your prayers and this spot in Florida- Mary's Image Building- we can try to reach men so they will listen to Mary.

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

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

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

^{(End of Mary's Message)}

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:
