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.

I appear my children on this former bank building in Florida, Our Lady Clothed with the Sun.

September 12, 1998

Messenger: The more we try to control things and people around us, the more we show our lack of faith.

Without any direction from man, the sun comes up and goes down every day, we experience the change of seasons, the sun-lit day, the blustery wind, the snow, beauteous on the ground, and we see that we do not control the elements.

Jesus speaks: I have this lesson to teach you My beloved earth. You wish to control every detail of your lives. Every fat cell is measured, every detail to the n'th degree, but if I so choose a tornado can rip your houses, businesses and your very limbs from your body.

I am God. I breathe life into the baby and man in his audacity feels that he can measure every spoon of flour and make the recipe to his own liking and have control of all the events.

You are not in control. I can stop you all dead. I give you the Commandments, the foundation that you must live by. You do not trust your God, many of you have arrogantly lived your life independently of Him.

You are not independent of your God, you are dependent on Him for your every breath.

Control, control, control, then a power failure can erase months of work on your computer. You have measured every spoon of flour, you have fortified your buildings with steel, you have insured your cars and houses.

When the end came for those on the plane, when the end came for those on the unsinkable ship the Titanic, it came. No matter what the wisest man said and did, they died.

I am God. I am all powerful. I say to the sun to shine and it shines, to the grass to grow and it grows, to the wind to blow and it blows. You know not whence the wind comes and where it is going. You measure and test, but you fail to know when the ice storm will hit and your power will be wiped out.

Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas appears on the building in Clearwater, Florida, and you ignore her.

What do you wish God to do to get your attention? I send gifts, you gag the prophets and laugh behind their backs, then you experience the sufferings and say it was a happening.

When the town of Falmouth flooded it was because they ignored the visits of the Blessed Virgin and did not respond to the messages given through the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

The first time Falmouth made the Cincinnati Enquirer headlines was when Mary appeared. The next time Falmouth made the headlines was when it was flooded, so many months later after warnings were given, time and time again.

My children, gifts are given, warnings are given, all are ignored. How do I get your attention? You will not listen. Your power comes from God.

Messenger: He is in control. God's power flows through those in authority. We are all subject to those in authority. Authority is a friend, it is power coming down from God, but because authority has been misused by many, authority has become known to many as distasteful control that restricts, inhibits and causes pain.

This is not how God intended it to be for the human family. The father of the family is to be one acting like the heavenly Father, acting in love, teaching the children about love and the Commandments and the knowledge of God.

The priest has authority in the Church. He has the authority, to act to a very high degree, like Christ. Through the administration of the Sacraments Jesus' divine life flows to the Body of Christ.

The devil wants us to try to be in control, God wants us to be children always acting according to God's will, always realizing our dependence on God.

How will we be as the Father wishes us to be, we who are the tainted children of Eve, with our willful ways and our tainted human natures? There is only one way, it is in dwelling in the pure and Immaculate Heart of Mary. We choose God's will when we dwell in her Immaculate Heart.

The more the children of Eve disobey and ignore Mary their Mother, the more they will struggle with the evil one and his influence.

In an article in Fr. Carter's newsletter for the priests, he quotes a Jesuit theologian who said that great advances were made in the early Church because Mary was on earth, participating at Mass and interceding for the Apostles and the Church.

I state this clearly: We need to be in the heart of Mary, now interceding to God for all our needs, to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.

In order for the Father's family to operate with power flowing as it should through the person in authority, those in authority need pure hearts.

The priests will not have pure hearts unless they go through Mary's heart. The father of the family won't operate with a pure heart unless he goes through Mary's heart.

More than any human person, Mary's heart was most perfectly conformed to the will of the Father. To be conformed more and more to the Father's will as He wishes, we must be within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Of all human persons, Mary has the most perfect and pure heart. Jesus possesses the most pure Heart, because it belongs to a Divine Person.

We go to the altar of sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, and we offer a most pure and holy sacrifice in Their Hearts.


I ask you to read the accounts of Malachi 1:6-14

'The son honours his father, the slave stands in awe of his master. But if I am indeed father, where is the honour due to me? And if I am indeed master, where is the awe due to me? says Yahweh Sabaoth to you priests who despise my name. You ask, "How have we despised your name?" By putting polluted food on my altar. You ask, "How have we polluted you?" By saying, "The table of Yahweh deserves no respect." When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is this not wrong? When you bring the lame and the diseased, is this not wrong? If you offer them to your governor, see if he is pleased with them or receives you graciously, says Yahweh Sabaoth. In that case, try pleading with God to take pity on us (that is what you have done), and will he take any notice? says Yahwah Sabaoth. Why does one of you not close the doors and so stop the pointless lighting of fires on my altar? I am not pleased with you, says Yahweh Sabaoth; from your hands I find no offerings acceptable. But from farthest east to farthest west my name is great among the nations, and everywhere incense and a pure gift are offered to my name, since my name is great among the nations, says Yahweh Sabaoth.

'But you have profaned it by saying, "The table of the Lord is polluted, hence the food offered on it deserves no respect." You say, "How tiresome it all is!" and sniff disdainfully at me, says Yahweh Sabaoth. You bring a stolen, lame or deseased animal, you bring that as an offering! Am I to accept this from you? says Yahweh Sabaoth. Cursed be the rogue who has a male in his flock but pays his vow by sacrificing a blemished animal to me! For I am a great king, says Yahweh Sabaoth, and among the nations my name inspires awe.'


Messenger: If many throughout the world will pray as Mary has requested at 6:30 p.m. and pray Shepherds of Christ prayers and the rosary, pleading for the Holy Spirit to come in a special way, God will help us the poor banished children of Eve in a most special way.

God will act in His way. In the end there will be one holy and happy family as the Father intended, in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign in the hearts of men and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

We must pray the prayers of the Good Shepherd in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual, we must listen to Our Lady of Fatima, we must give our hearts to Jesus and Mary as she has said. We must listen to Our Lady of Clearwater, Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas.
