9 To the Reader Messenger: Jesus loves you so much. Your life is so important to Him. In this time of your life, you have a lot of time to be with Him. He wants to be with you to talk to you, to share every thought you have. He wants you to share your every moment with Him. This is a special time in your life because you can be alone with Him. If you offer your day to Him, offer up your eating and sleeping and sitting to Him - it is a prayer. At this time in your life, your life offered to Him, your sufferings offered to Him, can help save many souls. Your brothers are suffering today. Many have chosen lives of sin. Many could go to hell. Your daily offering of your life to Him can help so many souls today. Jesus wants you to be so close to Him and to help the world and the Church. Will you offer all your actions to Jesus? Will you offer everything you do as a prayer to Him? Will you offer it for our brothers who are hurting? Will you offer it for our priests and religious? Oh, Jesus needs you. This is a special time in your life to be close to Him and to help to save souls. You have been called as His apostles of prayer. He loves you. He wants you to offer all your little actions to Him to help renew the Church and the world. Will you help by being His apostle? He is calling you an apostle and He will reward you with the greatest gifts in heaven. Jesus loves you and He wants you to love Him. You are His precious one. Listen to these songs and messages. Jesus wanted me to give them to you. These are messages of love from Jesus. viii

12 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 1 August 31, Don t Be Afraid to Love Jesus speaks: DonÕt be afraid to love. I loved until I gave My insides. Give your all in love, this is My way. I supply you with the love inside of you. My love supply is inexhaustible. This is My way, to love unconditionally and to come to God to refurbish your supply. I am consistently on fire for love of you this day. I never go in and out. Your Father still loves you, your Mother loves you, the Holy Spirit loves you! In all your actions, put on Christ. My sweet one, oh how I love you. Come to Me! Mary speaks: I am Mary, your Mother. Let me hold you tenderly in my arms and caress your little body. I am your most loving Mother. I never leave you, child. I am caressing you now. Come and be joined in Our Hearts, cradled by Our love. Hear the beating of Our Hearts. I am your Mother and thank you for responding to this call.

13 2 Shepherds of Christ February 2, 1995 Jesus speaks: My dear, sweet ones, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. How I long and thirst for you, My precious souls. I wait for each one of you. I want to be so close to you. You see before you your world. You do not realize how truly present I am. As you breathe, so your heart beats. I am forever with you. My Heart is a burning furnace of endless love. Time here is so short, here today - gone tomorrow. I came to this earth that you may have life and have it to the full. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Me - it is mere existence. The Father created you with the greatest love. You are His precious child. There is not another person like you. The Father loved you so much He sent His only begotten Son into the world so that you might be saved. I want you to be with Me forever in heaven, joined in such union with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Oh, sweet one, open your heart and pray to Me. Pray to the Spirit to lead you. Life here is but a passing moment, the dropping of a pin, the batting of an eye. I ask you for two things: love of God, love of one another. Hearken to My call. Close your eyes and open your hearts. Forgive all those who have offended you. It is only in a pure heart that I can be close to you. To hold on to anger and hatred is to make your hearts hard. Your home in heaven is beyond all comprehension. Live to spread My love that you may forever dwell with Me for all eternity in the courts of heaven.

14 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 3 I love you. I love you. I love you. You are My precious ones. Trade any bitterness you have for My divine love. I love you so much. Offer up your sufferings for the souls that are hurting. It is in loving you will find joy. All that you do, do it for love of God and love of your brother, and someday you will inherit a Kingdom far beyond your comprehension. Heaven is a reward promised to those who love and serve the Lord. I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry. It is in loving you will find your greatest peace. Matthew 11:28 ÔCome to me all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Messenger: Alleluia, Alleluia, and He gave to them great graces to be drawn ever closer to His Sacred Heart, the Heart of burning love. Mary speaks: My dear children, I am your Mother Mary. I ask you to pray the rosary from your heart. Put yourself there in the lives of my Son, Jesus, and me. In meditating on Our lives you will grow more and more into the image of Jesus, my Son. He loves you so much. He gave His flesh and Blood for you. He would die for you this day. My sweet children, open up your hearts and let me lead you to His loving Heart. He loves you so much!

15 4 Shepherds of Christ March 3, Riverview Nursing Center Jesus speaks: My dear, precious ones: I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never die. I give you Myself. I give you My Body and Blood in the Eucharist. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am as present as the day I walked on the earth, the day I hung on the cross. I come to you, My beloved chosen ones, and I give you Myself. You will unite ever so closely to Me in the Eucharist. My Heart is on fire for love of each of you present. I gave My life for you on the cross. I gave My flesh and My Blood. I give to you now My very Body and Blood. This is My Body, given up for you. This is My Blood, shed for you. Meditate on My Passion when you pray the rosary. I am the Bread of Life. I give you Myself. I share with you My divine life, My divine love. You I love so dearly. Jesus

Open your hearts wide and let Me draw ever closer to you. Minute by minute, second by second, I am in your heart loving you. You are never alone! Listen to My gentle voice inside of you. Talk to Me! Share all your concerns, all your problems with Me. I loved you to My death!

17 6 Shepherds of Christ March 8, 1995 Jesus speaks: I will knock on the door of their hearts and whoever opens I will come in and I will sup with thee. John 14:6 I am the Way; I am Truth and Life... Jesus speaks: I am He Whose bootstraps you are unworthy to fasten and I come to you with greatest love, My beloved dear ones. Oh, how I love thee. Oh, how I wait for you. I ardently love you with an unfathomable love, yet you keep yourselves at armõs length from Me. Some never even come close to Me. I stand, I knock. I wait so patiently. Gently, I treat you. You do not comprehend the great love I have for you. I beckon you to listen to My words here, for I truly speak to you. Remove the crust from your eyes. Pray that you may see with hearts that are open to Me, that clear vision is had in your hearts. You look, you wonder, you roam, you cover your eyes. You close your hearts and I watch you, so gently do I tap. So willful you are and set in your ways. I knock, I knock, I knock so gently and patiently. All that you want, all that you need is found in Me, yet you turn your backs and miss My great love for you. My dear, dear loved ones. I love you with unfathomable

18 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 7 love. I knock, I knock, I knock minute-by-minute, secondby-second. I tend to your needs. Harken to My call. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am Jesus, your Savior on fire for love of you, My dear, dear chosen ones. You think I do not know your sufferings. I know everything about you. I ponder the ways of your heart. I know you far better than you know yourself. I am Jesus, your beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul. Harken to Me. I love you, I love you, I love you. This is My love letter to you, My sweet ones.

19 8 Shepherds of Christ March 31, 1995 Jesus speaks: I am with you, you do not see Me, but I am forever there and I am guarding you. Second-by-second, moment-by-moment hear a gentle voice within your breast say, ÒI love you, I love you, I love you.ó I am whispering in the recesses of your heart as you breathe and as your heart beats. I am in you, deeply embedded in your heart. I want you to talk to Me all day. As you act, I act in you. I am living as one with you. You are never alone. Turn to Me at every moment and experience Me present within you. You are My beloved ones. You are so important to Me, My little ones. Your lives offered up as a prayer to My Father will help this hurting world. Offer all your actions to Him, all through the day. Every thing you do, offer it as a prayer for this hurting world.

I love you more than an earthly mother could love you. I love each one of you with a personal love, more than you can love any of your own children. I call you to come to my Heart. I carried my Son, Jesus, in my womb. I carried Him, a Child, in my arms. I held Him in my arms under the cross. I hold you now, my sweet children, in my arms and press you to my Heart.

30 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 19 all. Come and be nourished by Me. I have all you need. Your time is not your time. I loan it to you. I loan you your time to do My work. This is your day, but it is My day to work in you. You are doing as you ought. You feel tired and worn out and you wonder why. My work is work. It is not a puffy little job. It is a big job. It is the most important thing you do. You keep doing My work and then wonder why you are exhausted. My work is hard. It is struggling up a hill in a world that has lost its way. People are closed. The world is pulling you everyplace but to Me and then you wonder why the exhaustion. You pray many hours a day and talk many more trying to sell My wares. It is hard work. People reject you. They are closed. They are not of Me. They are all busy with their stupid earthly lives. I sit and watch and they are so blind. What good does it do a man to run down a road if it is the wrong one. Hold tight, My little flower. You are doing my work and it is tedious. It is hard work. It is the best work to do. Do not wear yourself out talking on the phone. Plant My seeds and be on your way. Others must do their own seeking of Me. You only lead them to the water. You do not have to stand around and see if they will drink or not and prompt them to do so. They must read My messages and come to Me for their feeding. You do not feed your brothers all their food. You plant the seeds. They come to Me and they are fed by Me. Hold tight to all you are doing. It is hard, hard work. I am giving you strength. Each day is a day s work, indeed. No one but I knows how much work you do in a day. You have touched a lot of hearts in one day. Be glad as each day unfolds. Be glad I am using you as My instrument to reach many. Know that this is work. You should be tired at the end of the day. I am your God and I love you, My little one. I play the organ at Mass with you. I love the music. I love people to sing. It is of great comfort to Me and My Mother for

31 20 Shepherds of Christ all the singing. Keep singing and playing. It is so soothing to our hurt Hearts. I love to hear My children sing. I love you all so much! Keep spreading My word and doing My work. You feel tired because it is indeed work, but I will supply you with extra energy and blessings for all you do. I need you to do this work for Me. You always bounce back and go full steam ahead. That is Me! All of a sudden you are refreshed and wonder what happened. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, but I have all the power. The very hairs of your head are numbered. I give you strength when you are doing My work. Oh, how I love you. I am pleased with your work. Your weariness is worth it. I will give you a bath in My love and you will go and feel like flying. I am your love, little, one. Thank you.

33 22 Shepherds of Christ August 16, 1995 Jesus speaks: My dear sweet ones in the nursing homes in America, I am writing to you this day to tell you of My tender love for you, My beloved ones. I am waiting for your time with Me. You have so many hours in the day, but so few talk to Me and tell me of their pain, their sorrow, their joys, their love. I am waiting to be so close to your heart and know all the little details of your day. Tenderly, I wait by your bed to talk to you. Do you feel Me forever with you, sweet ones? Are you cold? Do you feel tired and old? Do you want someone to love you and tell you they care for you? I care for you! I love you so much. I wait for you every second and you do not talk to Me. You are not old - you are living and growing every day in your life with Me. This is a special time for Me to be with you. All day we can share our love, deeper and deeper. The FatherÕs plan is for you to have this special time to grow in your love of God. This is a special gift given to you this day. As you spend more time with Me, talking to Me every day, you will know that I am truly your best Friend. Oh, you will never have a friend as I want to be to you. I love you, I love you, I love you, My dear, dear, little beloved children of the Father. You are living in your heart when you live in My Heart. You are exactly where you are to be. You are given this gift to grow in your love with Me.

34 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 23 Song: I am Jesus little one, I wait for you. Come to My Heart. These will be the best years of your life. This is the true treasure. It is the time you spend alone with Me every day. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am Jesus, your best Friend.

35 24 Shepherds of Christ October 9, 1999 Messenger: Our Lord has asked us to reach the nursing homes and to tell them to offer up their lives and their sufferings for the priests, the Church and the world. He wishes them to pray for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. There is a tape of nursing home messages given by our Lord and our Lady and messages from Them in a book. There is a plan for contacting nursing homes. Please call and write us for this material. Every day we will put one nursing home message on the Internet as requested by our Lord.

37 26 Shepherds of Christ October 12, 1999 Jesus speaks: I wish My nursing home messages to appear on the Internet. To the sick and housebound and to the elderly, Oh Sweet beautiful soul, I love you so much, focus on My constant presence with you. Know I am with you as a bridegoom. I am the Bridegroom of your soul. Ask your friends to bring you the Eucharist if they are able and you are able to receive because you have met all the requirements. When this is not possible make a spiritual Communion. I will come to you in a special way. I want you to love Me. I want to be one with you. I want you to give Me your heart. Say ÒSacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my heart. Immaculate Heart of Mary, I give you my heart.ó Look at My picture and My MotherÕs picture, keep them with you to look at. A prayer for taking Communion to a sick or elderly friend:

38 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 27 A Prayer for Holy Communion December 9, 1993 Messenger: As I give more and more of what I am attached to away, nobody can have a hold on me. I become, more and more, the little dependent baby in His arms. I depend on Him for everything. It is hard to let go of this to be as a little baby, dependent on Him for everything. If, when I receive Jesus, I receive God, then so, in some form, I receive the Father and Holy Spirit because how do you separate Them? And the doors to the tabernacle open wide and in it we behold Jesus, son of God, God-made-Man. His presence is to be honored, His name worshiped and adored. His glory is forever. Jesus speaks: I come as a little baby in your midst. I died out of love of you. I come to you today in Holy Communion. This is God-made-Man, Son of God, coming in your hearts to dwell with you. Do not focus on your unworthiness. Focus on His love, just for you, to come to you today. I love you so much and God is truly in your mouth. Be close to Me. Let go of yourself. Enter into total union with Me, soul to soul. Be united with Me totally in your spirit. Forget all the cares of this world and let Me dwell and work in your heart. Let me heal your weary soul. Open wide your gates and I enter in and you remain changed, never the same because Jesus Christ, Son of God, came to you and dwelt in your soul. You are my temple.

39 28 Shepherds of Christ October 13, 1999 Jesus speaks: My deal elderly, sick, homebound and all others, Today, the end of the century draws near. Soon you will be with Me in heaven. Mary appeared 82 years ago at Fatima with a message. Today I ask you, My sick children, elderly children, all children to give your hearts to Me, the New Adam, and to give your heart to Mary, the New Eve. Simply say, ÒI give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.ó I will take you into the shelter of My Heart. My Mother will protect you with her protective mantle. I love you.

40 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 29 October 18, 1999 Jesus speaks: I wish large print meditations of some rosaries in the Red Rosary Book be included in the nursing home book. I will tell My messenger which meditations so that people will hear the heartfelt love We have for them. I wish the Nursing Home Ministry to expand. I have given directions to My messenger.

41 30 Shepherds of Christ October 20, 1999 Jesus speaks: My dear child, You are the FatherÕs child when you are 80 years old. See yourself as the little child of Mary. Feel that love of the Father and your Mother Mary. Pray the Our Father. Pray: THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. Pray the Hail Mary often. Pray 9 Hail MaryÕs when you are feeling worried and ask Mary for help. Pray a decade of the rosary, I will teach you. If that is too much, pray 5 Hail MaryÕs.

42 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 31 October 21, 1999 Mary speaks: My nursing home loved ones, Today I wish you to pray as never before. Offer your suffering to Jesus. Today I wish you to meditate on the Crowning With Thorns. Today I wish you to pray the Our Father, asking the Father that His will be done on earth. Today I wish you to use these five meditations of love, looking at my Son crowned with thorns. Pray five Hail MaryÕs in-between the meditations. Recite the Our Father. I am Mary, I love you to pray the rosary, the Our Father and the Hail Mary. Pray for the priests, the Church, the world and The Shepherds of Christ intentions. I love you. I am Mary.

50 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 39 October 26, 1999 Jesus speaks: Please pray the rosary. If you can pray 5 Hail MaryÕs and an Our Father before and after, with these rosary meditations, it will help you to know My love. If you can pray the whole rosary and read meditations, little books and rosaries are available. There are tapes of rosaries in which I speak to you. I love you so much. Mary would like you to pray the rosary. Look at Our picture. Please pray and offer it up for the priests, the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

51 40 Shepherds of Christ October 27, 1999 Jesus speaks: My chosen ones, Today I come to you with My Heart of love. I want you to know that I love you and that I died for you. Today I want you to know I wait for you and I am God. I do not want you to feel you are alone, I want you to feel My constant presence with you. Say you are sorry and make peace with all. Division in your heart hurts you. Even if they will not make peace with you, forgive them. You must forgive. Go to Confession. Tell Me and tell a priest your sins. Confession is good for your soul, but donõt blame yourself for everything. I want you to feel peace in your heart. Many times the devil makes you feel guilty in the wrong way when you sin. If you say you are sorry, if you are willing to forgive, if you tell them and Me and try to make amends, do not focus on your sin or you will not move ahead and shed My light to your brothers. You are to be a light to the dark world and be rooted in My love. DonÕt get stuck in not forgiving yourself, this is poison. Admit the truth, recognize your sins, look inside and find the instances that you have failed to forgive and forgive, then be about spreading My light, being docile and humble, remembering your sins, but remembering My forgiveness and love, forgiving others and loving them as I love you. I love you, Jesus.

I wish the Shepherds of Christ to have the building for the work I began at Fatima and to pray for the priests as my Son, Jesus, has requested. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is to help renew the Church and the world.

54 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 43 October 30, 1999 Jesus speaks: My beloved senior apostles, You must forgive those who offend you. Walk in truth. You must be true to yourselves, asking God to forgive you for your sins and coming and asking forgiveness of those you have offended. Love must permeate your every action. The Father gives great grace for love. Do not hide the truth, you take your problems to Me. I am always there. I love you so much. Jesus

55 44 Shepherds of Christ October 31, 1999 Jesus speaks: My dear sweet ones, I want you to see your heavenly Father. He created you so beautiful. He gave you talents. All this time He has been with you. He is the most loving Father. He gave Me, Jesus, as a sacrifice for you. Do you know how hard it would be to give your son as a sacrifice for someone? The heavenly Father gave Me as a sacrifice for your sins and the sins of all men so you could be with Me forever in heaven. Your Time is So Short November 9, :45 a.m. Jesus speaks: My dear child, you must turn yourself over entirely to Me. Oh, child, I am your Savior. Do not ever doubt Me. Always count on My being present to you. The days go by with such rapidness, you will soon be with Me forever in heaven. Everyone only sees each moment as it is occurring now. There is an end to all of this and your reward waits for you. It seems hard to think of this as ever ending, but time is so short, little one. Soon all this will be over. Fight a good fight for Me. You need to help all you can to know of Me. Keep remembering that these days will not go on forever, that this life is so short compared to all eternity. Some day you will truly be with Me in heaven. Your life is so

56 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 45 short compared to eternity. Here today, gone tomorrow. All that remains is how you choose to live, for God or against God! You are responsible for all your time and your actions and how you live in service of Me. It sounds simple but people alive on earth in sin cannot see anything else but what they are doing now. Satan blinds you into thinking this life will go on and on when, in fact, it is so short compared to eternity, just a short while. It is so easy to see. Why do you get so caught up in this life here? It is so short. The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, and your life is over and eternity awaits. Do these short moments mean so much to you? Listen to Me, little one. Time is so short. My light is at hand. My time is so precious because it determines your eternal life. So short, indeed. Heed My word and listen to My voice. What you do, how you act, are so small when compared to eternity! This is no laughing matter. It is your soul that is at stake. It is your life forever and ever. Is a few years of life, holding on to such insignificant stuff worth all eternity? My life for you is so simple. Love God, love one another. Put Me first and all falls into line! So simple, but so hard for so many precious little ones. I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter of My law will pass away. Here today, gone tomorrow, and I am your God. Come to me and all will be brought to light! He made the crooked ways straight and He nourished their souls. Listen. You do not know the glories that await him who serves the Lord. Hold tight to Me, little one. Hold tight to Me and receive a divine reward forever. May My name be exalted in heaven and on earth. The trumpet blares and the Lord ascends His throne. All know His glory. Their lives were not in vain who served Him while in their lives. Their rewards are as golden gems whose splendor no one can comprehend.

57 46 Shepherds of Christ Heaven and earth may vanish like smoke, but your deeds will not be forgotten. Store up treasures in the life hereafter by doing good works. Keep your eyes on your Father in heaven, Who waits and loves you so. All will be made open in the end and your life will be spent in the hereafter. What a reward for such a short test! Messenger: Oh, Jesus, praise to You from the heights. You are so good and loving. We trust in You and Your mercy. Alleluia. Alleluia. Jesus speaks: I love you so much, your heavenly Father is with you now. He is fathering you. He is always with you. Do not be afraid. Be His little child. You can be with Me now. Tell God you are sorry for all your sins. Go to Confession if possible and pray now. Offer your life as a sacrifice for others. Offer your life for the Church, the priests and the world. What you do today can help so many souls. I will forgive you for everything you did if you ask Me. Catholics with mortal sins should go to Confession to be forgiven through the Sacrament, but in your heart now ask for forgiveness. I want you with Me for all eternity. I love you so much. You must pray and do sacrifices by offering up your day to Me. Pray all day for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

So many were taught to not get close because they were hurt by those who should have loved them. You can trust Me. I will never hurt you. What I give you is for a greater good. If I allow you to suffer, you must know that if you accept it and work with the suffering according to the FatherÕs will, it will lead you to greater life. Now accept the fact you are not perfect.

Will you offer your life as a sacrifice to help save souls? My beloved, you are precious to Me. Sing A Song from Jesus all day. It is My song for you. I request the tapes made from My songs recorded by My messenger be circulated to those in nursing homes. I wish tape recorders be given to nursing home members. Tell them to request them for Christmas presents, then Shepherds of Christ can provide tapes of these songs and messages as gifts for them. Tell them tapes are available just for nursing homes. I wish the taped sessions for nursing home people be made available as I originally requested with the booklets for those in nursing homes. I wish booklets of nursing homes messages be made available or small little books as the elderly prayer manual be made available for them with the messages in large print. 8 1/2 x 11 books can be made with soft covers and stapled as a magazine-type size. I want to reach the nursing homes. I want them to have the pictures of My Sacred Heart

Tell them to keep them in their rooms and give their hearts and their rooms and the place they live to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. Wherever you speak in nursing homes, bring a small picture and ask if you can leave it there. Consecrate that home and room to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart and spread holy water. Always begin every session with, ÒI give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you, in love.ó Teach them to say it often. Tell them to say it to each other, it will bring them greater peace and love. Give them an 8 1/2 x 11 paper with it on. Put it at the beginning of all nursing home books in large print. I love you so much. Your leaders for the nursing home are Rev.

My Heart is consumed with love for you. My Mother cries to you for her children. Many are suffering and in sin. See the weeping Mother beneath My cross. Now I come to you. I ask you to see Me hanging on the cross. To My death I loved you and I gave My life for souls. Now I ask you to see Me coming forth from the tomb victorious at the Resurrection. The Victory is in Me. I want you to offer all your little activities as a prayer for all the souls on the earth. Your life offered as a prayer, a sacrifice, just the little things you do, done in love, offered to the Father can help save souls. They are hurting. Will you help Me? I have given you this time in your life to draw you closer to Me and My love for you. Oh beautiful child of the Father, I love you so much and long to be with you for all eternity in heaven.

69 58 Shepherds of Christ November 13, 1999 Jesus speaks: My dear sweet ones, I long to write you this letter. I love you so much. I want you to know how I wait for our moments alone together. As you breathe, as your heart beats, I am with you, always with you. You are never alone. You are My chosen ones to be here. You have such time to be with Me. I wait for this time when you talk to Me and tell Me of your love. I am so attentive to your every need. I never, ever, leave you. As your heart beats each beat, I am with you. Will you be with Me, My beautiful ones? Will you be with Me this moment? I ask you to suffer with Me. As I died on the cross, as I suffered at the pillar, as I sat crowned and mocked, I ask you to suffer with Me. It is in this suffering you will have new life. Suffering leads to life - My Life, Divine Life, vibrancy in your soul! What good is it if a man would gain the whole world and lose his soul? You have been given a great gift in your sufferings in this time you spend here in the nursing home. I am asking you to use this time to prepare yourself more and more for the award that is to come. You will be forever with Me in heaven. Eternal bliss, everlasting life, deep, deep union, in love with Me. Oh, My child, the Father created you all so special, so unique, with such love. No person can love like you. You were created to know, love and serve God. God wants your love this day. The Father loves you with the deepest love.

70 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 59 with you. He wants to be alive in you. Oh child, oh child, your time here is so important. Will you pray for this world in such darkness? Souls will be lost forever and ever. Will you pray for your brothers in darkness? Will you pray so fervently for our priests, My special anointed sons? I, Jesus Christ, call you today and ask you to pray for the priests. One priest fixed on the love of My Sacred Heart can spread such love to this world. One priest fixed to My Eucharistic Heart can lead souls to the power in this world that will renew many hearts. I am truly present in the consecrated Host. When people are joined to Me in the Eucharist, miracles will happen. Oh please, I beg, beg, beg you to offer your days for the priests. You are so important to the plan of the Father. Doing His will offered with the Sacrifice of the Mass is a most powerful prayer. Pray for Our priests, My beloved ones - it is through them many hearts will be led to the light. Pray for the souls in purgatory. If you offer up your day to the Father in union with the Masses being said throughout the world, you are doing so much work for the Father. You are such a big part of this plan. I love you so much and I am forever with you this day. Minute-by-minute, second-by-second, as you breathe, I am forever with you. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me. I love you My sweet, sweet ones, and one day we will be forever together in the courts of heaven with the Father and the Holy Spirit, joined in such union. You will be with Mary and all the angels and saints. I love you so much. I am Jesus, your beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul.

I want you to know how real I am, I write to you this personal love letter that you will keep it with you and hear Me speak.

Pray for my SonÕs Movement and all the intentions of the Shepherds of Christ. I love you, I am your Mother, Mary.

75 64 Shepherds of Christ November 18, 1999 Jesus speaks: The years go by with such swiftness and there is a tenderness in your heart from remembering the beauty of each season. I ask you to envision a Christmas tree, a snow-covered tree as it bends low from the weight of the snow on its branches. See some children at play on a snow-covered bank. See the same children at the close of a sunny autumn day on that same hill, covering themselves with brightly colored leaves. One way one day, another way the next day. One season yielding to the next season. You see a beautiful body of water, a crystal lake adorned with spring trees. You see this same place with the autumn that changes the appearance with awesome beauty and the same place with the snow cropped up around the edge of the lake and the heavy branches of the trees bowing low from the weight of the snow, surrounding the lake with beauty and grace. You see a wooded land covered with spring trees of glorious beauty, you see the fall days of beauteous color, you see the snow-capped trees with a soft white lustrous touch. And My children, you do not control such things, it is the hand of the Creator that paints the field with a mystical brush of love. I have given to My messenger the vision of the beauty of a celestial aura that has covered My sanctuary at certain times. I give to you this vision. Picture the lights of heaven as

76 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 65 a celestial veil of little gold dust, as snowflakes so close together and a veil of dense little mystical snowflakes covering the sanctuary where the Lord is in the Eucharist exposed or at the Consecration of the Mass. See the wind blow and in the spring the petal flowers are blowing as little flakes of snow in a wooded part of the land. See the little white snowflakes come down creating this aura of mystical beauty. See the little leaves from Aspen trees blowing down from above as little snowflakes to grace the beautiful land. Oh My children, I show you the lights of heaven, I describe here the aura which appeared in two of the great visions I gave to My messenger. The last of the three visions in April 1996, and the vision of August 13, 1996, before the rosary at TomÕs farm. Excerpt from September 27, 1999 Daily Message April 9, 1996 Messenger: After Communion I had this immense presence of God. I knew a vision was coming. My vision gets a certain way. The distinct lines I see before me begin to disappear and are smudged with light. Then I saw again the celestial lights of heaven. It was as though light was spilled from heaven and landed on the flowers and the corners of everything. The Eucharist took on an immense warmth and I knew God truly present in this room. I saw with eyes unveiled in my soul and in the room. The room had a celestial aura, it no longer looked defined and clear. It was bathed in a gentle, celestial film and all I saw

77 66 Shepherds of Christ I wanted to tell to those around me. But I was so caught in His embrace that my mouth did not want to move. Grace is being spilled on the earth. I have seen this celestial light come upon the altar of sacrifice, the monstrance and the cross. The vision on March 26 (1996) I will never forget as long as I live. The light is so thick and so intense as if the heavens open in these cracks of light and there is a depth far beyond that which any mind can envision. The sky opened up and it rained down its grace. It opens when hearts are one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. (end of March 26, 1996 description) Excerpt from August 12, 1999 Daily Message The next morning of the 13th of August Mary appeared again in the same place for several hours in the same exact setting in that white light in the darkened Sorrowful Mother Chapel in the corner. In the late afternoon of the 13th, I would go to the Sorrowful Mother Chapel again. The Eucharist was exposed and the whole front of the chapel was covered with a celestial aura and she appeared again. This time the light and the aura were a golden light, almost like a gold glistening veil across the whole front of the chapel in front of the exposed Eucharist and before Mary. I did not want to leave there. I drove to the rosary at TomÕs farm... Jesus speaks: I show you a mystical veil of light, looking as little minute golden snowflakes, an aura of mystery, a beauty beyond words, a veil to cover the hard cold reality of a hardened

78 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 67 world so straight and hard, almost seemingly unable to bend or surrender. The hard must bend to the soft, the darkness must give way to the light. On that day, you arose with your busy schedule and you were stopped by the white sparkling veil of a fallen snow that covered the earth a foot deep, and you saw the beauty of it as it came down, so gentle and sweet. Your eyes were awed by its beauty, your body stiff when, because of an act of the Creator, you could not carry out your busy schedule. And if it were up to you, you may want to run today and milk the cow, operate the fax, talk of the productivity to the earth, and yet, because of some limitations now, you are confined to your bed. The dawning of a new day is that of surrender to the will of God. It can be the freshly fallen snow that has stopped you. It can be cancer that is killing you and has taken over your body, any illness or your old age. You might be confined to bed, or a chair, or you just canõt do much physically. Whatever it is, it is the dawning of a new day. What good would it do for the woman who rises and finds a snow bank surrounding her house to curse the day? It is the act of the CreatorÕs hand you say, so He allowed it, so surrender. Do what He wills. ÒThe very hairs of your head are numbered.ó You must surrender when your body is filled with cancer. You can help so many souls and help yourselves to gain a greater reward in heaven. Is it better to surrender to those things you cannot control and stay connected to God than to become bitter? Do not fight the FatherÕs plan. Why do you not see My hand in your suffering to

79 68 Shepherds of Christ slow you down sometimes? It isnõt your ÒgadgetsÓ that are of the greatest importance, it is that you surrender to the will of God. It isnõt that your life was so important before when you were building buildings, raising your children, making millions, whatever it was you did before, and now your life is not as important. I lived a quiet life for 30 years. Today you are on the dawning of eternity. Every moment is so important to Me. Your life lived as the Father wills can help so many souls. Every moment your life is so important to the salvation of your soul and others. God is with you in the cross you are carrying. Identify with Me. Offer it up for souls. Every moment is so important to Me. Should you rage at the snow fall outside the tent and would it do you any good? The soft touch of the Creator surrounds you, the very hairs of your head as numbered. Your life today is important as were other moments of your life. You live to help yourself get to heaven and see My face and have the deepest union with Me. You live to help save souls, to love your brothers and pray for them. I laid down My life for their souls. I ask you to identify with Me. You are My hands, My feet, My Heart. Today you must live your life as it is, living within your human limitations. I ask you to come to Me, that I may use you to help the souls of the earth. I give you life, I can take it away. Always, My concern is to lead you to the deepest union with Me and for you to help save souls.

I died for My precious souls, will you not suffer for Me? Seek True Treasures February 17, :30 a.m. Jesus speaks: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care. I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future. You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going? The days go by with such speed. Oh, you say, Where have the years gone? You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived,

81 70 Shepherds of Christ My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me. Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom. You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people s lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday s forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today. Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love! If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power! Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important. Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the

82 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 71 unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself. You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today s moments, yesterday s forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important? Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it. Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn t stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday s forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end. Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many. Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday s forgotten treasure. Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

And you say, ÒOh, at my age Ñ to learn?ó, and I say the more perfected your loving ways here on earth, the greater your capacity for loving God in heaven. You were put on the earth to learn to love.

Please offer everything you do as a prayer united to the Mass, please pray for my SonÕs Movement, Shepherds of Christ, and their intentions. In so doing you are praying for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world.

Oh, my children, I love you so much. Say often, ÒI give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.ó Messenger: These cards available from Shepherds of Christ Ministries for distribution and use.

87 76 Shepherds of Christ November 23, 1999 Letter for All from Blue Book IV Jesus speaks: This letter I wish put on the Internet for my beloved nursing home patients, the ill, and all others. I come to feed the hungry. (given July 28, 1994) Messenger: To embrace You, my Lord! I want to be united as one in my soul. I want to be united as one in my heart. My heart beats with ardent love for my Savior. Such an honor! I cannot even fathom my heart being united to Yours. If You would but tuck me in a little part, a little pocket, and let me be there, let me hear the beating of your most tender Heart. Let me feel the warmth of Your love, poured out for me! Jesus speaks: Oh, My precious one, do you know this is reality? The reality of My Heart and that of My MotherÕs joined to your heart in such union? This is reality. My Heart beats as one with you in such love! Meditate on the abyss of My most Sacred Heart, it is a mighty furnace burning with such a roaring fire for love of you. Think of this union. My Heart gives the fire that burns in the hearts of those who open themselves up to Me. It is this fire that burns with love in your eyes, that is emitted from you when you are with others. Your oneness with Me if of importance to your life on this earth and the life hereafter. Strive for deepest union with Me in the burning furnace of My Heart. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, ablaze with love on fire for you. Be

88 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 77 so intimate with Me, My precious child. This intimacy I crave with every soul. Speak of My Heart ablaze for love of each soul. I want their love. Tell them I wait for them with such yearning! Note: Messenger: I saw His Heart on December 17, From the cover of Blue Book II Messenger: I saw a heart that looked like it was a furnace inside. It was bright yellow, white in the center. I am experiencing pounding in my heart. His Heart is truly beating for love of us. I felt my heart beating so hard in my chest. I knew it was from Him. Hearts donõt do what the mind is doing. This morning my heart was pounding, heart racing, I got this letter: Jesus speaks: This is My love for you. The pounding in your heart is from Me. Every second My Heart is beating with intense love of you. Even when you forget about Me,

89 78 Shepherds of Christ I am loving you with My intense love. I love you with a beating Heart, on fire for love of you. When you are lonely think of My Heart beating so strongly for love of you. Messenger: Jesus told me to put on this message also. Don t Ever Close Your Heart (excerpt) Jesus speaks: I show you My Heart, ablaze in fire, warm and kindling. I show you this Heart and you feel the heat as of an open furnace. The heart is My love. Be of the heart, My children. It is there that you learn to know Me. Let your heart be as an open door to Me. It is always open and ready to whatever I send your way. I come into your heart and I fill you with all My gifts. You were made whole. Your chest was on fire with the love of Christ and you doubted no more because such a union was unmistakable and true. The Heart of Jesus radiates power and light. It is ablaze for you every day in the Eucharist. He comes to you as a bridegroom awaiting His bride and He gives you His love. Be ready for the occasion. Anticipate the event with great eagerness. Let yourself be open and vulnerable as a new bride. Take all He gives and do not turn away. Let yourself be filled to all the gifts you receive and have His joy, which only He can give. Oh, if you could only know a little of what I have in store for you! The trumpet sounds and all glory you shall know at the appointed hour. You will be taken into My glorious kingdom and all your pain will cease. Your mind cannot even imagine what

90 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 79 you will experience. Trust in Me, My babies. My love is everlasting. It never runs cold. It only gets hotter as we grow in our love. Will you put all the things of this world aside and come to Me? Let go of yourself. Let go of any doubts. Choose Me as your Savior and let no talk that is not conducive of My trust into your mind. Know I am truth, your truth - one, true, magnificent God - Who loves you and never leaves your side. Don t ever doubt Me, even a little. You are My baby. Be a baby. Let Me rock you in My arms and you will know I am truly here with you! Your fears and doubts leave like a thief in the night and peace covers you as a warm blanket and you are filled by Me, your one, true, glorious Savior. I love you. Alleluia, Alleluia.

91 80 Shepherds of Christ November 24, 1999 Jesus speaks: My dear nursing home friends and all who are ill and all others, I Have Risen to Give New Life (excerpt) April 2, 1994 Jesus speaks: My little sweet one, no matter what you do, love for Me. Do not get bowed down, but shed My light to this dark world. Love, My sweet one. Do not argue. Do not defend yourself. Come and be in My Presence. I love you. I guard you. I watch over you. You are My beloved. This, child, is the Easter message for you and all My beloved ones. Share this with all: I have risen to give new life. Give My life to all those around you. Love My beloved ones for Me. Messenger: Alleluia. And He came and gave us strength to do the work He calls us to do, to love a dark world, one that is hurting. Jesus speaks: I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life. Alleluia.

92 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 81 November 25, 1994 (Thanksgiving Day-after Communion) Be Lost in the Heart of Jesus Jesus speaks: Let go and totally surrender. Trust Me. You can let go totally. There is always a holding back, not to let go totally, to protect yourself from being hurt. I will never forsake you. I will never abandon you. Totally release yourself into My loving Heart. Let go, total surrender, let go, let go, let go to My love. Be lost in the Heart of Jesus! Messenger: There is nothing to fear in loving God. Total trust, total surrender, totally letting go to His love. He gave His Life for you - do you think you canõt trust Him? Jesus speaks: You are never alone. Be wrapped in the immensity of My love. As your heart beats, My love is always there, it never leaves. As you breathe, My love is always there, I never take My love from you for a second. Have constant intense union with Me. Have constant realization of My immense Presence with you. My love does not flicker, it is a roaring furnace that burns for you. Do you know My dear ones that I love you so very much? You wander and roam and look for the love your souls seek and it can only be found in Me.

93 82 Shepherds of Christ November 26, 1999 Jesus speaks: I want all to listen to My songs as recorded. Please circulate the song tape so people will hear My loving songs. It will be a great comfort in their pain. Surrender to Me. Do not let your hearts be jealous or compete with your brothers. Use Your Talents (excerpt) October 3, 1993 Chicago Marian Conference 11:30 a.m. Jesus speaks: I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly.

94 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 83 Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents. Do your own work. Don t be envious of your brothers. Don t hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother s work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it. Jesus speaks: I ask you My beloved ones to give your lives in sacrifice to Me. Offer your lives, whatever you are doing, eating, sleeping as a prayer. That is a mighty work. My dear elderly and ill, I ask you to do this, to pray for the priests and the Church and the world, for My Movement, Shepherds of Christ. Please, your life offered, doing the little ordinary things, will help the souls of the earth. Love all My precious souls by praying for them. This pleases Me. I died for them. Love them. To unite to Me, you must love all. I love you so much. Love, Jesus.

95 84 Shepherds of Christ November 27, 1999 MaryÕs 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.

96 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 85 Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows. (End of August 27, 1996 message.) Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for my children in your world today. WonÕt you offer up all you do all day for the priests and the Church and the world? Love the souls. My Son Jesus gave His Life for each soul. If you love Jesus, you will love those He loves and offer your lives, your little ordinary things, as a prayer. Jesus gave His Life. He gave His flesh and His Blood. He died on the cross for all the souls. We love each of you more than any human person on this earth can. Oh my sweet children, help me, I cry to you. Please offer your little lives given as a sacrifice for the intentions of my Son Jesus and His Movement. He wants every soul with Him in heaven. Your lives today are so important to help in the salvation of souls. Live to love God and all others. Offer up all you do, sleeping, eating, and so forth, as a sacrifice for the intentions of my Son Jesus and the intentions of His Movement, Shepherds of Christ. Oh my children, I am with you every moment, in all your suffering and joy. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I watched Him die. Many of my children are dying a spiritual death. They could go to hell. Please pray for them, my precious child. Put the earth in my Heart and JesusÕ Heart. I love you so much, Mary.

97 86 Shepherds of Christ November 28, 1999 Messenger: It is our pleading cry that God grant grace to the earth and have mercy on us. We want the souls to be reached and that they quit sinning. Jesus speaks: My chosen ones, in your sufferings I release great grace to the earth when you unite everything you do every day with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. My holy ones in the nursing homes, the ill and all others, your sufferings when offered in love to God are powerful prayers. I hear your cries. I am pleased you are pleading as members of the human race and addressing Me to have mercy on you. This helps make reparation for your sins and the sins of men. Your life today is of the greatest importance to the Church and the world. Oh, please pray for them by offering up your sufferings. Pray for My Movement, Shepherds of Christ, that great grace is given to them to be able to do what I have asked them to do and that great grace is given to all to respond. I have called you. I am Jesus. I stand by your bedside. I stand by your chair. I am in your brothers. When you love them, you love Me. Praying for them is love given to all. I want this. I want you to pray that they will be one.

98 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 87 Prayer of Jesus before He suffered the bitter Passion: John 17:21 May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.

99 88 Shepherds of Christ November 29, 1999 I Know the Workings of Your Heart (excerpt) Jesus speaks: I show you My ways are hard. Come unto Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I give you rest. I give joy to the troubled soul, peace to your belabored heart. Come and be filled with Me. My presence is upon you. I love you intently. Rest, little one. I will show you your sign. You will not doubt Me again. I love you. My Hand is in Everything (excerpt) Jesus speaks: It is in acceptance of all that is before you that you grow in your relationship with Me. Do not try to throw back into My face the little opportunity for grace you receive. Child, I am ever by your side and I am ever teaching you. Accept all things as happening from Him Who loves you. Know that My hand is in everything you are experiencing. I am vigilant and by your side. Nothing happens to you that I have not consented to. Messenger: After Communion, I received this message.

100 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 89 My Child, Don t Listen to Satan Jesus speaks: You are with Me, child. Lighten up and feel My presence. I am your true Savior. I am with you in the silence. You are doing as you should. Breathe in Me and out fear. No matter what happens, you have Me as your savior and lover. All else is insignificant! Trust in Me, My little scared baby. Release all fear. Satan is the king of fear, doubt, hate, division and worry. I am the master of love and union and strength. All things work in Me. Focus on Me and My entire divine presence here. You are finally with Me, little one, all alone. What a golden opportunity and Satan is trying to create problems in your mind to keep us apart. Let go of all his prompting. Be with Me. I love you so. Your problems are nothing. I am here. I will protect you from his lies. Be with Me, little one. I love you so. Put all doubt and worry aside. I am your God and I love you so. Messenger: When we receive Jesus in the Eucharist He comes in His Divinity and Humanity. We can ask Jesus to be with us in a special way now. It is not the same as receiving the Eucharist, but He will be with us in a special way if we ask Him.

101 90 Shepherds of Christ November 30, 1999 Mary speaks: I ask you to pray the Hail Mary and meditate on every word and pray for grace for light. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you. I love you, Mary.

103 92 Shepherds of Christ December 5, 1999 I Love You to Death, Today (excerpt) November 15, After Mass Jesus speaks: I have come to give you life, not as the world gives, but as only I can give. I come, you are filled. I reach out to you, you grab My hand. The power you feel. Feel My power through your whole body. You have been touched by the hand of Jesus. Is there any question in your mind of My might? Open your eyes. My life is there and I am willing to share Myself with you. My whole life I will make known if you keep coming and sitting with Me. Oh, My passion, My child! Meditate on this every day. Think of My agony to know what would happen, to see only as God could see every detail of every event that would follow. To feel the pain before it happened and know how horrendous it would be. All the kickings, whackings, not to mention the names and slanders against God. They were doing this to God! In all My dignity and honor, I would experience such vileness and take it for love of you. My passion is a wealth of material to study. But I will reveal such things to you. The bottom line is what I suffered for love of you. I would do this today. I love you just the same. Oh, if you only knew! It feels good to tell someone when you are wronged. I was so silent. The incredible things they did and I was silent. My mother suffered so with this. She watched her beautiful baby

104 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 93 in such anguish. She was silent. Her agony was so great. She endured this for love of you. You are so loved, child. Why do you ever think you need to go anywhere for this little human love? It is nothing. My love is all encompassing. My mother loves you intently. Forget those who shun you. Who cares? You need My love. You don t need their love. Come, get My love and then give it to the unloving. Don t worry. It is freeing to love the unloving. It is drudgery to hate the unloving. It is far harder in the end to hate than to love. Just forgive them. They need help. They are willful and so sick and sad inside. They are to be pitied. They have to live with their sick ways. Forget them. You have work to do. Do My work! First forgive and forget others who are sick. Let them go entirely. Be steadfast in Me and I will talk with your tongue. You do not have to minister to any sick brothers. The more you become in Me, I minister to them through you and you do not do anything but become My servant. Open wide your gates and let Me enter. I will use you and you will not even feel their sickness directed at you. Pray to be selfless. Pray to be used. Pray to be possessed by Me. You don t even have to pray to do well in a job or in handling a situation. You don t do it. Pray to be possessed by Me. It is I, then, Who act from you. Spend time thinking about Me and My life. Don t think about others and their sick ways. Who cares? Satan can do really vile things. Focus on the remedy, not the cure. The remedy is to let Me possess your soul. I handle it all. You needn t fume or fret or become anxious. I will tell you what to eat and what clothes to put on. You are My babies, remember? Babies don t dress themselves or fix their own meals. They wait on their mothers. Be like babies. Wait on Me for the smallest details in your life. I will clothe you. I will feed you. I will comfort you. I will direct you. I will care for

105 94 Shepherds of Christ you. I will act in you. You must just be open as an open door. I go in and I fill your soul. You operate as I want you to. Have oatmeal for breakfast! I love you, little one. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. Every detail I will tend to. You live in Me and I in you. Your cares are for Me and My ways. It is I Who act for you and I Who do all things through you. You focus on Me. My life, My passion, My ways, My heart, My love, My goodness. Don t think about anybody and what they did. Just come and be with Me and let Me possess your soul.

107 96 Shepherds of Christ December 7, 1999 Refuse to Worry January 15, :50 a.m. Jesus speaks: I am Jesus, your Savior. When you are tired and weary, come to Me. I wait for you as would a doting mother, ready to kiss your little wounds and send you out to play. I love you so, little one. Come and be with Me in your heart. Do not worry about anything concerning this book. My hand is in everything and I will see to its publishing Myself. Do you fret and fume for nothing? I am God. Why should you worry for the work of God? Do you not think I will take care of My own work? I tend to everything that needs to be done in your life. You are so precious to Me. There is not one thing that happens that I have not consented to. To be able to be in the midst of adversity and struggle and say, God s hand is here and He knows what is happening; I will let go of my anxiety and be at peace, is to reach a great plateau of trust in Me! Trust in Me in all your trials. Refuse to worry. What good does such a needless task perform? If I am God and I am there in every moment of your life and you truly believe it, what are you doing letting yourself worry? Child, I have so much love for you that I died on the a cross for you. Look at Me there. I spread My arms and came for you. I love you this much, this very day. How do I make you realize how much you mean to Me? Well, I am here in everything you are experiencing. There is not one thing that happens without

108 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 97 My consent. Do you hear Me? Think of one of your little hairs falling out. I am that hyper-vigilant. I know whence that hair came. I know the very pore on your head it fell from. If I, Jesus, am that attentive to you and everything that is happening with you, what are you doing worrying? It is your trust and faith in Me that gives you peace. Practice letting go on all matters. Refuse to worry. Place every care in My hands and trust I will tend to it. You, My child, are so precious. I want you to know how I am truly there, loving you and watching you and guarding you. I watch you like a doting mother lest you stumble and fall and lose your way. In that little trial, practice turning it over to Me. Trust in Me. It is an act of your will to truly trust Me or to worry about your problem. Listen to Me saying, Child, I love you, child, I am love, child, don t worry. Turn your burden over to Me. You can be free of worry if you let go. Sail away in your hot air balloon. Drop the package of worries at the foot of My cross and sail away in a trouble-free sky. You are lifted to such heights in My love! I am so powerful. I can do all things. I am working in your life at every moment. I never leave you abandoned. Take this opportunity to get closer to Me. It is in your trials you are taught how to trust. Do not curse the dark nights. Come to Me and let Me light your way. Take each trial as an opportunity to get closer to Me. Ascend the ladder to trust in the Lord. You develop trust a step at a time. Trust must be developed by you. Pray that you will learn all the lessons on trust I am sending you. You are so favored, My little sweet one. I love you. I love you. I love you. Come to Me weary and leave carefree. Only I can take a burdened heart and give it rest. Do not go to your brothers and

109 98 Shepherds of Christ complain. Keep reading My letters to you (December 30, 1993). Know which letters are those that set you free of worry. Note: In His December 30 letter He said, It is in acceptance of all things that you are drawn closer to Me. Do not try to throw back into My face the little opportunity for grace you receive. Child, I am ever by your side and I am ever teaching you. Know that My hand is in everything you are experiencing. I am vigilant and by your side. Nothing happens to you that I have not consented to. I love you. Trust in Me. Messenger: Jesus, I trust in You! Jesus speaks: Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I am there with you. Turn to Me. Turn to Me alone and I will give you rest. Oh, you, who are heavily burdened, I will give you rest!

It is your taking each little step that counts. Ascend My steps each day, every day. A million times a day you can trust or worry. You choose, Do I trust or not trust? How could you not trust after all I did to prove My love for you? Focus on My passion, on My wounds, on My love, on Me, the one, true God, Who loves you this much! You are precious to Me, My little baby. Come and let Me comfort you. Lose yourself in My arms. And they came and they were given His peace and love deep in their souls.

119 108 Shepherds of Christ December 10, 1999 Jesus speaks: I beg you to put My message of December 10, 1993, here for My Nursing Home - Satan-Like a Worm in an Apple Satan - Like a Worm in an Apple December 10, :34 a.m. Jesus speaks: Come and let Me write to you. I awoke you from your sleep to be with you. I am your precious Jesus and I come in the night to tell you My word. Today I want to tell you about people. Your brothers are in need of your prayers. No longer be angered by their actions. They are sick. If Satan has infiltrated their life, they do not even know it. They continue down a dark path to destruction. One person can do so much good or so much damage. Once Satan comes on the scene and acts out of another, great damage can be done. Satan works like a worm in an apple: he burrows in and keeps attacking the apple. He will go as far as he can. Finally, the whole apple becomes rotten. He burrows his way to the core. It is in the beginning when people agree to little sins that he gets in. He is no good. He is hungry to zap every last bit of life from you. It is the same way when you allow Me to possess your soul. I operate from you to love and give to those around you. It is I Who loves and acts through you. A person in darkness has Satan acting in him. He thinks he is free but he is a slave to Satan. How sad to be overtaken by Satan.

120 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 109 Satan is debased. No evil is bad enough for him. The more you move away from Me, the more he gets in and uses you. His works are cunning and crafty. His game is deception, twisting the truth, outright lies, division and real heartache. When I enter your soul, your heart is nourished and plump and red. It beats as a healthy heart and I dwell there and operate from you. I love and act to your brothers. Be of a clean heart, America. Turn back to the commandments. The first commandment alone would change your lives. I am the Lord, thy God. Thou Shalt not have strange gods before Me! If all turned their wills and their lives over to Me we would have a world of love and caring and kindness. Why do people act this way? Why do they let Satan in? Satan convinces you. You are being cheated and you must do some selfish act. He talks in your head and his reasoning is very convincing. He works on your feelings and tells you you are being treated unfairly. He works you up. You decide to rectify the wrong and then you act. He stirs up hate and anger in the heart. Oh, little ones, please guard your hearts. Be careful what you agree to take in. Will you listen to Satan and his ugly, selfish words or listen to Me. It is when Satan attacks that you need to recognize his paralyzing grip and cast him out in My name. Recognize it is he who is interrupting your calm life. He comes like a whirlwind and stirs up your life. There is instant chaos. That, dear ones, is Satan. Who else could do such a work of evil art? You have to be strong and recognize that what is happening is of him. He comes like a thief in the night to steal the hearts fixed on God. He wants your hearts. He wants your wills. He wants to operate you. He is cunning and debased. When an attack occurs, identify it as from Satan and cast him out. This is so hard. He is really gripping you. Pray hard and get him out. He plans to divide you and trip you up. How does it

121 110 Shepherds of Christ happen so quick? How can you be called so quickly to an argument? It is very easy for Satan. He gets you when you are tired and hungry. He knows what will get to you. He is so cunning. He baits you for his kill and then you wonder what happened. Like a whirlwind, he blows no good. He enters and sweeps away your good works and you feel so empty inside. You must see his work as soon as it begins. When you are at peace and chaos starts, it is he. Pray hard, "Jesus, Jesus." Pray, focus on ME and My beautiful love for you. See Me bleeding on the cross! You can ward off his nasty, nasty tricks. They are not nice. I love you from the bottom of My heart. Let Me operate you, little one. Open wide the gates of your heart to Me. Constantly offer your life as a prayer. Your prayers today will save your brothers. I want to use you to do My work. I want to love through you. It is in loving we are made whole. It is in Christ's presence we are happy. Watch out for the Evil One. He aims to trip you up. If you love Me, he hates Me and wants you to be joined to him. It is a battle to gain your soul! You are finished My child. I love you intently. Go back to bed.

123 112 Shepherds of Christ December 11, 1999 Mary speaks: Nursing home residents, my dear children, I love you so much, please help me reach my children. Your lives are so short. You can be my prayer apostles offering up all you do for my little ones of the earth that have gone astray. This Christmas, give to me and Jesus this Christmas present. Offer your lives as a prayer, offering up sufferings and irritations to help save souls. My nursing home children, Jesus wants you to live your lives to help to save souls. You can do this by offering your everyday activities as a prayer. Sleeping, eating, trying to do it for Jesus, for souls. Pray for your priests, the Church and the world. Pray for my SonÕs Movement, Shepherds of Christ. Be a prayer apostle my beloved, living, sitting in your chair, just doing your everyday living, but offering it up as a prayer.

124 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 113 Mary speaks: Oh, I am Our Lady of Guadalupe. Tomorrow is my feast under this title. Remember my appearances to Juan Diego. I cry out to you my nursing home children. Your lives are so important to Jesus, you can help so much. Please help me any way you can. Help me. My children, please help me. My children are suffering and many may go to the eternal flames of hell. Your prayers can help them. I love you, I am Mary your Mother.

125 114 Shepherds of Christ December 12, 1999 I Come First, Child December 10, Funeral at St. Lawrence before Mass Messenger: I was at church to play the organ at a family funeral. It was a new organ for me and I had not yet practiced two songs. He told me to come to Him and forget the music. I was ashamed that I wanted to put the music before Him. He said, "When I call, you come." Jesus speaks: Come to Me! Stop it, I tell you. Don't run amok. I want to be alone with you and you are to come and be with Me. I love you with such intensity. Sit awhile with Me and let Me fill your soul. In this silence your heart is at unrest. You are busy in silence. What a sad heart! I am here and you are busy. I want you to put Me first, to put aside your music. This is your time with Me. "Well," you say, "Who cares? The Lord calls me now. For You, Lord, I would drop everything and come and run." That is the love I bid you to share with Me! My calling you, your responding without the slightest hesitation. Do you know now what I want? I want your love committed to Me first, last and always. When I call you, come, not in a little while, but right away and bid My call! I can make the heavens fall from the sky if I choose. Would you make Him Who has all the power wait on you when He calls? I am calling you now to life with Me. I fill your troubled soul and you see things from My perspective and not your own. I have all the power. What do you have to worry for? I can make it work or not work. I must be first. You must harken to My call and surrender everything to Me. Surrender this

126 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 115 work to Me and let Me do it. Do you trust, child, or do you think you are in control? I want your time now. You are telling Me that I am first. Do not hold on to anything when I call. I come and you must come when I beckon you. You have brought Me much joy because you came. I love you so. I want so much to have time alone in front of the tabernacle with you. You crave this time now but you tell yourself you must be focused on something else. I come first, child-first, last and always. Drop your cares and run to Me when I call thee. Oh little one, make My heart happy with you. Surrender totally to Me. Trust and let Me play the Mass. You needn't fret and fume. I am God and I dwell in you. You move about but I operate you when you surrender. I want this surrender. Let go of the last songs and see if I do them. Be with Me now, little one, in My house, the house of your youth. Many memories are here for you. Feel your past and come to Me and share your heart. I love you. Oh, I love you. We are alone here. Come in Communion with Me. Let all go and be with Me! Your Savior, Jesus, the Son of God.

127 116 Shepherds of Christ December 13, 1999 Messenger: It is through His pierced Heart that the sacramental life of the Church was formed: water, a symbol for baptism; blood, a symbol of the Eucharist. We are given His divine life in baptism. We are fed through His very own Body and Blood. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces and His life flows through her Heart. It is through Mary's Heart that we are dispensed this life, merited by Her Son as He gave His life on the cross.

128 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 117 December 14, 1999 Take Your Bottle November 21, :10 a.m. Jesus speaks: Come to Me, you little babies, all who are weary and heavily burdened, and I give you rest. Rest, not as the world gives you rest, but in Me, your divine maker. Oh, ye wander and ye wait in a valley filled with tears and heartaches, but I say know this, little babies: I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I am here. I am not off somewhere while you trudge this valley alone. I am right in your midst. You do not see Me but you know I am truly real and I am with you. You needn't worry or fume about while you are here. I go every step with you on your way! It isn't as if you are forgotten and you plead and I come sometimes and sometimes I don't. I am here by your side. I am always with you. You need only stop and you will feel My presence with you.

129 118 Shepherds of Christ December 15, 1999 I Am the Divine Healer October 24, 1993 Jesus speaks: I am the divine dresser. I dress the fields and adorn them in a covering of frost. People go out and wonder how this just appeared, as if the cold covers your fields. But I make the grass turn white. Nothing happens in this world without My knowing it. I am this personal with you. I know more about your body than you do. I can heal a stubbed toe in an instant or I can leave it broken. Oh, child, why do you fret? Why do you not believe it is in Me you are made whole? I make the sun shine and the moon give its lights. I make the stars shine for you and you wonder what you must control next. You, child, control nothing. I am by your side constantly and I make all things work for you. Turn all your little most insignificant problems over to Me. I love you, child. I will tend to them. This is My promise and I am God. I am true. I am He Who loves you. Come and be filled by My goodness. No man can fill you as I do. I love you. Jesus speaks: I am with you this Christmas. I love you so much.

131 120 Shepherds of Christ December 16, 1999 Mary Is Our Mother December 16, 1993 Jesus speaks: Little one, you will not escape My time with you. I want to be joined to you in a special way. It is My love for you that drives you to this union. I am soft and gentle in heart. I am present in adversity. I am Jesus, little girl, Son of the One True God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. God is One in Three. I am He Who speaks to you. Power. I have it all. Let your heart never be troubled for I am with you on your way. Throw doubt and worry and useless thinking out the window. I guard you lest you stumble and fall, but you walk alone with Me up the hill to glory. May the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be praised in their names. God is Great in all His divinity and might. He is the one to be exalted. At His name all knees must bend to the almighty and His power is endless. This is a special right for you as you approach the 17th day. You will feel this specialness to us, Jesus and Mary, as to a pair united in a special way and present to deliver these messages. Pray for grace now. I am calling you from the darkness to the light. Your heart is made light by the love I impart to you now. Feel it enter your soul. Nothing else matters. Focus no more on your pain. Focus on your joy for each of Us. Messenger: Amen, Amen. Alleluia, Praise the Lord! Jesus speaks: You are being blessed by the Trinity and Mary. Feel the blessing, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Specialness for you alone from Us. Praise the Father, Son, Holy Ghost and the Blessed Lady. You are entwined in their love. Alleluia. Unity and power is here. Will you come whence I call you,

132 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 121 child? Come and feel the unity between a Son and His mother. Very strong, very powerful, indeed! You will know a new dimension in the life of the Son, His love for His Mother. Alleluia, Alleluia. Messenger: Mary, come and answer my plea to do Jesus' work for me. I am guided by this prompting. It is not of me. It is a prayer you write in my hand. Hold me. Bless me. Watch over me as a loving mother. I am a little child and I look for my mother. She heals my ills and cares for me like a mother. Oh, Mary, to know you! I am so empty of my closeness to you. Fill my heart with knowledge and love of you. Bless me as a mother by your hand. The mother of all! Oh, mother, great are you. Thanks for your motherly call. Specialness I feel to this union between Son and Mother, to know the loving Son, Jesus. Oh, Jesus, how You loved Your mother. Alleluia. To know Jesus, we must know the love that exists between Him and His mother. He has given her to us as our mother. She is truly our loving mother. Note: When we sit in front of the tabernacle, He does not communicate just with words. He may change us internally. He gives us our supplies. He does not need words. We do not know what He gives us when we sit in front of the tabernacle in silence. He gives us gifts in our heart: healing, opening us up, wisdom. We may not hear His voice or feel what He is doing, but He is giving us our supplies that we need to grow in Him. He doesn't have to speak. We still get gifts we do not know by His presence.

In this 9 day novena I want your focus to be peace and love. Christmas is to celebrate the great gift God gives to this earth. Oh that the devil would be cast into hell forever. You, my children, many of you give him your power. Oh, my children, you must obey God. Oh, my children, I cry for the children, many of my children are going into hell for their sins. My children, I CRY TO THEE. I appear here in Clearwater, Florida, as the Lady Clothed with the Sun. I love you, Mary. Jesus speaks: I want this to be a celebration of LOVE. Show your Father that you are loving children, united, living to serve God, to walk in His name. I LOVE YOU, JESUS

134 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 123 December 20, 1999 You are Special (excerpt) November 28, :30 a.m. Jesus speaks: Jesus speaks: But God can love you, only as God can, in a divine way. God's love never falters. It never changes. It is not good today and not so good tomorrow. It is the same as the day He chose to be born and die for love of you! Oh you, so precious of the Father, out of love of the Holy Spirit, I was born to give you life, life eternal, life forever. Why would you go to a human and ask, "How am I doing? Was I good today?" Go to God. Ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you, seek and you shall find. My love is endless, unbounded. I proved your worth and value by My birth, death and resurrection. Do you need more than this to convince yourself of your value? Oh, little ones, come and forget yourselves. You need not ever try to measure your worth again. Come and be alive in Me. Love Me. Be busy about this task. Forget yourself. Your value has been proven by Me. Be busy about your union with Me. Forget your unworthiness, your recognition. Forget yourself. Die to yourself that you may truly live. Go about being aware of My love for you. Dwell on how I, God, want to be close and united to you. Forget your lowliness, focus on My love. Your value was and is established by My love. Your job is to concentrate on this love.

136 Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound 125 December 22, 1999 Mary speaks: Recite the Magnificat often Luke 1:46-55 The Magnificat And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; because he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant. Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed, for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name, and his faithful love extends age after age to those who fear him. He has used the power of his arm, he has routed the arrogant of heart. He has pulled down princes from their thrones and raised high the lowly. He has filled the starving with good things, sent the rich away empty. He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his faithful love --according to the promise he made to our ancestors-- of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.
