Rita Ring came from what might be termed a religious family. No big deal, but the relations were sprinkled rather liberally with nuns and priests. So daily Mass came naturally to Rita early in her life, and she just continued it on to adulthood.

Rita led what might be called a comfortable middle class life, had four children: two graduated from college, two at home. Her husband was a successful businessman and Rita taught mathematics at the University of Cincinnati. Not a bad life in suburbia.

But in 1991, some personal problems developed which bothered her enough that she determined to ask and ask strongly for God to help her. She openly wondered what she should be doing for Him that she had not been doing. She asked that question of Jesus in front of the tabernacle. She asked Him to tell her what to do. And she asked day after day after day. Nothing. Jesus told her nothing. But she visited Him in the tabernacle after Mass, and periodically at other times of the day, just about every day. She took to sitting at times saying nothing, waiting for an answer.

Then suddenly, about 18 months after her prayers for help had begun, she heard the words, "Feed My Lambs." Again and again she heard those words. Knowing that her own children and the rest of the family seemed healthy enough, she had no clue as to what that phrase meant. She would soon find out that the feeding had to do with getting Jesus' "letters" to His people, letters which He would dictate inside Rita's heart as fast as she could transcribe them onto writing paper.

In short order, Rita and her life were transformed. She received word to begin to get the messages published. She even got the name of the priest to seek out, Father Leroy Smith at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

Rita's daily "letters" come mostly from Jesus, a few of them from Our Lady. They address a wide variety of ills in society but especially berate the lack of respect that Jesus receives in the Blessed Sacrament. He stresses spending time with Him, time with Him, over and over again. He mourns the lack of love from His chosen ones, His priests. He teaches us, through Rita, about our need to love one another.
