Musts: Daily Mass, Adoration After Communion

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 15, 1994 4:00 a.m.

Jesus speaks: I was bruised, I was bloodied, I was beaten. I withstood all this for love of you. Do you still think you are alone? I go with you where you go. I never leave your side. I lead and you follow. You are attentive to the inner promptings in your breast. I am ever ready for you to do exactly what I call you to do.

    You are losing your intimacy with Me because you are not spending time alone with Me after Communion. This is our time together. You must never be led away from this time.

    My union with you is most important. I am telling you that the Mass and adoration after Communion are musts every day. I am present in a way that you do not get at any other time. You must be absolutely alone in front of the tabernacle after Mass. Sit and lose yourself in My love. Focus only on My love. Satan is trying to keep you from Me at this most special moment. Concentrate on Me and only think of Me, pouring My love out to you. Be as if taking a bath in My love. Let Me fill you to the brim. You are alone with Me but you are missing your time after Communion. This is a must in your life!

    I am Who am. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I come to you, My sweet one, with the greatest love. You are My sweet messenger. Trouble not your mind as I am ever by your side. Things will work for I go before you in all your undertakings. Listen to the promptings in your heart and be attentive to all I disclose to you there. Quiet Satan who constantly taunts your mind. He wants you to become frightened and turn away. You must know this is My work.

    Nothing will stop My work here! You are being blessed in your relationship to spread this word. I go before you. I am at your side. Do not ever move from your union with Me. I am in your heart at this very moment. Such precious moments, to behold the Son of God within your very soul! You, My beloved, I come to and I use you to do this work!

    Do not doubt for one second. Busy your mind with thoughts only of Me. I come, you listen. You are united to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He dwells in your very heart. Oh, how you are favored. Come and adore Me for I am God and I come to you. Who are you to receive such an honor? You, are My beloved, the bride of My soul. I come to you with this ardent love. Come and be so elated. You are filled with such gifts. Alleluia.

    God has come to you. Blow the trumpet, sound the horn, jump for joy. Your ardent lover has come to your soul.

    Alleluia.

    I am the Alpha. I am the Omega. Come and experience the intensity of My love. Sit and be with Me, with thoughts only of how I, Jesus, Son of God, love you. Focus on Me. See My face. See Me, bloodied and bruised, dripping with love for you. I give you My Body. I give you My Blood. I give you My all. Be attentive to only Me and My intense love for you. I dwell there in your spirit. Let Me possess you and permeate your very being. Be filled with My love. You no longer exist of yourself, but only as I exist in you.

    Let go, My chosen ones. I come with this love to bestow on you, but you must be in silence. It is your focusing on Me that will send you high into a realm of the spirit. My love is present inside you. Let go and experience Me present within your heart. Let Me love you with My love. Let Me fill you with My lightness. Lose yourself and be entirely in Me. Forget all your earthly cares. The King of heaven dwells in your heart. Would you think of such small concerns if a real king were in your midst? I am in your soul and I am the King of heaven. The feeling in your heart is My intense love for you!

    You hold back, when I have so much to give you. Learn to let go. Pray for help from Me and My mother. You will experience My union with you. I long to be united with you but union depends on your openness to Me. Let go, let go. Ascend to the realms of the heavens for I am truly God and I am truly in your soul.

    Come that I might fill you. Let Me do My work in you. Let Me immerse you in My love. Just be with Me. Forget your cares. Forget it all and dwell only in Me, with My arms surrounding you and embracing you. Such warmth, such fire, just for you, My beloved, just for you.

    Oh, how I love you. What do I do to shake you? I am God and I am within your very breast and you think about the weather or the garbage. Oh, you silly ones. Behold your God within you, deep in your breast, longing and longing for union with you. Let go! Focus on Me, My little ones! I will immerse you in My love. Be with Me in your very breast. Come and be filled by Me.

    Alleluia. Alleluia.

    This is God. This is God and I am in your breast. What is in your mind? When your bridegroom waits for you, empty your mind and let Me fill you!

    Alleluia. You, this day, have been given a Savior and He longs to be with you in the most ardent love.

Excerpt from March 1, 1994 3:57a.m.

I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live this day. I am in your midst. I died a brutal death and I come to you. I am Almighty. I can do all things and I am here, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in Communion. What more could heal you than the Body of Christ in your breast? I, God, come to you present in Holy Communion! I am God and I come to you and you run from My church to do what? I am so upset for the indifference for Communion.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusYour Bridegroom Waits for You

God's Blue Book II Cover

Excerpt from February 11, 1994 4:00 a.m.

Jesus speaks:  ...Feel the love of Jesus deep in your breast. Meditate on Me, hanging so selflessly on the cross for love of you. I am Jesus, Son of God, I loved you to My death. I love you this same way this very day. Sweet one, if you were the only one, I would die for you alone this very day.

    I am this same Jesus. I am in your midst. I live and dwell in your brothers. I come to you, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in Holy Communion and in the tabernacle. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God! I am alive in your hearts.

    You come to Me in Holy Communion. I wait, I long for your union with Me. I am your ardent lover. I pour out to you the same love I had for you the day I died on the cross.

    You come and I shower you with My love. Stay with Me after Communion. Sit with Me. These are My most golden moments to shower My love on you.

    You, My little ones, busy yourself with such senseless tasks. I am Jesus, the King of Glory! I am the King of the Kingdom of Heaven and I come to you, My little sweet ones. I humble Myself and come to you. What do you receive? You, in Holy Communion, receive Jesus, God-made-man.

    Oh, how are you today? The tongue is the doorway to the soul. How is your tongue? Is it worthy for such a King?

    Who are you that Jesus, Son of God, comes to you? You, My child, are My beloved. You are he who is unworthy to tie My bootstraps, but I come to you with such love and longing and give Myself to you. Is your tongue pure? Have you been holy in your speech about others? Have you used your tongue to preach My love? Is your tongue worthy for the King of Heaven?

    I give you such honor, such dignity. I, God, long to be united to you in Holy Communion. I came to earth and died a brutal death for you, for love of you. I, in total surrender, holding nothing back, chose to spread My arms in total submission and die for you. Do I love you any less today? I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I love you today the same as the day I died for you. I spread My arms in total surrender and gave My all for love of you...

    ...Your job is clear. Love God and one another. Do not busy yourself with needless tasks. Come to Me. Come to Me in Communion. Come in Adoration. Let Me shower you with My love. You are filled to the brim and you come from a place of giving love rather than needing love.

    Oh, My sweet ones, My chosen ones, I wait for you with My love in the tabernacle. I wait for you with your arms for this cold world. Your arms in this cold war are your hearts filled with My love. You cannot be My soldiers of love in this world if you do not first seek your union with Me. It is in the silence before the tabernacle that I minister to you. Come and do not be busy. Let Me fill you with My love.

    My Heart is on fire with love of you. I give this to you in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle. I am there, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Come and get your arms, get your supplies. You are going into battle in this world. You are battling evil and hate. You need your ammunition and it is found in Me. Come and I will give you your arms--My love.

    Oh, how I love you. I ache in My heart for your love. You do not know how I ache to behold each of you. Please come. It is in the greatest love that I am locked up in the tabernacle. Come, please, I beg you. I love you. I want you to come. I am Jesus, Son of God and I am waiting for you this very day.

    Come to Me and I will give you all you need. I love you. Jesus...

JOYFUL MYSTERIES

The Visitation

3. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. The Child Jesus was within Mary's womb. We carry Jesus within ourselves. We receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. When we go to Communion, we go to our pews, and we have the Son of God within our hearts. He is as present in our hearts as He was when He was carried in the womb of Mary, when she went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth.

THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES

The Birth of Jesus

8. We see the consecrated Host. But within the consecrated Host is truly God, in His divinity and His humanity.

9. We look for those things that are visible. But are not the true treasures found in those things that are invisible? The reality is that this is God's world! We see the things in front of our face and we do not realize how the world of Jesus and Mary truly is. We do not realize how they are with us this very day. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remains with us this day in His divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. We are surrounded by His presence in one another. He dwells and lives in each one of us when we are in the state of grace. In every blade of grass, the life that is there comes from God. Yet we are so blind! We see so little! Holy Spirit, open up our eyes. Where we are blind, let us see. Let us see more and more the invisible world. Let us know more and more the presence of God as it is all around us. Help us to see Jesus in each other. Help us to be more aware of Jesus Christ, who is truly present with us in the tabernacle.

The Ascension

8. He came to give us life. He nourishes this life with the Eucharist. This is Jesus truly present in His divinity and humanity. He feeds our life through His own flesh and blood! He feeds our life in Him through the divine love that He has left with us. He feeds this life through the Church, through the sacraments. He gives us the sacrament of penance whereby all our sins can be taken away through the power of the priest. God is so good to us that He truly feeds our life in Him!

10. He, God, lets us partake in His divine life, in His divine love, and He nourishes us with His very own flesh and blood!

     



  

Discussions on Faith
  
  

1. We quote from scripture Hebrews 11: 1-40.
   

Hebrews 11: 1-40

        The exemplary faith of our ancestors

   Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of realities that are unseen. It is for their faith that our ancestors are acknowledged.

   It is by faith that we understand that the ages were created by a word from God, so that from the invisible the visible world came to be.

   It was because of his faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, and for that he was acknowledged as upright when God himself made acknowledgement of his offerings. Though he is dead, he still speaks by faith.

   It was because of his faith that Enoch was taken up and did not experience death: he was no more, because God took him; because before his assumption he was acknowledged to have pleased God. Now it is impossible to please God without faith, since anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and rewards those who seek him.

   It was through his faith that Noah, when he had been warned by God of something that had never been seen before, took care to build an ark to save his family. His faith was a judgement on the world, and he was able to claim the uprightness which comes from faith.

   It was by faith that Abraham obeyed the call to set out for a country that was the inheritance given to him and his descendants, and that he set out without knowing where he was going. By faith he sojourned in the Promised Land as though it were not his, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. He looked forward to the well-founded city, designed and built by God.

   It was equally by faith that Sarah, in spite of being past the age, was made able to conceive, because she believed that he who had made the promise was faithful to it.

Because of this, there came from one man, and one who already had the mark of death on him, descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore which cannot be counted.

   All these died in faith, before receiving any of the things that had been promised, but they saw them in the far distance and welcomed them, recognising that they were only strangers and nomads on earth. People who use such terms about themselves make it quite plain that they are in search of a homeland. If they had meant the country they came from, they would have had the opportunity to return to it; but in fact they were longing for a better homeland, their heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, since he has founded the city for them.

   It was by faith that Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He offered to sacrifice his only son even though he had yet to receive what had been promised, and he had been told: Isaac is the one through whom your name will be carried on. He was confident that God had the power even to raise the dead; and so, figuratively speaking, he was given back Isaac from the dead.

   It was by faith that this same Isaac gave his blessing to Jacob and Esau for the still distant future. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, bowed in reverence, as he leant on his staff. It was by faith that, when he was about to die, Joseph mentioned the Exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his own remains.

   It was by faith that Moses, when he was born, was kept hidden by his parents for three months; because they saw that he was a fine child; they were not afraid of the royal edict. It was by faith that, when he was grown up, Moses refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter and chose to be ill-treated in company with God's people rather than to enjoy the transitory pleasures of sin. He considered that the humiliations offered to the Anointed were something more precious than all the treasures of Egypt, because he had his eyes fixed on the reward. It was by faith that he left Egypt without fear of the king's anger; he held to his purpose like someone who could see the Invisible. It was by faith that he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood to prevent the Destroyer from touching any of their first-born sons. It was by faith they crossed the Red Sea as easily as dry land, while the Egyptians, trying to do the same, were drowned.

   It was through faith that the walls of Jericho fell down when the people had marched round them for seven days. It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies and so was not killed with the unbelievers.

   What more shall I say? There is not time for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, or of David, Samuel and the prophets. These were men who through faith conquered kingdoms, did what was upright and earned the promises. They could keep a lion's mouth shut, put out blazing fires and emerge unscathed from battle. They were weak people who were given strength to be brave in war and drive back foreign invaders. Some returned to their wives from the dead by resurrection; and others submitted to torture, refusing release so that they would rise again to a better life. Some had to bear being pilloried and flogged, or even chained up in prison. They were stoned, or sawn in half, or killed by the sword; they were homeless, and wore only the skins of sheep and goats; they were in want and hardship, and maltreated. They were too good for the world and they wandered in deserts and mountains and in caves and ravines. These all won acknowledgment through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, since God had made provision for us to have something better, and they were not to reach perfection except with us.  

  

 

2. Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3 edited by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. 
  

The Vision of Faith

"The remedy which must be applied to atheism, however, is to be sought in a proper presentation of the Church’s teaching as well as in the integral life of the Church and her members. For it is the function of the Church, led by the Holy Spirit who renews and purifies her ceaselessly, to make God the Father and His Incarnate Son present and in a sense visible.

"The result is achieved chiefly by the witness of a living and mature faith, namely, one trained to see difficulties clearly and to master them. Very many martyrs have given luminous witness to this faith and continue to do so. This faith needs to prove its fruitfulness by penetrating the believer’s entire life, including its worldly dimensions, and by activating him toward justice and love, especially regarding the needy. What does the most to reveal God’s presence, however, is the brotherly charity of the faithful who are united in spirit as they work together for the faith of the gospel and who prove themselves a sign of unity." 48

Through faith we share in God’s knowing activity in a special way, and we are able to know God and creation in relationship to God in a supernatural, God-like fashion.

If we are to properly progress in the spiritual life, we must allow this vision of faith to more and more penetrate our activities. Increasingly, we should become contemplatives in action: we should view reality in a way that is similar to God’s view of reality. Increasingly, everything we see should remind us of God because everything that is really good and true and beautiful does reflect God. The beauties of nature, for example, manifest this beauty; the raging storm at sea reflects his power; and the goodness, the kindness, and the love that we observe in others around us tell us that God is infinitely good and kind and loving.

The vision of faith allows us to see the human family and the world in a manner that differs from the nonbeliever’s view. As contemplatives in action, we should act upon this vision. Every man, woman, and child is marked with the blood of Christ. If Jesus loved them so much--indeed, if he now loves them so much--can we be indifferent to their needs, both spiritual and material? Can we be indifferent to all the problems that burden modern men and women? If we are Christians of living faith, we know that we cannot be indifferent. This vision of faith should inspire us to action according to our vocation, talents, opportunity, time, and energy. We should be laboring to make the human family and the world more reflective of Christ’s image.

3. Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

 

EIGHT  Christian Faith

            ...1.  Faith as Participation in God's Knowledge

    Much of the current writing on faith stresses that this virtue constitutes a personal encounter.1 This is the emphasis we will also adopt. However, since this encounter of faith is initiated through the realm of knowledge, we will first discuss faith as participation in God's knowing. Then we will complete our treatment by considering faith as full personal encounter with God and man in Christ.

     Faith gives the Christian a new capacity for knowing. It enables him to attain truths about God and His creation which would be otherwise unknowable. Faith also enables us to know certain truths which are within the grasp of natural reason, but which are attained by many only with difficulty.

     Faith, as St. Thomas states, assimilates us to the divine knowing.2 Through faith we share in God's vision of reality, and we view God and creation in some way as does God Himself. This vision exists on a level of knowing which surpasses the intellect's natural capacity to grasp reality. Although faith gives only a faint share in God's vision compared to the divine knowledge itself, it is still the greatest vision of reality which is possible for man in his temporal existence.

     What are some of the characteristics of Christian faith? First of all, it is at the same time both certain and obscure. Faith is certain because it is a special sharing in the knowledge of God, God who is the highest truth. The strength of my faith, then, depends not on arguments and proofs from reason. These give a rational foundation to my faith, but they are not faith itself. Rather, the strength of faith depends upon the degree to which God takes possession of the Christian in grace. As the Christian grows in grace, the various infused virtues take deeper root, and the Christian lives more and more the life of God. In regard to faith this means that the Christian is being more vitally assimilated into the divine knowing. His faith becomes more firm. This does not mean that we always correctly estimate the strength of our faith. For various reasons we can at times think that our faith is growing weaker when it is actually becoming stronger. Such an impression can be present as faith is being purified. This process of purification will be touched upon in the present chapter, but also later in the chapter on prayer and the one on the mystical life.

     If faith is certain, it also has an obscurity about it, despite the fact that faith is also light. Faith is obscure because its realities are unseen. These truths of faith will be surrounded with a full brightness only in the beatific vision. Then faith will no longer be necessary. God and His truth will then be immediately present to us. "Now we are seeing a dim reflection in a mirror; but then we shall be seeing face to face. The knowledge that I have now is imperfect; but then I shall know as fully as I am known." (1 Co 13:12)...

    ...Part of this vision which the man of faith has is the deep realization that living faith in Christ can transform a man's life. Consequently, the man of faith has a deep desire to help develop this faith in those already possessing it, and to aid in giving it to those not yet blessed with faith in Christ. He realizes from personal experience the importance of making such a contribution, for he knows that he himself has received this faith partly through the efforts of others, and that he is helped by them in so many ways in achieving faith's maturity. Finally, the man of faith is convinced that he promotes faith in others to a great extent by the way he himself lives it out: "The written and preached word, however, is intended to be incarnated in human beings. The word will have its most powerful effect only when it appears in another person who embodies the gospel in his life."9

     In conclusion, let us be convinced of the following. What faith in Christ means for ourselves and others must engrave itself deeply within our souls. For only then will we have a desire to open ourselves up fully to this life of faith in Christ, and only then will we become the desired instruments in communicating this faith to others. Each of us in his own way must be caught up into the vision, the fire, the enthusiasm of St. Paul: ". . . I believe nothing can happen that will outweigh the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For him I have accepted the loss of everything, and I look on everything as so much rubbish if only I can have Christ and be given a place in him . . . I want only the perfection that comes through faith in Christ, and is from God and based on faith." (Ph 3:8-9).

Hebrews 12: 1-4

The example of Jesus Christ

With so many witnesses in a great cloud all around us, we too, then, should throw off everything that weighs us down and the sin that clings so closely, and with perseverance keep running in the race which lies ahead of us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection: for the sake of the joy which lay ahead of him, he endured the cross, disregarding the shame of it, and has taken his seat at the right of God’s throne. Think of the way he persevered against such opposition from sinners and then you will not lose heart and come to grief. In the fight against sin, you have not yet had to keep fighting to the point of bloodshed.

  


   

August 6, 1999 Daily Message

Feast of the Transfiguration
  

Messenger:  Jesus gave Himself selflessly on the cross.

He poured out Himself in that act.

His whole act was that of giving His will in total surrender.

I ask you to know Jesus in this way of how He willed the salvation of every soul with the selfless giving of Himself in total surrender.

He willed it, He wanted every soul to be saved.

In His perfect consuming desire, He wanted to give Himself completely for the salvation of souls.

There is a purity of Jesus’ willing that we do not have.

I wish to stress the momentum of the act as Christ gave Himself for love of men and the consuming desire and wish to save souls which was in the very act of His selfless giving of Himself.

It is frustrating to be given such knowledge of the will and desire of that God-Man’s offering of Himself on the cross and be unable to express this knowledge in words when it seems so clear in my being exactly how it was from the experience He gave me.

My desire here is to impress upon the reader the purity of desire behind Christ’s selflessly giving of Himself. The God-Man willed this complete offering of Himself in complete purity. He was one in the Father’s will. The words in the Scripture:

    

Luke 22: 42

‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’
  

and

Mark 15: 34

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

  

may indicate an unwillingness in the minds of some. There was not any of this.

He willed His selfless offering, for He lives perfectly in the Father’s will. They are One.

The purity of the intention of this self giving gives us a greater understanding of the consuming love of Jesus in this act.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit were One willing this act of the Son giving Himself.

Jesus was consumed with love of man.

His love IS. This day His love is as great for us as the day He died on the cross.

I think of a man in a race trying with 100% will to finish first. He is consumed with the desire to finish, he gives his all as much as possible to finish first.

Jesus willed to give Himself as a most pure offering, far excelling any offering that any of us could make.

In experiencing with Him, to the extent He allowed me, His act of selfless giving of Himself. I saw the intention behind the act of Jesus’ wanting to save every soul. His offering was so pure with the intention of doing so in perfect conformity with the Father’s will. We do not have this capacity, but to some extent we can share in this way of willing because our wills are elevated to a greater capacity of loving through the life of sanctifying grace. And we grow in this capacity as we grow in the life of grace. We do partake in this way of willing.

But here again I want to describe the purity of the act of the Son willing the salvation of every soul and to emphasize the act as one of consuming love.

The other revelation I received when I experienced His death on the cross (to the capacity He allowed me) was a sampling of pure love.

There is no imperfection in His love. He loves souls so much and wants them to be saved as the Father wanted from the beginning.

I experienced such love for every soul with a perfection and purity of knowing only love, and from this love I had the desire that every man be saved and live according to the Father’s plan. The love for them and the desire for their salvation has a unity that I cannot describe on paper. God wills man to be with Him in heaven forever. God loves us. God gives man his freedom in this love for us. It is man through unrepented serious sin that condemns himself to life in hell. Because of the justice of God, man must be punished for sin, but God makes clear to man His mercy. His promise to Abraham and the words of Mary in the Magnificat confirm this promise of mercy.

But here again my intention now is to focus on the knowledge revealed to me in this experience of August 4, 1999.

I have an experience of the love of God and the purity of His love, to love men despite their sins.

When taken out of the experience in which my loving capacity was elevated to such a heightened level in Him, I suffer from my imperfections. I love imperfectly. The devil presses in to try to stop me from being loving. The desire was within me to love purely. I knew more of His pure love, but my capacity to love was not the same as when He had given me this great grace. At that time it was as if my imperfections did not exist and the devil was not taunting me to not love more purely.

I experienced this afterwards, a real battle to love as I wanted to and a pulling back in myself for fear I would be hurt and taken advantage of which would cause enormous hurt which I did not think I could bear. I wanted to pull back and protect myself. Whereas when I was in the experience, I only knew love and could go out of myself, loving all without fear. The self focus was not there.

I had been emptied by the effects of the act of loving on me and I only gave selflessly.

Now I am in this more usual state of existing. I experience fear, my imperfections, and lack of energy to just go out of myself and love selflessly.

My self holds me back as I discern what is safe and how I should love or not love. There is an impurity in my loving capacity and I am taunted by the evil one who tells me why it is unsafe to love and trust.

There is a limit to the love I wish to give.

There is a holding back.

There is a wanting to protect myself so I am not hurt.

This state is nothing like the experience I had of tasting His pure love.

It is being engulfed in fear and self doubt. It is full of imperfections. It pulls in, whereas He goes out. It is just hard to describe.

It is more focused on self, less focused on loving selflessly.

  

1 John 3: 2

My dear friends,
    we are already God’s children,
but what we shall be in the future
    has not yet been revealed.
We are well aware that when he appears
we shall be like him,
because we shall see him as he really is.

    the production floor at the printer 
    today - Valentine's Day. 

It is a special gift of God's love to the Church.

   

  

   


 

   

February 7, 2002

  

To whom it may concern,
  

    We circulate the Priestly Newsletter that goes to 75,000 priests in the world. This has been circulated since 1994 at the direction of Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. who had a doctorate in Theology and taught at Xavier University for over thirty years and author of eighteen books on the spiritual life and many other various publications.

    Our primary purpose is to circulate this Newsletter. We are now sending three years of Newsletters in a book of 342 pages to 75,000 priests in the United States and 90 foreign countries. A special Newsletter is enclosed with Father Carter's powerful writing on Grace (2001 issue 1). This writing is also available on tape and on disc.

    Our coequal purpose is to circulate prayer manuals Father Carter compiled for prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and
the world.

    All of our printing and postage costs so much money.

    We operate from the Virgin Mary building in Clearwater, Florida, pictures are enclosed. We use the building to spread materials and rosaries
to encourage people to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.

    We also have a church we received from the diocese in China, Indiana where we distribute our materials and pray before the Blessed Sacrament hourly and about two hours or more at 6:20 every day. Monthly adoration before the exposed Eucharist is held for our members for 48 hours on the 12th of each month to the 14th.

    We have a third center in Morrow, Ohio which is our communication center and mailing address.

    We circulate rosaries handmade to Catholic schools all over the United States and meditation sheets and consecration cards. We try to send scapulars too when we have them. We supply many beads to our rosary makers for this.

    We had difficulty all last summer securing funds for beads for our rosary makers. We were not able to send the 100,000 or more rosaries we usually send in October and May because of funds.

    We need $10,000 every month for the loan on the Virgin Mary building. We pray nightly there usually for about two hours or more at 6:20. We pray all through the day there, hourly, many times before the image. A big prayer meeting is held on the 5th of the month. Prayers are prayed for about 4 hours for the priests, the Church and the world. We broadcast to at least 8 states and all join in the prayers, including Morrow and China.

    We have a nursing home ministry and a prison ministry. We supply coloring books of the rosary mysteries and the Mass to children.

    We desperately need funds for the printing and the rosary making operation and all the postage. Bishops from foreign countries beg for rosaries and prayer sheets with the Shepherds of Christ Prayers.

    Now we are struggling with the monthly rent on the building and the postage for the foreign mailing of the Priestly Newsletter Book II.

    We always need money for the rosary beads for the schools and the Virgin Mary building.

    We also do a Holy Spirit Novena, but the little book has been out of print for some time because of lack of funds. Teachers like to use it for confirmation. We have prayer chapters using it daily all over the world.

    We want to circulate pictures of the crucifix and Mary's image on the building, we are unable to do this because of lack of funds. Enclosed are pictures of the crucifix and the Virgin Mary building.

    A very important part of our Movement is trying to get people to say the Morning Offering. Here is a card we distribute extensively, especially to Nursing Homes and school children.
   

  

  
    Here is a short form of consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we circulate extensively.
  

  

   
    Can you help us. It is a real shame to not even have rent on the building Mary appears on.

    We need to tell the world about the Mass. This is another important aspect of our ministry. We have so many writings about the Mass. Mass Book I with the Imprimatur—and all Fr. Carter's writings and many other writings discerned by Fr Carter before his death. 

    It is a shame with all the money in the world not to be able to get the rosary beads to the rosary makers for school children who want them to pray the rosary.

    Our movement is trying to do what Our Lady told us to do at Fatima for peace in the world.

    Can you help us?
