Messenger:         God wants us to realize our dependence on Him.
                            He wants us to be so one in Him.
                            Every moment to be so one.
                            Every hair of our head is numbered. 
                            I find great help in praying the Hail Mary,
                                    I pray the speedy novena, nine
                                    Hail Mary's.
                            Praying constantly.
                            Realizing He is with me.
                            When I have a need—I must pray to Him and have
                                    faith.
                            As a gentle bridegroom, He helps me, I am
                                    living to serve Him and do as He wants
                                    me to do to spread His Kingdom.
                            He is with me, He will help me if I ask 
                                    Him.
                            I am one in Him.
                            I need only ask and He will help me.

                             The  Lord is my refuge and my life.

                            I work for Him.
                            He is gentle and kind in heart.
                            He is all powerful.
                            I rely on His might.
                            I live to serve Him.
                            I have faith in Him.
                            I give myself to Him.

                            I am fed at His table
                            with His precious Body and Blood.

                            I am His servant.

                            My constant prayer is to serve
                                    Him.
                            I live the mysteries of the rosary
                                    in my life.

                            I can deeply meditate on these
                                    mysteries.

                            At Mass I can be so deeply united
                                    in my heart to God.

                            At Mass the mystery of Christ
                                    is in my heart.

                            The thoughts of crucifixion and
                                    resurrection, Christ's birth
                                    are in my heart.
                            If I attend Mass, thoughts of my
                            beloved enhance the ecstasy of
                            that experience.

                            When I am deeply connected to Him
                                    in such oneness at Mass, I
                                    go to this place deep inside and
                                    ask for a special grace to
                                    participate more deeply, to be so one 
                                    in Him, the depth I can go inside
                                    is inexhaustible.

                                    He is.
                                    I am in Him.
                                    I want depth in my union with
                                        Him at Mass. I want deep
                                        participation in the offering of this
                                        Holy Sacrifice.

                                    I am connected to Him.
                                        He is ever present to me.
                                        I believe.
                                        I pray and ask for those things
                                            I need to better serve Him.
                                        I believe.
                                        Say over and over and over again.

                                    Oh God, I believe, I believe in Thee.

                                    The sound of music can so deeply
                                        help to take me into my heart.

                                    It is there in my heart I deeply connect
                                        to Him.

                                    The devil wants to distract us so we
                                        cannot have this deep connection
                                        with Him at Mass.

                                    There is this place so deep in my heart
                                        I connect to God and am so united
                                        with all others in heaven and on
                                        earth, deeply connected to Him in
                                        the priest celebrating the Mass,
                                        I am one in that holy offering as
                                            the priest celebrates the Mass.
                                        I see Jesus in the priest, I am one in
                                            offering that holy sacrifice
                                            with the priest presiding, united
                                            to Jesus with all the angels and saints,
                                            the people of the earth and the people
                                            present.

                                        We participate as members of the
                                            body of Christ.

                                        The moments of consecration are so
                                            important to me.

September 27, 2001 message continues

Messenger:                 And we pray Amen, Amen, Amen.

                                    We unite so deeply in Jesus praying
                                        to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

                                    My song is a song of joy, joy, joy for
                                        the Mass—I sing this song of joy—
                                        joy for all the Masses going on
                                            around the world
                                            joy for the Mass.

                                    Now we pray so deeply united to our
                                        brothers at the Our Father, during the Mass.
                                        We feel that deep unity and
                                        we pray so deep inside ourselves
                                        to Our Father.

                                    And then we beg at the Lamb of
                                            God

                                        Lamb of God who takes away
                                            the sins of the world—
                                            have mercy on us

                                        Lamb of God who takes away
                                            the sins of the world—
                                            have mercy on us

                                        Lamb of God who takes away
                                            the sins of the world—
                                            grant us peace

                                    Oh God, oh God oh God,
                                        I receive Thee
                                        I love Thee
                                        I eat Your precious Body,
                                        I drink Your precious Blood,
                                        I am one in You,
                                        I live to serve You

                                    I walk the altar to receive Him.
                                        He is my Divine Bridegroom
                                        I love Him so much

                                    Oh my precious Jesus, You come
                                        to me and I am so united
                                        to You. I am filled with
                                        His presence and His grace.

                                        God comes to me.

                                        My heart is filled with Him.

                                        He is my love.

                                        He is my Bridegroom.

                                        He is my all.

                                    The thought of His love given
                                    in the crucifixion, the 
                                        resurrection, and His humble
                                        birth as a baby makes
                                        my heart burn.

                                    I love Him.

                                    I want to ponder Him.

                                    To think about Him, the
                                        mysteries of the rosary are
                                        a great aid always in my
                                        heart. They are aids to help
                                        me to stay so connected to Him,
                                        whether I am praying the Hail
                                        Mary's or not, my life is always
                                        lived in those mysteries.
                                    One simple thought of the
                                        annunciation, the crucifixion
                                        of Christ, makes my heart burn.

Messenger:                 He is my beloved, my lover, my Savior,
                                        one thought of Him in any of
                                        the mysteries of the rosary makes
                                        me more deeply united to Him
                                        whether I am praying the rosary
                                        or not.

                                        My mind is so connected to Christ from
                                            praying these mysteries of
                                            the rosary.

                                        The mysteries of the rosary live in
                                            me.
                                        I live in His life, death and
                                            resurrection.
                                        I live in this constant prayer,
                                            interceding though Our Lady
                                            and my prayer in my heart
                                            is the Hail Marys.

                                        I pray whenever I need help.

                                        They are always there.

                                        By They I mean Jesus and Mary.

                                    The new Adam the new Eve to help
                                        the trouble children of Adam
                                        and Eve.

                                    My life is one in Theirs.

                                    I dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

                                    My life is a life of deeper consecration
                                        to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

                                    My life is lived in Him
                                        and so I can say with St. Paul

Messenger:                 This is the mission of the Shepherds of Christ
                                        Movement begun by Jesus to help us to live
                                        this spousal bridal union with
                                        Him as His precious bride.

                                    We are the brides of Christ.

                                    As people suffer more and more they can turn to the
                                        rosary.

                                    They will learn to have the mysteries of the rosary
                                        planted so deeply in their hearts.

                                    Their lives will be lived in greater
                                        truth in Him the more they dwell in
                                        the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and live
                                        these mysteries in the rosary in their
                                        own lives.

                                        I live the paschal mystery of death-
                                            resurrection every moment of my
                                            life.
                                            I am constantly dying to self to be
                                                rising in Him.
                                            Developing more into that ideal
                                                self He intends me to be.

                                            My life is that of seeking the greatest
                                                purity.
                                            My life is that of giving myself to Him.

                                        My life is that of being more perfected in Him.

                                        I live the mysteries of the rosary in my life.

                                        The incarnation goes on in me as I am brought
                                            forth more and more in that image and
                                            likeness of Him, dwelling in the
                                            heart, the Immaculate Heart of
                                            my Mother, the spiritual womb,
                                            and the Holy Spirit works with
                                            His grace to form me more and more
                                            in the image of Christ.

  


     

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Cling to Me

God's Blue Book I Cover

May 13, 1993 

Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ

    "I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:

    'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

    'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

    'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'

    "Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

    "As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

  1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
  2. For the Pope.
  3. For all bishops of the world.
  4. For all priests.
  5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
  6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
  7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
  8. For all members of the human family.
  9. For all souls in purgatory.

September 27, 2001 Second Message  
                     
Messenger:  
    I see my life as a process, not as a single
                    event although many singular events
                    may have great impact on my life.

                        When we do something that is magnificent,
                    there was a lot of learning that went into
                    the final victory. We cannot measure some
                    events as independent of others.

                        Very much learning occurs in the
                    struggles on the way to the victory.

                        Look for the good things in the process
                    in living. We learn in so many ways through
                    the winning times and the times of failure.
                    We try to do God's will, we work toward the goal
                    of pleasing Him. We should give Him our lives
                    and let Him take us to the victory.

                        The finalist in a race probably did not get

                        Look for gifts in the times everything didn't
                    work out, see if those times of
learning 
                    helped us later on to have victories.
