For Apostles Today From Jesus

October 1, 1996
Message given through Rita Ring

Jesus: My Beloved Ones Gathered Here Today,

I have called you, each one, here this day. You are My special apostles. I called the Apostles to go out to spread the good news and the Church. I am calling you, My apostles this day, to go forth to help bring about the renewal of the Church and the world culminating in the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of My Mother's Immaculate Heart.

"When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves." (Acts 2:1-4)19

I beg you to study the Rosary of May 11, 1996. There will be available a live tape of this rosary. Please listen to this tape five to ten minutes daily and reflect on your mission. It is through the Shepherds of Christ Movement, I will greatly renew the Church and the world.

You are My apostles. This is a calling from Me to you on this October 13, 1996. I am Jesus. I called the Apostles. I am calling you My apostles today. I am giving to you abundant graces to carry out this great mission that will lead to the new era.

I love you with the greatest love, My apostles, and I am guarding you.

R. And He reached down and lifted me up and I was enveloped in His rapture. I knew nothing but God.

We see with a veil over our eyes and He is there, behind that veil. If He but lifted this veil, we would fall on our faces. In our bodies we cannot take His overwhelming presence--we could not see because of His splendor and brightness.

We are but feeble creatures, living here with faith - but He could show us His splendor and glory and give us a touch of His overwhelming presence.

And a symbol of grace danced on the altar and the whole area surrounding the Eucharist had a celestial aura of glistening grace and it was awesome. Truly, I was awe struck. He gave me the following instructions:

Jesus wants a chapel with the Sacred Heart statue and the Immaculate Heart of Mary statue. Until this is possible, whenever we pray the rosary He would like an area designated, with those two statues for the purpose of holy prayer.

Jesus: I would like you to gather on the 13th of each month, My beloved shepherds, at the time of 12:00 noon to venerate My Sacred Heart and My Mother's Immaculate Heart. People are requested to bring chairs and to gather at this time.

The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a main part of the completion of the Fatima message. It is crucial to the renewal of the Church and the world. I will continue to give messages to the apostles on the 13th of the month. You will continue to gather on the 5th of the month as requested by My Mother.

I am requesting you to gather on the 13th of the month and to invite all chapter members to this special rosary. It is there on the 13th of the month. I will talk to the apostles and teach them about My love. They will go into the world and spread this love to the far ends of the earth. This rosary will be taped and the messages published and sent to you. Please study these messages during the month and listen to the tape. The fire of My love with spread across the earth and many will be saved. I am Jesus. I am asking this message be distributed on October 13, 1996.

The location of this rosary will be determined by Fr. Carter. It is through the Shepherds of Christ Movement, I will greatly renew the Church and the world. It is through him, the fire of My love will be spread to the far corners of the earth. He is My special anointed priest-son. You must obey him for I am directing him in this mission.

I will direct John as the president of this organization. All must remain humble. The Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary need to be circulated and distributed to the apostles. These are My directions for the apostles.

Please join on this date. It is important to carry out this mission I have imparted to you.

The messages in God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary must be lived by all members of the Movement.

Jesus: The Shepherds of Christ Movement will have centers of renewal.

As requested by My Mother, I am asking you to pray the rosary as a continued novena for the Movement. Pray beginning this day, 27 days in petition, 27 days in thanksgiving for these requests given by My Mother:

The new intentions for the rosary novena given by Mary on January 25, 1997:

Mary: I am Mary. I am requesting that you continue to pray the rosary novena daily for the following intentions:

1) For the spread of the rosary, circulation and publication of these rosary meditations, for the Rosary Book and Children's Rosary books, for the Rosary Aves and consecrations to be distributed and used by school children, for the Priestly Newsletter books, for the Mass Book, for all materials receiving the imprimatur, for its publication and quick distribution. For the distribution of Mary's Message tape and the Rosary Book and the connection with the Shepherds of Christ Movement and the apparition in Florida;

3) For the new Center, for the new chapel, for the right to reserve the Blessed Sacrament there, for the funding, for the circulation of materials from there, for the beginning of new prayer chapters.

I am asking each of you to spread the messages I have given connecting My apparition in Florida with the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Please circulate the Mary's Message tape.

Please help circulate the love letters of my Son found in God's Blue Books and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Please circulate the live rosary tapes.

Jesus is asking that you spread the Ministry. It is through this ministry the Fatima message will greatly unfold. Please support the Ministry. You are pleasing Jesus and pleasing me. The Father's plan will greatly unfold through this ministry. Jesus has asked you to obey His and my messages to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of my Immaculate Heart."

Jesus: I am requesting that you continually pray this rosary novena from this day forth for these intentions. I am Jesus. I am giving My directions to you, My apostles, in these Rosaries from Our Hearts. Please study the rosaries.

I am here and My Mother is here in a special way on the 13th of each month. I am giving to you abundant graces to grow closer to Our Hearts during this rosary. Whenever you use these rosaries, I will give you special graces to help you in this mission, My apostles. Open your hearts and let Me fill your soul with My love. I am alive. I am alive. I am alive, and I live in you. I am Jesus. I come to you with greatest love. Please read the message of Pentecost 1996 and March 26, 1996 found in this book.

R. For the rosary novena as requested by Jesus and Mary, we begin on the first day with the Joyful Mysteries, on the second day the Sorrowful Mysteries, on the third day the Glorious Mysteries. Pray the rosary this way for 27 days in petition, and continue praying the rosary for 27 more days in thanksgiving. Jesus and Mary want us to continue this novena perpetually, 27 days in petition, 27 days in thanksgiving. Please tell all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement about this request of Jesus and Mary and circulate the prayer charts with the above message.

God has entrusted the peace of the world to Mary, she is the Queen of Peace. Mary appeared at Fatima in 1917.

[ < Contents ]

Mary's peace plan was given at Fatima:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.
  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.
  3. We must observe the First Saturday devotion.
  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Song from Jesus

  1. You are My precious little one. I love you, oh, so dearly. Come close to Me, My little one. I loved you to My death.

  2. Reach out to Me and do not fear. I want to be so close to you. You are My child, My precious one, I love you tenderly.

Directions from Jesus: Pass out the live rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and the live tape. Read this message and distribute the tapes.

Holy Spirit Prayer.
Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

Here I am Lord

  1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
    I have heard my people cry.
    All who dwell in dark and sin,
    My hand will save.
    I, who made the stars of night,
    I will make their darkness bright.
    Who will bear My light to them?
    Whom shall I send?

Refrain: Here I am Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

  1. I, the Lord of snow and rain,
    I have borne My people's pain.

    I have wept for love of them.
    They turn away.
    I will break their hearts of stone,
    Give them hearts for love alone.

    I will speak My word to them.
    Whom shall I send? Refrain...
  2. I, the Lord of wind and flame,
    I will tend the poor and lame.
    I will set a feast for them.
    My hand will save.
    Finest bread I will provide
    'Til their hearts are satisfied.
    I will give My life to them.
    Whom shall I send? Refrain...
