Today's Gospel

Matthew 3: 13-18

Jesus is baptised

    Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him.

    And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’

God the Father speaks:   My daughter,

                        I am a God of justice. I write messages
                    through you. You have been asked to deliver
                    My messages for My Movement Shepherds of Christ
                    for Me.

                        This Movement is for the renewal of the Church and the world.

                        You are in a state of becoming. The Church
                    and the world is in a state of becoming.
                    Your job is to be My messenger so that
                    the community Shepherds of Christ is formed
                    where there are Servants and Handmaids living
                    under a certain rule. There are apostles
                    and associates. There is a way of life
                    as I have dictated.

                        You live this way of life as best as you
                    are able as an Apostle of the Sacred Heart
                    of Jesus.

                        The prayers for this Movement to teach
                    the world to pray have been given to
                    you through Fr. Carter and through
                    the messages I have given directed to you.
                    You are a messenger from God.

                    I have asked you to deliver messages from
                        Me to begin this Movement Shepherds of
                        Christ.

                    Fr. Carter founded the Movement at the direction
                        of Jesus.

                    I am the Father, this Movement is the
                        Movement God has given to men.

                    The song, A Song from Jesus is given to
                        you from My Son Jesus.
                    It is a simple song for children and
                        for all.

                    It is simplicity I desire

Matthew 11:25

At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.

     

January 13, 2002 message continues

God the Father speaks:  

                   Your life is given as My Messenger.
                    The message is given as it was given on January 11, 2002.
                        It was the four month anniversary of the
                            great scourging of September 11, 2001.
                        I write to you.
                        I am God.
                        Now I ask you to read the message of
                            January 11, 2002 again.

                        Read this message in the light of the great
                            scourging that occurred September 11, 2001.

Excerpt from January 11, 2002

How have they been trained?

Jesus speaks:     Oh My child, I allow you to write for Me.
                                They have been trained! Children are
                                taught by their parents how to be
                                men and woman. A little boy receives
                                messages how to be a boy, a man,
                                how to treat woman, how to act in
                                intimate relationships. A little girl is
                                taught about herself as a woman very
                                often from her father and mother.
                                How was the dad in the family? Did
                                he respect and love his wife? How was
                                the little girl taught to respond to
                                men? Was she taught how a man
                                loves and respects his wife?...

                           What were children taught about obedience?
                                Children are taught about obedience from
                                superiors. Usually how a child has been
                                taught to obey effects their relationship
                                with their Father (God the Father) in
                                heaven.

                            How are your people being taught today
                                about sex and marriage? How are they
                                being taught about their bodies? Do they
                                display their bodies for all to see?

                            How are your people being taught about
                                indulgence? Taking uppers, drinks
                                with caffeine, pop machines on every
                                corner, strong coffee drinks...

                                How about all the pills offered on the
                                    television?

                                What are children being taught about the
                                    sex act?
                                Is it a casual thing? Is it saved
                                    for married life?
                                What are your people being taught
                                    about being a virgin at
                                    marriage?

                                Some of the ways that are displeasing to
                                    God are common place to some, now....

                                       Many of your youth, many of your young
                                    married couples, many older adults
                                    think nothing of displaying their
                                    bodies in public.

                                They think it is normal to do this.
                                How has your televisions, magazines
                                    taught people about their bodies?

                                It is being taught in many circles, it is
                                    not good to be overweight, but it
                                    is acceptable to display your bodies
                                    with very few coverings, it is
                                    smart, it is attractive, it is
                                    acceptable for movies to show the
                                    sex act as a casual thing where
                                    people hardly know each other's
                                    name and still have sexual intercourse.
                                    This evil is shown over and over again
                                    on television and in the movies,
                                    the people are brainwashed into
                                    thinking casual sex is ordinary amongst
                                    unmarried partners.

                                This is against the commandments.

                                How have they been taught?
                                Are the commandments the rules you
                                    follow.

                                Are many people teaching others every day to
                                    use the Name of God in vain?
                                Is My Name used in a way that
                                    is misused over and over again
                                    in various ways?

                                How do many parents teach My children
                                about My Name? Is My Name Sacred to
                                people? Is My Name used disrespectfully?

                                How are women treated?
                                Are their bodies treated with dignity and
                                    respect?

                                Has the marriage act become common place
                                    amongst unmarried people?

                                And since these things are being taught by some
                                    parents, the next generation follows
                                    easily when the baby is taught
                                    something from the beginning.

                                I give you the ten commandments....

                               Oh what are people taught about the
                                    truth?...

                           What are people taught about sacrifice?

                            Are they taught to indulge, indulge,
                                 indulge?

                            Does much of the world live on uppers
                                 and downers?

                            Do you have to reward yourself all through
                                 the day?

                            Is it common place to eat junk food?

                            What are you being taught about family life?

                            Are the relationships in the family sacred?
                                Has certain activities in children's lives
                                    stopped the family meal?

                                Are little children taught more about
                                    what people think in Hollywood
                                    and Movies and very little about
                                    God.

                                Who are your models?
                                Can you recite every movie and every
                                    movie star and talk about
                                    them in detail with great love
                                    and honor for the movie actors,
                                    but yet you do not know the
                                    mysteries of the rosary, the ten
                                    commandments and very seldom even
                                    think about God, the Divine God, the
                                    Creator.

                            Oh how are they being taught?

                            How have priests been taught about the
                                priesthood and how do they teach
                                young men in Catholic Schools about
                                being a priest.

                            Do Catholic all boys high schools teach
                                the boys everything about jobs and getting
                                into fancy colleges to have careers and
                                hardly ever even talk about the
                                importance of the Mass and the priest.

                            What have become the models children
                                follow?
                            How do they dress?
                            Do they follow the commandments?

                            Who will teach you or get you to change
                                your ways when you are being taught
                                generation after generation how to
                                be women and men and priests
                                and I want to instruct you
                                differently concerning some of your ways.

                            Who is teaching the children?
                            Is it coming from the world?
                            Is it from God.
                            Is Jesus and Mary your model?
                            Are the stars your models?

                            Only an outpouring of My grace can change
                                these deep seated incorrect behavior patterns.

                            Who will change when they were taught
                                the things from generations before
                                them?

                            Only an outpouring of My grace can change
                                these deep seated incorrect behavior patterns.

                            You do not even realize how important the Prayers
                                in My prayer manual are and how much
                                grace I have attached to these prayers
                                when prayed worthily.

                            Oh my children, I say to you again--

                            How have they been trained?

                            Are you passing down ways that are not
                                the way I want you to be.

                            Who is training the children?
                            Who is training My people?
                            How would I get you to listen?
                            I have sent this image as a sign to you.

January 11, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:    I am speaking here. When will you listen?

                          Many have made their bodies a god.

                           The focus on television is a good looking
                           body in many cases.

                           If you watch television day after day, much
                               of television teaches the world to make
                               a god out of their bodies.

                           Ordinary people, old people, heavier people
                               are looked at as not handsome by many
                                   because of the picture presented on television.

                           The focus on television is on your appearance.
                              You must be young and beautiful,
                                   in good shape or you can be rejected.

                           If people have been shamed themselves, they very
                              often shame others. They do not even see the fault
                              is theirs. And so the dysfunction is carried on
                              wounding and hurting in families from
                              generations past. They blame and shame their
                              own family members many times as they were
                              blamed and shamed.

                           I give you your bodies as a means of helping  you
                              get to heaven and helping in the work of
                              redemption. How paradoxical when one
                              uses their bodies for gain that is against
                              God's will. How sad to use the body to try
                              to lure others into sin.

                           Your bodies must be used to help lead others
                              to heaven.
                           All should act as God desires them to act....

                           Why do you want your brothers to be envious
                               of you and why are you envious of your
                               brothers?

                           There are some people that laugh at others
                               and think they are better than others.
                               It is cruel to laugh at another person
                               and feel you are superior and they are
                               inferior.

                           They have used Me and My picture to get
                               a laugh in the comedy shows and
                               the theater.

                           They laughed at Me, they persecuted Me, they
                               spit on Me....

January 11, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:       They may do this to you for your love
                                   of Me.
                               You must pray for them.
                               Pray for them.
                               Pray for them.
                               I am God and I have all the power.
                               Many people raise up gods that are false gods. You raise up
                                   your sports god and people on
                                   television are treated like gods.
                                   Many honor the rich people. Some laugh
                                   at those not as fortunate.

                           Generations of people have become more
                               accustomed to ways some of which
                               do not please Me.

                           A person who is an authority should have
                               a moral sense.

                           Some are being brainwashed on their televisions.
                           Some leaders do things that are not pleasing
                               to God, openly and then they are
                               in charge of countries.

                           I want your leaders to be pure and live
                               by the 10 Commandments. You should
                               want this too.
                               You should honor God as your King.

                           You want people to be connected deeply to God so the
                               power with which they rule comes from His hand.

                           You should want hearts of officials to be pure.

                           I will be the King and Center of all
                               hearts in the Reign of the Sacred Heart.

                           Only God's Grace will change the patterns
                               of behavior that have gone awry.

                           I give you these prayers in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual so
                               a remnant of people of the earth, will be deep intercessors
                               praying for the conversion of the people of the earth....

                           Who is teaching them?
                           Who is teaching the children?
                           How will it change?

                           I give you special grace when you pray
                               My prayers.

                           Please help Me circulate My priestly Newsletter
                               Book II to the priests.
                           Please help Me do this right away.
                           Please help Me get the prayer manual in their
                               hands with the book.

God the Father speaks:     This will help to change
                                        the face of the earth.

                                       I love you, I am Your Father in heaven.

God the Father speaks:  

                        This message was given soon after
                            My daughter Mary, your Mother
                            Mary appeared on the building
                            in Florida.

                        The focus is on the messages given.
                        The focus is on the Movement that has
                            been given to you.

                        You are Shepherds of Christ servants, handmaids
                            and apostles, you are to try
                            to live the way of life as
                            best as you can.

                        The prayer life has been given to you
                            as Shepherds of Christ Apostles and
                            Associates to follow.

                        I ask you to pray and surrender to
                            God's will.
                        I ask you to follow the way of life
                            given to you in daily prayer
                            as intercessors founded by
                            your Founder of Shepherds of Christ.

                        Your Founder intercedes at the throne
                            of God.

                        Pray through the intercession of all the
                            saints and angels and all priests in
                            heaven.
                        Pray through the intercession of your
                            Mother.

                            founder.

                            Apostles in heaven.
                        Pray through the intercession of
                            all popes and bishops and clergy
                            in heaven.

                    I have taught you to pray to be deep
                        intercessors praying for the priests, the
                        Church and the world.
                    This is the Movement given to you by My Son
                        Jesus to help in the renewal of the
                        Church and the world.
                    My Son will be the King and Center in the hearts
                        of the men of this earth.

Jesus speaks:

                    My chosen ones,
                        I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
                        I am the King of the earth.

                    You have made money your god.

Excerpt from December 19, 1996
2 days after Mary appeared on the building

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god....

end of excerpt from December 19, 1996 message

January 13, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:

                    You have raised up all kinds
                        of   false gods.

                    I give you these words.

1 John 3: 22-4: 19

and whatever we ask
we shall receive from him,
because we keep his commandments
and do what is acceptable to him.
His commandment is this,
that we should believe
    in the name of his Son Jesus Christ
and that we should love one another
as he commanded us.
Whoever keeps his commandments
remains in God, and God in him.
And this is the proof
    that he remains in us:
the Spirit that he has given us.

 

Third condition:
to be on guard against Antichrists
and against the world

My dear friends,
not every spirit is to be trusted,
but test the spirits
    to see whether they are from God,
for many false prophets
    are at large in the world.
This is the proof of the spirit of God:
any spirit
    which acknowledges Jesus Christ,
        come in human nature,
is from God,
and no spirit
     which fails to acknowledge Jesus
is from God;
it is the spirit of Antichrist,
whose coming you have heard of;
he is already at large in the world.
Children, you are from God
and have overcome them,
because he who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world.
They are from the world,
and therefore the world
     inspires what they say,
and listens to them.
We are from God;
whoever recognises God listens to us;
anyone who is not from God
    refuses to listen to us.
This is how we can distinguish
the spirit of truth
    from the spirit of falsehood.

 

III: THE SOURCE OF LOVE AND FAITH

The source of love

My dear friends,
let us love one another,
since love is from God
and everyone who loves
    is a child of God and knows God.
Whoever fails to love does not know God,
because God is love.
This is the revelation
     of God’s love for us,
that God sent his only Son into the world
that we might have life through him.
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.
My dear friends,
if God loved us so much,
we too should love one another.
No one has ever seen God,
but as long as we love one another
God remains in us
and his love comes to its perfection in us.
This is the proof that we remain in him
and he in us,
that he has given us a share in his Spirit.
We ourselves have seen and testify
that the Father sent his Son
as Saviour of the world.
Anyone who acknowledges
    that Jesus is the Son of God,
God remains in him and he in God.
We have recognised for ourselves,
and put our faith in,
    the love God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever remains in love
    remains in God
and God in him.
Love comes to its perfection in us
when we can face
    the Day of Judgement fearlessly,
because even in this world
we have become as he is.
In love there is no room for fear,
but perfect love drives out fear,
because fear implies punishment
and no one who is afraid
    has come to perfection in love.
Let us love, then,
because he first loved us.

1 John 5: 5-21

The source of faith

Who can overcome the world
but the one who believes
    that Jesus is the Son of God?
He it is who came by water and blood,
Jesus Christ,
not with water alone
but with water and blood,
and it is the Spirit that bears witness,
for the Spirit is Truth.
So there are three witnesses,
the Spirit, water and blood;
and the three of them coincide.
If we accept
     the testimony of human witnesses,
God’s testimony is greater,
for this is God’s testimony
which he gave about his Son.
Whoever believes in the Son of God
has this testimony within him,
and whoever does not believe
is making God a liar,
because he has not believed
the testimony
    God has given about his Son.
This is the testimony:
God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
Whoever has the Son has life,
and whoever has not the Son of God
    has not life.
I have written this to you
who believe
    in the name of the Son of God
so that you may know
     that you have eternal life.

 

SUPPLEMENTS

Prayer for sinners

Our fearlessness towards him
    consists in this,
that if we ask anything
     in accordance with his will
he hears us.
And if we know
     that he listens to whatever we ask him,
we know that we already possess
     whatever we have asked of him.
If anyone sees his brother commit a sin
that is not a deadly sin,
he has only to pray,
    and God will give life to this brother
—provided that it is not a deadly sin.
There is sin that leads to death
and I am not saying
    you must pray about that.
Every kind of wickedness is sin,
but not all sin leads to death.

 

Summary of the letter

We are well aware
    that no one who is a child of God sins,
because he who was born from God
    protects him,
and the Evil One has no hold over him.
We are well aware that we are from God,
and the whole world
    is in the power of the Evil One.
We are well aware also
     that the Son of God has come,
and has given us understanding
so that we may know
     the One who is true.
We are in the One who is true
as we are in his Son, Jesus Christ.
He is the true God
and this is eternal life.
Children, be on your guard
    against false gods.

Prayer for Union with Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters.

Excerpt from the Apostles' Manual

March 26, 1996

Messenger:  I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it all.

    To be so aware of the Almighty God truly present in His splendor and glory—to know the presence of God, to see the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross behind Him—my beauteous love—words do not exist to describe the rapture of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted—a light beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of men.

    We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for the vision of God.

Note: I cried all through this writing, having the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work within you.

    And I was filled on high with His miraculous light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Note: As I finished, the bells at All Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of Fr. Carter in this great mission given to him by the Father.

For Fr. Carter from Jesus:

Jesus speaks:  To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within him.

    I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass, grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love. The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed.

    To you, My beloved son, Father Carter, I have sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth. The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb.

    There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    I have written your name, Fr. Carter, in My Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son, forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love to the priest-sons of this earth.

    I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

Messenger:  I am a messenger from God.   
                    This is God's movement to help renew the Church

Excerpt from Response to God’s Love

                                                 3 

                                                 Becoming
  

                                            Our incorporation into the mystery of Christ at baptism initiates us into a life that God intends to develop into full maturity. Our life in Christ as guided by the Spirit is not a static given, a life that is received in baptism and then simply clung to. It is not a life that we are merely to avoid losing through serious sin. Rather, it is our task to develop this life through a process of evolutionary growth. God has truly placed us in a situation of becoming. Our personal uniqueness is meant to gradually unfold into its full stature in Christ as we increasingly fulfill God's will in deepening faith, hope, and love.

       For each individual, the process of becoming is intertwined with God's plan of growth for all creation. To understand the individual Christian's situation as one of process, of becoming, it is obviously helpful, then, to realize that he or she is part of a larger picture of becoming. Consequently, let us consider three aspects—the world, the Church, and the individual Christian—all of which are in a state of becoming.

                    I am God the Father, I have spoken in the
                        message I delivered today January 13, 2002,
                        I have spoken to you through My Son,

                        January 11, 1997 and January 18, 1997.

                        Union with Jesus.

I Want My Priests to Come Back

January 17, 1994 3:40 a.m.

Jesus speaks: You know I am He Who lifts you up. In one second I can turn your feelings around and lift you up. Constantly pray to Me. You need Me through these times. Remember, I truly died for you on the cross. Remember, little one, I have chosen you to write to Me. Do you think I will ever abandon you? I am a God who truly loves His people. I love you with such ardent love. You must never doubt.

    Look into My face and see My gentleness. I am the kindest of all hearts. I am He who knows how to love with such love. Become totally lost in My arms.

    Do you think Satan will not taunt you? Put him behind you. You are being guarded by God and His heavenly court. Walk in My ways and the angels walk with you on your path. You are escorted on your way and you are never alone. You are guarded as a precious treasure that is being transported to another place.

    You need to put all your cares in My hands. You are developing true trust when you let go and let Me take over. Keep trusting and silence the ugly prompting of Satan who wants you to worry about useless things. Quit worrying and pray and play with your children. I am telling you there is so much peace and grace gained by private prayer with them. I will tend to all the details of your life. Do not worry for one moment. Put your life in My hands. I am here, little one. Read this message and all of them over and over again.

    You need to go to the Blue Book for your answers. Your answers are found there. I never leave your side. God is guarding you. Just continue to have a union with Me all through the day. All the prayer time alone with Me in one day is not enough. I want you in constant prayer.

    Turn to Me and My Blue Book. This will help many priests to come back and sit before Me in private union with Me. When priests come back to the tabernacle, the flock will begin to be led back to His altar. Priests need to read these letters. They are the preachers. If they do not value their own relationship with Jesus, if they are being led away from Me with busyness, they will not preach the intimate love of Jesus. They are so busy, but it is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I am the center and their relationship with Me is utmost.

    The priests need these messages. They need to have an intimate, close union with Me. They should be preaching "time in front of the tabernacle." They should be preaching My intense love for My people and how I have so much to give. Some sermons are so complicated--yet nothing about union with Me in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle.

    I want My priests to come back and pray before My tabernacle. I want them to read these messages and make Jesus the Center of their lives. When they are led back to Jesus, they will lead the flock home. Priests need adoration every day for at least an hour. I don't care how busy they are. None of it matters if they are not spending time in private prayer alone with Me. They need to come and get their supplies. They need to quit thinking they are doing it and turn back to turning their lives totally over to Me, to totally letting their burdens and busy lives off at the foot of My cross and letting Me lead the way.

    There is not one priest who has so much to do that he cannot do private adoration daily. When the priest comes back to the power in the Eucharist and the tabernacle, the congregation will turn to God for their troubled hearts. Satan has led priests away from Jesus. They are so busy they cannot do all their work, but this must all take second place to praying silently before God and reading His words. These letters will help many priests to come back and be intimate with Jesus.

    All the rituals, all the upkeep of the churches, all the little details, and the King of Glory sits alone! You have thrown out the baby with the bath water. You are missing the boat.

    I want the priests to read this message. Where is the reverence after Communion and who has even heard it mentioned in the church? Private union with Jesus! What an honor! I have all you need. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I am all powerful. I have all the power. I am hyper--vigilant over your lives. I guard you. Quit trying to do it yourselves. Become selfless and let Me possess your souls.

    Have the priests spread these messages. Read them in church. I want adoration of the Eucharist back. I want people to know I am God and I am coming to them in Holy Communion. I want the Blessed Sacrament exposed. I want My churches open. Union with Jesus, the love of Jesus, trust, faith, love for one another, love of God--I want all of these preached from the pulpit!

    I am the Alpha and the Omega. I want My people to be led back to the center, which is Jesus. Pray for your priests. They are under attack. If Satan can wreck the family, the priests, the children, he has it made.

    You are under attack, My beloved priests, and you, in your busyness, are being led away from your union with Jesus. Bring yourselves back to Me and let Me give you My love. I am indeed the bridegroom of your souls. I wait for My beloved ones at the altar. I long for private union with all My beloved ones.

    Come to Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Come and be lifted up to heights you never dreamed possible. I am God. Put your lives in My hands. Let Me run your life. Quit running amok. You have lost your way and are running down the wrong road. Bring your lives back to Jesus in the tabernacle.

    The world is getting farther from God every minute. Read the messages at prayer meetings. Spread them by word of mouth. The time you waste is valuable. These words are not meant to be saved. Spread them here by any means possible. I want them out, I tell you! If someone wants to read some messages, give them to them and let them read them at prayer meetings. There is no secret here. They are from Me and I want them out. I want you to speak. A lot of your discontent is in sitting around with all these messages and not spreading them. Tell your friends to speak. Speak My words here. You don't have to mention the source. Spread the messages. You are not what is important. The messages are. You will be exposed. Don't worry who knows, but don't spread your own story. Spread the messages. Like ripples on a pond, the love of God will be spread throughout the land. I have so much to give to My hurting ones. I am your God. I died for you out of deepest love. I have come in these messages to lead you back home.

    Quit worrying of details. I am He Who runs the show. Pray for guidance every day. Spend one hour in front of the tabernacle. You cannot do in a million years what I can do in one moment. Quit relying on yourselves. You are only pushing buttons. When you are fixed in Me, the right door opens. When you go it alone, you have a hard road to walk. One hour in private adoration. Be silent or read the Blue Book. Your life will become uplifted by My teaching and you will sail a blue sky.

    Spend time in silence and some in reading My words in front of Me. I am talking to you in these letters. What power, to read them in front of the tabernacle! You can't go it alone. You need My help. You need your supplies. But you must come and get them! You are following your tail around if you do it alone. I am He Who can do all this. When you realize My power in adoration, your lives will change. As long as you are too busy you will have a hard time. The soul craves this union with Me.

    Lead the priests back to adoration and the people will follow. Our leaders have become too busy for adoration. This is the key, the key to unlock the doors to the world's problems. It is found in front of the tabernacle, at daily Mass and Communion. Do the priests ever preach any of this? You have forgotten your center, Jesus, in the Eucharist! All the power is found in Jesus. You have all that you need and you walk about and decorate My churches and clean every speck of dust and repair My pews and carpet My house and fix My organs but you walk about and miss the King of Glory who sits there all alone! Spread the messages on the tabernacle. I want them out!
 

Prayer for Union With Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling in me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of The Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

    "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."

                        I ask you to put here the message October 8, 1997-
                            Seedless, Barren, No fruit on the Vine.

Message from October 8, 1997

Jesus speaks: Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine. I come to be heard and who pays Me heed. To a people of stiffs I address this issue, what think you when the water is gone from the trough?

    Do you think you will then worship the molten calf or will you be ready for surrender then?

    Oh, you thankless race, anger and wrath is the mind of your God. You do not worry, My messenger, for I am God and I speak to you. You think you are alone and I have chosen you. Your money is your god, oh people of Zion - your money in the pockets is the sound that brings you joy.

    What brings Me joy is the songs of the faithful, praising and worshipping God, but I go to the tent and there is the molten calf and an abased nation of stiffs, heartless and filled with fear. I beg of you to stop now before it is too late, but you do not know of the chastisement I have in store for you - it is under the plan of the Father.

    The children who walk in darkness carried a molten calf in their arms and the God of justice struck the earth.

    He struck you, senseless people, because you would not listen.

    I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.

    My Words are your truth, yet you try to wash them away as hearsay and of no importance.

    My Word is the Word of God mighty and true. I have been ignored and defiled in My Word. I smite you, My senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless children of Eve.

    Debased, proud and dead, really dead in your hearts.

    I give you sunshine and rain and you want flowers and glory.

    The glory is Mine or I will have to continue to listen to the wailing widow, a barren branch, a company of stiffs.

    Ignore Me no longer senseless ones. My hand is upon you. It will come down and wipe out the senseless virgins, the ones singing to the molten calf.

    Rachel could hear the slaughter of her children and she wept such bitter tears. The Lady Clothed as the Sun bore the barren race; they did not come to her grace-filled womb.

    The thankless race marched into a pit of doom and destruction.

    As I was pressed in the garden watching the days at hand, as I was squeezed, what came forth from My pores was the saving Blood for the children of Zion and when they ate from the land they feasted on rich food and strong drinks, the candy of the earth and it made them sick - sick to the death of their souls and the Lady Clothed as the Sun heard the cries of her sick children. I give you the medicine for the sick children in these writings and they chase you and make you fall to the ground. I watched you skin your knees when you carried the scrolls that contained My letters of love, My words from the depths of My Heart. You fell as I once did on the way to Calvary. I fell, I skinned My knees, My Body burned and I got up and went to the end.

    The end was the beginning for the children of Zion for at that hill My cross was planted erect, a tree of life, and the juice that was squeezed 'till there was no more from the one "Son of Man, the Son of God", was the juice of the Man. It was His saving Blood.

    They pressed Me in the Garden of Olives and I bled for the thankless race. They hung Me on a tree on the hill of Calvary. When I gave them the New Eve they chose the molten calf. They spit on My Mother, they ignored the visitations. She came and gave to the children to remind them of their covenant with God.

    Oh senseless ones, so many will now fall, for I hung there and to the right was one and to the left another. The one was saved; the other was cursed. You picked from the tree when you should have obeyed your Father. He gave you His will. He said, "You may eat of all the trees in the garden but not this one." and you continually ate of the forbidden fruit. I warned you, My children, and you chased My messengers and made them run. I gave to you My Book of Life, My Bible, and you ate the sick fruit and it made you so sick you wanted to die but you kept eating when I told you the end was near and now that the end has come, what do you say for yourself? You ignored the Lady Clothed as the Sun. She appeared in all glory and splendor and so many months later so few go to her site to even see her. So is it My fault or yours our money does not come to publish your books and tell the world about the Woman in Florida? It is not My fault, I am God. I am the faultless One.

    You want joy. I have no joy for the likes of you, My children of Zion, you have usurped My thrones and treated My body as rubbish. I am God. I come in the Eucharist and I am ignored. I speak no longer. The days that follow will be the days to cleanse this earth.

    I am angered beyond all anger for the way My Mother has been treated in Florida by the thankless race. They have worshipped the molten calf and ignored the Lady of Light, the Lady Clothed as the Sun, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing forth her children. The good will suffer with the bad; the wheat will be separated from the darnel (weeds). You walked like little stiff men with your haughty hearts. Your heads were your gods. I gave you great minds to comprehend My mysteries and you used your minds to worship false gods and make movies that defile My priesthood. What of your minds? I do not even have energy to tell you how unworthy you used the mind, the intellect I gave you. You used this great faculty to commit the worst sins, and My head was crowned with the sharpest thorns for your sick earth. Oh, you squeezed the Blood from the Son of Man. You pressed that Man in the garden, when He knew this race of this day.

    I now see the Woman on the building, My Mother, so loving to the children I gave her and the mean ones threw acid on her face. Oh, you race of vile hearts and thankless ways. I will clothe the holy ones in the white robes of glory. The thankless ones I will turn over to the red men that will hand them over to the keeper of the pit and their bodies will be burned in the burning sulfur of the pool of death. Come, My children of light, your Mother called you through the consecration. She showed you the way home to My Heart. She carried a lighted lamp and lighted your way in the darkness. You were not foolish like the virgins that carried a lamp without a light. Your light for the lamp was My life alive in your hearts. When the darkest night comes you will know the flames of My love alive in your lighted hearts, burning with the fire from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give you the fuel, My faithful virgins. I gave you the fuel to light your lamps that in the dark night that lies ahead, you will still shine as a beacon light, a light of intense brightness no matter how dark the night. You will not die for your refuge is the fire of the Sacred Heart and you gave your heart to the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate One and she took you to the Heart of your Savior. She took you home and you dwelt within the chamber of My Heart and you were protected from the evil one in these last days. You tried to spread this consecration. It is the key that leads to the place of refuge. So many camps the devil told men to prepare and they labored in vain, for the Word was had in dwelling in Our Hearts. You would find refuge and they missed the message and busied themselves with the work of the evil one.

    I say to you what refuge survived when Noah built his ark? Only those on the ark survived the great flood. You prepare your earth. When My Word was to prepare your hearts. Then again, they worshipped the church building, the grounds and the wood and their hearts were left as cold vaults. I beg you, My beauteous ones, to beg the men to prepare their hearts before it is too late. Only the Ark of the Covenant will be the means of survival in this dark age. When the moon turns to blood they will run away frightened and their buildings will be like cold vaults - only the hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will survive.

    You were willful and too busy to know the story. The story is this: There is but one home; it is the Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Mother is the gatekeeper. It is through her Immaculate Heart you enter. She is the singular vessel, a New Eve, a Woman Clothed as the Sun, a doorway to the everlasting abyss of Light, the Light of the World, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of the Son of Man.

    There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - they will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death.
