Messenger: O Lights of
heaven —
Oh my beloved God I love you —
We are here on this earth such a short
time —
I deeply feel united to all.
It is such a gift to know love as a
family as we do in the
Shepherds of Christ.
We want everything to work out perfectly
as we plan things and then
things work out differently than
we plan.
We give and we receive.
One of the classes Fr. Carter had me
teach for him many times was
on Chapter 8 of Response to
God's Love.
I learned very much from preparing
for and teaching this class.
Fr. Carter's book Response to God's Love
helped me so much in my
spiritual life.
Definition by Fr. Carter
Love is the gift of self to promote
the true good of those loved.
John 4: 19-21
‘I see you are a prophet, sir,’ said the woman. ‘Our
fathers worshipped on this mountain, though you say that Jerusalem is the place
where one ought to worship.’ Jesus said:
Believe me, woman, the
hour is coming
when you will worship the Father
neither on this mountain
nor in
Jerusalem.

Messenger: We love because God first loved us.
Sin is an act of hatred against
myself.
From Fr. Carter's notes in class
A mystic receives a knowledge of what
it is to be loved by God above
the ordinary.
Fr. Carter said hidden knowledge is
revealed to the mystic in the
mystical experience.
A mystical act is one in which God
is experienced in more than an
ordinary fashion.
One may experience a mystical act
and never enter the mystical
state.
Only when mystical acts become
frequent is one considered
to be in the mystical state.

The Mystery of Christ and
Christian Existence
|
| ...God himself is the ultimate mystery.
Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man
in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly
look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression,
in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is,
then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the
Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring
forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's
self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's
inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression.
Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In
Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his
plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how
they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he
has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells
us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission
God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery
hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy
ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price
which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in
you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we
admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping
to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb,
the Bridegroom of
the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my
soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go,
to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are
the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love
You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine
Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Messenger: It is a
gift God gives to us to share
so deeply in His life.
For all eternity to be possessed by God
to deeply experience that union
with God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit
and to write of this is my hearts
delight —
For wherever we are on the spiritual
journey we can always experience
God deeper and deeper.
We can not even fathom what it will
be like to be united with God
in heaven —
This is reality —
We were created for Him —
We see with shaded glasses —
God reveals Himself as He chooses —
We must be open and
wanting to let Him act in us —
He is the bridegroom — we are the soul
waiting His favor.
Oh how to explain my desire to have
Him inside of me as He comes
in communion and why would
I run from there when the moments
with Him are the desire of my
soul — it lasts such a short time
that intense union I feel after
communion and I beg Him
to stay in this intensity and
never leave me — I want Him
so deeply — then my thoughts go
to the intensity of being embraced
by Him for all eternity and
knowing Him and insights into
the hidden mysteries and I
beg the Holy Spirit to enlighten
me that I might know God more —
ever deeper now, I want enlightenment
so much — I know I see so
little of what there is to see, to
know and at times when He
outpours His special grace, I
cry at every word or picture or thought
of God, the Eucharist, the Saints,
seeing a picture — I can't almost look
at the host at the "through Him, with Him
and in Him" because of the emotion
inside of me is so great I may
gasp and fall to my knees or cry out —
Today I saw a halo around the whole host
at the elevation of the host —
At every Mass Fr. Carter would celebrate
I saw the "transparent" halo come
out around the host —
he would lift the host and it was,
as if someone slid it up from behind
I watched it — it made me cry —
it was so holy —
I knew the gift was for me and
I felt so close to the Divine
God truly present on the altar.
I miss Fr. Carter and his Masses.
Today I asked that he be united
with us in a special way, so
deeply united and my desire praying
so deeply for the earth, the souls I love
so much, never seems like I can ever
pray deep enough for my desire and
love for the souls is so great and
I want grace to be released and the
world to be the way God wants it
to be so much, I can't do anything
but pray with every cell in my
body for the world to be changed
by God's grace and I know
so much can happen from the
one Mass I am attending.
I know some priests are deeply united,
but I think that priests do not
realize the power God has given
them —
A priest can change bread and wine
into the Body and Blood of
Jesus in the Mass.
That is so much power.
A priest can bless a place where
there have been evil things and
the place can change.
They have power, given from God to
administer the sacraments —
I am in awe of the gifts given to
the priest — that power —
Satan knows how the priests
have so much power —
Satan knows the power in
the Eucharist —
Satan is waging a war against
our priests and the Church.
Our God has asked us to pray so
deeply for our priests —
He began this Movement, Shepherds of Christ,
to pray for the priests

Words of Jesus to Members
of Shepherds of Christ Associates:
"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the
priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds
of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and
the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds
of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to
My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of
Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will
use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate
Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the
members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be
deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to
My Father in the Holy Spirit."

so deeply.
I must say this — the people in the Shepherds of Christ
really love Jesus very much —
many give themselves selflessly to
help spread this knowledge
God has revealed to you.

Mysticism
...At times, however, we become
more than ordinarily conscious of the workings of grace. We experience in a
special way that we are being led by the Spirit's illuminations and
inspirations. When we are exposed to this special awareness or consciousness, we
are experiencing a mystical act in the strictest sense of the term—that is to
say, we are more passive or more aware of the passive or mystical component of
our actions. All of us, then, can occasionally experience mystical acts;
however, it is only when these mystical acts become predominant and habitual
that a person enters the mystical state. The mystical state is a state in which
the Christian becomes consistently aware of God and of God's guidance during his
or her daily activity. The mystical state makes the Christian more aware of
God's initiative—namely, that God is always communicating himself and his
grace, and that our task is to be open to God's gift. Far from relieving us of
active effort, the mystical state makes our activity much more open and docile
to the touch of the Spirit.
This, then, is psychological
mysticism—namely, entrance into the mystical state. It is ontological
mysticism—the mystery of Christ—come alive in the Christian's consciousness
and consistently so. Psychological mysticism is subjective mysticism—it is, in
other words, the subject's more or less habitual and experiential awareness of
what it means to be alive in Christ. Psychological mysticism is a consistent and
experiential awareness of transformation in Christ: "I have been crucified
with Christ, and the life I live now is not my own; Christ is living in me. I
still live my human life, but it is a life of faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me" (Gal
2:19
-20).
We are now in a position to
delineate the three main characteristics of subjective or psychological
mysticism. In the first place, the heart of mysticism lies in the experiential
awareness, in Christ, of God and the things of God—an awareness that we have
just briefly described. We emphasize again, however, that this is not a sporadic
type of awareness, but one that is consistent or habitual. By habitual we do not
mean an awareness that necessarily penetrates in a heightened fashion every
moment of the Christian's daily life. We do mean, though, an awareness that
clearly predominates the person's consciousness, dynamically and consistently
influencing daily actions. Psychological mysticism, then, is experienced not
only during formal or set periods of prayer, but also throughout the course of
one's daily activities. What is more, this mystical experience of God is not
merely an intellectual awareness; it is an awareness that permeates one's total
being. It is an awareness that rises out of one's lived experience of the
Christ-event, while at the same time it conversely allows one to continue to
live this mystery of Christ consistently and ever more deeply.
The second leading characteristic
of psychological or subjective mysticism consists in the element of passivity
that has already been alluded to. To reiterate, this passivity is a growing
openness and docility to the touch of the Spirit. It is both the mystic's
maturing realization of how much the Spirit wants to guide his or her activity,
and an increasing desire to allow the Spirit to so act. This passivity of
mystical experience is, finally, the mystic's growing awareness of how helpless
he or she is without God, an awareness that is coupled with a deep desire to
commit self to God's loving care.
The third characteristic of
mysticism is the profound unity that permeates the mystical awareness or
consciousness. The mystic has achieved a deep unity in his or her existence,
that is, the mystic's entire life is profoundly unified and simplified. In the
mystic's closeness to God, he or she participates to a marked degree in God's
unity. Sharing intimately in God's knowing activity through faith, the mystic
sees God and all reality according to God's uniform design; sharing profoundly
in God's love activity, the mystic loves God and his creation with a deep and
unifying dynamism. This sense of unity comes about in the mystic, not primarily
as a result of a thought-out process, but because of a profound living of the
Gospel. The mystic lives Christ, not superficially, but to the inner depths of
his or her person. The mystic lives the really real in Christ very vitally; out
of this deep experience of God and all reality, the mystic lays hold of the
wondrous unity and harmony that is involved...

January 21, 2003 message continues
Messenger:
On
January 20, 1996 and January 21, 1996
I suffered very deeply, every year after that
I suffered on these dates.
There are very many holy priests but the Church
is in the state of becoming more as God intends.
Here is a quote from Father Carter's book
Response to God's Love,
"Consequently, let us consider three aspects—
the world, the Church, and the
individual Christian—
all of which are in a state of becoming."
The Church is the bride of Christ.
Christ is the Bridegroom of our soul
and He wants us to have a deep union
with Him.
He wants His priests to love Him this way
and to tell the people about it.
Here is a quote from Father Carter's book
Mysticism of Everyday published by Sheed & Ward.
Excerpt from Fr. Carter's book
The Mysticism of Everyday
Excerpt from Chapter 3
Mysticism and Love
St. John of the Cross tells us how this
mutual exchange
of gifts between God and the Christian reaches its cul-
minating point in the spiritual marriage--mysticism's
highest stage: "It now remains for the said Spiritual Mar-
riage to be made between the soul aforementioned and the
Son of God. This is without comparison far greater than the
Spiritual Bethrothal because it is a total transformation in
the Beloved, wherein on either side there is made surrender
by total possession of the one to the other with a certain
consummation of union of love. ..."
4
Although the spiritual marriage marks the
highest ex-
change between God and the mystic, it is very important to
realize that a lesser exchange occurs in the lower realms of
the spiritual life. God in his love is always calling the
spiritual pilgrim, inviting her or him to receive his greater
self-communication, inviting the person to make a greater
gift of self to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We have briefly discussed God's love for us
and ours for
him. As we progress in our treatment of Christian love, we
remind ourselves that much of God's will for us pertains to
our relationship with our neighbor. Love of God and love of
neighbor are, indeed, inseparably linked. St. John, in a
well-known Scriptural passage, vividly reminds us of this:
"If anyone says, 'I love God,' but hates his brother, he is a
liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen
cannot love God whom he has not seen" (1 Jn 4:20).
The mystical process involves a maturing
realization of
why John's statement is true. Growth in the mystical jour-
ney includes an increased awareness that one is made in
God's image. Increased awareness of this regarding oneself
gives a proportionate consciousness of one's neighbor as
also being in the divine image. To love God, then, neces-
sarily means to love one's neighbor whose existence posses-
ses the divine imprint.

Here
are the messages Our Lord wanted me
to put in today from January 20, 1996
and January 21, 1996.
January 20, 1996 - After Communion
Jesus speaks: My beloved priests:
I love you with
the deepest love. Many of you are going through motions. Your hearts are
cold and you have turned yourselves to the things of this world.
I came to you
with a kind and loving heart and I am rejected by My beloved chosen ones.
I call you to
love, to a deep love affair with Me. How My Heart bleeds for the
indifference and coldness of many of My priests.
I call you to
love – to giving of yourselves, to consecration to My Heart and the heart
of My Mother.
I suffered so
through My Passion, but My greatest agony was from the coldness and lack of
love I received from My beloved priests.
I beg you, My
child, to speak to My priests, to speak to all who will listen about My
burning love. I give to you great graces that you may deliver the messages
of Our love for this world.
I will shelter
you in My Heart and lead you on your way to speak to the religious about the
Mass.
I call you to
speak and to sing My songs of love.
How I love you.
I have chosen you. I am asking for your selflessness to respond to My
request. Speak – I speak in you. Love, Jesus
end of January 20, 1996, message
January 21, 1996 - 6:00 a.m.
Jesus speaks: How My Heart ached for the rejection of
those I loved so dearly, some of My beloved priests and religious. I am
espoused to them in a special way, and I am treated with such disrespect and
irreverence by many of them. They wear the titles, "Father" and
"Sister" and do not even come to Me.
It is being loved
by an unfaithful spouse. They are busy for their own self-gratification and
have forgotten the great title I have bestowed on them.
They do not see
how favored they are by Me, the Almighty God. They seek their love from all
other sources.
How it offends My aching Heart!
The thorns that surround My Heart pierced deeply because of the indifference
of some of My beloved priests and sisters.
It is through
their love I give such love to My flock and the devil has led them astray. My
flock is withering and dying in their hearts for many of My chief shepherds
have gone astray.
I beg, beg, beg
you to speak to the priests and religious, to spread My Second Blue Book
to all priests. Do not worry about the funds. My flock is dying from within.
Their hearts have shriveled within their chest. They go through motions.
Do the priests
stand before the people and preach the love of God from their hearts or from
their mouths?
The love given to
Me from My religious is so shallow. I am rejected entirely by many, yet they
continue to administer the Sacraments and carry their titles. They do not
realize the great honor that is given to them!
You suffer the
pains in My Heart for My beloved religious. The rejection, the busyness, the
lack of love – how this offends My tender Heart.
The religious are
My chosen ones. I picked them and gave them My tenderest love. Some have
hearts that have turned to ice.
The priest is the
key to spreading the messages of My burning love in the Church. Many speak
without emotion for in their hearts they are dead. They do not fill their own
hearts with the love of God. They try to fill their hearts with the world and
speak about the love of God.
I lament
the lack of love from My chosen priests. The families come, the hungry souls
come to be fed and many priests do not feed their hunger.
I love, I love so
deeply My beloved religious. I cry out to spread these messages of My burning
love.
They are going
through motions. My beloved flock comes to My altar with cold hearts. Many
priests are cold in their hearts. The world is cold in their heart. The
families that go to church are not being fed with messages of My burning love.
Mass after Mass,
after Mass is said lacking emotion. Where are the hearts that empty
themselves? Please circulate the messages about the Mass. When will the time
be right?
I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Life. Unless the messages of My burning love are transmitted in
the Church the bloodshed will continue. Your Church bears the marks of sin and
suffering. My love, burning and on fire is the mighty medicine for the sick
world and the Church. I beg you to circulate these messages on the Mass and
the rosary. I am Jesus. My souls are hungry and begging to be fed.
Pray for the
priests as never before. Satan has waged a war against the priesthood. Priests
and religious need to have a devotion to My Sacred Heart and My Mother's
Immaculate Heart. Until hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts there will not be
peace in the world. Consecrate your homes and your hearts to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I love with the
deepest burning love. I want hearts that love Me with a deep, burning love.
Come to Me and I will teach you about love. Go to the world and you will be
taught the things of the world. The hearts of many of the members of My Church
have turned cold. Give them the messages of My burning love! Little children
need to know how I love them! What good is it for a man to run down a road
that leads nowhere?
I am the Way. I am the only way. Life is
not life if it is not rooted in Me.

Excerpt from the Mass Book
T
HE EARTH STOPPED
AND TOUCHED HEAVEN
I long to unite in the deepest union with Him in the
Eucharist. I long for the Mass. I long for Thee, oh God. My every moment, I
join as I did to You December 15 under the cross, where I felt Your presence.
You whisked me away, and I was totally absorbed in that moment of celestial
union with You. For that time, I existed only in You, in the deepest union,
and I was in this moment existing in You. The earth stopped, and I touched the
heavens, all my bodily cares were existent in You. I existed in Your Divinity,
my being was in You. There was no desire or wish or wanting, for in that
moment, I had all I wanted in You. I was satisfied and wanted nothing but to
remain in that embrace. You were the Being, and my being existed in You, but I
was only as I was in You - merged in You, knowing and being in Your Divinity
and being so full as to feel complete in myself.
You are so enormous, and You surrounded me in a burning
embrace, the presence of red fire. I was not little, or "nothing",
but existed in this enormous power and being so complete!
I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the
waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in
the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You,
in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and
satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper.
I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this
experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In
Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He
takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and
we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long
for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of
the Divine God, and I am IN Him.
This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with
Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our
lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God
and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our
humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness
with Him.
The word I have looked for is "oneness." I
understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is
the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth
to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that
moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my
soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.
Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union
with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your
divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable
Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.
Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation
to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.
Song from Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving
Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.
He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart -
wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave
Himself to me in the deepest union.
Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns
and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.
Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning
love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests
need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip
service love doesn't do it.
He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love
Him.

Excerpt from the Mass Book
IN
THE DEEPEST RECESSES
OF HIS HEART
The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of
His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat
and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in
Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him.
There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was
wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power
I know was His deep presence in which I existed.
I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His
immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as
a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most
special way.
I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy
Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN
Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is
these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God,
with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He
took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I
touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace
of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in
His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.
We do not understand the fire of His love. We do not
understand what it is to be absorbed by love itself. He took me to the inner,
deepest chamber of His Heart, and I felt the heat and knew the presence of
love itself, and there was no fear, only a feeling of completeness,
omnipotence, all-embracing, penetrating love - a power indescribable in words,
a saturation of my being in the presence of God, and I was as I was created to
be - living in Him!
This is how I will forever live my life, saturated with
His divine life and love deep within this inner chamber of His burning Heart,
living in Him as He possesses my being, and I operate with His power in me.
Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power,
His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in
Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our
fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him -
in the Heart of Jesus.
Let no man separate what God has joined together. I am
wed in the deepest love with my beloved Spouse, wed to the Heart of Jesus. As
I am, I am one in Him. I live and I breathe in Him. He, Who is love, He Who is
our all, He Who is mighty and without limits, He Who is, He Who is God and as
I live, He lives in me in this world.
I am wed to Him, and I shall not fear for He is God -
one, complete, loving, God. Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. As I
live, I live in Your most adorable Heart, the furnace of God's love!
