January 31, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        We take the Mass for granted many times.

                            This is real that the Divine God loves us so much and gives
                                Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist.
                            The Mass is so powerful.
                            God is my life.
                            I see the connection so strong.
                            I see how God loves us so much and wants us to be one.
                            At Mass we can be united in such oneness in Him.
                            I love Him so very much.
                            I long for the Mass.
                            I want to be so united to heaven and earth and pray
                                so deeply at Mass that His will is done.
                            My heart is elated far more than anything I can
                                express on this paper but my deep love for Him
                                enkindled in the Mass beckons me to write and
                                write about the treasure given to us in the Mass.

                            Oh I love the Mass so much.
                            I want to be at Mass and be with Jesus before
                                the tabernacle.
                            I want to sing for joy to receive Him.
                            I want to beg for such grace to be outpoured at
                                the Lamb of God.
                            Oh God You are so good to us.
                            I do not have to fear the things of this earth
                                and people. God is with me and I love Him
                                so much. I live for Him. My life is His. It can
                                only get better. I know I will be with Him
                                forever in heaven if I love and serve Him.

                            Oh my Jesus, I love Thee so very much.
                            If we had to do without so many Masses
                                how would we handle it?
                            The priest is so important to us.
                            Our church is such a gift.
                            Oh, this is real.

                            My heart is in such joy to love Him so
                                much and know Him and know He is
                                here with me and He gives me Himself
                                in the Eucharist.

                            Oh God, I love Thee so very much.
                            Oh God, I love You.

Messenger:        I came to the cathedral and I usually

                                here.
                            It is here I received the Prayer Before 
                                the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

          


 

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

Messenger:        To those Churches who pray the Shepherds of

                                    outpour special graces to the people
                                    to want to attend frequent Mass.

                            As the Mass sizes increase from fervent
                                souls consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus
                                and Mary, Our Lord promises that
                                greater and greater graces will
                                be poured out on that parish
                                for greater holiness.

                            Our handmaid said she

                                now hundreds of people attend daily
                                Mass. Where very few were attending
                                Mass, now there are hundreds there.

                            Think of all that grace being outpoured from  
                                those heavily attended Masses on
                                weekdays.

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."

Messenger:         This really is a calling—
     

Shepherds of Christ

                            We are called to be a little remnant praying
                                for the priests, the Church and the
                                world and we are getting more and more
                                graces every time we pray the
                                prayers Jesus told Fr. Carter to
                                compile. We are getting greater graces
                                to be Shepherds of Christ.

                            When we pray the prayers, Jesus promised 
                                Fr. Carter He would take those praying
                                them deeper and deeper into His Heart
                                to unite more intimately with Him.

                            Today is the day to realize, Jesus can
                                give grace any way He chooses.

                            Jesus has given us these prayers
                                with a promise of great
                                grace for ourselves and our
                                churches and families when
                                we pray them.

                            Here are some promises Jesus gave
                                November 4, 2001.

   


  

Excerpt from November 4, 2001 message

Jesus speaks:  To those who pray My prayers I
                        promise the following special
                        graces:

                                 - A deeper understanding of the 
                                     Divine Mysteries through fervent
                                     recitation of the litanies.

                                 - I promise a deeper love in your heart
                                     for your God and a deeper love
                                     for your fellowmen.

                                 - Those who pray the prayers fervently
                                    will experience a deep union 
                                    in My Heart and My Mother's heart,
                                    they will be given special insights
                                    into My unfathomable love for men
                                    and experience a thirsting within
                                    themselves to want to help souls
                                    through intercessory prayer and sacrifices.

                                 - They will have a deeper love of the Mass
                                    through this deeper consecration.
                                    [consecration to Their Hearts]

                                 - They will know Me more intimately.

                                 - They will want to live their lives to 
                                    help save souls.

                                 - They will have a deeper love for the priests shepherds.
                                 - They will have a deeper love and dedication
                                    to the Church. (I founded)

                                 - They will want peace on the earth.
                                 - They will want peace in their own hearts.

                                 - You will experience a fearlessness the more
                                    you pray the Holy Spirit Novena prayers
                                    given to you.

                                 - As you meditate on the scriptures you will
                                    understand more fully the plan of
                                    the Father to lead the souls into the
                                    great Reign of My Sacred Heart.

                                 - You and all who pray the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers will be
                                    united in a deep oneness with each other
                                    and the souls of the earth.

                                 - The more you pray these prayers (both sets)
                                    you will live in the truth as you
                                    dwell in Our Hearts.

                                  - You will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit.

                                  - You and your family will be protected by
                                    My Precious Blood and your families
                                    will receive special protection
                                    against satan from fervent recitation
                                    of the prayers. (the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers)

                                 - I promise to take you and the members of
                                    your family in a special way
                                    into My Sacred Heart. I will lavish
                                    you in the fires of My love.

                                 - The priests and the people of the Church and the world
                                    will receive special graces from the fervent
                                    recitation of these prayers. (both sets)

                                 - I will unite My people in a deeper love
                                    from the graces granted from
                                    fervent recitation of these prayers.

                                 - I give these prayers from My image site
                                    in Florida.
                                   I appear there daily as the Sacred Heart.
                                   Some see Me, some do not, but there
                                    is a special presence there.
                                   My Mother appears there for her children.

                                 - In the five years of her apparitions many
                                    souls who have come have been
                                    given special graces of conversion.
                                    Many have been given grace to lead
                                    them into a deeper love union with
                                    God and the Blessed Virgin.

                                 - The image site in Florida has touched
                                    the world.

                                 - I outpour great grace to those who come
                                    to the site.

                                 - There are tremendous graces of healing
                                    granted to all who come.

                                 - People who come rarely leave unchanged.
                                 - The grace granted works in their lives and in
                                    their hearts, long after they have gone.

                                 - A reminder of their visit only need be given
                                    and they experience a memory of
                                    that moment.

                            Say with me
                                Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we entrust
                                    our country, our world and all the people
                                     in it to Your most Sacred Heart.

                                Most Immaculate Heart of Mary
                                    we entrust our country, our world and
                                    everyone in it to your Immaculate
                                    Heart.

                            We pray dear Father—
                                that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will
                                reign in the hearts of all men on
                                this earth and the Immaculate
                                Heart will triumph.

                                We consecrate our world, all people
                                    and all places to the Immaculate
                                    Heart of Mary and the Sacred
                                    Heart of Jesus.

                                This is something to cheer about.

                                Jesus is risen.

                                He gives us a sharing in His life.

                                We have been called Shepherds of
                                    Christ, to pray for the priests,
                                    the Church and the world.

                                It is a calling indeed.
                                We have received special graces to follow
                                    our calling as Shepherds of Christ.

                                We have been called to be intercessors.

                                We have been called to help bring
                                    about the Reign of the
                                    Sacred Heart of Jesus and the
                                    triumph of Mary's Immaculate
                                    Heart.

                                We see from the promise Jesus gave to
                                    Fr. Carter July 31, 1994, that
                                    Jesus is giving us great grace
                                    to be closer to Him.

Messenger:        Our Lord has asked me to put on the
                                Mass Book II. He wants one entry
                                each day. This will be the ninth
                                entry today. Pray for Grace to love
                                God more and read each entry every
                                day. See if it helps you grow closer 
                                to God—Father Son and Holy Spirit.
                                See how your relationship progresses
                                with God over this period of time.

                            We want to print the Mass Book II and
                                we'll need funds to do that.

                            The entries in the Mass Book II were
                                received about the same time as when
                                Father Carter wrote the Priestly Newsletter
                                Book II, also the last year of his life.

                            We need funds for the mailing of the Priestly
                                Newsletter Book II. It's coming along
                                good. Hopefully they will get the book
                                out this week. Very soon it will be in
                                the hands of the priests.

   

    

~ September 3, 2000 ~

      
Our prayer must be that men do the will of God.

  

Matthew 12:46-50

The true kinsfolk of Jesus

    He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'

  

        We pray more and more that we and all  men on the earth live according to His will.

    We are holy ones praying for this, we are intercessors for Christ.

    We dwell in Their Hearts.

    Within me is a place I go.

    I know that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within me most abundantly when I am in the state of grace.

    I know He lives in me.

    There is a place that I can connect within myself to the Almighty God-He dwells within me.

    I am united to Jesus as my bridegroom at every second, so it is as St. Paul says...

  

Galatians 2:19

    In fact, through the Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

  

    As I become one in Him, I unite in deep union with the Father.

    I feel His presence with me. 

    As Jesus served the Father as a Son and did His will, I am an adopted son or daughter of the Father and I live to serve Him by living in His will. 

    This is our prayer:  The Our Father.

  

Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

  

~ September 3, 2000 continues ~

    We live to give glory to God, to help to bring about the kingdom. Our every action is important to this, teaching our children, changing a baby's diaper, going to work, everything is to give glory to God, helping to bring about the Kingdom of God more alive in us.

    Teaching children to obey is teaching them about the secret of living the spiritual life according to God's will. Our desire as parents or ones in authority is to only do God's will ourselves.

    We are under Him. It isn't that a person in authority is on the top, the head, there is always the realization that God is the head and we are under Him acting in His name to those under us. We are the messengers, so to speak, of God's message to our children.

    We are creatures of God, God is always over us. Children that are willful and get away with it are really hurting themselves. To grow in the spiritual life one must learn to be under authority and those in authority must realize they are under God and try to serve Him and live by His rule.

    It is sad, for example, when a person as one with authority speaks publicly and tries to get others to abort babies.

    God's rules stand-we are under Him.

    The person that rises up against God's rule is like Eve in the garden.

    God Rules.

    Do you see the wonders of the earth? Oh, God is so good and He gives us a free will to choose Him. If we love and serve Him, we will go to heaven.

    What is love if it is forced?

    God wants love freely given.

    He wants us to grow in the ways of love and to respect Him as Supreme, the One over us.

    But what is love, if we would be forced to do it?

    GOD IS SUPREME, HOLY, ALL PERFECT, ALL LOVING, ALMIGHTY, GOD IS MAGNIFICENT.

    GOD deserves GLORY.

    GOD created us to love Him.

    GOD commands we love Him and others.

    WE ARE NOT ON TOP! GOD IS!

    WE MUST PRAY THAT ALL DO GOD'S WILL.

    WE MUST PRAY THAT ALL MEN MAKE THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS THE KING AND CENTER OF THEIR HEARTS,

    AND MARY THE QUEEN OF THEIR HEARTS.

    Pray the Our Father as a little child with all your heart.

    Pray the Hail Mary to Our Mother, honoring her and asking for help.

    Pray the Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    Pray the Rosary, it is the child's prayer...

Our Father...
Hail Mary
and the Holy Spirit works to enlighten us as we meditate on the Mysteries of the Lives of Jesus and Mary.
