From June 1, 2004 message

Messenger:         We need to work on ourselves. Examine our
                        consciences. Tell God we are sorry for our
                        sins.

                            There are stumbling blocks we have within
                        ourselves that cause us problems and may
                        have for years.

                            Praying for grace and cooperating with
                        that grace to see beyond our blindness
                        can help us get over willful ways we may
                        act and move on to a new place of
                        holiness — greater purity — living as the
                        Lord desires of us.

                            Holiness — What is it?

                            How does consecrating our hearts to
                        the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                        help us to be more holy.

                            Holiness is living a life of purity,
                        but because of our fallen human nature
                        we may have blindness and had blindnesses
                        for years about ways in which we act
                        that block our continued work to become
                        more like Christ wants.

                            In the St. Ignatian retreat our
                        focus is to let go of those inordinate
                        attachments that keep us stuck in
                        actions that hurt our spiritual life
                        and ultimately hurt others.

                            What keeps us stuck? Jealousy
                        is a big problem. When we stop
                        relationships between others that can
                        help further the Kingdom — because of
                        jealousy — wanting to be overly possessive to
                        another because of selfishness can block things.

                            We want all to work according to
                        their talents. We have all known "mother-
                        hens" who have stopped the individuals
                        progress by hovering over them,
                        enabling them to be dependent children.

                            We all want to operate in strength
                        doing God's will, being in one mind and
                        one heart.

                            There is a line in relationships —
                        there is the line in which both
                        parties perform actions
                        according to God's will to promote the
                        Kingdom.

                            Inside of me is a heart so fixed on
                        my Divine Lover that nothing I say or
                        do with others should be anything that
                        could hurt that union with Him.

                            He is my "motor-force" — He is my
                        beloved, my spouse, my one and my
                        all, He is the Divine God — and nothing
                        here on this earth could be above Him
                        to me.

                            I use the Blue Books and the messages.
                        They really help me. Sometimes we get pressed
                        on by satan to try to tempt us to do
                        things for our own honor and glory which
                        can become more important to us than
                        God's honor and glory ultimately.

                            A child can go in a candy store and
                        choose all kinds of candies. If a
                        child lives at the candy counter his
                        teeth and body will suffer, besides other
                        things that may be effected like — how he acts
                        living on a "sugar-high".

                            Life here on earth is a series of days and minutes
                        and hours and we have just so many. We have
                        bodies that soon die — like the decaying
                        flowers, they fade and fall to the ground —
                        the life goes from them and they become dried
                        up.

                            Man has a soul, our soul goes on
                        somewhere. Our time is here to prepare
                        us for the life hereafter.

October 1, 2004

My dear friends,

    I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you
in love. In these troubled times of the election and war
and wonders of peace — we have suffered many hurricanes
since Mary's image head was knocked off.

    Florida appeared to be squeezed like a wet wash cloth
August 13, 2004 a hurricane, September 5, 2004 another hurricane,
September 13, 2004 another hurricane. Jesus sent me to Florida last
Thursday to take the path across Florida, 60 and 70 to bless
the state before the hurricane. It was terrible — I was on
the west side all through it. On September 5th I was in the building
in Clearwater and on August 13, 2004 the hurricane was averted as
we prayed in China.

   Mary's message of peace must be sent to the priests.
A Jesuit with the blessing of his provincial and his rector has
completed the Priestly Newsletter — he studied in Rome and can
teach in the Pontifical Colleges — The Newsletter is literally a
work of art dedicated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary based on
the Word and the writings of the Church. It will be a special
issue and surprise to you. It is ready to go to 75,000 priests.
We need at least $7,000 for the postage in the United States and
then the foreign mailing. It can really help the world in
these decisive times before the election.

   October 13, 2004 is the 87th anniversary of Mary's last apparition
at Fatima. We need to make reparation to God for how Mary's
image was destroyed. We are about to put protection over Jesus'
face which is costly. Please we desperately need your help to do this.
MARY IS THE QUEEN OF PEACE — spreading the consecration
to the 2 Hearts to 75,000 priests can help the peace of this world.

LOVE in Their Hearts, Rita

   

 October 1, 2004

     We have had many trials in Florida .

 

     Mary appeared 7 years every day before her image head was knocked off.

 

 

     We pray from Clearwater and all our centers for the priests the Church and the world united on the internet and with many others.

 

     Fr. Carter our founder circulated the Priestly Newsletter for over 8 years.

 

     A Jesuit of over 40 years and who can teach in the Gregorian colleges in Rome and all pontifical colleges has written the new Priestly Newsletter to continue the work Jesus gave to Fr. Carter 10 years ago. Fr. Carter died.

 

The day he accepted was Pentecost Eve - here is the picture taken.

   
 



     At 6:20 our prayer time. He accepted with the blessing of his provincial and rector.

     Here is a message from Jesus to Fr. Carter when Fr. Carter began the Newsletter that finally went to 85,000 priests.

 

July 31, 1994

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."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

 

August 1, 1994

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ

Messenger: The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.

Mary speaks: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.

I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

Excerpt from October 1, 2004 message

 

God the Father speaks:

                            I sent Mary as a messenger to
                                you --
                            You ignored her
                            You defaced the rainbow image
                                Remember Noah's arch --

                        Remember the sign of the rainbow

   

Genesis 9: 12-15

    And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come:  I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things.

   

God the Father speaks:
                            I sent the rainbow 1996.
                           
Florida has had to deal
                                with many hurricanes
                                and floods.

                            I am God the Father -- you refuse to
                                listen to Mary. …

                           This is My sign sent to you --
                                the sign of the rainbow 

                            You will not listen --

                           peace is found in
                               listening to Mary

 

 

   

Mary's Peace Plan

1.   Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary –– 
until a sufficient number of people make and live the 
consecration, we will not have peace in the world.

2.   Praying the rosary.

3.   Observing the First Saturday Devotion.

4.   Making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

 

 

God the Father speaks:

                        I want the Newsletter
                            sent out.

                        Please help Me.

                         This, Shepherds of Christ, is My Son's 
                            Movement.

                         I am God the Father.
