R. Love God supernaturally –
The Goal of happiness –
Love of God –
Sin makes us unhappy –
Loving ourselves and others supernaturally
Charity is a supernatural gift
from God –
that enables us to love God and
to love others - supernaturally –
This love unites us with God –
Charity is the highest of the virtues –
God gives the grace
We must co-operate with the grace –
We develop good habits –
natural and supernatural –
We must love God – not in an
emotional sense –
but love God with doing
God's will –
Our love of God must be first,
before all others –
We are to be motivated by love
of God, others and ourselves –
The
gifts of the Holy Spirit are
Wisdom,
Understanding, Counsel,
Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
and Fear of the Lord
The fruits of the Holy Spirit are
charity, joy, peace, patience,
benignity (kindness), goodness,
long-suffering, mildness,
faith, modesty, continency,
and chastity
Love of God, self and others –
Love of God – giving to God what is His due –
This love is essential for eternal salvation –
Love of self – care for my own soul
– care for my eternal salvation
– care for my health
Love of neighbor –
Commandments given by God
4. Honor your father and your mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.
justice –
giving to others what is
their due
There are sins of omission as well as sins
of commission.
Hatred is the worst sin against charity.
Our goal is to be more and more in the
image of Christ –
to grow to full Christian maturity
in Christ –
We should learn as children about
obedience to God –
Our bodies develop as a child,
as a teenager, as an adult –
Our spiritual life is to develop
to full Christian maturity
in Christ –
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life –
Children need to learn to follow
Jesus as children, development
in the spiritual life –
So Mary and Jesus gave us these
rosaries – Coloring Books,
Parents and Children Books,
Consecration Cards, Rosary
Aves – Prayers for this stage
of development –
We need to circulate them –
Children should learn to not sin,
to learn about sin and to
uproot the bad things they
do with the guidance of
parents, teachers etc.
Children need to learn to obey, be kind,
not pout, that they are loved,
that they are special, learn to
work – not in competition with
siblings, but in unity with
brothers and sisters as friends,
working out problems, working
and playing with each other –
Parents are to teach children about
love – how to get along, how
to be obedient to authority,
how to pray, how to share,
how to be just, how to
love their siblings – how
to operate as a team with their
family – how to go in the car
and get along, how to pray
the rosary together and go
to Church –
Children learn about family,
love and unity, of trusting
others – of security –
of respect and honor –
of being nurtured by the
parents and loved –
Children learn relationships in
the family of origin that
form life-long ways they
learn to trust, forgive, work things
out, work together.
They learn about God.
They learn about relationships –
what it means to be a woman
in a relationship –
what it means to be a man
in a relationship –
what it means to work as
a team in relationships
with others at home –
Intimate relationships –
feeling about themselves –
talking and communicating
and doing things for others
in love –
Mary: The school rosary program
the family rosary program
the programs of consecration –
the prayers Jesus has given
for youth
the coloring books on the rosary,
the movies on the rosary –
Rosaries for home and schools
ALL ARE IMPORTANT
The images of the Sacred Heart and My Immaculate
Heart are so important in the homes.
The family that prays together
stays together –
The Little People and Elderly and
Songs can help the child and
Grandparents –
Your home needs these aids –
Your children need the Parents and
Children's Rosary Book –
statues, rosaries,
pictures –
Rosary makers
Your family should be a unit
of love in which children
grow learning trust and
obedience, acceptance, security.
Your family teaches children about
relationships, communication,
fairness, working things out
in love, working as a team.
Your family teaches children about
joy so you are happy in
life.
Your family is a child's
best friend –
The programs Jesus and I gave you
are so important to the
Church, family and school.
Mary: Parents should teach children about
relationship that last –
in lasting love
Relationships are to be everlasting –
where one is loving and
continues relationships in
eternity –
Teaching them
Mom didn't die, if she dies, mom
lives in heaven –
Relationships go on in heaven –
Love is not an euphoric feeling –
it is rooted in depth of
intimacy in the heart –
unity – building –
trust – honesty – honor –
respect
Anger in relationships, holding
out is satan's play ground
that destroys trust and unity –
Tricks are games satan wants you to play –
satan wants you to have selfishness –
not being accountable
and responsible for one's actions –
can bring down a house –
Security is necessary for relationships to grow –
Communication is vital –
Having fun while you work on
things – doing work in
love –
Are you friends in the family?
Do you learn about trust
and friendship that counts
in the family –
Children are being taught about
the Father's family of love –
Learning happiness and unity
in the family of origin –
brings this into the
life of a child forever –
They are learning about
love, relationships,
God is first –
loving God, others,
themselves.
Problems can be used to grow in
trust, communication, truth,
relationships and love –
Life on earth is very short,
my children
Look at this
Forever in eternity
Birth Death
REWARD
Mary: Love takes an act of the will –
Your life is so short
Seek the Plan of God the Father –
You are like children – learning
to love and reaching full Christian
maturity –
Life is a journey, my children –
See Jesus who came and lived a
quiet life –
Jesus teaches children in schools
with His program –
Song: The Rosary Song
November 4, 2013
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart
Mary: Children learn in the home –
Children learn that parents
are angry and fighting and
competition.
Children can learn to fight too –
play tricks, be angry –
My dear adults –
your life is a test – God gives
you – to prove you have learned
to love – heaven is a reward!
Heaven is a reward for those who
loved and obeyed the Lord –
R. We can see anger in the home –
but never giving a hug –
never looking into the eyes
in love –
rebellion –
dad is angry –
mom is angry –
children are angry
Mary: And this is what some see
as normal and they try to
re-create this in every house –
my children – God is love –
God is good –
God wants you to know the fire
of His love –
Don't reject God –
Spread these letters of love
from Jesus –
from the pre-Blue Book
to Blue Book 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . .
Jesus gave these letters of love –
I appeared in Clearwater to spread
these messages and rosaries
of love to ALL ages, to
ALL People, to ALL vocations.
God has given you a great gift
to reach full Christian
maturity – no matter what
you went through –
God the Father loves you so much –
He has given the apparition
in Clearwater –
He has allowed this gift on
the Mass and rosary,
homilies –
all of this for the
renewal of the Church and the
world – to learn
to pray, my children –
to learn to pray, my children,
to learn for future generations –
to build an order of Servants and
Handmaids of the Good Shepherd –
God has given these writings to
help renew the Church and the world –
God has given these Centers
for prayer – for buying
the statues with the glass,
the images, the rosaries,
the books –
Listen to me –
I am Mary your Spiritual
Mother –
Listen to me –
I am Mary your Spiritual
Mother –
Listen to me –
I am Mary your Spiritual
Mother –
Jesus gives you His Word –
He teaches you about
His relationship with
God and others.
Jesus teaches you about
your relationship with
God, others and yourself –
You must live in the truth –
You must learn communication
to have relationships
You must love –
The family should be so loving
and bring growth to
other relationships in
the Church –
Love
Power-struggles where
authority is put down
and shown as weak –
when God has designated
just authority –
tears the place apart –
There is no growth
Love is an act of the will –
You choose to love –
You develop loving habits
based on cooperating with
God's grace –
Hatefulness is a sin –
Unloving, hateful ways are
far from God!
Love costs many times –
Love gives –
Love is constant
Relationships take giving
and taking in love –
Relationships are work –
Relationships depend on God's grace –
The Holy Spirit unifies –
The Holy Spirit sends the fire of God's love
to those pleading for this
grace –
The Holy Spirit gives you Wisdom
The Holy Spirit gives you the gift of
counsel for the uncertainties
in your life!

Baptism of the Lord
1. Jesus is the New Adam.
2. God can give us very special
grace from meditating on these
Mysteries of Light.3. There are three Persons in one God.
4. Study the picture at the beginning
of these meditations.5. We see Jesus, we see a dove
above Jesus, which is telling
us to think about the Holy Spirit.
We know in this mystery, the
voice of the Father was heard
sayingThis is My Beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.6. From meditating on these mysteries
of light, I feel I am getting
special grace to know each
Person of the Trinity more deeply.7. In every moment I live, I have
this deep relationship with the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.8. Since the Holy Father gave us
the direction to meditate on
these mysteries my deep love
for each Person of the
Trinity has increased.9. I know each Person Father,
Son and Holy Spirit so
deeply and love Them so
very much.10. God is with us. He has given
us the Holy Father to guide
us. God works through
those He puts over us.
God wants us to have structure
and to obey those over us who
are living the way God wants
them to live.
Marriage at Cana
1. God has given us the sacrament of marriage.
2. Jesus performed His first miracle
at the marriage at Cana.3. God calls people to different
vocations in life.4. Religious are called to a very
special relationship with Christ
through the vow of celibacy.5. Through their sacrifice, Religious
can help make reparation to God
for the sins of the flesh in the world.6. At the marriage at Cana, Jesus showed
his support for community life.7. At the marriage at Cana, Jesus
shows us that we can ask Mary
our Mother to intercede for us.8. At the marriage feast at Cana Jesus
changed water into wine at Mary's
request.
9. Mary shows her faith, that she believed
Jesus would handle the situation
at her request.10. We pray through the powerful
intercession of Mary our Mother.
Kingdom of God
1. Luke 17: 20-25
Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, he gave them this answer, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation and there will be no one to say, "Look, it is here! Look, it is there!" For look, the kingdom of God is among you.’
He said to the disciples, ‘A time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of man and will not see it. They will say to you, "Look, it is there!" or, "Look, it is here!" Make no move; do not set off in pursuit; for as the lightning flashing from one part of heaven lights up the other, so will be the Son of man when his Day comes. But first he is destined to suffer grievously and be rejected by this generation.
2. One of Fr. Carter's favorite scriptures was
Matthew 7:21
‘It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.
3. Fr. Carter spent His whole life
learning about the spiritual life,
writing about it as a holy priest
of the Church and learning how
to love his brothers more deeply.
This helped us in the Movement
to learn from all his direction
how to love God and one
another more perfectly.4. We are building the Kingdom
of God by how we love God,
love one another and try to
serve God by doing His will.5. In many situations we can settle
something selfishly or settle it
in a way of love to help build
God's kingdom.6. Disobeying God's law is not being loving.
7. Parents need to discipline their
children in love and help build
the Kingdom, by helping them
grow into loving persons.8. We are sinners, we try to do what
God wants, those in authority
do what they do lovingly to
build the Kingdom.9. Jesus obeyed His Father – He
shows us how to be obedient
and He loved those under Him
so much He gave his life for them.10. We must do what we know God
wants of us in a loving way.
It isn't loving to not do God's will.
Transfiguration
1. The bread and wine is changed
into the Body and Blood of
Jesus at Mass.2. God can give us a grace to help
change our hearts.3. God wants us to cooperate with
the special graces He gives us.4. Jesus took Peter, James and John
up the mountain.5. Jesus was transfigured before them.
6. God gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist.
7. We can not imagine how beautiful
our own graced soul is when
we are in the state of grace.8. Jesus wants our souls to be full of light
and radiant with His grace.9. God gives us the gift of baptism.
10. God offers us a special sharing in His life.
The Last Supper
1. Luke 22:19-20
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.
2. God has given the priests the
power to change the bread and
wine into the Body and Blood
of Jesus.3. Our priests today are being
persecuted.4. In parts of the world where priests
are trying to spread Christianity
they are being persecuted.5. We do not know in many places
of the world how very hard it can
be for our priests in some areas
where people don't believe that Jesus
is the Son of God and priests are
persecuted for teaching the truth.6. The Eucharist is such a gift.
7. The devil doesn't want us to know
how powerful the Eucharist is.8. The priests is a gift from God
and the devil wants to do
all he can to stop them.9. The Mass is so important to us.
10. The priest is so important to us.
Jesus gave Fr. Carter this
Movement — Shepherds of Christ
to pray for the priests, the
Church and the world.These are the prayers Jesus
told Fr. Carter to pray
in the Prayer Manual —
July 31, 1994
"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)
