Message to God
Messenger:
I have opened myself to share
Your
secrets You have imparted to me.
I have seen my own
imperfections
and the imperfections of others,
but
when You called Lord I held not
back
in this act of giving myself to
Your
holy service.
And I see Your bare body on the
cross
hanging, selflessly — Your love
outpoured
to Your beloved creatures — Loving
me
so much You took on flesh and
died
for me.
Oh God — I know love is giving and
I
see your bare body — I see
myself
opening up, making myself
vulnerable,
but it is Your desire that You
use
me to tell these secrets of
Your
precious Sacred Heart.
One day is a long time in
service
of the Lord, one moment when
God
imparts to us lights — gives to
us
His knowledge and understanding.
And I know the presence of
God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling
within
me. I know as God imparts to
me
special grace to experience His
love.
I know the Father and I cry deeply
to
give more of myself and serve Him — to
see
in this battle for souls the deep
and
burning love God has for us,
for
all souls and to cry from the depth
of
my being of this great gift of
God's
love.
I can wash a window and oh
the
beauty of the sunset, the
precious
rain as it beads on the
window,
the fall leaves, a precious
lake
reflecting the gold hues and blue,
blue
sky of an autumn day.
Dear God you are as You are and
if
I am chastised for speaking the
truth
about our existence and the
gift
of knowing You and Your gifts for
us
I will forever give myself to
Thee
to love and serve You as You desire.
Vulnerability — what does that
mean
to speak the truth — when it is
God's
will we do so — are we shy to
speak
of the gifts of God's precious love —
Himself given to us in the Eucharist —
Does a cat have our tongue,
when
it is God's will we bubble
with
the joy of the Savior, the
thirsting
for deeper life in Him — to
be
saturated with His grace —
alive
in us.
Oh precious Savior — Forgive us
for not being thankful — for judging
rather than action to spread Your
kingdom, for sitting back when You
give us Your grace to speak and we think
more of men's ways than the spreading
of Your kingdom.
Oh precious God, I do indeed love
You so that words do not exist to say
what in my heart I know.
October 12, 2006 message continues
Messenger:
Vulnerability —
He hung bare bodied on the cross.
He came bare into the world, a little
vulnerable baby —
Am I so afraid of being unaccepted I
hide myself when I should
burst with joy for the Song of
the Savior and take action to
spread His Kingdom,
I am but a (man (woman) a
human weaken person, but in
Him I am strengthened with
courage and might.
Alleluia.
Oh God let us praise You from
the holiest in the heights.
Let Your countenance shine
on us as we learn truly
what love really is.
Love is kind, but firm.
Love is giving.
Love is helping others to know You.
Love is not hiding when God
bids us to speak —
Love is helping to build Your Kingdom
on earth.
Love is carrying the cross as You
did and being one with You
in the Mass.
Love is giving myself as You desire
me to be a light in the
darkness.
Oh Jesus You were laid bare in
a manger —
You loved us so You came
on bare wood —
You carried the bare wood they
hung You on —
Oh God of poverty and light —
when I am empty —
I am filled more with Your
light.
Empty myself of selfishness
to be as You desire me
to be
Your Light shining as a
beacon light —
on fire for love of Thee.
What is humility —
It is using Your talents to
do God's work as He desires —
We shout for many foolish
things —
Let us shout for the Lord.
In my emptiness and vulnerability —
men rejected me, but to
Him I did the work He sent me
here to do —
One precious soul —
One soul for all eternity in
heaven —
How can we measure this
worth.
One priest can help so many souls —
So many fed at the table of
the Lord in our churches.
Streams of living water
flowing from the Church.
Jesus asked Fr. Carter to begin
these prayer chapters
praying for the priests, the
Church and the world.
Given to Father Carter
on the Feast of St. Ignatius

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

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."

Help us pray the prayers —
The priestly Newsletter can help
the Fatima message to be
lived.
October 13, 2006 Writing/Message from Mary
10
Year Anniversary
There are many countries which do
not predominantly take Jesus as
their
Savior or recognize Jesus as a
Divine
Person.
We in the Shepherds of Christ are to
pray deeply for the priests, the
Church
and the world.
In spreading the consecration to the
two Hearts as Mary really told us
to
do at Fatima we can help to bring
peace and holiness to the world.
We are the poor banished children
of Eve, tainted by original sin,
by
dwelling deeply in the Hearts of
Jesus
and Mary we can live more purely
in
Their Pure and holy, Sinless
hearts.
If I dwell in Their Hearts and
you dwell in Their Hearts we can
be
more deeply united as one.
As members of the body of Christ
we are one. Uniting all of our
activities
daily in the morning offering to
the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and
being
deeply consecrated to the pure
and holy
Hearts of Jesus and Mary we can
help bring
down great grace on this world.
As the people give themselves in
consecration to the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary
the world will be more and more a
city of
light, living in one mind and one
heart according to God's will in
love.
There will be this great era of
love of the Two Hearts, the era
of
peace Mary promised at Fatima —
(at least for a short time)
it is essential we pray as a body
united for this.
Christians in the Americas especially
should unite in holy love praying
for
the whole world to know Jesus.
We pray for the 75% or so in the world who
do not believe Jesus is Divine
and
that He is their Savior.
On this 89th anniversary of Fatima,
I thank God for the gift to
spread the
Priestly Newsletter to 190
countries
and 75,000 priests every other
month
centered in spreading this
knowledge of this tremendous
love God and Mary our Mother have
for us.
I thank God for the words of the
Good
Shepherd in His Scriptures, the
writings of our beloved popes,
the
bishops, Cardinals, the Wisdom
of the Saints and the gift of
the October 13, 2006 Newsletter.
God has sent to us the gifts of
this present Newsletter to be in
circulation on this October 13,
2006 —
on this 89th anniversary of
Fatima.
In the rocky roads we travel — we
have been given our beloved
priests,
the Church born through the
pierced
Heart of Jesus in which the
fountain
of His life flows.
We see the scene the crucifix —
Jesus hanging on bare wood in the
garden —
the New Adam, Mary, the New Eve,
below — such tremendous love of
these 2 Hearts and God outpouring
His grace through the pierced
Heart
of Jesus.
The Age of the Two Hearts — The
awareness of the tremendous love
of
God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of
my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw
Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to
watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little
children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of
my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this
light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the
cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young
ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make
you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I
beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do
not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The
message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear,
and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my
Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for
them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I
cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I
ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.
Messenger: Oh Eternal God
— help us to do this mission —
Oh Eternal God on this anniversary
I cry with all my heart for
all who hear my prayer to
listen to the words of the
Good Shepherd —
Do not give into the weaknesses from
original sin to write our own
script, but to live as God
intends us.
The mystical marriage is to be
embraced by the love of God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit —
No matter how we see it —
no person can ever mean more
to us than the Divine God —
In religious communities we must
focus on these promises
poverty,
chastity,
obedience —
God wiped out the whole human race
with the flood at the time of Noah —
but those on the ark.
With that came the reform through
Noah's descendants —
Mary came to me to tell me of the
children of light — coming forth
through the working of the Holy Spirit.
Here is a message from Tell My People
that Jesus gave to Fr. Carter.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to
the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people
must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit
desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who
are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He
performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells
in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The
Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts,
then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own
Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all
this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous
gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to
receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless
My people!"
Mary says:
Do not
be afraid to tell them of
the love of my Immaculate
Heart.
I will take them to my Heart and
there they will know the love
of My Son Jesus.
He will take them deeply to the
bosom of the Father in the
Holy Spirit.
There will be this era of love as
I promised at Fatima.
Fear not for you must think of
the souls.
Hell is forever and many are
going there like rain —
Oh my sweet children, how can
I make you understand I
speak to you and I have
appeared in Clearwater for
all the world to see.

this 89th anniversary of Fatima

so very much.
Here is a message given to Fr. Carter
October 13, 1994 —
12 years ago
October 13, 1994
The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ
"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."
Mary speaks: I am
Mary your Mother —
Help to bring to completion
the mission I began at
Fatima through my Son's
Movement:
Shepherds of Christ.
Excerpt from The
Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter
Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart
of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus
wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask
them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord
has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)

10 years Ago Today
Live Rosary
October 13, 1996
transcribed from a tape
Tom's Farm
Fr. Carter led the rosary
450 people attended
Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary
October 13, 1996
THE GLORIOUS MYSTERIES
The Resurrection
- Jesus has told us how He is the vine and we are the
branches. We must stay rooted in Him so that His life flows through us.
We cannot become disconnected from the vine. We are one, joined with
Him.
- Hail Mary...
- Jesus speaks:
I am calling you, My special apostles, to this farm on this day of
October 13th, 1996. I will fill your hearts with the fire of My love,
and the fire of this love will spread across the earth and many hearts
will know My love and be touched through you. Open wide your heart
during this rosary that I may speak to you and tell you of My burning
love for you. I am giving to you an abundant sharing in My life. Open
your heart. I am knocking at the door of your heart. You must not close
your heart. Open wide that I can come in and fill you with My divine
love.
- Oh, My beloved Jesus, I see You glistening and covered
in white. I know that You rose on the third day and that there is such
glory in the resurrection. My life is a constant death and resurrection
as I live in You.
- Focus on the body of a man hanging on the cross. You
see this vividly before your eyes-a man covered with blood, His head
crowned with thorns. He is beaten and withered. This is the Almighty
God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came and gave Himself for love of
us. Focus on this picture in your mind. Make it so clear as if you were
there, as if you are seeing this with your eyes, at this moment, this
man on the cross, with flesh covered with blood. Jesus died. He was
locked in a tomb for three days. Now see next to this picture of this
man the glorified body of Jesus, His glorified wounds, as He comes forth
from the tomb. The Almighty God, our beloved and loving Jesus-He is
alive, He is with us this day. He lives in us in a special way. When we
are baptized and in the state of grace, God is alive within us and He
shares with us His divine life. We are Christ to one another for He is
alive in us.
When I talk to you, I am seeing the Jesus that is alive inside of you.
We are all gathered as one body. We see Jesus. We see Him dead on the
cross. This is how much that He loved us. Do we not know that He died
for us because of this great love, that He wants us to be one body? I
see the vine and the branches and I see how they are so connected that
the life and the fluid runs through the vine to the branches-it's all
one. We are one in Him. He has given us a sharing in His divine life.
Look at us, how separate we are with each other, how we hold ourselves
at arm's length and separate ourselves from one another. We are called
in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be one flock with one shepherd.
The Almighty God is alive and He lives in us. I went to Mass and
Communion this morning and I received the Body of Christ; you receive
the Body of Christ. He gives to us His life. He gives to us Himself. We
must strive in this Movement to be one, to live this consecration in our
lives that we are one with each other, that we put aside all of the
tauntings by the devil to divide us, that we realize that division is
from Satan. As we march across this United States and this world, we
will carry the fire of His love, alive inside of us, for He is alive and
He lives within our hearts. We are called to this special mission as His
apostles to carry this message, this message of His love to the world.
Oh, Jesus, how tenderly I love you. You are alive in my very being. You
are all that I live for and I want to carry this message out to the
world for you have delivered this message with such love. You are so
good. Fill our hearts with the fire of Your love and give us Your
abundant grace that we will have the courage to carry this message to
the ends of the earth. And there was darkness. I see the darkness in the
night, but the light steals across the sky and the fire of His love
spreads across this earth as His life lives in us and many are touched
by the fire of His love.
Song: Spirit Song
- We are not like the world, we see this world and it is
Godless. In many cases the world has turned away from God. It is at
Fatima that Mary said that we must stop offending God. She has given to
us the peace plan that we will have peace on this earth-it is in
consecrating our hearts. She said until a sufficient number have
consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not
have peace in the world. She said we must pray the rosary, that we must
observe the First Saturday devotion, that we must make reparation to
Their Hearts. Why-why do we not do what Mary is asking us to do. It is
so simple?
- Mary appeared at Fatima in July, 1917 and she told the
children, "You have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go.
To save them God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my
Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved
and there will be peace. The war (World War I then raging) is going to
end, but if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will
begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by
an unknown light (January 2, 1938) know that this is a great sign that
God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes
by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and the Holy
Father."1
Mary has appeared to me, almost every day from July the 5th of 1994
until September the 5th of 1995-14 months-this same cry that came from
our Heavenly Mother at Fatima, that we must quit offending God, that we
must do what she is telling us to do. This is the peace plan. He is
alive and He lives in us. We are being asked to go into the world and to
spread His love to the far corners of the earth.
- He gives to us His life in the Eucharist. Who are we
that the Almighty God gives to us, human persons, a sharing in His
Divine Life. He is treated with such indifference and such neglect. If
we knew, if we could see, the glories of the Almighty God, but we are so
blind in our sight. We do not see and we do not hear. We must pray for
the grace that we will see, that we will be the apostles that He is
calling to carry this message out to the world.
- He rose from the dead and He appeared to the apostles.
We see Thomas-he did not believe. How are we this day? Do we believe?
The Almighty God is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the
Holy Eucharist and He is outpouring His grace, His life to us. Do we
believe? Do we believe that He is truly present and that He is giving
Himself to us this day? He is here! He is truly present in the Eucharist
and He is alive in our hearts!
- He laments and laments how He is treated as a dead
object. He is ignored in the Tabernacle.
The Almighty God is here. We spend all this money and go to concerts, go
to football games, all this time in recreation and the Almighty God is
ignored. Mary appeared in 1917 and said that we must stop offending God.
Look at our world. He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement
and is giving to us abundant grace that we will grow more and more in
our relationship with Him and we will be His leaders going into this
world carrying the fire of His love to the far corners of the earth.
He is alive. He says, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and I am with
you this day. Open your eyes and see. Open your hearts and live for I AM
the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Our Lord Ascends Into Heaven
- He took His apostles out to the place of His Ascension
and He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven. Do we see the
glories of these mysteries, that the Almighty God rose from the dead,
that He ascended into heaven? We do not see the glory. We are so focused
on the details in our lives. We see with such limited vision. The
Almighty God is alive and He is here and He is calling us. Each one of
us has been called to this farm, this day, for He knew you would answer
this calling. He knew that in your heart you want the deepest love
affair with Him, that you want to be one with Him. He has called you as
His apostles to carry out His love to the world, to light up the
darkness with His life alive within us.
- We look out and we see the beauty of this day, with the
sun in the sky and the light, and all the colors in the trees. We see
the life in each blade of grass and in each leaf on the tree and tonight
the darkness will cover this earth and although the trees and the leaves
are still there, and this beautiful river, we will not be able to see
with this clarity. The earth this day is covered with darkness for many
souls have cut themselves off from the vine. They are withering and
dying in their hearts. He is calling us and giving us abundant grace
that we will be one in Him, that He will live in us, and as we live on
this earth, He will touch others through us. This is a tremendous
calling from the Almighty God-that we have been chosen and called and
given this grace to be so close to Him.
- Song: A Song From Jesus
- Song: Little Child
- Hail Mary...
- On Ascension Thursday, 1995, I went through such an
experience. First, Jesus took me to the height of heaven and I
experienced such ecstasy. I was at church and later that day when I went
home I was given great anguish and suffering and He called out, "I
am alive, I am alive, I am alive!" and He said that He wanted Fr.
Carter in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to reach the souls on this
earth with the fire of His love. It was in such pain and suffering that
I was buckled over and hearing the Almighty God call out, "I am
alive, I am alive, I am alive". How do we treat Jesus? Do we treat
Him as if He is alive? Do we love Him with all our heart, our whole soul
and our whole being? Do you hear the laments of our beloved Savior, the
Almighty God, who gave Himself and died on the cross? He is alive. He
wants this burning love affair with us. Many of the Masses, many of our
prayers, are said with lack of emotion in our hearts. He wants us to
love Him with the deepest burning love, not to go through the motions.
Every prayer is a love affair with our beloved Savior. The Rosary we
sing-(the Rosary song), and He wants us to say from our heart, the
bottom of our heart, "Jesus, we love You. Mary, we love you. Oh,
the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts. Oh the Rosary,
the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts."
In the September 10th rosary that we circulated to you, Jesus laments
how He does not receive a drop of heartfelt love from many of His
beloved religious that He has chosen and loves so much. This is why He
has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to pray, to pray for
His beloved religious. He loves them so much and He wants, He wants this
burning love from them, His chosen ones. We are gathered here for this
reason-to realize that the Almighty God really is talking to us, that He
has called us, that this is an important mission, that we need to pray
so fervently for our priests and our religious, that this is His
instrument, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to help in the renewal of
the Church and the world.
- Jesus speaks:
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your heart. Open your
heart and let Me come inside of you. I want to touch My beloved souls
this day. Will you say "yes" to this calling? Will you go to
the ends of the earth and spread this movement? Will you pray, pray
fervently for this intention: to lead the religious to the fires of
love, found in My Most Sacred Heart?
- Song: Spirit Song
Jesus speaks:
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your hearts.
Response:
Jesus no longer walks this earth, but He is alive and He lives in us.
- Song: "Come Unto Me All Who Are Weary.."
Jesus speaks:
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I am the Almighty God, all
powerful. You see with such limited vision. You must surrender and let
go and let Me run your life. You are holding on, My beloved ones. You
must realize that I am all powerful, all mighty, and that I am guarding
you and I am with you in a special way this day.
- Jesus speaks:
Carry My light into the darkness.
Response:
And the light came across the dark sky and many were touched with the
fire of His love.
Because you answered this call, the call to be His apostle, to pray for
the priests, to help spread the consecration as Our Lady has asked us at
Fatima. We will not have peace in the world until our hearts are filled
with love, and she says until a sufficient number have consecrated their
hearts to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace. This is
the good news. As the Movement spreads across this earth, as hearts are
consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will have the peace that
Our Lady has promised at Fatima but we must do as she has told us to do.
We must consecrate our hearts and spread this to the world. We must pray
the rosary, observe the First Saturday devotion, and make reparation to
Their Hearts.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit Upon the Apostles
- "When Pentecost day came round, they had all met
together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent
wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there
appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on
the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to
express themselves." (Acts 2: 1-4)2
- Jesus speaks:
I call you, I call you, I call you, My beloved apostles. I call you to
go out to the ends of the earth and to preach My love. I am longing and
thirsting for My beloved souls to come to Me. Bring to Me the souls, the
souls I love. I am Jesus, do you hear this call? Will you bring to Me
the souls of My loved ones? Will you pray for the priests and the
religious, for it is through them that I will feed the hungry souls?
Response:
Look at the priest, see the priest in the Mass, the priest that
consecrates the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. He
gives to us the Body and Blood of Christ. See Jesus in the priest,
giving us His Body. Each one of us go to the communion rail and God
gives to us Himself. We are one in Him. Jesus has told me how we sit in
church, like stiffs, all separate, going through the motions. This is
not love! He wants heartfelt love in our hearts, to realize that the
Almighty God, in the greatest act of love gave Himself as a sacrifice on
the cross and this sacrifice is sacramentally made present in every
Mass. The Mass is a love affair with God. The deepest union with Him is
to give ourselves to Mary, for we are sinners. She is the pure and
sinless one. We give ourselves to Mary and we go to Him in her pure and
sinless heart, to the very depth of His Heart.
He is alive and we are the apostles that must carry this life into the
world in our hearts. He is operating through us. Will we say
"yes"? Do we see the world, do we see the suffering children,
do we see the babies that are murdered in the wombs of their mother, do
we see what the children are being fed on television..but we hold back
our tongues about the love of God? When I began to receive these
messages, for six weeks before, constantly I heard, "Feed the
hungry, feed the hungry!" I prayed and I prayed and I prayed to
know His will. In September of 1991, He called out to me, for six weeks,
constantly, " Feed the hungry!" The world is starving for the
love of God! Let us feed the hungry with this love of God. Let us pray
for the priests for He gives us them.
- We encounter Christ through the sacraments. His life is
outpoured in the Mass. Grace is outpoured in part according to the
disposition of the person offering sacrifice. As we become one in Their
Hearts, as the priest becomes one in Their Hearts, consecrated to the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary, an immense amount of grace is released on the
earth. It is through this that many souls will know God, that many souls
will be saved. We help in the act of redemption. We must spread this
Movement to the far corners of the earth. It is as Mary said: we must
consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is the
key-Mary's heart is the gateway to going to the deepest chamber of the
Heart of Christ.
- We see how Peter denied Christ. We see how the apostles
were afraid. We see Thomas did not believe. We see them stumble and fall
and run away, and then we see them, after the Holy Spirit descended upon
them. They went out into the world and thousands were converted. They
were filled with the fire of God's love. Let us, God, be filled with the
fire of Your love.
Dear Holy Spirit, give us this fearlessness to go into this darkened
world and to carry the light, to carry the messages of Your burning love
to the souls that are starving and are longing to be fed.
- Song: Lady of Fatima
Jesus speaks:
I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in you. Open your heart
that I may touch so many of My beloved souls through you. I am Jesus.
Will you say "yes", My beloved apostles?
- Look into the eyes of the children that are suffering
this day. Mary has sent us on a special mission to spread the rosaries
and the consecration to the children in the schools. Do you see the
children, the children in the schools today that are hard in their
hearts, the children that are suffering, that do not know the love of
God? Mary is giving us special help to spread these rosaries in the
schools. She wants this all over the United States. For nine months Mary
asked me to spread the rosary and the consecration to the children. We
are the apostles that He is sending into the world this day. This is
what Mary and Jesus are asking us to do. It is so little-to spread these
rosaries and consecrations to the schools, but Mary said at Fatima we
will not have peace in the world until we do what she has told us to do.
The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a great part of the completion of
the Fatima message. These rosaries are a big part of the completion of
the Fatima message. We must carry these rosaries to our children in the
schools.
- Satan presses down on us and tries to stop us. The
pressure that has gone on just to have this today is unbelievable, how
Satan can try to stop this. Look at the Fatima message, how it has been
blocked. Why, why, why are not we paying attention to this Fatima
message that Mary gave in 1917? It is the devil that has blocked this
message. This is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message so
we will be met with such resistance. Jesus, Jesus wants us to bring Him
souls. So many souls would be saved through the First Saturday devotion.
Why, why do we not talk about the Fatima message like we should-about
praying the rosary and consecrating our hearts, and the First Saturday
devotion, and making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary? It is
so simple but the devil has blocked this. If we want peace we should do
what Mary has told us for she is the Queen of Peace and the peace of the
world has been entrusted to her. We are the apostles. We are being sent
into the world to carry this message.
- Hail Mary...
- Hail Mary...
- Hail Mary...
The Assumption of Our Lady Into Heaven
- We see Mary taken body and soul into heaven. We live
here, we struggle everyday with so many struggles. We are so focused on
the daily events. We do not realize that soon we too will go to heaven,
if we love and serve the Lord, if we love and serve God. The world has
turned Godless to a large degree. Mary appeared to me every day, except
for a few days, for fourteen months and begged and pleaded that we
spread the love of her Son to this world, that we spread these rosaries
to the world, that we go to the children with the rosaries and the
consecrations. It is so hard to see our heavenly Mother and to know what
she is saying and to not do more. Jesus and Mary have called you here
this day. You have been chosen by them. This is the message that they
wish to deliver to you, that many souls are suffering and going to hell.
Over and over again I heard Our Lady call out, "Please, please the
souls are dropping into hell like rain. You must go out to the world and
spread the love of my Son."
- On October 13th, Mary said, "I am the Lady of the
Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask
pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord anymore for He is
already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the
rosary. Let them continue saying it every day."3 This is
a great gift that God has given to us-rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary. For in the rosary this week Jesus said that the times ahead
will be very dark and unless we discipline our minds by praying the
rosary all through the day, it will be very hard for us when these dark
days come. Mary is our heavenly Mother. She was taken into heaven but
she is very much with us. She has told us what we must do. We must pray
the rosary. She is our heavenly Mother. As a mother that tells a child
what to eat and how to dress, Mary is telling us this: that we must try
to pray l5 decades of the rosary every day for the times ahead will be
dark and we need to have disciplined thoughts. In praying the rosary,
our thoughts become disciplined. We are meditating on the lives of Jesus
and Mary.
- Hail Mary...
- I saw a documentary on Fatima and in this documentary,
Mary appeared to the three children and then they showed the events of
World War II. The bodies were being thrown on a heap. And it just about
tore my insides apart because I identified so much with watching Mary
appear and then nobody listened or not a lot of people listened and
World War II happened and so many people were killed. John brought a
statue and asked me to read this, "One day during World War II, a
group of soldiers wondered into a small French village which had been
badly bombed. They stood in the village square and looked at the
desolation around them. Nearly everything seemed battered and broken.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers noticed something interesting close by on
the ground. It looked like a statue. There were cracks and chips in it
and several pieces were missing. It was badly damaged. A few of the
soldiers stood it up right. Immediately they knew that it was a statue
of Jesus. The men began to look for the missing parts. They put them
together as best as they could and then they set the statue on a
pedestal that was still standing, but the hands were missing. The men
looked very carefully for the hands, but they were no where to be found.
When the men were about to give up, one of them said he knew exactly
what to do. He made a rough sign and hung it over the arms of the
statue. The sign read, 'I have no hands but yours.'"
- Jesus gave me a message that we are His hands and we
are His Heart beating in this world. We must truly be real lovers,
lovers living in this world loving one another, one with each other. It
is in going to the pure heart of Mary, that we will unite in this deep
love affair with Jesus.
- Jesus speaks:
You are My hands. You are My Heart beating in this world. My beloved
apostles, will you say "yes"? Will you go into the world? Will
you carry my light in the darkness? Will you tell the children who are
suffering how I love them? Will you go to the nursing homes and tell the
elderly how I am longing to be with them, to talk to them, to hear the
words from their lips that they love Me? You are My apostles of love.
Response:
This is the anniversary of the sixth apparition at Fatima. Mary appeared
every day for fourteen months to me and delivered these rosaries. That
is all she kept saying: that we must lead others to the love of her Son,
Jesus. The message is so simple. It is love God and love one another.
All the fanciness and the frills! Why can we not live this message which
is the message of love God and love each other.
- We are so focused on the things of this earth and our
heavenly Mother has appeared so many times and told us what we must
do-she made it so clear at Fatima. Do we think our Blessed Mother will
change, that she will change her peace plan? We must, we must carry this
message into the world. We must do what Jesus and Mary are asking us to
do.
- Hail Mary...
- Hail Mary...
- Hail Mary...
The Coronation of Our Lady
- Mary speaks:
I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. I am asking you this day to carry
these rosaries into this world. It is through the rosary that you will
have peace in your hearts. My little children, you must learn to
discipline your thoughts. You must come to Our Hearts and meditate on
Our lives. Our lives will live in your life as you meditate on the
mysteries of the rosary.
- Mary speaks:
There is a time, a time of struggle. There is a time of joy. There is a
time when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. The time for these
things is near at hand. My little children, I have called you on this
October 13th, 1996. I have called you to go into this world and to carry
the rosary as your weapon against Satan. It is through the rosary and
the scapular that I will save this world. I am Mary, your Mother. I am
Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
- We see the angel appear to Mary and ask her to be the
Mother of God. This is the Father's plan-that Mary would be the Mother
of God, and we see Mary as crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Do we see
the plan of the Father unfold in our lives? That our lives are so
important to help in the salvation of many? That He is truly calling us
to be apostles to carry His love, His light, into the dark world?
- Jesus speaks:
I am with you in a special way, My beloved apostles. I am calling you
this day. This is an urgent call. You must go into the world and carry
My messages of love to the souls that are hungry and suffering and in
pain.
- Think vividly of the moment of death. There is a soul
at this moment on the edge of death. How did they live their life? Think
of the world today. Is the world living according to the way that God
has told us that we must live? He told us that we must love God and love
one another. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. Where
will this soul go? Did the soul love God? Did it matter about his
clothes and his house and all his riches? I heard Mary, Our Mother, call
out time and time and time again about the souls that were going into
hell. It is like the Fatima documentary-she called and people did not
heed what she said and there was World War II. Mary does not appear as
she once appeared and she has ceased giving messages as she once did.
She still gives messages but they are not as many. She says that we are
not listening to the messages that she has given and that she cannot
hold back the hand of her Son any longer.
- This is the good news: if we do what Mary tells us at
Fatima, we will have peace. There will be the reign of the Sacred Heart
and the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in which souls will fervently
love Jesus with the greatest love. Her plan is so simple but Satan has
blocked this plan. Satan has blocked these rosary messages and
meditations. We must pray that we can circulate the messages of Jesus
and Mary to the world that is hungry and in need of help.
- One day soon we will be with God in heaven, forever and
ever.
- Wrapped in the embrace of the Almighty God for all
eternity. Heaven is a place of love for the Almighty God is love. We
will be satisfied. We will know love. We will be at peace.
But, hell is a place where there is no love, there is no community,
there is isolation, there is longing for God for all eternity.
He is alive, He is alive and He is with us this day. You must spread
this message to the ends of the earth.
- Mary speaks:
My little children, I call you children because you are My children,
willful in your ways. I have called to you to pray My rosary and to
spread the rosary to the hurting children in this world. I am asking you
on this special day that you carry the rosary to as many souls as
possible. I will aid you in all efforts to spread the rosaries to the
world. Read these meditations to the elderly in the Nursing Homes, teach
them about the power of the rosary, bring the rosary to the children,
tell them about our lives, about our love for them.
I am Mary, your Mother, I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
- Song: The Rosary
Ending Message:
Jesus speaks:
How tenderly I love you, My beloved ones. I am Jesus. I have called you this
day for this special meeting. I have called you, My apostles. Will you go
into the darkness? Will you spread the message of My love? Will you carry
the rosary into the world? Will you touch the hearts of those that are
hurting and in pain? Will you be My apostles of love? I am calling you to
love God and to love one another, to be one in your hearts, to put aside all
hatred and bitterness within your heart, to not give into the tauntings of
Satan to divide you, to always operate in love, to focus on God. Let your
hearts be filled with love.
Glory be...
"My dear friends, let us
love each other, 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." (1 John 4: 7-8)4
