 Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

 

               

October 12, 2019 

                Particularly for those at the Virgin Mary Building
 
                God the Father: I am God the Father.

                Today is the 101st Anniversary of Mary's apparition
                    at Fatima, where the sun appeared to look
                    as if it would crash to the earth.
 

                I have sent My Mother, Our Lady of Clearwater
                    to the building in Clearwater, Florida, this month
                    of October. How have you celebrated this month
                    of Mary in My building in Clearwater?


                This is My will that the message I give in the Shepherds
                    of Christ reach the far corners of this earth from
                    My building in Clearwater.

                Mary: I am Our Lady of Clearwater.
                    The message God the Father gives of His love for His
                    children is given in my building in Clearwater. It
                    is the will of the heavenly Father, who sent my Son
                    Jesus to this earth to pay for your sins, that you
                    live in holiness.

                It is the month of October. It is my month to spread
                    the rosary. Those who are obedient to God,
                    put God first, do not deny their actions and
                    do what God asks for in love.

                I am Mary, your Mother, Our Lady of Clearwater.

Jesus: Giving and knowing how to receive My love and the love of others in gratitude.

Being thankful for the gifts given to you from your heavenly Father.

Full of humility.

Full of thankfulness as His little child.

Your heavenly Father gave the earth a tremendous gift for the continuation of Mary’s message
at Fatima in giving His sign in giving Our Lady of Clearwater to the souls of this earth.

 

 

Jesus: Gratitude. Gratitude.

Love means hearts are soft and supple like My Sacred Heart.

Mary: Our Lady of Clear-Water.

Clear-Water is pure.

My Heart and My Son Jesus’ Heart are Hearts of Love, unity, oneness.

This Movement exists to spread Our Message of the Shepherds of Christ to the far ends of this earth.

Satan is bitterness, chaos, resentment, darkness, anger, rage, division, hatred, isolation.

Jesus is love, unity, All Good, All Powerful.

Fools deny their sins and this is the worst when God put you here to learn,
    to forgive, to be accountable and responsible.
    To be with God in purity in heaven some day.

I am Mary. This is My Building.

This is My Month, October.

Month of the rosary.

I loved the Father's will.

I never disobeyed God.

I am the perfect handmaid of God.

Eve listened to satan.

Eve did her own will.
Willful.





Mary: 66,000,000 people died because they ignored my message of Fatima.

66,000,000 people died.



 

Mary: The sun looked as if it would crash.

This is My gift where I appear to Rita, just a few days ago.

I am the Lady clothed as the Sun,

Our Lady of Clearwater.

Don’t test your heavenly Father.

 

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

October 13, 1917

    On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:

    As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.

    After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.

    Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.

    When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. (2)

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
   

May 13, 1917 

                May 13, 1917, marks the first appearance of Our Lady of Fatima to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. On this occasion, she said to the visionaries:

    "Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.

    "I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want

    "Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?

    "Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." (8)

  

June 13, 1917

On June 13, the Blessed Virgin again appeared to the three children:

There were about 70 people present, though only the children could see the apparition. She told the youngsters that many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them. She said Francisco and Jacinta would soon leave the world for Heaven. Holding out her heart, surrounded by thorns which pierced it from all sides, Our Lady told Lucy: “God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne.” 10

   

July 13, 1917 

In her July apparition, Our Lady further revealed her plan to the children and to the world:

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "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 the 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. (12)

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)

  

August 19, 1917  

Because of the excitement caused by the apparitions, the civil authorities were so alarmed that they kidnapped the three young visionaries and put them in jail. The incarceration period included the day of August 13. Consequently, Our Lady did not appear to the children on this particular 13th.

The authorities, fearing reaction on the part of the people, quickly released the children. Mary appeared to them on August 19 near Valinhos:

She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. 15

 

September 13, 1917 

Next came the September appearance of Our Lady:

    More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.(16)

  

October 13, 1917

The October 13 vision was accompanied by the great Miracle of the Sun described in the previous chapter. In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:

    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 any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)

    While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:

    As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. (18)

    Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:

    More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.

    Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.

    Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.

    Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.

    I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.

    If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.

    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)

This last message offers us an excellent opportunity to summarize the Fatima message. It tells us “that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

                Excerpt from March 13, 1998 Rosary

Reference John 17: 11-17

R. This is our mission in the Shepherds of Christ - to live in the truth. This is why Our Lord is so strong in what we do. We have a special mission from God to help to renew the Church and the world. It is a mission given to us as lay apostles. You can be an associate. You do not have to be a lay apostle. But it is to the lay apostles that He will speak so frequently in these rosaries. And it is this issue that I address. Why the seriousness? Why the harshness? Why? What we are given the mission to help to renew the Church and the world in truth. He wants us using this material. For He is teaching us about our mission. The Franciscans follow the Franciscan format. There are directions. They do not go to the Jesuits and the Poor Clares and all the other religious organizations.

    This is a most directed mission given by Our Lord to help to bring the world into one fold. He is the Good Shepherd giving His word to lead the flocks into oneness. Our mission is oneness. It is oneness to which I speak. It is oneness to which I know from the experiences He has given to me in the Mass. January the 20th and the 21st of 1996, from that point on, it is great suffering to have division in our presence. You feel this. You have grown more one and one in Him in this consecration. We consecrate our hearts all through the day. We go more and more into this oneness. And when there is division it is tremendous suffering to be there, for our hearts are in Him and He wants oneness. Our whole goal is to be one with the Trinity. Our goal is eternal happiness in heaven! It is oneness that we seek. We are going more and more into His Heart. We know oneness in Him. Division bothers us tremendously. Our families are divided. Our workplaces are divided. Our Churches are divided. Our world is divided. And so we live in our little cocoon, the Shepherds of Christ. But we must love those that we are divided with, for God loves all. And it is in this love of all, despite the division, that we will have the fullness of life in Him.

    I cannot go to the tabernacle and sit there all day by myself and say this is it, maybe, maybe a hermit, maybe a monastic life, one that prays all day for the world. But we, as shepherds, are being told to deal with these people. He has instructed us for one hour of adoration daily. If you are a shepherd apostle, you cannot do it unless you have that grace. For the devil wants to pick us off. But it is our focus to bring the light into the darkness, to bring the world into one fold in the consecration. Mary appears on the building in Florida to lead the children to the light through the consecration. This is the completion of the Fatima mission. It is a major part of that completion. Our Lord has gifted us with the greatest gifts. I am not trying to discourage Eucharistic adoration. We need to have, Our Lord has told me, a set up here in China where more people are coming and adoring Our Lord. We need these hours of adoration before the tabernacle. Our strength is in the grace. We can be as blind as a bat, a blind man, whatever it is, totally blind, and He gives His grace and the heavens open up. We are running around and bumping our heads. We have to obey the messages. It is not up to us. It is up to us to follow the plan given to us from Jesus. He is revealing the plan of the Father. This is His word that He speaks. He said to me, “Feed the hungry. Feed the hungry. Feed the hungry. Feed the hungry.”

 
 

                From the Blue Rosary Book
 

December 19, 1998

The Sorrowful Mysteries According to Mary

Mary:  My dear children, please pray the rosary. Pray for grace to feel the emotion, the love of Our two Hearts.

The Agony in the Garden

Prayer: I ask for grace to experience emotion and to know the love of Their two Hearts.

  1. Mary:  My children, my Son sweat Blood for you in the garden.

  2. My children, the Apostles slept, when He woke them they did not hear Him.

  3. My children, can you not spend time with my Son today in this special time before Christmas?

  4. My children, Christmas is His birthday.

  5. My children, do you have a gift for your God and your King?

  6. My children, He knelt there in the garden, knowing all the precious souls that would be lost forever and He sweat Blood.

  7. My children, Jesus gave Himself for love of you, for love of your souls.

  8. My children, do you love your own souls? You are here, on a journey, this place is not your end.

  9. My children, My mothers and fathers, it is your responsibility to teach your children about God.

  10. My children, He came to bring peace. My children, peace is found in giving your hearts in consecration to Our two Hearts. My children, recite often to one another "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."

Scourging at the Pillar

  1. Mary: My children, my Son was tied to the pillar.

  2. My children, He was held bound.

  3. My children, He is the Light of the World.

  4. My children, He was beaten.

  5. My children, they beat the Son of God.

  6. My children, He could have stopped them.

  7. My children, He endured it for you.

  8. My children, He loves each precious soul, He allowed Himself to be beaten.

  9. My children, His Blood ran to the floor, His Body was marred, His Heart torn with anguish for the souls that would reject Him, including ones that will be lost to the fires of hell today.

  10. My children, will you not pray with me this special novena for your world, for peace, for the Church, will you not pray as I ask you?

The Crowning with Thorns

  1. Mary: My children, I love you and my Son loves you so much.

  2. My children, they mocked my Son, they spit on Him.

  3. My children, they clothed Him in a dirty garment of purple.

  4. My children, they watched Him with eyes of hatred and envy, they spit on Him and mocked Him.

  5. My children, they tore my Heart, the men that abused Him. They abused the precious skin of my beloved Son. My Son, my Baby, my Child. They abused the Son of God. My children, they abuse Him today. He is with you in the Eucharist, you abuse the King, the Son of God.

  6. My children, think of the Heart of perfect divine love.

  7. My children, consumed with love for you, He withstood the torture.

  8. My children, I am Mary your Mother. It is not too late. I plead with you, turn your hearts to God. My children, He loves you.

  9. My children, I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried.

  10. My children, I cried tears of sorrow and of joy for the ones that would be lost and the ones that would be saved. (Luke 2:34-35) "Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed--and a sword will pierce your soul too--so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’ "

The Carrying of the Cross

  1. Mary: My children, He carried the heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world.

  2. My children, my Son bore your sins on His back.

  3. My children, I looked into His eyes and they spoke to me. They were eyes of love. He seemed to say "I would do anything for My precious souls."

  4. My children, each of you is that special soul He carried His cross for.

  5. My children, He knew you each by name.

  6. My children, His thoughts were for you. His sacrifice was for you. My children, will you not take the Child Jesus into your heart this Christmas? I am your Mother, you must turn your lives to Him. There is not another way. No other way will lead you to joy, to happiness, to peace.

  7. My children, I walked beside Him, He could barely manage the heavy cross. I ask you to see the cross in Florida and envision a man carrying this heavy cross on His back. The cross was so heavy, laden with the sins of the world.

  8. My children, see my Son hanging on the cross in Florida. I appear to lead you to my beloved Son, that you will know His love.

  9. My children, stand beneath the cross with me and shed tears of sorrow and joy. Come to my pure Heart. I will place you deeply in His Heart.

  10. My children, He is Jesus, my children, the Light of the World.

The Crucifixion

  1. Mary: My children, God the Father gives you the Mass today as the Sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.

  2. My children, come to my pure Heart and the Heart of my Son. Unite at every moment to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around the world. Plead through my Immaculate Heart for grace and mercy for your world.

  3. My children, I wish you to look at the pictures.

Cross in China, Indiana
  

Painting of Lucia's Vision

  1. My children, Florida is my garden to help bring forth great fruit on the earth. Jesus my Son hangs there in the garden, the New Adam. I appear, the New Eve, the Lady Clothed with the Sun.

  2. My children, I appear to lead you to the love of my Son.

  3. My children, I wish you to listen to the Mary Message tape made on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996.
    Mary: 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.

    Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

My children, please read the message slowly beneath the crucifix.

  1. My children, please feel my emotion in your hearts. Pray for grace to feel the emotion and love of Our two Hearts when you read the message.

  2. My children, I wish you to read John 19: 25-27. "Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home."

  3. My children, I wish you to pray for grace that the priestly newsletter, Mother at Our Side, issue 5, 1998, will reach the priests of this earth.
    Pray: "Oh my God, please grant the grace that the priestly newsletter 5, will reach the priests of the earth and they will respond to it. I pray further that the tape or disk will be used by priests and people in private and public gatherings."

  4. My children, pray likewise for newsletter, issue 4, 1998. My children, pray that the people of the earth and the churches pray the prayers my Son gives them and the rosary. (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual)
    Say: I pray that priests and people use the newsletter 4, that they use the tape and disk and that grace is granted to draw them ever closer to the Heart of Jesus. Please, Lord, help us to spread this newsletter to the ends of the earth. My God, please help the people of the earth to pray the prayers of the Good Shepherd and the rosary.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B —  The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ–." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
