                God gives to us the crucifix —

    

 

  
                God shows us that Pascal mystery of
                    death/resurrection.

                I cry out for the souls Mary and Jesus told me
                    were dropping into hell like rain.

                Where I know Mary's visits daily before
                    Clearwater — Clearwater was to me
                    a sign that I believed others would
                    believe —

    

  

                It was for me a sign like the corner of
                    the old seminary that fell off
                    when I thought —
                    Oh now they will believe

                But as I try to operate with others in
                    delivering this message — I am
                    met with not recognizing the
                    seriousness of this message and
                    that Mary said —

                "The souls Jesus gave His life for are
                    dropping into hell — help me my
                    children — help me to reach them."

                Today satan has led many to ignore the
                    message of Mary at Fatima when
                    she showed the children a picture
                    of hell and delivered this message
                    July 13, 1917 —

       

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

 

July 13, 1917

    "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)

                It was July 31, 1994 — Fr. Carter got this
                    message

     

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)

        

                This is the birth of the Priestly Newsletter
                    Shepherds of Christ — the message Fr. Carter
                    received May 31, 1994 Feast of the Visitation
                    is actually not available, but in
                    July, 1994 the first Priestly Newsletter
                    went out to all the priests in the
                    United States —

                Then the next Newsletter went out September, 1994
                    and continued every other month to
                    United States priests —
                    soon the Priestly Newsletter went to 72,000
                    priests and was translated in Spanish —
                    which we circulated majorly to
                    hierarchy in South America.

                The prayers in the prayer manual were
                    then translated quickly in 6 languages
                    with the Imprimatur and Fr. Carter
                    got this message about the Apostles
                    of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus —

     

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

  1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.

  2. For the Pope.

  3. For all bishops of the world.

  4. For all priests.

  5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.

  6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.

  7. For all members of the Catholic Church.

  8. For all members of the human family.

  9. For all souls in purgatory.

end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message

   

                On December 8, 1996 we consecrated the Morrow
                    Center to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and
                On December 17, 1996 this book left the printer

    

 

                And Mary appeared in Clearwater like this
                    that same day December 17, 1996

     

    

                The Newsletter by this time was going to about
                    72,000 priests around the world.

                Fr. Carter told me June, 1994 there would
                    be these levels of commitment and the
                    Blue Books were as much his as mine.
                    He stood by me as Mary appeared every day
                    beginning July 5, 1994 — he came
                    July 10, 1994 every day for several months
                    at the direction of Jesus and Mary Fr. Carter said.

                    My daughter and my son were there every
                    day with me and Fr. Carter when Mary
                    appeared. My daughter's art is now
                    part of this Newsletter — she was there
                    for all the daily visits — 14 months
                    when Mary appeared.

                    In 1997 we received the China Church,
                St. Anthony's from the Archbishop and
                on August 26, 1997 Fr. Father said his
                first Mass in St. Anthony's — I would
                hear the creeks flowing outside as he
                said Mass — It was from there I received
                the message to ask Felix to do the
                crucifix in Clearwater. Mary's image
                head was destroyed in 2004 — March 1
                and the crucifix — 22' high — body
                of Jesus 9 feet remains —

   

    

                Soon we will have the sorrowful
                    Mother.

     

  

                In 1993, May 13 — My daughter wrote the
                first message in God's Blue Book as
                I dictated it with a pulsating sun
                leaving Conyers.

    

      

                    On April 17, 1994 I did a video at
                the old seminary where the sun pulsated
                above as I spoke.

       

      

                    I call to mind the miracle of the sun
                at the 6th apparition at Fatima — for
                when I got the first Blue Book writing
                my daughter wrote May 13, 1993 — the
                sun pulsated all the way from
                Conyers to Cincinnati as my daughter
                and son drove home with me.

                    On April 17, 1994 this video/DVD
                was the sun pulsating as I talked about
                the Blue Books at the old seminary
                where the corner fell off March 22, 1994
                on Lucia's birthday.

        

 

        

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. 

            October 13, 1917

                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)

                    The old seminary is where Mary
                appeared beginning July 5, 1994
                for 14 months and I received the visions
                of Mary and Jesus and the rosary meditations
                in the Red Rosary Book. Mary told me to
                put a Rainbow on the book and call it
                Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and
                Mary

                It left the publisher December 17, 1996
                with rainbow

                    The same day Mary appeared
                        in Clearwater in Rainbow
                        Color

                    After we acquired the church June, 1997 in China —
                Betty came and prayed there and lived there —
                The Elpers lived there
                China began to be built up to send
                the Priestly Newsletter from —
                We had 3 Centers — until about 2
                years ago Jesus told me to focus
                on China and the Clearwater
                Building.

                    The building in Clearwater is
                a place for prayer, retreats, the
                store and the Jesus and Mary water and
                grottos — Now the Fatima statue
                with glass and Felix's big crucifix
                and Jesus' face.

                    The church in China has about
                10 servants and handmaids and Mary an
                apostle that lives there and
                    24 hour adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
                        in St. Anthony's Chapel

                    Business Center

                    Book Store and Religious Articles

                    Mailing of the Priestly Newsletter
                        all over the world

                    Retreats from the 10th to the 13th
                        monthly

                    Grottos and life size stations —
                        for prayer — not finished

                    We send the Newsletter to 80,000
                priests centered in the Consecration
                and the Eucharist — we send books
                to the 80,000 priests and all hierarchy —
                spreading the devotion to the Sacred
                Heart and Immaculate Heart as Mary asked
                for at Fatima.

                Our Focus is the Priestly Newsletter and Prayer Chapters
                Mary is the Queen of Peace —
                Please help us do this

     

  

 

  

                Holiness is love.
                Holiness is for everybody.
                God calls us to holiness.
                The world is so focused on so
                    much "stuff"

                Prayer goes to the whole world.
                God gives to us the wisdom to see.

 


 

                God Our Father is a Father —
                    within - the Trinity is
                        that everlasting Fatherhood

                We pray to the Father as children
                    to help us reach the whole
                    world with His vision.

                We pray for the Kingdom of God

                We pray for the will of God to be done
                    on earth as it is in heaven.

                The more souls are filled with
                    grace — the more the life
                    of God is present through
                    the souls filled with His grace.

                The more souls go to the Holy Eucharist —
                    the more God outpours His
                    abundant grace and God: Father,
                    Son and Holy Spirit lives in the graced
                    soul.

                As the Shepherds of Christ spreads all over the earth
                    who are dedicated to Eucharist and
                    adoration — holy souls filled with His grace
                    can help bring light to the troubled
                    world.

                    Christmas is the time — Jesus
                gave us the image of Mary and this
                message prior to that

 

  
 

                On December 17, 2007 it will be 11 years
                    since Mary appeared at Clearwater.

                We have 5 grottos in the main room down
                    stairs in the Virgin Mary building —
                    5 for the 5 wounds of Christ
                    5 for the 5 blasphemies against Mary

                We need electric vigil lights for each
                    grotto —

                On December 17, 2007 — we will have the
                    big lighted screen and 5 grottos
                    and some Christmas trees with
                    white lights.

                We will sing some Christmas Songs and
                    pray from this beautiful room with
                    these lights —

                Please plan on coming and praying for
                    the light to shine all over
                    the world —

                For world peace
                To spread the Priestly Newsletter and the
                    books — all over the world

 


 

October 13, 2007

Dear John Weickert,

I am in receipt of the two parcels that you sent me with over a 100 copies of the issues 3 and 4 of 'Shepherds of Christ' along with a prayer Manual. I am very grateful to you for the same and appreciate your kind gesture and generosity. I am giving it out to the diocesan Priests and Pastors who will be gathering from 16-18th of October at ________ for their biennial convention and to my fellow priests in the diocese of __________.

Recently I received a copy of "Medicine of Immortality", by John Pasquini, a beautiful prayer book for meditation before the Eucharist. I shall be happy if you could send me extra copies of the same for distribution among my fellow Priests in the Diocese. I found it very helpful while spending time before the Lord in the chapel for adoration.

I do appreciate your gift and I shall announce to the Priests who will gather for the convention, as I am the President of the diocesan Priests of _________, comprising 15 Dioceses, with about 500 diocesan priests.

May God bless you and all the others with you who are involved in this beautiful ministry of inspiring and motivating fellow priests, who are in a position to enliven the faith of the people if they themselves are filled with the Spirit and love of the Lord.

Looking forward to hearing from you again,

Yours in the ministry of the Shepherds of Christ,

Vicar General

             


 

                    Please come for this day of prayer.

                On November 2 — All Souls Day — I will
                    begin a retreat in the building
                    ending November 5 with the 5th
                    prayer service —

                    Please call Kathleen —   1-888-321-7671

                On November 10 - 13 —I  will do the retreat
                    in China, before the Exposed
                    Eucharist — Mass will be
                    every day except Sunday

                Please call Glaci  —    1-888-211-3041

                We sing and sing songs from the Glory
                    and Praise to God: Father, Son
                    and Holy Spirit

                We do Rosaries from the Blue Book 6
                    Very Powerful

                We pray the Shepherds of Christ Prayers and
                        Holy Spirit Prayers and
                    I talk about the spiritual life —
                    Living in loving oneness —
                    Conquering problems
                    The Eucharist
                    The Rosary
                    and Prayer

                We are praying for the priests —
                Our mission the Priestly Newsletter,
                    the Church and the world.

                The world is dependent on God.
                The world is to grow in deeper union
                    in their relationship with God.

                I believe Mary appeared at Clearwater

                Florida — the Queen of Peace
                              the Queen of Light

                I believe the Shepherds of Christ is helping to
                    spread this light in spreading
                    the Priestly Newsletter to the hierarchy
                    and 80,000 priests

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit.

I unite with our Mother Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart.

I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart.

  

Morning Offering (for Shepherds of Christ Members)

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and Rosary Meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

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."

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."

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

  1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.

  2. For the Pope.

  3. For all bishops of the world.

  4. For all priests.

  5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.

  6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.

  7. For all members of the Catholic Church.

  8. For all members of the human family.

  9. For all souls in purgatory.

Excerpt from Tell My People

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!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

             

        Age of the Two Hearts

Jesus:  "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"

   

Work to Make Your World Better

Jesus: "My beloved companion, remind My people of their responsibility toward the world. They have a duty to try to make this a better world for all to live in.

"Today there is much which is wrong with the world. Sin covers the face of the earth. Sins of all kinds blemish the goodness of My Father's creation.

"However, My Mother and I are increasingly gathering our forces for the battle against Satan and his followers. We are more and more forming Our followers to wage the battle to win back that part of the world dominated by Satan's influence. We are forming our followers in the ways of love. We are forming Our followers with the grace which flows from the bosom of My Father, through My Heart, given in the Holy Spirit, and distributed through the intercession of the maternal and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"We are forming Our followers to give themselves in the greatest love for God and neighbor. We are bringing them ever more closely to Our Hearts so that they may draw from the flames of love of My Heart and Mary's Heart! The more My followers dwell in Mary's Heart and My Heart, the more they are enlightened and strengthened to give themselves for the salvation of the world.

"I am Lord and Master. I ask all to follow Me and My Mother to help us bring forth the great age of love and peace for the world. This age will emerge after the phase of purification has been completed. This age will be characterized by the triumph of Mary's immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. In this great new age, soon to come, My people will love and praise My Father, with Mary and through Me and in the Holy Spirit, as never before!

"I love My people with a tremendous, burning love, and in this love I give them this message!"

Reflection: The world belongs to Christ. St. Paul tells us about this:

As he is the Beginning, he was first to be born from the dead, so that he should be first in every way, because God wanted all perfection to be found in him, and all things to be reconciled through him and for him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, when he made peace by his death on the cross (Colossians 1:18-20).

Since the world belongs to Christ, we, who are His followers, must have a great love for the world as created and redeemed by God. We must labor through our participation in the Mass and through all our other prayers and good works to more and more help the Christic image of the world to shine forth in ever greater splendor. This is our duty and our privilege. Out of love for God and neighbor, let's resolve to get on with the task!

From January 24, 2006 - 6:00am

Messenger:         To be one.

                            The Church is the Body of Christ.

                            The Trinity is the most perfect
                                community
                            3 Persons, one God all
                                perfection and love

                            The priest said if we could be united
                                we, the smallest community
                                could do so much good.
                                Look at the Apostles and the
                                    work they did.

                            Mary, Mother of the Church, spiritual
                                mother was with these Apostles
                                as the Church spread.

                            We are one, holy, Catholic and apostolic
                                the Catholic Church.

                            The Church is the Body of Christ.

                            Operating in greater perfection and
                                oneness as the Spouse of
                                Christ we can have such
                                an impact on the world as
                                Christ operates in His
                                Church bringing peace and
                                love to this world.

                                Because we are the tainted children
                            of Eve we operate with imperfections

7 Capital Sins
    Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth

                                With the pure motive as St. Ignatius
                            talks about with the 3 classes
                            of men, we can do all things
                            as God intends for the honor and
                            glory of God, serving God in
                            love, doing God's will.

                                This is how the community
                            can operate to greater perfection
                            most likened to Christ.

                                The devil is division he wants
                            to tear up communities, marriages
                            etc.

                                Heaven is living in that fullness
                            of life, wrapped in the embrace
                            of God's love, experiencing the
                            beatific vision.

                                If we ponder the community,
                            the Trinity, we can model our
                            communities on such perfect
                            love!!

  

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J. 
pp. 1-2

...God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

    The Christian life, then, is rooted in the great event of the Incarnation. We must, consequently, always focus our gaze upon Christ, realizing that everything the Father wishes to tell us has been summed up in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

  

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J., 
pp. 67-68

The millions and millions of people the world over make up what might be called the world community. The members of this cosmic community are supposed to live in a basic love for one another, united in bonds of mutual support and interdependence. This is true because God has created persons as social beings. We are not intended to cut an isolated path through life. We are meant to walk hand in hand with each other, to live within a societal structure, to help others in many different ways. What is more, we must also realize that, in achieving our destiny, we receive much aid, support, and love from others. There are all too many striking examples of how the modern world has failed to live community—more than enough to make us agonize over man's inhumanity toward his fellow human beings. But there are also many beautiful and ongoing examples of how the world has succeeded in living community—enough to strengthen our belief in the basic goodness of the human heart.

  

January 24, 2006 message continues

Messenger:             What is our gaze in living out the mystery
                            of Christ and living with Jesus, the
                            New Adam and Mary the New Eve as our
                            model.

                                Our Lady of Fatima told us on July 13,
                            1917 we must pray the rosary

                                In meditating on the mysteries of
                            Christ's life and Mary's life their love
                            Jesus, the Divine God and Mary, the
                            most highest human person we see
                            love between God and man (Mary a
                            human person) and model our love
                            relationships on this

                                Mary the spiritual mother, Mother
                            of the Church

                                Our focus in becoming as Christ
                            intends

                            We note Genesis 1: 27

God created man in the image of himself, 
    in the image of God he created him, 
    male and female he created them.   Genesis 1: 27

                            We see the sin of Adam and Eve in the
                                beginning of the Bible because
                                of greed and pride a sin against
                                God and fellow men that follow and we
                                see at the end of the Bible
                                Revelation 21

 

Revelation 21: 1-8

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'

Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'

   

January 24, 2006 message continues

Messenger:         The Church, the world and the individual
                                Christian is in the state of becoming.

                            Christ comes, the redeemer, the Savior
                                of the world, the New Adam

                            As Fr. Carter says in the Spirituality Handbook 

Into such a depraved condition Jesus entered, with a full and generous Heart, to lead the human race from the depths of sinfulness to the vibrant richness of a new life in Himself. Through His enfleshment, this Christ became the focal point of all history. The authentic hopes and dreams of the human family, now so overshadowed by the ugliness of sin, came converging upon this Christ. He would gather them up in Himself, give them a new luster and brilliance and dynamism, and would lead the human family back to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

Christ was radically to release us from the dominion of sin and elevate us to a new level of existence.

Messenger:             The rosary, Mary says at Fatima
                            must be said every day as we

                            Mary's life The New Adam, the
                            New Eve.

                                Christ is God
                                    He is the all perfect God the New Adam
                                Mary, the most highest of God created persons
                                    — the New Eve

                            Meditating on these mysteries
                                we see perfection in their
                                pure ways of loving each other
                                and others

                            We see the love of the Persons
                                of the Trinity as Christ
                                reveals to us the love of the
                                Father in the Spirit.

                                God outpours His insight into the

                                His life here the Divine
                                God Incarnate in the womb

                                5 first Saturday's
                                and 5ths when Mary appeared

   

From the Mass Book  p. 168

1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.46

Messenger:         The consecration Mary talks of at

                                meditation of the mysteries
                                of the rosary

                            Christ the First Fruits

 

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

    In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Message #2 To The Earth —

August 1, 2005

From Jesus 

                            I promise to those priests who pray
                            My prayers for the priests, the Church
                            and the world and for reparation to Our
                            Two Hearts for the offenses against them —

                            I promise great grace to lead you into
                                such a deep union with Me — to know
                                oneness with God as you have never
                                known in your whole priesthood.  
 

                            To My priests I give this promise, the more
                                you pray the prayers I have given —

                                             Red Prayer Manual

                                and the more you pray them yourselves —
                                you will know such grace in
                                your priestly life as never before and
                                touch the hearts of the young and
                                lead them to follow their vocation if
                                called to the priesthood.

                                I promise through the hands of My
                            Apostle priests to help lead holy
                            men to Me in the priesthood and
                            to thereby help to alleviate this
                            terrible atrocity of the shortage
                            of priests.

                            end of 2nd message to earth

        
  

                    Oh my God, it is such a gift that
                you love us as You do and yet so
                few realize how You love us so much.

                    In the world the way it is with
                its steady pace of moving ahead,
                they do not understand how deeply
                God wants to live in us. The
                quiet nights, the peace of day have
                passed to so many in this "rat
                race" of self promotion, dominance
                for dominance sake and moving ahead
                in a world that leads to an end
                many times seeking victory in earthly
                ways.

                    The joy of seeing the world as Mary
                came to tell us at Clearwater and Fatima
                and Lourdes is God is with us and wants
                to be recognized, God wants our love,
                God has blessed us abundantly —
                the attachment of many to the world —
                even in the religious orders has
                saddened Our Lord.

                    When we see God calls us to be
                contemplatives in actions — we see
                we are always in His hands — Can I
                deeply be one in God and still do the
                work He has called me to — can I
                be so deeply attached to Him and
                still suffer with dealing with
                my wounded human nature and others —
                We do not live in a vacuum and God has
                called us to be with others spreading
                His light and yet our souls crave
                to be so close to Jesus.

                    The letters Jesus gave to me in God's
                Blue Book have changed the hearts of
                so very many and led them so deeply
                to the Blessed Sacrament.

                    I was told long ago that maybe Jesus
                is like that with you, but nobody else
                can be like that. When Jesus gave me letter
                after letter, I waited many years
                until Fr. Carter came and said the Blue
                Books were as much his as mine.
                There was always so much jealousy when
                I tried to speak for others did not
                understand at all and yet Fr. Carter came
                and he began the Shepherds of Christ Movement
                and what came forth from my mouth
                before the Mother of God as she appeared —
                A message from Jesus "you will be
                My Apostles of My Sacred Heart and you
                will reach the far ends of the earth"
                I hadn't left my chair and the message
                was constant as Mary appeared every
                day — "You will be My Apostles of My
                Sacred Heart and you will reach
                the far ends of the earth."

                    Oh Jesus, I have tried to do this
                work of Fr. Carter over these 13 years since
                Mary appeared daily — in seeing his writings
                I see the direction of the Movement
                centered in spirituality and it moved
                as a ship despite deep problems some
                times in putting out the Priestly Newsletter and
                we never had the funds — every other
                month — Jesus gave to me the messages
                to lead us deeper into this mystical
                marriage with Him and direct the
                Movement — We sent the Priestly
                Newsletter — we formed the core — we
                set down the rules for this Movement —
                God has called this Movement to help
                to bring to completion what Mary
                began at Fatima and to help renew
                the Church and the world.

                    It may sound very strange, but I
                am shy ever since my mom died at
                five and Jesus knew this — It is with
                directness and His will I do what He
                asks us to do — I do not run like a bull
                in a China shop — it is with His will
                as my guide and I move in this shyness
                to do what He wants.

                    The people of the world in need of
                renewal has resisted the Blue Book
                writings and this deep prayer, but it
                is the call of God for us to go to the
                Holy Eucharist and He gives to those
                He calls much grace from daily
                Holy Communion and adoration to
                be more deeply united to Him and understand
                His Blue Book letters.

                    It is patience in doing God's work
                as God gives us more and more lessons
                in helping us to do His work. The devil
                can have one in opposition to fight
                against us — whatever it is God calls
                us to — to draw us to greater holiness —
                there is always one who rebelliously
                will fight the work we try to do and yet
                in which ever way we are tried — the
                grace is always there to move ahead
                and to write of our life that will
                lead the Church and the world, religious
                orders and families to greater life
                unveiling the insight into the Divine
                Mysteries and the workings of satan in
                our lives. For it is a battle and
                it is the Holy Spirit that counsels
                the soul and brings us light to see
                as God sees through us, looking
                to the world and being an
                instrument of love — despite the
                trials.

                    Christmas, Feasts are so important
                to God and others can do the work saying
                it is for God for little regard of the Feast
                for the devil hates feasts. Like one
                lost in a high tower trapped —
                looking out over the world — we cry for
                the souls that will be lost — we see
                as on a high hill as Christ crying
                over the city and yet our Movement
                is a Movement of hope for God has
                asked Fr. Carter to do this —
                the messages I have received are from
                Our Lady and Our Lord to be drawn ever
                more closer to Him in the Eucharist
                and to do this work for God's might
                is Almighty and we become more
                and more one in Him.

                    Let us go forth — let us see the
                beauty of God — let us let go of the
                inordinate attachments we have —
                to be purely His — to have the confidence
                in Him — to answer the call — not
                for us, but for our Maker and lover and for
                the precious souls He gave His life for.
                We are in His hands always — we
                walk as the saints who struggled
                and yet the whisper of the love of
                God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit are always
                in our soul — directing us being
                mindful of God's special purpose
                in our life —

                    Oh God help us, draw us ever
                closer to You — that we may taste Your
                fruits, know Your love and not ever
                bend even a little in Your pure
                vision for us — to be absorbed in
                Your loving care and not self-centered
                giving into the devil and ways to get
                us focused on details that may lead
                us away from our focus on
                God — what His will is for us —

                    be loving — think of how Jesus
                suffered for those who tried to
                have power over Him —

                    In today's world God has called
                us to tell the world about Jesus.
                Many distractions are seen in all
                walks of life — more and more focus
                on the worldly and God wants
                us to help spread His message
                of the deep love of the Pure and
                Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary —

                    When Mary appeared at Clearwater
                2 and 1/2 years after Fr. Carter had begun
                the Priestly Newsletter, she had already
                appeared to me every day for 14
                months — My soul is so connected to
                Mary and the message she came to
                bring — her love for the Church —
                her love for her beloved priests —
                her love for Jesus — her desire to
                help us pray the rosary and understand
                deeper insight into her life and
                Jesus' life through the wisdom
                of the Holy Spirit.

                    When faced with a mountain I
                will not quit — I will find a way
                IN HIM to climb this mountain
                for His honor and glory.
