Father Carter's Talk
February 18, 2000

    Well, what should I say to you. It comes to my heart that I should start off telling you about the Holy Family’s house, the little home they lived in, in Nazareth which is now situated/surrounded by a Basilica Church in Loreto, Italy. And I had the privilege of visiting that shrine. How did their house get there—their little home all the way from Nazareth to Loreto, Italy? There’re different theories on it. One which seems very plausible to me is that during one of the crusades, when the crusaders were in the Holy Land, they had great reason to fear that the home of the Holy Family, the little house would be destroyed by the enemies of Christianity. So they dismantled it and brought it back by ship and then it was reassembled there at Loreto. And there is scientific proof to back this up, for instance they say that the stone out of which the Holy Family home/house was built is that which is used in the Holy Land and it’s not indigenous at all to Italy. So I really do believe that is the house where Jesus and Mary lived at Nazareth. And one of the first things that strikes you about it is how tiny it is—very, very smallone more indication that Our Lord did not need the trappings of this earth, wealth and palatial surroundings and so forth to prove to show His greatness. He was and is great simply because what He is in Himself, who He is. And we get the same lesson, that’s one of the lessons which comes out of His birth at Bethlehem; the kings of this earth come into this world with great palatial showings and all the fanfare which surrounds the life of royalty and yet the King of kings comes in this world in the simplest surroundings. Again He teaches us many lessons from this, one of them certainly is where does true greatness lie. It doesn’t lie in the things which are outside of you, the things which surround you, it lies within your very depths.

    I think all of you here at China give a great witness to life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth and to the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem. Your life is so simple. It is so hidden and yet like the life of Jesus at Nazareth, it is meant to be redemptive. His life certainly was redemptive those first 33 years of His existence. And I think I said in a homily to you some months ago, that if we had it to plan we certainly would have arranged, I’m sure all of us, Jesus’ life here on earth differently. I don’t think in the depths of our heart if we’re honest with ourselves, if the Father says, “you map out the way you think Jesus, My Son, should live here below in the time allotted,” who of us, who of us would have had Him hidden away for 10/11ths of that mortal life span. We would have given much more time to His public life. And here Jesus under the Father teaches us a great lesson—that we share in His redemptive efforts proportionate to the depth of our love and as that life of love is supported by faith and hope so Jesus takes the most humble places and He takes the most simple living people and He uses those simple places and those simple people to accomplish great things. So glory in your existence here at China, in its hiddenness and ask for the faith to realize more and more the great good you are doing for the Movement and the Church and the world.

    There are so many lives of the saints which are at witness to this hidden life of Jesus. And the one that usually comes first to my mind is that of St. Therese of Lisieux, who lived that very, very very hidden life in the cloistered convent at Lisieux and only for nine short years. She entered, as I’m sure you know it, with special dispensation from the pope. She entered at 15 and died at 24. And the good she accomplished in those nine years at Carmel, that was already achieved before she was canonized and people came to know about her great life of holiness. But during those nine short years at Carmel she was doing so so so much to help in the salvation of souls. And her life was so ordinary, so much so in its external framework, so much so that I think it’s, if I remember correctly, her sisters—the nuns with whom she lived with in the Carmelite convent there were surprised when the her cause for beatification was introduced. And why was her life so great—because she did the simplest things, everything with the great depth of faith and hope and love, those gifts which the Holy Spirit showered her with in tremendous depth.

    And so your life here at China is in such great imitation of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth and such great saints as St. Therese of Lisieux, those saints who lived such a hidden existence. And so first of all I thank you for persevering in this life. I think I have some more than ordinary insight into the greatness you are contributing towards the Movement and the Church and the world. So I thank you very profusely and I also highly encourage you to persevere in this life and to pray for the grace to get a deepened insight into just how great your life is here at China for the cause of Christ.

    God’s ways are not our ways nor His thoughts are not our thoughts. And so contrary to the way that so much of the world thinks and even many in the Church it puts such great emphasis on those activities which attract public attention and acclaim and so forth. We know that God looks first of all to the depth of love, a love of His will, the depth of loving conformity to His will—this is how He measures the success of a life. The external framework of which that life is lived as it were as secondary, always secondary to the depth of faith, hope and love, a depth of a loving conformity of one’s will to the Father’s will in Christ, through Christ in the Spirit with a prayerful assistance of Mary our Mother. Amen.

    So in summary, thank you for persevering in your life here. Secondly, pray for a deepened insight into the greatness of your life here, what it means for the Church, the Movement and the world. And thirdly, pray for a great sense of joy for the vocation, the calling Jesus has given you, at least at this time of your life, to your life here in China.

Holy Family of Nazareth pray for us.

    Heavenly Father, I ask your most special blessings on your specially chosen ones here as I have just put before them and requesting them, suggesting to them to pray for an increased light of their greatness here and strength to live by that light. So I ask You Heavenly Father abundantly to give them that grace. Give them great sense of peace and joy here despite the trials they have to endure as Your Son showed us suffering, even deep suffering is not contrary to peace in the Lord. Father, let them know how special they are to You. Bless them most abundantly now and all the days of their life. Father, I put this petition before you through your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit with the prayerful assistance of Mary our Mother. Amen.

    May the Blessing of Almighty God, Father Son and Holy Spirit descend upon you and remain forever. Amen.

Jesus speaks:     I call you to holiness.
                            I call you to love, to intimacy with Me your beloved Spouse.

                            China exists that there will be much prayer, adoration and
                                My special spouses (servants, handmaids & apostles) 
                                will live a life of peace as they live the way of life in the
                                Shepherds of Christ, praying hourly prayers, 6:20 prayers 
                                etc. — adoration 12:00 - 3:00 on Friday afternoons.

                            I sweat Blood for your sins, the sins of the world.
                            There is so much sin in the world.
                            I give you My Heart on fire for love of you.
                            There are fires of destruction, there are good fires for warmth
                                and comfort, nothing is like the fire coming from My
                                Heart.
                            My Heart is a fire of endless love, My Heart is consumed with
                                love for My precious souls.
                            If you veer from the way of life I have given in My communities,
                                you will suffer. I give you this way of life to help bring
                                down great grace and for your own peace.
                            Do not give into satan to distract you from following the
                                way of life, hourly prayer, 6:20 prayers, daily
                                Mass, one hour of private adoration.
                            Be lovers, act lovingly to those you live with.
                            Great grace can be released from your sacrifices
                                made to not think negatively, habitually. Smile —
                                be cheerful. Do not overlook problems, problems
                                must be faced, but many times habitual bad moods
                                come from negative thoughts you give into.
                            Pray to be more holy. Live the life as My Spouse. Write
                                your daily love letter to Me, focus on being
                                positive and loving to Me, to share intimate
                                love with Me, destroy personal letters where you
                                were so very negative, complaining and talking
                                negatively about others.
                            I want a love union with you. You focus on Me and
                                our love affair. Some do not focus on Me at all
                                they use this special time to complain and dump
                                their ugly thoughts into notebooks.
                                I want letters of love, of thankfulness, of
                                    joy, of hope.
                                Do not blame everyone for your anger inside.
                                    So many letters are letters of anger and then -
                                    end - in a person acting out anger toward
                                    others. This is not the purpose of the
                                    letters of love to Me.
                                If you want to grow in holiness, you must
                                    quit examining your brothers faults
                                    and focus on your imperfections.
                                I am not saying that you cannot talk about
                                    some problems, but if you write hateful
                                    letters or have written them destroy them.

                                Some people hurt their spiritual life by justifying
                                    their sordid deeds in journaling.
                                    Your journaling, writing letters to Me is
                                        to help you operate in strength, depend
                                        on My Might, help you to grow.

                            Mary your Mother is pure. Why would you spend an hour
                                in front of the tabernacle day after day, justifying
                                yourselves and writing hateful things about
                                others. I call you to that hour to be filled by
                                Me, to be refreshed, to receive tremendous
                                grace. Your hour before the tabernacle should
                                be a holy hour to grow interiorly, to meditate
                                on the Mysteries.

                            One person can spend an hour and be mean and
                                ugly inside, hating others, writing about how
                                they are victims and writing hateful things
                                about the victimizer. What good does it
                                do you to feed your anger and to do it before the
                                tabernacle. What a paradox.

                            You write letters to Me as your spouse, you write
                                letters of love, you may discuss problems,
                                but it is to come from a place of humility,
                                searching for the truth.

                            Some people think, however, what they think is truth.
                                When they were children, they may have been
                                in alcoholic families or abusive families
                                and they learned to handle things poorly,
                                unlovingly and with much anger.

                                The truth they think they know inside, may
                                    not be truth at all.

                            You must seek the truth. Always tell the truth even
                                to yourselves. Don't blame others for your bad
                                moods. Look inside, ask yourself, do you feel
                                threatened, do you feel unloved, has someone
                                seemed to try to be over you and you feel
                                a loss of power, do you ignore leaders because
                                you don't want anyone telling you what to do?
                                Do you want control all the time? Do you want My
                                way? Do you want something to fill yourself, are you
                                looking for a person, money, ... to fill you?

                            I love you with such deep love.
                            I want you to come to Me and live this spousal union.
                            I want to be the center of your life.
                            I want you to live so you say  

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; 
yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...    
Galatians 2:19-20

                            Live to love, live to be more perfected, don't ever
                                lie to yourself to be right, admit your
                                failings. Rely on My Might, say you are
                                sorry when you have hurt someone, admit
                                your errors. Try with all your heart to not
                                give into hurts. Don't block My work because
                                you feel hurt. Work for the good of promoting
                                My Kingdom.

                            The devil can have a rope around your legs and you
                                can be crippled and unable to work because you give into him.
                                You give your power away.
                                The devil wants souls for hell. If you are
                                trying to help souls the devil will try to
                                get to you and you can let your hurt
                                feelings and emotions run you and
                                block My work.

                            I beg you to pray for the Movement, to live the way
                                of life and to pray for the priests, the Church
                                and the world. I beg you to be truthful to
                                yourself. Do not give into jealousy and
                                pride.

                            Pray to St. Joseph, Pray to the Virgin Mary ask them to
                                intercede for you to be holy. Where are you going
                                with your bag of anger on your back, does
                                it give you peace, does it make you happy?

                            Tomorrow is All Saints Day — live to be a saint —
                                Let the letters of love you write Me help you to
                                    be a saint, so when you die you will go
                                    right to heaven.
                            Pray to be holy, pray to be a saint, live to love —
                                If you knew you would die tomorrow, what
                            would you do today? Would you try to please your
                                God now? Try to please Me now. Live every day
                                as your last. Someday it will be your last day.

                                Some do not know when it is their last day and they
                                act so hatefully, holding onto money and things
                                hurting others, trying to get ahead and they
                                don't even know they will be gone the next day.

                            Mary, a lady, complained at her husband about putting
                                the lid on the tooth paste. He was killed in a
                                car accident at the ripe old age of 54.

                            When she went into the bathroom Mary saw the lid
                                off the tooth paste. She wished Fred, her husband,
                                was there to leave the lid off the tooth paste.
                                She didn't move it for a long time because it
                                was one of the last things he did before he
                                went to work that day.

                            Jenny cried at her husband, why do you leave that
                                dirty bath tub and your socks are all
                                over, she lived with Harry for 40 years,
                                always complaining what he did, she
                                thought she would straighten him out.
                                He worked hard and collapsed in the
                                chair at night. And took off his socks.
                                She had raised the children and now she
                                didn't even work. She didn't want to do
                                anything for Harry, like pick up after him,
                                but he made the money they lived on.

                            One spring day Harry went to play golf, it was
                                a Saturday. Jenny was filled with jealousy
                                and anger because she herself felt lonely
                                and wanted attention. She screamed at him
                                before he left because she was jealous and
                                lonely. Harry loved golf and it helped him
                                unwind from the week's work.

                            On the way to the golf course a tractor trailor
                                cut him off and he was killed. He was 54.
                                A short life. Now Jenny would have to live the
                                rest of her life without him. His socks were
                                left by the chair from the night before. Jenny
                                was jealous and lonely and Harry worked
                                hard and was living a loving life not ignoring
                                Jenny, but providing for her.

                            When the sun shown on sunny days, Jenny
                                realized she had missed most of the sunny days
                                when Harry was alive. She thought she would
                                fix him, she didn't want to pick up after
                                him he was a grown man. She failed to take
                                the splinter from her own eye and see how
                                hard he worked and she did not bring joy
                                to his life, but constant harassment. Now
                                she would have to live alone, with her
                                angry, selfish ways or get someone else
                                to put up with her awful behavior or
                                change.

                       You can never live the moments of this day
                            again.

                            How did you live them, Jenny couldn't
                                bring back the sunny days when Harry
                                was alive, she couldn't try to make him
                                smile with his favorite apple pie, she couldn't
                                undo her nagging ways with Harry — he was
                                gone forever.

                            What do you hold onto that is hurting others?
                                How do you treat the people you live
                                with?

                                You don't have to do all these wonderful
                                    things for them so after a couple of
                                    weeks of being nice, you go into the
                                    mean position and holler and tell them
                                    all you did for them and they didn't
                                    appreciate it. That is not love, that
                                    is cruelty, doing things for others to get
                                    things for yourself in the end, then
                                    raging when they don't meet your
                                    expectations.

                                    Be loving for the sake of loving them,
                                    not to expect something back later
                                    and scream and holler when you don't
                                    get it.

                                Your life is so short. You have to communicate and
                                    work things out, but lots of times people
                                    that work or live together almost become
                                    daily enemies. I don't want that. You are
                                    brothers and sisters. One of you may die tonight
                                    and then you can't bring back those precious
                                    moments when you were together.

                                Live to love —

                                Real love — deep from within — not "love" given
                                    then complaining later because you didn't
                                    get what you wanted out of it and you say
                                    "I did this for you, this for you, this for you
                                       and you didn't even do this for me . . .
                                       Blah, Blah, Blah, you can almost hear
                                       a baby crying —

                                    but the "hook" — they gave to put in a
                                        "hook" to reel in the booty later,
                                        then they sat on a "pity pot" because
                                        they didn't get what they expected.

                                    THIS IS NOT HOLINESS —

                                    THIS IS NOT LOVE —

                                Doing God's will always is what you
                                    must do

                                Doing God's will — That is the 
                                    answer.

                                I want servants, handmaids and apostles to go
                                    to the Nursing home for at least 30-40 minutes
                                    weekly.

                                I want the Nursing Home program to soar.
                                    Your funds lie in this.
                                    Going to the Nursing Home will help you.
                                    You basically ignore this Ministry —
                                        so little is done after 9 years
                                        of telling you about it and
                                        giving you materials.
