Cause & Effect
Messenger:
What we do affects others.
We were not put on this earth
by ourselves.
God wants us to work together in
love.
Some people just have to have their
own way.
Every time they speak their focus is
to win, to be "smart".
Some people don't even realize they
will not give in.
Some may give in to some people and
never give in to others.
Some have to change things when
they are asked to do them
because they have to be
in control.
The bottom line is, what is God's
will for me and how does He
want to use me to promote
His Kingdom.
God gives us structure in the
Church.
God wants us to obey the right
authority.
God teaches us a mighty lesson
in Genesis Chapter 3.
God tells us about Cain and Abel.
Oh it was a silver night, the
moon was plastered against a velvety
sky, the dark blue was very visible
to my eyes. The moon illuminated
the sky in a way I never saw before.
Oh how can we not believe in the
One who creates.
The world is almost on a giant
timer, the sun coming up,
the sun going down,
The timers in each individual
body,
The timers in the tree,
The years a person can
reproduce ——
God governs the universe —
The nights may seem long at
times and yet are they not
exactly as they should be.
Oh a night and a star studded
sky,
Oh the wonders of this vast
universe ———
Oh the awe of the human mind —
A baby almost once silent,
breaks into sentences and
shows such wisdom.

Messenger:
Oh night richly blessed, one
that soon turns into a
light feathery blue sky with
the daintiest shades of
white.
Where is the light you say —
where oh light that seems to
shine behind the darkness as morning
breaks through.
One side of the earth almost
black, the other clothed
in a darkish budding
beauty enhanced by shades
of light.
Where do you come from, for now
I see not the sun nor the
moon, only this lifting of
the darkness as it gives
way to the light and now
the blanket that covers this
earth is one of a lightened
beauty I cannot describe.
There are little pockets of pink
where areas of the sky are so
light,
There are deep pockets of a
blue I cannot describe
and really want to.
There is the golden horizon —
the almost
dark blue night ———
sections of the light lifting
across a dark sky.
Oh sky of glorious wonder —
Who created you and all your
beauty and
every day, every moment you, oh
beautiful sky, are ever changing.
I taste the morning, I smell the freshness
of the new day
I see the beauty my God has created
for me.

God the Father speaks:
I paint the sky for you my beloved
children and

your Mother Mary to gaze upon,

I give you the image of My
Son Jesus —
Oh you are so blind indeed —
Some do not see at all —
If you knew even a little, the gifts
I have prepared for those who love
and serve Me.
Oh you are little ones, children —
I am your Father and many do not
love Me.
Many refuse to recognize My Son
Jesus is Divine
I cry out to you My children —
I send this gift to you —
Mary appears as a messenger
to the earth —
She comes the Lady of the South
She and My Son shine in rainbow
gold for you my beloved
people
Oh my children, I love you so
much, I give you My
Son Jesus, truly present
in the Eucharist.
Why do you hide such a gift
from My people.
Why are you not out there
telling all, that Jesus is here today
on this earth, truly present in
the Eucharist?
Why are you not telling men
Jesus is the Son of God.
You listen to His Name, His
Holy Name be profaned.
You hear the filth on your
televisions and at the
movies ——
and yet — you who know the
truth are so silent —
many crawl in a little
hole and are very quiet
while the ones with big
voices, shout their
obscenities to your little
babies.
Oh my children, I do cry for
you.
Like a lightening that cracks
across a darkened sky ——
only to flash a little light to the
earth below —
you ignore the signs given to you —
you have become as old men that
cannot walk or see and
I give you so many gifts.
October 13, 1917 - 85 years since Fatima
Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Father 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)
NOTE:
17. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly
indebted to
Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford:

God the Father speaks:
Oh my children that you would yearn
to be formed more and more in the
image of My Son Jesus ———
Oh my children that you would go
to the grace-filled womb of
the Virgin Mary, your Mother —
Oh my children, I am your Father
and I cry to you ———
You are the hands of My Son in
this world —
You are the heart that beats
with the burning fire of the love of God —
You are the one I have called and
many smite Me and ignore
the commandments I give.

This is followed by the Chapter on
the Good Shepherd.
Every Newsletter was begun this way
John 10: 11-15
I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays
down his life
for his sheep.
The hired man,
since he is not the
shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he
sees a wolf coming,
and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
and scatters the
sheep;
he runs away
because he is only a hired man
and has no
concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my
own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and
I lay down my life for my sheep.

Little sheep not knowing their way

led them astray
Ezekiel 34: 11-16
“For the Lord Yahweh
says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As
a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so
shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have
been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back
from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries
and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains
of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I
shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be
their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they
will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall
pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh.
I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and
make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a
true shepherd to them."

You are so busy

See one that looks from above —
see the children that play on the surface
of the earth
See the busy freeways —
See the busy cars
—
Sometimes you go down so many
roads that lead you astray —
You travel so quickly only to
come to a bad end —
Oh My children, that you would
see yourselves —
Look down upon your moves —
draw a map and see the
roads you have traveled
that were a dead end —
The roads I want you to travel
are roads that will help
lead you and others
to My Kingdom —
Oh little men you act sometimes
like "wind-up dolls" —
some are so consumed with
hate — looking for a victim
to vent their irritation
inside.

Here is a message He gave on the
first trip of the Apostles to Florida June 26, 1995.
June 26, 1995
The Pain - Naples, Florida
Messenger: He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus,
the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the
good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.
His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and
filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final
blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.
All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the
crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.
All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain
shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious
members.
The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy
cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary -
the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew
patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed
and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and
exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven
into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with
blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the
hammered nail.
A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to
the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.
Jesus: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar
and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh.
What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear
ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your
brothers you love?
My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My
arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain
within them.
To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and
covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up
My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain
to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending
pain signals everywhere.
The final blow being to each hand and foot, the
severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.
An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded
into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.
Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals
sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in
the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.
My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were
stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of
My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of
My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the
nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the
deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human
comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered
the final blow to each member.
The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each
member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running
throughout My entire body.
The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My
loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records
the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded
from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the
pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and
the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a
surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.
You focus on your little problems, your little aches
and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and
sufferings.
Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me
vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They
crowned My head with a crown of thorns.
This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I
gave My life for and this is their return.
A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the
aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final
blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.
You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and
feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain
within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was
nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My
mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men.
All functions in the body were stopped.
The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My
Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.
R: All signals that carried messages of immense pain had
ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and
surrender His flesh.
Jesus: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed
from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into
your spirit.
R: Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with
Thee.
Jesus: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood
offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at
every Mass.
An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow
through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass.
Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the
grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in
the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.
You stand under the cross with My Mother and you
receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.
R: Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine
Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary
is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this
sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the
souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who
now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.
Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest.
Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat
him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.
And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a
message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special
message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father's
will, each carrying a message of love to one another.
The body is many members, you are the messengers of My
love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some
are cut off from the Head.
They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were
severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My
nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ.
My Body given for all on the cross, the network of
nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body
covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.
Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the
slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the
members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the
pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each
and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your
Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of
love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the
wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from
the messages of love that are not being transmitted.
Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with
the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your
Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to
you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make
men's hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are
meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire
for love of God.
You have ignored the importance of these letters.
I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting
world.
My priests and religious need these messages. The love
of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you
circulate these letters.
The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in
these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.
I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these
messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a
mighty medicine for a sick world.
Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the
sick Church.
You know what these messages have done for you. I am
Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick
Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion,
homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex
education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am
giving to the Church and this world.
My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as
the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.
The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the
slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure
and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are
being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.
Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed
from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the
love of God enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.
I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in
the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world.
Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire
love will it stop.
Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The
Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus.
Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages.
I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish
these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am
working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the
world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The
significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying
the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue
Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to
this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I
am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg
you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to
draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send
you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment
of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love
of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

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:
- 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.
- For the Pope.
- For all bishops of the world.
- For all priests.
- For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
- For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement,
and for the spread of this movement to the world.
- For all members of the Catholic Church.
- For all members of the human family.
- For all souls in purgatory.

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!"

with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request
from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their
hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of
Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of
this earth pray these prayers.
My promise is this to you My beloved
earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred
Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest
graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world
and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will
bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's
Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998,
Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know
Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give
you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your
Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the
Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly
Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks
through it.

Mary speaks:
I appear to you, I am
Mary your
Mother please listen to me —
I love you my children.
The dark covers the sky and
then there is light —
Many do not see —
come to my Immaculate Heart —
the Holy Spirit will
form you more and more
in the image of Jesus.
Excerpts from Tell My People by Fr.
Edward J. Carter, S.J.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus speaks: "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!"
Images of the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My
people that I desire them to have pictures or statues of the Sacred Heart
and the Immaculate Heart in their homes. This will greatly help them to give
honor to Our Hearts. All My churches and chapels should also have these
images. I will bestow great blessings on all those who heed My request. I am
your Lord and Master. Please do as I ask."

Jesus speaks:
My people, when
My image is displayed,
people can see My face and be
reminded of Me.
So many have removed My images because
they do not want to see My face and be
reminded of Me.
The more My image as the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and My Mother's Image as
the Immaculate Heart is placed
in homes and honored — the
more you will have peace in your
homes and on the earth.
Listen to Me. Satan has worked to try to
get people to remove My image
from places, he wants to clutter
up your homes with images of people
who do not live serving God.
People on talk shows have a tremendous
influence on people's thoughts, the
television runs constantly with
evil — evil words and so many
violent actions that displease Me.
Does one sinning on the couch want
My image over that couch?
Does one drinking, smoking things
bad for them, want My image before them?
Do people watching television shows with
women being hit or displayed as
sex models want My image or the
image of Mary - Immaculate in the
room?
Yes satan has tried to influence so many to
remove My image.
From My building, Our building of the
Two Hearts in Clearwater Florida
I want you to spread the devotion to
Our Two Hearts with the materials
I have given to you to help bring
about the Reign of My Heart and
Triumph of Mary's Immaculate
Heart.
Every person needs time alone with Me.
I tell you the bloodshed in the Church
will continue until you spread
these messages of My intimate
love.
I gave you this message in Blue Book II from March 7, 1994.
Excerpt from March 7, 1994
Jesus speaks: "Busy
yourself for your day is at hand and you will know My might! I will shake the
earth and you will listen Then you will listen, but where were you when I gave
you forewarning? You are waiting for the big boom. I am calling you now to
listen to Me here....Time is so short. One moment and it is up in
smoke....What do I do to shake you? I, in My might can rock you off your
rockers. I try to prepare you but you are too busy. Hold on to your last piece
of dust and watch it go up in your face! I am Jesus Christ, Son of God and I
write to you and who pays heed here? This should tell you of your
attachments to worldly things. You want proof. You look the other way. I am
God and you contain the mighty medicine for this sick world. I am Jesus,
the Son of God. Do you listen?"

Jesus speaks:
You must pray for your donors.
I appeared and my mother appeared
for the whole world.
The apparition is not appreciated.
The fact you cannot even make
the rent payment for the

So much money in the world and the
state of Florida.
Look at your news on television.
Look at what the news is on the
television.
MARY HAS APPEARED ON THE
BUILDING FOR 5 YEARS AND
YOU DO NOT EVEN TAKE
NOTICE.
It is not the responsibility of 100
people to support such a vision.
It is a gift from God.
This shows you the focus of men
and your news.
Your eyes are blind.
I ask today September 6, 2001 to
see Our images and to help
do what We have asked you to do.
These messages are important.
You have ignored Me.
THE PRAYER CARDS, Prayer for Union
with Jesus, Prayer Before the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, Say daily card,
morning offering, Shepherds of Christ
Prayer manuals, Holy Spirit Novena book,
rosary meditations are gifts from God.
Messenger:
Jesus also said "All materials
used for the school rosary program
printed by B&M have helped the
school children."
Jesus speaks:
The Priestly Newsletter is a gift from God.
Because of these prayers your world
is a better place.
If B&M closes and the printing stops -
your world will be affected.
Again I repeat, these revelations and
materials are for the world.
Mary appears the Lady clothed in gold
for the world.
Very, very few are helping to do what I ask.
My movement is to help the priests, the
Church and the world, it is a gift.
Because of My movement, the world is a
better place.
You will feel the effects if the printing stops.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I speak here.

You do not even see the evil in the

Your children are being taught
violence and bloodshed —
You have watered down My words
and the Commandments.
I cry out to you and you will

85 years since Fatima —
I implore you to do what I have asked
with the store in Florida —
and with the Movement —
Satan wants you to stop circulating
Blue Books and image rosaries —
So many people have not helped when I called them.
Many don't want the extra work. Keep it little, less work!!
When I send people you don't work to get along.
The evil is growing every day.
Satan is hate.
You are not telling your children about
the rosary —
85 years after this miracle of the sun
and you do not listen —
I gave the direction to close the rosary
factory, October, month of the rosary —
Mary has appeared almost 6
years every day and there are
no monies for rosary beads —
no money to write to the Catholic
schools about the rosary program —
IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER —
And it was necessary to close the rosary
factory.
My packages to send sit idle. No money for the
retired Bishop's mailing.
How do the rich celebrate the
Feast of the Holy Rosary October 7?
How are you helping to promote
peace in the world?
Here is the message of Mary October 13, 1917
85 years ago —
Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Father 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)

Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary speaks:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.

Talk given by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.
Founder of Shepherds of Christ Ministries
Talk given February 13, 1997 National Conference of
Shepherds of Christ, held at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood,
Ohio.
Before we begin the rosary, I’d like to
say a few words about the great importance of these days on the 13th of each
month. Before Our Lord asked me to begin the Shepherds of Christ Ministries,
the 1st dimension of that ministries was given to me on May the 31st, 1994.
But before Our Lord asked me to start the ministries, I had been given a great
devotion to Our Lady of Fatima. And I knew that everything concerning recent
Marian apparitions centered around the Fatima message. The Fatima message is
key to the peace of the world, as Our Lady of Fatima has told us. So because I
had been given a great devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, it was no surprise to
me when Our Lord told me, and through me the whole Movement, the great
connection that there would be between Shepherds of Christ Ministries and
helping to bring the Fatima message to conclusion. I’ll expand more upon
that in my talk this afternoon. But here and now I’d like to read just a
part of the message I received on October the 13th, 1994, when Our Lord called
the full Ministries into existence. It had begun May 31st , some five or six
months previous to that. But really October the 13th, 1994, marks the real
birth, the complete birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. And part of the
message I received on that day reads as follows:
"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.
Today then, October the 13th, 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, the Chief
Shepherd of the Flock."
The calling of Our Lord to Shepherds of
Christ to be present if possible at these meetings on the 13th of each month,
and if they cannot be present physically, to be present in spirit with us then
comes as no surprise. It’s merely another unfolding in the history of the
Shepherds of Christ Movement and in the Fatima message.
These 13th of the months meetings are
extremely important. They are great instruments which Our Lord and Our Lady
are using to help bring to completion the Fatima message, which will result in
that great era of peace, which Our Lady of Fatima promised eventually would
come to the world.
So I ask you to take these meetings on the
13th of the month with the utmost seriousness, gratitude, thanksgiving, joy
that Our Lord, for His own reasons has chosen Shepherds of Christ, the members
thereof, the whole Ministries to play such a great part in the completion of
the Fatima message. It comes as no surprise either that Our Lord gives special
messages during the rosary on the meeting of the 13th, just as Our Lady of
Fatima gave messages to the three visionaries at Fatima in 1917, from May
through October. So at this stage of the Fatima message’s unfolding, it is
no surprise that they continue, and in a new way and a new phase of the Fatima
plan, give us these very special messages on the 13th. They are meant not only
for us here present, they are meant for all members of the Movement, and
eventually for the whole world. All these messages, all these rosaries on the
13th, eventually go onto our Internet with its world-wide audience.
So please, be very grateful to God for the
messages He gives us during the rosary. Not everything which Rita says is a
message. I think you’ll be able to distinguish when she’s receiving a
message from Our Lord or from Our Lady, and when she is speaking from her own
heart. Sometimes the transition is very quick and you may miss it, but there
are both ways in which meditations are given on the decades: in strict
locutions or messages, and then from Rita’s meditations or reflections
herself.
(After the Rosary)
I wish to thank everybody who made the
effort to be here with us, especially those people who had to travel from out
of town. I’m sure the Lord has blessed you already and will continue to do
so for your effort to be here. These are extremely important meetings on the
13th of the month. Our Lord has, Himself, instructed us in His great love and
mercy for us and the whole world to have them. From these meetings, the
messages of Our Lord, the previous message given at Fatima, go out to the
whole world...
I sort of left off when I introduced the
rosary by reading the rest, or at least a good part of the rest, of that
message which I, myself, received on October the 13th, 1994, when Our Lord
called the full Shepherds of Christ Ministries into existence.
"My beloved priest-companion, today I
come to you with another mission."
He had already asked me on May the 31st of
1994 to start the priestly newsletter and then shortly after that to start the
prayer chapters.
"I’m 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."
So (this is) one of the most important
messages given in the whole history of our Movement, and I think you can see
why. Not only was Our Lord calling the Ministries into full bloom with this
message, but He was making that great connection between Shepherds of Christ
and the Fatima message.
You see how He says that both the Fatima
message and Shepherds of Christ is centered in devotion, and especially in
consecration, to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
So in my moments here before you this
afternoon, I wish to speak a bit about this consecration.
I’ll start off by reading a message of Our
Lord and from "Tell My People" which deals with this consecration to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
"My beloved friend, tell My people
that I desire all to consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to
Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Tell them not to just recite words in making the
Act of Consecration, but to realize what they are saying. Consecration to
Our Hearts means a total gift of self. That means handing over everything to
Me and My Mother. Consecration means a willingness to surrender completely
to Me. In Baptism, one is consecrated to Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But
how many fail to live out their consecration? I extend to all the invitation
to renew this Baptismal consecration through consecration to My Heart and to
My Mother’s Heart.
"My beloved companion, I have taught
you what this consecration means. I have given you great peace, joy and
happiness because you have made this consecration. I have taught you that
you are to renew this act of consecration each day. I constantly remind you
that you are to pray each day for the grace to more and more live the
consecration. I have taught you that your consecration to Me and My Mother
means that you constantly surrender yourself to Us and to Our care. I have
taught you that the more you surrender yourself to Me, the more I live in
you, and through you and for you. I have taught you that My great love for
you longs to draw you more deeply into My Heart. I have shown you that I
wish your Mother Mary to place you there within My Heart, and that the more
you dwell within her Heart, the more deeply she places you within My Heart.
Dwelling within Our Hearts, the Holy Spirit fashions you more and more in My
likeness. The Father thus looks upon you with greater favor and takes you
more closely to Himself.
"Tell My people all these wondrous
truths. I am Lord and Master and I desire all to listen to My words. (end of
message)"
And what beautiful words those are, which
Christ gives all, to us all regarding the consecration to His Heart and
Mary’s Heart.
I want to - after that message of Jesus
telling us what consecration involves, I wish to single out a few aspects of
the consecration, what it includes. One aspect of our consecration and
especially the consecration which Our Lord has given us for Shepherds of
Christ, one aspect of our consecration to Their Hearts is to realize that we
are apostles and that we are called to go out into the world as we have heard
in the rosary today, and other times to be the apostles of His love, of His
love and His Mother’s love, and thus to help bring about that great era of
peace promised by Our Lord, Our Lady of Fatima in which love will just
dominate. That’s what it means when Our Lady says, "In the end,"
she says, "my Immaculate Heart will triumph." And along with that
triumph of her Immaculate Heart will occur the Reign of the Sacred Heart. The
Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart simply is a
reign of love, a triumph of love and in that era there will be a type of love
existent in the hearts of the members of the human family never known before.
We will all be so united in love to the Father and the Holy Spirit through the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And not only with Them, but with each other. What a
glorious era we have to look forward to.
We are apostles. More and more as the
Movement has gone on, Jesus is letting us know that, yes, we are supposed to
pray. This is one of our primary duties in the chapters and elsewhere, to pray
for priests and all others. But more and more He is telling us that now is the
time to start to more and more move out from our chapters and to be apostles
of His love, to help spread the Movement, to help spread the consecrations in
the schools through the consecration cards, the Rosary Aves, both of which
have the Imprimatur of the Cincinnati Archdiocese, to help spread all our
materials, all our books and all the various rosaries, the rosary tapes. And
you are called to do that.
In the beginning of the Movement, it was a
relatively few people who were carrying the burden and carrying the Ministry
on. We have entered a great new episode of the Movement, principally in that
episode, principally centers itself around these meetings of the 13th. More
and more people are realizing as they hear more and more the messages, more
and more people in the Movement are hearing that Jesus is calling each one of
us to be apostles of the Movement, to spread the Movement, to help implement
the various ministries in all ways possible, to help spread the movement by
starting new prayer chapters. Just think if we have something like, I guess,
2500-3000 members in the chapters and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of
Jesus Movement here in this country and throughout the world-most of those,
thus far, in this country.
But just think if each person would take it
upon himself or herself to go all out to get one more new chapter formed.
That’s not impossible, I don’t think that’s asking something heroic.
That would double our chapters; that would double our prayer power. And so
much of the Movement, the success of it, depends upon the prayer power coming
out of the chapters and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
Movement. So He’s calling all of us; and how admirably so many in the
Movement are answering. I wish to single out-just because all of you know
about the Florida apparition-four or five, six, I don’t know how many now of
our members from Rita’s core group have gone down to the apparition site.
One of our main members, Tom A., has a home there at St. Petersburg, and
Clearwater is just a short distance from there. And they’ve been going down
and staying in his house, and each day going over to the apparition site and
handing out our materials, especially the rosary message tape, but other
materials also. This is what Our Lord, Our Lady has asked us to do. And
they’ve had phenomenal success. We can’t keep enough materials down there.
They just, the people are just so eager for it. But this is what. . .and they
do it on their own time, they drive down, some of them spend three or four
days, some a week and they come back. But what a marvelous example of their
answering the call to the apostleship to which Jesus calls them in the
Movement. And they’re doing just a tremendous amount of good.
And by the way when I’m talking and as
long as I’m talking about Florida I might read you part of that message of
Our Lady. You have read it, no doubt if you’d gotten a copy of the picture
with the message on the back. But for my own purposes I want to read that here
and now. So Mary tells us, this is the message which Rita received on December
the 19th:
Mary speaks: My dear children, I
give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas
morn’. He is the Almighty God the Light of the world.
I appear to you, my children on a bank in
Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts?
You turn away from my Son, Jesus for your money. Your money is your god.
I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as
I once appeared to you.
When Rita got that message and when she gave
it to me, both of us for a number of days thought that her number of
apparitions was simply decreasing, but we both came to the conclusion; well
Rita came to the conclusion and I followed after her, in agreement with her
conclusion, Mary says, "I do not appear as I once appeared to you."
She was saying apparently that, "I’m appearing to you in this new way,
where the whole world can see me."
So many others’ apparition sites have had
their believers of course, but many, many people throughout the world have
doubted all this talk about the various apparition sites of Mary. She says,
"I do not appear as I once appeared to you." She is appearing on a
bank for the whole world to see.
Mary continues:
"I am asking you today to circulate
my message given on a tape on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December
12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now."
That’s one of the main things our apostles
down in Florida are doing, handing out the tapes with this message.
Mary continues:
"Please circulate this tape now. Give
it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my
Rosary Book."
She’s referring to a book which Shepherds
of Christ Publications came out right around Christmas time. Hopefully all of
you have received it in the mail, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
as given to Rita. Now here’s the point I want to make here and now. Notice
how she links up the apparition site with the circulation of her Rosary Book,
and we are circulating the book there. But to me, there’s a very great
phenomenon connected with the colors on the window, bank windows and the
Rosary Book. And Rita herself pointed this out to me. Now this cover on this
book-it was designed by Hal K. weeks and even months before the apparition of
Our Lady on the bank in Florida. When did you start to design that Hal?
(question asked to Harold K.) Almost, two years ago. And the colors were
already selected months ago, right? Well if you’ll take the picture of the
bank of the apparition of the bank on Florida, and this Rosary Book, you will
notice that the colors are the same. To me, that’s a miraculous confirmation
of the fact that Our Lady is connecting the apparition site on the bank in
Florida with the Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a special way with the
rosaries. It’s just phenomenal. You can check the colors out one by one.
They’re a little bit brighter on the book, but because of the photography
involved I think you can see how they wouldn’t be quite as bright on this.
But check out the colors. They’re the same on the Rosary Book and on this.
And these colors, as I say, were picked by Hal months and months before the
apparition. You can take it for what you want, but for me it’s a miraculous
confirmation of this message, that Our Lady chose those same colors which are
on the front of her Rosary Book, to show the same colors relative to her
apparition there on the bank in Florida.
Therefore, our Florida apostles are one of
the many examples I could point out to you of how people in the Movement are
more and more taking up the challenge, the invitation of Jesus and Mary to
spread this Movement throughout the world. They have chosen the Shepherds of
Christ Movement as a great instrument to help bring about the Fatima message.
How privileged we are to be part of it, to be called to it. I believe, I’ve
told you this before, at least some of you have heard me, I think this
Movement is one of the greatest in the history of the Church. And I think
history itself will bear that out. So how precious a gift each of us has been
given by Our Lord in calling us to be members of this Movement.
Therefore, a very important aspect of our
consecration to Their Hearts is to be apostles, to help spread all the
ministries. Another aspect of our consecration is the idea of union. I think
we’re all very well aware how the consecration unites us to the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary, and through Them to the Father and the Holy Spirit. But
perhaps we don’t think often enough of that how it unites us with one
another, in the Movement, in the Church, throughout the whole world. You
cannot grow in union with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, without
growing in union with all your neighbors. And this is the tough part. It’s
relatively easy to love Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, isn’t it?
Three Persons in One God infinitely perfect and Mary a human person, perfect,
free from all sin. It’s easy to love the Triune Persons and Mary, relatively
speaking. But it’s not all that easy to love each other all the time,
isn’t it? And yet that’s what Jesus calls us to. Jesus literally died for
each and every person. And no matter how unattractive a person is in their
behavior, Jesus still died for that person. If He loved that person enough to
die for that person, then certainly we have to love them, him or her, and
especially within the Movement. Satan is violently attacking us, he will
always try to cause division in the Movement. But if we are going to be
examples - and we are called to that, to be examples to the whole Church and
the whole world of what it’s going to be like in the new era, when we all
exist in such great loving union with each other in Christ. We are the
forerunners of that. We’re helping to prepare the way for that for the whole
Church, for the whole world. Not only us, but we have been given a special
mission for that. So we have to be united in love with each other, if we have
differences, we work them out in love and in peace. We work them out in love
and in peace. In one of the Blue Books, Jesus says, "The glass is either
half-empty or it’s half-full." I look at my neighbor, whether he or she
is in the Movement or outside of it. I can either look at the half-empty part
of the glass or the half-full part. I can either look at that person’s
faults and concentrate on them, or I can concentrate on the great goodness
which is inherently theirs. If they are in the state of sanctifying grace,
their soul is magnificently beautiful, despite the blemishes of their failings
of their sins. When I look at a person, do I look at the half-empty part or
the half-full part?
Everyday I ask you to pray for a growing
unity in the Movement. What Our Lord has allowed us to accomplish so far in
less than three years is just miraculous, I think it’s just miraculous. The
sign becomes ever and ever greater that He started this Movement, not me. I
was just the instrument which He chose to head it up. He has given me so many
beautiful people to help me do the Movement and that includes all of you. He
has given you so many beautiful companions in the Movement. Let us concentrate
on that part of it. This is the only way we’re going to be models to the
rest of the Church and the world, of the profound union that Our Lord calls us
to, not only with Himself, but with each other.
Strength for all this, day after day, it’s
not easy to live this way, is it? But as I said in my homily, the great
strength we have for that is the Eucharist. The power of the Eucharist is much
greater than your faults or my faults or the faults of others in the Movement
that surround you, or the faults of others in your parish, or the rest of the
Church and the world. He can give you the strength to arise above your own
faults and the faults of others around you, and march forward in the most
positive way towards this great new era. Oh what a gift the Eucharist is.
St. Julian Eymard, the founder of the
Blessed Sacrament Fathers, who gave us such beautiful writings on the
Eucharist, in one of his writings on the Eucharist he says:
"It is true also that the world does
all in its power to prevent us from loving Jesus in the most Blessed
Sacrament with a real and practical love, to prevent us from visiting Him
and cripple the effects of His love. This world engrosses the attention of
souls; it finds and enslaves them with external occupations in order to
deter them from dwelling too long on the love of Jesus. It even fights
directly against this practical love and represents it as optional, as
practicable at most only in a convent. And the devil wages incessant warfare
on our love for Jesus in the most Blessed Sacrament. He knows that Jesus is
there, living and substantially present; that by Himself He is drawing souls
and taking direct possession of them. The devil tries to efface the thought
of the Eucharist in us, and the good impression made by it; for in his mind,
that should decide the issue of the struggle." (That is if we give in
to Jesus’ desire to possess us in the Eucharist.) "And yet God is all
love. This gentle Savior pleads with us from the Host: "Love Me as I
have loved you; abide in My love! I came to cast the fire of love on the
earth, and My most ardent desire is that it should set your hearts on
fire." 1
1St. Peter Eymard, "The
Most Blessed Sacrament Is Not Loved!," as in The Treasury of
Catholic Wisdom, Fr. John Hardon, S.J., ed.; Ignatius Press, p. 384.
Union amongst ourselves through our union
with Jesus and Mary and Father and Holy Spirit. Each of you is so precious to
Jesus. He has given each of you a very, very, very special gift, precious
gift, in calling you to be involved in this Movement. Very early on in the
Movement, it was July 31st of 1994, on the Feast of St. Ignatius, He often
gives me very important messages on key feasts, and the Feast of St. Ignatius
is a feast for Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. And He
told me in that message that He would give great, great, great graces to those
who join the Movement, and hope I’m sure, all of you who have been in the
Movement have experienced those great graces. In appreciation for the great
graces Jesus has given you in the Movement, I ask you, with great joy and a
great sense of responsibility and a great sense of privilege, to do what you
can to implement the ministries of the Movement. No one else can do your role,
can carry out your part. You are preciously unique, no one exists like you
now, no one ever has, no one ever will. It’s you alone who can give Jesus
the opportunity to do what He wants through your humanity to help spread the
Movement. To the extent that you answer Jesus and give yourselves to Him, and
work as time and energy permits, as your other duties permit to help spread
the ministries, to that extent you give Him an opportunity which no one else
can give Him, and to the extent that you hold back, to this extent He loses
this opportunity which no one else can give Him.
A precious Savior who has done so much to
each of us. Certainly He deserves our full loving response. As I kneel before
the crucifix each day, either before a actual crucifix or one in my mind, let
us ask ourselves those questions posed to us by Ignatius Loyola, "What
have I done for Christ?" "What am I now doing for Christ?"
"What ought I to do for Christ?"

Excerpt from September 17, 2002

Messenger:
Jesus told me that Spelt was good for me
and He told me to take it.
I have taken it since about June 1997.
It is a very good grain. I get it from
Kraft Specialties,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
I thank God for this great food.
I take it every day as Our Lord told me
to.
I mix the granules in boiling water
and let it sit a little while then
I drink it. It has helped me very
much to feel good.
