A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.

Messenger: Please pray for 3 urgent intentions!

From a message received from Jesus on October 4, 2000

"I have called you to My site in China, Indiana, My Mother has requested the day be dedicated to praying for healing for My beloved priest-son, founder of My Movement, Shepherds of Christ.

Messenger: Jesus wants the Mass said to bring healing graces through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater for our founder Fr. Carter.

Jesus speaks: It should be made known, the founder is extremely ill and in need of physical healing to remain on earth. I ask the whole world to join in these prayers of healing especially on this date the 83 anniversary of My Mother's appearance at Fatima. (October 13, 2000)

I desire the message I gave to the founder October 13, 1994, be given with this message.

Messenger: Jesus wants us united all over the world praying for Fr. Carter for healing especially October 13, 2000.

Our special service at 12:00 will begin with Mass, prayers and rosary and will last from 12:00 to 5:00.

Please unite with us during this time to pray for healing of Fr. Carter through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

Messenger: This is a revised message from May 29, 2000, which Jesus asked me to put on the Internet today.

We did not know at the time how sick Father was. I wrote as I was directed by Jesus and God the Father. This message is included for the Mass Book II as Jesus requests.

Please pray for the healing of Father Carter through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, AND IN HIM

Mass Book II Entry

From May 29, 2000, Daily Message

Messenger: When we come to Mass we make an offering of ourselves, all our sorrows (wounds), joys, our complete selves. We see our lives and we put ourselves in Mary's Heart, ask to make the offering in greatest purity. In His Heart we offer the sacrifice IN HIM and WITH HIM.

We become one with Him as deeply as possible. We dwell in His most perfect Heart offering sacrifice to God for our sins and the sins of men. Our whole being is very active in the Mass as we realize more the power of this Sacrifice most worthily offered. We want to give ourselves as completely as possible, our past, all of ourselves, now become so one in the moment of sacrifice as we become one in Him pleading and begging to our God for purification, for help, for love of Him and all others. We give thanksgiving, worship and honor to Him, our whole being given as a sacrifice on the altar IN His pure and holy Heart. Being in the Immaculate Heart of our Mother, we offer sacrifice for the Church and the world.

We offer every precious moment of our lives, united to the Masses around the world, being one in Jesus. Every moment is a moment of sacrifice united to God. This is what we do in the Morning Offering.

The pages of the book of our lives are being written. These moments of our lives are so dear to God, for we offer our lives as a sacrifice for souls.

Are we spending the precious moments of our lives offering sacrifice to God for His honor and glory and giving our lives as a sacrifice for souls?

Write a short page every day or the following day, similar to an examination of conscience, seeing the good (so much good we accomplish we overlook, so many precious moments of joy we forget) and the times we were troubled.

The devil tries to keep us focused on the problems.

We are His shepherds, helping to shepherd His flock, there is so much good we can accomplish every day.

We should write a short page every day, date it, read over it when we are troubled, keep it in a book, see how many joyful moments we have every day.

Give them to God as a bouquet of flowers placed at His feet on that last day, the pages of the life of our book.

We will want all pages to be done in love, all for the honor and glory of God.

We should pray the prayer from Jesus before His bitter passion.

John 17: 22

I have given them the glory
   you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.

John 17: 11

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
keep those you have given me
    true to your name,
so that they may be one like us.

Messenger: Jesus' Heart is on fire for love of us.

God the Father loves us so much, give Him the moments of our lives as a sacrifice.

Peace, LOVE, ONENESS - ONE BODY IN HIM.

Our prayers are answered. We must pray from the depth of our hearts. Giving ourselves in consecration to Jesus, consecrating our hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Offer sacrifice.

Put the flowers as gifts beneath the throne of God.

Plead and beg for souls.

Offer sacrifice. Be united as a body.

And the bell tolls.

Do you hear the bells toll?

As I drove away it was 9:30.

The moments of our lives we cannot live again.

We are here to love and honor God and to serve Him, to prepare ourselves for the life hereafter and to help others get there.

He is the Son of God.

He showed us how to be children of the Father.

He laid down His life for His flock.

He is the Good Shepherd.

We lay down our lives in our Morning Offering.

We lay down our lives and unite to the perfect Sacrifice of the Savior.

The moments go by with such swiftness and now here is the day, the kids are grown, the grandchildren have come, and we still say, "TOMORROW I will be about my union with God."

All the precious moments that could have been united as a sacrifice for special grace for ourselves and others.

When He was here on earth, He merited grace by His life and death.

We need to tap into this grace our Divine Savior came to earth to gain for us.

We must tap into this sacrifice.

Messenger: The moments of our lives tick away. There are millions of souls in nursing homes that could be offering up their lives for souls. We have to unite ourselves and reach them, all the souls that will hear us and unite to this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. He is the Head, we are the members of His body, the Church. We must be united in the Mass, praying every moment together, being one in Him in this Holy Sacrifice so that great grace will be released.

All our most difficult trials, when we endure them with love, can help to bring down great grace.

The moment is now.

The bell is tolling.

I can only live in this moment.

I must unite it to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying for souls.

Through Him, With Him and In Him

Messenger: This is the message of the Second Mass Book.

Messenger: How do the pages of your book appear, the pages that are being recorded whether we write about it or not?

Messenger: Do they all carry a smiley face because we carried the cross with Jesus?

Every moment, whether of joy or suffering, can be a moment of grace being released for our needs, for the salvation of souls, to make reparation to God, to honor and love Him and obey Him.

OUR LIVES ARE INDEED PRECIOUS, every moment, a moment that our Father gave us as a child of God for His honor and glory.

Alleluia, God, help us unite as a body.

Alleluia, God, help us to see ourselves all one as the family of the Father with Mary our loving Mother.

May 29, 2000 - Second Message

Messenger: Today when we celebrate and picnic with our family, how will the page of our book look for the Father? Whether we write or not, we lived it as He willed or we lived it against His will.

Were our moments, moments to give Him honor and glory, to help promote the kingdom, to help save souls and lead others to God? Did the moments help us have a higher place in heaven? Did we mature more in our love relationship with God?

Here is a basket with flowers.

Messenger: Our precious moments are to be petals of flowers we give to our Father for that last day.

Let us record the moments so we can see how the pages of our book are reading. They are being written, whether we write about them or not, and He has them all recorded in our book of life.

August 8, 1946

Today is the day I was born into the world.

What a glorious day it was, for I came and had the opportunity to gain heaven and help others do likewise.

The bell tolls.

The long night will soon be over.

A new spring day buds forth.

In the fall, the leaves give way to winter and soon we see the days are gone and past. How did we love and serve the Lord?

Messenger: The trees are barren, the trees are in full bloom - the years go by, the seasons change, a small sore, a big blockage in the heart, soon the long hard nights come to a close and the glory of the long days waited, arrives. God gives His people what is their due.

How did we love and serve our God? How did we promote the kingdom on earth?

How did we live?

How did we follow in the Good Shepherd's footsteps and lay down our lives for our friends?

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.

The Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Sisters' Mailing Letter

October 8^th, 2000
Entrustment of the World to
Mary, the Mother of Jesus

Dear Spouse of Our Lord Jesus,

            I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love!

            What will change the world? What will change hearts? God’s grace. The Mass goes on all day and we as members of the body of Christ need to unite and pray together as a body so that great grace is released for our priests, the Church and the world.

            I wish to invite you to participate in many possible ways with a new and exiting prayer Movement which is spreading across the world. My name is John Weickert, and I am the president of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. Our Movement was founded by a Jesuit theologian who taught for over 30 years at Xavier University.

            Our primary mission is to pray for priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. Besides English, our materials are becoming available in Spanish, French, and Portuguese with the help of priest and lay translators and their bishops. Our Movement has an extensive Internet site and all of the materials mentioned in this letter can be downloaded free of charge and distributed (www.sofc.org).

            The priestly newsletter is not just for priests, but for also for brothers, sisters, and laity who are interested in the spiritual life. It is centered in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It features writings regarding our union with Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit and Mary. The newsletter also stresses the Eucharist, the Church, prayer, and one's responsibility regarding the social order. The newsletter stresses sound doctrine as found in Scripture, the writing of Popes, and other Church documents. It also presents selected writings from the saints and competent priest-theologians and others. If you would like it sent to you, please call and we will add you to our mailing list free of charge.

            I come to you today also to ask for your help. Will you please help to spread the priestly newsletter and tapes of Father Carter delivering the priestly newsletter to all priests possible? Could you help us to form prayer chapters to pray for the priests and the Church and souls? We need your help!

            One sister can touch so many souls. We need sisters like yourself to help bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart and triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. As a special, special spouse of Jesus, I want to offer you the Mass Book. This book has the Imprimatur and it teaches souls to have a deeper union in the heart with Jesus. Just call and ask that it be sent to you. We also have cards so you can consecrate your heart to Jesus and Mary. You can also request the Parents and Children's Rosary Book.

            Please sister, help all to offer their days in the Morning Offering. Special cards are available for children, youth, and adults. The more we circulate the little card

                        

to the elderly and young and to all, the more people with consecrated hearts unite to the Mass all day as they try to live according to God’s will, and more great graces will be released on the world for all souls, for our priests and the Church.

            We offer every precious moment of our lives united to the Masses around the world, being one in Jesus. Every moment is a moment of sacrifice united to God. This is what we do in the Morning Offering. The pages of our lives are being written. These moments of our lives are so dear to God, for we offer our lives as a sacrifice for souls.

            There is so much grace that can be released as we unite as a body and pray for the priests, the Church and the world. We are all gathered as a ministry praying at 6:30 p.m. We unite to the Mass and pray the prayers in the red prayer manual every day praying as a body for the priests, the Church and the world, followed by the rosary.

            Please help lead souls to Jesus - fruit for the Kingdom! Dear sister, these are your children, the ones you lead to Jesus in churches, schools and nursing homes. Oh sister, you have so many children, lead them to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Send them to the fires of His Heart. He gave His life for their souls - they are your children, they are crying and being led astray! The print, radio, television and movie media often depict lifestyles opposed to God’s ways and the Ten Commandments.

            Please help us to reach God's people that they will consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary and pray as a body, united to the Mass for the priests, the Church and the world. We need your help to reach the children to form Junior Shepherds of Christ Prayer Chapters and to spread the rosary to them.

            We also need your help getting people to make rosaries and send them to Mary's Rosary Factory in Florida, all types of rosaries, especially mission rosaries for schools and the foreign missions. Our current rosary makers can use a million beads a month, but if we are going to have peace in the world as promised by Our Lady at Fatima, many more people are going to have to pray the rosary and help to make rosaries. This is what Mary said at Fatima on October 13^th, 1917:

     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.

            Will you help us in this Movement to reach souls with love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary? Will you help us to reach the nursing homes with the consecration card and the rosary? You may give nursing home residents this little card and teach them to offer up their days in union with the Mass:

                        

            When we come to Mass we make an offering of ourselves, all our sorrows (wounds), joys, our complete selves. We see our lives and we put ourselves in Mary's Heart, ask to make the offering in greatest purity. In His Heart we offer the sacrifice IN HIM and WITH HIM.

            We become one with Him as deeply as possible. We dwell in His most perfect Heart offering sacrifice to God for our sins and the sins of men. Our whole being is very active in the Mass as we realize more the power of this Sacrifice most worthily offered. We want to give ourselves as completely as possible, our past, all of ourselves, now become so one in the moment of sacrifice as we become one in Him pleading and begging to our God for purification, for help, for love of Him and all others. We give thanksgiving, worship and honor to Him, our whole being given as a sacrifice on the altar IN His pure and holy Heart. Being in the Immaculate Heart of our Mother, we offer sacrifice for the Church and the world.

            The more we go through the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the more pure our sacrifice offered. The more pure the offering the greater the grace released from God.

            Please review our materials and in the quiet solitude of praying before the Blessed Sacrament see if you are called by our Lord to help us in some way with this mission.

            If you have any questions about any of the enclosed materials please, call us 1-888-211-3041. We will be happy to talk with you. We need your help!

            Dear sister, may God bless you in your vocation in a special way this jubilee year!

            Please be assured of our continued prayers for you.

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.

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

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