        March 8, 1995 - Nursing Home Message

He Knocks at the Door of our Hearts

Jesus: I will knock on the door of their hearts and whoever opens I will come in and I will sup with thee.

John 14:6  I am the Way; I am Truth and Life... 

Jesus: I am He Whose bootstraps you are unworthy to fasten and I come to you with greatest love, My beloved dear ones.

Oh, how I love thee. Oh, how I wait for you. I ardently love you with an unfathomable love, yet you keep yourselves at arm's length from Me. Some never even come close to Me.

I stand, I knock. I wait so patiently. Gently, I treat you. You do not comprehend the great love I have for you.

I beckon you to listen to My words here, for I truly speak to you. Remove the crust from your eyes. Pray that you may see with hearts that are open to Me, that clear vision is had in your hearts. You look, you wonder, you roam, you cover your eyes. You close your hearts and I watch you, so gently do I tap. So willful you are and set in your ways.

I knock, I knock, I knock so gently and patiently. All that you want, all that you need is found in Me, yet you turn your backs and miss My great love for you.

My dear, dear loved ones. I love you with unfathomable love. I knock, I knock, I knock minute-by-minute, second-by-second. I tend to your needs. Harken to My call. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am Jesus, your Savior on fire for love of you, My dear, dear chosen ones.

You think I do not know your sufferings. I know everything about you. I ponder the ways of your heart. I know you far better than you know yourself. I am Jesus, your beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of your soul. Harken to Me. I love you, I love you, I love you. This is My love letter to you, My sweet ones.

MESSAGE FOR NURSING HOME

Jesus speaks:  My dear, sweet ones, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. How I long and thirst for you, My precious souls. I wait for each one of you. I want to be so close to you. You see before you your world. You do not realize how truly present I am. As you breathe, so your heart beats. I am forever with you. My Heart is a burning furnace of endless love.

Time here is so short, here today - gone tomorrow. I came to this earth that you may have life and have it to the full. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Me - it is mere existence. The Father created you with the greatest love. You are His precious child. There is not another person like you. The Father loved you so much He sent His only begotten Son into the world so that you might be saved. I want you to be with Me forever in heaven, joined in such union with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Oh, sweet one, open your heart and pray to Me. Pray to the Spirit to lead you. Life here is but a passing moment, the dropping of a pin, the batting of an eye.

I ask you for two things: love of God, love of one another. Hearken to My call. Close your eyes and open your hearts. Forgive all those who have offended you. It is only in a pure heart that I can be close to you. To hold on to anger and hatred is to make your hearts hard. Your home in heaven is beyond all comprehension. Live to spread My love that you may forever dwell with Me for all eternity in the courts of heaven.

I love you. I love you. I love you. You are My precious ones. Trade any bitterness you have for My divine love. I love you so much. Offer up your sufferings for the souls that are hurting. It is in loving you will find joy. All that you do, do it for love of God and love of your brother, and someday you will inherit a Kingdom far beyond your comprehension. Heaven is a reward promised to those who love and serve the Lord. I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry. It is in loving you will find your greatest peace.
  

Matthew 11:28

'Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.
  

Messenger: Alleluia, Alleluia, and He gave to them great graces to be drawn ever closer to His Sacred heart, the Heart of burning love.

Mary speaks: My dear children, I am your Mother Mary. I ask you to pray the rosary from your heart. Put yourself there in the lives of my Son, Jesus, and me.

In meditating on Our lives you will grow more and more into the image of Jesus, my Son. He loves you so much. He gave His flesh and Blood for you. He would die for you this day.

My sweet children, open up your hearts and let me lead you to His loving Heart. He loves you so much!

                            made specifically for the elderly by a
                            very holy priest.

  

  

November 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:          It is the Mass and is available on
                            video tape and DVD also, audio tape and 
                            CD.

                                I want My elderly to have copies of these
                            videos so they can say the 6:20 Prayers
                            and see Fr. Mike before the exposed Eucharist.

    

  

November 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:          This tape and Fr. Carter's 6:20 tape is
                            a tremendous aid for those that are terminally ill.

 

                          

                                The tape of the exposed Eucharist can be
                            played for two hours and it has My Songs
                            you can play or not play and ends with
                            benediction.

                                When a person wants to go to the Nursing
                            Home they can follow many different programs.
                            You can go to the Nursing home — weekly or
                            bi-weekly and use the video tapes that follow.

    

     

     

   

      
           

  

November 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:          My Mother has appeared in a special way
                            on each tape. The messages were given for

                            30 minutes, also the Rosary Ave tapes, Mass tape,
                            6:20 tape, story of the crucifix can be used
                            for those in assisted living.

  


  

November 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:          The old form of visiting the nursing homes
                            can still be used.

  

Old form of visiting Nursing Homes

                                Take a big picture of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart.

                                Sing:  Immaculate Mary
   
                                                 Song from Jesus

                                Read several messages from 
                                    the
Nursing Home Message book

                                Rosary Song - large print words

                                Say Our Father, 5 Hail Marys, using meditations
                                    from the Red Rosary Book
(use one mystery)

                                Have pictures if possible.  

                                Rosary Ave video can be used with or without sound.

                                Say more of the Rosary than 5 Hail Marys—
                                    Use meditations from the Little People
                                        and Elderly Rosary Book

                                Give all the 2 cards —

  

 

  

                            Say these at the beginning and end of the meeting.

                            Tell them to keep these cards by their
                                bed and use them every day

                            Pray the prayer for priests, if you must
                                pray it by yourself.

                            Do as many of the prayers 10 - end as is
                                possible from large print prayer
                                manual or large print prayer sheets.

  


  

                            This is an alternative method of visiting
                                the Nursing home.

                            2 WAYS

                                (1)  Videos

                                (2)  old way using materials.

  


  

                            What is important is regularity.

                            What is important are the cards.

                            Singing favorite songs can help.
                                        Teach them the Rosary Song, Song from Jesus.

                            Have large print words and songs available.
                                  These can be down loaded from a PDF
                                     file off the internet.

                            The Nursing home message book can be down-
                                  loaded off the internet or purchased for a
                                  reasonable price.

                            Getting the Elderly to use the 2 cards
                                regularly could help the whole
                                world tremendously.

  

 

  

November 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:      Going to the Nursing home will be majorly
                                rewarding for you and your own spiritual
                                growth.

                            Don't do other things at the Nursing Home
                                when visiting under Shepherds of Christ Name.
                                Don't give talks — stick to the discerned
                                materials — stick to My Nursing Home Programs.

    

    

November 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:      There can be so much graces released from
                                the elderly's prayers.

                            You ignore My message to reach them.

                            You don't pay attention.

                            Their prayers are needed, please circulate
                                the 2 cards.

                                Have prayer sheets in large print
                                    made available on the internet
                                    in a PDF file —

                                This should include one very
                                    large print 10 to the end —
                                Another can be made with large
                                    print of the first part of
                                    these prayers for those in
                                    assisted living and capable
                                    elderly.

                                Some elderly can make rosaries. Many
                            very capable elderly sit around all day
                            and want to help pray and make rosaries.

                                School children must be reached with
                            these two cards.

                                Also the red cards are very good
                            consecration cards for grade schools —

                                All of these should be in PDF
                            files on the internet.

                                Please reach My Elderly. They
                            need to be praying every day, offering
                            up all they do in the morning offering.
                            Oh My people you need prayers.

     

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

  
My dear fellow Associate Members,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
  2. For the Pope.
  3. For all bishops of the world.
  4. For all priests.
  5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
  6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
  7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
  8. For all members of the human family.
  9. For all souls in purgatory.

                                when you pray on the 5ths, 13ths,
                                Sidney Rosary, united by the broadcast
                                system and how this pleases Me so very
                                much. These big prayer gatherings help.

                            Pray your own morning offering.

                            Pray hourly, at least a short prayer.

                            Pray at 6:20 the prayers and if you can't then
                                do them every day.

                            Pray the rosary.

                            Offer everything you do up as a prayer.

                            Teach people this way of life as I have
                                taught you —

                                You are the Shepherds of Christ —

                                This is My way of life for you.

Jesus speaks:  To those who pray My prayers I
                        promise the following special
                        graces:

                                    will experience a deep union 
                                    in My Heart and My Mother's heart,
                                    they will be given special insights
                                    into My unfathomable love for men
                                    and experience a thirsting within
                                    themselves to want to help souls
                                    through intercessory prayer and sacrifices.

                                 - They will have a deeper love of the Mass
                                    through this deeper consecration.

                                 - They will know Me more intimately.

                                 - They will want to live their lives to 
                                    help save souls.

                                 - They will have a deeper love for the priests shepherds.
                                 - They will have a deeper love and dedication
                                    to the Church. (I founded)

                                 - They will want peace on the earth.
                                 - They will want peace in their own hearts.

                                 - You will experience a fearlessness the more
                                    you pray the Holy Spirit Novena prayers
                                    given to you.

                                 - As you meditate on the scriptures you will
                                    understand more fully the plan of
                                    the Father to lead the souls into the
                                    great Reign of My Sacred Heart.

                                 - You and all who pray the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers will be
                                    united in a deep oneness with each other
                                    and the souls of the earth.

                                 - The more you pray these prayers (both sets)
                                    you will live in the truth as you
                                    dwell in Our Hearts.

                                  - You will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit.

                                  - You and your family will be protected by
                                    My Precious Blood and your families
                                    will receive special protection
                                    against satan from fervent recitation
                                    of the prayers. (the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers)

                                 - I promise to take you and the members of
                                    your family in a special way
                                    into My Sacred Heart. I will lavish
                                    you in the fires of My love.

                                 - The priests and the people of the Church and the world
                                    will receive special graces from the fervent
                                    recitation of these prayers. (both sets)

                                 - I will unite My people in a deeper love
                                    from the graces granted from
                                    fervent recitation of these prayers.

                                 - I give these prayers from My image site
                                    in Florida.
                                   I appear there daily as the Sacred Heart.
                                   Some see Me, some do not, but there
                                    is a special presence there.
                                   My Mother appears there for her children.

                                 - In the five years of her apparitions many
                                    souls who have come have been
                                    given special graces of conversion.
                                    Many have been given grace to lead
                                    them into a deeper love union with
                                    God and the Blessed Virgin.

                                 - The image site in Florida has touched
                                    the world.

                                 - I outpour great grace to those who come
                                    to the site.

                                 - There are tremendous graces of healing
                                    granted to all who come.

                                 - People who come rarely leave unchanged.
                                 - The grace granted works in their lives and in
                                    their hearts, long after they have gone.

                                 - A reminder of their visit only need be given
                                    and they experience a memory of
                                    that moment.

                                I ask you to circulate the prayers I have
                                    given, the Shepherds of Christ Prayers 
                                    and the Holy Spirit Novena prayers.
