R. We think of the mystical body of
Christ suffering today. The Passion
of Christ goes on today in the
members of the body of Christ.
We want to make reparation
to Christ because it is just –
for the sins of men. We make this
reparation out of love for God
and we are sorry for the sins
of the human race. We love
God so much and we love
the souls.
We identify with Christ in His
life, death and resurrection – in this
we love Him so much and we want
to help make reparation to God for
the sins of man. We are sorry that
man is so disobedient and sinful
against God.
At the heart of the Fatima message
is reparation, Fr. Carter says.
We know the communion of
Reparation, on the First Friday
of every month.
Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart:
1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
2. I will establish peace in their homes.
3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the
first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving
their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.
R.
Christ loves us so much. He has given
us these writings telling us of His love
for us.

R. And Jesus desires our love in
return. We see the picture of Jesus
like Fr. Carter's ordination card.
Jesus I place my trust in Thee
R. Jesus wants the personal relationship
with us and He wants us to feel
confident of His undying love for
us –
R. Confidence in the Sacred Heart –
Jesus wants us to know His love
and He desires our love in
return.
Confidence in the Sacred Heart.
Jesus died and rose.
Jesus is our Savior –
Song: A Song from Jesus
R.
Jesus' open Heart pours out
grace and mercy to us.
John 19: 25-27
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
R.
Through the pierced Heart of Jesus
the Church was born –
water for baptism
blood for the Eucharist –
R.
From the Blue Books, especially
Blue Book 1, 2, and 3, we see His desire
for this personal love, Jesus wants
with us. To carry a Blue Book
with us, especially the early ones
we can read a little writing in
which He tells us of His love
for us, but all the Blue Books
tell us of His love for us and
His desire to be loved by us,
personally.
Jesus wants us to approach
Him with this confidence and
trust – to intimately be
united to Him in deepest love.
This Consecration to the Sacred Heart
should come out of deep love on the part
of the person – realizing God is
over us and we are loved so
personally by the Divine God
with His most precious Divine Love.
We should love to give the Sacred Heart
this devotion as we pray these
prayers Jesus gave Fr. Carter and told
him to start prayer chapters
all over the world, giving
devotion to His Most Sacred Heart.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
A message for the Earth from Jesus
I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur 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.
end of January 22, 1998
R. We
know in the Heart of Jesus,
we can find help for all our needs.
We have images of the Sacred Heart with
us, in our homes, Churches,
schools –
to remind us that He can help us
in all our needs –
In a rosary I did in Clearwater on the
5th a couple of months ago –
we were told by Jesus and Mary –
"Focus on Jesus"
and the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to
the voice of your supplication.
Over and over again – we were told
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive
to the voice of your supplication.
As we prayed – Mary appeared
and prayed with us and
this was the message given –
We should trust the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
In the Mass, in our imperfection
of loving and giving ourselves –
we unite with Jesus in offering
sacrifice to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
All day we unite to Jesus, in this
Morning Offering – so Jesus
in His perfect love can add
to what is missing in our
imperfect love.
God deserves to be loved
by us, by men and this love
can be a great love – when we have
given ourselves to God and united
to Jesus, the love is more perfected
that is given to God in this
oneness with God.
Do you realize how God deserves
our love? It is just and right –
it says at Mass. It is just that
we unite so deeply with Christ
in giving more perfect love to
God.
A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest
love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
Excerpt from the Mass Book
T
HE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVENI long to unite in the deepest union with Him in the Eucharist. I long for the Mass. I long for Thee, oh God. My every moment, I join as I did to You December 15 under the cross, where I felt Your presence. You whisked me away, and I was totally absorbed in that moment of celestial union with You. For that time, I existed only in You, in the deepest union, and I was in this moment existing in You. The earth stopped, and I touched the heavens, all my bodily cares were existent in You. I existed in Your Divinity, my being was in You. There was no desire or wish or wanting, for in that moment, I had all I wanted in You. I was satisfied and wanted nothing but to remain in that embrace. You were the Being, and my being existed in You, but I was only as I was in You - merged in You, knowing and being in Your Divinity and being so full as to feel complete in myself.
You are so enormous, and You surrounded me in a burning embrace, the presence of red fire. I was not little, or "nothing", but existed in this enormous power and being so complete!
I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.
This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.
The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.
Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.
Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.
Song from Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.
He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.
Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.
Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.
He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.
end of December 17, 1995
R. We
need God's grace to increase in
the virtues of faith, hope and love,
we received in baptism.
We must pray for this increase.
We hope for our eternal salvation
and the salvation of souls.
We must put our trust in the Sacred Heart –
the Heart on fire for love of men –
We consecrate ourselves wholly
and completely to God – not
holding back on what God's
will is for us.
Living to do God's will all through
our day. What is God's will for me –
NOW – How can I be like Christ
wants in my actions and attitude
toward others.
Seeing through God's eyes – the
love He wants to spread – not
thinking of myself first (that
is the habit of pride) but what
is God calling me to in this
situation – putting on Christ –
living in the Heart of Jesus –
loving as His instrument – where
He wants us in our vocation – NOW –
We can only live in the NOW –
to be morbidly locked in wounds
in the past – acting out in remorse
on innocent others is a death
trap to living.
Living is about NOW –
Living is being where God calls us
NOW.
A child can hold their breath
and try to force their way with the
parents –
This child is taking up lots of
time, but he must learn.
An adult holding out in
morbid pain of sufferings 20, 40
years ago, inflicting pain on
a battery of souls who they
effect with their remorse –
is not only hurting their own
life, but blocking others from
many things God may be calling
them to do.
Remorse, anger, pride,
holding out, closed down –
Is not living –
Christ points to His Heart –
R. He shows us love –
He offers us His love of His burning
Heart.
He teaches us about loving –
We know the Power of loving
united to Him –
In our imperfect love –
He makes our love
sweetness with His
love – as we love
in Him – through the
on fire love of the Holy Spirit.
We adore the Heart of Jesus!
Jesus gives to us His infinite
Divine Love –
We give devotion to the Sacred Heart of
infinite love –
It is just and right –
Song: I Love You Jesus
R.
Christ asked Fr. Carter for this devotion
in the messages he received,
July 31, 1994
October 13, 1994
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.
Christ asked for this devotion
in the Prayers He gave.
R.
Mary said –
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
...Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)

Devotion to the Two Hearts was told
at Fatima –
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
June 13, 1917
"God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." (10)

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
Act of consecration to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."
