For he has rescued us from the Underworld,

Revelation 7: 9-12
After that I saw that there was a huge number, impossible for anyone to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language; they were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands. They shouted in a loud voice, ‘Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’ And all the angels who were standing in a circle round the throne, surrounding the elders and the four living creatures, prostrated themselves before the throne, and touched the ground with their foreheads, worshipping God with these words:
Amen. Praise and glory and wisdom,
thanksgiving and honour
and power and strength
to our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Tuning — a sister told me where I went to
St. Clare's convent to pray — oh they are tuning the
organ — first I heard them tune the flutes, then
the oboes (I knew them well since my daughter
played them at Mass) Bassoons —
He said next, next and two people were there — Remember
when we go to the optometrist and he tries on lens,
next, next, some of those lens give us just awful vision —
one seems to be just right, but we soon narrow it
down to a few — then he says "is this better", "is this
better" and we almost feel confused, but eventually
we make a decision and he gives us corrective lens.
Now he has a trumpet on the old pipe organ —
it sounds almost stuck — a robust tone and so
different than the high flutes —
Since Jesus told me to come and write this writing
I figured there was certainly a message in the harmony
of the beautiful instruments of the old pipe organ
when it is played at Mass — loving and honoring
God — oh - that sounds really off — oh that's better —
some notes sound as if they stay off.
Penetrating heart and soul Jesus outpours His
abundant grace to the already graced baptized soul
when they go to the Eucharist and Adoration. Eucharist
means thanksgiving. I don't ever want to miss my
hour of adoration with Jesus. I know how much
He loves me and He waits for me to come and He wants me
to take time and be with Him. When I go He is there
truly present — no less present, than the day He
walked the earth. I see Jesus, His Sacred Heart, and
He is pointing to His Heart crowned with thorns
and it is consumed with fire - fire for love of
me and the souls He gave His life for. His other hand
is extended and I see the glorified wound in it.
God is love and Jesus shows us in a cold world where
people are so hungry for love His most precious
Sacred Heart — consumed with love for us. Jesus
is waiting and longing for our love. God the Father, so
loved the world, He sent His only begotten Son.
Psalm 63: 2-9
Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and your glory.
Better your faithful
love than life itself;
my lips will praise you.
Thus I will bless you all my life,
in your name lift up my hands.
All my longings fulfilled as with fat and rich foods,
a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.
On my bed when I
think of you,
I muse on you in the watches of the night,
for you have always been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
my heart clings to you,
your right hand supports me.
May those who are
hounding me to death
go down to the depths of the earth,
I know that satan presses down to try to get us to
feel angry — where there are places, like China, Indiana
where people pray all day before the exposed Eucharist
it feels so good and peaceful, just to be there. The
center of our life there is the Church where Jesus is
exposed, the community building is across the grass and
it is there we eat and send out the newsletter to
189 countries or more.
We have sent about 55,000 Newsletters on Mary — it
is so very beautiful, but we got this letter yesterday from
a bishop in India, that distributes the newsletters to His
priests.
About 2 weeks ago we got this letter —
These remaining 25,000 Priestly Newsletters and
some for Auxiliary Bishops and Retired Bishops
remain in China, Indiana — The postage is
about $15,000 for what is left — It is packets of
Newsletters which Bishops give to their priests —
centered in consecration to the 2 Hearts like Mary
said Jesus wanted at Fatima.
As we unite more deeply as a body from more
and more grace received at Mass, through the hands
of our beloved priests — and we go to the Pure and
Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary — we become more
one in Their Hearts — we become stronger members
in the body of Christ — more and more saturated with
God's grace — We as members of the body of Christ,
united to the Mass as we are - living a holy, virtuous
life can help strengthen the world as we live
more and more according to God's will in love —
It is not that there is not enough grace in the world,
but so much is wasted —
From Priestly Newsletter March/April 1995
The great tragedy concerning human suffering is not that there is so much of it. The real tragedy is that apparently so much of it is wasted. So much of it apparently is not coped with according to God’s will.
July 18, 2001
R. So much opportunity for grace is wasted. We must identify our lives with Jesus.
Suffering teaches us patience.
Very much grace can be released when we identify with Him and accept our crosses, our suffering.
My going to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and frequency of
the Eucharist deeply unite us IN HIM —
People complain about division at Church —
give them a prayer manual and tell them to go to
the Eucharist —
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus is a
movement - Jesus asked Fr. Carter to begin —
This has been going on for about 12 years now — helping
to strengthen the body of Christ — you can give 2 hours
before Jesus a week and pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers.
When people are members of the Shepherds of Christ they are
part of a network of hierarchy, priests and
people, families praying all over the world for
the priests, the Church and the world.
I watch people who help us, they are tremendously
blessed, their families are blessed. They are blessed
as individuals — they become closer and closer to Jesus and
the Father and the Holy Spirit. Mary takes them to her
Immaculate Heart.
Fr. Carter died, but he is with us praying in
heaven for this Movement Jesus asked him to begin —
Here is the promise from Jesus to those who pray
these prayers — Jesus will take them deeper into
His Heart and Mary's Heart — On the Feast of St. Ignatius
13 1/2 years ago Jesus gave Fr. Carter a holy Jesuit priest
with a doctors in theology and author of 17 books on
the spiritual life this message. He had sent the
first Priestly Newsletter at the direction of Jesus.
July 31, 1994
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)
Soon after that Jesus gave Fr. Carter this message —
now over 13 years
October 13, 1994
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."
- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.
Then Jesus asked Fr. Carter to begin the Apostles
of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement and
here is this message —
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.
end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message
Jesus told me November 18, 2007
I want you to circulate the Medicine of Immortality
book with the Prayer Manual of the Shepherds of Christ —
do not put in picture of Our Lady of Clearwater when
circulating the Medicine of Immortality book
with the Red Prayer Manual.
Also praying the prayers in the Red Prayer
Manual and the Fatima statue with glass
have helped lead many fallen away Catholics back
to the Church - also physical healings —
Call Doris 1-888-211-3041
We need this prayer all over the United States.
Parishes that have Shepherds of Christ Prayer Chapters have
greater unity and love — they have great devotion
to the Eucharist —
People with families who pray the prayers
have fewer problems with children — this has
been reported that those dedicated to the Mission —
praying the prayers have been majorly
blessed in their families.
The organ is ready to go now — where once disharmony
may have occurred because it is tuned — it will
play beautiful music through the hands of
an accomplished musician —
Well it is like that — to those who pray
the prayers in the red prayer manual — they
are united in one mind and one heart and pray
beautiful music when uniting their hearts
in love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
I have watched prisoners turn their hearts
to God given the Red Rosary book and the
Red Prayer Manual. Holiness abounds
more and more when people go to the pure and
Holy Sacred Heart of Jesus — The New Adam —
Where the old Adam and old Eve were rebellious
and sinned and did not do God's will —
Going to the New Adam and New Eve brings
us in great unity in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary —
In a class room in school there are
50 children and maybe 50 different wills —
When the school children are given the
Consecration prayers then they become
more united —
People giving their hearts to the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary are more attuned to doing
God's will — IN LOVE
The saints in heaven live in
harmony in God's will
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)
NOTES:
19. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to
Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford:
TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). p.9.
We have tainted vision
from imperfect human natures
we see imperfectly
the devil presses down in darkness
trying to get people to sin
Consecrating our Hearts to Jesus and Mary is
what Mary asked for at Fatima —
We must live the consecration —
It is an extension of our baptismal vows
We are more easily able to discern God's
will for us in love
We are all imperfect
The devil can work through angry hearts
who do not recognize God
Fr. John says
true happiness is found in God —
when men leave God out they get
more and more angry, like stone
hearts - hearts of rock
Jesus' Heart is meek and tender of
Heart
1 Corinthians 1: 3-9
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am continually thanking God about you, for the grace of God which you have been given in Christ Jesus; in him you have been richly endowed in every kind of utterance and knowledge; so firmly has witness to Christ taken root in you. And so you are not lacking in any gift as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed; he will continue to give you strength till the very end, so that you will be irreproachable on the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can rely on God, who has called you to be partners with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
I see with imperfect vision
You see with imperfect vision
The Sacred Heart, Immaculate Heart and the
Eucharist give us better vision
The Father's vision
1 Thessalonians 5: 18
and for all things give thanks; this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Sing Song: Bread of Life
Sing Song: One Bread, One Body
Ephesians 4: 1-7, 11-13
I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you were called. With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love. Take every care to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together. There is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all.
On each one of us God’s favour has been bestowed in whatever way Christ allotted it.
And to some, his ‘gift’ was that they should be apostles; to some prophets; to some, evangelists; to some, pastors and teachers; to knit God’s holy people together for the work of service to build up the Body of Christ, until we all reach unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God and form the perfect Man, fully mature with the fullness of Christ himself.
Psalm 139: 1-10
Yahweh, you examine me and know me,
you know when I sit, when I rise,
you understand my thoughts from afar.
You watch when I walk or lie down,
you know every detail of my conduct.A word is not yet on my tongue
before you, Yahweh, know all about it.
You fence me in, behind and in front,
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such amazing knowledge is beyond me,
a height to which I cannot attain.Where shall I go to escape your spirit?
Where shall I flee from your presence?
If I scale the heavens you are there,
if I lie flat in Sheol, there you are.If I speed away on the wings of the dawn,
if I dwell beyond the ocean,
even there your hand will be guiding me,
your right hand holding me fast.
day discourses of it to day,
night to night hands on the knowledge.No utterance at all, no speech,
not a sound to be heard,
but from the entire earth the design stands out,
this message reaches the whole world.
High above, he pitched a tent for the sun,who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom,
delights like a champion in the course to be run.
Sirach 50: 22-24
And now bless the God of all things,
the doer of great deeds everywhere,
who has exalted our days from the womb
and has acted mercifully towards us.
May he grant us cheerful hearts
and bring peace in our time,
in Israel for ages on ages.
May his mercy be faithfully with us,
may he redeem us in our own times!
Psalm 138: 1-5
I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart,
for you have listened to the cry I uttered.
In the presence of angels I sing to you,
I bow down before your holy Temple.I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy;
your promises surpass even your fame.
You heard me on the day when I called,
and you gave new strength to my heart.
All the kings of the earth give thanks to you, Yahweh,
when they hear the promises you make;
they sing of Yahweh's ways,
'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'
Revelation 5: 12
loudly chanting:
Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed
to receive power, riches, wisdom,
strength, honour, glory and blessing.
Revelation 1: 6
…and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
giving thanks with joy to the Father who has made you able to share the lot of God's holy people and with them to inherit the light.
Because that is what he has done. It is he who has rescued us from the ruling force of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son that he loves, and in him we enjoy our freedom, the forgiveness of sin.
He is the image of the unseen God,
the first–born of all creation,
for in him were created all things
in heaven and on earth:
everything visible
and everything invisible,
thrones, ruling forces,
sovereignties, powers—
all things were created through him
and for him.
He exists before all things
and in him all things hold together,
and he is the Head of the Body,
that is, the Church.
He is the Beginning,
the first–born from the dead,
so that he should be supreme in every way;
because God wanted all fullness
to be found in him
and through him
to reconcile all things to him,
everything in heaven
and everything on earth,
by making peace through his death
on the cross.
Luke 23: 35-43
The people stayed there watching. As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, ‘He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.’ The soldiers mocked him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, ‘If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.’ Above him there was an inscription: ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
One of the criminals hanging there abused him: ‘Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well.’ But the other spoke up and rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God at all?’ he said. ‘You got the same sentence as he did, but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He answered him, ‘In truth I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.’
