he has drawn us from the heart of the flame!

   

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:

  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.

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.

 

Psalm 19: 2-5

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.

 

Colossians 1: 12-20

                        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.’
