To Whom it may concern,

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

    Fr. Edward Carter S.J. was a Jesuit priest
in very good standing. He died December 18, 2000.
Mary appeared on the building in Clearwater, Florida
December 17, 1996. She has appeared for 5 years
now on the building.
    Father Carter wrote the last 33 years of the
second millennium. He taught at Xavier University
over 30 years. He had a doctors in theology and
wrote 18 books on the Spiritual Life.
    Our Lord told him to write these Priestly Newsletters
that went to 75,000 priests in the world in English and
Spanish.
    He told him on the Feast of St. Ignatius July 31, 1994
to begin prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church
and the world. These prayers Jesus told Fr. Carter to
compile are translated in Spanish, French, Portuguese all with
the imprimatur.
    The Newsletters Jesus compiled through Fr. Carter from
October 1996 - December 1999 are in a Book - Priestly Newsletter
Book II with imprimatur (enclosed)
    God the Father said if we circulate this book to the 
75,000 priests, all Bishops and Jesuits it would
help to change the face of the earth.
    In the book we were instructed to include
the Prayer Manual praying for the Priests, the
Church and the world.

    Our Lord and Our Lady and God the Father
have asked us to do this by Christmas.
We can send the Priestly Newsletter Book II to the
75,000 priests, with the Prayer Manual
by Christmas with postage for about
$150,000.
    We have a donor that will match the funds.
    The Newsletters are used in the Pontifical College in Rome.
here are two letters from there.
On December 17, 2001 it will be the 5 year anniversary
since Mary first appeared.

The Shepherds of Christ Movement was begun by Fr. Carter to help to
    bring to completion the mission Mary began at Fatima,
    culminating in the Reign of the Sacred Heart and
    triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
We received the loan on the Virgin Mary building one week after Fr
    Carter's funeral, the last business day of the second
    millennium.
We have operated from the building from the beginning
    when Mary first appeared.
We supply home made rosaries to Catholic Schools and have
    a rosary program.
We reach families, schools, churches with the
    consecration to try to get people to consecrate
    their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
We really need the funds to get the Priestly Newsletter Book II
    in the hands of the Priest. Please help us.

Living in the moment

Messenger:    I had such joy to be at Mass today.
                            The Mass was going on in the Church
                            while I so deeply tried to unite to the
                            holy sacrifice being offered.

                        I went to communion and I so deeply united
                            to Jesus in that moment as He came to me.
                        I received His precious Blood, I looked at
                            the cup and was go grateful for that
                            moment to receive Him.

                        At every moment we want to unite to the Masses
                            going on around the world.
                        At every moment we offer ourselves and
                            what we are doing to help in the 
                            work of redemption.

                        The time is now. I can remember the past
                            with great joy, I can prepare and
                            think about the future, but I live
                            every moment to the full realizing
                            how important it is to live that
                            moment being so one in Jesus
                            to help in the work of redemption.

                        Some may think about the future all
                            the time and so to speak
                            "never touch down" and live in
                            the present at all.

                        We are surrounded by people right now
                            that God wants us to be with and
                            be His light.

                        We may want to be with the person who
                            is a challenge to us, because
                            of some past unfinished business.

                        We must see how God has outpoured so
                            much love in our life today.

                        Sometimes people are never happy.
                            They are always living for another
                            day, hoping to be with another
                            person, being in a different
                            place. Do they ever touch down
                            to the present moment and
                            live it to the full accepting
                            the gifts God has given in that
                            moment.

                        Some people are always looking for another 
                            situation, another day, another place
                            some more interesting people to be
                            with. They miss the present moment,
                            some are never satisfied, always looking
                            for another time of greater satisfaction.

                        We are living, anticipating the life with God
                            forever in heaven, we are looking forward
                            to many events, but to not live in
                            the present moment is not good.

                        We are in the present moment. How
                            deeply can I partake in it in Him.

                        Even undergoing chemotherapy can be
                            lived in the present moment.
                            Living in deep suffering can help
                            to bring down great grace
                            for ourselves and for the souls
                            of the earth.

                        Here is a story, a woman had lots of
                            people who loved her. She was
                            always searching for that love
                            that she thought would satisfy her.

                        She wasn't seeing all the love being poured
                            out to her every day.
                        Some people want to live through another
                            person. If the other person
                            is happy they are happy, but if the
                            other person becomes moody they try
                            to fix them because their own happiness
                            is being dependent on the other's moods.

                        Our happiness must come from a joy from
                            within to love God and love others
                            and be so thankful for God's gifts,
                            no matter what He gives us, it is a gift.

                        Many times we miss the deep love God is
                            pouring out to us with others love
                            because we expect a human person
                            to completely satisfy us.

                        Silly, that is silly, only God can satisfy
                            us completely and we are satisfied
                            completely when we get to heaven.
                        We are in a desert land here.
                        We are thirsting, searching, wanting
                            complete fulfillment with Him.
                        Some people get satisfaction from being
                            a star, they think if others think I
                            am great then I will be great.

                        Last night we had a wonderful healing rosary
                            in Sidney. Our Lord directed me what
                            we needed to read.

                        If we could live according to the messages and
                            readings He gave us, we would be
                            progressing in a mature way in the
                            spiritual life.

                        I include some of this program so you too
                            can follow the plan for the healing
                            rosary.

                        Song is a great gift.
                        We can ignore the gift of song,
                            we can ignore the gift of a
                            good deep breathe filling our
                            body with oxygen.

                        We can ignore the importance of
                            water, of drinking enough of it.

                        Our world is full of diet pops and
                            uppers, sugar, cookies etc.

                        We can control our whole body on uppers,
                            pop, sugar etc and slow it down
                            with alcohol.

                        We need to do things in moderation, but
                            we know when we are addicted to
                            something or something is even
                            more important than God.

                        We can enjoy the gifts God has given to us,
                            but never do these things become
                            more important than God.

                        Lets talk about spiritual maturity and
                            why we are here and the importance
                            of living in the moment.

                        For me the greatest moment is when I receive
                            Jesus in communion, I long for this moment.
                            My whole day centers around the Mass, 
                            but Masses are being celebrated all day
                            and I realize how I can unite at
                            every moment to the Holy Sacrifice
                            of the Mass to help bring down great
                            grace for myself and the souls of
                            the earth especially, the priests,
                            the Church and the world.

                        I am not selfish, I want to be so deeply saturated
                            with His life, this is my goal, my quest,
                            my life to be saturated more and more with
                            His life.

                        He is my all. I long for Him, I want Him,
                            another person may be very important
                            to me and I may be very deeply united
                            to them and very deeply united to the
                            saints in heaven, but this deep oneness
                            I experience with all others is in
                            being united in oneness in Him.

                        I want Him, which is why being too close to
                            some not according to God's will or
                            being divided with others would
                            cause me not to be as deeply united
                            to Him and I don't want that.

                        There are guidelines. They are living in
                            every relationship according to God's will.
                            God intends us to live according to His will.

                        Do you know when you know something is
                            His will and you do your own will, against
                            His, it doesn't feel good. You may
                            continue to justify your actions
                            because inside you are unsettled.

                            What gives peace is doing what He wants.

                            Jesus showed us how He obeyed to His
                                death on the cross.

                            He showed us about obedience and
                                how He obeyed the Father's will.

                            The devil tempts people to be
                                superior over God's laws, in
                                this case, they judge, it is okay,
                                then they don't feel good inside,
                                it is easier to bend the rules
                                more and more.

                            What gives us the greatest joy and
                                happiness and peace is to live
                                according to His will.

                            Did you ever do something and then know
                                God really didn't want you being
                                there, you said no to something
                                you knew He was calling you to
                                and then it just felt wrong
                                after you did it.

                            We really have to pray to do God's will.
                                We can only be in one place at one
                                time even though we can unite
                                deeply in our hearts in deep
                                prayer.

                            I can be so deeply united in my heart to
                                a Mass going on so many states
                                away. I can be so deeply united
                                it is as if I was there. The union
                                is in my heart.

                            This is what God is teaching us in the
                                Shepherds of Christ to be so one in
                                our hearts praying as a body, no matter
                                where we are, we are deeply united to
                                each other and to the Masses going
                                on around the world.

                            We have to do God's will, we must pray
                                every moment to do that.

                            Father Carter would say, not to do more
                                than what God wants, just
                                what God wants.

                            I want to be satisfied here below, but
                                I can never be satisfied the way
                                I crave.

                            I want to be living in the moment, loving
                                the people He has given to me at
                                that moment.

                            I had a special deep connection in my
                                heart to Fr. Carter doing this mission of
                                helping to bring to completion the
                                mission Mary began at Fatima.
                            He isn't here and I hear God tell me I
                                am more deeply united to him (Fr. Carter)
                                than I ever was when he was on earth
                                because he has the fullness of
                                life in heaven.

                            It doesn't feel too good sometimes.
                            Father Carter was my spiritual father, I
                                could tell him everything.
                            God has given us these messages and
                                writings and He has been spiritually
                                directing us through Father Carter,
                                but since Father's death I have a deeper,
                                deeper connection to God.

                            It is important to go to confession.

                            We have a very good priest helping us
                                daily with the Movement now,
                                but I see Jesus directing the
                                Church and the world in the
                                writings of Father Carter and
                                His messages.

                            I want to be satisfied, I want to
                                be so deeply united to God,
                                I will not be completely satisfied
                                here below.

                            I must be grateful for the gifts God has
                                given to me.

                            This time of year satan can work on our
                                emotions to try to fill a lot of our old
                                unmet needs.

                            The bottom line is, we must want God's will.
                                Not too much or too little of something.

                            We have to love each other, truly love each other,
                                not be slavishly dependent, not think
                                our moods depend on others.

                            God is calling us to be a light.
                            The devil can try to put out our light.
                                We cannot let our moods be
                                formed by what others are doing.

                            In the core of our hearts, our strength
                                comes from God and we are deeply
                                connected to each other in love.
                                We shouldn't be this way that one 
                                day we love somebody and the next
                                day we hate them. 

                            We are to love always, doing God's
                                will for us.

                            We know when we are doing God's will,
                                we keep praying for direction, keep
                                praying to the Holy Spirit, going to
                                the Eucharist, communicating to
                                all 3 Persons of the Trinity, staying
                                connected to the angels and saints.

                            The devil works in division.
                            When we know God wants us to work together
                                for the sake of souls, you know the
                                devil will try to break this up.
                                We must fight against the temptations
                                of the devil to try to get us to    
                                feel divided in our hearts with
                                people alive and dead.

                            Remember God is light and in Him
                                there is no darkness.

Jesus speaks:      It will be a struggle to stay united
                                over these holidays. So many emotions
                                are in the hearts. You are at war.
                                Satan wants to stop the Shepherds of Christ
                                Movement. You battle with him.
                            You must not give into his tactics to divide you.
                            I have called you to work together in love.
                            Two people working together may produce a
                                lot of things that can effect lots of
                                souls, you know satan will apply
                                pressure on both sides, he will try
                                to get you busy with others, telling
                                you it is a good work you do.

                                I am God and I have called you to
                                    this mission. Doing a deed that
                                    may help someone, may not be
                                    God's will for you.
                                    ie A mother helping at Church not
                                    tending to her children.

                                Do not abandon the calling I have given
                                    you.

                                Holy obedience.

                                I gave My all to My death on the cross,
                                    I obeyed the Father.

                                I tell you, you will be tested over
                                    the holidays with family and
                                    friends—do not abandon the
                                    mission.

Messenger:         I did a big rosary in Sidney last night.
                        While I was waiting to talk to the priest
                        about the message after the rosary in a
                        private room, another person called
                        me on my cell phone and was telling me good things 
                        about the nations, but my calling was to talk
                        to the priest and go meet the people after
                        the rosary. Another came and wanted
                        to talk to me about a situation.
                            I drove to Sidney and was sent there as
                        a messenger by Jesus. It was "uncanny"
                        how I was stuck in a room talking
                        on the phone while all the people were outside.
                        It was funny how the person had to talk to
                        me right then. I really didn't get to talk
                        to the people much. I had to talk to the 
                        priest, but I felt the devil manipulated
                        the other events then to keep me from talking
                        to the people.
                            I was so directed what to do for the Sidney
                        rosary and the information given could
                        really help a person to heal inside.
                            It was Jesus that called the meeting there,
                        it was Jesus that called the people, it
                        was Jesus that gave the message to His
                        apostles.

                            It is important we see the over all plan.
                        The devil gets us focused on little details
                        many times to distract us.

                            Especially if a mailing is important or
                        or meeting important, the devil tries
                        to block us.
                            We must work His Plan.
                            We must want to help to save souls.
                            We must want to love.

                        I have most of the books, I think, in Father
                            Carter's library. I feel God is directing
                            me through his writings many times.
                            I went into all his books and he has
                            little papers in them.
                        In the books I opened this was the theme
                            I saw.
                        Love means giving to the other.
                        We genuinely want the good of the other.
                        Love is a choice, it isn't like
                            we fall in love, we keep choosing
                            to love and we give ourselves and
                            our time to the other.

                        If something is important to us we
                            spend time doing it.

                        We can't have a loving relationship with
                            God or any person if we don't
                            find time to be together.

                        God gives us such a gift in the Mass.

                        In the Mass we unite in such oneness
                            praying for the souls.

                        I feel such oneness in the Mass with
                            all of heaven and all of earth
                            and that is why it is so
                            important that priest is so deeply
                            connected to Christ in the Mass,
                            I see Christ in the priest
                            at Mass.
                           What a gift God gives us in the 
                            priest.

Jesus speaks:    I write to you now.

                          I want My Priestly Newsletter Book II
                              to reach the Priests

                          It is important to the 
                              renewal of the Church and 
                              the world.

15.   Message from Jesus

Jesus speaks:     And I speak to you My children and I tell you this, that it is living in love according to the will of the Father, just living in love and doing God's will that can help so much to bring down grace for this troubled world. It is love that I ask. 

And you may think that you have to do so many things that are so big and heroic and it's just the simple, loving response all through the day, putting up with the little sorrows and the joys in love, death-resurrection all through the day. 

This is how you can identify with Me taking the little simple things that you are given and doing them in love, doing them at every moment to help to bring down grace for the souls, that the souls will turn their hearts to God, that they will be with Me forever and ever. 

It is so simple and yet you want to make it so complicated. 

So many of you miss the present moment and the importance of it and so much suffering is not endured as it should be. Much grace that could be given and released is not released because they are always thinking of something else, fighting the suffering, not accepting many things that are given, always looking for things to be different. 

It will be the great era of peace and it will begin with you My chosen ones as you pray the rosary more and more your hearts will be hearts of peace. For it is refreshing in the middle of the day to stop and to meditate on one of the mysteries like the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, My Birth at Bethlehem. It will help you to have peace in your hearts. 

I love you so for you are My chosen ones. I have called you here tonight and you will receive great healing graces but you must cooperate with those graces. You must surrender and let go of many of those things that lead you into places in which you do not experience the peace that you desire within your heart.

And it begins with asking for the grace to be so united to Me, to make Me the King and center of your hearts and your life, to not make certain things or people the king and center but to realize that I am the King and in that union your love relationships with others can flourish and become ever deeper.

Oh I love you so My chosen ones. I love you so.
