Messenger:
Dear Jesus,
Help us to be one, as a nation, in our
churches, in our hearts. Satan is division.
There should not be jealousy or possessiveness,
what all should want is the will of God.
People should not punish others for doing
God's will.
If the world is to be the way God wants,
we must try to do His will. He wants us
all to live united in love.
There is so much dysfunction passed on
to us, patterns people have learned at
an early age because of dysfunction in
homes. Satan presses on people to want
to be on the top.
God is the head.
God gave us the earth.
God gave us all that is in it

Cling to Me
May

Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in
you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an
intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide
in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are
steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the
evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every
day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no
power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I
want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have
no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold
tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most
precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My
tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk
with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me,
feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room
for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

Messenger:
Some people grew up in
a house that was
tense they think tension is
normal
where others knew the joy of Christmas
eating a wonderful meal, opening
presents given in love - working
together.
Some only knew tension, unpredictability
disharmony, anger TENSION ALL
THE
TIME
Some of these people grow to be adults and
find the peace of being alone, they
isolate themselves because in youth
they found their own peace in being
away from home and others and
being in control
going to a
place in
their mind where they can have peace
but on an upper layer of their consciousness
they hold a tension
"it is not safe to go home," they think
dad, mom or whoever is the enemy, (they think) they
are unpredictable, (they think) "I can get hollered at,
ridiculed, etc."
So now they may carry these life long patterns
of behavior - when in a group - if
authority is over them they can be hostile
and hating them as an enemy
Some children of alcoholics always have this
tension in their hearts, they are always
working things out
There may be some who achieve the level
of boss and then they will govern
the others with the other side of the
coin, but as long as they are under they
create tension.
Uncle Andrew went to the Christmas party
every year - his focus was love, he spent
weeks wrapping Christmas presents and
toys to make it a time of everyone feeling
special and unwrapping presents.
When Aunt Sue came she created tension.
She criticized in her heart and saw herself
as above everyone. People really
wished she would stay home
because
where everyone was united and loving
when Sue came you could feel the tension
sometimes she went in other rooms and
created more tension.
Jesus speaks: I want unity.
I want oneness in the hearts of My people
in the Mystical Body
do you
carry
bitterness in your hearts, seeds for
division?
I give you My prayer
John 17
The Prayer of Jesus
After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and
said:
Father, the hour has come:
glorify your Son
so that your Son may glorify you;
so that, just as you have given him
power over all humanity,
he may give eternal life
to all those you have entrusted to him.
And eternal life is this:
to know you,
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I have glorified you on earth
by finishing the work
that you gave me to do.
Now, Father, glorify me
with that glory I had with you
before ever the world existed.
I have revealed your name
to those whom you took from the world
to give me.
They were yours
and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
Now at last they have recognised
that all you have given me
comes from you
for I have given them
the teaching you gave to me,
and they have indeed accepted it
and know for certain
that I came from you,
and have believed
that it was you who sent me.
It is for them that I pray.
I am not praying for the world
but for those you have given me,
because they belong to you.
All I have is yours
and all you have is mine,
and in them I am glorified.
I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
keep those you have given me
true to your name,
so that they may be one like us.
While I was with them,
I kept those you had given me
true to your name.
I have watched over them
and not one is lost
except one who was destined to be lost,
and this was to fulfil the scriptures.
But now I am coming to you
and I say these things in the world
to share my joy with them to the full.
I passed your word on to them,
and the world hated them,
because they belong to the world
no more than I belong to the world.
I am not asking you
to remove them from the world,
but to protect them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth;
your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
I have sent them into the world,
and for their sake I consecrate myself
so that they too
may be consecrated in truth.
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.

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."

Jesus speaks: Mary appeared for a decade to deliver
messages for the Shepherds of Christ beginning
July 5, 1994.
July 5, 1994 6:30 p.m. - Excerpt from the Red Rosary Book
I was told to go to Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center to pray the rosary
with my children. There were people in the front of the church, so we
decided to pray the rosary in the back before the Sorrowful Mother statue. I
had the following vision at the end of the rosary.
The statue of the Sorrowful Mother was lit up as if she had fire around
her. The light was very bright. Her whole gown was all-white, but the
statue's gown is blue and pink. She was all aglow. It looked like the glow
that comes off of a fire. Her face kept changing but remained totally
sorrowful-the sorrow of an older woman. She was in such pain and sorrow! (It
was hard to explain how she looked-extremely pained!) Her face looked as
though she was in such pain that she could hardly bear it.
The vision remained like this for about ten minutes, having begun during
the last Hail Mary of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary. She was holding
something-it was all bright white-the brightest light ever!

Messenger: Mary appeared on December 17, 1996 in

rainbow color, she appeared to remind
us of the covenant God made with man and
to tell all these things.
Genesis 9: 12-15
And this, God said, is the sign of the covenant which I now make
between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to
come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the
covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth
and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between
myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and
never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things.

He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

beloved nursing home ones,
And I call you children for you are my children and I am your Mother Mary.
Oh my beloved people of the earth, oh my beloved elderly, I ask you to offer
your days every day whatever
it is that you do that day in trying to do Gods will offer it as a
sacrifice and an offering to God in union with the Mass to help to bring
down grace for the souls of this earth.
(Taken from the video at that moment

Mary speaks: Your
life is so important. There are so many today that are sinning and in need
of healing grace.
In
your suffering at the nursing home think of the souls of the earth that are
crying out because of their pain and how they need to know of Gods love.
Offering up your days in the nursing home and the elderly can make such a
difference to the souls of this earth when you offer your days as a
sacrifice united to the Mass that grace will be released for the souls that
are hurting. I am the Mother of love and I want the children of this earth
to know the love of my Son Jesus. I appear here on this building in
Clearwater and you are given this recording as a special gift to circulate
it and to show it to your friends and others so that all the earth will know
that I am Mary your Mother and I appear here to reach my hurting children of
this earth in need of grace.
I
ask you my elderly to especially offer up your lives for the souls that are
hurting in this world. Your life is so important for the souls of this
earth. My Son Jesus gave His life on the cross for the precious souls and He
has asked me today to ask you to offer up the little things that you do
everyday in trying to do Gods will in union with the Mass that grace will
be released for the souls of this earth. I am Mary your Mother. My children
are hurting and many are dropping into hell like rain. My children will you
help me?
(Taken from the video at that moment

Mary
speaks: Will you hear
the plea of my Son Jesus? For He wants them to know that He loves them so
dearly and He wants them to love Him in return.

Mary
speaks: The prayer has been given to you. It is on a card
and it is a very small prayer. Say it every day and throughout the day to
remind yourself how important your life is when you offer it up in trying to
do Gods will for the souls of this earth. I am Mary your Mother. Will you
hear my cry to you today?
Will
you circulate these videos that my children of the earth will know that I am
Mary and I appear here? These videos are not only for the nursing homes.
They are for all the souls of the earth that they will be able to see me.
I am
Mary your Mother. This is a gift that God the Father has given to this
earth. I have appeared on this building every day for over 6 years. I ask
you to help circulate the pictures of this image that people will know that
I am speaking to them, that my Son Jesus is calling out to the world to obey
the commandments.
My
children God loves you. This is the
love your heart craves. Your time is so short on this earth. Please hear

Words of Jesus. Read before
the Tabernacle.
Jesus speaks: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you
I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is
ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each
precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the
Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My
beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved
children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same
Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.
Do you know I am truly present there? Do
you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you
comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I
love you on earth.
I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to
earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much!
I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be
with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and
whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an
ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I
wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so
much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the
center of your life!
I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am
writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I
have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union
with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world
for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones.
Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My
very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!
I give you your will with such love and I
want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need
that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son
of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I
am God. I have all you ever will need!
Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer
for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very
being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am
Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
Harken to My call, harken to My pleading.
Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me
and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My
beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the
Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Messenger: I long to feel
the oneness with
all, but some people do not
want to be one, they may use manipulation
tactics they do not know, they may
be tired, they may play games for
the sake of playing games, they may
be very private persons that never
get close and set up barriers
to oneness.
God gave Himself despite the
way the people of the human race
was. He loved when they beat Him
and crowned His Head with thorns
rather than a crown He
could have been given.
Man is in the becoming stage
It took the Israelites 40 years to
go through the desert when it should
have taken three weeks. Look at
man 2,000 years after Jesus came
Is joy in the Savior?
Is God recognized as He should be by
the people of the earth?
Is Mary recognized by our priests
as so important in their spiritual
life because she is their spiritual
Mother, Mother of the Church?
Is Mary recognized by her children
as so important in their lives as
their spiritual Mother and Mother of
the Church?
I long for oneness and that Jesus will be
the King and Center of the Hearts of
the people of the earth, but because
of our own imperfections we fall
short, many times in recognizing
our own faults and block oneness
in our own lives.
We can punish others because we have
not truly embraced the fact
joy is in the Savior

down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements?
You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions
but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.
I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man
worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so
independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry
about his present and future.
You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and
like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people
ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every
moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You
hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the
big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you
going?
The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have
the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you
fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis
on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the
moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each
moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your
breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared
world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.
Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop
of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops
together make up your pass into My kingdom.
You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I
take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with
life--one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem
to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people's
lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday's
forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go
of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.
Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of
your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give
service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count
towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you
use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can
snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you
choose to serve Me and spread My love!
If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess.
What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all
the power. Other power is false power!
Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious
here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you
never return to finish what you deemed so important.
Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get
you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate
with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you
constantly. Die to yourself.
You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force
alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul.
Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world.
Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today's moments, yesterday's
forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so
important?
Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up
treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help
others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be
forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a
bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the
moment after you live it.
Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is
not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn't stop
giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you
touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday's
forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love
you gave, from now to the end.
Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that
grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain
your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one
another. Too simple, too hard for many.
Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up
your moments forever lest they become yesterday's forgotten treasure.
Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and
goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love
God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

Dear Ones in Christ,
Peace and Health to you all.
I am happy to assure you all that I have
received the precious books that you have so generously
sent to
us. I have distributed to the priests of ____ diocese
free
of charge. I only ask them to thank you all and offer a
Mass
on every First Friday of the month. The only thing we can
return
you.
I pray to the good Lord to love, bless and
reward you all for your awful charity, generosity and
fraternal
solidarity.
I am a retired bishop now. But I still go
around to see my old and new Catholics. From 18 to 28 of
April,
I went to ____ and ____ borders to baptize and confirm.
The
four priests baptized about 600 persons while I confirmed
about
450 persons. There are many more ___ pagan villages want
to
become Catholics. Please pray for them and for me too.
Thank you.
With prayerful wishes and God bless you
and your wonderful works for the greater glory of God and
salvation of souls.
Yours in our Lord and Lady,
Bishop _________
April 25, 2002
Dear Fr. John,
Thank you very much for your kind letters dated April 7 and 16 last
together with the many enclosures concerning initiatives started by Fr.
Edward J. Carter.
I am pleased to inform you that the devotion to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary is widespread in this Archdiocese, as
also the Divine Mercy devotion. In fact, our Archdiocese has been solemnly
consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on August 15, 1997, Feast of Our
Lady's Assumption and the 50th Anniversary of _____'s independence. This
consecration is renewed every year in all our parishes. I do it officially
in our Cathedral. Besides, all families are encouraged to consecrate
themselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and this year we are going to make
a special drive so that the image of the Sacred Heart can be enthroned in
those homes where it is still not done in our Archdiocese.
It might interest you to know that in the 80 of the 113 parishes in
this Archdiocese, we have daily adoration to the Blessed Sacrament from
early morning till late in the evening. The practice of having all night
adoration in parishes once a month is growing steadily.
I was deeply impressed by the photographs you sent me of the image of
Our Blessed Mother in the Church of Our Lady of Clearwater. It is touching
to note the tender love and concern of our Heavenly Queen.
I recommend the Archdiocese of _____ and my pastoral ministry to your
special prayers. Thank you very much in anticipation. Rest assured of a
regular memento at Holy Mass.
With cordial regards and sincere good wishes, I remain
Yours fraternally in Corde Mariae Cardinal _________
Mary G.
How has being a member of Shepherds of Christ has changed my life?
When I was a baby, we lived next door to a convent and I had 12 years of
Catholic education. I married and lived Cincinnati eventually. After my civil
divorce, my three younger children and I moved back to Price Hill in Cincinnati
where I grew up. This time brought me the Catholic Charismatic experience.
Dad died in '86, and I moved away to a small town. Though I tried, I thought
no Catholic church or prayer group met my needs so I attended Protestant prayer
meetings and services. I found ministers and prayer groups that deeply love the
Lord Jesus, and I would still be in these circles except that I went back to
Cincinnati to visit. I hadn't told my old friends that I was no longer a
practicing Catholic so I joined them when they attended charismatic functions.
At one of these I was given Blue Book I.
Actually, someone tried to give it to me and I wouldn't take it saying, I had
too much to read , so it was given to the friend I was staying with. When we got
home and she was out of the room, I opened the book so I could congratulate
myself for not accepting it.
That's Jesus! Jesus is speaking in this book! I read almost the whole book
that night, then I ate humble pie and phoned the lady who had pressed me to
accept it. I received it in a few days.
Back home I read and reread it. Jesus was speaking loud and clear and I went
to the nearest church and made a confession and resumed my long neglected
practice of daily Mass. I also began to go to the Shepherds of Christ chapter
meetings in Morrow, Ohio, where I heard the call for volunteers to come to the
Virgin Mary Site in Clearwater, Florida.
How well I understand God's words, "Your thoughts are not My
thoughts!".
Changing my thoughts and my ways comes more slowly than changing my address,
which is now Clearwater, Florida.
Though retirement isn't at all what I thought it would be, I wouldn't trade
places with anyone at all.

Jesus Is Crucified and Dies on the Cross
2. Jesus:
I speak and so many do not listen! I am
crying out to you to listen to My voice here, to read My letters for they are
truly letters of love that I give to each one of you. It is in reading these
letters that you will know more and more the immensity of the love that I have
for you. You are My soldiers that I send into the sick world with the medicine
to heal so many hearts. You are the chosen ones I have called here to this
Center. Please, I beg you, take My call seriously, for I am truly Jesus and I
speak to you this day. So many take My plea lightly. I beg! I plead! I ask Rita
to talk more and more about My pleadings. You do not know how I am longing for
you to be so close. How I want you to surrender and let Me operate in your
hearts! You tap ever so lightly when there is an ocean of My love that I want to
give to you. Surrender your hearts and read My letters of love for it is in
these letters that you will know My love more and more.
3. Jesus: I give Myself to you at every Eucharist and you take it so
lightly! Take Me seriously, My children, for I am truly with you with much love!
How it wounds My aching Heart that you do not listen.

The Agony in the Garden
2. Jesus: I am an endless furnace of love. My Heart is beating for each
one of you here. See My Heart as it beats. Think of this beating. Think of the
beating Heart!
3. Jesus: I pour out to you My endless love constantly. I never leave
you. I am forever with you, second by second, minute by minute. I am forever
present with you in this room the same as the day I knelt in the Garden. Be
alone with Me. Empty your mind of any distractions, of any concerns. Be totally
wrapped in the love that I am giving to you. Open your hearts wide and let Me
unite ever so closely within your heart. I am Jesus, your most ardent Lover, on
fire for love of you, My beloved ones. As I knelt in the Garden, I pondered the
ways of your heart. My Heart ached for all the souls that would treat Me with
such indifference and neglect. Comfort My aching Heart with your love for Me.
5. Jesus: I call out to you to take My plea seriously. My plea involves
the salvation of souls. Open your hearts and let Me unite closely to you so that
I can live in you. Through you I will touch My beloved ones that I love so
dearly. How I love you this day, My precious ones. Be alone with Me, totally
wrapped in My embrace. I am Jesus, your Savior, and I love you with the deepest,
tenderest love. I pour My love out to you. Harken to Me. Let go!

May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father
My Father,
With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being
for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I
pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy
Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.
It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to
the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of
glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.
My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all
eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it
trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that
we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in
our image and likeness to God.
And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In
the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the
Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union
with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the
souls in Purgatory.
I beg You Father for mercy.
I beg You Father for assistance.
I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends
of the earth.
Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our
Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation
of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present
in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation
to You for the sins of men.
Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of
Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred
Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in
the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved
Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us
whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the
name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and
saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions
concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these
prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry
as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good
Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as
intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving,
honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.
We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from
the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia
end of prayer to the Father
Sing: Take Lord Receive
TAKE, LORD, AND RECEIVE
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to
me. To Thee, O Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly
according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is
sufficient for me.
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate
my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and
only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty
vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only
for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to
myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will
of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You
operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against
the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself.
Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my
heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I
love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Jesus speaks: Live the Consecration
Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
"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!
"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."

Messenger: My dear friends
Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church.
On December 5, 1996 -
8 years ago Jesus appeared
to me at the point of death His
mouth moving, He was in excruciating
pain, I cried and could hardly stand
it.
From a previous daily message:
I saw Him at the point of death on the cross
December 5, 1996, after Mary appeared 500 times.
He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth
moved very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not
move His mouth to that extent.
Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and
said: "No one was listening."
end of excerpt
Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me

He was smiling and His
mouth moved and moved and moved.
He looked happy and the vision was
all aglow. He gave me a message to sit
in the first pew and He appeared
and talked about 20 minutes, He
was smiling.
May God bless
you in this
most beautiful season.
