Dear Rev. _____

        I am not sure if you are a priest or a layman, but for safety's
sake I addressing you as Rev. _____

        It is my task to expose the Blessed Sacrament every afternoon
for adoration in the St. _____ Cathedral, so I spend at least half
an hour in adoration every weekday quite regularly. I do not know
if this entitles me to obtain membership of the Apostles of the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, but that is not necessary.

        On Sundays, we do not expose the Blessed Sacrament, as there
are 5 regular Masses, and as a priest I myself have about three Masses
each Sunday. If I get time, I make my meditation in the afternoon in
the private Chapel.

        Some other Parishes too have regular adoration in their
churches, and I will ask them if they wish to be enrolled as Apostles
of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

                                With kind regards,

                                                Yours sincerely in Christ,

It came to my attention recently some issues of the above Newsletter that I consider quite helpful for our priests. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could send us a copy for each of the priests in the Diocese, we are 25. I understand they are distributed free of charge.

In order to avoid the cost of postage you could send them by surface and in one parcel addressed to:

Dear John,

I thank you for sending me regularly the priestly Newsletter "Shepherds of
Christ" which I find very inspiring. God bless you for this ministry and make
it ever more fruitful.

As the Newsletter is in English a good number of my priests find it difficult to
grasp it properly. Hence please send hereafter just one copy of the
Newsletter. I shall try to get it translated into the mother tongue and distribute
among the priests.

Thanking you for your attention in this regard and assuring you of my prayers,

Yours sincerely in our Lord

Dear Mr. Weickert,

 
This is a very belated acknowledgement of your letter dated July 18, 2001.  When it arrived here I was on leave in my native country, ______.  When I came back to South Africa, two days after the 11th September tragedy, it took time to catch up with matters.
 
I was sad to learn from your letter about the death of Father Edward Carter.  May his soul rest in peace with the Lord. 
 
Since the arrival of your letter we have also received the 2nd issue of the Shepherds of Christ Newsletter, together with a large consignment of Prayer Manuals for the Shepherds of Christ Associates. 
 
 As usual, the Newsletter will go to all priests and houses of religious in our diocese. 
 
As regards the prayer manuals, I will discuss with our diocesan vocations co-ordinator the possibility of bringing together the idea of your movement's prayer chapters with our effort to establish the Living Rosary.  The aim of the latter is prayer for vocations and for seminarians and priests.
 
Many of our people are still only semi literate, but they have a great love for the Church and realize that the times when they could rely on getting priests from elsewhere are gone.
 
May the Lord bless your wonderful work!
 
Wishing you a fruitful Advent and holy Christmas,
 
Sincerely yours in the Lord,     + _______, Bishop of ______, S. Africa

                   Let me start this letter wishing you a Very Happy New Year with all its blessings of peace, joy and happiness and success. May God bless you.

     I received the Shepherds of Christ - Issue 4, 2000 only yesterday. I have not gone through it. I hope that you get enough and more funds to continue. My special prayers for you for this purpose. It is a surprise for me to know that you print in Spanish and are going to do it also in French. I cannot but admire your courage and hard work.

Congratulations. You will have enough funds. No good work will suffer by lack of funds. That's my experience.

     How are you? Please keep up your health and joy.

     I came back to Cuddapah and remain at my old address given above. Neck pain affects me to sit and work. Otherwise I keep well and happy.

     Once more I congratulate you and wish you every success.  Please pray for me. My love to all those there.

With much love, wishes, prayers and blessings.

1998 - ISSUE TWO

Dear Fr. Carter,
    I would like to thank you for the first issue of l998 of Shepherds of Christ which you have sent me.
    I have found your newsletter thought-provoking and spiritually enriching. I have handed four of the five copies you sent me to the two Rectors of our Minor and Philosophy seminaries, to the priest in contact with our young priests and with vocations, and to our cloister at Carmel. I am sure that they will appreciate it as much as I do.
    I shall be grateful if you could send me 75 copies. You can be sure they will be read avidly and greatly appreciated. Also, I shall be extremely grateful if you send me 3 copies of the first l2 letters that have appeared in book form.
    Congratulations on this excellent apostolate. Keep up the good work you are doing. May Mary, our blessed Mother, bless this spiritual apostolate of yours. I have appreciated very much the quotations you put from Fr. Angelo Amato, S.D.B. and from Cardinal Newman regarding our blessed Mother.

Thanking you once again,

1998 - ISSUE TWO

Dear Father,
    I have been asked by His Excellency Bishop Frances Gerard Brooks, D.D., to thank you for your recent letter.
    At a recent diocesan conference our bishop informed the priests of the diocese of your recent letter and provided for their perusal the samples of your newsletter. The response was very positive, with many priests indicating a desire to receive your newsletter on a regular basis.
    His Excellency has asked me to confirm with you the possibility of ordering 60 copies of your newsletter. This will allow for a copy to be given to every priest, deacon and seminarian of the diocese. It will also facilitate "sample" copies to be distributed further afield.

1998 - ISSUE FOUR

Dear Father,
This date two copies of your Catholic newsletter reached my desk. I put other mail aside and read your publication.

It sold itself. Therefore I would ask for 60 copies that can be spread among our priests, brothers, sisters, deacons and catechists.

I am sure they will appreciate what you send.

Blessings and best wishes.

Dear Fr. Edward:
Thank you for the Shepherds of Christ Newsletter. You are putting in the hands of our priests timely materials for spiritual reading and for allocutions and homilies. I myself will find this helpful for my apostolate of giving recollections and retreats to seminarians and priests.

I will be glad to have 60 copies of each issue of the Newsletter starting with the forthcoming newsletter.

Permit me to extend to you and your companions in the apostolate my appreciation and gratitude for extending your help to your fellow priests in the ministry.

God bless you.
Sincerely yours,

1998 - ISSUE FIVE

Dear Father,
Yesterday I received your letters and the book, Spirituality Newsletters.

I am delighted because there is so much material coming on to my desk it is well-nigh impossible to read much of it. However, your gift looks to me as if it will fill a great need for us here. We simply do not have the time to read a great deal and have often thought it would be a great thing if one of us could digest a great deal of the writings we receive, summarize them and send them to the rest of us. However, that too is quite impractical we find. And I rather think that what you have sent is the very thing we need, and because it is on spirituality it will be the greatest help and inspiration. I have to tell you that all the priests here are great workers, and all of them work long hours manually in travel by boat, in caring for light plants, boat engines, buildings, etc., just to support their stations, (most on pretty lonely islands) so that they have little money to buy good books, and little time to read them if they get them. What you have sent seems to really fill a bill for us. It seems at first sight to be the essence of the great need we have, for the development of the priest himself in spirituality.

Thank you very much indeed. I am really grateful.

Yours very sincerely and fraternally in Our Lord

Dear Fr. Carter,
I am writing to ask you to please send me ten copies of the Spiritual Newsletter for Priests, Shepherds of Christ, and a copy of the book which includes the first 12 issues of your newsletter.

I have received two issues of 1998, and I have found them very useful to enhance our priestly on-going formation, and I wish to give one to my nine diocesan priests and keep one for myself.

Warmest Greetings to you from Plentong, Malaysia.

I write to thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness in sending us several copies of your "Spirituality Newsletter for Priests". We have received Issues One & Two, 1999.

There is no doubt that our priests will benefit from the articles of your Newsletter and hopefully they will inspire and encourage them to seek holiness in their pastoral work.

Dear Fr. Carter,
I received the parcel you so kindly sent me. Thank you for the book "Shepherds of Christ" and the set of audio cassettes.

May I request of you this favour. There are more than 100 priests in the dioceses of Cuddapah and also Kurnool where I served as Apostolic Administrator for three years. They love me also and visit me when they come this side. I want to give them all the book, "Shepherds of Christ" and ask them to study and meditate on it.

I admire this great work that you are doing for the priestly holiness. The holiness of the Church depends on the holiness of its priests. It is a great pity that many fail to be "Christ". Only prayer and love can bring them around. My congratulations to you once again. With love and blessings,

2000 - ISSUE TWO

Dear and Rev. Edward,
Loving and cordial greetings to you from Most Rev. G. Johannes, Bishop of Kurnool.

I am glad to learn that you are publishing a magazine by name Shepherds of Christ. Recently, I was given some magazines to be distributed to our priests by Most Rev. Bishop S. A. Aruliah of Cuddapah and the magazines are very good and worth reading.

As the magazines are useful to our priests, I would like to get them for our priests too. Presently there are 70 priests in our diocese and distribution of these magazines to our priests will surely help their spiritual life. As your magazine covers so may theological, pastoral themes, it helps our priests in their pastoral life.

Hence, I request you to send at least 70 Shepherds of Christ magazines to us so that we may distribute to our priests. I also request you to send some audio-video tapes which can help our priests pastorally.

With Blessings,

GORANTLA Johannes D. D.
Bishop of Kurnool, India

  


  

2000 - ISSUE THREE

Dear Fr. Carter,
I have been reading the newsletter book Shepherds of Christ meditatively since it came. All the articles are deep theology and spirituality. If only priests read it properly and prayerfully, a change towards Christ cannot but come. All my Diocesan priests got the book and are reading it. I have sent a few copies to the seminary rector in South India whom I know, asking him to read it and also order the newsletter. I am sure they will profit by it.

18, 2000. He founded the Shepherds of Christ Movement and published the

quarterly magazine of which I and my priests are the regular receivers and readers.

While I am mourning his death, I am also praying for the repose of his soul. May

the merciful and loving Lord grant him eternal rest for the good he contributed to

many priests through his service.

Please continue to do so.

        Greetings and Blessings in the Lord Jesus.

        I received Shepherds of Christ Magazine, No 2, 2001 issue
safely. I thank you sincerely for it. May God bless your ministry for priests. I sent that together to all priests and convents.
I am sure that they profit by the beautiful articles especially the
long articles Sacraments and Mass. It is deep, clear and concise.
Thank you.

        May I request you a favour. Can you send me a few of
the best books of Carter on spiritual life. I asked him for these
two years back. But he died without answering my letter. 
Thank you. I am a retired bishop with some time to read. I
would like to read only such books to prepare myself to heaven.

        I know the wonderful work you are doing in publishing
and sending this magazine. I am sure you will not need funds.
God sees to his work.

        All my sympathy to U.S.A. I pray that will help it to
recover. All for good - materialism and too much confidence
on oneself must die.

Messenger:         Jesus means everything to me.

                            In the quiet moments by a little brook we seem we
                                can hear the voice of God speak to us in our
                                hearts, but do we hear Him in the noisy
                                gathering of our family and friends at Christmas.

Jesus speaks:      My child, I am with you always and you look for
                                the solitude to intimately share yourself
                                with Me, but I send you such gifts in
                                that gathering.
                                I am in the little baby that you hold.
                                I am in your daughter you love so deeply
                                and in your son.
                                Look for My presence with you always.
                                When you care for the child, you care for Me.
                                It isn't like they are there and I am
                                    at Church only.
                                My child I want you to love so very deeply.
                                Love your God with all your heart and all
                                    your soul and all your being.
                                Love your brothers.
                                Love every person so deeply.

                            See Me in their eyes.
                            See the God that created them so uniquely
                                special.

                            What you do to others, you do to Me.

                            I come in those ordinary moments of your life.
                            You are My Light in the darkness.

                            What you do to others you do to Me.

                            Oh so many short years and then it is over
                                and your reward awaits you.

                            Oh my child stay so rooted in Me.

                            I am your beloved Spouse, I love the souls.
                                I gave My life that all would be saved.

                            Today I have given the world-YOU-my precious
                                spouse. You take care of the children.
                                You live to serve Me.

    


  

John  15: 1-7

The true vine

I am the true vine, 
and my Father is the vinedresser. 
Every branch in me that bears no fruit 
he cuts away, 
and every branch that does bear fruit 
    he prunes 
to make it bear even more. 
You are clean already, 
by means of the word 
    that I have spoken to you. 
Remain in me, as I in you. 
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, 
unless it remains part of the vine, 
neither can you unless you remain in me. 
I am the vine, 
you are the branches. 
Whoever remains in me, with me in him, 
bears fruit in plenty; 
for cut off from me you can do nothing. 
Anyone who does not remain in me 
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers; 
these branches are collected 
    and thrown on the fire 
and are burnt. 
If you remain in me 
and my words remain in you, 
you may ask for whatever you please 
and you will get it.

  


  

December 22, 2001 message continues

Messenger:         Mary is our Mother.
                            She appears and asks us to mother the children.

                            My rosaries I pray every day are a big part of my
                                day. I live the mysteries in the rosary.

                            When I get behind some, I try to make them up.
                                Many times the demands of life can take us
                                from our daily prayers that are so important.

                                At this time of year, we may wish to spend more
                                    time praying with our family and
                                    meditating on Christmas and the Christ
                                    child and our families may be more into
                                    the buying of gifts and fixing "butterscotch
                                    pudding."

                                This is a season of love.
                                Mary appears to tell us to love one another.
                                If our focus is on getting the job done to
                                    have the work out of the way, we have
                                    lost the purpose of this season if we
                                    are unloving in the process.
                                God is love and in Him there is no darkness.

                             We cannot know everything about everything.

                             We must learn to surrender.
                            Our lives are lived to love and serve God.
                            God may ask us to serve Him by giving
                                ourselves to others today.
                            Our focus is to love God with all our hearts,
                                all our soul and all our being and
                                love each other as ourselves.

Jesus speaks:      Oh my child, do not worry.
                            See the little baby in the manger.
                            Look into the eyes of those you love and see
                                Me in them.
                            You do the things you do for them for Me.

                            This is not to say that you do not tend to your
                                prayers. This is to say, you must pray
                                to do God's will.
                                Live in the moment.
                                Now is the time to love and serve Me in
                                    that moment.
                                Pray constantly.
                                Rely on My Might.

                                 Have that deep connection to Me at every
                                    moment.
                                I am one with you.

    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:             This entry Jesus wanted in Blue Book I sets the tone
                                    for the rest of the Blue Books.

                            Today is the anniversary of Father Carter's funeral Mass.
                                It was a beautiful day, the lay out and the funeral.
                                We all prayed so long in St. Xavier Church.

Messenger:             We were there as a body praying, united to our
                                    founder for the priests, the Church and
                                    the world.

Messenger:            Jesus told me to speak at the grave the next day.
                                    He said that we should stay united in this
                                    mission of giving our lives to help lead
                                    the souls to Him.

  

    

December 22, 2001 message continues

Messenger:            I wish I had the exact words. But he
                                    said He united our hearts in a special
                                    way that day and we should keep this
                                    as our focus, united as a body for the
                                    rest of our lives.

                                Fr. Carter always said our hearts are merged.

Messenger:             How many times I have prayed there at 
                                    the grave site.
                                I made part of my retreat there, doing
                                    the meditations there at Fr. Carter's
                                    grave.

  

  

December 22, 2001 message continues

Messenger:            I felt that spiritual direction he gave me all
                                    those years when he made his retreat
                                    with the Spiritual Exercises and I
                                    made my retreat at the same time,
                                    going to him for guidance.

                                He helped me, He taught us all through his
                                    writings and his guidance.

                                Now the whole Shepherds of Christ Movement
                                    operates the way he set down through his
                                    directions from Jesus in his 
                                    messages and in the ones I received.

  


   

Revelation Chapter 11

The two witnesses

Then I was given a long cane like a measuring rod, and I was told, ‘Get up and measure God’s sanctuary, and the altar, and the people who worship there; but exclude the outer court and do not measure it, because it has been handed over to gentiles—they will trample on the holy city for forty–two months. But I shall send my two witnesses to prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamps in attendance on the Lord of the world. Fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies if anyone tries to harm them; and anyone who tries to harm them will certainly be killed in this way. They have the power to lock up the sky so that it does not rain as long as they are prophesying; they have the power to turn water into blood and strike the whole world with any plague as often as they like. When they have completed their witnessing, the beast that comes out of the Abyss is going to make war on them and overcome them and kill them. Their corpses lie in the main street of the great city known by the symbolic names Sodom and Egypt, in which their Lord was crucified. People of every race, tribe, language and nation stare at their corpses, for three–and–a–half days, not letting them be buried, and the people of the world are glad about it and celebrate the event by giving presents to each other, because these two prophets have been a plague to the people of the world.’
    After the three–and–a–half days, God breathed life into them and they stood up on their feet, and everybody who saw it happen was terrified; then I heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, ‘Come up here,’ and while their enemies were watching, they went up to heaven in a cloud. Immediately, there was a violent earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand persons were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors, overcome with fear, could only praise the God of heaven.
    That was the second of the disasters; the third is to come quickly after it.
 

The seventh trumpet

Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and voices could be heard shouting in heaven, calling, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ The twenty–four elders, enthroned in the presence of God, prostrated themselves and touched the ground with their foreheads worshipping God with these words, ‘We give thanks to you, Almighty Lord God, He who is, He who was, for assuming your great power and beginning your reign. The nations were in uproar and now the time has come for your retribution, and for the dead to be judged, and for your servants the prophets, for the saints and for those who fear your name, small and great alike, to be rewarded. The time has come to destroy those who are destroying the earth.’
    Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened, and the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake and violent hail.

Messenger:             Jesus told us to read two scripture quotes

   


     

Genesis Chapter 3

The Fall

    Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'

Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this,

    Accursed be you
    of all animals wild and tame!
    On your belly you will go
    and on dust you will feed
    as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.'

    To the woman he said:

    I shall give you intense pain
        in childbearing,
    you will give birth to your children
        in pain.
    Your yearning will be for your husband,
    and he will dominate you.

To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

    Accursed be the soil because of you!
    Painfully will you get your food from it
    as long as you live.
    It will yield you brambles and thistles,
    as you eat the produce of the land.
    By the sweat of your face
    will you earn you food,
    until you return to the ground,
    as you were taken from it.
    For dust you are
    and to dust you shall return.

The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

See the Big Picture

Jesus speaks: To all My dearest beloved ones at the Center and in the Shepherds of Christ:

    You do not see the big picture. You do not see how your job is so important to My plan. Do you see your confusion? The devil presses in. He tells you how everything is hard and you are working so hard and not seeing any results. He tells you that you have not done enough. Oh, little loved ones, you are involved in the renewal of My Church. You see with such limited vision! I am using Shepherds of Christ to renew My Church throughout this world. I am lighting My world with the love that is being radiated in the many hearts that are coming to the Center and the Farm. You see, minute-by-minute, day-by-day, your frustrations and problems.

    I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I write these intense love letters of My love for this world. You see only your little daily frustrations. You are so important to spreading My love! I am giving you messages for all My beloved souls of this world. My (Shepherds of Christ priestly) Newsletter will enkindle in priests the fire of My love. I will light this world with My light through you.

    Oh, little loved ones, see the big picture. Pray for grace to know and love Me more. It is by your love of God that you will carry out My plan with ease.

    You see little details. I call you to prayer. I call you to sacrifice. I call you to love and purity in your heart. I call you to union with Jesus and Mary. I call you to consecration of your heart to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I call you to live in the Spirit, to pray to the Spirit, to be alive with His fire, to be transformed into My great soldiers of love, so that your hearts will be on fire with the most burning love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    I call you to vision. I call you to doing the will of My Father, to saying "yes" as Mary said "yes" to the angel, total compliance with His will!

    I call you to time spent alone with Me in front of the tabernacle and after Communion.

    Oh, My beloved children, you are blind. You do not see that this is My world. The reality is that your every breath depends on Me. I am here. I am in your midst this day, no less present than the day Mary carried Me in her womb, no less present than the day I died on the cross. Open your eyes and see the love I am pouring out to you.

    This (Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center) is My Mother's house. I write these letters to you from her house in Norwood. I am alone many times in My tabernacle here. You cannot light this world on your own. You need to pray for the grace to grow in love of Me.

    I write these letters of My intense love to My precious souls. I want these letters to circulate. The lives of Myself and My Mother will become more and more alive to you as you read these letters. Pray the rosary with these meditations. I am begging you to listen to Me.

    I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have written five books of My intense love. I have given you such insights into My suffering and My Mother's suffering. It is through the rosary and these letters that the love of God will grow more and more in men's hearts. I beg you to take Me seriously. I love, I love, I love. I write songs of My love. I want these songs recorded.

    I am an open furnace of endless love, on fire for My beloved souls. I write, I write, I write of this love. You do not take Me seriously!

    Your city will shine with the love of Jesus in the hearts of those who go to the Center when you promote these letters. To hold these letters back from My beloved souls wounds My Heart. I wait. I long. I thirst for the love of My beloved souls. I write five books of love letters. I beg you, all of you involved in circulating and publishing these letters, to do so. Your churches will radiate with My love when you circulate these letters.

    My Heart is on fire for love of you. I beg you this day to listen to Me. I am Jesus. I write of My ardent love for you and I am taken so lightly! Please circulate and read these messages! Please support these letters! What more must I do to tell you? What more do you want? I write five books of My love. I teach you the rosary to help Our lives live in you. The rosary is so important to the hearts of those who go to the Center and the members of Shepherds of Christ. The rosary and its mysteries must live in the lives of those who pray them. My renewal will come from the two Hearts. Listen to Me. Please circulate these letters and rosary meditations. They will lead many hearts to My love and the love of Mary.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

You Are Raising Your Children Without God

God's Blue Book I Cover

December 22, 1993 - 5:00 a.m.

Jesus speaks:  This is the day of the Lord. Slowly approaches My day, My birth. I am Jesus, Your Savior. I come as a little baby to save a big world. How could such a little one save a world and all those to come? This little one, My child, is God-made-man of Mary, just a baby coming in such silence, yet He comes with the might to save the world from its sin. He comes into a little stable and He comes without any proclamations from mankind. The beasts surround Him, the King of Glory. His court is made up of cows and sheep and His bed is dirty hay. Oh, how we await the birth of a baby. Everyone is eager to know of His arrival. All is ready, yet Mary does not have a place to lay her child. There is not room for them except with the beasts of the stable. Did Mary know that Jesus would be born in such poverty? She has said "yes" to all the events that are to happen. This is her firstborn baby and there is not a place for them.

Messenger: What things we are so eager to surround ourselves with and God is born in such poverty under the eyes of animals! The choirs of angels sing, but the world is numb to the event. Is this not how it is 2000 years later? It is Christmas Saturday, yet where are the statues and the stables remembering Christ's birth? Can you find any remembrances in stores? They are too busy. You cannot go and pay except for waiting in line at the money counter, a line to buy treasures, while the Son of Man waits in tabernacles all over the world and who comes?

    Is the world today so blind that its people call this Day Christmas, but who is talking about Christ? Little snowmen, reindeer, Santa Claus, little sleds, red and green, and bells and holly. Should not every little detail be tended to? The family is all prepared. Gifts are wrapped to perfection yet where is the baby? Is a picture of Christ on any paper or magazine? He, the King of Glory, sits alone in every church while people wait in line with batteries and cards and wrap. How long do they wait in that line? Does it matter? Christmas is the most important event of the year to them and every detail must be tended to.

Jesus speaks: Wake up, America. How you are fixed on such foolishness! Ribbons and bows and wreaths adorn the house from the top to the bottom, inside and outside. Sound the trumpet! But the Son of Man waits in churches all over by Himself and the busier they become, the more the faithful ones rush too.

    I am Christmas. It is My Birthday. The Son of Man waits in a tabernacle. There are no trumpets. There is not a line. He is alone! What is the first Commandment? "I am the Lord, thy God. Thou shalt not have any gods before Me." America, you have so many gods, but the true God is ignored!

    My heart aches at the blindness of My children. Every detail, indeed, is tended to but the details of the heart. Adorn the body, adorn the house, decorate the trees and lights and play the music. Music to Rudolf, music to the snowmen, music to Santa, but some will not even sing a song to Christ the King. What do they think the words to Silent Night mean?

    The adoration pleases Me. This is My birthday. Who will even come to Me? Very few even know what Christmas is about. Does Christ reign in their hearts or do other gods? Who will you worship this Christmas, Christ the Savior or some other god? I wait, My children, just as I do every moment of every day. I never leave. I wait for you. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. Please come and make in your hearts a place for Me. I want to come into your hearts and dwell there. Open wide to the King of Kings. Take the blinders off your eyes. Let Me in. Your hearts have turned to stone and your bodies are numb. What has happened to My beautiful ones?

Messenger: Think of a baby, so bright, so beautiful, so alive! His face reflects the courts of heaven. His eyes are beauty in themselves! Then look at the eyes of my children 20 years later! Look at the mall-how people dress and how they act. This 20-year old at the mall is reflecting your world! Is it not the same beautiful baby that was born? But look at people standing around-looking, for what? Is there anything at the mall to feed a soul? Look how big they are, these malls! Now they have two floors. You get lost! Is there anything of God at the mall? Do you feed your face, America, on every corner, but leave your soul withering and shriveled up!

Jesus speaks: This 20-year old is the child created by My Father to know, love and serve God, but, America, what did you teach him, when he was that little baby, about God? How was he to learn when you yourselves put God on a back burner or have no room for Him at all. You made this child at the mall. God made the baby. God gave you this baby with eyes still on heaven and you wiped the sparkle from his eyes and piped in your world. If he was fed on God and the things of heaven, if his heart was nurtured and cared for, he would still have sparkling eyes, the eyes reflect the heart within. You have taught him your ways, America. His eyes are not like those of babies. How can he look to heaven when you, yourself, know nothing about heaven? Take a baby young and give it what are the true treasures. Tell it about God. Make the Bible the book that is read and found on every table and by every bed.

    America, you are missing it. You are raising children without a God. To be created to know, love and serve God, but not be taught anything about God! You, America, are responsible for taking the sparkling eyes and making them dull and changing his heart to stone. You, America are responsible for the stalking soul that goes about in such unrest, but has no training of God and no example from which to learn about God. You, America, have taken a beautiful child and made him into a bundle of unrest, nervous energy, jumpy looks, wild music. What do you feed this stalking soul? Is it sex? Is it self-indulgence. Is it drink? You gave it nothing of what it was created for and it has no source to obtain it. Children are given such unrest in their world: self-indulgent games, music, drink, magazines. And the soul lives on unattended! Such unrest stalks the young heart with no clue about how to be saved.

    America, this is your child. How can he be saved? You kept him from the things of God and now he walks the malls searching with hollow eyes and a heart yearning to find that which he craves. Children are thirsty for Me. They are driven by their souls to know Me. America, what do you teach them? You are feeding them garbage and they are sick from it. A daily diet of garbage, of filth! You give them a handful of dirt for food! What would your body do if you fed it dirt? Oh, how you are hurting your loved ones, your little children. They come with a guardian angel they never know. They never even hear the word of God or, if they do, it is taught as a far-off thing in the distance. You will reach God as He is alive in your own hearts. You, America, have borne the children. You took innocent babies and slaughtered some. Then, to those who survived, you fed a daily dose of garbage!

    But how could you give them anything but a hardened heart when yours was frozen in your very chest. You cannot teach what you do not know. These messages, America, are your answers. Read them to your young. Tell them about Jesus. My words are not hard to understand. You do not need much education. A second-grader could understand My messages here. What they need from you you can explain.

    Where is the family circle of prayer? Where are our pictures on your walls? Where is My crucifix, by which you are saved? To My death I love each one of you, yet you do not know that My death and resurrection is of any account in your life.

    This is not your life here. Your life will go on and on after your body goes. This is your test, America. You have made the test the finished product and you do not even take the test. It has become an end in itself. None of this matters here-all this materialism. I am so sad in My heart for My little ones being raised in this culture. Some homes do not even have a Bible or a crucifix.

    Spread My word, My children. Teach your little ones about God. Spend time in prayer and tell your sick brothers about God. Tell them to read the Bible and pray to the Holy Spirit. He has the wisdom their souls crave. He gives gifts to those who ask. I am ready to shower you with My graces and lead you back myself. Plant the seeds. How can anything germinate if the seed was not planted. You are My sowers in a starving world. Plant the seeds to your brothers. Tell children about God. Their minds are so open. Get them young. Tell children in your family, your seed may save their soul. Tell them about My love. Don't miss any opportunity. Your reward will be great in heaven for all the seeds you sow!

    Tell little ones wherever you are that Jesus is Lord and He is a God of Love. Tell children about their souls. They need to care for them and feed them. Tell them to fill themselves with good, not evil. Give them Bibles. There are children's Bibles. These plant seeds that will live in their hearts. They are My children and I love them. I need you to plant the seeds. I will provide water and sunlight. I will talk in their hearts and they will listen if you plant the seeds.

    Have prayer groups for children. What a way to spread the faith! They do not see other children praying so they do not pray. I will attend those prayer groups and work in their hearts there. My power is mighty, but I cannot work in a barren desert. You must be constantly sowing seeds. Spend money on Bibles and give them to children. Give them little books about God. Tell them of My love. There is a magic in the book about God you give to a child. I will make it come alive in its life. But you must give the book. If you have any opportunity, tell children about Me and how I love them and I am by their side with such love and care for them. You can do so much for the children by doing so little. My magic will work on the little seeds you plant.

    Have a light heart and ask for guidance. Submit yourselves to Me so I can reach your brothers through you! Look at how many souls you touch each day. Sow seeds of life in their hearts. They will not turn you off. They are thirsty. Give them the messages I write here. Give them the Blue Book. They will turn their hearts to God. I will work on them as they read. They will receive life from this book, life in their souls. Alleluia.

    I am the son of God and I come into your midst as a baby, mighty and powerful, but little and helpless. I come to you in Communion. I am God. My power shines on your soul there. Do not go a day without receiving Me. If your children are sick, teach them to make a Spiritual Communion. The power of the Eucharist is the most powerful.

    Don't miss the opportunity to go to Communion every day. Make spiritual communions throughout the day. I long to be united to you. Beg for this union. In moments of silence, come and sit with Me. At home, make a Spiritual Communion and sit with Me there for short periods of silence. I will come to you and dwell in your hearts. I yearn to be alone with you and share My love. If you have 5 to 10 minutes at home, come to Me. You will have a new energy and peace. I give you what you need. Be alone with Me and sit. Don't be anxious. Just be patient and not busy. Sit still. Let Me work in your heart. Do not expect any concrete results. I give you what you need and you do not need to feel anything. Make your life a time to deepen your union with Me. The Ultimate Work of your Heart is to be united to Me. I work. You sit in silence and in submission. You become selfless and unattached. Transcend your body and be with Me in the soul. Sit now in silence. Don't be busy. Let yourself go in a Spiritual Communion. Ask Jesus to come into your heart now. You are too hard. Be like jello, let go. Let go of everything. I will work on all that. Leave it behind and be with Me, alone.

December 22, 2001 message continues

Messenger:            It is three days before Christmas.
                                The focus is on love.
                                Our Lord picked this day to have Fr. Carter's
                                    funeral.
                                Fr. Carter was home with Jesus on Christmas
                                    last year.
                                Our time here is so short.

                                We can see ourselves here on the earth and
                                    then see all the souls we touch.

                                Look at all the souls Fr. Carter touched by
                                    sending the Newsletter to 75,000
                                    priests for six years.

                                Look at all the children that have been
                                    affected by His work.

                                I remember Fr. Carter always telling me,
                                    Rita, the century ends at the
                                    end of the year 2000.

                                I didn't know he wouldn't be here with
                                    us.

                                He died in those last days of the 20th century
                                    and he wrote for Jesus the last
                                    33 years of the 20th century.

                                We received the building on the last working
                                    day of the second millennium.

                                Fr. Carter leaves behind so many children.

                                Every priest can touch so many lives.
                                God gives to priests special graces.

                                What a gift to be called to the priesthood
                                    or religious life.

Messenger:            Religious have lots of children.
                               They are the very special spouse of Christ.

                                Religious should pray especially at
                                    Christmas for the children of the earth.

                                While so many are working with their
                                    families at Christmas, Religious
                                    should be praying for the Church.
                                    Religious should pray for the human
                                    family.

                                Christmas is an important season.
                                With the end of advent we open up
                                    our hearts with the greatest
                                    joy that the Christ child was
                                    born in a stable in Bethlehem,
                                    the Savior of the World.

                                Song: Song from Jesus

Jesus speaks:         I ask you to sing this song for My Birthday.

                                I love you, so very much.

                                I am Jesus your Savior.

    

    

December 22, 2001 message continues

Jesus speaks:          I give you this song to sing.
                                I ask you to sing this song to me with
                                    your heart filled with love.

                                "I love you Jesus"

Jesus speaks:         I ask you to clap and sing when you
                                    sing the Rosary song, cheer
                                    and be happy to pray the rosary.

                                I ask you to put Little Child here
                                                        God's Love
                                                        Your Presence Pervades My Soul

Jesus speaks:         Circulate the tapes of My Songs.
                                Sing them to your children.
                                Sing them to honor Me.
                                Print Song Books and circulate.

                                I love you so much.

                                I want My servants and handmaids to sing
                                    these songs this Christmas and every
                                    Christmas.

                                Sing these songs at the site in Florida.
                               Circulate Song Books and tapes to
                                    those who come.

                                I love you, so much.
                                    I am your beloved Jesus

                                I am your King
                               Fr. Carter is with me in heaven.
                               He intercedes at the throne of God.

                                This Christmas, give me a special gift
                                    help Me to spread My Priestly
                                    Newsletter to the world.

                                Help by praying the prayers I
                                    give you.

                                        of all places on the earth.

                                    MOVEMENT I HAVE GIVEN YOU.

Luke 2: 8-20

In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words:

  Glory to God in the highest heaven, 
  and on earth peace for those he favours.

    Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go to Bethlehem and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.’ So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

Jesus speaks:         On January 1, 2002 I want you to
                                    honor My Mother in a
                                    special way.
                                She is the Mother of God.
                                She is your Mother.

  


  

John 19: 25-27

Jesus and his mother

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
