                            Yesterday I saw Jesus all through the Mass in the
                        priest celebrating the Mass. The Centers were
                        praying at the same time united to the Mass.
                        It was so very powerful.

                            When I get to Mass, I just feel so deeply
                        united to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and
                        all the angels and saints. I want to be united
                        so deeply to all those in the Body of Christ,
                        being so united to all at that Mass and the whole world.

Messenger:         I am just in awe of the great event
                        taking place. I love to look at the bread
                        and wine before the consecration and watch the priest during
                        the consecration. I feel so deeply connected
                        to God in those moments during the
                        consecration and so united to all the
                        souls of the earth.

Messenger:         I long to go to Mass and when I am there
                        it seems that no distraction could take
                        me from the deep participation I desire
                        in the event at hand.

                            I feel an overwhelming love for God,
                        all Three Persons, I cannot explain.
                        I must constantly be telling God of my
                        love. It is truly my love affair with
                        my Beloved God.

                            I long to hear the words of the scripture.
                        They truly feed my soul and I anxiously
                        await the reception of the Eucharist. It
                        seems many times lately when I attend
                        Mass they have not distributed the Precious
                        Blood in the cup to the people.

                            When I do go to Mass and am able to
                        receive the Blood in the cup I am most
                        grateful.

                            I just want the Eucharist so much. I
                        treasure the Mass so much and the
                        reception of the Eucharist, I want those
                        precious moments after the reception of
                        the Eucharist to last and last, I feel
                        so united to God. I want to remain like
                        this. I love God so very, very, very much.
                        I hunger for the Eucharist.

I see the beauty of the Mass and I
love to go and listen to every word.

                            We ask for forgiveness of our sins,
                        we pray for grace and mercy, we pray
                        for peace.

                            It is so obvious from many of the
                        readings that God does not want us
                        to be divided, He wants us to love and serve
                        Him and do His will.

                            I love each Person of the Trinity so very
                        much and I feel this love increases
                        every time I am at Mass and before
                        God in the tabernacle. I just know
                        Him more and more every day, I love Him
                        deeper, I long for heaven and completeness
                        in Him, I want the world to be united
                        and serving Him.

I long for the Reign of the Sacred
Heart in all Hearts.

From today's Gospel I quote—

Mark 5: 26-34

Parable of the seed growing by itself

He also said, ‘This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the land. Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake, the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know. Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the crop is ready, at once he starts to reap because the harvest has come.’

Parable of the mustard seed

He also said, ‘What can we say that the kingdom is like? What parable can we find for it? It is like a mustard seed which, at the time of its sowing, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth. Yet once it is sown it grows into the biggest shrub of them all and puts out big branches so that the birds of the air can shelter in its shade.’

The use of parables

Using many parables like these, he spoke the word to them, so far as they were capable of understanding it. He would not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything to his disciples when they were by themselves.

Messenger:         Oh today is First Friday and tomorrow
                        First Saturday. I feel so connected to the
                        Sacred Heart especially today and
                        the Virgin Mary on First Saturday.

                            I think these two days are great
                        days to renew our consecration and
                        pray for special favors from the Sacred
                        Heart and the Immaculate Heart. First
                        Saturday is a really special day to pray the
                        rosary.

                            Also I have been thinking there are
                        so many Masses late on Saturday and
                        early Sunday, we can really be united
                        so deeply in prayer on these days,
                        united to the Masses and united
                        with each other. And with the time
                        change we can pray hours before and
                        after Saturday afternoon and Sunday
                        morning.

The weekend is a very good time to stay
especially united.

                            In the darkness there are very many
                        parties taking place. When it is dark
                        somewhere it is light somewhere else.
                        I know there are places people drink
                        and party all day. Some have their
                        focus on sexual sins. There is
                        very much indulgence. We must
                        pray for great grace to be released.

                            If people prayed the 6:20
                        prayers as Jesus and Mary
                        asked all over the world, those consecration
                        prayers for the world would be being
                        prayed all through the day.

                            Those (the Holy Spirit Novena and
                        Red Prayer Manual) are special prayers
                        to help lead us into the Reign of the
                        Sacred Heart.

Listen to the prayers of the
Holy Spirit Novena.

DAILY NOVENA PRAYERS

Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.

Prayer for Holy Spirit

We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

Healing

We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.

Prayer for Strength and Light

We adore You, oh Holy Spirit. Give us strength, give us light, console us. We give ourselves entirely to You. Oh Spirit of light and grace, we want to only do the will of the Father. Enlighten us that we may live always in the Father's will.

Eternal Spirit fill us with Your Divine Wisdom that we may comprehend more fully insight into Your Divine Mysteries.

Give us lights, Oh Holy Spirit that we may know God. Work within the heart, the spiritual womb of the Virgin Mary, to form us more and more into the image of Jesus.

Prayer to Be One with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

We long for You, Oh Spirit of Light, we long to know God, we want to be one with Him, our Divine God. We want to be one with the Father, know Him as a Person most intimately. We want to know the beloved One, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and live and dwell in Him at all times, every moment of our lives. We want to be one with You, Oh Spirit of Light, that You move in us in our every breath.

Prayer to Be One in Jesus

Let us experience life in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so we can say as Saint Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...." Let us live, united to the Mass, all through the day being one in Him. Let us be able to love and know in this elevated state of oneness with our God. We long for Thee, oh beauteous God, we love You, we love You, we love You. We praise You, worship You, honor You, adore You, and thank You, our beloved God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Prayer to Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

We seek to be one in God, to live and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth, to experience life in the all perfect, pure, sinless heart of our Mother. We want the Holy Spirit to move in us and to be united to Jesus as the Bridegroom of our souls and be a most perfect sacrifice offered to the Father at every moment as we unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around the world to help in the salvation of souls.

Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts

Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.

Leader: Send forth Your Spirit and all will be reborn.
All: And You will renew the face of the earth.

We pray for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask for perfection in our souls to make us holy, holy souls likened to God.

Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.

Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts

We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.

Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit

Dear Holy Spirit, help us not to be ignorant or indifferent or weak, help us to be strong with the love of God.

Dear Holy Spirit, please pray for our needs for us.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to respect God and to avoid sin. Help us to live in the Father's will.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to keep Your commandments and to respect authority. Help us to love all things as You will us to love them. Help us to want to pray and always serve God with the greatest love. Help us to know the truth. Help us to have the gift of faith, hope, and love. Help us to know what is right and what is wrong.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

You supported the Holy Family of Nazareth with the work of your hands. Kindly protect those who trustingly turn to you. You know their aspirations, their hardships, their hopes; and they turn to you because they know you will understand and protect them. You too have known trial, labor, and weariness.

Draw them ever closer to Your Heart and to Your Mother's Heart. Allow them to more and more realize the great and special love of Your Hearts for each of them as unique individuals. Give them the grace to respond to Your love and Mary's love with an increased love of their own. As they dwell in Your Heart and Mary's Heart, abundantly care for all their needs and those of their loved ones. We make our prayer through You to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary our Mother at our side. Amen"

12. Prayer for the spiritual and financial success of the priestly newsletter. "Father, we ask Your special blessings upon the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. We ask that You open the priest-readers to the graces You wish to give them through this chosen instrument of Your Son. We also ask that You provide for the financial needs of the newsletter and the Shepherds of Christ Associates. We make our prayer through Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary at our side. Amen"

13. Prayer for all members of the human family. "Heavenly Father, we ask Your blessings on all Your children the world over. Attend to all their needs. We ask Your special assistance for all those marginalized people, all those who are so neglected and forgotten. United with our Mother Mary, we make this petition to You through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit."

14. Prayer to St. Michael and our Guardian Angels:

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

15. Pause for silent, personal prayer. This should last at least five minutes.

16. 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."

17. Daily Prayers. All members should say the Holy Spirit prayer daily and make the act of consecration daily. They should also pray the rosary each day. They are encouraged to use the other above prayers as time allows.

Messenger:         On February 23, 1999 I was told to ask
                        all who can to pray the 6:20 prayers. Jesus said
                        we would be united as a body praying
                        united with those under Mary's image for
                        a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

                            Jesus has called us to be Shepherds of
                        Christ. It is a really special calling,
                        it is a gift.

                            He gave me that message in February. This
                        year He asks us to pray the prayers daily
                        if we can during lent. 40 days of
                        saying the prayers for the Church and
                        the world. 40 days of special prayer
                        for the priests.

                            Ash Wednesday falls on February 13
                        this year. We will begin prayer on
                        February 12 and pray solidly until and
                        including some of February 15, the first
                        Friday of lent year 2002. This is the
                        Feast of St. Claude de Columbiere.
                        We need to pray so fervently for that
                        Priestly Newsletter Book II it could
                        really help to change the face of the
                        earth.

                            Instead of offering up lots of things in
                        lent, think of praying daily every day
                        as Jesus has asked to help build up the
                        Body of Christ. Many times when people
                        offer up things they become mean.
                        This is not the idea.

                        Can you pray the Shepherds of Christ Prayers every day
                        during lent? Can you make sure you
                        pray the Morning offering every day?

This would be a good habit to get into.

Can you pray the 6:20 prayers or
at least pray the 6:20 prayer format -

                            Priestly Newsletter Book II and
                            the last year of Fr. Carter's life
                            the year 2000.

We include an entry every day.

                        Our Lord said He has attached special
                        grace to help us be deeper united
                        to Him in the Mass and our
                        love for the Trinity will deepen
                        as we use it.

We need money to publish this book,
please help us and pray for this.

                        The Mass Book II goes hand in hand
                            with the Priestly Newsletter Book II and
                            is advertised in the Priestly Newsletter II Book.

                            Priestly Newsletter Book I are advertised
                            and all the prayers and tapes of
                            Fr. Carter reading the Newsletter.
                            Please pray for this and help us if you
                            can.

Messenger:        Our Lord has asked me to put on the
                                Mass Book II. He wants one entry
                                each day. This will be the tenth
                                entry today. Pray for Grace to love
                                God more and read each entry every
                                day. See if it helps you grow closer
                                to God—Father Son and Holy Spirit.
                                See how your relationship progresses
                                with God over this period of time.

We want to print the Mass Book II and
we'll need funds to do that.

                            The entries in the Mass Book II were
                                received about the same time as when
                                Father Carter wrote the Priestly Newsletter
                                Book II, also the last year of his life.

                            We need funds for the mailing of the Priestly
                                Newsletter Book II. It's coming along
                                good. Very soon it will be in
                                the hands of the priests.

~ September 18, 2000 ~

    If I love the whole world and all souls with all my heart, can that deep love in Him help to heal souls? Surely!

    I feel the love Jesus had in giving Himself and His life and I identify with Him.

    Think of all the Masses we attended when we did not let go of so many things and failed to be so intimately one in that Sacrifice.

    Think of the hands of the priest and the Masses offered and the gift given from God in those holy Masses. Were their minds on other things, are our minds on other things? Once his hands are laid to rest he can never offer another Mass. Think of all the grace that was released from the hands of the holy priests that have now passed on to another place. The grace that comes from the Masses is such a gift. When we go to bed tonight we can never live this day's moments again, they are gone forever. We had today to unite to the Mass and lay down our lives. What we deemed so important, was it so important to take us from uniting so deeply and selflessly in the Mass?

    Did we appreciate our priests? Did we cherish the Masses they celebrated?

    Think of all the grace released through the hands of one priest.

    Think of all that is missed by men who are not following their vocation to be priests. The modeling must be there.

    Fred, an important apostle, who is doing work concerning the priesthood, said one saint helped the boys he talked to so much that they all wanted to be priests. God is the One who calls men to be priests. That love of the priesthood in the holy priest will lead him to boast to men of the greatness of the priesthood. If one priest does this, he can affect so many becoming priests. His love of the priesthood and that vocation can lead him to boast of its greatness which can lead men to follow their vocation if God is calling them to be priests.

    WE MUST PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS TO DO THIS. THIS IS SO POWERFUL when a priest promotes the priestly vocation. We MUST PRAY FOR PRIESTS TO LOVE their priesthood and be holy priests and lead others to the priesthood. The priest is in the best position to encourage others to be priests by what he says, how he shows the joy of his life lived as a priest.

    WE MUST PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS TO DO THIS.

    To contemplate the miracle of the Eucharist is so pleasing to me and makes me cry. Jesus is truly with us in His Divinity and Humanity.

    I see the great gift in the priest. A human can look down and see bread and through the words of consecration it is changed into the Body of Jesus and he can look at the cup of wine and the wine is changed into the Blood of Jesus through the words of consecration.

    I cannot say what is in my heart for this great event and to think God in His goodness remains with us truly present through the hands of a man.

    I cannot imagine what it would be like to have that power in my hands and look down at bread, and then there is Jesus' Body; wine, and then there is Christ's Blood.

    I want to ponder this mystery and thank God for this gift of God truly with us in His Divinity and Humanity.

    Oh, my men, do you see the gift given to man, a human person, to consecrate the bread and wine so they become the Body and Blood of Jesus?

    Oh, my men, do you see the sacredness of it all, that a man can forgive sins?

    Oh, do you see how we must pray for our precious priests and why the devil would work to stop men in anyway from following this vocation?

    Oh, my men, it is indeed the most precious gift, this gift of the priesthood, to realize that Jesus Christ is truly present in His Humanity and Divinity after a man, a priest, has said the words of Consecration.

    Oh, my heart is so filled with this great gift of God. I want so much to lie down and worship our God, for He is so good to us, and the priests are so very, very, very important.

    Yesterday at Mass, I watched as a priest looked down after the Consecration. I just gaped with awe and wonder for this mystery and I knew what a gift this was.

    I cannot adequately write about it, it is a mystery and what my heart knows is so deeply embedded in my soul.

    My heart cries to thank God for His goodness and I want to worship and honor Him and be with Him in His Eucharistic presence within me.

    Oh, God, help the schools and the priests to lead men to an appreciation of the Eucharist and our Church.

    We truly are the bride of Jesus.

    I go to the altar of Sacrifice and I receive Him my Divine God, He is my spouse, I am one with Him in this work to help lead souls to heaven, helping in this Act of Redemption.

    My heart is His, my being I give freely, to be used as His messenger for His holy purpose.


    Think of all the hands of men that didn't consecrate at Mass and administer the sacraments because they didn't answer the call to be priests.

    The present priests can help young men become priests. They must grow in great holiness.

Prayer for Priests

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen

~ September 18, 2000 continues ~

Our struggle is with being earthy - involved all the time at the bottom of the mountain.

Isaiah 49: 13-15

Shout for joy, you heavens; earth, exult!
Mountains, break into joyful cries!
For Yahweh has consoled his people,
is taking pity on his afflicted ones.
Zion was saying,
   ‘Yahweh has abandoned me,
the Lord has forgotten me.’
Can a woman forget her baby at the breast,
feel no pity for the child she has borne?
Even if these were to forget,
I shall not forget you.



    Jesus said today we must, must trust in His Heart and have faith. We can't be so focused on Satan that we do not trust. We will receive benefits from His Sacred Heart depending how we trust in Him.

    Hopefully, tomorrow we will be able to include the messages from September 13, 2000's rosary.

    We must see His hand in what we are doing.

    We must TRUST IN HIM.
