Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

The Annunciation

1. R. He wanted me to read this, a reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

Reference Acts 2: 42-47

2. Jesus: I am calling you to be My apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to help to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart. You have been chosen and you have been called. I have given to you great graces, My apostles, not even given to some of My most favorite saints. But I have called you and revealed Myself to you most intimately. I love you with My Heart, My dear, sweet, loving shepherds. I call to you today to put first things first in your life - it is love of God. I am the Lord your God, you shall not have false gods before Me. It is in your prayers that many will receive great graces to help them in this time of great need. It is through your prayers, My shepherds, for I am one in you and you are one in Me, and in these prayers, there is great grace that is being released to your world in this time of suffering. Your world does not even know the state that they are in. They have closed their eyes and they walk a dark line to the end of the tunnel and some will suffer the death of their souls.

I come to you this day, the 13th of February, one year later, after a great rosary was delivered at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

The voice of the Good Shepherd is being silenced in these revelations. You must pray, My shepherds. I am the Lord your God, and you shall not have false gods before Me. You must pray and come to Me. The most important thing in your life, must be your union with God. I am God. I have spoken. It is grace, My shepherds. Do you lay in the bed at night and you worry and you wonder and you think? Lay in the bed at night and be one in Me, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and pray for the souls, pray for your world, consecrate the world to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

You must unite in this oneness with Mary under the cross, united to the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present and pray as you have never prayed before that grace will be released to the souls of this earth. You are the strong ones rooted in Me! Go to your room, close your door, and pray to God. For it is the grace that will help the souls. Many will fall apart. Many will fall in anguish. As trees fall to the ground, many that were strong, that were haughty, that were mighty in their shoes, will fall to their faces. I give you this message this day. You must be strong in your union with God. This is the strength. Souls must be led to the heart of their Mother. You are bringing children to the Kingdom when you spread the consecration. You must not fall back on your heels and ignore this great responsibility. You are the spouse of the Lamb bringing forth children for the Kingdom. You must spread the consecration to the far ends of this earth. You are the shepherds that I have called. Do not be blinded by the events that are happening around you. In one second, the tree falls to the ground because it is struck by lightening. In one second, many will fall on their faces, and you will be a pillar of strength, for it is through your prayers that many will be helped. You must pray that great grace is released to the souls of this earth.

3. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima - by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

“During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

“You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace

“The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)

“To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

“But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.” (13)

12. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.4-5.

13. Ibid., p.5.

4. R. Another message that she gave, —

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima - by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

“Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her by Mary:

Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)

19. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., pp.9-10.

5. R. Are we pleading for peace from our beloved Mother? She appears as the Lady clothed as the sun on the building in Florida and it has been ignored by so many. She has been ignored, their Mother. There is not another way, for this is the plan of the Father and she is the Queen of Peace. But are we pleading, as Mary said? This is how we will have peace. And what are we doing? We are ignoring our Mother.

6. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

7. R. Mary stood beneath the cross.

Reference John 19: 25-27

8. R. Mary conceived of the Child Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Reference John 19: 28-30

9. R. We must plead to our Mother for peace. This is what Mary told Jacinta.

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. And so I speak as the Holy Spirit speaks through me, for I feel within my heart a pocket of fear for the events that have occurred in my life. But I know that God wants us to be one body as the Spirit flows through us as a well oiled machine, as the body operates and the blood flows, and we do not even take notice of these things, for the Lord runs the body. And this is how we are to be - as one body in the body of Christ, where we operate according to the Father’s will - each one of us helping the other as a group would help one another. For I see the family of the Father, and I see them all working in order to accomplish the Father’s plan in love of God and love of one another - as school children on the school yard all playing in love and realizing God’s love and love of one another in their hearts. But the world has veered so far from the plan of the Father. It is not the individual that we see, and we say, “Well, why God do You see this person being so loving to their children, why would You punish this earth?” The world has veered so far from the plan of the Father. The whole world is to be focused as God intended from the beginning, with God as their God, with love in their hearts for one another. But the world is as it is today. And the messages that He gives to me come from God - the God that sees the people of the earth from the time of Adam and Eve to the present time, and He addresses the issue - the condition of the world today. I ask you now to envision this: to see the world as the Father intended it to be, with great love in all hearts, with children loving one another in their families and loving their neighbors, with all working toward a common goal of bringing love to this earth, of fruits being brought forth, of sharing, of giving to one another. See the world as the Father would have the world today. And now look at the world. Look at Iran. Look at the situation. Look at the hearts, the singleness, the way people beep their horns and hate one another, the things that are being broadcast on the television. Let us look at the world from the eyes of God. For these are the messages that are being delivered to the world today. They come from God. They come from God to bring the light to the darkened race, and we are the apostles that He has commissioned in order to carry this light into the darkness. We see so many times as in a box, and it is not in a box. It is the Almighty God, all-powerful and Almighty, that gives to us a message.

Jesus: My beloved world, you have run amuck.

2. R. He came in a stable in Bethlehem. He came the Savior of the world. He came the Mighty King of all. He came, Jesus Christ. He did not carry a golden horn or a gold crown on His head. He was not planted in a kingdom, a Kingdom for kings and they all hailed and sang to Him. He came the Almighty God - He was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was laid in a manger.

3. R. But the world has veered so far to one side and the other that they do not even comprehend the plan of the Father. It is the voice of the Good Shepherd that speaks here and we are hated, for the world does not want to listen. They refuse to change. They are willful. From the woman, Eve, they did their own will. And so the New Eve comes at Fatima and she gives the message plain and clear the way that it is and the world will not listen. Mary is our Mother, the spiritual Mother of this race, and she says, “Many souls will go to hell. She says we must pray for them. Do you see this? Do you see this soul that is darkened in sin, that has chosen this route?” We are praying hard for the souls. When we pray here, graces are released that majorly affect this world. This is the content of the message that I received on February the 5th from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary - that what we do here today will change many of the things that are going on in this world today. “Who will pray for all these dark souls?” Our Lady says. Who will pray that grace will be released to help them? We are praying, but this is what He said in the other message on January the 22nd: most important that prayer groups, all prayer groups, all over the world, should be encouraged, to add the Shepherds of Christ prayers to their format. For He is giving great grace to bring about the Reign of His Heart when these prayers are prayed. We look at the Divine Mercy prayer. It is a most important prayer that we need to pray and great grace is released. These are the prayers of the Good Shepherd to help bring the world into one fold. Naturally, the devil would press on every stance to try to stop us. And so Our Lady visited as she visited her cousin Elizabeth. She visited the earth, the Mother of her children, and she says to these children –

Mary: You must listen to me, my children. I am the Lady of the Holy Rosary, the Queen of Peace. You must consecrate your hearts. You must pray the rosary. You must make Communal reparation. You must go on the first Saturday and follow this devotion.

R. Have we listened? What is next? What is next is us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. For the completion of the Fatima mission, Jesus sent these messages to Father Carter and to me - the voice of the Good Shepherd. Mary called and called and called to lead the earth to this point that these messages would be accepted and take them deeper into the Heart of Jesus. It is these prayers that must be prayed. And so the message of January the 22nd from the Good Shepherd says thus –

Jesus: My dear shepherd apostles and associates and Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I am the Good Shepherd, this is the message I give to you this day, January 22, 1998. My instrument for great renewal in the Church is the Priestly Newsletter and the prayer chapters. This material I give to you, the Priestly Newsletter and the Blue Book messages, the Rosary Books, the Mass Books are the voice of the Good Shepherd leading the flock into renewal in the Church and the world.

At Fatima the sun came to the people of the earth and then went back to its original position. I give to you the Morning Star in the video of April 17, 1994 heralding the coming of the Word alive in their hearts. I gave to you this message, “I Communicate in Your Heart.” I give you the great gift of Myself in the Eucharist. I feed My flock. I hold them in My Heart.

I am asking all listening to receive this letter.

Please My shepherds, try to encourage all prayers chapters to recite the Shepherds of Christ prayers. This will add a small amount of time to their weekly meeting.

This is My desire that this message be sent in the mailing, including the message given to Father Carter that tells of the great benefits of praying these prayers. I will give them great graces when they pray these prayers, I will take them into My Most Sacred Heart and they will live and dwell in Our Hearts if they pray these prayers frequently in their lives.

4. Excerpt from January 22, 1998 - A Message for the Earth from Jesus

Jesus: I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers.

5. January 22, 1998 continues

Jesus: It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father’s wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary.

6. January 22, 1998 continues

Jesus: Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

7. Excerpt from July 31, 1994, a message from Jesus given to Father Carter

“My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

“I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart.

8. July 31, 1994 continues

“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.

9. July 31, 1994 continues

“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.” (end of July 31, 1994)

10. January 22, 1998 continues - A Message for the Earth from Jesus

Jesus: My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church.

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. January 22, 1998 continues

Jesus: I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it. (end of January 22, 1998)

2. R. And so I woke and I thought: All these messages, they have been coming hot and heavy, one right after the other. And we try to get them out like He asked us to get them out. And it was so difficult, you will never know what we have gone through to try to just produce a small amount of messages and get it out according to His will. And it is very interesting that this many messages, directive messages, have occurred at this time.

3. R. We must pray for this grace to be released on our world. Mary said, and I don’t have the exact message. It’s in the Fatima Book. But think of it this way: you know lots of people and how their lives are, and you’ve been praying for them and you’ve been loving them, and you’ve been wanting very much for them to turn to God. You have been praying for them and praying and praying and praying and praying, and they still resist and they do not want to change. What of the souls that have no one to pray for them? What of those souls? Mary appeared every day as the Sorrowful Mother. Mary appeared in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel the last 5 months in 1995 of the 14 months she appeared. This is what Our Lady is saying. Will it change? Will it change what Our Lady said all those times she appeared to me, 420 times down at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center? Do the messages of Fatima change when Mary talks about hell and shows it to the children? Does it change? No! This is the voice of God! Look at the earth! See the plan as the Father intended for the children of the earth. How are they living in accordance to this plan? And what would the message be from God? The message that I give to you this day is the message given to me from God, given to me within my being in a way that I cannot express in words, but with His grace, it reaches your heart and penetrates your heart as a two-edged sword. For it is not the words that I speak and it is not the words on the paper, but it is the grace that He gives to the soul to read, to respond, to take within their being. I give to you the voice of the Good Shepherd. You are His messenger that He is calling to carry this message from His voice to the world. It speaks thus: the Priestly Newsletter is major for the renewal of the Church and the world and the prayer chapters. He is giving great grace when people pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Such opposition we have, yes indeed, because He has affixed such grace to these prayers. The Father asked after Falmouth flooded for two things - say the prayers and help to spread the Priestly Newsletter. This is the voice of the Good Shepherd.

4. R. It is grace. It is grace that They are giving to us this day. For Jesus and Mary have been here in a most powerful way all through this day. The prayer that I pray now; do you see this person that is in great need of help? You can talk and talk and talk and talk and they do not hear many times. But you know how to pray. You know how to, I feel as if I bear down deeply in His Heart and unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as if I am standing under the cross with Mary and I am one in that Sacrifice - in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass wherever it is being offered at that moment in the world, and calling to the Father, “Please, Father, in the name of Jesus, through the powerful intercession of Our Lady, in the Holy Spirit, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, look at me begging. Please grant this great grace to this person in need.” What will you do; what will you do when they come crying to you and they say, “Help me! Help me!” And in your heart, you know the help is only in Him but they refuse to go to Him. And what if it gets worse and worse as Jesus said that it will do in the rosary we had Sunday? We must be so one in Him that as He allows us to suffer, we unite even deeper in Him. For where do you go? If you are a martyr at the stake, where are you going to go? You tune it all out. You go deeply into the Heart of Jesus. You unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in such oneness with our beloved Lord and ask the Father, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, to outpour the grace that is needed and we will all be one united to the Mass.

5. R. Jesus tells us that we should love more and more likened to Him, that He laid down His life for us. We should love each other so much. We are called to lay down our lives for one another. This is what we are doing by uniting ourselves more and more to Him and praying constantly for the salvation of souls, for the souls in purgatory, being united to Him as He has trained us, so beautifully, through some sufferings and sacrifices. We go deeper and deeper into this union with Him in prayer. And He’s taking us down more and more roads of suffering. For He is strengthening us, He says, for the days of slaughter. The strong ones, the holy ones, the ones who have prayed, the ones who have stuck to the hourly prayer, the ones that have consecrated their hearts at 3, 6, 9, and 12, deeply rooted in Him, will be prepared for the day when He calls our name and says, “You must be the pillar of strength to this sad world that is hurting now.” And you will stand tall in the greatest persecution and suffering, for when others danced and played their flutes and sang, we were being pressed on and we prayed harder, pressed on and we prayed harder, and we were being taught by the Good Shepherd to be able to be shepherds to help to lead the flock into one fold.

6. R. Can you go inside of yourself now at this moment and unite to Him, the Divine Lord? For you know He is there. Here comes the suffering. Here comes the thing in your life that you have no control over whatsoever. Here comes the anguishing, screaming pains of the beloved one that needs your help. And where do you go, my children? But to the Heart of the Savior. And so we said when this started, “How do we get in His Heart?” And from, “how do we get in His Heart,” to knowing exactly how it is to cry out in the dark night to the God that we love and know, truly in our being, that what we pray for that moment to the Father in the name of Jesus, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, that it will truly make a difference in the situation. For He has united us most intimately to Him, and in the end, it is the grace that will make the difference, not the busy, little, wind-up dolls that go around and shuffle the papers and move the pots when it rains in, but the ones that kneel and say, “God, I give it all to You and I beg for Your grace. I am powerless, but You are all-powerful. You are Almighty. You are God. Thank You for this gift of teaching us, our beloved Good Shepherd, of knowing You alive in us today.” For the Good Shepherd has come and He has trained and taught us through His voice and His suffering that He has allowed us to experience, but He has given Himself to us most intimately. And when the bus comes, we know the love of the Almighty God and it is that we wait for, that moment of deep intimacy with Him - when we feel Him within our being and we know Him and love Him. This is Jesus Christ, the King of all Kings. He is truly present on His throne in this Church in China, and let us all bow low and kiss the ground - for He is the King of all Kings, and we worship and we love Him and we adore Him. And this is why we live: for Him, our Beloved, our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ, King and Center of our heart.

7. Song: Crown Him With Many Crowns

R. And when we get up from this seat today, the world will be a different place, for our hearts were given to Him and we united in the greatest oneness and we begged Our Lord to grant great graces on this earth, and He heard our prayer and we appeased our God and He was filled with great joy for the love and the devotion that we gave to Him this day on the 13th of February in His Church for center of Eucharistic adoration in China, Indiana.

8. Jesus: I am asking you, My shepherds, to begin centers of Eucharistic adoration throughout this world. I am the Lord of Hosts and I come to you. I want to be adored, loved, and honored.

Sing: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord

9. Hail Mary

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. Song: In this Very Room

2. R. And I heard more and more how more tabernacles are being removed from the center in the Church and put in different little places in the Church.

This is the mystery that Mary would really lament - “The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple”.

3. R. And they were blind and they did not see, and the Almighty God was there all this time. He was handed over to the hands of men. But in the end, He will put all authority under His feet. He is the power. He is the Almighty God. He is to receive honor, glory, and praise. He is the King of all Kings. He is here in our temple here. He is God, truly with us this day.

4. Song: Holy God, we Praise Thy Name

5. R. We understand the scripture where the olive plants - the children are like olive plants, sitting about the table. We understand the family and the children, but we do not see the big family, the Father’s family. We do not see the bearing of fruit - children of the Lamb. We do not see the olive plants as they sit around the table of Sacrifice, and there is a Divine Banquet when the Almighty God gives Himself to man. The Father’s gift - He gave His Son as a sacrifice that we would be saved.

6. Song: In this Very Room

7. R. And so what happens in those end times when it gets harder and harder and harder and it presses in and there are those around us who have not prepared? But He has given to us great graces and He has trained us to be apostles ready for the days of battle. And what will happen when they come to us and they say, “Help us! Help us!” And we will fall to our knees and we will know how to pray.

8. R. For how is it that every second, when we pray the Morning Offering, we are helping in the work of redemption. For whatever it is that we do, we are united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, offering ourselves with Jesus to the Father. The most powerful prayer - the gift of His Son given to the Father, and the greatest grace is released for us sitting here this day, kneeling here, whatever, for our hearts are one with Jesus. We adore Him. We love Him. And we love the Father. I know the Father, and I know the Son, and I know the Holy Spirit. I know Them as three Persons, and I know Them as God. This is what He has taught me in these revelations and in this Movement. I know Them alive inside of me. I know my Father. I know Jesus. I know the Holy Spirit. And I know the Blessed Virgin. And I have this awareness, always, of the angels and the saints and the souls in purgatory and the world, and the vision is becoming more and more clear as God reveals to us insights into His Divine mysteries. Where were we before when we walked and we did not see? But He has taken the mud out of our eyes, and He has cleaned our  hearts with a scrub brush, as He said He would do. And He has taken us more and more into Himself as we go through Mary’s pure and Immaculate Heart. He has given to us great, great gifts. God, our God, is truly present here in the tabernacle the same as the day He walked the earth, the same as the day He was born in the town in Bethlehem, the same as the day He was baptized by St. John, the same as the day that He rose from the dead. He is truly present here with us in this place, and you know it and I know it because He has revealed this to us. What a gift God has given. We surely adore, love, honor, and just want You more and more, want to know You more and more, want to find You more and more in the temple, in our hearts, in others. We want to know God in this way. We adore You. We worship You. We love You.

And we sing: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord

9. R. Thank You for helping us find You, our beloved One, and help us to lead this world into the realization that You are alive and You are truly present and with us and You live within us. Help us to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Father. Thy kingdom come. We are Your little children and we want to be as You intended us to be when You created us in Your image and likeness. We want to be Your children, loving, adoring, and worshiping God.

1. I am the Lord, thy God, thou shall not have any gods before Me.

10. R. This is from the Apostles’ Manual on Ascension Thursday, I AM Alive!

May 25, 1995

R. Prayer is a lifting up of our minds and hearts to God. Who am I that I can change any event that is occurring in the lives of another, that I can affect the outcome of any event? I am a child of my Father. My Father is the Almighty God. How I love my dear Father. He is God and He has created me in His own image and likeness. My beloved, dear Father, how I love You that You give me such gifts - that You allow me to share in Your life!

You are the Father of Jesus and You are My Father. Thank You, My Father, for all Your gifts and for Your life. Who am I that I can affect the life of any person?

I am a child of God. I call on my dear Father and He loves me so, He listens to me. I lift my heart to You, my dear beloved Father and You listen to little me and You care for me so much. I call upon God and the Almighty God cares for me with such love that He listens.

R. This is May the 25th, 1995, page 418:

Jesus: Such truths have been given to you from My Father because of His great love for you. You are far more precious than the finest pearls, My beloved child. The Father so loved you He gave His Son so that you would have life. He gave His Son as a sacrifice for you. The Father gives to you His life through Jesus, His Son. You partake in His Divine life. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. My life I give to you, I live in your being, My beloved, I impart to you My Divine life. How many turn their backs on the great gift of this life given from the Father. To know this life and to know all those who have rejected this great gift!

I am the Almighty God, My power is endless. The power and might you felt within yourself is only a small sampling of My immense power.

I am God and I am allowing you to experience what you are experiencing to spread My love to others. Your immense understanding into these mysteries will help you speak and write them for others.

I have chosen you as an instrument to touch many hearts and bring them to My Divine love. Great gifts and understandings into these mysteries I am giving to you. You will lead many priests to the love of God.

R. He is speaking to all of us here, not just me.

May 25, 1995 continues

Jesus: I am alive. I am God. I long to be loved by man and many have turned their backs on Me and forgotten Me. You must tell them all I am allowing you to experience, these sufferings and understandings into My deep love. This is the beginning of many days when I will allow you to experience the rejection I felt from those I loved. Your heart is in immense pain for the souls who reject Me despite My love for them.

I beg you to speak and write. Make reparation for souls that have forgotten My love. Spread the love of My Sacred Heart and My Mother’s heart, throughout the world.

I love, I love, I love My beloved souls. I beg you to tell them. I beg Fr. Carter to tell every soul on this earth of My love. You will continue to suffer such pain and anguish in your heart. Suffer in silence for souls. I love so deeply and am so gravely offended!

I am Jesus, My dear, little child. I am alive and in this world. I live in the hearts of men, I live in the consecrated Host, I am forgotten and ignored and treated with such dishonor.

Speak for Me, I beg you to spread this love throughout this earth. I am sending you as missionaries into this world. On this Ascension Thursday, I have given you great sufferings and great joy. I have allowed you to experience the highest ecstasies in My love and plunge you into deep pain in your heart for those who reject Me.

You, I send as missionaries to carry out the work I have begun. Be fearless and pray to the Spirit. This day I am giving you abundant graces to speak, and through this speaking, others are sent into this world as My apostles.

It is through the Shepherds of Christ Movement My love will be spread. Circulate My messages and rosary meditations. The love of the two Hearts will be known throughout this world through these messages and rosary meditations.

You will be fearless, everyone I send to you is a messenger to carry out My love. Circulate these letters with FIRE for I am delivering them to you in FIRE.

I am Jesus Christ, the Living God. I am allowing you to experience My life, alive in you and giving you these emotions to spread My love.

On this Ascension Thursday, I beg you to carry out the message to this world. Live My life in your life, every moment My life living within you.

I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life. I have commissioned you to go out and to carry this message - the message of My immense love for ALL mankind, including My burning love for My priests and religious. Souls will turn their hearts to Me from these letters. This is the mighty medicine to turn a sick cold world to hearts filled with the love of God. (end of excerpt)

R. I just want to say this, you can finish reading this, but He just cried out, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!” And I felt like I was just going to buckle up and I just could hardly stand it, the pain was awful, because He is ignored and He is treated like a dead object. And Ill never forget this for as long as I live, but I want to tell you this too: Yesterday, I had some messages from Him, and this is really important so please listen to this. He has given to us the greatest gifts in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and we are His broadcasters of this Movement. It offends Our Lord greatly if we are just in conversation with another making conversation to anybody outside the Movement or within the Movement, if we tell of problems within the Movement. He has given to us the greatest gifts and we are the broadcasters, the apostles of the Good News. Sometimes, needlessly, we just want to make conversation with another person and what we end up saying is something derogatory about the Movement or about our problems in the Movement. This offends Our Lord. It's His Movement. The universal Church, Father Carter says, has immense problems. We are persecuted tremendously because of the mission that we are given and its importance to bring about this great era of peace and love. I was praying yesterday with Father Carter. Our Lord said that He is giving to us great treasures in this Movement and it is His Movement, and He’s calling us to be apostles to spread it. He has given to us Good News and given us knowledge of Him in the Eucharist, His burning love, promised grace through praying the Prayer Manual prayers. Think of Our Lord. Think of Him looking at you as a special chosen soul and He wants loyalty and love for the Movement. Many will find the love of God that they need because of the work that we do. Many will find what they need to help them with their souls through what we are doing in this Movement.

We must be loyal and thank Our Lord, spend our time everyday saying the Morning Offering and offering up for the intentions that are on the prayer card. We need these prayers so that grace is released. Each and every one of us cannot waste a moment of our life. We must be united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, trying to live according to the Father’s will at every second, loving God and loving one another for the salvation of souls, to help to bring about the Reign of His Heart. And let us thank Him for the Movement by always being loyal and spreading Good News.

"Pray for the grace," He says, "that we will not make needless conversation which could in any way hurt the Movement." You must be strong soldiers, for we are in battle against the evil one to help in the salvation of souls. And I hear Him say –

Jesus: I love you. I love you. I love you, and I thank you for all that you have done to help to bring children into the Kingdom. I am your Spouse, the Lamb of God, the Bridegroom of your soul. You are My beloved chosen one. I have called you to bring forth children for the Kingdom of God.

Jesus: Do you think I acted on your soul less when I gave you the experiences of hell?

    I give to you the greatest graces to know My love. I act directly on your soul. I am the Bridegroom of your soul.

R. Oh Jesus, He took me to the heights of ecstasy in Him in realizing how He is the Initiator and acts on my soul. How foolish I am indeed to think it is I who control the workings of God on my soul, when in fact He is the Bridegroom of my soul.

    I see Him look at me with the greatest love, as I did once in the study, when I knew He looked at me and loved me so. I sat with a white dress and my Bridegroom looked with love on me, thinking me so beautiful to Him, me the little child of the Father in all my faults, and looking on me with such love. He stood above me as a Bridegroom dressed in black, tall and handsome, and He looked down with the most loving eyes upon me and I knew the love of the Divine Creator.

    Today I knew how it was, how He acted on my soul. I see how it is when someone really acts in love and does something for me because that person loves me.

    I see myself as open, letting go, putting myself entirely in the hands of the Creator, the God I love, and the Bridegroom comes with the greatest love and His grace. He gives me Himself. My job is to be, just to be, a soul, waiting for the Bridegroom to just give me Himself in the greatest love. I am, I know it is He who acts, and when He acts His presence overtakes my soul. I am, I let go and I reminisce about all the times He just overtook my soul.

    Little do I do, for it is the Bridegroom loving me, loving my soul and acting most intimately on my soul.

    I sit and surrender myself entirely to Him. He is the Initiator. He is the One Who acts with His grace and NOTHING - no intimate experience, nothing here can fill the soul with this love and satisfaction.

    For the Bridegroom acts and the soul is satisfied, the only desire is that it will never end. Sometimes there is such a longing and realizing the temporariness of it all. Sometimes He gives my soul such satisfaction, comfort and love, and I am filled with the greatest peace and satisfaction with less awareness of the temporariness, just peace.

Jesus: I give you the peace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus when He acts on the soul of His spouse. I am the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. I am the Spouse of your soul. I give you this satisfaction so that you will write to Me after Communion for My Mass Books for the world. This book will be entitled the Spouse of the Lamb. I will act on your soul most intimately.

    And what My child is the key, but total surrender as a spouse who knows her spouse loves her and takes the love given. You, child, pray for this grace, to be possessed by the Lamb, the Bridegroom of your soul. What lesson did I teach you this day but that it is I who act upon you, you do not control My love given to you in any way. A grace is given, a grace is received.

    Your total surrender is the way to most optimally allow the Bridegroom, the Lamb, to act on your soul.

    Total yielding, so that you will allow yourself to be IN ME.

R. Oh my God - how to explain that which happens when You act on my soul and what I experience. Are there any words that could do this justice when the Almighty God finds favor with me most intimately, and gives Himself to me?

Jesus: My child, I act, you are passive, empty and open. Surrender and I will possess your soul with the lights of heaven so you can experience your Divine Lover most intimately. Surrender, surrender, surrender, a state of being and surrender to live in Him at the point of greatest intimacy in the Mass.

    You will know days of darkness and joy as the shadows and lights fade in and out of your life and I reveal Myself most intimately to you.

    I am Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of your soul. Your hand must record these experiences for the marriage of the Lamb to the soul.

    I act upon your soul most intimately.

 

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.
 

R. My beloved Jesus,

    The Bridegroom of my soul. It is not I who write, but in fact, You Who write through me, to Yourself. I surrender myself and want to exist in You in such oneness that I can more optimally love You.

    This is my desire to give You great love from my heart existent in You.

    And this I write for 10 minutes that You will help me to love God most intimately and give myself more completely to Him.

    My God, I adore You, I worship You, I love You, my beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul. I know the black Bridegroom, the one dressed as a bridegroom who wears a white robe of glory. Yes, it is the priests dressed in black that are to teach us to be the spouse of the Lamb.

Revelation 1:6

...and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.

R. And the Bridegroom comes, He summons the soul.

    Oh, my Bridegroom, we pray for the wedding of the Lamb to our souls.

    We pray for the spousal relationship of our souls with Our Divine God.

Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The life flows from My Sacred Heart to My body, the Church. Many never mention the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    What body would survive cut off from the heart? My life flows from My Heart into the body, My Church.

    I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus and My Heart will reign - I am calling My people to a personal spousal relationship with God. This is the work of the Shepherds of Christ. I bless you in this mission to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart.

    I am Jesus, the Son of God, Son of Man, the Sacred Heart, I am the beating Heart that keeps the body alive with My grace.

R. Blood and water poured forth from His most Sacred Heart. Blood a symbol of the Eucharist, water a symbol of Baptism.

    He cursed the barren fig tree.

Revelation 6:13

...and the stars of the sky fell onto the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when a high wind shakes it;

Revelation 7: 17

...because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 5: 10

and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to rule the world.

The Marriage of the Lamb

    What do I write today? Since that day, February 25th I have experienced the Bridegroom as He stands above me and strengthens me in this trial I have experienced. It has been a hellish experience to do the Father’s will, to stand firm for the truth when it would have been so much easier to laugh and to play as the world danced and I cried inside to stand behind the truth in this “Godless” world.

    They danced and played and whistled a tune on the flute and the Bridegroom was ignored at His own wedding. How indeed would it be if at the marriage the bridegroom was treated as if he were not present?

    We went to the altar, we received Him, the Lamb, the Bridegroom of our souls and then we ignored Him and went to laugh and play. We ignored Him and fed our faces.

    The tenderest love Our Divine Captain gives to us in giving Himself in the Mass. The Almighty God, the King of heaven and earth, gives Himself to us in the deepest spousal relationship and what happens here? We ignore Him and talk to mere humans with God in our breast.

    Let us make reparation to Him, Our Savior, for the ingratitude and indifference given to the King, the Lamb of God, Who was slain for our sins. They now have roped off my pew with a red chord and asked me to move my jacket as I prayed. Several ladies stand at the end of my pew and talk openly in church of the bishop to come in this church today. All the priests, the royal bridegrooms, anointed by the Lord, came out immediately after Mass and talked to the people, right in church. There was conversation and laughing at the beginning of Mass and at the end. A royal banquet, the Lamb was slain for our sins, now sacramentally made present here and who pays Him heed?

    They worship Him with fan-fare and trumpets, flutes and tambourines, but when the banquet is served, they all get up and rush from the table. Little focus is given to the King and royal Bridegroom of the soul. He is really ignored. Oh precious King, we love You, we worship You, we adore You, forever.

    I was unable to be intimately connected to Him today in a way that gave me happy feelings, but in my heart I know in the suffering there is no place to go but to Him.

    Preparation must be made. Time must be set aside for a person who is important in our lives. Time must be set aside to prepare for the Lamb, the Bridegroom of our soul. It begins with acts of surrender, saying the “Prayer for Union with Jesus”, the consecration, and the “Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass”.

    I love You, Jesus. In this suffering, I unite in Your passion and death. I love You, my Divine Lord, the Bridegroom of my soul.

  

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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

A Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

Jesus: My dear Shepherds,

    I give to you My instructions in the Blue Book Messages and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Apostles’ Manual. I give to you My teachings to be the carriers of My Word in the writings of Rita and Fr. Carter. I am asking you, as a loyal Shepherd eager to follow your mission, to study and read this material. You are in training to help bring about the Reign of My Heart. A true Shepherd Apostle and Leader will restrict themselves to these writings. The focus of these writings is to lead all to the Word, the Mass, the Eucharist, the Rosary, to a deep intimate relationship with God in which He is one in you and lives and dwells and operates from you.

    My teachings I give to bring the world into one fold in these writings. I ask you to study the writings and to know Me in My word.

    The tape “Choose Life” should be made available for all Chapter members with the Daily Prayer tape. It would be very helpful to record the intentions of the Hourly Novena on a small tape and the Holy Spirit Novena when it becomes available.

    Come and dwell in My Heart. I long for you to come. I love you, Jesus.

R. My dear Bridegroom,

    I see now the plan of the Father and that we are all children in His holy family. This is how we must see the world. It is His, we are one, He is our Father. We would not talk about our brother, we would love him. Always love him, as a brother in the holy family of the Father. We must keep our family pure. Each family is a little family of the Father’s family, we are all related as the children of Eve, but this life in the Spirit, this relationship is all in the Spirit. If we understand generations and blood lines, we should clearly understand the connections of this family living as children of God. As we read in John 1:13, “who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will, but from God Himself.”

    He is the Initiator. We are the ones responding to His initiative. He is the life. He is the light.

John 1: 3-8

Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
    except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not overpower it.

A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
    through him
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.

Thus it states: The witness of John (John 1:23)

So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied:

A voice of one that cries in the desert:
Prepare a way for the Lord.
Make his paths straight!'

    All division will be finished, the hills leveled, the valleys filled in for there will be one flock and one Shepherd, one family of the Father.

    The Son, the Word, reveals the Father, thus: John 1:1,3 he begins,

In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.

Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
except through him.

    Zachariah was struck dumb for not believing, John was the voice to prepare the way of the Lord.

    I saw John the Baptist in Conyers, Georgia April 14 or 15, 1993. I had experienced the loss of my voice, I was struck speechless.

    The voice that came forth was His to prepare the way for the Lord of Hosts.

    His voice speaks in these teachings, the voice of the Good Shepherd in Father Carter's and my revelations.

    Here is John's testimony: '...Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.' (John 1: 29)
