Words of Surrender of a Soul
Words of Consecration to God
Today Lord, (today's date), I give You my entire will-
I give You all my liberties, I want to love and serve You as You desire.
I surrender myself to You.
I ask You to run my life.
I ask You to help me act like You, Jesus, and like Your Mother Mary.
God, this day I consecrate myself to You.
I am (name) , Your beloved child, guide me on my way now as I go about my day (or if in Church) as I leave Your Eucharistic presence.

Messenger: We are all sinful.
Jesus says we must pray for grace to be holy.
Jesus speaks: Do not give into satan to divide you —
pray for grace, say "Jesus help me, give
me your grace to withstand this temptation."
Pray the Our Father, concentrate on the end
of the prayer.
What is in your heart?
How pure is your heart?
Do you pray for purity?
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.
March 5, 2003 message continues
Messenger:
Jesus is with us.
We are never alone.
He wants us to be united to Him at every moment.
We operate by His might.
We should pray to know His will
and follow it.
Sometimes we think and plan and we
should have prayed for grace
to do what He wanted us to do.

March 5, 2003 message continues
Messenger: Jesus told me:
Pray that you do God's will in everything
you do.
Pray for grace all day to be doing
the right things, handling situations
the right way.
When you are tempted to think dividing
thoughts —
pray to do the right thing —
not in a prideful way —
thinking I am right, they
are wrong —
honestly pray with an open
heart to do God's will.
Jesus speaks:
You will have to do this to do what I am
asking you to do, it will be hard, you
will be tempted and tried. Do not give
into division and selfish ways. I have called
you. Some are just lazy. Instead of helping
they spend days thinking how they have
been cheated.
I have chosen you and given you
from My abundance.
Some are ungrateful and block My
work when they give into satan.
I love you,
I have called you to help Me do this
work.
From St. Ignatius Loyola
"What have I done for Christ?"
"What am I now doing for Christ?"
"What ought I to do for Christ?"
March 5, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks:
I ask you to think about the
daily Mass readings —
Read the Blue Books
Pray with all your heart for the souls
of this earth.
Pray when you feel divided.
You should want to be formed more
and more into My image
and likeness.
Pray for this.
I died for you that you could
share in My life abundantly.
Why do you not see that you
were called to serve and
love others.
You are imperfect —
You need to grow in greater perfection.
John 16: 33
I have told you all this
so that you may find peace in me.
In the world you will have hardship,
but be courageous:
I have conquered the world.

Fast from complaining —
remember when you gossip
to members outside your

give a false impression to
someone on the outside.
Live to build up My Kingdom.
In this period of lent you may be tested —

look at how you have been blessed —
March 5, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks: Oh My people,
If you only knew the joy of one who
loves and serves the Lord.
In these end times satan will press on you,
you can't give into the negative
tapes of division that can play in your
head.
When he tries to plant ugly thoughts —
DON'T GIVE IN TO THEM!
I want the mailing out.
It won't go out if you give into satan.
Satan will try to create division.
You must forgive and stay united.
FORGIVE
"GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS
WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS
AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO
TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL."
ARE YOU HOLY — then act HOLY
Some people think they are acting holy
and they are prideful looking
down on others —
if you are holy it is because
of My grace.
Thank and praise your God who loves
you.
Sing this song when you are angry

Jesus speaks: Oh the air was brisk, but pleasant —
the sun shown so brightly
that day after the long days of
cold that winter.
Do you feel the promise of the spring
to come — the days of Easter?
Before Easter will be 40 days to
prepare your hearts for the
bright sunny days ahead.
Do not miss the opportunity to
pray for grace all through the
day to be holy, beg Me to
help you act as I desire.
Love your God and all others.

in My image and likeness.
Hope My children
pray for grace and
Hope — your eternal
reward waits those who
love and serve Me.
What a promise!
What a gift for you!
Oh life is so temporary here ———
This movement exists to reach
the world with the message of
Jesus.
Many come when every intimate
relationship they have ever had
has failed.
They see themselves as perfect
all others were wrong.
When they come to make the
Shepherds of Christ the perfect
family, wife, mom,
dad, they every had —
some leave bitter —
blaming Shepherds of Christ for
their imperfections.
Some want a doting wife
that will always say —
oh how wonderful you are —
Jesus speaks: I have called you to help Me
reach the world with My message
of love. I have called you to help
the messenger — I send messages
from heaven, how to reach the
world, messages how to live in your
spiritual life and many want to use
My Movement to work out their
imperfect ways .
I call you to help, to walk
hand-in-hand with My
messenger, to circulate pictures
of the image.
The main purpose of this
Movement was to circulate the
Priestly Newsletter and begin
prayer Chapters.
This mailing is a major
reason for why this Movement
exists. Satan will work on peoples
imperfections to get them to focus
on themselves and their unmet needs.
If you wanted healing for
the world you would be grateful
for Mary's image and My movement
and help Me. You would read the
beginning of the Spirituality
Handbook and see the purpose
of the Movement.
Some act as babies
needing a bottle.
I ask you to be grateful for the
sign given, I ask you to be
grateful for the calling —
I ask you to help Me —
I am sending you messages through
My Messenger — some come
with pride and imperfections
and want those around them to
do their dysfunctional dance.
The message is clear.
The question I ask you —
will you help or
will you let satan press
on you about your unmet
needs and how you have been
violated.
Message —
This mailing will help to change
the face of the earth —
Circulate this mailing
March 5, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks: SATAN KNOWS WHAT
THIS MAILING COULD
DO FOR THE WORLD
Satan presses on someone about
something they think someone
said, then they focus on how
they have been violated —
then they become angry and
give into the anger —
some become paralyzed
and block everything I
want accomplished —
their disharmony hurts all
the work to be accomplished.
They spray their anger on everyone
like a spray can, watching
people around them fall —
then they tell themselves
they were right.
Others see themselves as
perfect and do not help.

Feast of St. Cyril and Methodius
Jesus and Mary appeared during the rosary during the Shepherds of Christ meeting.
Transcribe from a tape of a live rosary.
St. Valentine's Day
Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
1. Messenger: See the young Mary and see the angel as the angel appears to Mary and asks Mary to be the Mother of Jesus!
2. Messenger: Mary was the most kind and gentle virgin!
3. Mary had such faith and trust and love of God!
Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her. Luke 1: 38
4. My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour; Luke 1: 46-475. Messenger: Mary is our model to follow. Mary always followed the will of the Father!
6. Messenger: Jesus was conceived in Mary's womb, Jesus is God! Jesus is a Divine Person with two natures: a human nature and a Divine nature.
7.
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life. John 3: 168. Messenger: Who are we that God loved us so much that He became man out of greatest love for us?
9. Messenger: God is so good to us! Jesus is the mediator between the Father and us.
10. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption.
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Visitation
1. Messenger: The angel had told Mary that her cousin Elizabeth was with child in her old age. So Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Her heart was bursting over with the good news that Jesus was in her womb!
2. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Luke 1: 41-43
3. Messenger: The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the sight of Mary and Jesus in Mary's womb!
4.
He went through the whole Jordan area proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet:
A voice of one that cries in the desert:
Prepare a way for the Lord,
make his paths straight!
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be levelled,
winding ways be straightened
and rough roads made smooth,
and all humanity
will see the salvation of God. Luke 3: 3-65. Messenger: The Lady is calling us this day. She's calling us to spread the news of the love of her Son throughout this world. Do not take this call so lightly for she truly comes to you this night to tell you that she is calling to you individually, each and every one of you present. This is her call, her personal call to you to take this plea with seriousness, for souls will be lost. How can we stand with our arms closed in front of us when we know His immense love, when we know that there are so many souls in this world that are hurting that need His immense love!
6. Song: Our Lady of Medjugorje
7. Messenger: Mary told me this morning that she wanted all at the Shepherds of Christ meeting to sing the above song. She is truly calling us to take her cry so seriously. She is asking us to open up our hearts as Jesus stands at the door of our heart this day, knocking and knocking, and we must let Him in. Then we will spread the love of Jesus throughout this world when we open up our heart to Him.
8. Messenger: For His love is a light that shines in the darkness. His love is vibrancy that radiates from our eyes and our being. Mary calls out to us, if we have ears to hear. She has called us here to spread the love of her Son throughout this world!
9. Messenger: Mary carried the child Jesus within her womb, Jesus in all His Majesty and Might! Truly God within the womb of Mary! He remains with us this day in the Tabernacle, no less present than the day that she carried Him in her womb. Jesus is waiting for us to outpour to us His abundant grace, to fill us with His love! Come to the Tabernacle! Be ever so close to Jesus' burning Heart!
10. Messenger: The time is now! The place is set! We are the apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus! Mary is calling to us to come to the two Hearts, to know the immense love that Mary and Jesus have for us and to go into this world to the people that are next to us at your work, to the people that are next to us where we eat lunch! Wherever we are, these are the souls that Jesus came to save! These are the souls that Jesus gave His flesh and His blood for and He asks us to spread His love to each and every soul. Open our arms wide as Jesus opened His arms when He died on the cross! Do not hold our arms crossed in front of our body. Talk about Jesus' love in this world! Pray for the fearlessness that the Spirit can give to us. Take this call so seriously for souls will be lost and condemned to eternal damnation despite Jesus' death and resurrection.
Song: My Soul Rejoices
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Birth of Jesus
1. Messenger: The Father so loved us that He sent His only begotten Son into the world born of the Virgin Mary. Look at a little baby! God loved us so much that He came into this world a little baby! All His Might and Majesty! God came a little baby in the womb of Mary.
2. Messenger: Jesus, in His Divinity and His humanity, remains with us this day in the Eucharist, the same as the day He was born in the manger in Bethlehem! Jesus is present in the Tabernacle here, the same Jesus Christ that hung on the cross! The same Jesus that walked and talked! Jesus is with us this day and He calls out to us to come to Him and realize His presence!
3. Messenger: Every time we receive Jesus in the Eucharist within our bodies, we are receiving the same Jesus that died on the cross, the same Jesus that rose from the dead!
4. Messenger: Jesus came in such quietness in the town of Bethlehem. The angels sang! There was not a roll of drums or a blare of trumpets! We walk the aisle to receive Him in communion and the only roll of drums and blare of trumpets are those in our hearts! Are we aware of the fact that this is truly God that we receive! That this is the same Jesus that walked the earth with a cross on His back? He wants us to know that it is truly Jesus! Jesus said to tell you: I am the same Jesus that carried the cross on My back and they run from the church!
5. Messenger: Jesus came in such poverty and He died hanging on a cross! He came to show us the way! He took the nature of a man because He loves us so much! Who are we that God comes to us? It is only in His great love that He comes to us!
6. Song: What Child is This

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
1. Messenger: Jesus was taken up to the Temple and the old man, Simeon, was there. He had been told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah. He saw Joseph and Mary and Jesus enter the Temple. Simeon went over and held Jesus and he said: Now I am ready to die.
2. Messenger: But he told Mary and Joseph of the immense sufferings that Jesus and Mary would go through. And he said to Mary that a sword, too, shall pierce your heart!
3. Messenger: From that point on when Mary looked at the infant child, when she looked at Jesus all through His life, she knew of the sufferings that He would suffer.
4. Messenger: It is through Baptism that we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven, that we share in a special way in His Divine Life. Baptism is a great gift!!
5. Messenger: It is through Baptism that our human nature is elevated to such heights!
6. Messenger: If we are baptized and remain in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in such a special way. Who are we that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us?
7. Messenger: Who are we that God loves us so much and that He is so good to us?
8. Messenger: God is with us. He loves us so much.

3. Messenger: Their hearts in such sorrowing, they returned to the Temple in search of the child Jesus!
4. Messenger: Mary is so beautiful and she wants you to know that she is here with us in such a special way -- all white - so beautiful!
5. Messenger: When they found Jesus, He was teaching the doctors in the Temple!
6. Messenger: Jesus wants to teach us! He wants us to realize how much He loves us! He wants us to come to the Tabernacle and to sit in front of Him. He teaches us in our hearts His Divine Truths when we come and sit with Him. Sit in silence and let Him instruct you as He instructed the doctors in the Temple!
7. Messenger: Read His Word in the Holy Scripture! Jesus feeds us with the Eucharist and His Word.
8. Messenger: Jesus feeds us with the Eucharist. Jesus gives to us His Body and His Blood to feed us!
9. Messenger: Jesus gives to us one another.
10. The Mystery of Christ and Christian Existence
...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).Excerpt from Response to God's Love, by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary
1. The Prophecy of Simeon. Simeon told Mary and Joseph of the sufferings that Jesus and she would undergo. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
2. The Flight into Egypt. Joseph was told in a dream to take the child Jesus and Mary to Egypt. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
3. The Child Jesus was Lost in the Temple. Joseph and Mary's hearts in such sorrowing, they searched for the child Jesus. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
4. Jesus and Mary's Eyes Peered into one another's on Calvary. The union of the two Hearts. Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance! Mary's heart was pierced invisibly with a sword! The immense love that these two Hearts have for us! The intimacy between these two Hearts! The more that we unite with Mary, the closer we become to the Heart of Jesus. Dear Holy Spirit, please transform us within the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
5. Jesus Died on the Cross and Mary stood beneath the Cross. We are brought to new life through Jesus' death. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
6. Mary under the Cross Received the lifeless body of her Son. Mary held the child Jesus so tenderly in her arms as a baby, Mary now received Jesus' battered, bloody body totally lifeless to hold in her arms! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
7. They locked Jesus in the Tomb. His enemies were so happy that they had won! And Mary wept outside the tomb. But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day, through the power of the Holy Spirit, He rose triumphant from the tomb! Jesus gave us a sharing in His life through baptism -- His Divine Life! His Divine Love! Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered and died and rose on the third day that we might share in this Divine Life! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!
And the heart of the Virgin Mary, whose heart was pierced so many times for love of her Beloved Son, calls out to us from this heart to take this as an urgent call from her. Be about your relationship with her Son, Jesus. For if you are united to Jesus, you are more likely to live in the Father's will for us. Mary told me today to bring the song, The Lady of Medjugorje, because she had a special plea for you. This is her plea! Come to the Eucharistic Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is a burning furnace of endless love on fire for us. The more we unite with Jesus, the more we become one in God. The more God will operate from us to touch the hearts of so many souls - souls that may be lost if we do not spread His love. Mary calls out to us, our Spiritual Mother. It is in Baptism that we were born to new life. Mary wants us to grow deeper and deeper in our life in Him. For it is in union with her Son, Jesus, that we will achieve everlasting life. We want to be forever united in the courts of Heaven with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in deepest union. Your union in Heaven depends upon your union here on earth. The deeper our union here, the deeper our union in Heaven. Heaven is a place that we cannot imagine.
Song: Eye has not Seen
This rosary was prayed before the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows at the Shepherds of Christ meeting. Mary appeared through out the entire rosary. Mary was brilliant and was illuminated during the entire rosary. Rita saw her as white! Jesus also appeared.
