The
Baptism of Jesus
1. The
beginning of Jesus’ public life was when John baptized Him in the
Jordon.
2. There
was tremendous light, the sky was thrown open and the voice of the
Father was heard.
3. "This is
My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
4. Above
the head of Jesus was a dove.
We hear the Father, see the Son, and know from the Dove, the
presence of the Holy Spirit.
5. The
Trinity: Jesus began His public life at His Baptism by John in the
Jordon.
6. Jesus in
His public life taught us how to be sons and daughters of the Lord.
7. Jesus in
His public life performed many miracles.
8. This
baptism of Jesus was not like the sacrament of baptism we receive.
9. Jesus
comes so that we could live.
10. God the
Father created us and loves us so much He sent Jesus to pay for our sins
and to bring us new life.
The
Marriage at Cana
1. These
are mysteries of Light.
2. Think of
the mystery that Jesus changed water into wine at the wedding of Cana.
3. This is
considered the first miracle of Jesus’ public life.
4.
John
2: 1-10
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in
Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples
had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine
provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus
said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do
you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to
the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There
were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions
that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty
gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’
and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some
out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this;
the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having
no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the
water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and
said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the
guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till
now.’
5. Jesus
performed this miracle after the intercession of Mary His Mother.
6. Mary has
powerful intercession.
7. What a
mystery: Jesus changed water into wine.
8. These
are the mysteries of light:
God is a God of miracles, Jesus is the second Person of the
Blessed Trinity!!
9. John the
Baptist was called by God to prepare the way for Jesus.
10. John
said: He (Jesus) must increase, I must decrease.
Building
the Kingdom of God
1. In the
liturgy on Sundays we celebrate the Mass with the priest, we read the
scriptures, we receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
2. The Mass
is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present.
3. These
are the mysteries of Light, we receive a sharing of His life in baptism.
4. The
Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced, baptized soul.
5. Our
knowing and loving capacity is elevated in baptism.
6. Song:
A Priest is a Gift from God
7. We
receive the supernatural virtues of faith, hope and love in baptism.
8. We hear
the Father at the baptism of Jesus: He says “this is My beloved Son in
whom I am well pleased.”
9. God
gives us a sharing in His life in baptism and feeds this life with
Himself in the Eucharist.
10. We
promote the Kingdom of God as we live holy lives in Him.
The
Transfiguration
1. Jesus
took Peter, James and John up Mt. Tabor.
2. These
are the mysteries of Light. Jesus appeared transfigured, in the whitest
light before them.
3. The
voice of the Father was heard, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased, listen to Him.”
4. Jesus
appeared with Elijah, the prophet and Moses, who received the Ten
Commandments.
5. Jesus
showed them this magnificent vision, these are Mysteries of Light.
6. Jesus
showed Himself transfigured to them. God is a God of miracles.
7. The
Father said “…Listen to Him”.
Jesus by this time had taught the Apostles many things, and
performed many miracles.
8. Do we
obey the commandments God gave to Moses? Do we listen to God?
9.
Prophets, do we listen to God?
Mary appeared at Fatima and gave us messages.
Do we listen to Mary, Mother of God?
Do we pray the rosary?
Mary said” the family that prays together, stays together”.
After Mary’s messages of Fatima, despite her warning as Queen
of Peace, she was not listened to, there was World War II .
10. Because
of World War II about 66,000,000 people all over the world died.
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."

How can we ignore Mary?
Jesus said
to me December 5, 1996 before Mary appeared in Clearwater "Nobody is
Listening”.
He appeared to me on the cross 25 years ago, His mouth moving at the
point of death. That night He said:, “Nobody is listening”.
Then Mary
appeared on the building in Clearwater December 17, 1996 like this for 7
and 1/2 years.

Apostles of the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
My dear fellow Associate Members,
Jesus is
calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ
Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:
My beloved
priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started
under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for
volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one
hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as
well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.
These apostles are
to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to
use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may
spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.
I will use this new
prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way
to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces
to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart
of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.
I am inviting My
beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.
I pour out the
great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the
flock.
This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His
Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:
1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the
Immaculate Heart.
2. For the Pope.
3. For all bishops of the world.
4. For all priests.
5. For all sisters and brothers in the
religious life.
6. For all members of the Shepherds of
Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
7. For all members of the Catholic
Church.
8. For all members of the human
family.
9. For all souls in purgatory.

Why do we refuse to listen to Mary and Jesus?
Mary is the Queen of Peace,
She warned us at Fatima.
Jesus has
asked us to be Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, over 25 years
ago.
Jesus asked
Fr. Carter to pray these prayers
27 years ago.

Why block Mary’s message?
Jesus did
the will of God, Mary did the will of God,
They didn’t
bail out when it got tough.
R.
Think of what little things, God asks of us today.
Jesus went to the cross, so we could live forever in heaven.
Pray! Pray!
Pray!
God calls
us.
Mary’s Message -
from the Rosary of August 27,
1996
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.
