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.  

               February 24, 2020 

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the Will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the Will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His Will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and rosary meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ Chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

                R. We know we are here to live
                as God wants us to do. We are
                to live according to God's will.
                We are to live by the commandments
                of God. God is teaching us how
                we are to live. The Holy Spirit
                guides us and helps us.

                    We certainly do not know
                how things will turn out.
                Life is promised here on earth
                to no man. One day we may be
                enjoying those we love and
                the next day some event can
                take them away or leave
                them sick.

                    We need to take our instructions
                from God.

                    We are sure God loves us and
                will help us on our journey.

                    People are to live in relationships
                and try to get along and love.
                Order is when we obey just
                authority under God.
 

A City on a Hill Shines to the World

February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. My life is the life inside that cannot be contained. It is bursting and budding forth. My life is the real life. To possess the life of Christ within your breast! Such power! I am the city set on a hill that will stand united and shine to this world. You at this Center will be this city. You will be the true Center that places the mark on this world.

The love of Christ, abounding deep within the breasts of all, will be the power and the might. Pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus. I will operate in the hearts of all there and minister to My sick world. I am the Heart of Jesus. I am on fire with love of each and every soul. When My love is found in all the hearts there, the light of God will shine to this world!

You are the city, set on a hill, that shines to the darkened world. I will light the world with the love of Jesus that shines in the hearts of those who are fed there. My light is so bright. My power is endless. You are the light to the dark world. You contain the mighty medicine to bring My sick ones to Me. You will bring so many back to Me and My intense love, burning so brightly for all!

I am the power. I am the might. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. I give Myself to you that you will live. You will radiate My presence from your very being. My light is the brightest light. I will live in the hearts of all who come to you for their feeding. Enkindle in them the love for My most Sacred Heart. It is on fire for love of you. It cannot be contained. It will live in all hearts who come to you to be fed.

You are the key to enkindle this burning love of Jesus in the hearts of so many. Many will know Jesus through your love of Me. Read these letters every day for I am truly speaking to you here. I love each child so dearly and want to have an intimate union with that child. Teach all about the burning love of Jesus. Read My messages with your heart on fire so you can tell all of My ardent love for them.

I long to be close to them. I am a person. I am God, on fire for love of My people. Bring all to the ardent love of Jesus. Mary is by My side constantly. Where I am, she is there. She wants all to be led to My ardent, longing love. Teach all about My love. Fill them so they are overflowing in their hearts. This is the mighty medicine. It is My letter of intense, ardent love for My people.

I am truly here, little ones. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I will live strongly in the hearts of all who come to you. You will be the key. Focus on your intense love of Me. Read My letters as a cookbook for intimacy with Me. My love waits for each person and I tell you here how to be close to Me. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire for love of you. I am longing for you to come and be with Me in silence. I will give you all you need.

I am the Alpha. I am the Omega. I am your all. I am God, one, true and magnificent, and I come to you with ardent love in Holy Communion and in the tabernacle. I am present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. I am waiting. Our love affair waits and it depends on you. I am there and I am waiting. You keep us apart.

Tell them how I long for them and have all they need. The love of Christ will light their city. You will stand as the lighted city in darkness. My love will be that by which you light this dark world. Oh, such power, such might! The love of God will reign in the hearts of all you touch. You are My vessel to draw this world to the love of Jesus.

Read and study My letters and be taught about My ardent love. I am Jesus Christ and I am teaching you about My love on fire for all. Come and be powered by the hand of God. My love will rock the world off its rocker when it reigns in the hearts of those who come to you. I love you so! You are My beloved. I will use you to light My dark world. You will shine as candles in the darkest night and you will be the instruments I use to light their wicks. I am God and I love them so dearly!

This is My love for all. Power and might will shine forth on the land. I am the brightest light. Look into the light for the light. Look into the arms of Jesus. I will light this world through you. Alleluia. And the angels sang and the choirs of heaven were heard for the earth proclaimed the Love of Jesus. Alleluia

       

I Died For You

February 23, 1994

Jesus: I want this emotion in the letter I told you to write. I, Jesus, Son of God, talk to you with such emotion! I am He Who died a brutal death for love of you. I died for you! I love you this much, to give My Life! Yet you couldn't even write when I asked you. You must do exactly as I say. I do not want you ever to say no to Me!

I have such emotion! I am telling you how I died a brutal death and you, My child, did not write for Me! What more can I do? What more do they want? You put others before Me or you would do as I command. I want you to do as I tell you every moment.

I am the Lord. I am the Son of God. Such emotion I let you feel for My death. I died. I am a person. I was human and I died for you. Think of yourself giving your life for someone and they do not care. What can I do to shake you? What more can I say? I am here and I am loving you and pleading with you to listen to Me with this emotion that God is telling you. I am Jesus. I died for you. I gave My life for you and do you even listen, My little sweet one? You didn't want to write it for My children. When I give you a command, you write. When I say do, you do. Selflessness! I am pushing you because I need your total surrender. Do not ever deny My writing to My loved ones. You have a responsibility. I don't care where you are when I talk. I am God and I talk to you. I am so present to you.

Listen. I need your selflessness. I need your surrender. I need your life, given for love of Me and Me alone. I need you to be the light that shines on the hill, that does not go in and out but is constant in My love. I need your commitment. I need your attention at every moment. I am feeding you My words every moment on paper and in your hand. You must obey Me exactly as I command. No questions, only action. I want action. Now! You write when I say write. I don't care where you are. You worry not for others. I am giving you the mighty medicine. Would you tell the doctor to wait? I am God and I do not ever want to wait while you play a safe game with Me. When I say do something, I want you to do it. You are My beloved and I am filling you with fire.

I am pushing you to do that which I need done. Do not ever stop to look around. Keep your focus on Me and My commands for you. I am using you every moment. I must be able to count on your constant consent to do My will immediately! I am calling you to this work and I want you to comply. I love you ardently. I am so full of love for you. Focus on this and this alone. I am Who am. I am God, child. Do not ever hesitate. Do not doubt or think. You must act as I act in you or My work will not be done.

Be selfless about My commands. You will do My work. You will spread My words of love and create emotion with My songs and I will use you to bring My flock to My love. I love every soul! You must spread My love.

Note: (Meditating on the Crucifixion) Going to Mass at the seminary at 8:00 a.m. was rushed. He said to me, "Where are you going, child. Do you not feel My presence with you?" A calm came over me. Then He started lamenting how He died for us, how He is a true person and He loves us so much. He said, "I died for you."

R. He gave His life for us. He is the little lamb led to the slaughter out of love for us. He said, "I need you to do this work now and I am pushing you." He was so upset! He died for us. He loves us so much as to give His life.

He begged me to spread His love, to tell others how He, bloodied, bruised and beaten, gave us His life.

Jesus: I am God. I am God. I died. Spread My love now! Now! Now! Now! Now! I am begging you not to hold back! Read these letters now, read and learn about My love. I beckon you to speak of My love. Shout it from the high roof. Proclaim it in the cities. Jesus Christ died for love of you and He is risen! I am He Who is God and I died for you!

Listen and preach My love and emotion here. Priests will create little cities, little cities in each church to spread the light of Christ to this sick world. Each priest can create his own little city, a powerhouse of God's love. God has all the power. His power is endless. It never runs out. It is might. You have no power except through Him. Churches filled with the intimate love of Jesus will be powerhouses.

I am God, My little ones. God can do all things. I can make your cities light up the darkness. I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. I am the light of life. I am God! I can do all things. I want to act in you. You need to be in constant union with Me. My priests, you need to be selfless. My soul and yours are one. I want to act in you.

Hold not back. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me.

21 Years Ago

February 23, 1999, 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: Five years later I ask this of you, My beloved ones.

First: Every day to pray to Me as your Spouse, consecrating your hearts to Jesus and Mary and praying the prayer "A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul."

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.

  

Jesus: I ask My Shepherds of Christ apostles and as many as possible to pray in this way for this novena praying for the special coming of the Holy Spirit.

Think of yourselves as My spouse dwelling in Our pure and holy Hearts united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

FOR THIS NOVENA:

I ask you to gather at 6:20 every evening.

I ask you to recognize yourself as a body and realize others are praying with you at 6:20 p.m.

I STRESS it is important for as many as possible to pray at 6:20 p.m. If you cannot pray at 6:20 p.m., I ask you to stop if possible and reflect as I will indicate later, but as many as possible are asked to pray. You are a body praying. You must feel this unity praying to your God as the people of My Movement, the Church and the world. You are gathered in one place, the world dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Begin the novena February 25, 1999, this will continue until I tell you to stop.

It will be important to notify as many as possible by phone of the beginning of this novena. If you have not been notified you must begin whenever you become aware of this novena.

It will follow as indicated:

Jesus: The Florida Center will pray non-stop this way until I direct differently. I also ask the Morrow Center to pray uninterruptedly which means someone should be there every night. China will pray every day in China at 6:20 p.m. except on Sundays. They are asked to pray at 6:20 p.m. if possible in the car.

This day of holy prayer on Sunday by My handmaids of China will please Me very much.

Think of being united with all others praying as a body, as were the Apostles at Pentecost. Pray for the special coming of the Holy Spirit. Think of yourself as My spouse dwelling in the pure Heart of Mary and in My Sacred Heart. Feel the deep union of your hearts in Me.

Begin by singing, "Come Holy Ghost" (verse 1). Say, "I want to make a Spiritual Communion." "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love." (This will unite you in Our Hearts.) Cast out Satan: "We cast Satan into the fires of hell, far from us, our families, our Movement, the Church and the world in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Begin the Holy Spirit Novena, say all prayers. After the novena, read the appropriate meditation. For example: period 1, day 1; period 1, day 2; etc. This will continue until further indicated. It is enormously important that you feel as a body praying together, asking for the special coming of the Holy Spirit. After the meditation say: "We consecrate the Movement, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary." Ask that the Blood of Jesus be spread on the Movement, the Church and the world. Begin the 6:30 p.m. prayer service as usual.

Jesus: I ask you to print here the format used in Florida for the 6:30 p.m. prayer service.

 

  6:30 p. m. Prayer Service

(as from the October 17, 1998 Daily Message)

1. You are to begin praying:
   Dear Father in the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary, with all the angels and the saints and the souls in purgatory, we join in one mind and one heart and ask the Holy Spirit to come to all the world in a special way, especially to our priests. We pray all prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Church and the world. We beg for grace and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven for offending one another. We love You God, help us.

2. Sing A Song from Jesus.

3. Then begin the prayers of the Good Shepherd (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).

4. Then I ask you to sing The Rosary song and begin the rosary. I wish if possible that you use the Rosary Books and the Rosary Aves, but the important thing is to pray the prayers and the rosary at 6:30 p.m., if possible. (Rosary mysteries need to be according to the Rosary Novena.)

5. Read the Ten Commandments.

6. Read the Daily Message for the day.

---

Jesus: If it is impossible for some apostles to follow this schedule at certain times, I ask them to stop at 6:30 p.m., give their hearts to Jesus and Mary with everyone in love, ask for the special coming of the Holy Spirit and ask for grace for the priests, and the renewal of the Church and the world. If time permits, consecrate the Movement, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and ask that the Blood of Jesus be spread on the Movement, the Church and the world.

I ask the apostles that cannot pray as indicated on certain days of the novena at 6:20 p.m. to:

1. Say the Holy Spirit Novena during the day and include the intentions as indicated.

2. Say the Shepherds of Christ Prayers and the appropriate mysteries of the rosary.

On February 25, 1999, begin the Joyful Mysteries. On Thursday, China and Florida must listen to the appropriate mysteries. I wish them strictly to follow the Rosary Novena and all others to follow the appropriate mysteries on the appropriate day.

Some have not followed the appropriate day as was indicated for the Rosary Novena so I ask that on February 25, 1999, you begin this schedule for the Rosary Novena. All must follow directly everyday. Rosaries on Sunday afternoons will be out of the scheduled order to accommodate Florida and China on Thursday nights. Therefore you must say the appropriate mysteries on Sunday at 6:20 p.m. if possible.

I ask you as a body to pray the Rosary Novena as follows:

Jesus: I ask that all apostles adhere fervently to this novena. This is for all intentions of the Shepherds of Christ including intentions given to Father Carter, John and the list I give to my messenger.

I ask all apostles to fervently say the Holy Spirit Novena daily and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers.

This message is for my apostles in the Shepherds of Christ and others wishing to follow it.

It is important you stay united everyday in your Morning Offering and see yourselves as one body pleading for the Church and the world and the priests. Consecrate the hearts of all in the Movement, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart of Mary and pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on the Movement, Church and the world all through the day.

Cast the devil into hell and pray to the angels, especially St. Michael and your guardian angels, to protect you.

Guard this message, circulate it to the whole Movement by mail and by fax as soon as possible.

Phone coordinators should call beginning today.

Please print the Holy Spirit Novena here once again and see to the printing of the Holy Spirit Novena booklet immediately. Often sing the song, Come Holy Spirit and the A Song from Jesus. Sing, My shepherds, sing. We love you to sing the old songs, especially Holy God, We Praise Thy Name.
