Dear God, please help us to seek Your
will and discipline our will. We have
a free will to choose to do what God has
told us to do or to reject His will for
our own will. Others can effect us,
but ultimately we choose what we do.
Eve sinned and Adam was torn between
doing what God told him to do and
doing what Eve wanted him to do –
sin against God. He chose to disobey
God himself.
It is a mystery how we have original
sin, but this is the truth.
Romans 5: 2-14
it is through him, by faith, that we have been admitted into God’s favour in which we are living, and look forward exultantly to God’s glory. Not only that; let us exult, too, in our hardships, understanding that hardship develops perseverance, and perseverance develops a tested character, something that gives us hope, and a hope which will not let us down, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us. When we were still helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless. You could hardly find anyone ready to die even for someone upright; though it is just possible that, for a really good person, someone might undertake to die. So it is proof of God’s own love for us, that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by his death, we shall be saved through him from the retribution of God. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more can we be sure that, being now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. What is more, we are filled with exultant trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.
Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned. Sin already existed in the world before there was any law, even though sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Nonetheless death reigned over all from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sin was not the breaking of a commandment, as Adam's was. He prefigured the One who was to come . . .
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
R.
Love never dies – for all eternity we will
live in love in heaven if we love and
serve the Lord as He commands us to
do.
Love brings unity. In heaven we
have the beatific vision – having the
vision of God.
We must seek the virtues. We receive
the virtues of faith, hope and love in
baptism. We are to seek the increase
in these virtues. We can pray for
this increase and give our wills and
our lives to God. When we love God
with all our heart and all our soul
and all our being we will love
our neighbor more and more as
our brother and seek to obey
God to not hurt our relationship
with God and others –
Our actions in life should take us
to the goal of eternal happiness,
when man chooses to act in bad
habits, vices and deadly sins he
puts them before God and turns
his back on real happiness.
God intends us to be united in
this world – seeking unity with God
and unity among men. God has taught
us in the Shepherds of Christ about unity
and obedience – about praying in the
Mass and being an intercessor
praying for the priests, the Church and
the world.
The gift God has given to us
here has a responsibility with
us. To such a commission God intends
us to go out and spread this good
news. In baptism man receives this
commission, the Shepherds of Christ is to
help us to do this through prayer and spreading
the writing on the Mass, the rosary,
consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Jesus gave Fr. Carter the Ministries in which
we are to do this.
Jesus gave us the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart
of Jesus to encourage people to pray the
prayers before the Blessed Sacrament
praying for the priests, the Church
and the world –
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.end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart

22 Years Ago
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"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.
"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. 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."

The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ
"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:
'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...
'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.
'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'
"Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.
"As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

Mary appeared like this in Clearwater
December 17, 1996 to help spread

Shepherds of Christ Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3
The Father's Will for Us - Our Source of Peace
Pope John Paul II instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and reconciling community, cannot forget that at the source of her gift and mission of reconciliation is the initiative, full of compassionate love and mercy, of that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of love created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis 1:27: Psalms 8:4-8)…He created them so that they might live in friendship with Him and in communion with one another.
"God is faithful to His eternal plan even when man, under the impulse of the evil one (see Wisdom 2:24) and carried away by his own pride, abuses the freedom given to him in order to love and generously seek what is good, and (instead) refuses to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when man, instead of responding with love to God’s love, opposes Him and treats Him like a rival, deluding himself and relying on his own power, with the resulting break of relationship with the One who created him. In spite of this transgression on man’s part, God remains faithful in love.
"It is certainly true that the story of the Garden of Eden makes us think about the tragic consequences of rejecting the Father, which becomes evident in man’s inner disorder and in the breakdown of harmony between man and woman, brother and brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also significant is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable of the ‘prodigal son’; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in different ways, distance themselves from their father and cause a rift between them. Refusal of God’s fatherly love and of His loving gifts is always at the root of humanity’s divisions.
"But we know that God…like the father in the parable (of the prodigal son), does not close His heart to any of His children. He waits for them, looks for them, goes to meet them at the place where the refusal of communion imprisons them in isolation and division. He calls them to gather about His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and reconciliation.
"This initiative on God’s part is made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act of Christ, which radiates through the world by means of the ministry of the Church." 13

R.
Jesus told us the parable of the
10 Gold Coins in Luke 19.
A nobleman went to be king and
he went away giving his
servants 10 gold coins and told
them to trade –
When he returned he asked for
a report –
One traded and got 10 more and
the king said well done –
Another traded and got 5 more –
Then another said – I stored it
away and I was afraid of you –
The man to be king was not happy with
the man who stored it and he took
it away and gave it to the
prosperous servant –
God intends us to be prosperous with
the gifts He has given us.
God intends us to go out and to help
build the Kingdom of God –
A person can choose to work for
God as He is calling him in
his vocation and reach out
as He calls him –
Or he can sit and be full of
resentment and anger,
envy and pride and
waste all that time –
nursing his wounds –
God is calling us to be more and
more in His image and
likeness.
The scripture of the prodigal son
can help us see
We are created by God the Father –
We don't want to use this
life to squander the gifts
God has given –
listening to satan and
not working as God
has called us –
to die to our selfish ways
and be more and more in
His image and
likeness.
Joshua 22: 5
But take great care to practise the commandments and the Law which Moses, servant of Yahweh, has given you: to love Yahweh your God, always to follow his paths, to keep his commandments, to be loyal to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.'
Written February 26, 2016
That is why you must kill everything in you that is earthly: sexual vice, impurity, uncontrolled passion, evil desires and especially greed, which is the same thing as worshipping a false god; it is precisely these things which draw God's retribution upon those who resist. And these things made up your way of life when you were living among such people, but now you also must give up all these things: human anger, hot temper, malice, abusive language and dirty talk; and do not lie to each other. You have stripped off your old behaviour with your old self, and you have put on a new self which will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed in the image of its Creator; and in that image there is no room for distinction between Greek and Jew, between the circumcised and uncircumcised, or between barbarian and Scythian, slave and free. There is only Christ: he is everything and he is in everything.
R. The weak will –
We see that people can be addicted
to excitement and drama.
Jesus wants peace and love in
the hearts of men.
Satan wants jealousies, pride,
envy, stirring the pot,
lawlessness, not accepting
authority, drama and
attention.
God has a plan and He
asks for a commitment,
a covenant of love and
doing His will.
The person of weak will can give in
when the devil tempts them
and constantly cause problems
for themselves and can ignore
the plan of the Father
wanting to be in control
and in charge.
Jesus said yesterday – the
devil wants a person to plan
something else when they are
being called to do something
for God. So you see a conflict.
Think of Adam who had to choose
between God's will and the pressure
Eve was putting on him after
she sinned.
The devil wants this conflict,
he wants a person to be disobedient
to authority and do something
else.
God wants respect for the
authority He puts over us. God
doesn't want a person
challenging just authority, arguing
and then putting arguments why they
don't have to obey.
A person that has an addiction to
control, addiction to seeking pleasure
has to learn to control and discipline
themselves.
A child can learn after Halloween
they cannot eat and eat sucker
and candy after candy or they
will get sick.
We learn as Fr. Carter says – that God
calls us to do His will – not too much
of a good thing, not too little
but to do exactly as God calls us to do.
The will is so important – we cannot
give into ourselves all the time,
we must learn to discipline our
will. It isn't prudent to act
on every jealous feeling, every
inspiration or thought we have,
we must discern our actions,
pray about our actions – ask
ourselves what is God's will –
did the thought come from the
Holy Spirit, the evil spirit, our own thinking –
what is God's will for us.
Satan wants us enslaved to our
impulses.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, Alanon,
dysfunctional behavior – there are
12 steps –
They are:
THE TWELVE STEPS OF AA
Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery:
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,
that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than
ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human
being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all
these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed,
and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible,
except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we
were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our
conscious contact with God as we understood Him,
praying only for knowledge of His will for us and
the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps,
we tried to carry this message to alcoholics,
and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
R.
The third step is:
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.
The success comes in putting
your life and will in the Hands
of our higher power, God.
Surrendering our will to God,
trusting God completely.
God is there for us in our life – we
can give our lives to Him, He loves
us.
The Blue Books are the Mighty Medicine.
Song: A Song from Jesus
R. I must trust God and open myself
up to Him, that takes letting go
of control. If I only trust in
myself and try to control
everything, I will use a lot of
energy doing this and I will
not find my way to the help I
need from God.
This is where we have freedom
in living according to God's will.
Our freedom is in God –
He is higher than us
He is over us –
He is Divine.
We have a human nature.
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
R.
Because I give God my life and
my will – I still have responsibilities.
God gives us intelligence – we
need right reasoning for our
actions, we need to have a
goal of eternal happiness with
God, our actions should have
this goal in mind!
Many people's actions are based not
on right reasoning, but the deadly
sins, pride, anger, jealousy, envy,
also on bad attitudes, on resentment,
slothful behavior, dishonest reasoning,
addictions and fears.
We all have sufferings in
life – life has many problems
that are hard, but need to be
solved.
We pray for strength and
guidance and grace from
God to do His will and we
let go to His will.
We pray to live virtuously. We
pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We
seek the truth – our goal is relationship
with God and relationship according
to God's will. A person can live their
whole life – living to prove themselves
right. That becomes their god –
that they are right even when they
are wrong.
If we want God to work in
our lives, we need to turn our
will and life over to Him, we
need to ask for His guidance, we
need to be docile and truthful
about our faults and ask God
to help us to change them, to be willing
to let go of bad habits and bad
behavior patterns. We need to
subordinate our will to God's will,
not fight God.
When we pray for God's help with
a problem we can't try to force
our will to solve it, opposed to
what God would have us do.
We need to try to know ourselves.
We need to be willing to let go
of bad behavior patterns and
work on relationships with others.
God doesn't want a man to hold
out in anger against an innocent
man, because they are full of anger
from their past.
In the 12 Steps – the person whose
life has become unmanageable
because of addictions has to take the
4th step – take a fearless moral
inventory, they face themselves
and how they have offended God
and others and themselves – they
come clean – so they know themselves
and they share it with one person,
they call a sponsor.
A person who just talks to
themselves can justify their faults
and never admit them. What
a lonely life to need others but be
locked in a hidden tower inside.
We can blame innocent others for
our own actions.
So a person can deny they even
had resentful, hateful, ways
they looked at innocent others –
how could they get help for a
hard heart when they do this.
God wants us to grow to be the
person He wants us to be. The
more a person denies their faults
the more blind they become –
trying to force others to put
up with it –
In today's readings with Joseph –
we can ask ourselves how do we
treat people who we believe have
wronged us. A person that sees themselves
as the perfect model is not even
thinking about how to treat
others honestly.
We need to tell ourselves the
truth about our faults and
not think we are perfect. We
are not to be self-righteous
and make excuses for our
bad behaviors and blame others
when we are acting in bad
behavior.
We look at our good and bad habits.
We want the truth about ourselves.
In working the 12 steps – after
we recognize our faults we are
ready to ask God to remove
those faults, they call "defects
of character".
We want to let go of bad habits.
Fr. Carter made an examination
of conscience for 10 minutes
twice daily.
We take our spiritual pulse –
see where we are in our
hearts – are we loving – are
we obeying God's will – do we
have addictions of division
with persons God wants us to
work with. Are we afraid of
authority – so we are disobedient
to authority as a means to be
in control?
How is our will? Do we really
want God's will? The person that
knows God loves themselves as
God's creation. How is our
attitude – is it likened to Christ –
wants it to be
Look at today's readings.
We see that God did not
change His plan because Joseph's
brothers were jealous and tried to
take him out. How foolish they
were. God knows everything.
Saturday's Readings
Micah 7: 14-15, 18-20
With shepherd’s crook
lead your people to pasture,
the flock that is your heritage,
living confined in a forest
with meadow land all round.
Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old!
As in the days
when you came out of Egypt,
grant us to see wonders!What god can compare with you
for pardoning guilt
and for overlooking crime?
He does not harbour anger for ever,
since he delights in showing faithful love.
Once more have pity on us,
tread down our faults;
throw all our sins
to the bottom of the sea.
Grant Jacob your faithfulness,
and Abraham your faithful love,
as you swore to our ancestors
from the days of long ago.
Psalm 103: 1-4, 9-12
Bless Yahweh, my soul,
from the depths of my being, his holy name;
bless Yahweh, my soul,
never forget all his acts of kindness.He forgives all your offences,
cures all your diseases,
he redeems your life from the abyss,
crowns you with faithful love and tenderness;his indignation does not last for ever,
nor his resentment remain for all time;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve,
nor repay us as befits our offences.As the height of heaven above earth,
so strong is his faithful love for those who fear him.
As the distance of east from west,
so far from us does he put our faults.
Luke 15: 1-3, 11-32
The tax collectors and sinners, however, were all crowding round to listen to him, and the Pharisees and scribes complained saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ So he told them this parable:
Then he said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me." So the father divided the property between them. A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery.
‘When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch; so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs. And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them. Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father’s hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger! I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men." So he left the place and went back to his father.
‘While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. Then his son said, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the calf we have been fattening, and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast, because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And they began to celebrate.
‘Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing. Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about. The servant told him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound." He was angry then and refused to go in, and his father came out and began to urge him to come in; but he retorted to his father, "All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends. But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property—he and his loose women—you kill the calf we had been fattening."
‘The father said, "My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours. But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found." ’
R.
Our life is the story of the Prodigal
Son. We can squander our days
opposing the Father's will and
then what do we expect at the
end of our lives?
God the Father created us and
gave us talents to do His work –
to love one another – to love God
and put Him first!

Dear Friends,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.
If you read Fr. Joe's book like I did on the 13th you can see how awesome it is.
It helps me understand what is happening in the writings during the liturgical year.
It is so very good, it makes me so eager to live the liturgy in my life,
live in the liturgical year.Well we have sent over 13,000 of Fr. Joe's new cycle books since the beginning of November to priests and hierarchy
all over the world.It can enrich so many lives with the weekly sermon rooted in the Word, the Eucharist,
the liturgy,
the Mass,Baptism, love and unity.
When a priest uses the book weekly he focuses on the Bread of Life to feed the people.
Say a priest says 4 or 5 Masses weekly
Think of how many souls could be reached with the people attending Mass.Fr. Joe speaks of love and being a member of the body of Christ, living in relationships
all in the context of the scripture.We see salvation history and its ups and downs -
we see our calling from God
and we see our part in salvation history.God calls - we respond.
The body of Christ can help the world to raise up to greater perfection.
