R. In the case where there was the lack of
faith Jesus said "I did not work
any miracles there because of
their lack of faith" –
Mark 6: 4-6
And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is despised only in his own country, among his own relations and in his own house'; and he could work no miracle there, except that he cured a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for all the gifts You give in
our lives. Thank You for this day today –
Our Lord worked miracles of healing while
He was on earth. God is all powerful, all Mighty.
He raised Lazarus from the dead. It is wonderful
to us to read the miracles that Jesus performed –
We can marvel at Jesus who fed 5,000 from
a few loaves and fish –
So too we can be so thankful that God gives us
the priest and the 7 sacraments. That God
gives us a sharing in Divine Life in baptism
and that Jesus comes to us, truly present, in
the Eucharist. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to open
our eyes to see the gifts God has given us
and to know Him more and more.
Dear Jesus we pray for the priests, the Church
and the world as You asked Fr. Carter to do.
You have called us to spread these prayers and
we want men to pray them – Please Jesus
help us now to do this.
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."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
R. When God gives to man a title to be in authority
over others – he has a responsibility before God
to live out what God has called him to be.
Wearing a title and ignoring the responsibility
is testing God when He considers that person
to lead others to building up the Kingdom of God.
When God gives us a certain talent to use
for His work it is a gift He has given
and it brings with it a responsibility
before God.
God has established order in all He
does. God operates in order.
Knowing one's place is important to God.
God cannot be disordered. So when a man
is given a responsibility before God and he
does not live that responsibility he is not
operating in the order God has ordained
and not only has he thrown off all those
who come under him, but he, further, when
he discredits authority above him and operates
out of order with those under him, has caused the
disruption that satan designs to work
against God's plan.
God intends the man of great talents to
use his talents for the betterment of the
Kingdom of God and to generously use his
talents to help those under Him. Men are
not to horde the things God has given in
stinginess to deprive what God wants
to happen with gifts given to them.
When God gives the gift of this Movement,
the apparitions in Clearwater, the writings
of Fr. Carter and the Blue Books and Rosaries
they were given to help to renew the Church
and the world and to pray for the priests.
Men called to do this work are honored by
God and given a responsibility to operate
in order to help the world to see the
awesomeness of the gifts given in baptism,
the Eucharist, the priest to man. To
give to the world the truth God has given
to us and has been entrusted in our
hands to give to others. It is a responsibility
of one who has been called a leader,
an Apostle, a Servant and Handmaid of
the Good Shepherd to live their
responsibility before God.
It is wrong for the man under authority
and given a position of leadership, himself,
to hide facts from the authority for power
and control and to tell men under him
to hold back from the authority so he
can rule, dishonorably, in disorder,
for brute dominance for dominance
sake. Further where he was called by
God to teach order and responsibility
to those under him, instead he
opposed the order, horded the needed
materials and taught other men, as a leader,
to disobey and disrespect the authority
over him for seeking dominance for
dominance sake.
Jesus: A man to be a disciple of Mine must be
a listener first. I have a plan that is
not comprehended by men and yet, I
honor them in giving such a position
to man. But like Eve in the Garden she
wanted to be equal to God so she
obeyed the promptings of satan and
disobeyed God.
It is not up to God to even try to explain to man
His Divine Plan, nor in their minds can they
understand it and yet entrusting to you
such a marvelous gift the disorder
of some have worked to cause the
withering that has occurred to the gift
I have given.
Gifts are given to be used for the building
of My Kingdom and for the men to help
them attain eternal salvation. Only
satan would work in some against
such a gift given.
A man is to know his place. I operate
in order, to cause disorder when I am
trying to establish order in the building
of My Kingdom will not go good for
the man who has worked against
My Plan. I operate to build My Kingdom
and I operate to be heard.
The lesson of the Shepherds of Christ is a
lesson about love. The love of My Sacred
Heart – the lesson is about obedience
to authority – the lesson is about
unity and working in order to bring
unity to the whole world in spreading
devotion to Our Two Hearts and
teaching men about the sacraments,
the Church, the body of Christ.
A man has a free will to obey God or
disobey God. No man can force one
who disobeys and sees no consequences
for himself and others because he
has chosen to work against My plan.
I am God, I am all powerful,
I do not work in this chaos that
satan sows to tear apart a plan
that is such a gift. When a
machine breaks down – men go to find
the culprit for why it does not
function. I have given a mighty machine
here for the renewal of the Church
and the world.
One broken bolt can stop a whole
process when it is in the main
stream of the machine and so with
satan he works as close to the top
as he can to dismantle the whole
operation.
A superior serving the work of satan
means nothing in eternal salvation,
but your decisions opposing God and
wearing a title, influencing others to
follow you and blocking My Plan
will be judged accordingly.
I am Jesus, I have spoken.

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.
What are you doing to help this coming election in the United States.
