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.

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord

make me an instrument
of your peace.
Where there is hatred
let me sow love
Where there is injury/pardon
where there is doubt/faith
where there is despair/hope
where there is darkness/light
and where there is sadness/joy.

O Divine Master
grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving
that we receive
it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned
and it it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.

Call to Apostles

Excerpt from the beginning of the October 13, 1996 Rosary

Jesus speaks:
    I am calling you, My special apostles, to this farm on this day of October 13th, 1996. I will fill your hearts with the fire of My love, and the fire of this love will spread across the earth and many hearts will know My love and be touched through you. Open wide your heart during this rosary that I may speak to you and tell you of My burning love for you. I am giving to you an abundant sharing in My life. Open your heart. I am knocking at the door of your heart. You must not close your heart. Open wide that I can come in and fill you with My divine love.

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

      
   

The Seven Sorrows

February 22, 1995

  

 

The Prophecy of Simeon

Mary, Joseph and the child Jesus went to the temple. Simeon, the prophet, inspired by the Holy Spirit, met them and told Joseph and Mary of the great sufferings of Jesus and Mary. He told Mary that a sword would pierce her heart. From that point on, Mary ever remembered the prophecy of Simeon whenever she beheld her child. When she looked at His little body, even as an infant, she knew He would suffer. Every time she clothed Him and watched Him at play, her heart was torn in her chest as she knew what He would suffer. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

    

The Flight into Egypt

Joseph was told by the angel to flee. Joseph, Mary and the child Jesus had to flee because of what might happen to Jesus. They had to pack for a long stay. The child Jesus was so small! They left on their journey, hearts full of fear, trying to protect Jesus. They were forced to flee into Egypt.

  

Jesus Is Lost, In the Temple

Imagine the sufferings in Mary's heart when she realized the child Jesus was not with them. Think of how it would be to lose your child and not know where he was or if anything happened to him. With sorrow in their hearts, Mary and Joseph returned to Jerusalem to look for the child Jesus. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary!

  

Jesus Carries His Cross

Song: See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant child. See the child's Heart beat so tenderly, the Savior of the world!
See the eyes of Jesus and Mary as they met on Calvary. Mary's Heart knew Jesus' Heart so well! From the first moment of conception and throughout His life, Mary was so connected with Jesus and now she peered into His eyes. The crown of thorns adorned His Head! Blood ran down His face! A heavy cross on His back! Wounded, His whole body covered with bleeding wounds! And her whole life flashed before her, the life that she had spent with Jesus. This was the beloved child that she had held in her arms when Simeon told Mary that 'a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!'

  

Jesus Dies on the Cross

Mary stood under Jesus' cross as He was put to death. The child that she had held in her arms as Simeon prophesied, And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary! Now Jesus is dead on the cross! He gave His flesh, He gave His blood so that we might be with Him forever in heaven. He held not back. He gave His all. He calls out to us this day to see through the eyes of His mother as she appears and calls out with a Heart of great love, "Return to the love of my Son! He is with you this day. He remains with you, no less present than the day that He hung on the cross, in the Eucharist. He longs for you to come and be with Him. He is in your brother. How can you not love your brother when Jesus died for your brother?"

Her Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. What came forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the church. He lives with us this day in the Church. He gives to us His sacraments, the source of His life! He gives to us the Sacrament of Penance whereby any sin that we commit can be taken away through the priest. He wants us to be so close to Him! He gives us everything to be close to Him. But we see with such limited vision only those things that are right before our face, when the true reality is that which we don't see with our eyes, the reality of the invisible divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the consecrated Host! This is reality! This is our life! This is our power! This is God! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

  

Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross

If we ever doubted for one second that we were loved, we could visualize the picture of Mary as she sat beneath the cross with the lifeless, battered, bruised and bloodied body of her Son in her arms, the same child that she held when Simeon prophesied her suffering. He gave His last breath. He gave the last beat of His Heart. He gave His all! This is the way He complied with the Will of the Father. He came to show us the way. He died in perfect peace. To His death He was in peace because He knew the Father's love. The Father loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son for love of us! The Spirit descended upon the Virgin Mary and the Word was made flesh! The love of the Two Hearts! Such immense love beating for us!

In all love there is suffering. Her Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

  

Jesus Is Locked in the Tomb

And now Jesus, His body lifeless, is locked in a tomb! What cold reality for Mary to realize that His body is now gone! A stone separated her from her Son!

He gave His last breath! He gave the last beat of His Heart for love of each one of us! And she comes to us this day with her sweet, beautiful voice and she asks us to go to her Son and love Him! How can we refuse Jesus who spread His arms and gave His life for each and every one of us? How can we not trust Him when He loved us so much that He allowed them to tear His flesh, to crown Him with piercing thorns and, lastly, to hang Him on a cross? He truly gave His life for us! He, truly God, is with us this day, the same as the day He died on the cross, in the tabernacle! And we take it so lightly! Death has no power over Him! Locked in the tomb for three days, He rose triumphant on the third day as He had foretold. He comes to give us life. He gives us the sacrament of Baptism that initiates us into His life, that makes us children of God and heirs of heaven if we remain in the state of grace. He asks two things: love of God and love of one another! He came to show us the way and His way is love. To His death on the cross He loved each one of us! He calls out to each one of us here today to be His soldiers, to march on a world that has forgotten God, that has forgotten what it is like to love! It is a battle to live in this world. But the battle is won with hearts that are filled with His love, empowered by the grace and might that He pours out in the Eucharist. He calls out for us to come to the Eucharist and to the tabernacle and be fed with His very flesh and blood. To feed on Divine Life, the greatest nourishment, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God! This is the love He gives. This is the love He asks us to share.

     

   

From the February 3, 2004 Daily Message

Messenger:      Many people in the world live a Godless existence.

                        The first principle and foundation of St. Ignatius Spiritual
                            Exercises is

Man is created to praise, reverence and 
serve God our Lord, and by this means 
to save his soul.

                        The emphasis of so many is to build their
                            own little kingdom. They can "step-on",
                            control, do what ever is necessary to build
                            a kingdom of might for themselves.

                        People can be controlled and what is
                            important is how an individual can
                            build a dynasty of power and money
                            for themselves.

                        The rich should be richer, many think
                            to promote their own kingdom centered
                            in greater wealth for themselves.

                        There is indeed so much money and talents
                            in the world, but is it used for the
                            honor and glory of God?

                        If those at the top become "power mongers" —
                            not driven to serve the divine God
                            and do His will for His honor and
                            glory — where does control end?

                        A person enters religious life and subjects
                            oneself to the rule of the community,
                            the overall focus is to serve the
                            religious order to help promote
                            God's Kingdom, to lead souls to
                            heaven.

                        Here is a prayer from St. Ignatius —

     

                            

TAKE, LORD, AND RECEIVE

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.

Messenger:      Here is a prayer that Jesus gave me —

                            Prayer for Union —

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.

Messenger:      A person can begin a business with the
                            desire to serve others, to be honest
                            and loving, as a business grows
                            the business is run by managers,
                            do they share this ideal of love
                            and service to promote God's Kingdom,
                            to use their talents for this?

                        There should not be greed, control, envy, lack of
                            love amongst the managers. They should not 
                            be involved in control just for the sake of 
                            trying to control somebody, for their own power.
                            Their purpose should be to help build the 
                            kingdom of God.

                        Can a little business become a big
                            business, in today's world, built
                            on love?

                        God created all men and He gave them
                            a free will. He wants us to love Him. 
                            We have a free will which allows us 
                            to love Him or not to love Him.

                        Many people today are so willful they
                            don't go to church, they disobey
                            the ten commandments

                        - - - - - -

                        I speak of purity, I do not want to displease
                            God, I want to be more
                            perfected to live to promote God's Kingdom.

  

Genesis 1: 27

God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.

 

February 3, 2004 message continues

Messenger:      God first loved us.

  

John 3:16

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.

Messenger:      There are so many singers, athletes,
                            big business men,
                            people making tapes, writing books,
                            etc...

                        Many wish to
                            "create their own little kingdom"
                            What is the basic thought in this person?
                            Do they live by the ten commandments?
                            The first commandment states:
                                  1. I, the Lord, am your God. You 
                                      shall not have other gods besides me.

                        When Mary appeared December 17, 1996 in
                            Clearwater, Florida — the day they
                            sent the Red Rosary book
                            from the printer, I received the
                            message December 19, 1996, from Mary —
                            You have made money your god —

  
December 19, 1996 

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

Excerpt from September 6, 2001 

Jesus speaks:        You must pray for your donors.

                        I appeared and my mother appeared

                            for the whole world.

                        The apparition is not appreciated.

                        The fact you cannot even make

                            the rent payment for the

                            building is proof.

                        So much money in the world and the

                            state of Florida.

                        Look at your news on television.

                        Look at what the news is on the
                            television.

                        MARY HAS APPEARED ON THE
                            BUILDING FOR 5 YEARS AND
                            YOU DO NOT EVEN TAKE 
                            NOTICE.

                        It is not the responsibility of 100
                            people to support such a vision.

                         It is a gift from God.

                         This shows you the focus of men
                            and your news.

                         Your eyes are blind.

                         I ask today September 6, 2001 to

                             see Our images and to help

                             do what We have asked you to do.

                         These messages are important.

                         Because of these prayers your world

                             is a better place.

                         If B&M closes and the printing stops -

                             your world will be affected.

                        Again I repeat, these revelations and

                            materials are for the world.

                        Mary appears the Lady clothed in gold

                            for the world.

                        Very, very few are helping to do what I ask.

                        My movement is to help the priests, the
                            Church and the world, it is a gift.

                        Because of My movement, the world is a
                            better place.

                        You will feel the effects if the printing stops.

                        I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I speak here.

                            My children would any sign move your hearts?

                            After I appeared at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Carter, S.J.

October 13, 1917

    I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)


NOTE:

17. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to 
    Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven
(Rockford: TAN 
    Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). p.7.

Mary speaks:      I tell you that you need to consecrate your
                                hearts to Our two Hearts.

                            I tell you to listen.

                            For those who block the message, they block
                                me and my Son Jesus.

                            These messages and visions are gifts given
                                by God.

                            They are given to help lead the souls to heaven.

                            The messages given to Father Carter to begin
                                Shepherds of Christ was to help renew the
                                Church and the world.

                            Father Carter a Jesuit priest received the following
                                messages in 1994.

                            Father Carter was told to begin the Shepherds of
                                Christ Movement.

                            Here are the messages Jesus gave to him.

                            Despite persecution and suffering he lived
                                the last 6 years of his life doing all
                                he could to further the movement...

Mary speaks:      I want the Bishops to consecrate their dioceses
                                to my Immaculate Heart. My Son Jesus
                                wants the Bishops to consecrate their dioceses
                                to His Sacred Heart.

Jesus speaks:     It is My desire that the Bishops of America and
                                the Bishops of the world entrust their dioceses 
                                to My Most Sacred Heart and the Heart of My
                                Mother Mary. I desire they encourage
                                the devotion to Our two Hearts in all
                                dioceses and all Churches. I desire
                                this with all My Heart. I am the Sacred
                                Heart of Jesus, you will not have peace
                                in the world until more listen to Me
                                and comply to these wishes. I want to 
                                be the King and Center of all Hearts.

                            I desire the picture of My Heart and My Mother's
                                heart and or statues be placed in the churches.
                                When a Church is consecrated/enthroned to
                                Our two Hearts they will grow in greater
                                holiness.
                                I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
                                I will Reign on the earth.

                            Why are you so resistant to listen to Me
                                and follow My requests.

                            How do I deliver a message to you?

                            You will not even take notice of the
                                sign given on the building in
                                Florida.

                            The Fatima message must be observed.

                            You must make reparation to Our
                                two Hearts.

                            I give to you the Shepherds of Christ Prayers.

                            I directed Father Carter how to compile
                                these prayers for the priests, and the
                                renewal of the Church and the world.

                            Here is a message I sent on December 20, 1993.
                            I came knocking, with the following writing.
                                    "Angels will read the Message"

                                I came in light.

                                I deliver this message, but you do not hear
                                    Me...

Jesus speaks:      This mailing could majorly help to change the
                                face of the earth and help bring to completion
                                the mission Mary began at Fatima.

                            You do not hear the voice of the Good Shepherd
   
                                    in My writings and works.

                            You are not open.

                            You will not even look at Mary on the building.

                            What sign would get you to take notice?

February 3, 2004 message continues

Messenger:     Is our world turning Godless — more and more
                            every day as people create their own little kingdoms.

                        Look at the story of the Pharaoh and Moses and Rameses —

                        The Ten Commandments is a good movie to watch.

                        There were all the plagues and they still
                            wouldn't listen.

                        Moses' people were small in number compared to how
                            many Rameses had.

                        There was a dynasty of wealth.
                            Some people were treated like slaves.

                        The cry of Moses for the captives was
                            "Let my people go"

                        Today I cry to you.

                        The devil is a slippery serpent.

                        More and more, some singers and athletes — are almost
                            worshiped by some people. Some people
                            skip Church on Sunday,
                            sometimes to play sports in a favorite place or
                            watch a big game on television —

                            Many rich are getting richer creating little
                        dynasties of power, using all their money for
                        their own power and glory.

                                 What about this first principle

 Man is created to praise, reverence 
   and serve God our Lord, and by this 
   means to save his soul.

                            Do we focus on the life here after?

                            Do we give into more and more control?

                            Do we trust in God and rely on His might?

                        What do some television shows on control and
                            survival teach people about
                            life? Are these truthful?
                            Are they the way God wants things to be?

                        Do people think examination of conscience is
                            a thing of the past?

                        Do people rationalize their actions and
                            not admit it when they sin?

                        Is satan so sneaky that once good intentioned 
                            people can be swayed so as to try to create
                            kingdoms of wealth for their personal gain only?
                       Do they then forget about service and love of
                            others as a common goal for what
                            their company once stood for?

                        Do we love old people and respect them
                            as God wants us to?
                            Do we recognize the wisdom of many
                            elderly or are we so focused on our
                            immediate knowledge of details and
                            building a kingdom here below — we forget about
                            the ten commandments and the Word of God.

                            Are the money and talents of many in today's
                        world used for the honor and glory of God.

                            Are colleges and universities being run
                        by professors "out-for-themselves" —
                        teaching people to be "out-for-themselves" —
                        or do we see ourselves as promoting God's
                        kingdom — love of one another and
                        telling others about the love of God?
                        Are we concerned about the good of the human race and pleasing God?

                        How do we conduct business?

                        Do colleges and universities and teachers promote 
                            oneness and love of God?

                            Are we out for the mighty buck —
                                for ourselves?

                            If those teaching others ignore the
                                ten commandments and are Godless
                                we soon have more and more people "out-
                                for-themselves", ignoring the ten commandments
                                and God's Word.

                        Teachers — teach others their ways.

                        If there are so many in the world that are
                            Godless, if it is unacceptable by many to say
                            grace before meals in many circles and say the
                            name of God and pray — we go more
                            and more into a Godless, self-focused
                            society.

                        Where does it end?

                                Some Singers —
                                Some Athletes —
                                Some TV Talk hosts —

                        So many out to promote themselves.

                        The rich get richer,

                        The world is taught more this egotistical —
                            Godless way by others acting this way.

                        The sunday gods rule in many men's hearts
                            in competition with the Almighty Divine God.

                        Some children are taught about singers, actors,
                            athletes etc as gods from an early
                            age.

                        So much wealth — it is abundant in
                            America.

                        I remember a message God gave me long
                            ago to reach Southern Florida — He
                            said we had not reached Southern Florida
                            and it had hurt our work. This was about 1998.
                            June, 1998.

                        So far we have had no more help reaching
                            southern Florida with prayer chapters
                            reaching those people and begging for funds —

                        We have not gotten this message of Mary
                            appearing on the building to Southern
                            Florida.
                        My first rosaries (3) were in Southern Florida —
                            June 1995, Naples, Boca Raton, Del Ray Beach.

                        God is All Powerful.

                        Do you remember Moses?

                        Do you remember how God divided the sea?
  

                        How do you think the Sacred Heart of Jesus
                            will reign in men's hearts as Mary and
                            Jesus have promised?

                        Many servants, handmaids and apostles have
                            not answered God's call.

                        We cannot do the work He has asked us to do
                            to help renew the Church and the world
                            because people do not answer His
                            call — even after Mary appears daily
                            on the building and Shepherds of Christ 
                            have the loan on the building.

                            We do not have any donations to send the
                        Priestly Newsletter Book III to the priests.

                        We have set up our novitiate in Cincinnati
                        but it is a calling from God to be a Shepherds of
                        Christ servant, handmaid, apostle.
                        It takes grace to answer that call —
                        Fr. Carter prayed for vocations to all 7 categories
                        at Mass every day.

                        When people answer Jesus' call they come to
                        serve in this mission, not to have their
                        own plan, their own message, their
                        own way of life.

                        We pray very much before the Blessed
                        Sacrament in the Shepherds of Christ Movement,
                        we attend daily Mass, we pray on the hour for the 
                        needs of the Movement, for the renewal of the Church 
                        and the world.

                        We try to get people to pray the morning offering.

                        We try to get the rosaries in the hands
                            of school children.

                        We try to begin prayer chapters all over
                            the world in praying for the priests,
                            the Church and the world.

                        We try to get people to consecrate their
                            homes and themselves and their
                            families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
                            and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

                        We try to get Fr. Carter's Priestly Newsletter
                            Books in the hands of 86,000 priests.

                        There are more Ministries given to me
                            and Fr. Carter to help renew the
                            Church and the world.

                        This is what God has told us to do from the
                            Building of the 2 Hearts/The Virgin Mary
                            building in Florida.

  

  

February 3, 2004 message continues

Messenger:     There is so much sex and sin in the
                            world — disobedience to the 10 commandments —
                            greed — Godlessness.

                        Godlessness is a problem — many people who were
                            once part of a Church rarely examine
                            their conscience, or rarely go to Church
                            anymore, or take their children
                            to Church.

                        Some religious schools only focus
                            on academics and give little
                            focus to God.

                        The world is so focused on money and
                            fame as power.

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
   

FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.
   

SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

146. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address which Christ our Lord makes to all His servants and friends whom He sends on this enterprise, recommending to them to seek to help all, first by attracting them to the highest spiritual poverty, and should it please the Divine Majesty, and should He deign to choose them for it, even to actual poverty. Secondly, they should lead them to a desire for insults and contempt, for from these springs humility.

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

From Today's Readings

1 Corinthians 15: 1-11

    I want to make quite clear to you, brothers, what the message of the gospel that I preached to you is; you accepted it and took your stand on it, and you are saved by it, if you keep to the message I preached to you; otherwise your coming to believe was in vain. The tradition I handed on to you in the first place, a tradition which I had myself received, was that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried; and that on the third day, he was raised to life, in accordance with the scriptures; and that he appeared to Cephas; and later to the Twelve; and next he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still with us, though some have fallen asleep; then he appeared to James, and then to all the apostles. Last of all he appeared to me too, as though I was a child born abnormally. 
    For I am the least of the apostles and am not really fit to be called an apostle, because I had been persecuting the Church of God; but what I am now, I am through the grace of God, and the grace which was given to me has not been wasted. Indeed, I have worked harder than all the others—not I, but the grace of God which is with me. Anyway, whether it was they or I, this is what we preach and what you believed.

   

Luke 5: 1-11

    Now it happened that he was standing one day by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressing round him listening to the word of God, when he caught sight of two boats at the water’s edge. The fishermen had got out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats—it was Simon’s—and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 
    When he had finished speaking he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water and pay out your nets for a catch.’ Simon replied, ‘Master, we worked hard all night long and caught nothing, but if you say so, I will pay out the nets.’ And when they had done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tear, so they signalled to their companions in the other boat to come and help them; when these came, they filled both boats to sinking point. 
    When Simon Peter saw this he fell at the knees of Jesus saying, ‘Leave me, Lord; I am a sinful man.’ For he and all his companions were completely awestruck at the catch they had made; so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners. But Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on it is people you will be catching.’ Then, bringing their boats back to land they left everything and followed him.
