R. Jesus carried the cross, Jesus carried
the cross by Himself until they made
Simon of Cyrene to help Him.
R. We see that we carry many of our
burdens in suffering inside. Others
may help us a lot, but each of us
have our own suffering.
In reading the scriptures, it
said in John
"Jesus was led away, and carrying the
cross by himself, went out to what
is called the Place of the Skull
(in Hebrew, Golgotha)." John 19:
We think and relate and we have
memories inside, sometimes very deep
memories we have in relating to others.
Because of sufferings in relationships
it may be hard to go through something
similar with someone else and they
may not understand us or we may
need to heal from a past relationship
to trust another. We may try to open
ourselves up to others to try to get
someone to understand, but that is
how it is with us – no one can completely
understand how we are inside, but
Jesus.
Dear Jesus, we walk this
barren
desert,
sometimes,
and follow Your
steps on the way to Calvary – sometimes
we make our own loneliness and
trouble by isolating
and not asking
others to help us for what we need.
God has a plan for all of us and
when He wants someone to do something
and they say "no" to God – it either
lets the plan undone or takes someone
else away from what God wants them
to do – to cover what God wants us
to do.
I like what Bishop Sheen said about
choices – doing nothing when God
is calling us to do something – is
a choice to say "no" to God's
calling.
We cannot sit back and really feel
good when God expects us to be active
and help and we play the game with
God "Oh I didn't know".
Responsibility is in any job we have
at work. Why would the job God has
given us to do be treated with such
a whimsical response.
When one is expected to give and
they hold out and refuse, it hurts
everybody.
Yes we walk the road on our
own because nobody may entirely
know us, but our lives can be
serene and peaceful if we suffer
or not, walking 'hand-in-hand', dwelling
in the Heart of Jesus.
God is with us every step. We ask the
Holy Spirit to fill us and guide us and help us
to do the Father's will and we are never
alone. We are one with our heavenly Father
in His design for us. The heavenly Father
is our Father – He created us with a
purpose. We are one with Jesus – following
as He did the Father's will for Him.
We can have peace – even in suffering,
peace in trials and oh joy so deep
in the beautiful experiences He gives
us in relating to others. Every person
in our lives God intends us to relate
to, is unique and special in God's
plan, in our development more and more
in the image of God.
Some are so very important in our
hearts – even though we may not see
them – their constancy helps us in
leading us in the direction God wants,
they are always in our heart and
our heart is open wide for all those
relationships God wants us to have
and be a part of.
A man went to a dinner and the
host brought out a bowl of peas –
the man said is that all you serve
me. Again the man was invited and
a man brought out a bowl of peas
and the man barely ate some and the
host took the bowl away.
Stingy was the man who only gave the
peas, he had plenty of funds and he
could have went to the store and
prepared in love for his host, but
he gave little and took away quickly.
See how God gives to us – He loved
us into existence – He loves us and
remains with us. We have been given
the sacrament of baptism to share
in His life. Jesus gives us Himself in
the Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul
and Divinity.
Oh God You lavishly outpour
so many gifts on us and You allow
us to ponder these gifts a lifetime
many times. Love gives – God is love –
God gives to us lavishly.
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.
R. God loved us first.
God calls us and we respond to God's
call, why would anyone hold back
on God? Why would anyone treat this
relationship as if there is no responsibility.
The individual Christian, the Church
and the world are in the state of
becoming more in the image of Jesus.
We are a work in progress. We are
called by God to "Bloom where we
are planted". I saw a lady plant a
little plant at the Virgin Mary site and
she said it would grow to a big
cactus that needed little water and she
showed us a picture. She asked a lady
to come and water the plants she
planted every day.
She planted little plants along
the main walkway to welcome those
who come.
R.
I had prayed for this lady and she
was so cute laboring for Jesus –
I said "Oh thank You, so much".
She said it was an honor, she was
thankful to God for doing it. She
asked and got the proper permission
from me and answered the prayers
I had prayed. She had a very open
heart and respected our
authority and did what was needed
in so lavishing love.
I see Fr. Joe give us his homilies
–
In these homilies is his heart –
he doesn't hold back in giving –
he loves naturally – Fr. Carter
loved naturally – he was so beautiful,
so like Jesus, so involved – so
answering the call of Jesus – to give
in love –
God may call us to give where others
aren't nice to us. God calls us. I like
what Fr. Joe said on the 4th Sunday
of Ordinary Time.
From Guiding Light - Trust and Transform, p. 36
Gradually, as people, especially some of the Jewish leaders, really started to understand his message, opposition to him grew until he as put to death. Perhaps Luke is teaching us that we can’t take Jesus on our terms but on his terms; we can’t make Jesus into who we would like him to be. We must accept him on the basis of who he wants us to be. Perhaps Luke is also showing us that Jesus was not a politician who tried to cater to people’s wants; he was a prophet who would be faithful to the mission God sent him on, no matter what the consequences were.
R.
Jesus always wanted this put in the
Front of Blue Book I.
It is in acceptance of all that is before you that you grow in your relationship with me. Do not try to throw back the opportunity for grace you receive.
Child, I am ever by your side and I am ever teaching you. Accept all things as happening from Him Who loves you. Know that My hand is in everything you are experiencing. I am vigilant and by your side. Nothing happens to you that I have not consented to.
- Jesus' words to the receiver

Excerpt from November 17, 2000
"Bloom where you are planted"
Messenger: We are in a state of becoming.
The Church is in the state of becoming.
The world is in the state of becoming.
We are a pilgrim Church.
Jesus: I write to you, the baby is borne in labor. Now you anguish in labor and pain bringing forth the fruit for the Kingdom.
You cannot give up. You cannot say my work is done.
I live in you, you live in Me. You are on a journey.
You need to teach the people to fish.
Your actions are rooted in love.
A machine produces much when it is productive.
It is mechanical, it operates without a heart.
Your heart is rooted in Me. I am the power source. Woe to those who want to be the King, who want others to walk in their name, they usurp the throne from Me, their God.
It is Me you offend, it is Me you dishonor, it is Me you must make recompense to.
So many are so blind they live a heartless life disconnected from their God. They lack sensitivity and they walk to promote themselves.
For what? Your years on this earth are soon over and your houses and boats and fame — here below — fame for an audience that might idolize YOU — My men you must promote the Kingdom of God — you must walk in My name.
Oh the senseless things leave you hungry.
And yet they fail to recognize the cross is their glory, the daily mundane duties of your life, when offered as a sacrifice and endured in love can help the whole world.
Some of the greatest saints endured the deepest sufferings.
Sufferings are gifts from God.
Oh My shepherds, you bore a baby and now you must endure the suffering, that others will live more fully in Me.
You must accept the everyday trials with love realizing to do so can help many who receive the material I have given through you.
A mother suffers for her children. She raises them, she loves them, she cares for them and prays for them long after they are gone and she prays for their children and their children. And so, too, the Church cares for her children, prays for the children and feeds the children with the Bread of Life.
Oh quit, "bucking the bull". I give you as you need and your eyes are always looking for more, new people to love you and make you feel good, new places to fill you so you are satisfied —
TODAY IS THE MOMENT TO LIVE FOR YOUR GOD —
THE RESTLESS HEART ONLY RESTS IN GOD —
Foolish you are to throw away the grace of the day and be so tirelessly unstable and anxious.
I am with you in everything you do today. What you are given may be perfect and you reject it all day because you are so willful.
The bottom line is this, every hair of your head is numbered.
Endure the sufferings, love every moment, don't be so selfish wanting your own name and a kingdom for yourself here below — remember the story of the pigs, the wolf came and blew the house down.
Store up treasures for heaven, the devil goes before you with allurements and you live anxious and depressed — this is life, endurance teaches you discipline, living in the moment brings peace.
If you think you can make it — go get your kingdom today and do it. Why do you make everyone trying to serve Me in the community, in your family, suffer with your discontent and visions of grandeur?
Either you are with Me or against Me. The kingdom is not found in the feeble things of the earth. Your joy is found in Me. Quit harassing My servants.
Look at the ants on the ant hill. Look from above as the Father watches you. On one ant hill they worked together tirelessly to build a kingdom, on the other hill a huffy ant wanted to reign, he bumped everybody else to get ahead and get his way — all suffered because of him and his discontent. All suffer when you don't accept the things you are given and work in that.
People come and people go. I want you to recognize the gifts I have given in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and thank Me this Thanksgiving. Thank God for your family and mostly thank God for the revelations given. These writings are the gift I have given to you to spread. So you want to write your own books. Listen to the words of your founder and messenger. I have written to you and revealed secrets to you about My Heart that I have never revealed before in the history of the world. I give and you want more. You are missing the gift I am giving you.
Let me tell you a parable. A lady lost a necklace, she spent her life searching for those pearls, she never found them and she missed her life, she was frustrated and caused everyone around her to suffer. She missed all the love I sent her, she wanted what she wanted, when she wanted it. Her eyes were blind and all the gifts were not recognized.
You all are suffering for the world. You are in the state of becoming. Learning to endure, being grateful, living in the moment, helping others, accepting them and loving them are all signs of maturity.
It's very easy to be selfish and just say ME-ME-ME. Do you want to be like Jesus? I am your model, I am the Son of God. Study My life and identify with Me. I carried My cross, I gave My life for My precious souls. Now I ask you to grow.
Mary: Help the children — help my children — pray for your founder united to the Mass through my powerful intercession as Our Lady of Clearwater. Thank your God for these gifts and writings.

Excerpt from November 15, 2000
Messenger: Prayer is so precious to me.
To think God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a special way when we are in the state of grace.
Our Divine Bridegroom comes in us, so united to us in Communion.
I am in awe and I love Him so much. I love God so much.
Let us honor Him and love Him and praise Him and tell Him we are so sorry for our sins.
We pray to Him with heartfelt prayer and He listens to us.
Today it was so beautiful at Mass, I was right before the priest and I saw Christ offering sacrifice to the Father.
I saw the offering of the Body and Blood of Jesus.
I saw the power in the priest to change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ.
I saw the table of sacrifice.
Through Him, With Him and In Him
Messenger: Doesn't your heart burn with love of God and gratitude for the Mass?
Today at Mass I felt that connection with all the members in the Body of Christ united to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and I want to hold this moment forever united to all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. It is so big. I feel so deep the connection of so many united as one with the bonds of deep love in our hearts.
Jesus: I am the Alpha and the Omega, I am your God and your All. I give Myself so completely to you in the Mass. I AM GOD. Praise, honor and thank Me. I am the King of the Universe.
Your children are God's children, stay connected to God.
I am the Ultimate Mystery.
Your God is your Creator, you are creatures, I give you great gifts.
I ask you to include the 1st Chapter of Response to God's Love.
Read it slowly, say each word as you ponder it and read it aloud.
Keep it as a reference for yourself.
It is most important.
You are formed more and more in the image of God.
Go to the Immaculate Heart of your Mother, your spiritual womb. Ask for the Holy Spirit to form you more and more in My image and likeness.
The Incarnation goes on in you.
Genesis 1: 26-27
God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.

Excerpt from Spirituality Handbook
An Overview of the Spiritual Life
1The Christian life is rooted in the great event of the Incarnation. We must consequently always focus our gaze upon Christ, realizing that everything the Father wishes to tell us has been summed up in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It only remains for us, then, to strive to understand with greater insight the inexhaustible truth of the Word Incarnate: "In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days He has spoken to us by a Son, Whom He appointed the heir of all things, through Whom also He created the world." (Heb. 1: 1-2)
... Jesus has come, then, not to destroy anything that is authentically human, but to perfect it by leading it to a graced fulfillment. This is the meaning of the Word's becoming flesh, the meaning of the Incarnation. The more God-like we become through Christ, the more human we become.
We, through our incorporation into Christ which occurs at Baptism, are meant to relive the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In doing so, we are not only accomplishing our own salvation, but we are assisting in the salvation of others also. The Incarnation continues all the time. Christ, of course, is the one Who fundamentally continues the Incarnation. But He enlists our help. The world no longer sees Jesus, no longer is able to reach out and touch Him. We are the ones who now, in some way, make Christ visible and tangible. In union with the invisible, glorified Christ, and depending on Him as our source of life, we continue the Incarnation in its visible and temporal dimensions. This is our great privilege. This is our great responsibility.
The Christian is initiated into the mystery of Christ, into his or her role in prolonging the Incarnation, through Baptism. In the words of St. Paul: "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were buried therefore with Him by Baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (Rom. 6: 3-4). . . .

Spouse of the Lamb
First Friday, March 6, 1998 - 10th Day
Messenger: My beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul,
The days go by with such swiftness, yet my focus is entirely on being one with Thee. The days fade in and out in shades of lights and darks, some days I receive immense insight into Your mysteries, some days I am left to tremendous suffering, wanting You so deeply in my soul and not experiencing Your favor.
On this First Friday, I recall vividly the vision of Your precious Heart I hold in my heart. I see it clearly, red and filled with fire, and I know the warmth and glow of Your sacred divine love.
Oh, my Sacred Heart, indeed, Thy love is most sacred. Yet even though I do not ponder as I should on the endless fires of love emitted from your treasured Heart, I have a constant awareness of this love which leads me to march forth in this battle of helping to win souls over for the Kingdom.
Little is accomplished if I nurse my wounds on those dark days and sit in a corner waiting for a great favor from You.
I walk those shaded days as You walked with the cross on Your back, but my awareness of Your Father and His plan for salvation is so limited, and I struggle tremendously as I am pressed on as I travel on my journey to the end of the day.
And then a day of glory comes and You look upon me, my Bridegroom, and give me great favors and allow me to have a day of resurrection from the doom and the struggle.
And how did He walk the earth? He walked it too, in dark and light days. Days in which they chased Him and wanted to kill Him, in which they called Him crazy, in which He sweat the saving Blood because of His anguish, in which He was tempted, in which He wept, in which He loved Mary His Mother and Mary Magdalene, in which He raised His dear friend Lazarus from the dead, in which He preached about the Kingdom to His followers.
Days of light, days of darkness, but He entered the tomb and came forth victorious in the end.
He rose to give us life, His wounds were glorified, the victory was won.
My Bridegroom, You give to me Yourself this day. I am one in the glorified Lord in the most intimate way. The banquet is prepared. The Lamb has been slain. Now we reap the glory of the risen Lord. We receive the gift of life in Him.
LIGHT and darkness. He is the Bread of Life, He comes to feed the starved soul with Himself. Our most treasured gift, our most treasured Friend, Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of our soul, gives Himself as a sacrifice that we will share in His life most abundantly.
I love You, Jesus Christ my Bridegroom, come and possess my soul.
March 7, 1998 - 11th Day
Messenger: My dear Spouse,
You take us to Your mountain top and show us Your light and the world slumbers and sleeps and the throng below the hill shakes the tree and the dead fruit falls, but they do not see it.
We hear the voice of the Father speak, "This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased." and we hear the voice of the Good Shepherd speak as He reveals His Father to us and His plan for the salvation of all men living according to His will.
The voice of the Good Shepherd will be heard as men listen to Jesus. In this Movement, Shepherds of Christ, we pray for our priests, the Church and the world.
March 19, 1998 (Excerpt)
Passion
Messenger: Passion is a way the devil can lead a holy soul to death. Jesus calls us to holy love. He calls us to brotherly love, love rooted in God.
Passion is a way the devil uses to drive a holy soul to death.
When appropriate, for example at certain times when we pray together, Jesus wants us to hold hands, to join in unity and to touch one another in a proper way. Satan works in the thoughts of holy souls to create passions and desires that are not to God's liking.
Jesus gives us the Commandment, "Thou shall not commit adultery." He asks us to relax and be one and then asks us to be on our guard. He asks us for love as the Virgin Mary had for St. Joseph and for others. Holy love is holy. It is not rooted in passion and desires, it is rooted in love of God and Godly love for each other. If one truly loves himself and another, he would not put himself and the other in an occasion of sin that could lead to the death of the soul. One that loves would not wish the other to sin.
Time spent before the tabernacle is to give honor and glory to God. God is the focus of this time before the tabernacle. God is there to unite hearts to Himself and to others.
God gives us the Commandment to love God and one another. We are to love in holy love.
Satan can create passions, lights, feelings that will lead a holy soul into sin. Satan creates appetites within the soul to be improperly satisfied with food, alcohol, sex, indulgence. Jesus does not want us to be fearful. He wants us to help to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart. You must ask yourself, does this relationship have as its primary purpose to give honor and glory to God? Anything that would lead to anything sinful is not giving honor and glory to God.
I state clearly. Satan will try to lead some astray with passions. Our role is to help bring the world into oneness in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Satan can trick a couple engaging in prayer by passions and feelings. We must focus on the work at hand. Being led away by Satan harms the whole Movement. Be diligent, thrifty, and loving, praying always for the gifts of the Spirit.
October 26, 2000
Jesus: My people,
I am communicating to the earth through the messages I give daily. These messages are most important to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart.
There is a small remnant of people that hear My message daily.
You have been chosen to help change the world.
You must pray united to the Mass.
Pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater for the priests, the Church and the world.
I AM YOUR SAVIOR.
I SPEAK TO YOU HERE.
I love you,
Jesus.
You are My apostles.
October 26, 2000 - Second Message
Jesus speaks: YOU MUST PRAY.
Your society is sick.
You can pray for the healing of the people of society using the Healing Rosary, pleading that the cancer that makes people sick in society will be uprooted and thrown in the sea—Jesus speaks:
Pray as directed through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater—unite it to a particular Mass and all Masses going on around the world.
I love you, Jesus.
Pray through Our Lady of Clearwater united to the Mass.
A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.
On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say: (this is given for Fr. Carter, you can replace your loved one's name).
May God heal Fr. Carter through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.
Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.
May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
We believe with all our hearts.
After the Glory Be— pray the following petition.
May Fr. Carter be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.
Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary.
Galatians 2: 19-21
In fact, through the Law I am dead to the Law so that I can be alive to God. I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not setting aside God’s grace as of no value; it is merely that if saving justice comes through the Law, Christ died needlessly.
Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
1 John 4: 19-21
Let us love, then,
because he first loved us.
Anyone who says ‘I love God’
and hates his brother,
is a liar,
since whoever does not love the brother
whom he can see
cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Indeed this is the commandment
we have received from him,
that whoever loves God,
must also love his brother.
Song: God's Love
Song: A Song from Jesus
Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter 2000 - Issue 3
2The spiritual life, the life of holiness, begins at Baptism. Archbishop Luis Martinez says:
"When we are born we are endowed by God with all we need for our human life, a complete organism, and a soul with the full range of faculties. Of course they are not all developed from birth, but we have them then as the source of everything we are going to need in life. And thus it is also in the spiritual order. When someone is baptized, he receives in all its fullness that supernatural world which the Christian carries within his soul. He receives grace, which is a participation of the nature of God; the theological virtues, which put him in immediate contact with the divine; the moral virtues, which serve to regulate and order all his life; and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the divine, mysterious receivers for picking up the Spirit’s inspirations and movements."
Another author states: "The Three Divine Persons inhabit the sanctuary of our soul, taking their delight in enriching it with supernatural gifts and in communicating to us a Godlike life, similar to theirs, called the life of grace.
"All life, however, implies a threefold element: a vital principle that is, so to speak, the source of life itself; faculties which give the power to elicit vital acts; and lastly, the acts themselves which are but its development and which minister to its growth. In the supernatural order, God living within us produces the same elements. He first communicates to us habitual grace (the life of sanctifying grace) which plays the part of a vital supernatural principle. This principle deifies, as it were, the very substance of the soul and makes it capable, though in a remote way, of enjoying the Beatific Vision and of performing the acts that lead to it.
"Out of this grace spring the infused virtues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit which perfect our faculties and endow us with the immediate power of performing Godlike, supernatural, meritorious acts.
"In order to stir these faculties into action, He give us actual graces which enlighten our mind, strengthen our will, and aid us both to act supernaturally and to increase the measure of habitual grace that has been granted to us.
"Although this life of grace is entirely distinct from our natural life it is not merely superimposed on the latter. It penetrates it through and through, transforms it and makes it divine. It assimilates whatever is good in our nature, our education and our habits. It perfects and supernaturalizes all these various elements, directing them toward the last end, that is toward the possession of God through the Beatific Vision and its resultant life."
3Our being in the state of sanctifying of grace and the special indwelling of the Persons of the Trinity within us always exist together. We cannot have the one without the other. Our life of grace, which is a sharing in Trinitarian life, allows us to know and love Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in a most intimate fashion. Through grace we are in the image of the Trinity, and we enjoy special relationships with the Divine Persons.
Again, we listen to the words of Archbishop Martinez as he speaks about our relationships with the Divine Persons:
"Love, we have said, is the foundation of devotion to the Holy Spirit, as it is also the foundation of Christian perfection. But love as a reflection of God, as His own image, is something that encloses within its simplicity a boundless wealth and a variety of forms. Who can fathom the depths of love?
"Human love in all its manifestations is admirably in harmony with the love of charity; it is confident in filial love, trusting in friendship, sweet and fruitful in the love of husband and wife, disinterested and tender in the love of a mother. Our love of God must include all these forms of human love; every fiber of our heart must vibrate when the harmonious and full canticle of love bursts forth from it. But since God is one in essence and triune in Persons, our love for Him takes on a particular aspect accordingly as it is directed to each one of the divine Persons.
"Our love for the Father is tender and confident like that of children; eager to glorify Him as His only-begotten Son taught us to do by word and example. Love for the Father is the intense desire to have His will fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven. Our love for the Son, who willed to become flesh for us, is characterized by the tendency to union with Him and transformation into Him; by imitation of His example, participation in His life, and the sharing of His sufferings and His Cross. The Eucharist, mystery of love, of sorrow, and of union, reveals the characteristics of this love.
"Love for the Holy Spirit also has its special character, which we should study in order completely to understand devotion to Him. We have explained how the Holy Spirit loves us, how He moves us like a divine breath that draws us to the bosom of God, like a sacred fire that transforms us into fire, like a divine artist who forms Jesus in us. Surely, then, our love for the Holy Spirit should be marked by loving docility, by full surrender, and by a constant fidelity that permits us to be moved, directed, and transformed by His sanctifying action.
"Our love for the Father tends to glorify Him; our love for the Son, to transform ourselves into Him; our love for the Holy Spirit, to let ourselves be possessed and moved by Him."
