                R. Happy Easter!
 

                R. May we see the light –

                Last night the service in
                    Churchs all over the
                    world was focused on
                    the gift Easter is to
                    the world –

                We are to be Easter people

                Dear God, let there be
                    light –

                We are to be Resurrection people –
                    and sing Alleluia in our
                    lives because of the gifts
                    we have received.

                When we see the Father's vision
                    we know we are loved –
                    we know God wants us
                    with Him eternally in
                    heaven –
                    It is God's plan for us
                    to seek heaven and to
                    go there.

                We must focus on our hearts.

                God loves us so much.

                God is Divine –

                We are human –

                But God gives us a sharing in
                    His life in baptism –

                We must thank God for the gift
                    of baptism –
                    thank God for the Church
                    and the sacraments –

                Help me spread these prayers
                    Jesus gave Fr. Carter praying for
                    the priests, the Church and the
                    world.

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)

 

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.

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."

- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates

 
 

                R. This is our mission – God has given
                    us in the Shepherds of Christ – to
                    spread the priestly mailing and
                    begin prayer chapters all over the
                    world.

                This is a special Easter Message from Jesus March 27, 2016.

                Jesus: I have called Servants and
                    Handmaids of the Good Shepherd
                    to be My Spouse, what a calling
                    to serve Me in this Movement
                    and to live a special calling
                    as the Spouse of Jesus.
                    They are under a superior and
                    under the promises of
                    poverty, chastity and obedience.
                    The servant and handmaids
                    in China do the 24 hour
                    adoration praying for the priests,
                    the Church and the world,
                    the members and their families,
                    the Shepherds of Christ family –

                    They are committed to their
                    relationship in the Shepherds of Christ
                    and wear a ring as the Spouse of Jesus.

                    It is a promise, a commitment
                    to follow their vocation in
                    spreading the Priestly Mailing,
                    the Prayer chapters and
                    living the way of life
                    under obedience.

                    I am pleased with your efforts
                        to serve Me as I have
                        stipulated.

                The Florida building where
                    My Mother appeared on the
                    building for 7 1/2 years is
                    a place of prayer.
                    The nightly prayers are to be
                    prayed every day at 6:20
                    and pilgrims can come
                    and pray – this has been
                    going on for 18 years since
                    you received the building in 1998.
                    This is My desire that from
                    this building prayer chapters
                    are begun, the prayers
                    circulated, the Priestly Newsletters
                    circulated, My messages in
                    the Blue Books circulated, the
                    Mass Books.

                    I have sent many people to the
                    building to receive these things
                    and to consecrate their family
                    and themselves to the Sacred Heart
                    and Immaculate Heart.

                I am working behind the scenes
                    to send people to receive the
                    materials, but satan finds
                    ways to stop this.

                Pray for the Ministries –

                Pray for the prayers being said –

                Pray for volunteers

                Pray for Pilgrims

                Pray for people with the statues
                    having a special place
                    in their homes to pray the
                    prayers for the priests, the
                    Church and the world.

                    The more the message I have given
                is circulated – the more people will
                pray for grace for the priests, the
                Church and the world.

                    The Blue Books, Mass Book etc.
                needs to be circulated so more and
                more are baptized and go to daily
                Mass, say their Morning Offering
                and pray deeply as members of
                the mystical body of Christ –
                united to the Mass all day and
                beg as a family for grace
                for the Church and the world.
                The Mass is the sacrifice of
                Calvary, sacramentally made
                present. Please use these
                materials and spread them –

                I have called 7 levels of Commitment
                to do this work –
                Servants, Handmaids, Apostles of My
                Sacred Heart, Apostles of the Eucharistic
                Heart of Jesus, Associates, Prayer Apostles,
                Junior Shepherds of Christ Members –
                Please listen to Me –

                A network of prayer giving devotion
                    to My Sacred Heart and Mary's
                    Immaculate Heart –

                I have called you to live as members
                of the Mystical Body of Christ
                in My Messages and taught
                you to pray deeply for the
                priests, the Church and the
                world –
                through the powerful intercession
                of Our Lady of Clearwater in the Holy Spirit –
                Pray as I have taught you –
                Live your lives united to the Mass –
                This is how you can be Easter people –
                Living under God – praying
                for unity on earth –
                praying for holiness on earth –
                Giving your life as an offering
                    in all you do, united to
                    the Mass and offer everything
                    you do as a prayer –
                    praying for the priests, the
                    Church and the world.

                Reach the Nursing Homes with
                    pictures of the Sacred Heart
                    and Immaculate Heart
                    and the Say Daily card –
                    so they are praying –

                Reach the school children with
                    the rosary and consecration
                    cards.

                Pray with all your heart –
                    pray for grace to live your
                    vocation –
                    take it seriously –

                Don't be down hearted –

                I will correct you when you
                    are not doing what you
                    can do to help more souls.
                    It is a gift to help souls –
                    to reach more people –
                    Thank Me for the correction and
                    listen to Me –
                    I love the precious souls I
                    died for –
                    I love you, I love all of you –
                    You have been chosen to
                    lead many souls to My Sacred Heart,
                    what an honor you are
                    given –

                Mary is Mother of the Universe –
                    she appeared in Clearwater
                    to deliver this message –

                What a calling –

                Jesus: I am Jesus, the Sacred Heart of Jesus –
                this is a Movement of love –
                love from My Heart to teach
                My people about My love –
                to teach them to be Easter People.

                To teach them to pray for the
                vision of God and to sing
                Alleluia with all their heart.

                Let there be light –

                Let there be light –

                Let there be light –

                God created the world –
                I call – you are to respond –

                I tested Abraham and he showed
                    you his faith and he was
                    blessed and you are blessed
                    because of his faith –
                    his life.

                Do you remember the Red Sea
                    and how I divided the
                    waters –

                I paid the price so you could receive
                    baptism saving you from
                    the slavery of sin.
                    Listen to Me –

                    This is My work in the Shepherds of Christ
                    to teach people to be Easter People,
                    to teach them to pray –
                    to consecrate their hearts and
                    their lives to the Hearts of My
                    Mother and to My Sacred Heart –
                    to teach the people to live
                    united to the Mass –
                    to know that the Father and Myself
                    and the Holy Spirit dwell in the
                    graced, baptized soul –

                Listen to Me –

                Come to the water –

                Don't give into satan –

                Be people who sing Alleluia –
                    People of joy

                Value your life –

                You are chosen and called
                    by God to be holy –
                    to prepare for your
                    eternal victory in
                    heaven –
                    for the eternal banquet –

                Follow Me – Give your heart
                    to Me in Consecration –
                    know My presence with you –
                    always –
                    I am with you, I live in the
                        graced, baptized soul

                    Say – here we are Master –

                    I call

                    You respond –

                    Here we are Master –

                    Here we are Master –

                I have the words of everlasting life!

                Let your hearts be made holy –

                Live as Easter people –

                Sing Alleluia –

                My power is unchanging –
                    even when the world is
                    suffering –

                    I am the same –

                    Come to Me – beg for
                        grace for the priests,
                        the Church and the
                        world as I have
                        taught you to pray.

                Let there be light –

                Come out of your tombs –

                Don't be closed in –

                You are commissioned in baptism to
                    go out and spread the
                    Good News –

                Pray all day every day
                    To the Father – united to Me in
                    the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
                    in the Holy Spirit through
                    the powerful intercession of
                    Our Lady of Clearwater,
                    with all the angels and saints
                    and the souls in purgatory for
                    the priests, the Church and the world.

                Spread this.



 

                Jesus: Easter is the great feast of Victory.

                This is the Good News –
 

Psalm 138: 1, 8, 5-6

I thank you, Yahweh, with all my heart,
for you have listened to the cry I uttered.

Yahweh will do all things for me.
Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever,
do not abandon what you have made.

they sing of Yahweh's ways,
'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'
Sublime as he is, Yahweh looks on the humble,
the proud he picks out from afar.

 

Acts 10: 34, 37-43

Then Peter addressed them, ‘I now really understand’, he said, ‘that God has no favourites,

You know what happened all over Judaea, how Jesus of Nazareth began in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism. God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil. Now we are witnesses to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judaea and in Jerusalem itself: and they killed him by hanging him on a tree, yet on the third day God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen, not by the whole people but only by certain witnesses that God had chosen beforehand. Now we are those witnesses—we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from the dead— and he has ordered us to proclaim this to his people and to bear witness that God has appointed him to judge everyone, alive or dead. It is to him that all the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name.’

 

                Jesus: Be Easter People – Sing Alleluia.

Colossians 3: 1-4

Since you have been raised up to be with Christ, you must look for the things that are above, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand. Let your thoughts be on things above, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed-and he is your life-you, too, will be revealed with him in glory.

 

1 Corinthians 5: 7-8

Throw out the old yeast so that you can be the fresh dough, unleavened as you are. For our Passover has been sacrificed, that is, Christ; let us keep the feast, then, with none of the old yeast and no leavening of evil and wickedness, but only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

   

1 Peter 1: 3-9

Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into a heritage that can never be spoilt or soiled and never fade away. It is reserved in heaven for you who are being kept safe by God’s power through faith until the salvation which has been prepared is revealed at the final point of time.

This is a great joy to you, even though for a short time yet you must bear all sorts of trials; so that the worth of your faith, more valuable than gold, which is perishable even if it has been tested by fire, may be proved—to your praise and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. You have not seen him, yet you love him; and still without seeing him you believe in him and so are already filled with a joy so glorious that it cannot be described; and you are sure of the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls.

 

                Jesus: Open the door to your hearts –
                    Be people that live the
                    message of the Resurrection –
                    Be steadfast in your hearts –
                    Pray for the Vision of your
                        heavenly Father –
                    You are disciples –
                    You are learners –
                    I am teaching you –
                    You have not arrived –

                    Be molded more and more in
                        My image and likeness

                    Be in one mind and one heart –
                        united to the Mass all day.
                        Pray as you have never
                        prayed before –

                    Pray for mercy – ask for forgiveness
                        for your sins –
                        Be made clean

                    I am Jesus, your Savior
 

 

John 20: 19-31

In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. 

    ‘As the Father sent me, 
    so am I sending you.’ 

After saying this he breathed on them and said: 

    Receive the Holy Spirit. 
    If you forgive anyone’s sins, 
    they are forgiven; 
    if you retain anyone’s sins, 
    they are retained. 

    Thomas, called the Twin, who was one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, ‘We have seen the Lord,’ but he answered, ‘Unless I can see the holes that the nails made in his hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless I can put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe.’ Eight days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came in and stood among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving any more but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him: 

    You believe because you can see me. 
    Blessed are those who have not seen 
        and yet believe.

There were many other signs that Jesus worked in the sight of the disciples, but they are not recorded in this book. These are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing this you may have life through his name.

 

                        From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the day-
light; what you hear in whispers, proclaim
from the housetops."
(Matthew 10:27)  

Jesus Has Come to Give Us Life

Jesus: "This is the day celebrating My Resurrection (Easter). The day of newness of life. I am Lord and Master. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Tell My people to come to Me if they wish to experience life in abundance. I want to give all an ever greater share in the life of My Resurrection. Without Me you cannot be happy, nor have peace, nor have real joy. Tell My people to surrender to Me more and more. The more they do so, the more they will experience My love, wisdom, power, peace, joy, happiness, mercy, and goodness. Within My Heart My people will find these riches. I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words."

Reflection: Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus has come to give us life, and to give us this life in abundance.

When we were baptized, we were incorporated into Christ and His Church. When we were baptized, we received the life of sanctifying grace. This life is a created sharing in the life of the Trinity. Truly, we are called to live a God-like existence according to the teaching and example of Jesus! It is our duty and our privilege to develop our life of grace—our Christ-life—through our participation in the Mass, through the reception of the sacraments, through prayer, and through all other good works. Indeed, we are called to love God and neighbor more and more.

What a glorious life has been given to us! In a spirit of thanksgiving, and together with Mary our Mother, let us always strive to know Christ more intimately, to love Him more ardently, and to follow Him more closely, so that He will always bring us to a closer union with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
