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.

Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.

Messenger: WE URGENTLY NEED FUNDS TO PUT OUT THE NEXT NEWSLETTER, PRAY FOR THIS AND FOR THE NEWSLETTER AND ALL INVOLVED. 

WE ALSO NEED FUNDS FOR PRAYER MANUALS FOR THE 75,000 PRIESTS.

Messenger: Our Lord has asked us to pray for a special priest and three other special priests and His designated priests.

                  Please pray for the priestly newsletter and for the intentions on the prayer list at the end of the message.

Messenger: Please pray for an urgent intention, spread the blood of Jesus on them, consecrate their hearts, cast the devil far from them, and ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

                  A second urgent intention is to pray for the mailing of the newsletter and all involved.  Please pray hourly if possible.

Messenger: People come and go in our lives.

                    Yesterday was a day of celebration for it was the
                        three year anniversary of the beginning of the
                        handmaids of the Good Shepherd.

                    The day was an important day to Jesus. The handmaids
                        and servants are his special spouse.

                    In this Movement God has called us all to live
                        that special spousal relationship with
                        Him in a most intimate way.

                    It is His Movement He began through the
                        message He gave to Father Carter.

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., as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits

Messenger: It is Jesus Who has called us.

                     It is Jesus that says that they hear His voice
                        and they follow Him.

John 10:2-4

He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gatekeeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.

                    The Newsletter is His instrument in which He
                        speaks to His Priest Shepherds about this
                        special intimate calling of being the spouse of
                        Christ.

                    The Church is the bride of Christ.
                    We are the faithful members.

                    What does it mean to call us the bride of Christ
                        if we really don't live that spousal union
                        in a deep intimate way with Him?

                    I remember when I first received the Blue Books and
                        they were published, satan did all he could
                        to block them because he didn't want men
                        going to the Eucharist and staying after
                        Communion. I was persecuted and people
                        did all they could to discredit the Blue Books,
                        but the seeds of Jesus' letters fell in the
                        hearts of many despite the persecution we
                        suffered to deliver His burning letters of love.

                    Today we have been given a deep calling from Our
                        Lord to reach the priests with the
                        Newsletter.

                    In the Newsletter Jesus speaks to the priests
                        about consecration and the relationship
                        of the souls with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
                        and Mary. He speaks about our relationship
                        with the members of the Church and the world.

             I remember an experience I had May 25, 1995. It was
                 Ascension Thursday and it is published in the
                 Apostles' Manual, the internet and in the 17th
                 books.

             I went to Mass at Father Carter's and I was given
                 deep insight into the Mystery of Christ. I knew
                 Him so intimately. I saw Him ascend into
                 heaven. He kept going upward. I knew Him
                 in a deep way. I knew Him as a
                 baby, in His death, in His resurrection
                 and ascension, in my relationship with
                 Him then in His Eucharistic Presence,
                         I was just so one with Christ.

             I reach for words to describe a mystical experience
                 I had. It is implanted on my soul not
                 in words, but in knowledge of Him, having deep
                 insight into the mystery of Christ,
                 of knowing Him in such an intimate way.

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.               

Once again the reader is reminded that through baptism the Christian becomes incorporated into Christ and His Church. Confirmation perfects this incorporation. Although baptism incorporates us primarily into Christ's death and Resurrection, we again stress that it also unites us with Christ in all His mysteries. This is so because all Christ's mysteries are essentially one mystery, for none of them stands separately by itself. Consequently, one cannot be initiated into Christ's paschal mystery without simultaneously being incorporated into all of His mysteries.

     The fact that all of Christ's various mysteries are contained in the total mystery of Christ enables the Christian to encounter the entire Christ in the liturgy. Mention of this fact brings us to our next point.

     In baptism the Christian first encounters and relives the mystery of Christ. He thereby receives a new life. But this life must be nourished. The Christian must constantly re-encounter the mystery of Christ, and this he does chiefly through the eucharistic liturgy. Here the Christian is daily privileged to encounter Christ in the most intimate fashion. Here above all he exercises his priesthood and consequently grows in supernatural vitality. We use the word exercise purposely, since the liturgy is primarily an action, an exercise of the priestly office of Christ.

(End of excerpt from Response in Christ by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.)

Messenger:

             I see the vision of Him ascending into heaven as
                 if it just happened. He was clothed in a red
                 garb, there was this light and white stuff
                 on both sides as He ascended upward and
                 in that moment I knew so much about the
                 incarnation, the passion, His presence with
                 me in the Eucharist, I knew about the Divine
                 God.

Messenger: I ask you to pray for our apostles, servants and
                 handmaids.

             I know so much and yet I cannot even write or get together
                 the writings of Blue Books 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 with
                 all the trials of everyday.

             Father Carter is gone and he told me things about his writings
                 and his life that must be organized before I die
                 so that they will be preserved, but the devil wages
                 a big war trying to stop us so we attend to
                 other things and the great gifts God has given
                 in these writings are not attended to.

             Money is a major issue for the Newsletter. I have been
                 writing personal letters to draw the people in,
                 into great oneness as a body - united in this
                 effort to help get the Newsletter into the hands
                 of the priest.

             Our Lord wants the disc on grace in the hands of the
                 priest. The disc duplicater costs about $8,000.
                 We have circulated now about 600 discs which
                 we made on my computer in my house.

             The primary focus of this Movement is to reach the
                 priests with the Newsletter. Our Lord speaks
                 through it to His priests. The discs and tapes on the
                         Newsletter are important to Our Lord.

             If there isn't money for the Newsletter and Prayer
                 Manual, what do we do?
             I beg in the daily messages.
             Where there could be deeper insights and messages
                 from Our Lord, the precious space here is
                 spent in crying, literally crying for help to
                 do what God has asked us to do.

             Think, if St. Paul was too busy tending to other
                 things some of his writings would not have been
                 recorded.

             It isn't my job to beg for money, but what do
                 we do now?

             The Next newsletter Father Carter directed me to
                 write was given October 20, 2000, it is on
                 this bridal union and the Mass.

             We are the brides of Christ.                

             Christ wants to speak to His priests and the world
                 about His bridal union with them.
             In the powerful writing of Father Carter on the
                 Sacraments and the Mass in his book
                 Response in Christ he gives deep insights
                 into understanding sacrifice and our
                 participation in the Mass.
                     I want so much to share the gifts God has given
                         to Father Carter and to me and yet the devil
                         works through those who could help us to
                         cause distractions.

                     I know when I die, it will be much more difficult
                          for anyone to sift through about 800 tapes
                          and writings and books of mine and Father Carter.

                     I have pleaded and begged for help with Funding for the
                            Newsletter and now we face another Newsletter
                            that is so important that it gets published,
                            on bridal union and the Mass.

                    A handmaid is one who lays down their life to serve God.

                    Mary is the most perfect handmaid.

                    A lot of things are not accomplished because the men
                        helping me want dominance and won't
                        really help me do what Our Lord and
                        Our Lady are asking for.

                    The devil is strong attacking people Jesus has called.
                        The devil is so strong and it is because of pride,
                        dominance, wanting acceptance, fear. People
                        give into the devil and stop doing what is
                        necessary to reach the earth with the writings.

                    God gives us so much grace when we go to the
                        tabernacle to fight off satan. People that are
                        apostles and do not go to the tabernacle
                        for their hour of adoration or skip daily Mass
                        very often become confused and do things that
                        may lead to them giving up their calling.

                        Jesus calls us to that hour every day spent alone
           with Him.

                        It is a bloody cry I give to you, it is a cry
                    from Jesus.

                        In these days when we recall His Passion,
                    let us ask God how we can help to reach
                    the souls He gave His life for.

                        If you are reading this, you have been called
                    in a special way to help to bring about this
                    great era of peace and the Reign of the
                    Sacred Heart.

                        The Movement exists to circulate the Priestly
                    Newsletter to priests and tapes and discs of the Newsletter.
                         Father said if we can't do the Newsletter
                    we aren't doing what God wants.

                          Are you in this to lay down your life for
                    Jesus to help us do what He is asking?
                            Father Carter was the instrument Jesus used to
                    write to His priests. Father Carter's writings are here and he said
                    we were to continue the Newsletter
                    with them.

                            I want to tell you a story of a sister. She
                    was in the sisters to please her dad. After
                    she was there many years her dad died
                    and then she no longer had a commitment to
                    the calling.

                        Father Carter was given this mission by Jesus. Anyone
                    who worked to please Father Carter is like the
                    sister who stayed to please their dad.
                    It is Jesus' movement, Father Carter started it
                    because Jesus told him to do it.
                        The purpose is to help bring about the Reign
                    of His Sacred Heart and this great era of peace.
                    The movement is in the infancy stage.

                        Jesus said in a message yesterday "Anybody
                    that wanted to help Him would do it they
                    wouldn't cause distractions and trouble."

Jesus speaks: I give this message. The primary focus of My
                            Movement Shepherds of Christ is My Priestly
                            Newsletter. I desire this to continue. Instead
                            of criticizing when I give a message, I wish you
                            would say - "how can it be accomplished?"
                            and work toward the goal.

                        Some look at all the people and then decide to
                            not follow the message.

                        The Message is given from Me. I want the
                            Priestly Newsletter to continue with the
                            writings I have given.
                        I wish the Newsletter 2001 #2 to be
                            written as was directed by Father Carter
                            on October 20, 2000.

                        The Church is My bride.

                        It is because of pride that many in authority do
                            not want to be under Me.
                            My Mother is the Mother of the Church.
                            It is from My Church that children are
                                brought forth as fruit for the Kingdom.
                            Where are your children?
                            Put aside your pride.
                            The Church is My bride.

                        I am the King.
                        I am the Chief Priest.
                        I am the Victim that was slain.

                        Many priests do not want to be under Mary
                            because she is a woman.

                        You are all under God.

                        Power comes from God.

                        When someone sees themselves as the head disconnected
                            from God they cut off the power
                            source.

                        I am God.
                        Power Comes from Me.

                        Oh I am tired to write and tell you more.
                        You are attached to your worldly ways and many of you want
                            to dominate.
                        My Mother is the Mother of the Church and you are
                            her children.
                        Do you act like a little child of Mary?

Excerpt from Shepherds of Christ, Issue 1, 2001

Father Carter’s love of Our Lady is shown in his writings. He always saw himself as a little baby in her arms. In his room that last day was a holy card of Mary holding the Child Jesus, which was the only holy card we saw in his room. It looked as if he had held it. It looked used. In going through his personal holy cards, he had so many holy cards of Mary holding the Child Jesus.

(End of excerpt from Shepherds of Christ, Issue 1, 2001)

Jesus speaks: Please help Me to continue My Newsletter for the
                            world.

                         I write to My priests through it.

                        Please help Me.

                        I give a message to follow, some try to
                            block My message with their
                            pompous prideful way.

                        Look at My face, I gently ask you to help Me.

                        The writings I have given to Father Carter are to
                            help renew the Church and the world.

                        The Prayer Chapters are to be begun all over
                            the world.

                        Please help Me, do not fight Me.
                        This is a gift I give you.

Mary speaks:

                        My rosary must be prayed by my children.

                        You must be humble little children of
                            the Father not pompous, hard men.

                        I am Mother of the Church.

                        Pray to the Holy Spirit, my Spouse, to be
                            formed more and more into the image of Jesus.

                        The Church is a Pilgrim Church, you
                            are to become more like my
                            Son desires. You are in the
                             state of becoming. You have
                            not "arrived". You are being formed,
                            you are under Jesus.
                            Jesus is the Head of the Church.
                            You are under God!!

                        You have crowned your King with thorns.                      

                        Do you live as His bride and handmaid?

                Do you live to make Him King or
                            have your own little kingdom
                            where you are king?

                        Oh help me my children.

                        I am Mary, I am the Lady of Light.

                        Jesus is the Light of the World.

                        Your churches will be little cities of light
                            when you pray the prayers He
                             gives you.

                        I love you so much.

                        I am Mary your Mother.

A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.

A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.

On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say: 

May God heal                     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                     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.

Note: The above section can be printed out from a PDF file, and you can pray the rosary looking at the pictures.
