A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb,
the Bridegroom of the SoulOh 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.
Excerpt from May 25, 1995
Messenger: Prayer is a lifting up of our minds and hearts to God. Who am I that I can change any event that is occurring in the lives of another, that I can affect the outcome of any event? I am a child of my Father. My Father is the Almighty God. How I love my dear Father. He is God and He has created me in His own image and likeness. My beloved, dear Father, how I love You that You give me such gifts - that You allow me to share in Your life!
You are the Father of Jesus and You are My Father. Thank You, My Father, for all Your gifts and for Your life. Who am I that I can affect the life of any person?
I am a child of God. I call on my dear Father and He loves me so, He listens to me. I lift my heart to You, my dear beloved Father and You listen to little me and You care for me so much. I call upon God and the Almighty God cares for me with such love that He listens.

Messenger: We see the flowering trees

Messenger:
and the little petals fall to the ground and lay there so
beautiful a little blanket of petals.
I went to a little church today and the funeral was
of a 3 year old little girl that died. I see the little
delicate petals now fall from the green beautiful
trees, a little blanket.
A little petal went to heaven. She was at Children's
Hospital here, sick for a year.
The message is the message of hope and love and I
felt so sad, but I knew this small child would go to
heaven. That is the joy to know that she will live
forever with God. I felt very sad and wanted to cry
when the priest and people talked, thinking of the
little ones and seeing their beautiful ways, their
purity, their little smiles, their simplicity, their
wonder and wanting to work to learn and love.
And then I saw the sorrow of Mary, our Mother,
when she told me to reach the schools with the
rosary and consecration. I saw her when she cried
out about the children every day for those last
nine months she appeared.
April 13, 2002 message continues
Messenger:
This is the Mother of God, sent as a messenger
from God to deliver this message to the earth
about the children. And when she appeared every
day for 14 months and they chased me away,
that ended her daily visits,
but we continued the rosaries as she requested
on the 5ths of each month and this has been since
April 5, 1995 when she called public gatherings
on the 5th of the month.
The pictures you see here April 5, 2002, 7
years later are still the call of Mary as we prayed
under Mary's image as we were told to do. She wants
the people of the earth to quit offending God and
obey the 10 commandments, she wants us to reach
the children and teach the world to pray.

Messenger:
This mission in Shepherds of Christ is from a message given
to Fr. Carter May 1994 to begin the Newsletter.
The priest at the funeral talked about the death
of the three year old, but there is hope.
Listen to the message Mary gave after she
appeared to me daily for 14 months and people
wouldn't listen.
Mary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Messenger: Oh
the little girl died, but she was in the arms
of her mother and grandma.
What about Mary's children that are not being
taught so many things about God, but
we teach them all about sports and
jobs and all the things that lead to
satisfaction here below, but what about
what Mary said about their souls.
Mary said in one visit, that the souls were falling
into hell like rain.
When I deliver the message, they focus on me
and won't believe me many times.
My heart is pierced with a sword as Mary
appears here.

Revelation 22: 1-2
Then the angel showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal–clear. Down the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations.

Messenger: I
am excited to go to China and pray with
all these people united in a live
broadcast for the priests, the Church and
the world and what is going on in
the Holy Land.
I was told by God that the Father would
answer my prayers if I pray to the
Father so deeply.
We will pray for His will, for peace and
grace to be released on the
world.
I sat in the funeral and I saw the little child,
but there is hope for she went home, but what
of all the children Mary is talking about
that will lose their souls forever.
Oh I see her and all I can do is
deliver the message and tell you what
she said and try to spread the meditations
on the rosary and try to reach the children
with the rosary and consecrations and
the messages and meditations, all that
Fr. Carter discerned very carefully.
Here is what Mary said at Fatima
we must do to have peace.
Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary—until a sufficient number of people make and live the consecration, we will not have peace in the world.
Praying the rosary.
Observing the First Saturday Devotion.
Making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Messenger: I pray you will listen to Fr. Carter.
If you wouldn't believe a Jesuit priest

theology who would you believe.
God gave messages to us, Fr. Carter and I.
Father Carter received a message to begin this
Movement. This is Jesus' Movement to help
renew the Church and the world. We are
human persons. How do you think
God would send a message?
Please look at these pictures
during our prayer meeting on the
5th of April.

was told to meet on the 5th of the month
because of the 5 first Saturdays
and the 5 wounds of Christ.
I see the little casket at the funeral.
I see the face of Mary.
I see the raindrops on the window when
she appeared and said the souls
were dropping into hell like
rain.
Hell is real.
Mary showed the Fatima children a vision
of hell.
Here is from a book Fr. Carter wrote.
Mary warned, Here is the message she
gave:
Excerpt from Father Carter's Book
The Spirituality of Fatima
July 13, 1917
(12)During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father.
To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. (13)

Excerpt from Father Carter's Book
The Spirituality of Fatima
In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:
The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners." (5)

end of excerpt from February 15, 2002
February 7, 2002
To whom it may concern,
We circulate the Priestly Newsletter that goes to 75,000 priests in the world. This has been circulated since 1994 at the direction of Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. who had a doctorate in Theology and taught at Xavier University for over thirty years and author of eighteen books on the spiritual life and many other various publications.
Our primary purpose is to circulate this Newsletter. We are now sending three years of Newsletters in a book of 342 pages to 75,000 priests in the United States and 90 foreign countries. A special Newsletter is enclosed with Father Carter's powerful writing on Grace (2001 issue 1). This writing is also available on tape and on disc.
Our coequal purpose is to circulate prayer manuals Father Carter compiled for prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and
the world.All of our printing and postage costs so much money.
We operate from the Virgin Mary building in Clearwater, Florida, pictures are enclosed. We use the building to spread materials and rosaries
to encourage people to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.We also have a church we received from the diocese in China, Indiana where we distribute our materials and pray before the Blessed Sacrament hourly and about two hours or more at 6:20 every day. Monthly adoration before the exposed Eucharist is held for our members for 48 hours on the 12th of each month to the 14th.
We have a third center in Morrow, Ohio which is our communication center and mailing address.
We circulate rosaries handmade to Catholic schools all over the United States and meditation sheets and consecration cards. We try to send scapulars too when we have them. We supply many beads to our rosary makers for this.
We had difficulty all last summer securing funds for beads for our rosary makers. We were not able to send the 100,000 or more rosaries we usually send in October and May because of funds.
We need $10,000 every month for the loan on the Virgin Mary building. We pray nightly there usually for about two hours or more at 6:20. We pray all through the day there, hourly, many times before the image. A big prayer meeting is held on the 5th of the month. Prayers are prayed for about 4 hours for the priests, the Church and the world. We broadcast to at least 8 states and all join in the prayers, including Morrow and China.
We have a nursing home ministry and a prison ministry. We supply coloring books of the rosary mysteries and the Mass to children.
We desperately need funds for the printing and the rosary making operation and all the postage. Bishops from foreign countries beg for rosaries and prayer sheets with the Shepherds of Christ Prayers.
Now we are struggling with the monthly rent on the building and the postage for the foreign mailing of the Priestly Newsletter Book II.
We always need money for the rosary beads for the schools and the Virgin Mary building.
We also do a Holy Spirit Novena, but the little book has been out of print for some time because of lack of funds. Teachers like to use it for confirmation. We have prayer chapters using it daily all over the world.
We want to circulate pictures of the crucifix and Mary's image on the building, we are unable to do this because of lack of funds. Enclosed are pictures of the crucifix and the Virgin Mary building.
A very important part of our Movement is trying to get people to say the Morning Offering. Here is a card we distribute extensively, especially to Nursing Homes and school children.
Here is a short form of consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we circulate extensively.
Can you help us. It is a real shame to not even have rent on the building Mary appears on.We need to tell the world about the Mass. This is another important aspect of our ministry. We have so many writings about the Mass. Mass Book I with the Imprimatur—and all Fr. Carter's writings and many other writings discerned by Fr Carter before his death.
It is a shame with all the money in the world not to be able to get the rosary beads to the rosary makers for school children who want them to pray the rosary.
Our movement is trying to do what Our Lady told us to do at Fatima for peace in the world.
Can you help us?
