Message of March 5, 2007
53 times in the Rosary we say
pray for us sinners and 53 times we
say Hail Mary full of grace —Why should we say the rosary —
we are all sinners — Jesus came and
died for our sins.Sing Song and
Holy is His Name
Luke 1: 46-55
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
Sing Song and
Holy is His NameWe can trust God
We can let go
We give Him ourselvesWe give ourselves body and soul to God
It is freedom we seek when we
give ourselves to God.Freedom is surrendering to God's
willRather than enslavement when we
are selfish and give into satan and
we sin in pride and anger —
envy — lust — etc. —Freedom in surrendering to God's
will —Holiness —
Sing and Holy is His Name
God has all the power
He has revealed to us His power
and His gloryWe are the tainted children of Eve
God is loveMary is Mary Immaculate —
Pure and Immaculate —We offer ourselves to God —
Our sacrifice united to Jesus
in the Mass —Jesus gives us the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass —We unite ourselves united to the
sacrifice of Jesus in such oneness
in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass —We beg for mercy at the Lamb of
God —We offer ourselves to the Father —
united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice with
all the angels and saints and the souls
in purgatory — through the
intercession of Mary —To be holy —
To be more perfected like our Father —
To thank Jesus for being our SaviorSong: A Song from Jesus
We say "Yes God"
"Yes God"
"Yes God"We do not seek dominance for
dominance sake —We recognize when we do not
live according to the proper
structure as God intends
we can choke off the power
coming to us through the
line of authority given to us
by God.Sing Song: Ashes
Sing Song
Holy Holy is His Nameand say "Yes God"
See the purity of Mary
Say Hail Mary full of grace
Say We are sinnerHail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. * Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Sing: Hail Mary Gentle Woman
We have a fallen human nature, but
when we go to the Eucharist —
sit in front of the tabernacle —
He gives us His grace — we receive
more and more grace andWe are lifted out of the "muck" when
God outpours His grace — especially
when we go to the EucharistIn lent we may feel abandoned
We may feel lonely
We may feel misunderstood —God allows us to suffer —
We may be more identified with
Him in the passion during lent.Think of a diver —
He may go deeper and deeper into
the water the more experienced
he gets and he sees more and more the
beauty of the dark ocean —
seeing the floor of the body of
water —
exploring to him what is an uncharted
path —IN — DEEPER AND DEEPER
TRAINING for his journey
We are here for the tuning up like the
instruments before the orchestra
starts to play —We may sound like "eek-eek" tuning
up with our wounded human
nature and the people around us
say "ah - oh"Our pride can keep us stuck so
when God is outpouring His
healing grace - we may be blocking
the work God is trying to do in us
with pride and anger and
a hardened heart —Praying the Hail Mary is
LOVE —
LOVEHail Mary full of grace
. . .
We are sinners
Pray for us sinnersPraying with docility —
recognizing our sins
saying we are sorry
and forgiving others —When we are like this docile,
recognizing our faults,
loving —We open the door of our heart
so God can come in and
heal us —Yes God —
I say Yes to Holiness —
Fill me with Your grace —
I let go to You —
I let go of anger —
I let go of hatred
I do not give into Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath,
Jealous, Lust, Gluttony, SlothWe do not give into wounded human
nature and act taintedly —We see Mary —
We want to be pure —
Not wanting more out of any relationship
than God wants —
too much affection —
too much division for a fight to
work out old anger and giving
into satanThe devil wants us to act incorrectly —
he parades as an angel of light —
then he twists things to go off
somewhere down the line ——My soul proclaims the greatness
of the Lord —I want holiness for myself
Mary help us to be more like you —
to say we are sorry - when
we hurt others and have given
into othersHelp us not to block the work God
has called us to in helping
the souls and building His
KingdomSing Song
and Holy is His NameDear God help us
not to be rebellious
seeking dominance for dominance sake
but to obey Your holy lawSing and Holy is His Name
and say "Yes, God"
Sing to the babies — the song of holiness
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. * Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
This is a gift —
To receive grace to grow in greater holiness —
Thanking all who have helped us through
their teaching and prayersThis is a special day — to open the
door of our hearts before Mass and
go in there and focus on Jesus who
gives us Himself at Mass —
who comes to us in the Holy Eucharist
and is truly present —
loving us so intimatelySing and Holy is His Name
Holy is His Name
Lack of following God's will causes us grief
in the end.Another lesson from God.
God wants us in heaven with Him —
God is molding us in His precious oven,
His Sacred Heart
God wants us loving — being other focused —
no person or thing taking precedence
over God
Say "yes" to God's will in this lies our happiness.
Mary said "yes" —
Hail Mary
We are here to love —
What good does it do us if we aren't doing
it for love of God.
Look into the Bloody face of Jesus —
What makes us think we will not be called
to look into the Bloody face
of Jesus this lent.Say Hail Mary
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. * Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
We say it — Hail Mary full of grace.
We are sinners pray for us
53 times in every rosarySeeing that contrast between
Mary the New Eve
Us - poor sinners - the poor banished children
of EveMary Immaculate —
Mary conceived without sin
Mary Mother of God
Mary - Mary - Mary — all pure
(Holy) isn't Mary holy — Mary — full of grace
I want to be holy
Jesus might say:
Look into My face
Know My love
See My gifts given —
I give you the ChurchI give you the sacraments —
Baptism
Penance
the Eucharist ...I give you My gifts —
Say "yes" — help Me to renew the Church and the
world to pray as I have asked for your
beloved priests, the Church and the world —Rita: Help in this vocation in the Shepherds of Christ to support
the Shepherds of Christ with your
prayers and sending love and encouragement
to your priests through the Priestly
NewsletterWe all fall — we can be healed — look into
the Bloody face of Jesus and say —
"Pray for us sinners"
This is what lent is all aboutHelp us God to answer our vocation in the
Shepherds of Christ to help build up the Kingdom
of GodLook at the crucifix and see how Jesus
died on the cross for our sinsMary says pray the rosary and say —
"pray for us sinners"Holy Holy is His Name
In meditating what it means for me to
run the Shepherds of Christ Movement — I see
we are to be one — that God called each
person uniquely to this mission — each and every
person has a responsibility to pray for the
Newsletter and the prayer chapters and to see
how their donations — large and small helps us
send it to the English speaking priests
of this world — a real gift of love —

Fr. John video - Coming Soon
In spreading the Newsletter we are nourishing the
priests and sending them our love —
helping to spread the devotion to the Hearts
of love and purity — the Sacred Heart and
Immaculate HeartOn the back page of every Newsletter is this
We must spread the knowledge of the gifts given to us in the
Eucharist — the gift of our beloved
priest and our responsibility as members
of the body of Christ to pray for our
priests and the world. Start a prayer chapter —
help us send this precious Newsletter to our priests
Sing and Holy is His Name
God created us with these talents to help promote
His Kingdom —Our lives are to be lived to be a light,
to lead others to love
This is the program of God
This is the vision of the Father
If you drink a bottle of poison you
might die —
The world has a different vision
If we suck in the vision of the world
so we become numb to what
God wants — we have to change —Consecration to the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus
and Mary teaches us about love —
It is an extension of our baptismal vows
We want to be sensitive to the things of God —
We want to thirst after His Body and Blood
We want to see with a wider vision — the
vision of the Father — purity
in seeing what God wantsWe go to confession —
We want to fill our hearts with the vision
of God and
turn away from the vision of the world.We chose this purity to have the vision
of the Father —
We don't drink poison
We say the Our Father —
Lead us not into temptationGod has called us for a very short time
here, to learn, to love, to give
to be His light in the world —
So His life will live in us and
we are doing His work in the world —I want myself - filled with His life —
so He deeply lives in me - in all
I do — reading the scriptures —
playing with my grandchildren —
God lives in meThe more we consecrate ourselves to Jesus
and Mary and live the Shepherds of Christ Vocation — the
more we become one in Him —
the words in the Mass — the scriptures
become so alive in us —What a promise — to pray the prayers —
go to the Eucharist — live a more holy
life and to experience deeper and deeper
life in Him.Here is a message Fr. Carter got when he got the
prayers.
July 31, 1994
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)
Deuteronomy 30: 15-20
‘Look, today I am offering you life and prosperity, death and disaster. If you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am laying down for you today, if you love Yahweh your God and follow his ways, if you keep his commandments, his laws and his customs, you will live and grow numerous, and Yahweh your God will bless you in the country which you are about to enter and make your own. But if your heart turns away, if you refuse to listen, if you let yourself be drawn into worshipping other gods and serving them, I tell you today, you will most certainly perish; you will not live for long in the country which you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. Today, I call heaven and earth to witness against you: I am offering you life or death, blessing or curse. Choose life, then, so that you and your descendants may live, in the love of Yahweh your God, obeying his voice, holding fast to him; for in this your life consists, and on this depends the length of time that you stay in the country which Yahweh swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he would give them.’
Sing Song: Choose Life
Think of people out there being tempted
and saying it's okay not to live by the
commandmentsAnd Holy is His Name
We are the light — God has sent to show
our children and their children and
the children of the world
You are a light to the world
Sing Song: Choose Life

Say "yes" for the souls that
could be lost —Help me
Listen to the message of the Shepherds of Christ —
here is the message of my heart —How precious is a soul that the Son
of God came to this earth — shed His
Blood and He died —I can't stand it to think of souls
going to hell —Please help me with your vocation
in the Shepherds of Christ, praying for the priests,
the Church and the world.Hell is forever and I don't want
anyone going thereI cry to see the sinfulness of this world —
Sing: Choose Life

These words are etched in my soulThe voice of the Good Shepherd speaks

of His Heart —Choose Life

Ecces Fides — Say "Yes"
to defending your faith and
living your vocation in the Shepherds of Christ
send love to your priests in prayer and supportWe remember the scripture that
says Jesus will hold us in the palm of
His Hand.Where our name is etched in the palm
of the hand of Jesus — next to His glorified
wound."Yes"
The nail pierced His hand for our sins.
We come up and act like God doesn't see
what we are doing — many times —Did you see Him hang on the
cross — did we see the thorns that
pierced His Head, the whips at the
pillar —If Jesus appeared hanging on the cross
would you see Him so weakened and covered
with Blood —Cry - we would cry —
For He endured it for our sins
Is the death etched in our souls
and the resurrection is the life we
know living in us.Etched - like - nails now glorified were carved
in His hand.If you pray the prayers — support
the Newsletter — it can majorly help
us to renew the Church and the world —Our lives are very short and the
hairs on our head are numbered —

mission.Help me — please help me
