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.

If you can't come to the Sidney Rosary,
stay united praying for the priests, the Church, and the world.
Pray especially for the mailing that is going on in China
and everything to do with the mailing.
Those who are able can connect with a live broadcast.
We will play the rosary again on April 30th and unite in
prayer that day,
but it is very important that we pray together tomorrow night, if possible,
because of the mailing and all our needs.
There will be rosary in Saginaw, Michigan
next Tuesday (April 23, 2002).

Messenger: My dear Jesus, I love You.
Yesterday we spent five hours united in
prayer praying for the priests, the Church and
the world and the trouble in the Holy Land.
We prayed so hard united to all the Masses
going on around the world. I felt so close to You Jesus
exposed in the Eucharist in our church in China, Indiana.
Today I want to say my morning offering and
pray for all these intentions again and all
the intentions for myself and my family
and the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I have been given very many directions to follow
from You, Jesus. Please grant a grace to all of us
members so we can do what You have asked us to do.
People in the Shepherds of Christ Movement
work hard to get the Newsletter in the hands
of the priests. Special people gave donations
to get the Priestly Newsletter in the hands
of the priests. I want to thank You Jesus
for them and pray for them, please help
them and their families.
We are all one family, loving each other
and wanting Your will to be done. Please
grant us the grace to love You so deeply
and to do Your will.
Jesus, please help people to see that
You asked Fr. Carter to begin the prayer
chapters and help us to begin more and
more prayer chapters. Help us with
the new video of how to pray the
6:20 prayers to teach people, that are
able, how to pray daily at 6:20.
This video is a video led by a very
holy priest.
Thank You Jesus for all the help and
gifts You have given to us.
Sometimes, Jesus, people get ideas and they
come to me and want me to join
their ideas with the Shepherds of Christ.
I must do what I am told to do. The
focus of the Shepherds of Christ are on:
The Priestly Newsletter
Prayer Chapters
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart
all these were begun and approved by
Fr. Carter.
Our next focus is
Making rosaries
Spreading rosary meditations discerned
by Fr. Carter.
Circulating the Blue Books
Rosary Videos and discs with
the straight rosaries.
We stick very close to what Fr. Carter
our founder approved of.
We must maintain the purity of
the movement at all costs.
All translations except those
approved by Fr. Carter must
have the Imprimatur.
The 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th,
10th Blue Books were never
released because Fr. Carter was
not here to discern them.
Fr. Carter said he hung on every word
when he discerned the material, he
did it four times.
We have a very competent priest
helping us with the movement
today and a man who studied
theology a good part of his
life checks all our materials,
also another priest is available
for reference.
We have a very directed mission, Jesus,
and we do what our founder
set down.
The purity of the movement and the
things Fr. Carter approved of
are what is in the movement.
My relationship with God, all three
Persons and all the angels and saints
and the people of the earth
has deepened.
I love the souls so deeply. I feel
connected to the souls in
purgatory and unite with all of
these when I pray so deeply.
I pray to the Father, in the Name of Jesus,
united to the Mass, in the Holy Spirit
with all the angels and saints and the
souls in purgatory and I pray united
to many here below for the world and
the Church to be as God wills.
This is our mission to pray for the
priests, the Church and the world.
Oh God, please help us.
There are lots of ideas out there—
we were directed and guided
by our founder, Fr. Carter, the
Movement was set up by him.
Our mission—
personal holiness

Messenger: Also on the 13th of the month we pray and
unite with others praying by broadcast.
We pray so deeply united as a body for
the priests, the Church and the world.
I opened the Blue Book Volume #1 and
here is what Jesus told me
Be At Joy In My Hot Air Balloon {Excerpt}
December 7, 1993 - 3:30a.m.
Jesus speaks: Let go, child. Be at joy in My hot air balloon. You are in the balloon I have picked for you. I blow you about but you never fear. I am guarding you. You fly as on eagles' wings. You run and do not get weary. You are operated by Me and I know what is best for you. It is only in love I give all things to you. You stay fixed in Me and I operate you on your way.

I do try so hard Jesus to maintain the
purity in the movement and
do what we were directed to
do by Fr. Carter.
Fr. Carter was really careful about
everything and telling me what to
do after his death.
I just want to stick to spreading the
Newsletter and beginning prayer
chapters and spreading the
morning offering and rosary and
consecration cards and tell people
about the Mass.
Jesus I want to let go totally, but Fr. Carter
told us how concerned we had to be
about the purity of the movement,
we just don't put things out there,
everything is checked very carefully
and discerned by a Catholic priest. The
bulk of the material was discerned by Fr. Carter.
Now the material is more directions for the
movement and living a deeper spiritual life.
We really miss Fr. Carter.
I know he is helping us from above.
But God gave us so much in those 6
years he set up the Movement.
Fr. Carter taught us a lot.
Jesus I want to pray for vocations to all
seven categories like Father Carter did.
I want to spend time with You Jesus,
You are everything to me. When I
go to Mass, I want to give
everything to You and spend that
time loving You so deeply.
John and I and the priest who helps us, have to do
all we can to maintain the purity in the
Movement as directed by Fr. Carter
when he was living.
My main focus is always You, Jesus.
I am Your beloved spouse, I love You
so much Jesus, You are the Bridegroom
of my soul.
My whole desire is to love and serve You
more and be more deeply united to You.
Jesus I give You myself.
I must say this, I pray that people in
Foreign Countries adhere to the
wishes of Fr. Carter that nothing
is translated and circulated
without the Imprimatur. Anyone wanting
to translate must realize, the materials must
have the Imprimatur before being circulated.
We need the Imprimatur on the Little Peoples
Coloring Books.
These meditations were all discerned
by Fr. Carter and have been
translated in Spanish.
They come from the Little People and
Elderly Rosary Meditation Book.
This is in big print, it is very, very
short meditations.

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."

77th Anniversary of Mary's appearance at Fatima
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."

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
Here is a message from Jesus
given to Father Carter.Father Carter did not reveal the date
when Jesus gave this message.
February 1996
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:
- 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.
- For the Pope.
- For all bishops of the world.
- For all priests.
- For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
- For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
- For all members of the Catholic Church.
- For all members of the human family.
- For all souls in purgatory.

Tell My People, given to Fr Carter.
from Tell My People
Jesus speaks: "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.
"After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"

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?
