Messenger: This is an old message discerned by Fr. Carter.
Jesus is calling special apostles to join
a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
Here is a message from Jesus to Fr. Carter.
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:
- 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.

Fr. Carter told me Jesus told him to
help me any way he could.
Fr. Carter told me that he was to be
my spiritual director.
He told me the Blue Books were as much
mine as his.
Mary began appearing daily to me
July 5, 1994.
Fr. Carter said Jesus and Mary told him
to go to the apparitions July 10, 1994.
He then went every day for about
4 months when the prayer chapters
started, he started circulating the
priestly newsletter to all 45,000 priests
in United States — He wrote the Spirituality
Handbook at the direction of Jesus and
the Prayer Manual (one book then)
and compiled the messages of
Tell My People —
all that summer 94 —
As Mary appeared daily at 6:30 and also some
times in the morning I received the
following messages concerning
Fr. Carter, the newsletter and
the Messages.
Some other old messages and writings
are included from August — December 1994.

Messenger:
Mary appeared August 5, 1994 at Our Lady of
Holy Spirit Center here is what she said for
Fr. Carter.
August 5, 1994
Mary speaks: Every thing you do will be by the hand of God.
You will be given all that you need to write all
of my Son's messages. You will speak from
Him, you have been chosen to do this
very special work which will bring the priests
back to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and
I am Mary, I am your Mother, you will
be given the graces needed to accomplish each task,
you should never worry for you are escorted
by a band of angels. I am constantly by
your side, you are my beloved chosen one,
I will see to the accomplishment of this task
and all tasks you are called to.
I am Mary your mother and thank you
for being my beloved priest-son. I love
you, Your loving Mother.
Messenger: She is still appearing to me.
August 14, 1994
Jesus speaks: Sweet child, I have such work for
you and Fr. Carter,
the devil will attack you.
You I have chosen to spread the
devotion of Our Hearts to this world.
Revelation 11: 1-14
The two witnesses
Then I was given a long cane like a measuring rod, and I was told, 'Get up and measure God's sanctuary, and the altar, and the people who worship there; but exclude the outer court and do not measure it, because it has been handed over to gentiles -- they will trample on the holy city for forty-two months. But I shall send my two witnesses to prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamps in attendance on the Lord of the world. Fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies if anyone tries to harm them; and anyone who tries to harm them will certainly be killed in this way. They have the power to lock up the sky so that it does not rain as long as they are prophesying; they have the power to turn water into blood and strike the whole world with any plague as often as they like. When they have completed their witnessing, the beast that comes out of the Abyss is going to make war on them and overcome them and kill them. Their corpses lie in the main street of the great city known by the symbolic names Sodom and Egypt, in which their Lord was crucified. People of every race, tribe, language and nation stare at their corpses, for three-and-a-half days, not letting them be buried, and the people of the world are glad about it and celebrate the event by giving presents to each other, because these two prophets have been a plague to the people of the world.'
After the three-and-a-half days, God breathed life into them and they stood up on their feet, and everybody who saw it happen was terrified; then I heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, 'Come up here,' and while their enemies were watching, they went up to heaven in a cloud. Immediately, there was a violent earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand persons were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors, overcome with fear, could only praise the God of heaven.
That was the second of the disasters; the third is to come quickly after it.

This message was received before a live statue of the Sorrowful Mother after Communion.
Message from Jesus: "Peace will abound when nations, churches, families and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
"Fr. Carter is a pillar of light to the dark world. This is the explanation of the photo. It is through him, I will turn darkness to light. Circulate this message with the picture. Encourage all to consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to join the Shepherds of Christ Chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement to pray for your Church and your world. This is My Movement for renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining your every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to Our Hearts, especially on First Fridays and First Saturdays. It is through your prayers and sacrifices many souls will be helped to be saved. Grace will flow from those whose hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire of My Love will light up this darkened world."
As you look at the picture, you see Fr. Carter's arm and hand on your left. This picture of Fr. Carter was taken July 2, 1996 at the Tuesday Shepherds of Christ Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus' Farm.end of July 4, 1996 message

she was aglow
Mary speaks:
I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I want you and Fr. Carter to spread devotion
to Our Hearts.
Do not be afraid, I am truly here and
I want you to write this message.
I was so close to you then, I am
with you now. Continue your rosary.
I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I come to give you this message. You
will experience a realm of peace,
but first you will know such trials.
Do not be discouraged for My Son will
be close to you in your anguish.
You must know that all that happens
is for reasons you do not comprehend.
Do not ask questions of me or Him.
Give yourself in total surrender to Our Hearts.
No one can take away Our love.
| (before I even knew He would give me songs.) |
If the whole world does not believe you, you will still be steadfast in Our love. These are trials you must withstand to learn lessons you need to learn. I do not want to frighten you. You will sing, you will speak you must be patient and let the plan of the Father unfold as it will. |
Do not question — give yourself in total
surrender.
Fr. Carter will be persecuted, this is to strengthen
him for his great works that are to come.
Stay so steadfast in the love of me and my Son.
You will give strength to one another.
Do not be afraid, stay forever fixed in
Our love.
No person can ever take away Our love.
This is your anchor in all storms,
We are forever with you, guarding you and
protecting you. Do not wander ever
from Our love, it is that which
sustains you. Your trials are
necessary for your advancement.
Do not question. I am forever your
beloved mother and always by your side.
NOTE (This was at the beginning she appeared every day for almost 13 months after this)
Pray the rosary every day here at 6:30
this will be the warmth to a cold night.
I love you so much. I will continue to
come and be with you here in a special
way. You will know my presence.
I am forever with you both. I love
you so very much.

Excerpt from Newsletter 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.
January 2, 1999
Mary speaks: I am Our Lady of Snows. I come to cover the earth with a soft white blanket of my love.
I come to bring peace to the earth. I tell you to let go of the anxiety in your heart and experience my peace and His love.
I am your heavenly Mother. I come to hold you and caress you and take you to my Immaculate Heart.
April 26, 2003 message continues
Messenger:
There was a very strong message
Fr. Carter received from Jesus
himself written in his own
handwriting on August 9, 1994.
This message Our Lord gave and one of the
few he received and wrote down.
This is a reference for the Church of the
importance of Fr. Carter and My
Apostleship of His Sacred Heart.
August 9, 1994
Jesus speaks:
Trust Me My child as a child who crawls
into their mother's arms. The child is not
afraid of being hurt. The baby is picked
up and then ceases to cry. Be as the baby
who is held and caressed by a loving
parent. The baby is totally at peace. They
know the touch of the parent. They totally
surrender into their arms.
There is no stiffening in their body, it
becomes a total release of self into the
arms of the loving mother.
Release child, total yielding into my
arms. I will tuck you forever in my
most Sacred Heart. My Heart is warm, My
heart has the tender constant beat of
My love. This is your soothing balm, to
be cradled to sleep by the sound of
My beating heart. You rest in me in
total peace. Total surrender, total
letting go. Be as the baby at the breast.
I am the Good Shepherd, I know mine
and they follow me. I caress you so closely
in My Heart. My Mother places you so gently
in the very recesses of My Heart. Be at peace
My child.
This is peace, total surrender to God.
You constantly hear a soft beating of My Heart.
It is constantly lulling you to sleep. It never
stops, it is plugged into a source of undying
love. It never runs out, I am the almighty
God with a Heart on fire for love of you,
My precious one. Total surrender, total
yielding, total trust in the God who
died for you, Who gave His very life for love
of you.
I am the Good Shepherd, I fondle you in
My Heart. Total trust to Me. Be at such
peace.
I am He who ardently loves you, every
minute of the day. Come to Me My babies,
I call you to My loving Heart.
You need to have this total submission, a
total release of anything that holds you
back. Total trust in me as a loving
shepherd.
Oh sweet one, surrender your all. Satan
constantly wants you to hold back. Release
yourselves into the recesses of My Heart. Be lost
in the fold of My love and be lulled to sleep
by the beats of My Heart.
I love you so much My sweet one. Never
hold back anything from Me.
August 20, 1994
Mary speaks: Dear child,
Do not be discouraged, I am your mother
I will not let my Son's messages to you
go unnoticed. I will see to their publishing
do not worry, do exactly as you are
doing. Stay close to Fr. Carter, your
work for Us is so interlocked with
Our Hearts. You must trust always
in God. He has a plan for you and
you will be a big part of this plan.
Your messages are very important
to this world. Your love is paramount
for the spread of this message. Trust
always that I Mary will see to
the distribution of these messages,
you are worrying needlessly. These
messages are a big part to help souls.
Many hearts will turn toward the love of
Our two Hearts from these messages.
Continue to pray and offer your
whole life up for the spread of
devotion to the Two Hearts. I am
forever your most loving Mother and
thank you for responding to
this call. I your mother love you
so much my sweet child.

Pray for Newsletter for Priests, Shepherds of Christ
Messenger: The most pleasing sacrifice to the Father is the precious Body and Blood of Christ. When the priest, who represents Christ, offers the sacrifice to the Father, we are giving ourselves also as a sacrifice to the Father.
Many prayers could be magnified everyday if people offered up their lives with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. When you live your daily lives according to the will of the Father and offer them up to Him, with all the masses being said around the world — this is such a powerful prayer!
Jesus speaks: I ask you to pray for the success of My priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. I am the Good Shepherd, I know mine and they follow Me. I want to draw all My precious ones so close to My Heart.
My heart is ablaze for the love of each and every soul. I love each child so tenderly. I want to spread this burning love to My beloved ones, through My specially anointed priests.
When the love of My Sacred Heart shines from the hearts of all, the world will be set aglow with My love. I have spoken directly to Fr. Carter in this newsletter, in a special way, to spread My love to My beloved anointed priests.
Offer your days in union with the Mass being offered throughout the world for the success of the newsletter. Pray for the priests who receive this newsletter that their hearts will be open and they will hear the voice of God speaking to them.
Oh, children, I love each soul -- I would die this very day for each one! Please pray for your brothers. Do not waste one valuable moment of your day. Offer each moment up as a prayer to your heavenly Father through My body and blood being offered in the Masses around the world. Souls will be lost forever. Many souls do not know My most precious love. Pray for the priests. One priest can touch so many of My beloved ones, or one priest can lead so many astray.
Please pray for this endeavor. I am your precious Jesus, on fire for love of you this day!
November 23, 1994
Jesus speaks: My beloved priest son,
I am your Savior, I love you with the
tenderest Heart. I have called you in a
special way to bring my deepest love
to this world. I thank you for your
openness and your obedience to My
Father. You, My precious one, will
set many hearts on fire with My
deep love. I give to you My deepest
love. I am your Jesus, I am your
Savior, I am your all, I Am Who
Am, I am God. I give such
love to all My precious souls,
Thank you for spreading this love
for me.
I love you, Jesus
Message Given November 1994
Feed My lambs. Feed My sheep. I come to bring nourishment for My flock. Nourish them with My love. Do you not see clearly that they are hungry for My love? They are fed by this love. To hold up My messages any longer is to hold up their nourishment. These are My love letters written to all My precious children. I call you to obey. Publish these messages.Jesus speaks:
Message given December 18, 1994 - Sunday
Jesus speaks: My beloved priest-son,
(6 years later Father Carter died on December 18, 2000)
I would like the Blue Books used by the members of the chapters of the Shepherds of Christ. If they so desire, they can read these messages and your messages at meetings. All the Blue Books should be published as soon as possible, as they deal with the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother.
I love you with the dearest love and thank you for your faithful service to bring the priests to the heart of My Mother and My most Sacred Heart. I am burning for love of My priestly sons. You are so special to My Heart, I have forever written your name in My most Sacred Heart. It is through this most special movement that My Church will be led back to the on fire love of My Heart, through My Mother's heart. I am forever guarding you and keeping you deeply in My Sacred Heart. I love you with this My most tender burning love.
I am your Most Sacred Heart,
Jesus
Message given December 27, 1994 - After Communion
Message for Father Carter:
Jesus speaks: My beloved priest-son,
I have chosen you to spread My light and My love to this world. It is through this Newsletter to My beloved priests I will give My love to so many hurting souls.
I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I thank you for responding to My call to write and publish this Newsletter. I thank all who are involved in this Movement. My blessings are forever given to all who promote this endeavor, Shepherds of Christ. I am Chief Shepherd of the Flock and I give to you My greatest love. Your prayers for the priests will turn many hearts to the love of My most Sacred Heart through My Mother's Heart.
This Christmas season, I turn to you and thank you for responding to this call. I ask you to continue with greater fervor to support this Movement as it extends to every corner of this earth. My flock will return to the love of My most Sacred Heart through your prayers and support. Pray fervently everyday for all priests of this world. Pray fervently for the success of this Movement. Pray for all priests who read this letter to receive and cooperate with the grace I am giving to them through your prayers. Pray to the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of the priests reading My Newsletter. Your prayers will help light up the dark world when My love grows ever brighter in the hearts of My priests.
I ask you to make this commitment to pray every day in your Morning Offering for the priests and the Movement, Shepherds of Christ. Pray at Mass for priests to be drawn ever closer to My Sacred Heart. Pray that they cooperate with the grace I am giving to them.
I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock. I thank you for your prayers and give you great graces to lead you, My beloved ones, ever closer to My most Sacred Heart. Come and dwell in My Heart. I love you so much.

Jesus' Message for Fr. Carter
Dear Father,
You have a whole movement of Chapters that is dependent on you for their spiritual direction. It is through their union with Jesus that they will pray for the priests and many priests will be changed.
I am calling you to intense union with Me. My brothers and sisters. Read: Blue Book p. 68, The Sheep, p. 114 and p. 35. Circulate the second Blue Book in the Chapters. Have the second Blue Book printed and make sure every member has a copy and they are supported. Encourage your members to spread the second Blue Book to nuns and priests.
I am Jesus. Hearts will turn to My on fire love when you circulate these messages in the first and second Blue Book and the rosary books. Publish the songs in the rosary book. Circulate the tapes on the handbook and the tape of My love songs. I am Jesus. I am giving you graces to move steadfastly ahead.
Do not focus on the Center and the Farm, focus on the Movement. As the members of the Chapters grow deeper and deeper in their love of Me, their intercessory prayers will be greater and greater.
When the Chapters are fed with the love of God they will pray united with Me to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and many priests' hearts will be changed.
Fr. Carter, you are the spiritual director of all the members of Shepherds of Christ. It is through your direction millions of souls will unite to My Heart. You are called to this mission because of My great love for you. It is through you that I will renew the Church and the world.
Satan is pressing down and causing confusion. Your job is to spread the burning love of God to every soul in the world. I am giving you great graces. I love you. Jesus
August 2, 1995
Messenger: Dear Father,
When we went to Falmouth the first time you told me
to lead the rosary. I didn't think I could do it.
Mary told me to give you the rosary
with the crucifix from my Mother's
rosary. My 48th birthday was my best
birthday. This was a gift from my
Mother Mary and My Mother. She
died when she was 48, but she gave
me the gift of the rosary, just a
joy to my life and you share this
great gift of the rosary from them,
you are a great gift to me. I lost
my mother, my great love and you are
my great love leading me closer and closer
to Jesus as my Mother Mary and My Mother.
Love, Rita

Genesis Chapter 3
The Fall
Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this,
Accursed be you
of all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Genesis 4: 8-15
Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let us go out’; and while they were in the open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and killed him.
Yahweh asked Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I do not know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s guardian?’ ‘What have you done?’ Yahweh asked. ‘Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground. Now be cursed and banned from the ground that has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood at your hands. When you till the ground it will no longer yield up its strength to you. A restless wanderer you will be on earth.’ Cain then said to Yahweh, ‘My punishment is greater than I can bear. Look, today you drive me from the surface of the earth. I must hide from you, and be a restless wanderer on earth. Why, whoever comes across me will kill me!’ ‘Very well, then,’ Yahweh replied, ‘whoever kills Cain will suffer a sevenfold vengeance.’ So Yahweh put a mark on Cain, so that no one coming across him would kill him.
Genesis 6: 5-22
THE FLOODB:
The corruption of humanity
Yahweh saw that human wickedness was great on earth and that human hearts contrived nothing but wicked schemes all day long. Yahweh regretted having made human beings on earth and was grieved at heart. And Yahweh said, ‘I shall rid the surface of the earth of the human beings whom I created–human and animal, the creeping things and the birds of heaven–for I regret having made them.’ But Noah won Yahweh’s favour.
This is the story of Noah:
Noah was a good man, an upright man among his contemporaries, and he walked with God. Noah fathered three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. God saw that the earth was corrupt and full of lawlessness. God looked at the earth: it was corrupt, for corrupt were the ways of all living things on earth.
Preparations for the flood
God said to Noah, ‘I have decided that the end has come for all living things, for the earth is full of lawlessness because of human beings. So I am now about to destroy them and the earth. Make yourself an ark out of resinous wood. Make it of reeds and caulk it with pitch inside and out. This is how to make it: the length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. Make a roof to the ark, building it up to a cubit higher. Put the entrance in the side of the ark, which is to be made with lower, second and third decks.
‘For my part I am going to send the flood, the waters, on earth, to destroy all living things having the breath of life under heaven; everything on earth is to perish. But with you I shall establish my covenant and you will go aboard the ark, yourself, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives along with you. From all living creatures, from all living things, you must take two of each kind aboard the ark, to save their lives with yours; they must be a male and a female. Of every species of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that creeps along the ground, two must go with you so that their lives may be saved. For your part, provide yourself with eatables of all kinds, and lay in a store of them, to serve as food for yourself and them.’ Noah did this; exactly as God commanded him, he did.
Genesis 9: 1-17
The new world order
God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Breed, multiply and fill the earth. Be the terror and the dread of all the animals on land and all the birds of heaven, of everything that moves on land and all the fish of the sea; they are placed in your hands. Every living thing that moves will be yours to eat, no less than the foliage of the plants. I give you everything, with this exception: you must not eat flesh with life, that is to say blood, in it. And I shall demand account of your life–blood, too. I shall demand it of every animal, and of man. Of man as regards his fellow–man, I shall demand account for human life.
He who sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed,
for in the image of God
was man created.
Be fruitful then and multiply,
teem over the earth and subdue it!’God spoke as follows to Noah and his sons, ‘I am now establishing my covenant with you and with your descendants to come, and with every living creature that was with you: birds, cattle and every wild animal with you; everything that came out of the ark, every living thing on earth. And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.’
‘And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.’ ‘That’, God told Noah, ‘is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.’

Genesis 17: 1-2
When Abram was ninety–nine years old Yahweh appeared to him and said, ‘I am El Shaddai. Live in my presence, be perfect, and I shall grant a covenant between myself and you, and make you very numerous.’
Moses was found in the basket.
Exodus 2: 1-8
The birth of Moses
There was a man descended from Levi who had taken a woman of Levi as his wife. She conceived and gave birth to a son and, seeing what a fine child he was, she kept him hidden for three months. When she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him; coating it with bitumen and pitch, she put the child inside and laid it among the reeds at the River’s edge. His sister took up position some distance away to see what would happen to him.
Now Pharaoh’s daughter went down to bathe in the river, while her maids walked along the riverside. Among the reeds she noticed the basket, and she sent her maid to fetch it. She opened it and saw the child: the baby was crying. Feeling sorry for it, she said, ‘This is one of the little Hebrews.’ The child’s sister then said to Pharaoh’s daughter, ‘Shall I go and find you a nurse among the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?’ ‘Yes,’ said Pharaoh’s daughter, and the girl went and called the child’s own mother.
April 26, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks:
Coming to grips with truth may be
the hardest thing you ever do,
but it will be the very thing
that may restore life to ones
body and greater life to the soul.
Because of the sin of Adam and Eve you
see the fallen human race, but
do you see the human race
falling every day —
legalized abortion
pornography in grocery stores, airports ...
contraceptive devices in bathrooms
in gas stations so little girls can say
to mommy "Mommy what is that?"
Sunday may be the biggest days for
sales and recreation sites,
spas, golf, etc while the
local Church may be ignored —
I speak to you of alcoholic abuse and
drug addiction which can go to other
addictions, overweight, workaholics,
abusive, sexual, shopping, gambling —
any compulsive behavior that has
gotten out of hand and the individual
allows themselves to be controlled by a
substance or some addictive behavior
which harms the individual and those
with whom they relate to, family, work,
friends etc.
ADDICTION —
The overuse of alcohol and drugs by
some leads to death.
The alcoholic is usually in denial.
A person addicted to drugs and alcohol
needs to dispense with the use
of those drugs he is addicted to
or the drink he is addicted to.
An alcoholic can say "oh it is okay to
have a few beers," but many cannot
stop, if they stop at two today,
they will most likely over indulge
at some other point.
The life of an alcoholic husband or wife,
mother or father can be caught
up in the dysfunction of the
disease and become very sick
themselves.
How many sick wives or husbands,
moms or dads have spent their
life chasing the alcoholic —
realizing nothing they do will
stop the alcoholic if he does
not make the decision himself to
stop his addiction.
Many alcoholic and drug addicted
persons have ended in death. Many
are never cured because they won't
decide to give up the drink or
drug completely in the end.
Once a person has gone through the
proper treatment to dry out or
be drug free they can be
tempted to do drink or drugs again
and again. One bottle of beer, one
nagging relative drinking can
be an open door to someone who has
had sobriety for many years.
The alcoholic in AA admits he is an
alcoholic. Many alcoholics have
been healed because of these steps.
STEP
1) Many alcoholics have admitted their
lives are unmanageable and their
lives are out of control.
2) Many alcoholics know that I can
help them and they admit it.
3) Many alcoholics know that only
I can help restore their lives
to sanity and come to Me,
and are willing to let Me help them.
They turn their lives and their
wills over to Me.
4) The alcoholics that are cured and
recover positively make a
fearless inventory, they do
not lie to themselves.
They tell others they have injured they
are sorry, unless it would hurt them
and ask for forgiveness.
In an alcoholic home, the alcoholic
very often controls things and every
one else' lives according to his
"bouts" of alcohol and moves.
Usually there is an enabler that
rescues and rescues and they allow
themselves to be controlled by
the alcoholic.
Help is needed to look at the problem
honestly. Many are in denial.
Like an elephant in the living
room — everyone tip-toes around
denying the problem and the
alcoholic continues to control
and conduct the dance.
Alcoholism is a disease that leads
to death for many when untreated.
The alcoholic is successful
usually only if he gives up
the addicted drug or alcohol
in the end.
Drinking a little is like teasing the body,
but some on drugs must go through
treatment and careful observation to
get off of drugs.
The one infected by alcohol has a
disease — he must quit drinking —
many alcoholics deny they have
any problem —
they even talk about other alcoholics
and their problems —
some manipulate events and want
the drink at all costs —
they continually hurt the family
and close related love ones —
because they are controlled
by the drink, many lie outright
to keep drinking, some hide
it, many enablers give the
alcoholic the attention they
desire rescuing and rescuing
and the alcoholic stays stuck
in the mess, not taking
responsibility for their actions.
The whole family is usually sick —
doing the dance, led by the
alcoholic,
Many have lived the 12 step program,
and have had productive lives,
young men who were addicted
marrying and having a very nice
family.
Many have died, hurting lots of people —
letting the alcohol or drugs
control their lives because they
couldn't quit and many times kept
blaming their problems on others.
I am a God of justice.
I want you to admit the truth,
admit your life is unmanageable,
if it is, know that I have all
the Power and I can help
you —> give your life and
your will over to Me.
I am God, I love you, I gave My life
for you.
Mary Lou came from an addictive
family. She did not even know
how she was trained to live
abnormally. There was hollering
name calling and drunkenness.
When she went to marry, she looked for
a man like her dad, she married
a man who loved to drink —
she began to do the same dance
as was in her original family. She
wanted to save her husband and help
him, but he never quit drinking,
the family was divided, the
children grew up with the
same problem.
Alcoholism and addiction is a disease
passed down many times from one
generation to another.
You know that if one man has diabetes
that disease may be passed on.
The way to handle alcoholism is that
one cannot drink or give into
addictive controlling behaviors.
The addict must want to change.
Even the workaholic can work himself
to death.
The person is usually in denial —
the family is usually in denial —
they cover up the disease in
different ways —
the whole family becomes
sick from dealing with
the alcoholic who controls
the family —
And when will it quit —
It is an act of the will of the
one addicted that keeps
them in sobriety —
Others can contribute to the
disease through rescuing, and
rescuing but how hard is it for a
mother or father to deal with
the drugs in a child addicted or
suicidal.
In today's society — drugs
are so prevalent and marijuana
used so frequently by the
young, young people can
keep looking for bigger
kicks and get addicted to
stronger things.
How many people today can tell the
sad, sad story of one in the
family who died because of
drugs or alcohol.
So look at it — satan is controlling
the minds of many young who have
given him control through use of
drugs and alcohol. Look at the late
nights that some young people keep
that leads them into darkness.
So much music is heavy and metal —
like a poison snake — the
devil is trying to devour the young.
How come I have so few
Shepherds of Christ Juniors
and twenty year olds —
satan has worked and worked to
"gobble-up" My young Shepherds.
The grace is there.
Apostles, Servants and Handmaids in the
Shepherds of Christ cannot survive
the attacks of the evil one unless they
pray for grace trying to attend Mass
daily if possible and spend an hour
before the tabernacle daily.
My donors have been taken out — the
few that hold up the Shepherds of Christ
are the ones attending daily Mass
and spending an hour before
the tabernacle —
other donors are soon taken
out by family or other
distractions set in their
path by satan.
Many misleading directions are given
by counselors and others
meaning well.
I give you the Bible —
I give you the Eucharist.
I feed you with Myself.
Some people are so dysfunctional they
play games because they cannot
get close.
A young married woman could not under-
stand why every time she got in
the car with her husband he
started a fight and went back home.
Her husband did not think it was
safe to get close because of
alcoholic parents — so even
though he was married he
was always manipulating
games to be alone because
he felt safe when he was alone.
He had problems on vacations, on
Sundays, on birthdays because
of the life he was forced to live
as a child. He was always in
a survival mode.
Some people verbally and physically abuse
others because they saw their
parents do this.
A child learns what they are taught.
The dysfunctional ways of the human
race are pasted down from
generation to generation.
Only My grace will heal the dysfunction
in the human race as a whole.
I have given these prayers
And I have given this image
as a sign.
Your mother appears in this video
the Lady of the Universe —
Mary, Mother of the Eucharist
Some people manipulate others with
games, controlling the others
life —
passive-aggressive games —
they appear passive with their
ways and yet they actively control
others with their quiet, unhappy
behavior.
Others miss the patterns that happen
day after day, they get used to
living a sad controlled life.
Mary Lou learned by talking to someone
that she was living her whole
life centered in the irregular
actions of another, controlling
person.
The person who is attacking very
often lies and sees things
from a distorted point
of view.
Some people because of being
wounded continually abuse
their intimate partners so they
will not have to get close
because of the fear of being
wounded from love relationships
in the past or watching how their
mom and dad were. Love to them
is pain because they weren't loved
as they should have been or because
parents treated each other so dishonorably.
Some people are so abusive to
their intimate partners, it is
as if a snarly snake is speaking
through their tongue.
When life is constant sufferings,
it can help to write down every day
activities so you can see how
dysfunctional patterns are
evolving despite your attempts to
pray and act lovingly. Sometimes this
will show you things about your life in
patterned behavior. You may not realize
most of your life is lived focusing on
other's dysfunctional behavior.
Carol was in an accident at work and in
need of physical repair. She never realized
how much she focused on her husband
chasing him around until she was handicapped
by the accident at work and unable to
play the charade she was in or she
would never heal physically.
The children soon grow up in dysfunctional
homes and many children are effected
because they watched mom run after dad
or visa versa — unhappy and trying to
change the other partner.
A person cannot be compulsively
focused on others and neglect themselves
and their children and their needs. There
is a problem there.
Every person must seek happiness
inside themselves centering their
lives in Me, not another irrational
person being led off through
satan's tactics of addictions and other
dysfunctional patterned behavior.
I AM LOVE ! !
IN ME there is no darkness.
Every person must realize how much
I love them.
People in abusive relationships or
who have had moms or dads
that degraded them must focus
on how much I love them.
When you feel unloved —
write a letter to yourself — tell yourself
"I love me". Know I
want you to love yourself —
you are the creation of God.
Say, "I love myself", "God loves me" —
"Jesus died for me" —
"Jesus loves me".
Some people in abusive relationships
go through a continual abuse
cycle. The abuser is addicted
to this. He can appear happy on
the outside and abusive at home
projecting his hatred on another person.
Because of the pain inside himself he
ceases control of another person —
it can be an intimate other. He can take
charge through physical abuse. He
wants to control so bad he forces it
by physical abuse.
There is a cycle — he tests and
tests and tests the other,
tension builds, then there
is a climax or attack —
then usually a honeymoon
cycle for a day or so and
then the tension begins to
mount again.
Many times the wife, husband or
intimate couple are unaware
of the severity of this abuse
cycle because of that little
interim honeymoon cycle
that may last only 24 hours,
it can progressively become
worse and worse as time
goes on and abuse has
happened over years.
The tension can get so heavy it
may feel as a red fog at home.
As the abuser gets more and more
advanced the honeymoon
cycle can be less and less.
Some people are constantly
abusing the other.
As children of abusing parents get older,
physical abuse can lessen and
verbal abuse can be like a sword,
it can feel as if a truck bruised
every cell of the heart, it is so vile.
A person being abused emotionally can
not continue to live being focused
on that abuser — the abuser is a
sick person to say such vile things.
On the other hand, some people begin
fights by constant nagging and
harassment — always dissatisfied
and complaining, then when the
other reacts — they tell everyone
and call themselves a victim.
There are so many games people play
to try to get their needs met or work
out their hatred inside.
Mary had two alcoholic parents.
She married a man that treated
her with disrespect, it
was even worse than her
father treated her mother,
but she was taught as a child
to allow men to disrespect
women so she took
the abuse and her children
learned how men were to
treat women from the family.
Adam and Eve sinned in the garden —
the dysfunctional ways are passed
on and on —
Some men think their wives
are to cater to them and
make up for the lack of
love they never got as children.
Some little girls marry when older
expecting their husband to
make up for all the love and
time and affection they never
got from daddy and
In many people's mind that marry
or have intimate relationships
they say to themselves
"I'M NOT TAKING
WHAT I SAW AT
HOME FROM ANY
PARTNER" —
Many are ready to dump the other if they
show any imperfections, they do not
marry because they love the other,
they want to settle unfinished business
inside themselves.
Many are not truthful —
Some don't seem to recognize they are
acting in a wrong way because their
mom and dad taught them very
dysfunctional behavior by
their behavior.
"Dad drank every day", said
one woman — "he was either
drinking, irritable or
had a hang over, we went
through the cycle every day"
Oh how many youth today have
felt they didn't know
where to go because they are
caught in a society teaching
them things that helps to foster
darkness in their hearts and
Why won't you give them
My Blue Book —
Why won't you tell them
about the healing in
the Eucharist —
Look at the statistics for
divorce ——
The dysfunction cycles go on and on
and are taught to the youth —
The poison is out there —
The killing of babies
The games people play — hidden
in years of training — generations
of dysfunction.

Children of light
December 17, 1996 |
December 17, 1996 |
August 11, 1995
Messenger: We are the children of the light. Mary is our Mother. She is the new Eve. Jesus is the new Adam. It is Mary who will lead the precious children to the Heart of her Son. We, the children of the light, are her army marching in battle against the enemy, the devil. He wants to devour all precious souls and take them to hell.
Jesus comes and gives us His life, released through the Heart of His Mother. He came to give us life to the full and take us home with Him.
I hear Him call out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in the hearts of men." As I live in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as I unite with Their Hearts, my actions are actions likened to their action. They are living through me in this world. As I model my life after Their Lives, as I dwell in Their Hearts, as I unite with Mary and Jesus, and as I live in Their hearts, I live in peace and joy, according to the Father's Will. As each of us live in their hearts, we live in the same hearts of Jesus and Mary and we are united in this strong bond of love. We become one in Their hearts. As Mary leads all her children home to her Son through her Heart, the Heart of Mary will triumph on this earth and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign.
In one of my deepest experiences with Jesus, I heard, very clearly, Him call out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. I love you, I love you, I love you." This sums up the message of Jesus. He loves us with the deepest love and He is alive this day. He is truly present in the tabernacle and He lives in a special way in the hearts of men. Every day Jesus and Mary have been teaching us through their messages and meditations on the rosary. In the rosary we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary. From the Emmaus scene the Gospel says of Jesus: "Then, starting with Moses and going through all the prophets, he explained to them the passages throughout the scriptures that were about himself." (Lk 24:27) He told them, with His burning love, about the scriptures, but they did not know it was Jesus. When they realized later that it was Jesus, they said, "Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us?" (Lk 24:32)
The disciples experienced His burning love when Jesus spoke. Jesus and Mary are giving to us the messages this day that He is alive and loves us so much. He speaks to us in these rosary meditations and messages. As Jesus and Mary have told us about their lives in these meditations, Their lives have grown in my life.
I experienced emotions that Jesus allowed me to feel on Ascension Thursday and heard Him call out, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. I cried for three days from this experience. Jesus calls out to us this day, "I am alive." It is in the quiet moments that we hear these cries. He lives in the busy and noisy world. As we encounter others, He is alive in others. As we grow in our life with Him, we realize His presence that surrounds us.
It is as the disciples on the way to Emmaus, I have heard the scriptures all my life, but when Jesus began to talk to me they came alive and they live in me, deeper and deeper and deeper. Now, every word I read in the scriptures, every word I pray in the Mass, fills my heart more and more with His burning love.
Jesus wants hearts on fire for love of Him. He remains with us truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, longing and thirsting for His precious souls to come to Him.
He is alive. He is the mighty medicine for the sick world. Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are messages and meditations to activate this burning love in our hearts. He is telling us this day of His love, not to replace the scriptures, but to help His life live in us. He tells us His love to enhance all that the church teaches, to make our hearts burn with the great gifts we are given. Jesus truly is present in the Eucharist, in the Scriptures, and the Sacraments. I love the Church. I love the Mass. I love the Priest. I love, love, love, Jesus in the Eucharist. I love Mary, the Saints, the angels, the souls in purgatory. I love my brother. I love more and more because my heart burns with the love of Jesus, alive this day.
He wants us to love Him with our whole heart, our whole soul, our whole being. He wants our hearts to burn with love of Him. As I attend the Mass and become one with Him in the sacrifice to the Father, my heart is burning with love for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He wants the priest to love Him so much and celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in such oneness with Him, with their hearts burning with love as they say to the Father, "through Him, with Him and in Him", as they elevate the host and say, "This is My Body, this is My Blood." In their whole being, to put on Christ and become one in this great sacrifice to the Father, united in the Holy Spirit, with Mary, our beloved Mother. What great gifts we are given: the Church, the Mass, the Sacraments, the Priest, the Scriptures, the Rosary - are not our hearts burning within us! As we become one in the pure and tender Heart of Mary, as we live and dwell in her Heart, as we love the Father, as Mary loved her beloved Father, through her Heart and we love her Son as Mary loved her dear and precious Son, and love the Holy Spirit as Mary loved her beloved Spouse, as we learn to love through the Heart of our precious beloved Mary, love God as she loved Him, love each other as she loves her precious little children - then, her Heart will live in this world through us. As we dwell in the Heart of Mary, we dwell in the Heart of Jesus, for she dwells there in deepest union.
Oh, my heart sings as I sing the songs He has given to us. "Oh, burning heart, oh love divine, how dear you are to me. I see the Host, I know you are here to love and care for me. I know your love a little now, how dear you are to me - Come, give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with thee! " How our life will grow as I give my all to the Father, with Jesus, in the Mass and as I live in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and operate with their life flowing from me in this world. How our life will grow as I dwell in their hearts and I am saturated with this life flowing from the pierced Heart of Jesus and the pierced Heart of Mary. My heart is bathed in Their love and Their life. The Holy Spirit will transform me more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus as His Spirit moves in the Heart of Mary and I will be led to a closer union with my beloved Father. Oh burning Heart, my heart burns for love of you. As you pray these rosaries and read these letters from Jesus, may you know more and more His life within you and may your hearts burn in deepest love for Him. I love you, Jesus.
"Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with thee."

To you do we send up our sighs, our mourning, our weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary."
5. The Memorare. "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen."

10. Prayer for Priests. "Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen"

Give them the grace to respond to Your love and Mary's love with an increased love of their own.

Amen."

You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."
17. Daily Prayers. All members should say the Holy Spirit prayer daily and make the act of consecration daily. They should also pray the rosary each day. They are encouraged to use the other above prayers as time allows.

Please publish My Sons
Blue Books with

Mary speaks: Oh so many fights are in your world —
Don't you want peace?
Don't you want love?
Don't you want your children
to be children of the light
— happy in their heart —
don't you want your children
to have eternal life,
forever in heaven?
Mary speaks: How do you feel about authority figures?
Are you praying for your authority figures?
Are people respecting authority figures?
Do authority figures try to act like Jesus?
All Power comes from God.
Jesus speaks: You must identify with Me.
You live according to the 10 commandments.
You live to do the will of God.
You respect and love God and others.
Do you make yourself a victim
and talk about it?
Do you spend time alone praying
for guidance, or are you
always listening to people of
the world and never take time to
be alone with God, to listen to My
message?
Are you afraid of being abandoned?
Do you know that when you
are in the state of grace that
God dwells most intimately
in your heart in a special way.
Be empowered —
Meditate on the beauty of your own
graced soul.
Don't hide your past, embrace
the truth and pray for
grace to act as I act —
I am your model — I am
the New Adam —
Mary is your model —
she is the New Eve.
