Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately.

October 28, 1993

 

If you do not come to Me, Satan will work on you to stay bowed down. Oh, little ones, listen to My voice. Be attentive to My pleading. I give you a free will. I need you. Please come and let Me fill you so you can give your brothers what is their due. I love through you or do not love through you. I place before you life or death, the blessing or the curse. Choose life that you might live. Love Me, come to Me and you will be full to do My work. Do not come to Me and you will be unable to do My work and you will fall into the ways of the world. You are My soldiers. Be soldiers of My love, little ones. I need you to love for Me. I love you so.

Mary speaks: My children, you must forgive and love. You must

                            The Victory has been won.
                            The New Adam has died and He has risen.

 



Genesis 9: 12-17

    ‘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.’

Messenger:    This is a picture I took before the 6:20 prayers in Florida 
                            before Mary's image March 21, 2001. We had traveled 
                            there to do a special documentary March 22, 2001
                            from the image site.
                            The image looked so dull, I told God how I was so
                            sorry for not appreciating all they gave us and
                            Mary began to turn so gold we could not
                            believe our eyes. It was just John, Emily and me 
                            there. Then Mary turned so brilliantly
                            glowing and gold and a big thick rainbow
                            appeared in the sky in the form of an
                            arc and it lasted a while.

                        This is like a war there is one camp run by satan
                            and one camp that is the followers of Jesus.

Message from October 8, 1997

Jesus speaks: I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.

Messenger:    Adam and Eve are put on the earth, they are
                            given such gifts, they sin.

                        Man lives in a clouded vision, he does not see
                            God so clearly.

 


Genesis 1: 27

    God created man in the image of himself,
     in the image of God he created him,
     male and female he created them.

 



Genesis 3

        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 your 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.

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.

I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.

You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?

The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.

Messenger:    The New Adam came to the earth.
                       The New Eve lived here.

                       When we meditate on the rosary, we meditate on the
                            lives of the New Adam and New Eve.

                       JESUS is the Son of God.
                       We are the sons of God.
                       We must model our lives after the New Adam and 
                            New Eve, the perfect ones.

                      We are the sons of Adam and Eve, we are imperfect.

                      We see little babies being born, we see old men and
                            ladies dying.
                      The same time Father Carter was dying of cancer, my

                                my daughter got married, the ones who have the baby.

                        I very seldom ever go to St. Xavier. Fr. Carter's casket was right
                                in the front in the church, right where the wedding was.

                        When I go to a funeral many times I see the whole person's life before
                                me and I see them now in the coffin.

WHY DOES MARY APPEAR 
ON THE BUILDING IN CLEARWATER, FLORIDA?

SONG: Song from Jesus

SONG: Our Lady of Clearwater

John: Why does Mary appear on the building in Clearwater, Florida?

Messenger: I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 
                    Say daily: God I give you my life in union with the Mass 
                        as an offering for the souls the Church and the priests help us.


A Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

SONG: A Priest is a Gift from God

Messenger: On February the 5th 2001 as we prayed the rosary 
                        before Mary’s image, the face of Jesus shown 
                        in the window. 

                    This is a picture of the sorrowful face of our Lord 
                        as He appeared that evening. 

                    Why does Mary appear on the building in Florida? 

                    And so you ask this question and to this question 
                        we respond. 

                The Shepherds of Christ Movement is Jesus’ Movement 
                        to help to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart 
                        of Jesus. 

                    Jesus asked Father Carter in 1994 to begin this Movement. 
                        And Father Carter began on the feast of St. Ignatius 
                        writing the newsletter and writing the prayers that Jesus 
                        gave to him to pray for the priests, the Church, and the world. 

                    And for all of these years since 1994 we have labored to try 
                        to begin the prayer chapters that Jesus has asked us to begin. 

                    We have circulated the newsletter to now 75,000 priests 
                        in the world in 90 countries and the prayer manual 
                        now is in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese 
                        all with the Imprimatur.  

                    Our Lord and our Lady want us to pray these prayers. 

                    Mary is appearing on this building to tell us to pray the prayers 
                        that Jesus has given to us. 

                    This is a song that Jesus gave.

SONG: Song from Jesus

Messenger: Do you remember the picture of Jesus as He appeared 
                        on February the 5th, 2001? 

                    Do you see His beautiful sorrowful face? 

                    Do you see the beautiful image of the Virgin Mary? 

                    Jesus and Mary are asking us to pray for our beloved priests 
                        and for the Church and for the world. 

                    It is so important that we pray for our priests. 
                        For it is our priest that celebrate the Mass. 
                        It is the priests that have been chosen by God 
                        called to celebrate the Mass. 

                    Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist. 

                    We must pray for our priests today that they are holy priests 
                        that they will teach the world about the great gift 
                        that is given to us in Jesus in the Eucharist. 

                    I come to you as a messenger from Jesus 
                        and I ask you this will you please help us 
                        to begin the prayer chapters that 
                        Jesus and Mary want us to begin 
                        around the world. 

                    He has promised great grace to all those who 
                        pray the prayers that He will help lead their 
                        churches into great oneness and the churches 
                        that pray the prayers will be turned into 
                        little cities of light. 

                    This is real. 

                    Do you see Mary as she appears on the building? 

                    There is a message that is given to the earth 
                        and we as the body of Christ must pray 
                        so fervently for our priests and our Church 
                        and the world. 

                    I come to you today and I want to show you 
                        the priestly newsletter that has been circulated 
                        around the world for the past 6 years 
                        written by Father Carter who had a 
                        doctor’s in Theology and taught at 
                        Xavier University for over 30 years 
                        and published some 17 books. 

                Here is the priestly newsletter that he 
                        began to write in 1994. 

                We have requests every day from priests 
                        and bishops and cardinals all over 
                        the world for this newsletter because 
                        of the spiritual enrichment that it has given 
                        to them in their lives. 

                    It is centered in consecration and it will greatly 
                        lead the priests deeply into the Hearts of Jesus 
                        and Mary. 

                 Here is the prayer manual that Jesus gave 
                      to Father Carter to help to bring about the 
                      completion of the Fatima mission. 

                    Mary appeared all through the century. 
                        She appeared at Fatima in 1917 and at 
                        the very end of this century in 1994 
                        Jesus gave the message to Father Carter 
                        to begin the newsletter and to start 
                        prayer chapters. 

                    This is a call to you. 

                    Do you want to know why Mary appears on the building?

                    Mary appears to tell us to pray. 
                        Jesus is telling us to pray the prayers 
                        especially in the prayer manual which will help 
                        to renew the Church and the world. 

                    Will you begin a prayer chapter? 

                    They are very short prayers. 
                        They are centered in consecration to 
                        the Hearts of Jesus and Mary 
                        and the more that you pray the prayers 
                        Jesus has promised in the message that 
                        was read at the beginning of this video 
                        that He will take you into a deep love union 
                        into His Heart and the heart of His Mother. 

                    It is oneness that we want with God 
                        and with one another as people all over 
                        the earth pray these prayers, the churches 
                        and the families and the schools, the prisons, 
                        the nursing homes, all those that pray the 
                        prayers will be turned into little cities of light 
                        in which the light of Christ will shine in their hearts. 

                    Jesus is the King of Heaven and Earth. 
                        He is our Almighty God. 

                    When all men take Jesus as the King of their hearts, 
                        the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign on this earth 
                        in the hearts of men. 

                    It is so important that we listen to what Jesus and Mary 
                        are telling us here. 

                    In the prayers are included the rosary, 
                        which is a big part of the Fatima mission 
                        that our Lady has given to us. 

                    And so we have very many meditations and devotion 
                        to the rosary. 

                    We make very many rosaries here in Mary’s image building. 
                        We have a Rosary Factory and you can help to make 
                        rosaries to put them in the hands of the school children,
                        prisoners, nursing homes, and people all over the world. 

                    In October we had requests for over 80,000 rosaries for the 
                        school children and we had rosary makers that were able 
                        to make these rosaries. 

                    The prayers in the Prayer Manual have the beautiful litany 
                        to the Virgin Mary and the litany to the Sacred Heart 
                        and the promises of the Sacred Heart. 
                        They do not take a long time to pray 
                        these prayers but the benefits are so 
                        wonderful. 

                    People all over who have prayed these prayers 
                        have reported how their churches have just 
                        become little cities of light,
                        how their families have become 
                        more united and in love with one another. 

                    Wherever the prayers are prayed 
                        they help to unite the members 
                        that pray them together. 

                    The prayers have been given to us by Jesus 
                        and He has promised great grace for those 
                        who pray. 

                    They will help to lead the world into great oneness. 

                    Will you help us please by beginning a prayer chapter? 

                    Everything that we do acts as ripples on a pond 
                        and the more we pray for our priests and 
                        the Church and the world, the more that the world 
                        will receive great grace from our God. 

                    And it is grace that will change the hearts of men. 
                        Jesus is giving great grace to all who pray these 
                        prayers to unite their families to help the youth. 

                    Think of our children and how precious they are to us 
                        and what we want to give them. 
                        How important is it to us that 
                        we give them a world that is filled 
                        with love for this is the message that 
                        Mary and Jesus give to us, that They are love 
                        and the world needs to be filled with hearts of love. 

                    If you pray these prayers as Jesus has asked us to do, 
                        the hearts of the men of this earth will receive 
                        great grace and it will help them to turn their hearts 
                        to hearts of love. 

                    Why does Jesus appear on the building? 
                        and why does Mary appear here now for over 4 years? 

                    To tell us that we must pray. 

                    Will you please help us to reach our priests 
                        through the priestly newsletter that we send 
                        to the 75,000 priests free of charge, that we 
                        translate into different languages, 
                        the newsletter that tells the priests 
                        about consecration and the love of Jesus, 
                        the newsletter that so many priests have requested 
                        and want to receive all over the world. 

                    We get letters from places all over the world every day 
                        and some of them come from Africa and the letters 
                        are printed and they are requesting rosaries and 
                        prayer books because they want to pray so much 
                        and there is so much that we can do. 

                    Will you please join with us to pray the prayers 
                        that Jesus has given to us in the Prayer Manual 
                        given to Father Carter in 1994. 

                    Why does Mary appear on the building? 

                    She is appearing to tell us that she is here 
                        and you must pray. 

                    She is here to lead us to her Son Jesus 
                        to help to bring about the reign of 
                        His Heart in all hearts. 

                    Jesus asked us to have special prayer chapters 
                        that begin at 6:20 every evening. 
                        And we pray a novena book. 
                        It’s called the Holy Spirit Novena, 
                        it is a very short novena. 

                    And we pray for the oneness in the world 
                        for the healing of the souls in the world 
                        that the Holy Spirit will majorly outpour 
                        His grace to the souls of this earth. 
                        We pray that until 6:30. 

                    People all over the world are praying the 
                        Shepherds of Christ prayers at 6:30 
                        and we unite as a body praying in union 
                        with the Mass. 

                    The fruits of praying these prayers are so wonderful. 
                        Families that pray the prayers stay united. 
                        Churches that pray the prayers stay united. 
                        Prayer groups that pray together become 
                        one in their hearts and they have that strength 
                        that family relationship with one another in 
                        His family in the Father’s family. 

                    Please listen to the message of Jesus and Mary 
                        and the message that Jesus gave to Father Carter 
                        when he began this, just a little over 6 years ago 
                        on July 31st 1994 and in that time the 
                        Shepherds of Christ has spread to over 
                        90 countries and the newsletter is circulated 
                        to 75,000 priests. 

                    Please help us reach our priests for we truly love 
                        them and our priests really are a gift, 
                        a gift from God. 

                    The Eucharist is such a gift and we love God 
                        in the Eucharist so much. 

                    Think of the gift that God has given to us. 
                        He gives to us His Body and Blood 
                        in the Holy Eucharist. 

                    Mary is appearing on the building here to tell us 
                        these things. 

                    She appears to lead us to her Son Jesus 
                        in the Eucharist. 

                    Will you pray with us the prayers They have given 
                        which will help to bring about great unity 
                        on the earth. 

                    Look at the beauty of a small child. 

                    Look at the baby’s eyes. 

                    Look at the tenderness of their skin. 

                    What do we want to do for our children? 

                    Fill them with brand name clothes? 

                    Make them so focused on the world? 

                    Or do we want them to be happy to know 
                        what it is to know God. 

                    Help us. Please pray with us for our priests,
                        for the Church, and for the world.

Revelations 3: 12

Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.

 


 

Father Carter appeared as a pillar of light.

July 4, 1996

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.

                                                                       New Adam's footsteps

                    Glorious Mysteries     --->       We rise to new life
                                                                       in Him


Messenger: 
  We are dysfunctional.

                       We are imperfect.

                       We must grow into greater perfection.

                       The devil masks his tactics.

                       Generations of imperfect behavior
                            has been passed down.

                        Oh God help us!

                        We need to pray for grace!!

Jesus speaks:     Where every body could be united and having fun,
                        some people are just in the habit of making themselves
                        higher than others and creating a scapegoat. Four people
                        can be gathered. If one comes from a dysfunctional family
                        they may take the others to the side just to talk about
                        one person. That gives a false unity and is very displeasing
                        to Me.

                            Some families have scapegoats. These are usually
                        dysfunctional alcoholic families, but many dysfunctional
                        families have scapegoats. Some businesses have scape-
                        goats. Some circles of friends have scapegoats. It can be so severe it
                        can almost drive someone in a family to suicide.
                        It can exist in convents and communities of all
                        sorts. It can exist in classrooms. It gives some
                        a sense of superiority to be in the "in group" and
                        make others lower than them. This is why when people
                        go to their families many times for holidays, they have
                        problems before and after in their present living conditions.
                        In anticipation of the visit they try to work out problems
                        with those closest to them so they are not the scapegoat or
                        the lower one in the family that is laughed at.

                            Making fun of others is not pleasing to Me.
                        It hurts My Sacred Heart. I bled for those who persecuted
                        My precious souls. I do not like cruelty.
                        There is this dysfunction in some communities. Who do you
                        think you are with your superior attitude when you
                        criticize well meaning loving people? Look at your families,
                        your school classes, your communities, who gets to be
                        the "in guy" and who is just mistreated because
                        someone chooses to push someone else around so they
                        can be superior.

                            I am not talking about real authority, but you should
                        look at yourself talking about others. If I showed you
                        a movie of yourself and how you may strive to be
                        over others or make yourself better than others, how
                        would your movie look today?

                            Do you know what a scapegoat is?

                            They gave Me a cross to carry laden with the sins
                        of the world. The cross was so heavy, on it were piled
                        all these sins of cruelty.

                            How does a scapegoat get out of being a scapegoat
                        when the family will never recognize them? In
                        businesses with branches, some branches can be
                        scapegoats. In areas with churches some churches
                        can be scapegoats. The scapegoat principal can
                        apply wherever there is interaction. It displeases Me.
                        They heaped their sins on My back. I bled
                        for them. Many will be punished for your cruel
                        acts towards others.

                            How does the scapegoat get out of a dysfunctional
                        family? The head just makes it clear wherever they are
                        that these people including themselves are "in" and
                        this one person is
under!!

                            I do not tell you this so you will be angry with your
                        brothers. If you feel you are a scapegoat, I tell you to
                        unveil the evil so you can work toward oneness.

                            This is wrong.

                            In dysfunctional families, many times in a family of 5,
                        4 are "in" one is the scapegoat. In business some bosses
                        are always looking to fire one. The one pays for the
                        imperfections in all the others. What happens many times
                        is you are divided and unloving and the people that are
                        "in" don't work on their imperfections, they blame all
                        problems on the scapegoat.

                            I want to speak about truth. You must live
                        in the truth. In the end there will be no
                        more lies I tell you.



Revelation 14: 5

No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.

A PLEDGE FROM AN APOSTLE OF THE SACRED HEART

Messenger:

          I am but a little speck on this earth,
                 but with His might He can use me
                 to spread the devotion to His
                 Most Sacred Heart.

          Oh dear and precious Heart of Jesus
                 I give myself as completely as
                 possible to Thee so you will use
                 me to spread the devotion to the
                 ends of the earth for Your most
                 precious Heart.

          I am Rita your precious soul.

          Use me to help to spread this burning
                 devotion to the souls of this earth.

          I am yours, take me, use me as you
                 will.

           I surrender myself to you.

          It is your might behind me, your power
                 that sends me. I am an Apostle of
                 the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give
                 myself as completely as possible to
                 Thee.             

          Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my
                 trust in Thee.

          Father hear us please. We beg through
                the  intercession of Father Carter
                and Our Lady of Clearwater that 
                prayer chapters are started all over
                the world and the Priestly Newsletter
                gets there immediately with the
                Prayer Manual.


Sorrowful MotherMary'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.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light. O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light. O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows. I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

(End of Mary's Message)


A Note from the President of Shepherds of Christ:

If you are devoted to Our Lady's rosary, we need your help! A member of our ministry is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and he is helping to teach us how to grow our volunteer rosary makers. He estimates that we will need approximately $37,000 this year for beads alone! This translates into 22,339,500 rosary beads (yes, 22 million beads) assembled by volunteers into 378 thousand rosaries. The biggest users of our rosaries are the Catholic schools, who requested more than 100,000 rosaries last year.

Can you help us? I appeal to you for funds, whether large or small. We give because we love God, we love our Blessed Mother, and we love souls. We will accept gifts in many forms, besides cash or check donations, we can receive gifts directly in the form of stocks or property. These gifts can offer large tax advantages to the donor and increase the monetary value of the gift to us. Also if you can help assemble rosaries we need your help! If you can help us in anyway, please call or write us. God Bless!

I love you,
John Weickert


         

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

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

A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.

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

May God heal                     through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.

Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.

May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.

We believe with all our hearts.

After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.

May                     be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.

Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary.

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