R. Second Sunday of Easter we heard
about Thomas.
Thomas reminds us that we
must focus on the unseen and
what we see. God is always there
for us. This is the message of the
Blue Books. God is watching us
and when we give ourselves to
God – the Holy Spirit guides us
to listen and do the will of God.
But we have to listen and be
ready to follow God and what
He is telling us.
The voice of the Good Shepherd
speaks and His sheep hear His
voice and follow Him.
God is a personal God – that is
the message of the Blue Books –
At the end of this writing is
the scripture from last Sunday
and the message delivered by
Fr. Joe. It is so beautiful – We
all are asked by God to pray for
Fr. Joe and his homilies and all
the books we sent. We sent 3,000
books to priests in the United States
this week with the prayer for the country
and the Shepherd of Christ Prayers.
People pray to God for help and
God answers our prayers, maybe
not the way we think, but the way
we need. And if a person never
listens they keep the same mind
slot, not letting God in while
they try to control everything and
everybody!!
God has a plan for us. He is the Creator
we are the creatures and we belong to
Him. He wants us to give our wills
following His Plan. God created us
so beautiful and He wants us to
grow more and more in His
image and likeness. The Holy Spirit
wants to touch us and we must
be humble and docile to His
touch – Heartfelt in love of
God with our whole heart, our
whole soul, our whole being and
loving our neighbor as ourselves.
We must learn to listen to God,
to follow God – to know God in
our hearts – even when we don't
see Him – we need to put our trust
in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and know
God is helping us in our lives. Sending
direction and love to us.
"My Lord is My Life and My Salvation."
"Man does not live on bread alone,
but on every Word that
comes from the mouth of God." Matthew 4: 4
We need food to grow, to feed us
to build our bodies. Jesus gives us
His Word and the Eucharist to
feed us. The Word and the Eucharist
is the Bread of Life –
When we go to Mass we eat the
Body and Blood of Jesus – it
feeds us.
Jesus is our Savior. Jesus
died for our sins. They wanted
to make Jesus a King – we see
this on Palm Sunday and
Jesus had to resist the temptation
and He went away to pray –
to be with the Father in prayer.
Jesus did what the will of the
heavenly Father was – to die for
our sins. Jesus did the will
of the heavenly Father. Jesus
suffered for us – so He died for
our sins. Jesus rose on the 3rd
day. Jesus did not give into
the temptation – Jesus did the
Father's will.
In all of us is a "wild card"
we can obey the commandments of
God, do the will of the Father
and help others to know God –
we can love God with our whole
heart, our whole being, our whole
soul and live our life to prepare
for heaven –
or we can oppose God – say
NO, NO, NO we need no one – we are
equal to You God. We can live like
this and be envious of those God
sends to be our guides on this
spiritual journey and fight
God's plan - day long.
Regina's sister-in-law is dying
and we should pray for her and her
brother. She found out she had
cancer and had 3 months to live.
She is close to the end.
My brother, Jim, has Parkinson's
disease, he did heart research his
whole life for others – he had a
Doctors in Cardiovascular Physiology –
He worked hard and traveled around
the world in his research too –
His wife is so dedicated to him –
I ask you to pray for him –
We are here to think every moment
about preparing for our eternal salvation –
life is really short – God put us here
to love Him with our whole heart,
our whole soul, our whole being
and love our neighbor as ourselves.
I love to say the Joyful Mysteries –
Mary is the perfect handmaid of
the Lord. It makes me happy to
meditate on God calling her
and Mary saying "yes" –
Eve was prideful – Eve wanted
to be equal to God – Eve
disobeyed God and she was cast
from the Garden of Paradise.
Eve had so many gifts and she
disobeyed God –
Dear God help us to be wise and
prudent. We pray for those who
suffer persecution in the Name of Jesus.
Dear God we pray for those
who are terminally ill and their
loved ones and care-takers.
Dear God we pray for those who
suffer from lack of what they need.
We pray people will be loving
and generous and help them.
Dear God we pray for joy to serve
You and do Your will –
Dear God we pray for enthusiasm and
perseverance in living our
vocation –
Dear God, we know You hear
us – even if we don't
get exactly what we pray for –
We know God answers
our prayers – some way.
God always listens to our
heartfelt prayers –
Dear God – help your people to unite –
Oh Lord – help us – Help us to love
the brothers and sisters You gave
us in the Father's family.
Help us to serve You as You
desire – Gather Your people
in the Heart of Jesus, united
in love –
Help us to be holy –
Help us to be united –
We know God is a God of miracles.
We have seen people who were healed.
People who had drowned and it
seemed a miracle they were okay.
We are talking about Jesus –
Jesus was crucified and died
on the cross. They put Him in
a tomb. He rose on
the 3rd day and His body
was glorified. Jesus rose from
the dead.
On May 13th, last year a little
boy fell in the pool and we didn't
know how long –
he was in the hospital two
weeks – There was no damage and
he is fine – in all ways.
God is a God of miracles –
Miracles are ordinary for God,
we are called to believe in the
miracles of Jesus.
Jesus rose from the dead –
On May 13, 2017 it will be
100 years since Mary's first
apparition in Fatima –
Mary appeared to me 1 1/2 hours
in the China Church Tuesday.
She wants us to consecrate the
whole world and our country
to the Immaculate Heart and the
Sacred Heart.
Mary wants us to spread the
Blood of Jesus.
1997
In Blue Book 17 – almost one year after
Mary's apparitions in Clearwater –
Jesus asked over and over again
to spread the Blood of Jesus on
the world at 6, 9, 12, 3 and to
consecrate the Church and the world
to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
This was 20 Years ago.
Excerpt from October 13, 1997 Rosary
Jesus: ...
I am
asking you, My shepherds, to be the light to this darkened
world, to carry the light into the darkness, to spread this
Movement to the far ends of the earth, to carry My consecration
to the hearts that are cold and empty. You are the apostles I
call. I do not call every person an apostle. You are chosen.
Your Movement will spread to the far ends of the earth, and it
will be full of associates. You are the chosen ones. Will you
answer this call? Will you help carry the light? Will you help
with the completion of the Fatima mission? 80 years later, I
have called you. Will you respond to My call? I am Jesus, the
Son of God.
From Tell My People
by Fr. Edward J. Carter,
S.J.
Age of the Two
Hearts
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have
allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in
My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about
these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred
Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings
of the age of the Two Hearts.
"After the time of the purification is completed,
this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established.
This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and
the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My
Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age.
I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts
you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you
all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give
them this message!"

25 Years Ago
From the Pre-Blue Book
October 5, 1992 - 3:30am
R. Dear Jesus, Give me
Your hand to write this book for you. I am your servant. I want to
be Your hand to this world. If you, Lord Jesus, would write a book,
what would you say?
Jesus: My dear children,
Today I come to deliver a message to each of
you. I want to tell you of each person's dignity, of their beauty
and their self-worth. Each child is, oh, so uniquely precious to My
Most Sacred Heart. Each child is full of the talents I have given to
them. Each person is divinely created by God and given all these
gifts to be happy and love one another.
The problem comes when you feel you will be
left out. That you will be left by another who has trodden on you
and will do it again. I see you all as My most precious children. I
watch your every move and know all pain and anguish in your heart.
My Heart aches, you have insecure feelings about yourself. I came to
this earth I died for you. I felt cold, hungry, lonely on this
earth. You need not worry that no one knows the pain and anguish in
your heart. God created you with such special gifts and talents. It
is important for you to raise above your wound and forgive those who
hurt you.
You need only turn your will and your life over
to Me and I will guide you in all your ways. I have all the Power.
Many are not of My ways. The key to life is to recognize your
faults, but still know you are this precious gift of My Father a
gift to this world. This world is in need of your strength. Running
yourself down, blaming others hurting them can cause you misery and
pain. At this very moment, you are the precious creation of God!!
You must operate with Me in your heart.
You need not run yourself down. I am with you
every day guiding your ways, lest your foot stumble and you lose
your way. You will not wander far from your path if every day you
keep bringing your focus back to Me. If you dare let Me be at the
helm, if you dare to really let Me run your life, I will do with you
such wonders that you yourself would be amazed. But you will know
with such ease when you did these things that you did not do them
alone. You will know My power, moving the mountain, My power
chipping at the stone, My power working on your hardest problem
and you will be set free.
Oh yes, you will be set free and know a
serenity that only comes from letting go and letting Me run your
life. To you, My child, I have given all that is good. I made you My
holy soldier, My warrior in a world of pain and hatred. You are the
light that shines in the darkness, you are the coat to a cold child,
you are the smile that warms a troubled and lonely heart. You are
the comfort for everyone you meet, because My most precious Heart
powers you, smiles through you, understands and loves through you.
Love your fellows for Me. There are so many
troubled hearts that need to know My love. I can love through you if
you let Me, I can be their friend through you if you let Me. I am He
who comforts you and you are he who comforts them. My power is
endless, it never runs out, there is not a power failure EVER. In
your darkest hour, My light shines in the darkness and I say to you,
"Oh blessed of My Father, look at yourself with awe, you are My
creation, you are indeed so precious to Me, you are My light to this
world, you are My hands and My feet and most of all My Heart."
Oh, you are My loving Heart, to those who are
bowed down, to those who are lost in the darkness, you carry My
smile and wear My armor in a world that is trying to tear one
another down with hate and ugliness. There is gentleness, there is
love, there is hope in you, if you open yourself up to Me. Be My
knight to the world, wear My armor. I am your God and I will protect
you from the darkness. Plug into My power, be not afraid, I go
before you always and you can rest in My arms when you feel weary.
You can put your head in My lap and weep, you will know, I am truly
with you and you are My light to this world. I created you so
special - to cast out fear in the darkness, to clothe the naked, to
give hope to the oppressed, to be as I live in you and love through
you and you are My smile and I touch My hurting ones through your
love.
You are he who loves this world. You must stay
plugged into My power-source This world is
hungry for My love. It needs My love, I give to them through you. I
am your God and I made you as a gift to the world. You are filled.
Focus on Me and your life will be abundant and
whole, joy in suffering, freedom but you can take the knocks
because you will know you do not go it alone, but with Me. I love
you My precious child.

THE TWELVE STEPS OF AA
Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery:
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,
that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than
ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human
being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all
these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed,
and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible,
except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we
were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our
conscious contact with God as we understood Him,
praying only for knowledge of His will for us and
the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps,
we tried to carry this message to alcoholics,
and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
THE PROBLEM
CHILDREN OF
ALCOHOLICS: These are the characteristics we seem to have in
common
due to having been brought up in an
alcoholic household:
1. We became
isolated and afraid of people and authority figures.
2. We became approval seekers and lost our
identity in the process.
3. We either become alcoholics, marry them or
both or find another
compulsive personality such as a workaholic
to fulfill our sick
abandonment.
4. We are frightened by angry people and any
personal criticism.
5. We live life from the viewpoint of helping
and seeking victims,
and are attracted by that weakness in our
love and friendship
relationship.
6. We have an overdeveloped sense of
responsibility, and it is easier
for us to be concerned with others rather
than ourselves.
This enables us not to look closely at our
faults, etc.
7. We get guilt feelings when we stand up for
ourselves instead we
give in to others.
8. We become addicted to excitement.
9. We confuse love with pity and tend to "love"
people we can pity and rescue.
10. We have stuffed back our feelings from our
traumatic childhoods and have
lost the ability to feel or express our
feelings. It hurts so much (denial).
11. We judge ourselves harshly and have a very low
sense of self-esteem,
sometimes compensated for by trying to
appear superior.
12. We are dependent personalities who are
terrified of abandonment.
We will do anything to hold onto a
relationship in order not to experience
the pain of abandonment. We are conditioned
to these types of relationships.
13. Alcoholism is a family disease and we became
para-alcoholics.
We took on the characteristics of that
disease even though
we did not pick up the drink.
14. Para-alcoholics are reactors rather than
actors.
THE GOALS
THE OPPOSITE OF "THE PROBLEM"
1. I feel
comfortable and involved with people and authority figures.
2. I have a strong identity and give myself
approval.
3. I accept and use personal criticism in a
positive way.
4. I am becoming free from trying to fulfill my
sick abandonment need.
5. As I face my own victim role, I am attracted
by strengths and understand
weaknesses in my love and friendship
relationships.
6. I am getting well through loving and focusing
on myself.
7. It feels great to stand up for myself.
8. I enjoy peaceful serenity.
9. I love people who love and take care of
themselves.
10. I am free to feel and express my feelings even
when painful.
11. I have a healthy sense of self-esteem.
12. I am freed from the fear of abandonment in
relationships as I rely
more and more on my Higher Power.
13. Through the ACA group, I examine and release
para-alcoholic behaviors
I learned while living with the family
disease of alcoholism.
14. I am an actor in this world.
THE PROMISES
1. We are going
to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
2. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut
the door on it.
3. We will comprehend the word serenity, and we
will know peace.
4. No matter how far down the scale we have
gone, we will see
how our experience can benefit others.
5. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity
will disappear.
6. We will lose interest in selfish things and
gain interest in our fellows.
7. Self-seeking will slip away.
8. Our whole attitude and outlook will change.
9. Fear of people and economic insecurity will
leave us.
10. We will know intuitively how to handle
situations that used to baffle us.
11. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for
us what we could not do for ourselves.

May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father
My Father,
With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the
whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live
according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and
Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this
cause.
It is this burning desire within my soul to spread
the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your
children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their
God.
My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge
of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of
this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You
created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would
mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.
And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my
body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the
souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all
the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.
I beg You Father for mercy.
I beg You Father for assistance.
I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far
ends of the earth.
Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming
in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His
Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice,
sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment.
Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.
Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of
Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the
Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our
love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and
devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit
and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus,
praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit
united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for
help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to
reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the
schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help
us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us
to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be
turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord
of Host is truly present on His throne.
We are Your children Father, we implore You to
answer our prayer.
We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we
sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia

16, 2004 message continues
Jesus speaks:
I call you to purity and peace.
I have called religious communities
to grow in great oneness for a
particular purpose.
These people may be thought of as
many rooms united in one house.
May
16, 2004 message continues
Jesus speaks:
The imperfection can be as pointed
sticks that come back again
and again and again until one
admits their problems to themselves
and prays for tremendous grace to get over
them —
It may be a life long battle for one
to keep pride and control under
raps —
an angry imperfection
lurking to come out and be heard.
Like a roaring lion, or hungry dogs
in the basement.
Sin is sin, many give into unloving
sinful ways, jealousy, lust, envy,
greed, pride, wrath, gluttony, and
sloth.
Messenger:
People can be getting along
then their imperfections come
out again and again —
they operate
in the same pattern hurting
people around them they love.
How does a person live together
as a married couple for 50 or 60
years.
Matthew 22: 34-40
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees they
got together and, to disconcert him, one of them put a question, 'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said,
'You
must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The
second resembles it: You must love your neighbor as yourself. On these
two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets also'.
John 17: 20-23
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

Messenger: Christ took on all our
sins
—
suffered with all our sins
—
In the Nursing home —
people live each day
We have a life time of living our
vocation in love.
How did Christ live on this
earth as He did His work the
Father gave Him.
Christ is the example.
We are to live like saints.
Couples living together —
grow in union.
Small acts of love.
Great acts of love.
We should pray for married couples
—
pray they may be united in
Christ in this
difficult world.
Realize this life is to lead us to heaven.
What is the key in this troubled
world living together
in marriage 60 years,
50 years, 25 years it
is LOVE.
Fidelity to each other is the sacrament
of marriage.
A servant and handmaid is married
to Jesus.
Revelation
21: 1-10
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth;
the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no
longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard
a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human
beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people,
and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away
all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more
mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’
Then the One sitting on the throne
spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I
am saying is trustworthy and will come true." Then he said to me, ‘It has
already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty;
anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be
his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for
those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the
sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any
other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven
final plagues came to speak to me and said, ‘Come here and I will show you
the bride that the Lamb has married.’ In the spirit, he carried me to
the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy
city, coming down out of heaven from God.

Messenger:
They are happy with this special
spousal union.
May
16, 2004 message continues
Messenger:
There is joy in the vocation —
Serving Jesus —
being a handmaid
like Mary —
Giving oneself for the joy
of serving Jesus —
not for selfish pride —
not to get old wounds
worked out on others
in the community —
A handmaid and servant is
humble and docile
serving Jesus as His
bride in the Movement.
A handmaid and servant does their hour.
They do not sleep during this hour
every day.
They attend daily Mass.
They pray the 6:20 prayers.
They pray hourly.
They pray the rosary.
In the Mass we offer ourselves
as a sacrifice.
The Mass talks about our sin. In the
beginning of Mass we ask forgiveness
for our sins and for grace.
Christ died for our sins.
He came to this earth and gave
Himself to His death on the
cross for our sins.
1 John 1: 8-10
If we say, ‘We have no sin,’
we are deceiving ourselves,
and truth has no place in us;
if we acknowledge our sins,
he is trustworthy and upright,
so that he will forgive our sins
and will cleanse us from all evil.
If we say, ‘We have never sinned,’
we make him a liar,
and his word has no place in us.
May
16, 2004 message continues
Messenger:
Christ died for our sins, He
took our sins on His back, He
was whipped, crowned with thorns,
nailed to a cross, and hung for 3
hours for our sins.
Look what Judas did. Christ
loved Him even though He knew
He would betray Him.
It is pride to think we have
arrived and we do not have to
work on our imperfections. When
we act wrongfully, habitually in
relationships we hurt others and
our own spiritual life.
Many communities today have
dissolved because people do not
want to live under anyone, they
want to do things their own way.
The world teaches us to be out for
#1.
Jesus wants communities as the Shepherds
of Christ living for a common purpose in
oneness —
Living as the spouse of Jesus.
Living to please our spouse.
Living our vocation in love and with
commitment.
May
16, 2004 message continues
Messenger: Does that mean that I rattle it off
and do what I please —
Or does that mean during retreat and
daily when I commit I kneel
before Jesus in the tabernacle
or before the crucifix and I
commit to my vocation.
Then I live my vocation, committed
to my vocation in love, playing
power games, passive-aggressive
games with others and the superior
is a far cry from living ones
vocation in holy love to please
Jesus our spouse.
The spiritual exercises are key in
helping one look at sin and their
attachments, praying for grace
to not be blind and to change
from hidden destructive habits,
doing all things for the honor and
glory of God, meditating on the
lives of Jesus and Mary.
The St. Ignatian retreat/Shepherds of Christ
retreat is centered around a different set of
mysteries of the rosary every day.
Jesus has promised tremendous graces
for healing from the retreats in
China.
Lets look at a dark room with lots
of furniture. A man goes into the room
in the dark and keeps hitting himself on
chairs, lamps, the sofa, a table. Unless
a path is cleared and he moves some furniture
so he can follow it —
he will keep stumbling
into the furniture in the way as he walks
in the dark.
Our hidden imperfections are
like that. We keep stumbling into
them, they are usually habitual
behaviors from childhood and if some
friend or others tell us about our
ways, or a confessor, we like to
blame them and continue the same
way resistant to change.
Couple that with a community of
men and women living in different
houses, but working together, some
have broken marriages, some are fathers
and mothers of children who have been
real problems, some have grown
up in an alcoholic house, some
are very controlling and prideful,
some have lived alone for 60 years,
some are babies, or rescuers,
some are very angry people, sex offenders.
No wonder community religious life is
on the down side in a world that
is so secularistic and prideful,
with so many evil ways, luring
sexual pleasures on newsstands
everywhere even —
health magazines
in the mailbox.
Convents and seminaries have
closed, Churches etc. and yet more and
more million and 1/2 dollar houses
are built every day as a second
home, hotels in Las Vegas that cannot
even hardly be envisioned, marble,
gold, so many rooms to accommodate
the pleasure city.
Where have all the sisters gone.
One, two or maybe none in some Catholic
schools. Many Catholic schools merged
or closed.
My sister who commit suicide on
the Blessed Mother's birthday after
being a Sister of Charity for 26 years
went from a postulant outfit using
only a wash bowl to a red dress
at 24 years and not living in a
convent any more. She had taken a
vow of poverty, required, many new
sisters did not have to.
Jesus is talking about servants and
handmaids loving their vocation.
Fr. Carter said he thanked God everyday
when speaking to us and prayed for
perseverance every day.
Excerpt from February 1, 1998
Talk by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
Perseverance in
the Movement—all vocations, all callings need perseverance. I pray for
perseverance as a Jesuit every day of my life. I pray for perseverance.
I’m suggesting to all of us that we pray for perseverance in the
Movement and not just a status quo type of perseverance, but pray for a
perseverance which will allow us to dynamically grow and be greater
apostles in the Movement. And we have to take the means to persevere.

Messenger:
This is a vocation in
the Shepherds of Christ.
How do you think Jesus likes whiners,
working out their games on the
leaders, leaders giving bad
examples in religious communities.
Jesus wants special spouses.
Living to love and please Him.

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.

Jesus speaks:
I want big pictures of the
crucifix in Clearwater
circulated. I have attached
tremendous grace to those
who pray fervently before the
crucifix —
Under the crucifix it must say
From St. Ignatius
"What have I done for Christ?
What am I doing for Christ?
What ought I do for Christ?"
On the back it should say
Cardinal Newman tells us: "Everyone who breathes,
high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a
mission, has a work. We are not born at random... God sees every one of
us; He creates every soul, He lodges it in a body, one by one, for a
purpose. He needs, He deigns to need, every one of us."10
10. John Henry Cardinal Newman,
Discourses Addressed to Mixed Congregations, Longmans, Green and
Co., pp. 111-112.
Some should be laminated.
Some about size of prayer manual.
Messenger:
Our vocation must be lived with
a pure intention to be
whatever God calls us to —
to love and serve God.
We must strive to live each day
in joy, in love.
We must see the gifts God
gives us —
See His grace given to us.
Pray for grace to live our vocation.
Do we identify with the passion
and forget about meditating
on the joy?
Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Think of the 40 days of lent —
the 40 days of joy after Easter.
We are in those days of joy.
We are imperfect —
we must
strive to be more perfect,
but be loving for we are
imperfect and so are our
brothers.
Think of a mom or dad getting
up with the baby. The mom
breastfeeding it after she is
already exhausted, cleaning
up vomit for a sick child when
you have just had a new baby and are
breastfeeding a new baby.
THIS IS LOVE OF HER VOCATION.
Shouldn't a religious nun or
brother, love their vocation —
serve Jesus and show love —
Why are they a religious if they
complain about everything
they are asked to do —
They are in the wrong vocation
possibly they should go
out to the world where they
can "call the shots".
Convents and seminaries are empty —
don't you think you should
pray like Jesus said.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:
"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly
newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of
Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and
the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of
Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading
devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of
Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will
use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate
Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the
members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be
deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer
to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

A message for the Earth from Jesus
January 22, 1998
I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to
help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to
include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As
My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to
try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of
Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most
urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to
begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd.
The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and
Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your
world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray
these prayers.
My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your
heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your
name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray
these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who
pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the
reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am
Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate
this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine
know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the
greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your
Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of
the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly
Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks
through it. end of January 22, 1998

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."

Second Sunday of Easter
Acts 2: 42-47
These remained faithful
to the teaching of the apostles, to the
brotherhood, to the breaking of bread
and to the prayers. And everyone was
filled with awe; the
apostles
worked many signs and miracles. And all
who shared the
faith
owned everything in common; they sold
their goods and possessions and
distributed the proceeds among
themselves according to what each one
needed. Each day, with one heart, they
regularly went to the
Temple
but met in their houses for the breaking
of bread; they shared their food gladly
and generously; they praised
God and
were looked up to by everyone. Day by
day the
Lord
added to their community those destined
to be saved.
Psalm 118: 2-4, 13-15, 22-24
Let the House of Israel
say,
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’
Let the House of Aaron say,
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’
Let those who fear Yahweh say,
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’
I was pushed hard, to
make me fall,
but Yahweh came to my help.
Yahweh is my strength and my song,
he has been my Saviour.
Shouts of joy and
salvation,
in the tents of the upright,
‘Yahweh’s right hand is triumphant,
The stone which the
builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
This is Yahweh’s doing,
and we marvel at it.
This is the day which Yahweh has made,
a day for us to rejoice and be glad.
1 Peter 1: 3-9
Blessed be God the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy has given us a new
birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead and into a heritage that can never be
spoilt or soiled and never fade away. It is reserved in heaven
for you who are being kept safe by God’s power through faith
until the salvation which has been prepared is revealed at the
final point of time.
This is a great joy to you, even
though for a short time yet you must bear all sorts of trials;
so that the worth of your faith, more valuable than gold, which
is perishable even if it has been tested by fire, may be
proved—to your praise and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed.
You have not seen him, yet you love him; and still without
seeing him you believe in him and so are already filled with a
joy so glorious that it cannot be described; and you are sure of
the goal of your faith, that is, the salvation of your souls.
John 20: 19-31
In the evening of that same day,
the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room
where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and
stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and,
after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The
disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said
to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
‘As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.’
After saying this he breathed on
them and said:
Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone’s sins,
they are forgiven;
if you retain anyone’s sins,
they are retained.
Thomas, called the Twin, who
was one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the
other disciples said to him, ‘We have seen the Lord,’ but he
answered, ‘Unless I can see the holes that the nails made in his
hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless
I can put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe.’ Eight
days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was
with them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came in and stood
among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. Then he spoke to
Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me
your hand; put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving any more
but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said
to him:
You believe because you can
see me.
Blessed are those who have not seen
and yet believe.
There were many
other signs that Jesus worked in the sight of the disciples, but
they are not recorded in this book. These are recorded so that
you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and
that believing this you may have life through his name.
