                May we fashion our life after
                    Mary —

                Our joy is in our faith

                Isaiah — I rejoice in the Lord

                I can speak words, but what
                    matters is in my heart —
                    that I am true in my heart —

                How can we clap for someone
                    who is for abortion —

                What am I doing in my heart to really
                    be more pure like Mary and Jesus —
                    so when I pray I am holy in
                    my heart —

                I have been called in the Shepherds of Christ to
                    bring people to purity in their hearts —
                    that I am more one in my heart
                    with Jesus and Mary —

                Our hearts are tainted because of
                    original sin —

                Adam and Eve sinned —

                Mary and Jesus have pure and holy Hearts
                    of love — perfect, sinless, holy

                Love and Truth —

                Everyone receives a call from God —

                We have been called through baptism
                    to spread the Good News —

                Every day is a new day —

                Dear Mary we intercede to you —
                We love you — 

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

                Dear God help us to see how important it is that we are
                    connected to You inwardly —

                    That we don't make our days full of learning
                        things about being a Catholic and leave out
                        our intimate love union with You —
                        That we don't leave out our hearts —

                    That we focus on holiness and love —

                    That we want to dwell deeply in the Heart of
                        Jesus and have Jesus dwell in us —

                We are to not have Iceland hearts like the
                    Volcano — that can spiel anger out in
                    heated ways on others —

                That our hearts are alive with the love of
                    Jesus — living in Him — not
                    Ice - land

                Remember the earthquake in Haiti — those
                    people still suffer —
                    We can pray for them, but the earth quaking
                    at Haiti may bring up to us about Hate —

                Anger in our hearts is an energy that becomes
                    like a growing loaf of bread —
                    volcanic ash —

                Energy — like an arrow — until it heats up
                    so much — spews so much and has
                    to land and punish others, innocent
                    others because of the growing force
                    behind it 

                God is love

                In Him there is no darkness —

                The devil wants hate to grow in our hearts —
                    against our neighbor —

                God gives us the greatest commandment

                God calls us to love our neighbor —

                Have no room in your heart for anger and hate
                    directed at our brothers we were
                    commanded by God to love —

1 John 4: 19-20

Let us love, then,
because he first loved us.
Anyone who says ‘I love God’
and hates his brother,
is a liar,
since whoever does not love the brother
   whom he can see
cannot love God whom he has not seen.

 

                It is our response to God's love

                To lay down our lives for our neighbor —

                Intimacy with God —

                He gives us Communion —

                To be so one with Him and one with
                    each other

                He intends us to bear fruit for the
                    Kingdom —

                    Not hide our talents

                Lord we have sinned against You in
                    our lives —

                Have mercy on us God —

                We are sorry we sat on a pity-pot —
                    instead of being full of gratitude
                    for our gifts —

                Oh God thank You for our gifts —
                    give us forgiveness for offending
                    You with hatred and misery
                    instead of thanking You for
                    Your precious gifts
                    and bearing fruit for the Kingdom                   

                We are to praise Your name God —
                We are to thank You —
                We are to be joyful for the gifts You
                    have given

                We are to be thankful and faithful —

                Help the Spirit of truth to be in
                    us and that we testify to the
                    truth — not falsity and
                    contempt

John 15: 26—16:4a

When the Paraclete comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth
    who issues from the Father,
he will be my witness.
And you too will be witnesses,
because you have been with me
     from the beginning.
I have told you all this
so that you may not fall away.
They will expel you
    from the synagogues,
and indeed the time is coming
when anyone who kills you
    will think he is doing
        a holy service to God.
They will do these things
because they have never known
    either the Father or me.
But I have told you all this,
so that when the time for it comes
you may remember that I told you.

                In the 1st reading we see about
                    Paul's journey and how Paul
                    encourages them in their faith —

                This is how he met Lidia,
                    Timothy and Silas —

                Paul simply preaches the Gospel —
                Paul tells them what he believed —

                Jesus tells them He is the Messiah —
                    then He dies —
                    People are confused —

                Paul tells them about the Holy Spirit —
                    He tells them Jesus was
                    the Messiah —
                    and Jesus is the Savior

                Paul is testifying to Jesus of
                    Nazareth —

                The teaching is of the Apostles —
                    what they saw and heard —

                They witnessed for 3 years —
                They wanted to tell other people

                Sin and death is overcome —
                Jesus has risen —

                We as members of the Church
                    carry on His mission of
                    service to others —
                    living the Gospel —
                    We are called to alleviate
                    the pain we can of
                    people in the world —

                We are called to serve —
                    serve Jesus and
                    not wait to be waited on —

                We pray for the leaders of the
                    Church —

                We pray leaders serve the
                    common good —

                We pray for those being
                    confirmed to be strong
                    witnesses of the Holy Spirit
                    in their lives —

                We pray for the Shepherds of Christ and all
                    priests and all God has
                    called us to witness to —

                We pray we will serve
                    those — give of ourselves
                    to those God has called
                    us to witness to —

                Oh God help us to be made pure —

                In the Mass —
                Outpour Your gifts —
                We thank You —
                Help us to bear fruit for the Kingdom
                God wash away my sins —

                Oh God we thank You —
                Oh God we love You —
                Oh God help us to serve You —
                Oh God thank You for the Eucharist —
                Oh God thank You for giving us
                    Yourself —
                Oh God thank You for our priests —
                Oh God we love You and serve You —

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

  

                We pray to the Father united to
                    Jesus in the Holy Spirit with

                    and souls in purgatory —

                We praise You God
                We adore You God

                We pray for the priests, the
                    Church and the world —

                    not to be served —

                Jesus is love —
                Love spreads —
                Love gives

                Jesus I love You so much —
                I love to receive You in the Eucharist —
                I am so unworthy You come to me —

                Oh God let me love You so deeply —
                    my heart skips a beat to
                    receive You —

                I cry for this gift —

                My heart is moved so deeply for
                    You are my all —
                    My love — my heart longs
                    for You my God —

                Come into my heart God —
                Feed my weary soul —

                Let my soul be clean for You are
                    so worthy —

                Oh God help me to be holy —
                Oh God help me to love as You desire —
                Oh God teach me to give and not to
                    count the cost —

                Oh God — I love You —
                Oh God — I adore You —
                Oh God — I praise You —
                I am Yours, Oh God —

                Sing: I Love You Jesus

                Sing: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

                Sing: A Song from Jesus

                Come Lord Jesus fill me

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

Lamb of God

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

                We come to God as His family —
                We ask for God's forgiveness and
                    mercy —

                We pray through the intercession
                    of Mary —

                Lord have mercy on us
                Forgive us our sins —

                Christ have mercy on us —
                Please forgive us our sins —

                Lord we beg for forgiveness
                    for our sins
                Lord have mercy on us —

                St. Damian we pray through your
                    powerful intercession —

                Dear Holy Spirit let us see how important
                    our lives are to You —

                That we do not belittle how
                    important our lives are
                    in serving You as You
                    desire —

                The Lord takes delight in His
                    people —

                Oh God we sing to You —
                Oh God we praise You
                Oh God we love You —

                Please hear our prayers praying
                    for the priests, the Church
                    and the world —

                Oh God help the Spirit of truth
                    to be in us —

                Oh God we love You so much —

                Listen again to the Gospel
                    from today

John 15: 26—16:4a

When the Paraclete comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth
    who issues from the Father,

                Sing: Veni Sanctu Spiritus

                Sing: Pentecost Sequence

                Sing: Come Holy Spirit

                Sing: Come Holy Ghost

                The Spirit of God dwells in me —

                St. Damian of Moloka —
                    Day he arrived May 10th

                St. Damian wanted to be a
                    missionary —
                    he prayed to St. Francis Xavier
                    Damian went to Hawaii
                    He was ordained in Hawaii

                Damian asked to serve
                    the lepers —
                    He had zeal to serve —

                Pope Benedict XVI canonized
                    Damian

                These lepers were abandoned by
                    all — finally for the
                    last 4 years of his
                    life — he was a leper —

                There was declining moral —
                    sin - among the lepers —
                    He built a church —

                Damian buried the dead himself —
                He served with leprosy —
                He worked harder to see his
                    work continued after his
                    death —

                Service — He served — He served

                Because of his witness to
                    God others served —

                How can you testify to
                    the Lord —

                You too will testify to the Lord —

John 15: 26—16:4a

When the Paraclete comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth
    who issues from the Father,
he will be my witness.
And you too will be witnesses,
because you have been with me
     from the beginning.
I have told you all this
so that you may not fall away.
They will expel you
    from the synagogues,
and indeed the time is coming
when anyone who kills you
    will think he is doing
        a holy service to God.
They will do these things
because they have never known
    either the Father or me.
But I have told you all this,
so that when the time for it comes
you may remember that I told you.

                We ask the Holy Spirit to be in us —

                To spread God's love like
                    Damian

                We identify our suffering in
                    our life with Christ —

                We suffer with Christ —

                    We don't throw back in God's
                face the grace He wants to give
                us — He lets us suffer to identify
                with Christ's suffering —

                St. Damian help us —

                Jesus has given us the Clearwater
                    building

                Jesus is truly with us in
                    China —

                Because of our holiness —
                    we can help others to
                    be close to Christ
                    because of our witness

                Some have been healed when using
                    the Shepherds of Christ Prayers and
                    praying before the statue
                    with glass —

                Mary's image appeared in Clearwater
                    and dot by dot Mary's image
                    matched up with Our Lady of Guadalupe

                Jesus gave Himself in pure love
                    for us —

                God has asked us to spread this
                    devotion to His pure and
                    holy Heart of love - on
                    fire for men —

                These lepers suffered and could
                    identify with Christ and His
                    torn flesh — His wounds —

                These saints witness to us today —
                Their lives of service —

                People with Leprosy are
                    abandoned by their families
                    most of the time —

                God has called us to be loving —
                    to be friends to each other —
                    to testify to the Holy Spirit —
                    to give our love to others

                Let us live as witnesses of love and
                    give honor and glory to God —
                    and not to be selfish —

                But to go out —

                Let us be focused on relationship
                    with God and others

                Sing: We Have Been Told

                To bear fruit for the Kingdom —
                   
                To love God and others as we have
                    been commanded

Matthew 22: 36-39

'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.

                Love is a choice

                It is our response to God's call —               

                God calls us to holiness
                God calls us to witness —
                God calls us to serve —

                The fallen angels said — "we will not serve"

                We have a free will —
                To follow Christ, the saints —
                Or to follow satan

                The members of the body of Christ
                    are wounded —

                We need to pray for each other —
                    pray for the priests, the Church
                    and the world —

                Pray in love and service —

                Pray to spread the prayer
                    chapters as Jesus
                    asked Fr. Carter to spread them
                    all over the world —

                Now we have the prayers in
                    8 languages to pray for the
                    priests, the Church and the world —

Homily by Fr. Barth

Luke 11: 29-32

The crowds got even bigger and he addressed them, ‘This is an evil generation; it is asking for a sign. The only sign it will be given is the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be a sign to this generation. On Judgement Day the Queen of the South will stand up against the people of this generation and be their condemnation, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, look, there is something greater than Solomon here. On Judgement Day the men of Nineveh will appear against this generation and be its condemnation, because when Jonah preached they repented; and, look, there is something greater than Jonah here.

 

    Two things from the Gospel today. The first is a matter of a generation that is evil, and Jesus is very clear why the generation is evil — because they seek a sign. In other words, they want God to reveal God's self as they want God to reveal God's self. They want God to, if you will, bend God's will to their will. They want God to be the God like they want God to be, instead of God being God. And the generation, which is called evil, to be indeed subservant to God's will.

    And I think we can recognize that in our own era. And not just beyond these walls, because even for ourselves who are gathered here, we must recognize that we also at times, are unfaithful, that we want God to give us a sign, that we want God to be the kind of God that we want God to be, and sometimes we don't submit ourselves to God's own will. Isn't that true? And so we gather here to seek God's mercy and God's forgiveness, and to be more in sync with God's will, so that we might be what we are called to be as Christians in the world — salts, lights and leaven. But Jesus responds to — the evil age wanting to see a sign, wanting to see God's action as they want it, with a response.

    The response is just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be a sign to this age. Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of the whale, the Son of Man spent 3 days in the belly of the earth and then rose. And this sign, the sign of the Son of Man rising from the dead, having given His life for sinners, is present to us at this Mass - this one. The sign is Jesus Himself. And He's most especially present in the Eucharist, that we will be celebrating. And in the Eucharist what is presented to us, again, in an unbloody way, is that very sacrifice of Christ and His triumph over sin and death. His crucifixion and His resurrection happen at this very altar at the hands of a priest, so that it might become part of our own lived reality — the sign of Jonah given to us.

    This is the other thing then that will answer the evil age, is a matter of those, like the Ninevites, hearing the Word of God. Jonah went to Nineveh to preach the Word of God that he had received — but what we have here, as Jesus says, is greater. It's not just the Word of God that has been received, that is then preached, but is the Word of God Himself present among us here and now. We believe that at the Mass, Jesus Himself, who is the Word of God, is present to us, in one another, for He promised where two or more are gathered in His Name, He is in their midst. Are we believing? And if we do, then we know that He is here present among us, for we have gathered in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

    He works through the hands and actions of the minister. He is present among us in the sacred minister. I act in Persona Christi for the salvation of the world, not because of who I am, but by the grace of God. He is present in the Word that is proclaimed because He is the Word. You can't separate them. And He is preeminently present in the sacrament that we are about to celebrate and share. Yes, we say His Body and His Blood, but what does that mean ultimately? It means His very presence is given to us as real food and drink — His vivifying life given to us a real food and real drink.

    There is indeed something greater than Jonah here. It is the Lord Himself, but that takes place because there is a priest who is present. Once again, this is not about me trying to say, "Look how special I am." It's not about me. It's about the love of God acting through those who have been called by Him, and by ordination have been graced and transformed so that they can act in the person of Christ. And this is only possible because priests, yes are called, but also are supported through prayer and dedication, their own, and also the people of God, and you all, as the Shepherds of Christ.

    It is your ministry, the core of what you do, to pray for priests, that they might be faithful, and that they might be the instruments of God, that God wants them to be. And through that action, a priest, salvation is given because Christ Himself is given, most especially in the sacraments, and preeminently in the sacrament of the Eucharist. Your ministry is important and pivotal for the Church, for the salvation of the world. You're participating in the salvific act of Christ. And you also then pray for vocations, that others will yield themselves to the call of Christ, and then come to celebrate the sacraments, come to act in the person of Christ, for us and for our salvation.

    The importance of this work can not be over estimated. It is beyond our imaginings because in it the action of Christ continues, by God's grace. And so in these retreat days, consider anew the core of your ministry, praying for priests and praying for vocations, praying that the salvation of the world might be procured through the action of Christ, which is continued through the hands, of those who act in the person of Christ, the sacerdotes, the priests and bishops throughout the world.

    And pray that the world will be open to hear that message, that they will come to know the wonder of salvation, that God has in story for us, not just a return to the proverbial garden of Eden, where human beings walked and talked to Christ, that they were friends. But something greater that was wrought by Christ, a restoration - yes; but also a sanctification that leads to a deification, because in the redemption what happens for God's faithful people, is that we get to participate in God's own life, not just walking aside and conversing as friends, but being taken up in God's own life — participating in God's own life — so that we might have everlasting life. And this is given to us most especially through the sacraments of the Church, and preeminently in the Eucharist. Let us pray indeed that God will continue to allow the sign of Jonah to radiate out into the world, by giving us and sustaining for us, good and holy priests.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

May 13, 1917 

    "Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.

    "I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want

    "Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?

    "Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." ⁽⁸⁾

June 13, 1917

    "God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." ⁽¹⁰⁾

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." ⁽¹¹⁾

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ⁽¹²⁾

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." ⁽¹³⁾

September 13, 1917

    More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.⁽¹⁶⁾

    While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:

    As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. ⁽¹⁸⁾

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996.

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ

R. The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.

Mary: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.

I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

end of August 1, 1994

October 13, 1994

    "I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:

    'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

    'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

    'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'

    "Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

    "As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

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:

    1. 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.
    2. For the Pope.
    3. For all bishops of the world.
    4. For all priests.
    5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
    6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
    7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
    8. For all members of the human family.
    9. For all souls in purgatory.

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!"

end of excerpt from Tell My People

    Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:

    More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.

    Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.

    Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.

    Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.

    I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.

    If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.

    Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. ⁽¹⁹⁾

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and Workplace to Our Hearts

Jesus: I want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.

Today is First Friday. I want you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to you when you consecrated your home.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday, I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this consecration.

Gather your friends and say the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.

R. Jesus said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.

Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.

Men's hearts have turned cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.

You are to promote devotion to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart. It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life.

Offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.

R. He promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart and who tell others about offering reparation to Him.

Excerpt from March 7, 1994

Jesus speaks: "Busy yourself for your day is at hand and you will know My might! I will shake the earth and you will listen Then you will listen, but where were you when I gave you forewarning? You are waiting for the big boom. I am calling you now to listen to Me here....Time is so short. One moment and it is up in smoke....What do I do to shake you? I, in My might can rock you off your rockers. I try to prepare you but you are too busy. Hold on to your last piece of dust and watch it go up in your face! I am Jesus Christ, Son of God and I write to you and who pays heed here? This should tell you of your attachments to worldly things. You want proof. You look the other way. I am God and you contain the mighty medicine for this sick world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. Do you listen?"

end of  excerpt

excerpt from March 13, 1994 

Jesus: "You must tell them how I wait for them. I wait. I want them to come and I will give them such love! Tell them, Rita, tell them! Your discontent is from what emotions I give you and you keep them inside. I want all to know Me and My love. I am crying out to you, little one. Tell them, tell them. Do not waste any time. I am crying out for you to spread this message. I want you to tell all of My love and how I am waiting. Emotion, Emotion! I am crying out to you in your heart. I long for their love. I died for them. How do I make them know if you, to whom I speak, hold back? I want you to get the messages out child.
   Ready yourself for a big boom. No one is listening. I am crying out to you. Prepare your brothers, they are in darkness....I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire for love of them. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I call you to this state of urgency. Move your friends by this urgent letter. There is no more time to waste. I call you all here to deliver this message personally to you. I am Jesus. I am begging each of you to spread My message. Tell them of My ardent love. In each moment you waste, souls will be lost."
