God the Father has a Plan for us. I
see the war — the lack of peace — Christ
showed us with His death on the cross — there
was peace against the darkness. Where there
is war — those with Jesus have peace always
in their hearts.
Satan can storm the world — the Church —
those whose hearts are consecrated to the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary can have peace. Mary appeared
the Queen of Peace — the message if we consecrate our
hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, consecrate our
homes, churches, schools — we will have peace —
Peace is found on this earth in dwelling in
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
The Lady of Fatima appeared 1917 in a quiet
little village — like China, Indiana — away from
there 1916 World War I raged ——
Mary said
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
"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)
NOTES:
11. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to
Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN
Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.3-4.
12. Ibid., pp.4-5.
13. Ibid., p.5.
There was World War II we ignored her — the devastation
of dead bodies thrown on heaps —
what of the souls that are going to the pit of hell.
The devil grips a person — they give in — the fallacious
reasoning — lies of the devil — man making himself
dominant over God — this to me is a chastisement
due to not obeying the Fatima message —
Man has made himself in secularism his own god,
willfulness, disrespect is at an all time high.
Even in war there is peace for the ones whose
hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary —
This means we choose to love — we choose to respect
authority — we obey the commandments — we do not
wage war punishing, fighting, but loving, forgiving
— giving hope through Christ Jesus to the children.
On a dark day — against an angry sky — the cross
of Jesus heralds Peace on the earth — Good will to men
You say — Oh Rita the suffering —
I say and Look to the Resurrection —
He suffered and died, but He rose to Victory
In a depraved condition Christ entered the world —
the Lamb who suffered for our sins
the Lamb sacrificed the Son of God —
The Sacrifice sacramentally made present at the Mass
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: A Priest Is a Gift from God
Satan is hate — satan tempts through lies —
satan wants to control — not for the honor and glory of
God, but to get souls to hell —
Cross in China
BY Your cross and resurrection — you have
redeemed the world
Christ suffered in the depraved condition of the
world
Besides the pressure of war — the love of the
Church must be as a lighthouse to the world —
The love of the 2 pure Hearts — the New Adam and the
New Eve —
In displaying Their images — so people are aware the
Sacred Heart is the King here
He is on the throne
He is the King of our hearts —
People can get an idea — it's me and Jesus and everybody
else is not nice —
When we love like Jesus — we love all the souls, the
sinners, He forgave them to His death on the cross —
The devil is the father of lies
The devil works in secrets, fallacious reasoning
The devil wants cover-ups
Jesus' arms were spread open on the cross —
Here is a picture of Jesus in China at the 12th station
He spread His all He gave His Body, His Blood —
He died for His beloved souls.
Song: Teach Me to Love with Your Heart
These songs are profound and simple —
begging Jesus to give us a heart like His
Our lives are like a windy river, that goes
upward
The Nile kept flooding — why did God flood
the earth at the time of Noah —
My life is a journey and it goes down a path —
a twist and a turn here and there, but it
keeps going upward
Sometimes the debris in the river slow
me down
The water can be calm like a sea of glass
Or like an angry storm the water can
kick up over my head
Sometimes the river is so full it floods
it banks
Sometimes it can be almost empty
I keep going up stream even when the
current goes down stream — I never
go in the wrong direction
The way winds and bends and I go with the flow
whether hard or soft waters —
my God walks by me
And my peace is found — always —
if I go below the surface of a
rough storm —
my peace is always there
Peace even in turmoil
Peace in rain
Peace in a dark sky
Peace at night
Peace against the wind, the current
Peace, Peace, Peace
Now satan wants a person to go down stream —
Swimming against God's will is going
against the current —
A diver must take precautions to be safe
Satan's bed is a bed of lies
Satan is like a diver going on a 200 ft
dive with no precautions
no gismos to make it safe
Look at the lighthouse and see the light —
day and night and day again — in the winds and
rain the lighthouse shines and sheds it's
light far and wide
When I paddle with Christ — I am this
lighthouse
When I paddle with satan — the nights
are the darkest —
no happiness there —
the purpose is selfishness and pain
Adam ate the forbidden fruit
The New Adam gave the last drop of His Blood —
12th Station in China
Oh it isn't the bends in the water —
the barges that are so big
It is the Savior Sailor that walks on
water and sleeps in the boat
in the storm
Song: I am Your Sacred Heart
And we try to go without Him
and some people's boats have
turned downward
They may get a spot of cancer to
turn their boat back to him or
suffer some loss
In the end we see that this journey on earth
doesn't last too long, but
turning our boats upward is the
concern of the Father
An old barn was full of tobacco and it
smelled in there — It felt dusty and dirty
and just ugly —
A horse ran rapid through the leaves and
somebody said "How did he even
get in there, why would a
horse do that?"
Work horses have big feet and don't run
races usually
Shoe boxes are for shoes
I am the Perfect Pair of Shoes
February 3, 1994 5:40 a.m.
R. Oh, Lord, show me Your ways. Mold me, fashion me into your instrument. Empty my mind of anything that is not for Your work. I am Your servant. This is my job. Oh, how I love Thee, my all.
6:30 a.m.
R. I feel like an empty shoe box. The box looks good but is no longer providing the purpose for which it was created. The box needs to be filled with a pair of shoes and then it is realizing fully the reason for its existence.
I am an empty shoe box that was created to be filled by God. If God is not in me, then I feel I have no reason for my existence. I can fill myself with other things, like putting junk in the shoe box, but the form and the way it was created is only meaningful when it contains a pair of shoes.
I can fill myself with other things, but my life is only meaningful when it is filled by God. In You, Lord, I have peace.
I sat here and was in love with Jesus for about 50 minutes and I felt like this empty shoe box. I had not a letter to start. I know that only in You, Lord, do I have meaning. When You come and fill me with Your presence, I am as You created me to be. Without You I might as well be filled with junk. I am empty!
Jesus: Let Me fill you. I am a pair of shoes to the shoe box. A shoe box is at its ultimate when it is filled with shoes. It is only in Me that you have any meaning at all. You were created by Me to be filled by Me. If you do not have My life, vibrant and as your main purpose inside you, you will find all kinds of things to fit inside you, but you are missing why you were created as you are. You reach your ultimate purpose in Me.
This is My teaching: your main concern is to know, love and serve Me. All else is useless and frustrates the very reason for your existence. You were created with special talents. You have all you need to accomplish My work.
To try to be a good carpenter without any talent for that work is a disaster. It takes inborn talent to do that work. It takes inspiration and know--how to learn from a Master carpenter.
You, My child, have talents just right to do My work. If you do other things, it does not bring you harmony. You and My work for you fit like a glove. My work for you is not the way of the world. Your glory is not attained in this world. He who seeks the glory of the world as his end is missing the boat. Only when you seek God as your end do you find the perfect glove. You fit into a glove that was created by Me. You and the glove are a perfect match. If you try to put yourself into someone else's glove, you have lots of trouble. Their glove was made for them. Your glove is the only glove that brings you peace and comfort.
You find your glove when you are doing My will. If you do your own will, you are trying to squeeze yourself into someone else's glove, or maybe it is very baggy on you. Either way, you are very uncomfortable with a tight glove or a loose glove. Your glove fits just right.
Seek the Lord and He will be found. Call to Him and He will come! You must forever listen to the promptings in your heart. I am ever present there and ready to tell you exactly what I want you to do. It is you, in your willfulness and in your desire for control, who do your own things. My work fits you like a glove. It may not be anything you want to do at first, but if you do your own will, it is like putting your hand into someone else's glove. It just isn't right.
Open up your hearts to Me. Sit in silence and be with Me. Make your whole day a day to be in harmony with Me. Do not get anxious and up-tight. I, in My time, make My will very clear to you. At this moment I may want you praying or being very still. I may want you to learn patience. I will never let you down. When you seek the Lord, He will be found. When you call to Him, He will harken, but in His time.
My hand is in everything you are experiencing. Pray for openness to know My will. Pray for harmony with Me. I do not want you ever to be so busy you are missing your time with Me. This is to go it alone. I am the center of your life. I am He Who gives you directions. If you are busy to the point of not having time to come to Me, you are missing the most important part of your life. I must come first in your life. Your personal relationship is with Me! All else takes its place after this. My ways I make clear to you in the silent whispers of your heart. You cannot go it without Me. I must be your top priority.
Come to Me, My babies. I have all the answers. Satan wants you to miss your time with Me. He is always working to stop you so you do not have time to be with Me. I must be first in your life. I give you your directions. I tell you My ways. I give you peace and love and joy. I am your refuge in a busy world. I am He Whom you crave. Your union with Me is your top concern. Come and let Me fill you. You are the empty box. I am the perfect pair of shoes.
I love you, sweet ones. Come to Me and let Me make your paths right. I am He Who never steers you wrong. Nobody can tell you what I can. Your life is full only in Me.

We were created for a purpose
From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius,
by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p. 1121. SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
Which have as their purpose the conquest of self
and the regulation of one's life in such a way that
no decision is made under the influence of any
inordinate attachment
p. 12
23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION
Man is created to praise, reverence
and serve God
our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.
Genesis 1: 26-27
God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
The plan is the Creators for His creatures
How sweet is God to give the sky the
dainty stars at night and the beautiful
moon for our sleeping
And the sunlit day for the beauty of
seeing His gorgeous earth and
His creation
When rains come we say — oh we want sun —
When day — we want night
When cold we say hot and
Yet God shows us the barrenness of winter
God shows us the flowers of spring,
the fruit of the garden —
the leaves of summer
the lilies of the field
the water lilies
the birds flying in the sky — they do not fall
against the forces of gravity —
I cannot fly, can you?
Where does the sky go mommy?
Is there an end to the earth?
How deep is the sea, mommy?
If fish could fly would they be birds, mommy?
Why doesn't our dog talk and play checkers
with me, mommy?
IS the old oak full of poison oak that
made me covered with itches?
Mommy why does something so pretty like
a big tree have a poison vine
like that?
Mommy don't you know that some bugs
shine and they have no little batteries —
mommy, why?
Well Mary says — children you are the
creatures of God the Father and
children you were created in the image
and likeness of Jesus —
You were created to seek the love of God —
in this lies your strength and
only this will satisfy you
Satan is trying to get you to eat the
poison of the earth —
Like Eve in the garden you give
into his tricks
The commandments given to Moses never have
grown old
God has no beginning and end.
Adam and Eve sinned and you act from
your wounded human nature —
your vision is blinded.
I am Our Lady of Light
Our Lady of the Rosary
Our Lady of Fatima —
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of all of my Titles
to tell you a message from God the Father —
You have sinned
You must make reparation to Our Hearts
There will be an era of Peace
My Son's Movement Shepherds of Christ will help to
bring to completion the mission
I began at Fatima —
Until a sufficient number of people have given
their Hearts to Jesus and Mary you
won't have peace in the world.
I want you, as God the Father requests —
to always keep Our Building of the
Two Hearts in Clearwater, Florida
as a place of prayer and spreading
devotion to Our 2 Hearts and
the Priestly Newsletter, Prayer
Chapters and mission of my Son Jesus for
the Shepherds of Christ Movement - to spread the
Ministries —
The Center of the Shepherds of Christ Movement is China, Indiana
at St. Anthony's Church where by
I desire 24 hour adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament, priest retreats and
a place for the writings of my
Son's Newsletters and Books —
China is to be the place the Priestly
Newsletter is sent to the world —
spreading the devotion to Our 2 Hearts —
The grottos by the creek must be the
Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
I desire stations to be erected on stone
rocks with lights at each station —
candles and pray
I desire a rosary with meditations and lights
surrounding the church and the 12th station
and crucifix of the rosary
to be one.
I want Bob to help me in this
way.
I want this in honor of my 90th
anniversary at Fatima —
Donations and commemoration plaques
(small ones) can be placed by each
station — in memory of etc.
This will be the beginning of my making
my China Center and Florida Center
places of prayer to spread the
love of the Eucharist and the
Consecration of Our 2 Hearts to the world —
There will be a great era of peace and
love in which the Sacred Heart of
Jesus will Reign and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary will
triumph —
Spread Our messages in Fr. Carter's
Book from Our 2 Hearts
Tell My People
On this 90th Anniversary of my
apparition at Fatima this is my
message.
I desire Felix's crucifixes and the Fatima
statues as my Son directed be used
by the prayer chapters —
It will be in commemoration of the
image in Clearwater —
The prayers are to be prayed by the
crucifix and Fatima statue —
to pray for the Priestly Newsletter,
for its success, the priests, the
Church and the world.
I want the prayers in Italian to be
prayed — the Imprimatur is
needed —
I want the Shepherds of Christ prayers in Polish and
German
I want this done in a timely manner —
I ask for help for building up
St. Anthony's, the Building of the
Two Hearts and
spreading the Priestly Newsletter
as it has been done.
My Son and I are very happy
with your work —
with the Newsletter
with China
More pilgrimages must go to the Centers to
pray in China before the Eucharist —
I want places for priests to make retreats
I am Mary your Mother —
this is my message on this 90th
anniversary.
Priests should come to China to pray, to
see the Newsletter go out to the world.
I love you,
I am Mary your Mother
The Shepherds of Christ Newsletter
came from my Son in a
message Fr. Carter received
13 years ago May 31, 1994.
The Newsletter will be 13 years
old this month.
May 31st is my son's birthday.
13 years ago
July 31, 1994
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."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
October 13, 1994
The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ
"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:
'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...
'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.
'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'
"Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.
"As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."
- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.
from Tell My People
Jesus speaks: "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.
"After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"
end of excerpt from Tell My People
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
My dear fellow Associate Members,
Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:
My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.
These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.
I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.
I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.
I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.
This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:
- For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
- For the Pope.
- For all bishops of the world.
- For all priests.
- For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
- For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
- For all members of the Catholic Church.
- For all members of the human family.
- For all souls in purgatory.
