A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb,
the Bridegroom of the SoulOh 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.
Pray for two very, very urgent intentions

Pray for 2 very urgent intentions
May 17, 2002
Messenger: Jesus, my life is lived for Thee.
We can become lax, we can think we do "no wrong",
or very little wrong. Fr. Carter always examined
his conscience twice a day, he would stop for
10 minutes and do his "examine" he called it.
God has given us rules and regulations to live
by they are His 10 Commandments and His Word.
We can become so lax, we can think, "almost anything goes."
We could think that "everybody could make their own rules."
God is the Creator, we are the creatures.
When looking at Christians today, we may
ask of some who call themselves Christians,
do they really act Christ-like. A Christian
is one who models their life after Christ.
If other people look at the Christians
today, are they Christ-like.
I want to quote what Mary said to Jacinta.
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
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.... (19)
NOTES:
19. 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). p.9.

Messenger:
If we look at the clothes issue alone,
are we wearing modest clothes that would
please our Creator, Our God. Do we dress
like Jesus would want? Would we do that
kind of dress if we were meeting Jesus?
Some may think "almost anything goes", but we
must remember the words of Jesus when He
speaks and says,
John 14: 6 "I am the Way; I am Truth and Life."
Freedom is not found in doing what you want.
Freedom is found in not being enslaved to
the devil.
Freedom is found doing God's will.
Message from Ascension Thursday
Excerpt from May 21, 1998
excerpt from May 21, 1998 messageMessenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.
Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.
Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.
Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!

Messenger:
When we eat and drink and do just
what we want, or think we want to do,
we can be enslaved to things satan
wants us to do.
The focus now is on the priesthood much of the
time. There are very many holy priests. It is
Jesus' priesthood. Because individuals do sinful
things, we cannot forget to thank God for the
great gift of our priests and thank Him for the
Eucharist and all the sacraments and the Church.
Do we use the sacrament of confession as
we should, or do we just keep doing things God
really doesn't like us doing and then telling
ourselves it is okay.
God is love and in that love comes justice.
One of the things Jesus said in a message I recently
read was you are afraid. Are we afraid to
speak up for what is right? Do we live the
way God wants us to live? Do we set a good
example? Are we lights in this world?
Let's look at what Fr. Carter wrote on that Christmas
card in 1996.
May 17, 2002 message continues
Messenger:
Let's look at his message on the back of Tell My
People.
From Tell My People
Age of the Two Hearts
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!"

May 17, 2002 message continues
Messenger:
We can help to bring down great grace for souls,
for the priests, the Church and the world if
we live to serve as Jesus wants us to live.
The focus of today is so much on the self, getting
things for ourselves, making ourselves so
beautiful, sometimes we begin to forget to
serve others. We can get into a complex
of "Me", "Me", "Me".
It is important to interact with others, it helps us
to grow to be more perfected.
It takes discipline to be holy, to live likened
to Christ. We have to make sacrifices and
not give into ourselves many times.
We are at battle. The devil want us to be unloving.
The devil wants us to do things that aren't God's will for us.
God wants us to love each other.
I know that there are lots of things I have to do
for others and when I do them lovingly and
willingly they can help to bring down
great grace.
Doing things we need to do for others with
joy can help to bring down great grace.
Many times it is hard to work and pick up
it may be easier to sit on the phone and complain,
but just doing it and offering it up can help
to bring down great grace.
God intends us to labor.
Genesis 3: 19
By the sweat of your face
will you earn your food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
May 17, 2002 message continues
Messenger:
Many times I can see the opportunity for great
grace by doing the things I need to do, but don't
want to do very much.
We can get great grace by doing things for
others when God wants us to. This doesn't mean
spending all our time trying to please others and
neglect the things that God wants us to do that
are His will for us.
Fr. Carter would say it isn't that there is
too much suffering in the world, but so much
is wasted.
Fr. Carter always said we want to do God's will,
not too much of a thing or too little.
Why are we here on earth? We are here to love
and serve God and love one another.
My life is so short here below when compared
with all eternity.
Before the Tabernacle
May 17, 2002
Messenger:
Dear Jesus,
Oh Jesus I love being with you. I want to spend
my days in deepest union with you My
my Beloved Savior. I want to be deeply united to
the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit for all eternity.
Oh Jesus today is a good day because you are
always with me.
Jesus I love you so very much.
You are a Person, a Divine Person.
I love you my beloved God.
I LOVE YOU.
Oh Jesus please help me with the urgent
intention.
Oh Jesus you are so good to me.
I love you so much.
I opened Blue Book II and read
Seek True Treasures
Excerpt from February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.
Jesus: Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.
end of excerpt from February 17, 1994 message
February l7, 1994 After Communion
Jesus speaks: Picture yourself in a light blue sky. Fly away. You are free of everything and Jesus carries you along. Be alone with Me, in My love! You are totally surrounded by My love. You are totally free of all cares. Have this picture when you eat My food.
I love you.
Not one care, floating alone, no problems, no deadlines. I am in control and I have all the power. Let go. You have no cares. You are totally free, on a vacation. Let go like this after Communion. We are alone together, with no cares.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I lift you up and you are raised to such heights.
Alleluia, Praise the Lord.
end of February 17, 1994
February 18, 1994
Jesus: No one knows the glories of him who loves and serves the Lord.
You come and I am waiting, little one. Do you know the intensity of love I feel for you? Do you know I am waiting for you with such longing, just for you to come and be with Me?
I am God, I am Jesus, I am here in the tabernacle and you, My little one, focus on other things. Satan wants you bowed down or focused on other things. No one has any power over you. I have all the power. I have all the answers. If you search this barren desert for a million years, you will not know what I, God, can tell you in an instant. I can reveal such mysteries and truths in your heart in one moment! You will be filled with My love and grace when you come and sit with Me.
You want for nothing for I am God and I am your beloved. I am He Whose bootstraps you are unworthy to tie. I am the God of all heaven and earth and I come and speak to you, and you are afraid? You are focused on what nonsense! Take your burdens to the foot of the cross. Leave them there and follow Me.
Do not argue or belabor points with your brothers. Argumentation is from Satan. You put your focus on Me and My intense love of you! You see My face bloodied, bruised and beaten for love of you. You stop dead in your tracks and refuse to give in to Satan's snare to trip you up and get you focused on things that you have no control over.
I am the Alpha. I am the Omega. I am your all. I have all the power. You worry in vain. Keep your focus on Me. I am here, My little one. "One trial after another," you say? No, I say. I give you great gifts in your trials. They draw you closer to Me. What gifts! Each trial brings you in front of My tabernacle. Each trial teaches you how you must surrender and trust in Me. Do you believe I am closest in your trials? Then let go and do My work. Focus on Me and My work. Smile My smiles. Be as the light that shines in the darkest night. My might is endless and I give it to you in front of the tabernacle.
Satan wants you to focus on the things he has created to get you away from Me. You outsmart Satan. Come to My tabernacle and be filled by Me. You need no one's love but My love. I pour My Godly love out to you and You then can love your brothers, nice and not nice. I love you and you love them.
Love is the key. You battle your battles for Me, with My love. Do not be distracted. Do not give in to the mind to get you focused on other things. You control your mind. You must pray the prayer for union with Jesus. Surrender, trust, love. Do not let Satan take your peace.
You are doing My work here, and your work will affect the lives of millions. One stone can create so many ripples. The harder the stone falls, the more its weight, the more the ripples. You fall hard, hard in love with Me. You carry My weight, a mighty weight. You will create the ripples that are powered by the hand of God.
Do not look back. Look ahead. See Me and behold My face. My eyes look into yours and you behold Jesus, bloodied, bruised and beaten, with such peace, silence and composure. Is your trial this great that you cannot keep My peace in your heart? I gave My last drop of blood for you. Do you think I am not present today in this trial?
I am the key to unlock the hearts of the cold world. My words are their medicine. You possess letters from Jesus Christ and you worry?! Focus on Me and how I am so close to you always. I will direct you in everything you undertake. Satan will try to take your focus off of Me. He will try to distract you and tell you to think. You do not think. You act as I act in you. You know how your heart is. Pray that I will possess your soul. Let Me operate your very being. You are the wind-up toy, I am the Operator. Surrender, be selfless!
This one is for you, My beloved one. Feel My intense love within your breast and know I am present to you this way, this day. You become the key when I possess your soul. Total surrender. Trust. Don't look back. See with the eyes of God.
I am Number One in your life. All else follows after Me. My love is your first love. Come and let Me fill you with all you need. I love you so much. You do not even comprehend a speck of this love. Would you not trust Him Who shed His last drop of blood for you and gave His life for you?
I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am your all. I am Who am. I am the beginning. I am the end. I am the power and I am the might. I am all that is of any account. I come to you. Listen and be taught. Listen, focus on Me. I am the bridegroom of your soul. Come and I will love you. You are precious to Me. I love you. Jesus.
R. I want to just sit here and be taught by You, Jesus. You come and I sit in Your school. Like any school, it is hard work, but no school teaches these lessons. You are the professor and You start with the first day of our life to teach us Your ways.
If we go to other schools, TV, movies, newspaper, other people who are not of You, we are taught other lessons. You have the best school. You are the best teacher. You teach us the truths about Yourself.
Make me, Lord, love You more and more. Make me surrender in adversity to Your loving ways. Let me realize that it is in acceptance of all trials that I am taught mighty lessons to draw me close to Your Sacred Heart.
Help me to realize Your hand is in everything I experience. Let me always make You my first love and realize that anything or anyone who takes me from You is not good for me. I must love others with Your heart. I must always focus on You as my primary goal and love You with all my heart. When I love You first, Lord, my actions become those of Your love. I can love the unloving and spread Your light in the darkness. Fill me so I can overflow to all those who need Your love.
I love You, Jesus.

February 7, 2002
To whom it may concern,
We circulate the Priestly Newsletter that goes to 75,000 priests in the world. This has been circulated since 1994 at the direction of Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. who had a doctorate in Theology and taught at Xavier University for over thirty years and author of eighteen books on the spiritual life and many other various publications.
Our primary purpose is to circulate this Newsletter. We are now sending three years of Newsletters in a book of 342 pages to 75,000 priests in the United States and 90 foreign countries. A special Newsletter is enclosed with Father Carter's powerful writing on Grace (2001 issue 1). This writing is also available on tape and on disc.
Our coequal purpose is to circulate prayer manuals Father Carter compiled for prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and
the world.All of our printing and postage costs so much money.
We operate from the Virgin Mary building in Clearwater, Florida, pictures are enclosed. We use the building to spread materials and rosaries
to encourage people to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.We also have a church we received from the diocese in China, Indiana where we distribute our materials and pray before the Blessed Sacrament hourly and about two hours or more at 6:20 every day. Monthly adoration before the exposed Eucharist is held for our members for 48 hours on the 12th of each month to the 14th.
We have a third center in Morrow, Ohio which is our communication center and mailing address.
We circulate rosaries handmade to Catholic schools all over the United States and meditation sheets and consecration cards. We try to send scapulars too when we have them. We supply many beads to our rosary makers for this.
We had difficulty all last summer securing funds for beads for our rosary makers. We were not able to send the 100,000 or more rosaries we usually send in October and May because of funds.
We need $10,000 every month for the loan on the Virgin Mary building. We pray nightly there usually for about two hours or more at 6:20. We pray all through the day there, hourly, many times before the image. A big prayer meeting is held on the 5th of the month. Prayers are prayed for about 4 hours for the priests, the Church and the world. We broadcast to at least 8 states and all join in the prayers, including Morrow and China.
We have a nursing home ministry and a prison ministry. We supply coloring books of the rosary mysteries and the Mass to children.
We desperately need funds for the printing and the rosary making operation and all the postage. Bishops from foreign countries beg for rosaries and prayer sheets with the Shepherds of Christ Prayers.
Now we are struggling with the monthly rent on the building and the postage for the foreign mailing of the Priestly Newsletter Book II.
We always need money for the rosary beads for the schools and the Virgin Mary building.
We also do a Holy Spirit Novena, but the little book has been out of print for some time because of lack of funds. Teachers like to use it for confirmation. We have prayer chapters using it daily all over the world.
We want to circulate pictures of the crucifix and Mary's image on the building, we are unable to do this because of lack of funds. Enclosed are pictures of the crucifix and the Virgin Mary building.
A very important part of our Movement is trying to get people to say the Morning Offering. Here is a card we distribute extensively, especially to Nursing Homes and school children.
Here is a short form of consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we circulate extensively.
Can you help us. It is a real shame to not even have rent on the building Mary appears on.We need to tell the world about the Mass. This is another important aspect of our ministry. We have so many writings about the Mass. Mass Book I with the Imprimatur—and all Fr. Carter's writings and many other writings discerned by Fr Carter before his death.
It is a shame with all the money in the world not to be able to get the rosary beads to the rosary makers for school children who want them to pray the rosary.
Our movement is trying to do what Our Lady told us to do at Fatima for peace in the world.
Can you help us?
