R. My dear God,
I ask You to be with me today in all I do,
all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings.
I give myself to You, united to the Masses
going on around the world.
I am Yours Lord, I want to have my life
in You –
Please help me Lord –
Please help all my intentions today, my
family, the priests, the Church and the
world, all we promised to pray for – all
that asks us to pray for them –
I am Yours Lord, I want to have my life
in You - help me God.
Holy Spirit help me to live virtuously –
Help me to be one in You –
Help me to love and to be as You want
me to be –
Holy Spirit fill my heart with love –
How fragile our lives really are –
We cannot control everything around us
and accidents happen –
We seek the increase of faith to see through
the eyes of the heavenly Father –
God gives us the Holy Eucharist to feed the life
we received in baptism –
God does have a plan for us –
We may be tested and tried on this journey,
but it is indeed a luxury to know God's
presence with us.
We may have to wait on that which is difficult
for His timing, but if we put our faith and
trust in Him and things are looking up in
the situation, only a fool would despair
when God is indicating it will work out, but
we must wait and then in the waiting we
may have more anxiety because of our lack
of faith and gratitude for special prayers
answered.
Waiting and asking God to help us may make
us anxious while waiting, but God can be
working in our waiting and it gives us
an opportunity to pray for greater faith and to
know His presence with Him.
When we are given an opportunity to wait and
it is great suffering to do so, it can be a great
opportunity to have greater faith and trust in God
and to be close to Him in the trial.
One thing is very certain – God loves us so
much and He will come and fill us and help
us if we pray to Him.
God is in charge. When we are backed
against a wall in a situation and we must
depend on Him – it is then that we receive
that special closeness to Him that we can
be grateful for - to know Him, even in
suffering, to know Him and listen to Him
in the unknown, but to wait on Him – to
wait when it is hard to wait, to endure
when we are experiencing a time when
God is calling us to trust and let go to
Him.
Suffering is suffering and it is hard –
But we can go to Mass and receive the Eucharist
and great grace and this lifts us up –
changes our vision –
helps us to turn to God.
We can go to the tabernacle and ask God
for that special grace we receive there
and it lifts us up and gives us new
vision to see through God's eyes – to know
God's plan – to let go and let God work
in our life –
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my Trust in Thee –
R. God calls us to endure –
The virtue of fortitude helps us to do the
difficult God asks of us –
Justice is a virtue where we give to God
and to others what is their due –
We want to be just and give to God the
love, from us, that is His due –
Holding back what belongs to God is a fool's
game. Why would anyone seek power over
men and materials that belongs to God
to help men with their salvation –
On May 13, 2016 it was the 99th Anniversary
of the First Apparition at Fatima of Mary
to the children.
The Fatima mission and her messages
have really not been obeyed and Mary
said at Fatima if we ignored her there
would be a great war –
World War II came and 66,000,000 persons
died in that war – there was the destruction
of lives, of culture, of families,
horrible events in the holocaust.
It was a World War and the whole
world was effected –
Now with technology we can text and
communicate across the world –
There are weapons that can destroy across
the globe, there is division and anger,
bitterness.
And yet – God is – man wants power –
wants to even show God many times
he is the boss.
We look at the story in the Garden –
It was a story of pride on Eve's
part who went to Adam and
coaxed him to disobey God.
They were so blessed and they needed
to be grateful and obey God, but
because of power and pride Eve
wanted to be equal to God.
God is all Powerful, we are under Him.
Life is so very fragile, we can be snatched
from our seats in a second, an accident,
a sickness.
Hospitals are full of sick people –
We can tell ourselves "oh it won't
happen to me" –
God has called us in the Shepherds of Christ
to help spread this Fatima message.
Fr. Carter would always say Mary said at
Fatima, unless a sufficient number
of people give their hearts to Jesus and Mary
we won't have peace in the world.
God has called us with every Priestly
Newsletter, every book of Fr. Joe's,
all the Blue Books to spread this
devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
God called us. God has a plan for
the Shepherds of Christ. This is the Plan –
to go out and spread this message –
We can be called by God to do this and
say "no" to God.
Here are pictures of the 5th when I went
to Florida and Mary appeared on the
building there.
All 5ths -
Our Lady of Clearwater Florida

R. God can give us signs, God can help us
to know His plan and the devil uses
pride, anger, jealousy, envy to work
in men who give into him to try to block
the plan that God has.
We can see how important the life of
one little child is –
Think of what is happening in the
world and what we are leaving to
our children and grandchildren –
and yet God has told us what to do –
as He did at Fatima.
We must listen to Him –
After Mary appeared on the 5ths for 2 and 1/2
years on December 5, 1996 (Blue Book 13) Jesus
appeared at the point of death and
said no one was listening –
We know at the Transfiguration Jesus
took Peter, James and John up Mt. Tabor
and the voice of the Father was heard,
"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased, Listen to Him."
Jesus appeared transfigured before them –
When Jesus appeared December 5, 1996 on the
cross at the point of death, I cried
and cried.
That night in the rosary Jesus said
no one was listening.
12 days later Our Lady appeared
December 17, 1996 on the building in
Clearwater, Florida.

R. That was 20 years ago big and bold
This Movement exists to help the souls
now –
to tell them to pray the prayers
Fr. Carter received –
all over the earth –
centered in consecration to the Two Hearts
praying for the priests, the
Church and the world.
22 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)
R. There are catastrophes happening all around
us.
What are we waiting for to spread this
message?
Given May 7, 2016
R. Children go to school and they are put in certain
grades by age. Children in grade school read on
a certain level. A child can read on 3rd grade
level or 8th grade level, according to how they
have developed in their reading skills.
We do not really understand what it is to be
full of grace, but every time we say the Hail Mary –
we say – Hail Mary - full of grace. We know Mary
was conceived without sin and we know if and
when we go to heaven we will be full of His life
in us.
John 10: 10
...I have come
so that they may have life
and have it to the full.
R. We know we were created in the image and likeness
of God and when we are born we have original sin.
Baptism takes away original sin, but we still have
tendencies toward sin called concupiscence –
We have a wounded human nature.
I went to school, but my concentration was not
theology. When I began receiving the Blue Books I
was spending a lot of time, daily, at least an hour
before the Blessed Sacrament and attending daily
Mass. I prayed really a lot to the Holy Spirit and
I started writing to God and He began writing
love letters back to me and showing me visions.
I really never knew of such things and hid my
notebooks under my bed – they were used to help me –
I did not share them or tell anyone, but a deep
relationship with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit began to develop.
I always had a great love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and prayed
a lot, but I began to know and love God so deeply
and my life began to change with this knowledge.
Knowing God did not remove the struggles of everyday,
but gave me a way to live in Him that was such
strength. I knew where I never knew before about
God and life and it seemed so clear and so simple.
I waited and God brought to me all I needed
to meet Fr. Carter and to begin this Movement in
1994 after someone gave him Blue Book I to discern.
God did it and I waited. The Movement began and
God continued to give me the directions for the Movement,
the Ministries, the Holy Spirit Novena, the prayers,
the Morning Offerings, Prayer for Union, Prayer
before Mass, Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb,
the Father's Prayer, the Parents and Children's Rosary Book,
the Red Rosary Book, Blue Rosary Book, Nursing Home
Ministry, School Rosary Program, Servants and
Handmaids directions, Tiny Tots and Elderly Program,
etc. It all came, I did not plan it – Under the
direction of my spiritual director, Fr. Carter, we put all
these things out, many in different languages with the
Imprimatur.
I was told to put together the Apostles Manual, Fr. Carter
had me write all these things down. Jesus told me about
the 13ths, Mary called the 5ths and she began appearing
to me July 5, 1994. I did not plan any of this, I was
praying with my children at the old seminary in the
back of Church when Mary appeared to me –
end of excerptExcerpt from the Red Rosary Book
July 5, 1994 6:30 p.m.
R. I was told to go to Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center to pray the rosary with my children. There were people in the front of the church, so we decided to pray the rosary in the back before the Sorrowful Mother statue. I had the following vision at the end of the rosary.
The statue of the Sorrowful Mother was lit up as if she had fire around her. The light was very bright. Her whole gown was all-white, but the statue's gown is blue and pink. She was all aglow. It looked like the glow that comes off of a fire. Her face kept changing but remained totally sorrowful-the sorrow of an older woman. She was in such pain and sorrow! (It was hard to explain how she looked-extremely pained!) Her face looked as though she was in such pain that she could hardly bear it.
The vision remained like this for about ten minutes, having begun during the last Hail Mary of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary. She was holding something-it was all bright white-the brightest light ever!
R. Mary continued to appear to me daily and my
children were there and Fr. Carter said Jesus and Mary
told him to come 5 days after this July 10, 1994.
Mary appeared every day and I had to be there
at 6:30 P.M. Fr. Carter came for at least 4 months.
Then a woman came and taped the oral rosary meditations
I received and messages from Jesus and Mary. She also said she
saw Jesus and Mary and every day she typed up the tapes.
I never asked her to – she just did it.
Mary continued to appear to me for 14 months –
until they told me I could not receive any messages
or say things but Hail Marys and Our Fathers at the
Holy Spirit Center.
The Lady taping me after all this time stole the
tapes and said Fr. Carter and myself were from the devil
and she wouldn't give them up. Finally somehow
we got them and the Red Rosary Book was the product of this.
The Red Rosary Book – had the rainbow on
The Red Rosary Book left the printer, discerned |

Mary appeared |
R. The Parents and Children's Rosary Book was
written from Junior Shepherds of Christ Gatherings
in which I received the meditations orally while
the children prayed – they were taped and transcribed
by Melanie Noe.
They were put in a book with a lot of assistance
Fr. Carter was led to this place to find a center, |
We visited someone who bought a lot nearby
and Fr. Carter looked into it and the Archdiocese
gave us the Church for a $1 for our Ministries.
We have had 24 hour adoration for 12 years
and since 1998 - 18 years – adoration all day
before the Blessed Sacrament.
Fr. Carter found the Morrow Center and we dedicated
it December 8, 1996. Before this the Center was in my house
and the offices there, tapes made etc. 5ths were
once a month in my house.
We began circulating materials right away
after Mary's image appeared in Clearwater, Florida.
On July 5, 1998 we did the first prayer service,
we then began leasing the building in Clearwater and
doing the 5th every month, the Daily Message began,
and daily prayer services.
Fr. Carter died December 18, 2000 and after we celebrated
December 17, 2000 – we closed on the first loan on the
building December 31, 2000.
Fr. Carter began circulating the Priestly Newsletter
on July, 1994 to 75,000 priests and hierarchy – every
priest in the United States and all Bishops and hierarchy
around the world as far as we were able –
he did it every other month –
He advanced to 85,000 Priestly Newsletters every other
month and had them translated in Spanish – he told
me he could reach 80% of the world in English and Spanish.
His goal was to reach as many priests around the
world as possible with the Priestly Newsletter –
We also published 3 books of Fr. Carter's Priestly Newsletters
and sent all the priests in the United States – the Priestly Newsletter
Book II.
R. We sent all Catholic Grade Schools in the United States –
the Parents and Children's Rosary Book with
the Imprimatur. We would supply very cute
rosaries to all grade schools that asked for them.
We have 18 Blue books telling many stories
of our formation –
R. After Fr. Carter's death we circulated his writings,
Priestly Newsletters etc. –
Then a Jesuit's Priestly Newsletter
Then Fr. Pasquini's Priestly Newsletters and
Books we published.
R. Then we began circulating my brother's homilies –
I was encouraged to do so in a letter from
Cardinal George –
R. We have the Audio Department –
the original recordings of the rosaries
received while Fr. Carter was there and he
discerned them.

R. Consecration of Homes to Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
21 Years Ago
May 5, 1995
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.
