R. Dear Member, Donor, Friend and Priest,

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.

The Priestly Newsletter is Fr Joe's Homily Book.

It is like a Priestly Newsletter all over the US to all US priests weekly.

We have sent Fr. Joe's book to most of the US Priests.
We have 8 states almost done then we are out of Books.
This book has the prayers - Shepherds of Christ Prayers Fr. Carter received with the Litany to Mary and Jesus, the seven sorrows, the promises to St. Margaret Mary, the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Mary said at Fatima the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph, but she said we won't have peace in the world until we spread this consecration.
Fr. Carter said he felt that meant 50% were focused on Jesus and recognizing Mary as their Mother.
We have sent over 30,000 of Fr. Joe's Books all over the world.
Mary said at Fatima that Bishops need to consecrate their diocese to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart to have peace in the world.
We send these prayers to all priests in the US to begin Prayer Chapters all over the US.
To get things straightened out we have to pray.
Jesus told Fr. Carter to pray these prayers.
We send these prayers with every book we send to all the priests and if they pray them we are praying for the priests, the Church and the world.
We need to pray.
This book focuses on the bread of life - the Word and the Eucharist.

The answer is prayer.
The answer is love, thus Mary says spread this devotion to the 2 greatest Hearts of love.

Only becoming more and more like Jesus is the answer - Christic.
The Church, the world and the individual Christian becoming more and more like Jesus,

We need $8,200 to print 10,000 more books.
We have at least 3,500 priests in the US we have not reached and 6 months left to this cycle.

This is the major thing of the Shepherds of Christ
1) the Priestly Newsletter
2) the Prayer Chapters

Also I have been able to put 2 letters with the focus of Eucharist and Life in this book - our mission.

Please pray we get this money right away.
We need to get the books to the remaining states.

Read the letters front and back and look at the book and think we are helping the US as Jesus told Fr. Carter spreading this weekly Newsletter and the prayers to the priests.

Please help us and pray for this intention.

Shelia and Jerry mailed 4 states today.

Thanks Love Rita

                R. How much of our lives are lived
                in Red Tape and as we go slowly into
                more and more assurances, insurances,
                protecting us from terror, germs, disease,
                how our whole lives can be in fear and
                protection, being sure, nothing will
                happen and then how much time is
                spent in actually living – is there
                time left? time left to enjoy? to just
                be – to enjoy life.

Satan is disorder
Satan is commotion

                    Satan wants us to always be
                        worked up, fearful, dark –
                        opposing God's will –

                    Satan wants us to see our
                        neighbors as enemies –
                        not unity, but division –
                        competition, suspicion – don't trust anybody.

                In the Reign of the Sacred Heart there will
                    be obedience to the will of God –
                    unity, love, peace –

We want God to bless us, help us –

                When we oppose God's will –
                    there are consequences –
                    we do the opposite of
                    what God wants and there
                    are consequences –

From disobeying God we work toward
our own self - destruction –

                We see the Holocaust – Mary warned
                    at Fatima, she showed the children
                    hell – she said if we don't obey
                    her there would be World War II.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

    "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⁾

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.

R. And we see the horrendous mass murders
of the Holocaust –

                All through salvation history, we see
                    how men disobeyed God and what
                    happened.

                Adam and Eve disobeyed God and we have
                    original sin, our human nature
                    wounded –

God tells us in the scriptures to pray for
our ancestors –

We see the disobedience at the time of Jeremiah.

Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Jeremiah 23: 1-6

‘Disaster for the shepherds who lose and scatter the sheep of my pasture, Yahweh declares. This, therefore, is what Yahweh, God of Israel, says about the shepherds who shepherd my people, "You have scattered my flock, you have driven them away and have not taken care of them. Right, I shall take care of you for your misdeeds, Yahweh declares! But the remnant of my flock I myself shall gather from all the countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; they will be fruitful and increase in numbers. For them I shall raise up shepherds to shepherd them and pasture them. No fear, no terror for them any more; not one shall be lost, Yahweh declares!


   Look, the days are coming,
      Yahweh declares,
   when I shall raise an upright Branch
      for David;
   he will reign as king and be wise,
   doing what is just and upright
      in the country.In his days Judah will triumph
   and Israel live in safety.
And this is the name he will be called,
‘Yahweh–is–our–Saving–Justice.’ "

Ephesians 2: 13-18

But now in Christ Jesus, you that used to be so far off have been brought close, by the blood of Christ. For he is the peace between us, and has made the two into one entity and broken down the barrier which used to keep them apart, by destroying in his own person the hostility, that is, the Law of commandments with its decrees. His purpose in this was, by restoring peace, to create a single New Man out of the two of them, and through the cross, to reconcile them both to God in one Body; in his own person he killed the hostility. He came to bring the good news of peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. Through him, then, we both in the one Spirit have free access to the Father.

Mark 6: 30-34

The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught. And he said to them, ‘Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while’; for there were so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat. So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But people saw them going, and many recognised them; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.

Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

July 19, 2009

HOMILY: There was a man who worked in a museum whose job it was to explain the different exhibits. On one occasion he pointed to the bones of a dinosaur saying the bones were 100 million and 9 years old. Someone asked how they could date those bones so accurately. He said “well, when I started working here, I was told these bones were 100 million years old and I’ve worked here for nine years.”

Today I want to give everyone a little history lesson. I’m not going back to the dinosaurs, but I am going back pretty far – to King David, 1000 years before Christ. When I was in school, I hated history. It wasn’t until we studied the history of the Old Testament in the seminary that I began to appreciate it. I cannot cram 1000 years of history into a couple of minutes. I just want to touch on the parts of Jewish history that are mentioned in today’s reading. If you want to learn more, read everything in the Old Testament, but be sure you have a commentary to help you. Otherwise, you’ll give up in despair because you won’t know what it’s all about - especially the prophets and the historical books.

When David was king 1000 years before Christ, David wanted to build a house for God, since there was no Temple for God at that time. God did not give David permission to do so, however God promised David through the prophet Nathan that he would bless him and build David a house in the sense that David’s kingdom would continue forever and one of his descendants would always rule. This blessing lasted through the reign of David’s son, Solomon; but we humans somehow have the ability to sabotage God’s blessings. Solomon turned to pagan gods and over-extended the country financially by elaborate building projects and exorbitant taxes, so when Solomon died there was a rebellion and most of Israel broke away from Solomon’s successor, David’s grandson, Rehoboam. Rehoboam continued to rule over the southern part of Israel, the area we know as Judaea . For 400 years (and this is amazing) the kings of Judaea were descendants of King David. The northern kingdom that rebelled against David’s successors suffered under a succession of kings and rebellions. In less than 300 years the northern kingdom was destroyed by the Assyrians, people from northern Iraq. About 100 years after that, the Babylonians from southern Iraq conquered the Assyrians and took control of the entire Middle East. The conquest of the Babylonians brings us up to Jeremiah whom we heard in today’s first reading. At the time of Jeremiah, here was the situation: the northern kingdom no longer existed. The southern kingdom, Judaea, was still being ruled by David’s descendants but they were not loyal to God or to God’s laws. Jeremiah spoke to these kings as they came into power, the last four being: Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoikin and Zedekiah. Zedikiah, the last reigning king, died in disgrace. After the Babylonians captured him, his sons were slaughtered before his eyes, he was then blinded and led off to Babylon in chains where he presumably died. You can read how Jeremiah spoke with them in great detail in the book of Jeremiah. He told them exactly what they needed to do to survive the invading forces of Babylon. His messages were ignored. He blames them and their leadership for the destruction that came upon God’s people. As we heard in today’s first reading, God speaks through Jeremiah: “Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture.” God said he would take over shepherding his people; he would bring them back from exile; he would appoint leaders over them who would serve them well and lead them to peace and security. It took 600 years before God thought the world was ready for this king who would reign and govern wisely, who would do what is just and right in the land.

But then he came, through the announcement of an angel to a virgin who was engaged to a man named Joseph of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel said to her “Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”

In last week’s gospel, Jesus sent his apostles out to heal and cast out demons and to call people to repentance. In today’s gospel we are told of their return, excited over their experience and tired. Jesus wanted to some time off, but he couldn’t. The mission of Jesus and his apostles apparently was so successful that a great crowd caught up with them before they had chance to catch their breath. Mark describes Jesus taking compassion on them (his heart was moved with deep sympathy for them would probably be a better translation). He saw them as sheep without a shepherd, - people without leadership, and he began to teach them.

One of the important messages in today’s readings is that in love our Lord leads us, by teaching us and appointing others to teach us. But we need to listen, and we need to keep on listening. We’ll never be finished listening and learning as long as our world suffers from injustice, poverty, hunger, discrimination, war, hatred and killing of innocent people. Christ would be put to death before he would stop teaching. It is to our own great loss when we stop listening. That’s one of the reasons we are here each weekend, to listen and to learn. We call ourselves disciples. The word disciple means learner. When we’ve quit learning, we’ve quit being a disciple.

R. We see how King Saul disobeyed God
and we see the outcome.

R. The Jews disobeyed God and the Philistines
were attacking them –

                We see that God let the Hebrews
                    wander the desert for 40 years –
                    they needed to obey God –

When we obey God we are blessed –

                When we disobey God we keep making
                    our own problems, division,
                    disorder, chaos

Look at what has happened since we
disobeyed the Fatima message –

Mary has appeared to me 19 years as
of July 5, 2013.

We have been in the Virgin Mary
building 15 years as of July 5, 2013.

                Mary has asked for two prayer services
                    that day in reparation, one at
                    1:30, another at 6:20 –

                Anyone who cannot go to Clearwater
                    Jesus asks to go to China, Indiana
                    before the exposed Eucharist.

                I have been instructed to publish
                    the Blue Book for 1996 –
                    this is the year Mary appeared at Clearwater.
                    Also the Parents and Children's Rosary Book
                        was asked to be published
                        with Blue Book 10. It is mostly
                        from January through March, 1996.

Mary gave me this message
May 19, 2013.

                Excerpt from May 19, 2103

                Mary: My Son Jesus was whipped at the pillar
                    for the sins today – for the
                    disobedience to the commandments –

                If you continue to ignore the messages
                    you will suffer more and more as
                    those misusing power will do
                    greater work for satan –

                The more satan gets a hold – the more
                    you will suffer in this world –

                The power comes from God –

                ...The more that men abuse the power
                    of leadership, the worse it will
                    get –

                end of excerpt

May 25, 2013 continues

                R. When power is misused - men do this
                    many times to break existing laws.
                    When just laws are replaced
                    with disorder, opposition to
                    what God wants, it must be
                    done through force to replace
                    laws opposed to God's will.

The devil wants souls for hell –

                He aims at the jugular vein
                    Mary said a few days ago.
