Romans 6: 9

We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again.

  

                R. The resurrection teaches us about
                    the love of Jesus —
                    The victory is won — alleluia —
                    Against the darkness in the
                        world today —
                        We see the light of Christ —
   


 
 

                      R. The image of Mary
   

Mary by day

                    R. Jesus comes back from the dead —
                    This is the "Good News"
                    Jesus died
                    Jesus rose
                    Christ will come again
                    Alleluia
                    Jesus lives!!

                We have a calling to spread
                    the Good News —

                People in these trying times
                    need our confidence
                    in the Resurrected Lord —

                Our joy comes from Jesus 

 

    

Death  -  Resurrection

 

                R. God help us to live in the truth —
                Guide us —
                Console us —
                Give us wisdom to know the truth —

                Today's readings
   

Acts 15: 7-21

and after a long discussion, Peter stood up and addressed them. 'My brothers,' he said, 'you know perfectly well that in the early days God made his choice among you: the gentiles were to learn the good news from me and so become believers. And God, who can read everyone's heart, showed his approval of them by giving the Holy Spirit to them just as he had to us. God made no distinction between them and us, since he purified their hearts by faith. Why do you put God to the test now by imposing on the disciples the very burden that neither our ancestors nor we ourselves were strong enough to support? But we believe that we are saved in the same way as they are: through the grace of the Lord Jesus.' The entire assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul describing all the signs and wonders God had worked through them among the gentiles. When they had finished it was James who spoke. 'My brothers,' he said, 'listen to me. Simeon has described how God first arranged to enlist a people for his name out of the gentiles. This is entirely in harmony with the words of the prophets, since the scriptures say: that I shall return and rebuild the fallen hut of David; I shall make good the gaps in it and restore it. Then the rest of humanity, and of all the nations once called mine, will look for the Lord, says the Lord who made this known so long ago. 'My verdict is, then, that instead of making things more difficult for gentiles who turn to God, we should send them a letter telling them merely to abstain from anything polluted by idols, from illicit marriages, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For Moses has always had his preachers in every town and is read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath.'

     

Psalm 96: 1-3, 10

Sing a new song to Yahweh! 
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! 
Sing to Yahweh, bless his name! 

Proclaim his salvation day after day,
declare his glory among the nations,
his marvels to every people!

Say among the nations, 'Yahweh is king.'
The world is set firm, it cannot be moved.
He will judge the nations with justice.

 

John 15: 9-11

I have loved you
just as the Father has loved me.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept
    my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love.
I have told you this
so that my own joy may be in you
and your joy be complete.

  

2 Corinthians 5: 15

his purpose in dying for all humanity was that those who live should live not any more for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life. 

 

Revelation 5: 12

loudly chanting:

    Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed
    to receive power, riches, wisdom,
    strength, honour, glory and blessing.

   

John 15: 12-17

This is my commandment:
love one another,
as I have loved you.
No one can have greater love
than to lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
I shall no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know
the master’s business;
I call you friends,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
so that the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
My command to you
is to love one another.

    

                R. Expressed in the mystery of faith —
                We believe Jesus rose from the
                    dead —

                No one really saw Him rise and
                    yet we believe —
                    we have faith

                Christ will rule forever!!
                Christ's rule is love!!

                The Church is the body of
                    Christ —

                The Church is the Family
                    of God —

                    1) We love God
                    2) We love each other

                We can be closer to Christ than
                    any other person —
                    indwelling of Trinity living
                        in the graced baptized
                        soul

                We are brothers and sisters in
                    Christ

                We are to help each other —

                We in the Church are to witness
                We in the Church are to carry
                    on Christ's work

                We are to try to bring others to Christ —

 

Apostles Creed

    I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

 

                R. We are one in Him
                Jesus we love You —

   

Matthew 5: 3-10

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.  

   

                R. Jesus Christ founded the Church —
                Jesus founded the Church to
                    bring all men to
                    eternal salvation —

                We are to help in this 
 

...‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive?’ Luke 24: 5 
 

                R. Seek Jesus where He is
                    to be found.

  

Prayer of St Ignatius

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the wicked foe defend me
at the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever. Amen.

  

Prayer from St. Ignatius

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing
                    that I am doing your will.
 

Sing: Take Lord Receive

21.                     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

  

From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
    by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. 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.

 

 

John 10: 11-15

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.
The hired man,
   since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
   and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
   and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
   because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.

                R. We worry about
                    saving turtles —
                    going green —

                What about our priests?
                What about our children and going to Mass?

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. 17 Years Ago
              On May 31, 1994
                  Jesus told Fr. Carter to begin
                  the Priestly Newsletter

    

 

                R. Do you know what it is to not have the
                availability of priests —

                    To have Mass and then have to go so far or
                not be able to go at all —

                    The dark days — no Mass we can get to — very
                close —

                    We have taken the gift of the priest and the
                Mass for granted

                Oh my God - forgive our ingratitude —

                The Apostles discussed the issues
                    about when Gentiles were converted —

                Paul and Barnabas, James discussed
                the issues —
                Much debate took place —
                Peter got up and spoke —

                We believe we are saved by the grace
                    of the Lord Jesus —

                Paul and Barnabas discussed it —
                James then spoke —

 

Acts 15: 22-31

Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose delegates from among themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas, known as Barsabbas, and Silas, both leading men in the brotherhood, and gave them this letter to take with them: 'The apostles and elders, your brothers, send greetings to the brothers of gentile birth in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia. We hear that some people coming from here, but acting without any authority from ourselves, have disturbed you with their demands and have unsettled your minds; and so we have decided unanimously to elect delegates and to send them to you with our well-beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have committed their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accordingly we are sending you Judas and Silas, who will confirm by word of mouth what we have written. It has been decided by the Holy Spirit and by ourselves not to impose on you any burden beyond these essentials: you are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from illicit marriages. Avoid these, and you will do what is right. Farewell.' The party left and went down to Antioch, where they summoned the whole community and delivered the letter. The community read it and were delighted with the encouragement it gave them.

  

                R. Thank You God for the priest and the Church
                Oh can we not pray these prayers - Jesus
                    gave Fr. Carter to pray?

                Can we not spread the prayer chapters
                    on the earth —

                Yesterday we heard the parable of the
                    vine and the branches —

                Jesus gives us a sequel to look at the
                    truth —   
                    He talks about the love of the Father —
                    The love of Jesus has come to the
                        Apostles —
                    Purpose of all this is joy —

                Unity of knowing God's love for us —
                    Oh Lord keep us united to You —

                We offer ourselves, oh Father —
                We love You so much —
                Oh God help us to know Your love —
                Oh God Your love is real —
                Oh God You love us so to give us
                    the Mass, the priest,
                    the Church —
                Oh God I love You —

                Jesus gives us Himself in the Mass —
                What love is this —
                Let us pray for this —
                That men appreciate the Mass —

                Let us begin these prayer chapters
                    as Jesus told us —

                Oh God help us

                Jesus: Oh I am the Light of the World —
                    I give to you Myself —
                    Open up now that I can come to you —
                    Open wide —
                    I want to love you —
                    Open your heart —
                    Don't close down —
                    I am love —
                    I am God —
                    Open wide your gates

                R. I don't know how to love Him —
                    Jesus says to let go —
                    Be silent —
                    Open wide —
                    Put distractions from our minds —
                    Focus on that place —
                    The place, I know in my graced
                        baptized soul —
                    Where I know His presence
                        in me —
                    Presence —
                    Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling in me —

                    I can be closer to God with this
                        indwelling more than any human
                        person —

                    God dwelling in me —
                    Silence —
                    Presence —
                    The reality of God in me —
                    I am filled more and more with His
                        life — His grace —
                    I love You God —
                    I want You in me —

 

Prayer for Union with Jesus - Sing It —

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. (refrain)

   

                Song: A Priest is a Gift from God

                Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

                R. Fr. Carter tried to spread the prayer
                    chapters —

                Spreading the Priestly Mailing and
                    the Prayer Chapters is the
                    main purpose of the Shepherds of Christ —

                Jesus asked me to have the next cycle
                    of Fr. Joe's homilies, cycle B
                    for next year — printed in the
                    next month —

                We are working on this as Jesus asked —

                Please pray for Fr. Joe
                Please pray for those who put together
                    and print this book —

                Jesus wants us reaching the priest
                    with this weekly gift —

                It is so important we try to get it
                    out there early — so they get the
                    book before the next cycle starts —

                We were able to send the cycle A book
                    to only 22,000 priests in the
                    United States because of the cost of postage —

                Here are the guidelines Jesus gave
                    Fr. Carter from the Spirituality Handbook —

 

Excerpt from the Spirituality Handbook by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

        2

Chapter Guidelines for Shepherds of Christ Associates

  1. A primary purpose of the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates is to pray for all priests throughout the world in all their needs. A coequal purpose is to provide a spiritual way of life for members of the chapters. The chapters are to pray in a special way for the spiritual success of the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. Prayer for the acquisition of monetary funds to publish the letter is also in order. The chapters are to meet on a regular basis, with the members of each chapter to determine the exact frequency of meetings. All chapters are encouraged to meet on a weekly basis. If for various other reasons certain chapters cannot meet weekly, they should meet at least once a month.
      

  2. All persons--lay persons, diocesan clergy, and priests, brothers, and sisters in religious life--are invited to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. Those who are already committed to a certain way of spiritual life may adapt the spirituality of Shepherds of Christ Associates to their own particular spirituality.
      

  3. In addition to the purpose of the chapters as put forth above, the members of each chapter are encouraged to help raise money to defray some of the newsletter publication costs and some of the financial needs of the Shepherds of Christ Associates movement. One way for chapters to financially aid the newsletter is to pledge to pay for a certain number of newsletters each year. Our Lord has asked that the newsletter be sent to the priests free of charge, although donations may be requested in the newsletter itself.
     

  4. A further purpose of the chapters is to undertake those activities which Jesus, through the Spiritual Director, further reveals to be His will.
     

  5. The formation of as many chapters as is reasonably possible is to be encouraged. Multiple chapters may exist in the same city or area. Each chapter is to have its own local coordinator, and each country its own national coordinator.
     

  6. A periodic newsletter for associates will be published to help establish the desired bond or union between all chapters and all members.
     

  7. Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates pledge their loyal support to the Holy Father, the Pope, and to the teaching authority of the Church.
     

  8. Shepherds of Christ Associates exists under Church law as provided in canons 298 and 299.
     

  9. The existence and activity of all chapters is to be placed under the special protection and guidance of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Chapters exist so that they may, according to the mission of Shepherds of Christ Associates, help to establish the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. All chapter members are strongly encouraged to consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

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.

- 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. The prayer chapters were to pray for the
                    priests, the Church and the world and
                    pray for this mailing —

                The prayer chapter leaders were to be
                    contacted by us, by phone —

                The prayer chapter leaders were to
                    keep this network of communication —
                    praying fervently themselves for
                    their prayer chapters —
                    encouraging adoration —
                    consecrating their families, churches
                        and schools to the Sacred Heart
                        and Immaculate Heart

                This was the message Jesus gave
                    Fr. Carter in 1994 —

                The priestly mailing was to reach all
                    priests in the United States —

                The prayer chapters were to collect
                    donations to pray for this mailing —

                Also per Mary's message at Fatima and
                    to me — we were to spread these
                    writings to all the Bishops in
                    the world — to spread the devotion
                    to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate
                    Heart as Mary asked for at Fatima —

                    We got the Mass Book to the A's of
                the Bishops around the world —
                Jesus reminded me of this message
                2 days ago —
                To spread the 10,000 Mass Books printed
                to the Bishops around the world —

 

First Friday - December 6, 1996

Jesus: I am calling you as a family. You will be joined in one heart, acting as My Heart beating in this world. All the apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are joined in one Heart.

am_p180.gif (44585 bytes)

R. The core leaders will contact the coordinators. The coordinators will contact the individual apostles. All are apostles with a job directed by Jesus to do. Her peace plan was given at Fatima:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.

  3. We must observe the Five First Saturday devotion:
    - Communion, confession (within 8 days before or after the Saturday), recital of the rosary, meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary. All this is to be done in spirit of reparation.

  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

His plan centers around this.

We have heads functioning in the individual ministries. Everything we do leads to consecration of hearts. As the apostles press on the three institutions, the Church, family, and school to help spread the consecration, the strayed ones will be led home to His Heart.

Mary said at Fatima until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

The present condition of the world

am_p182.gif (16895 bytes)

Peace will come when hearts are hearts of love. The scales must shift. It will happen through the consecration. Mary's peace plan: until a sufficient amount of people consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace.

The Father looks to the earth; He sees much darkness.

Image3.gif (1823 bytes)

The Father looks to the earth. There are few hearts fervently in love with God. The hearts of love light up the earth. It is as lights on a Christmas tree. It is sparsely lighted by a few hearts. Therefore, the tree looks dark.

Image4.gif (2641 bytes)

As the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads (as well as other movements focused on spreading consecration to Their Hearts) the tree is covered with more hearts and the earth becomes more lighted.

The tree is covered with hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The tree is illuminated.

As the Shepherds of Christ apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family, and the school, the tree is covered with lights and the earth is covered with the fire of His love.

The Father looks to the earth now. He is displeased with the hearts of men. The Father wants us to love God and love each other. He wants us to live according to His will in love.

Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God. She tells us what we must do. Mary's peace plan:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.

  3. We must observe the First Saturday devotion.

  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Mary said there will be an era of peace, no matter what we do, in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

Man disobeys, the devil blocks the Fatima message. World War II happens just as Mary said.

Mary appeared to me for 14 months daily. She gives us the same message as Fatima. Jesus and Mary give us God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He writes His message of love on our hearts. His life lives in our hearts. The Scripture and the Mass live in our hearts.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, our focus is on the priest.

Excerpt from November 4, 2001

Jesus speaks:  To those who pray My prayers I
                        promise the following special
                        graces:

                                 - A deeper understanding of the 
                                     Divine Mysteries through fervent
                                     recitation of the litanies.

                                 - I promise a deeper love in your heart
                                     for your God and a deeper love
                                     for your fellowmen.

                                 - Those who pray the prayers fervently
                                    will experience a deep union 
                                    in My Heart and My Mother's heart,
                                    they will be given special insights
                                    into My unfathomable love for men
                                    and experience a thirsting within
                                    themselves to want to help souls
                                    through intercessory prayer and sacrifices.

                                 - They will have a deeper love of the Mass
                                    through this deeper consecration.
                                    [consecration to Their Hearts]

                                 - They will know Me more intimately.

                                 - They will want to live their lives to 
                                    help save souls.

                                 - They will have a deeper love for the priests shepherds.
                                 - They will have a deeper love and dedication
                                    to the Church. (I founded)

                                 - They will want peace on the earth.
                                 - They will want peace in their own hearts.

                                 - You will experience a fearlessness the more
                                    you pray the Holy Spirit Novena prayers
                                    given to you.

                                 - As you meditate on the scriptures you will
                                    understand more fully the plan of
                                    the Father to lead the souls into the
                                    great Reign of My Sacred Heart.

                                 - You and all who pray the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers will be
                                    united in a deep oneness with each other
                                    and the souls of the earth.

                                 - The more you pray these prayers (both sets)
                                    you will live in the truth as you
                                    dwell in Our Hearts.

                                  - You will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit.

                                  - You and your family will be protected by
                                    My Precious Blood and your families
                                    will receive special protection
                                    against satan from fervent recitation
                                    of the prayers. (the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers)

                                 - I promise to take you and the members of
                                    your family in a special way
                                    into My Sacred Heart. I will lavish
                                    you in the fires of My love.

                                 - The priests and the people of the Church and the world
                                    will receive special graces from the fervent
                                    recitation of these prayers. (both sets)

                                 - I will unite My people in a deeper love
                                    from the graces granted from
                                    fervent recitation of these prayers.

                                 - I give these prayers from My image site
                                    in Florida.
                                   I appear there daily as the Sacred Heart.
                                   Some see Me, some do not, but there
                                    is a special presence there.
                                   My Mother appears there for her children.

                                 - In the five years of her apparitions many
                                    souls who have come have been
                                    given special graces of conversion.
                                    Many have been given grace to lead
                                    them into a deeper love union with
                                    God and the Blessed Virgin.

                                 - The image site in Florida has touched
                                    the world.

                                 - I outpour great grace to those who come
                                    to the site.

                                 - There are tremendous graces of healing
                                    granted to all who come.

                                 - People who come rarely leave unchanged.
                                 - The grace granted works in their lives and in
                                    their hearts, long after they have gone.

                                 - A reminder of their visit only need be given
                                    and they experience a memory of
                                    that moment.

                            I ask you to circulate the prayers I have
                                given, the Shepherds of Christ Prayers 
                                and the Holy Spirit Novena prayers.

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.

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

        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!

                R. Please help us spread
                    Fr. Joe's homilies

                    This is our Priestly mailing
                We need prayers for all involved —
                We need funds in the next 2 weeks


                The victory is won —

                Jesus gives us the priest
                The priest is a gift from God.

                In Cincinnati we have lots of Masses,
                    but vocations are less and priests
                    are getting older and older, many of them —

                    Here is the old seminary where our Cincinnati
                priests attended —

 

 

                R. Mary appeared every day to me
                It was July 5, 1994 - September 5, 1995

                It used to be Mount St. Mary's seminary

                When it was a seminary it was
                    packed

                On March 22, 1994 the corner fell
                    off in minutes on Lucia
                    (the main Fatima's visionary's)
                    birthday

 


 

 

       

   

                R. A Priest is a gift from God —
 

 

 

                R. On December 17, 1996
                    Mary's image appeared like this
                        on the building
   


 

                R. We began spreading prayer
                    chapters — praying for the
                    priests, the Church and the world —
                    from that site in
                    Clearwater, Florida

                We leased the building July 5, 1998 —

                God gives us grace to do what He
                    asks us to do —

                I remember the story of the Plagues
                    and the Pharaoh —

                After all the plagues and the loss
                    of his first born by the
                    angel of death —

                It says in the scripture

   

Exodus 14: 8, 15-18, 21-27

Yahweh made Pharaoh king of Egypt stubborn, and he gave chase to the Israelites.

The miracle of the sea

Yahweh then said to Moses, ‘Why cry out to me? Tell the Israelites to march on. Your part is to raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites can walk through the sea on dry ground, while I, for my part, shall make the Egyptians so stubborn that they will follow them, and I shall win glory for myself at the expense of Pharaoh and all his army, chariots and horsemen. And when I have won glory for myself at the expense of Pharaoh and his chariots and horsemen, the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh.’

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh drove the sea back with a strong easterly wind all night and made the sea into dry land. The waters were divided and the Israelites went on dry ground right through the sea, with walls of water to right and left of them. The Egyptians gave chase, and all Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea after them. In the morning watch, Yahweh looked down on the army of the Egyptians from the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the Egyptian army into confusion. He so clogged their chariot wheels that they drove on only with difficulty, which made the Egyptians say, ‘Let us flee from Israel, for Yahweh is fighting on their side against the Egyptians!’ Then Yahweh said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand over the sea and let the waters flow back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.’ Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and, as day broke, the sea returned to its bed. The fleeing Egyptians ran straight into it, and Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.

   

                R. He plunged in the Red Sea
                    in obstinacy and was covered
                    by the waters —

                He tested God and
                God made him obstinate —

 

Exodus 1: 1-6, 17-18 

These are the names of the Israelites who went with Jacob to Egypt, each of them went with his family: Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah, Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin, Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. In all, the descendants of Jacob numbered seventy persons. Joseph was in Egypt already. Then Joseph died, and his brothers, and all that generation.

But the midwives were God-fearing women and did not obey the orders of the king of Egypt, but allowed the boys to live. So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, 'What do you mean by allowing the boys to live?'

   

                R. Abraham had such faith —
                    He was willing to sacrifice
                    His only son as God asked —

                Abraham was blessed —
                Because of his faith - he would
                    have descendants as numerous
                    as the stars of the sky —

                God gave us the light —
                He gave us the world
                God created the world —
                God made us in His image and likeness
                Adam and Eve sinned —

                God gives us the priest
                God gives us the Mass

                God gave us this message from
                    Fr. Carter


                Our children, grandchildren,
                    need the priests, the Church


                This message is 17 years old from
                    a holy Jesuit priest

 

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.

                Sing: Come to the Water!!

   

Baruch 3: 9-15, 32

Listen, Israel, to commands
    that bring life;
hear, and learn what knowledge means.
Why, Israel, why are you in the country
    of your enemies,
growing older and older in an alien land,
defiling yourselves with the dead,
reckoned with those who go to Sheol?
It is because you have forsaken
    the fountain of wisdom!
Had you walked in the way of God,
you would be living in peace for ever.
Learn where knowledge is,
    where strength,
where understanding, and so learn
where length of days is, where life,
where the light of the eyes
    and where peace.

But who has found out where she lives,
who has entered her treasure house?

But the One who knows all discovers her,
he has grasped her with his own intellect,
he has set the earth firm for evermore
and filled it with four-footed beasts,

 

Baruch 4: 4

Israel, blessed are we:
what pleases God has been revealed to us!

 

Ezekiel 36: 16-28

    The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows, ‘Son of man, the members of the House of Israel used to live in their own territory, but they defiled it by their conduct and actions; to me their conduct was as unclean as a woman’s menstruation. I then vented my fury on them because of the blood they shed in the country and the foul idols with which they defiled it. I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed throughout the countries. I sentenced them as their conduct and actions deserved. They have profaned my holy name among the nations where they have gone, so that people say of them, "These are the people of Yahweh; they have been exiled from his land." But I have been concerned about my holy name, which the House of Israel has profaned among the nations where they have gone. And so, say to the House of Israel, "The Lord Yahweh says this: I am acting not for your sake, House of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I am going to display the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am Yahweh–declares the Lord Yahweh–when in you I display my holiness before their eyes. For I shall take you from among the nations and gather you back from all the countries, and bring you home to your own country. I shall pour clean water over you and you will be cleansed; I shall cleanse you of all your filth and of all your foul idols. I shall give you a new heart, and put a new spirit in you; I shall remove the heart of stone from your bodies and give you a heart of flesh instead. I shall put my spirit in you, and make you keep my laws, and respect and practise my judgements. You will live in the country which I gave your ancestors. You will be my people and I shall be your God.

 

Isaiah 12: 2-3, 4, 5-6

Look, he is the God of my salvation:
I shall have faith and not be afraid,
for Yahweh is my strength and my song,
he has been my salvation.’

Joyfully you will draw water
from the springs of salvation
and, that day, you will say,
‘Praise Yahweh, invoke his name.
Proclaim his deeds to the people,
declare his name sublime.
Sing of Yahweh,
   for his works are majestic,
make them known throughout the world.
Cry and shout for joy,
   you who live in Zion,
For the Holy One of Israel
    is among you in his greatness.’
  

 

Romans 6: 3-11

You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his: realising that our former self was crucified with him, so that the self which belonged to sin should be destroyed and we should be freed from the slavery of sin. Someone who has died, of course, no longer has to answer for sin.

But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. For by dying, he is dead to sin once and for all, and now the life that he lives is life with God. In the same way, you must see yourselves as being dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.

 

Matthew 28: 1-10

After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre. And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow. The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men. But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, ‘There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay, then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him." Look! I have told you.’ Filled with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples.

And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. ‘Greetings,’ he said. And the women came up to him and, clasping his feet, they did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see me.’

   

                R. This is reality —

                In all the troubles in the world —
                    God has given us these signs
                    God has given us this Movement
                        to pray for the priests,
                        the Church and the world —

                Let's Listen to God
                Let's Do what He said

 

 

 

 

Easter

March 23, 2008

HOMILY: (Acts 10: 34a, 37-43, Colossians 3: 1-4, John 20: 1-9) Children say the darndest things. When a family with a small child showed up at church on Easter Sunday, the little child wondered why all the decorations and flowers. His mother explained that we were celebrating Jesus’ resurrection after he died on the cross. The child exclaimed “Jesus died!? Jesus died!? When did that happen? Why didn’t you tell me?” (They must have missed Mass on Palm Sunday). At an Easter Sunday Mass in church, a mother heard her five-year-old daughter singing joyfully “lasagna in the highest!”

A father told about his little four-year-old’s excitement over what the Easter bunny would bring on Easter. The father asked if his son knew what Easter was really about. The very bright little boy answered: “Jesus died on the cross, so we can live with him in heaven some day.” Then he added: “But I don’t want to die.” The father said, everyone has to die sometime, but we hope it will not be for a long time.” The boy replied: “okay, but if there’s no TV in heaven, I’m leaving.”

Last year at this time James Cameron, director of the movie Titanic, produced a program for the Discovery Channel entitled The Lost Tomb of Jesus. It seems that in 1980 there were several first century caskets or boneboxes found in a tomb outside of Jerusalem and one of them had the inscription on it: Jesus son of Joseph. The dead person’s bones were still in the casket. From other bits of information connected with this particular casket, Mr. Cameron concluded that he had discovered Jesus’ body and he modestly proclaimed this was the “greatest archaeological find of all time.” Like the famous ship in his movie Titanic, it wasn’t long before Mr. Cameron’s boast about the “greatest archaeological find of all time” ran into an iceberg and began to sink. Expert archaeologists from around the world who had examined the casket and the tomb cast strong doubt on the socalled discovery of Jesus’ dead body and the sensation created by the program began to fade.

All through the centuries people have tried to explain away the resurrection of Jesus, beginning with the Roman soldiers who were sent to guard the tomb and who claimed they fell asleep while they were on guard and the apostles came and stole Jesus’ body. Any one can easily see the contradiction in this. The resurrection of Jesus is a matter of faith, for no one witnessed it, except perhaps the Roman guards who were paid to tell a different story.

My faith in the resurrection has been a great source of strength and comfort for me. However, I do not believe simply because that faith brings me comfort. My faith rests on two pieces of solid evidence: first, an empty tomb over which Constantine built the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 335 A.D. and which has been and still is venerated as the tomb of Jesus right from the beginning. And secondly, the testimony of Jesus’ followers who had nothing to gain from proclaiming Jesus’ resurrection except their own martyrdom. They would never have had the courage to preach about Jesus and the world would never have heard of him if Jesus hadn’t risen and appeared to them many times and if the Holy Spirit hadn’t come to them.

Our belief too, as St. Paul tells us, is not only that Jesus rose from the dead to live in eternal glory, but it is a glory we hope to share with him some day. No matter how powerful and final is the force of death, because of Jesus’ resurrection, we Christians believe that life has the final word – not death and it is life eternal. This is why St. Paul tells us to “think of what is above, not what is on earth.” Of course we have to provide for our everyday needs and, in love, provide for the needs of our brothers and sisters in this world, but we have to avoid living only for this world. Our Mass each week helps to stay focused on what Jesus did for us and what is ahead for us if we remain faithful to him.

Please make the Mass something more than a once or twice a year event. So much happens in our busy lives that we need to be guided weekly, if not more often, with the word of God and nourished with the body and blood of Christ who died and rose for us. Amen.

PRAYER MANUAL

Chapter Meeting Prayer Format

The prayer format below should be followed at chapter meetings of Shepherds of Christ Associates. All prayers, not just those said specifically for priests, should include the intention of praying for all the needs of priests the world over.

1. Hymns. Hymns may be sung at any point of the prayer part of the meeting.

2. Holy Spirit Prayer. Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

3. The Rosary.

4. Salve Regina. "Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, our mourning, our weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary."

5. The Memorare. "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen."

6. Seven Hail Marys in honor of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. Mary has promised very special graces to those who do this on a daily basis.

(1) The first sorrow: the prophecy of Simeon (Hail Mary).

(3) The third sorrow: the loss of the Child Jesus in the temple (Hail Mary).

(4) The fourth sorrow: Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross (Hail Mary).

Amen."

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

15. Pause for silent, personal prayer. This should last at least five minutes.

You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

17. Daily Prayers. All members should say the Holy Spirit prayer daily and make the act of consecration daily. They should also pray the rosary each day. They are encouraged to use the other above prayers as time allows.

Amen (Papież Jan XXIII)

Aniele Boży, Strσżu mσj drogi, mnie, Tobie z dobroci Bożej zleconego, oświecaj, strzeż, prowadź i rządź mną i zawsze przy mnie bądź. Amen.
 

15. Przerwa na cichą, osobistą modlitwę. Powinna trwać przynajmniej pięć minut. 

16. Akt oddania Najświętszemu Sercu Pana Jezusa i Niepokalanemu Sercu Maryi

Panie Jezu, Krσlu Pasterzy, oddaję się Twemu Najświętszemu Sercu. Z przebitego Serca Twego narodził się Kościσł, ktσremu nakazałeś mi służyć jako członkowi Wspσlnoty Pasterzy Chrystusa w najszczegσlniejszy sposσb. Ukazujesz Swe Serce jako symbol Swojej miłości we wszelkich jej przejawach, wraz z Twoją szczegσlną miłością do mnie, ktσrego wybrałeś jako Swego towarzysza w tym ważnym zadaniu. Pomσż mi zawsze odpłacać Ci za to miłością. Pomσż mi całkowicie oddać się Tobie. Pomσż mi przeżyć życie w miłości Bożej i miłości bliźniego. Serce Jezusa, w Tobie pokładam nadzieję! 

Najświętsza Maryjo Dziewico, oddaję się twemu matczynemu i Niepokalanemu Sercu, Sercu, ktσre stanowi symbol twego życia w miłości. Ty jesteś Matką mego Zbawiciela. Jesteś też Matką moją. Obdarzasz mnie swoją szczegσlną miłością jako członka Wspσlnoty Pasterzy Chrystusa, ruchu, ktσry stworzył Twσj Syn jako potężne narzędzie odnowy Kościoła i świata. W zamian za miłość, oddaję się całkowicie Twojej matczynej miłości i opiece. Ty najdoskonalej podążałaś za Jezusem. Ty jesteś Jego pierwszym i doskonałym uczniem. Naucz mnie jak naśladować Ciebie w podążaniu za Nim. Bądź mi matczyną orędowniczką, abym za pośrednictwem Twego Niepokalanego Serca dał się poprowadzić do jeszcze bliższej jedności z przebitym Sercem Jezusa, Krσlem Pasterzy. 

17. Codzienna modlitwa. Wszyscy członkowie codziennie powinni odmawiać modlitwę do Ducha  Świętego oraz dokonać aktu oddania. Powinni rσwnież codziennie odmawiać rσżaniec. Jeśli pozwala na to czas, zachęcamy także do odmawiania innych wyżej podanych modlitw.

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light.

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity.

Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) — Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
