Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately.

Excerpt from May 21, 2001 Daily Message
Messenger: I see myself in
the arms of my Father as a
child. I know He is a Spirit, but He
told me He wants me to see myself as
a little child on His lap.
This picture helps me to see myself little as a child.
This picture helps me to see my dependence on Him.
This picture helps me to look to Him for my answers,
for my plan, for my direction.
It takes the focus off of me and helps me to see
how truly dependent I am on Him.
I think that writing was given September 22, 1994 so
when Father Carter was opened with cancer
September 22, 2000 I would see my dependency
is on my Father.
Father Carter was a spiritual father to me and
the whole Movement.
Jesus spoke to him and gave him the
vision of the Movement.
He had the big picture.
He had that constant vision of Jesus.
(End of excerpt from May 21, 2001 Daily Message)
Writing from May 21, 2001
Messenger: I see myself on the Father's lap and see
myself
as His little child.
I want to be so connected to Him, to do His
will at every moment.
I want to be so focused on the beatific
vision to live to be possessed by God.
That is my true happiness. My goal is
to be possessed by God.
I want the deepest union possible.
I envision Father Carter seeing the face of
God.
I think of all we talked about, about
knowing God and the ecstatic
experiences I had and I am filled
with such joy to unite with the
souls that are experiencing such
fullness of life and to pray
through their powerful intercession.
Today I lay in my bed and I wanted such
deep union with God. I feel so much closer to
God the Father since the message of
Sept. 22, 1994.
I feel this deep connection to my Father and I love
Him so, so much. I want this awareness
of Him so close to me and my
realization of my dependency on Him.
I want to be His little child.
I see myself as little and dependent and I
long for deep union with Him.
I feel so connected to Jesus as my beloved
Spouse and
I feel my deep on fire love for God. I feel my
deep relationship with the Holy
Spirit.
I know Them more and more as Persons, Father,
Son and Holy Spirit and I know Them
as One Divine Supreme Being that
is love. One Divine Supreme
Being that loves me so much.

Jesus speaks: Put on Father Carter's
homily
May 26, 2000 with scripture.
Father Carter's Homily May 26, 2000
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 masters 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."
When a person has chosen to head up a charitable organization, or when a person is chosen to be director of a board of trustees of a prestigious university, those people so chosen feel very honored and elated that they were chosen among so many other possibilities to perform a very considerable task. And they go about that task of heading up the charitable organization or the board of trustees with great enthusiasm, with as complete dedication as time and energy will allow because they want to fulfill the trust which has been placed in them.Fr. Carter's Homily:
In today's Gospel Jesus says, "You did not choose me, no, I chose you." (John 15:16) Think of it: the Son of God chooses each of us for a very, very, very special task, much more important than just heading up a certain charitable organization, much more important than being the head of a board of trustees of a prestigious university. Do we have the same enthusiasm, the same dedication that these people who were chosen for these lesser tasks have?
St. Philip Neri he certainly responded so beautifully and to such a high degree of love to the choice which Jesus had made of him, and so did all the saints. And so we always have to reflect: how do I look upon the fact that Jesus, the incarnate Son of God has chosen me for a very, very, very special mission which no one else can fulfill? Again, are we as enthusiastic about Jesus' choice of us for this very, very special mission as the children of this world are, as they respond to choices made of them for various purposes with such great enthusiasm and dedication?
Of course it is the Eucharist which gives us the chief source of grace to fulfill the choice Jesus has made of each of us to such a high degree. The saints they depended upon that same Eucharist and they so admirably fulfilled the mission attached to Jesus' choice of them because they used those graces of the Eucharist in such eminent fashion.
And so each day as we offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice along with Jesus and as we receive Him at Communion time, let us ask Him, "Dear Jesus, in Your great, tender love You have chosen me for such a special mission to be fulfilled here below. Allow me to respond to Your choice with the greatest enthusiasm, commitment, vigor and effectiveness which Your grace will allow me. Jesus, thank You for choosing me."
Jesus speaks: Peace is not ignoring problems.
I come to deliver
a message and you do not even realize the seriousness
of the situation. I am God.
I am the Alpha and the Omega. I deliver
a message about peace.
PEACE WILL BE FOUND WHEN YOU
DO GOD'S WILL.
Some people live their whole lives trying to be
on the top.
I call you to serve Me now.
I have called you to this mission.
Do you want it your way?
Is your way My way?
You do not even realize the gift I have given to you
by calling you.
In the beginning I delivered messages and many
said no. They did not see the gift they were
given by being called by Me. They were
jealous and they wanted to be on the top,
they wanted to be the messenger.
I am delivering My message for the world.
Did you ever think you would be
involved with such a mission?
Did you see Our Lady of Fatima on a movie?
Did you see the devastation of World War II?
Did you want to help?

1st reading at Mass
Magnificat
The Magnificat
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
according to the promise
he made to our ancestors
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
Mary stayed with her some three months
and then went home.
Mary speaks:
I AM THE HANDMAID OF
THE LORD!
My children, I come to serve, I did
God's will. Many in the whole
world have ignored my appearance
in Florida. With all the willfulness
in the world, it is not pleasing
to the Father when He gives such
a sign and it is ignored.
Jesus speaks:
Here is Mary's message-
It is a message of humility, of
peace, of living according
to the will of God. It is
living in harmony doing
God's will. You do not
force others to pray. I set
the plan at the Centers
for My way of life. If
you come to the Centers
you see I am calling
you to pray at 6:20. It pleases
me that you pray at 6:20.
I wish to include a homily given
by Father Carter on doing
God's will.
Father Carter's Homily June 28, 2000
Matthew 7: 15-20
False prophets
Beware of false prophets who come to you disguised as sheep but underneath are ravenous wolves. You will be able to tell them by their fruits. Can people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, a sound tree produces good fruit but a rotten tree bad fruit. A sound tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a rotten tree bear good fruit. Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown on the fire. I repeat, you will be able to tell them by their fruits.
Fr. Carter's homily:
"...you will be able to tell them by their fruits." (Matthew 7: 20) words which close today's Gospel. Yes, we are called to bear good fruit for the sake of the Kingdom, and the fruit we bear is in proportion to our love union with Jesus. And our love union with Jesus includes in a necessary way our doing the Father's will in love. This particular reading from Matthew is taken from the Sermon on the Mount, a great sermon which comprises chapters 5, 6 and 7, and whether it is immediately following this particular verse of the Sermon on the Mount, this particular section, it certainly comes very closely thereafter where Jesus gives us this thought:
Matthew 7: 21
'It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.'
Fr. Carter's homily:
So the Sermon on the Mount very closely by the juxtaposition or almost the juxtaposition of these two teachings about bearing good fruit and doing the Father's will reminds us, yes, to produce good fruit demands that we be in union with Jesus in love in doing the Father's will. There's no other way to bear good fruit.
St. John of the Cross reminds us in a very summary statement of this. In one of his writings he says, "What does it profit you to give God one thing if He asks for another? Consider what it is God wants and then do it." 1 Very few words but what profound teaching.
St. Irenaeus, martyr, did the Father's will in that ultimate way of accepting martyrdom. Whatever the Father's will is for us, let us say with St. John of the Cross, "What does it profit you to give God one thing if He asks for another? Consider what it is God wants and then do it." 1 Yes, we do it in union with Jesus and this is how we bear fruit for the Kingdom.

(end of Father Carter's homily)
Jesus speaks:
My writings given here are
gifts to the world-
how can I accomplish
what I desire without
workers, if everyone
has their own plan.
These writings will go on
to help renew the Church
and the world.
You do not even realize what
a gift these writings are. You
do not realize what a gift
the daily message is. You do
not realize how it reaches
the far corners of this earth
everyday. It is My message
given to the world. It is important
to Me today.
The devil does not want
these writings to circulate.
You ignore Me and that I am
speaking to you. You ignore the
Lady on the building. I cry to
you and you do not hear me through
your noise. You do not see
Me with your eyes. Some have
turned numb.
Tomorrow is the Month
of My Sacred Heart.
How did you honor your
Mother in her month of May?
How did you promote the
rosary?
How did you help to bring real
peace to the earth?
Peace is found in doing the
Father's will.
So many have an agenda and they
say to Me, "I have to be busy
about my life"- that is why
they won't even take notice
of Mary on the building, it
may mean they have to give
up their own plan.
There will be peace when
men live to do God's will.
Mary said:
Luke 1:46-47
The Magnificat
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and
my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour
Jesus speaks: Are you the
handmaid of the Lord
or are you the leader?
Mary was humble, she said
yes to God.
She was the handmaid.
Problems must be addressed,
peace is not found in hiding
problems to have a day that
is a day without suffering.
I carried My cross to the hill of Calvary,
I carried it on My back, I fell
under its weight.
I am God, I could have stopped the
suffering.
I did it for you, My chosen one.
I Bled.
I did what the Father willed.
I stood at the pillar.
I was whipped.
I was crowned with thorns,
I did the will of the Father.
You doing your own will when it
isn't My will, will leave
you empty.
Happiness is found in doing God's will.
I am calling you now to help Me.
Satan can create distractions,
satan wants you to control
your lives, I want
you to
surrender to let go
to spend quiet moments
with Me with your God
and let God reveal
God's plan for you.
A woman had a rotten tooth, she went to
the dentist, he wanted to pull it, (the tooth)
she insisted it wasn't rotten
and blamed the dentist for telling
her the truth.
Your society has a lot of rotten
things that need to be extracted,
I am the Maker, the One Who
creates. You feel the pain
like the lady with a
rotten tooth you
come to Me
and I tell you the
truthyou plug up your
ears and do it your way,
your tooth gets more and more
rotten because you won't hear
Me, the pain is greater and greater,
the dentist tells her, Oh lady, it is
getting worse, he sends in another to
confirm his story, she says no, that
dentist is wrong.
Listen to your FatherHe has sent Me,
He has allowed your Mother to
appear on the building,
satan is stronger than
he ever was.
(Mary is a messenger sent by God.)
Spread My Blood on
your whole self, on your
emotions and imagination. Ask
God to heal you of your hidden faults.
Ask God to bring your offenses to the
light. Ask God to help you to do all acts
for His honor and glory.
Ask Me to keep you protected with
My Precious Blood.
You are at battle. The devil
wants My message stopped.
The devil wants you to give
up, to be divided, to be
selfish, to have an ulterior motive.
Your motive should
be to serve God and
do His will in all things.
Say this "Oh God, I want to
serve you and do Your will in
all things, give me light,
give me peace, Help me be
protected by the Blood of Jesus,
cast the devil far away from
Me. I give my heart to You.
I ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten
me.
Oh God help me."
I have called
you to this mission to help
bring about the
Reign of My
Sacred
Heart.
Satan will give you your own agenda.
Satan wants
you to do your own thing.
Here is a story, a conductor led the orchestra,
The head violinist had a particular piece he
felt he excelled in, he wanted everyone
to be proud of him and hear how
good he played. He played with all
his heart at the concert, his piece
had nothing to do with the piece the
conductor was leading.
A clarinet player wanted to take
this opportunity to show his skills.
He was on stage now, everyone in
his family would watch him and
then he would finally be "looked up
to" and accepted and loved
by his family. He played his
own favorite tune.
A man dedicated his life to learning
and learning about theology and
God. God was so pleased He asked
him to serve in this special
mission, he spent his days
dreaming of the future and how
someday he would be the leader,
instead of doing all he could
in this mission called by God
he always saw another day,
a bigger mission when he would
be the leader and not under
anyone.
I want to tell you about Eve.
Listen to the fall from Chapter 3 of Genesis.
Genesis chapter 3
The Fall
Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this,
Accursed be you
of all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Jesus speaks: Listen to Chapter 11
Revelation about
the two witnesses.
Revelation 11: 1-19
The two witnesses
Then I was given a long cane like a measuring rod, and I was told, ‘Get up and measure God’s sanctuary, and the altar, and the people who worship there; but exclude the outer court and do not measure it, because it has been handed over to gentiles—they will trample on the holy city for forty–two months. But I shall send my two witnesses to prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamps in attendance on the Lord of the world. Fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies if anyone tries to harm them; and anyone who tries to harm them will certainly be killed in this way. They have the power to lock up the sky so that it does not rain as long as they are prophesying; they have the power to turn water into blood and strike the whole world with any plague as often as they like. When they have completed their witnessing, the beast that comes out of the Abyss is going to make war on them and overcome them and kill them. Their corpses lie in the main street of the great city known by the symbolic names Sodom and Egypt, in which their Lord was crucified. People of every race, tribe, language and nation stare at their corpses, for three–and–a–half days, not letting them be buried, and the people of the world are glad about it and celebrate the event by giving presents to each other, because these two prophets have been a plague to the people of the world.’
After the three–and–a–half days, God breathed life into them and they stood up on their feet, and everybody who saw it happen was terrified; then I heard a loud voice from heaven say to them, ‘Come up here,’ and while their enemies were watching, they went up to heaven in a cloud. Immediately, there was a violent earthquake, and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand persons were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors, overcome with fear, could only praise the God of heaven.
That was the second of the disasters; the third is to come quickly after it.
The seventh trumpet
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and voices could be heard shouting in heaven, calling, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ The twenty–four elders, enthroned in the presence of God, prostrated themselves and touched the ground with their foreheads worshipping God with these words, ‘We give thanks to you, Almighty Lord God, He who is, He who was, for assuming your great power and beginning your reign. The nations were in uproar and now the time has come for your retribution, and for the dead to be judged, and for your servants the prophets, for the saints and for those who fear your name, small and great alike, to be rewarded. The time has come to destroy those who are destroying the earth.’
Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened, and the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake and violent hail.

Jesus speaks:
The time is now. I have come in My Movement, Shepherds of Christ to help
renew the Church and the world.
The writings I give will live on
and on and on.
You can be the weak link, instead of
putting your heart in this mission
and My calling-you serve, but
not whole heartedly, dreaming for the
day of leadership here below.
Dreaming and dreaming and dreaming.
I want you to see the seriousness of this
mission.
Do you see Mary on the building, did you
ever think you would be given
such a gift and called to be
a special leader for Jesus
and Mary?
March 21, 2001
Mary is the Ark of the Covenant
Excerpt from March 25, 2001 Daily Message
Messenger: I sat
Beneath the image and I felt
like complaining, I was in a car, I was worried
about the documentary.
Then I saw Mary on the building and I received
a light.
March 21, 2001
I saw clearly, the gift God had given to us.
What would make me happy?
I felt I was never satisfied and I felt
so ashamed.
God has given us this gift and how could
I not be grateful and thank Him and
praise Him and look at Mary
and enjoy the moments.
Jesus speaks: Live in the present moments.
Do you enjoy the moments you have now?
Do you realize how gifted you are that
I have lifted the veil and given you
such gifts?
Putting up walls, not working with others,
being angry and bitter at someone
keeps you stuck.
Have you helped to produce fruit for the
kingdom?
Jesus
speaks: Do I tell myself I am holy and then
Have bitterness in my heart?
Do I want someone else to make me
happy?
Am I hard to get along with?
Do I work against the leader?
Messenger:
I told God how
grateful I was for
His gifts of Mary on the building.
Late in the afternoon she (Mary) showed
me and John and Emily a
light show of such beauty.
Excerpt from March 21, 2001 Daily Message
Messenger: We went to the Virgin Mary building
and she looked sort of dull.
It was raining and the sky was very dark.
She became as gold reflective jewelry
accented by rainbow color like none
we have ever seen.Messenger: Today is March 21, 2001.
Tomorrow is Lucia's birthday.
Tomorrow is the anniversary when the
corner fell off the old seminary.Now Mary is appearing brighter than ever.
It is still raining, the sun is out.
The tree to the right of Mary is brilliant green
and above the tree going far into the sky
is a rainbow so thick and so deep of
purple, blue, yellow, orangish-red,
deeper than any rainbow we have ever seen,
wider than any rainbow.
It is vividly present here.
The rainbow looks like an arch
Messenger: Tomorrow is a special day and
we will tell you about it later.
Messenger: I remember when Father Carter said the Mass July 5, 2000, the first time we were able to photograph the gold Mary, Mary appeared golden by day. But today the beauty of her is far beyond I have ever seen. She is glowing in golden array, adorned in rainbow light.
Messenger: The golden color of Mary is now gone
and she is accented in rainbow color,
deeply adorned in blue.Messenger: What a gift God gives to us!
It is about time for the 6:20 prayers to begin.
She looks so blue, her head is still lighted,
you can see the clouds filter through her face.Thank you God for this gift.
(End of excerpt from March 21, 2001 Daily Message)
Messenger: See how Mary
appears to be lighted.
Jesus speaks: I give you a garden
and you complain.
A garden bears fruit.
I do not like anyone working against
My plan.
See Me now in your midst.
Do you think I am pleased with your
superior attitude?
You are not the ruler, I am.
Let your walls down.
Learn what love is all about.
How can you live in a family when you do
not trust them?
You trust Me and cause everybody I sent
to you to love, trouble.
I did not send you into the garden to make
your life an agony.
I sent you in there to smile and be
grateful, to praise your God,
to build up My Body.
I sent you into the world to spread
My Movement.
When you hurt My Movement, you hurt Me.
Jesus
speaks: Some people are just in the habit of causing
others grief.
They want something no one can give them
but Me.
They hunger for love and they think they
will be satisfied here (in this earthly life).
Take the scum from your eyes and see.
I see you and all you do with your superior
attitude.
You cause tension for everyone else.
I am gentle and kind and loving and
I love all.
China is My Eucharistic Center.
On April 13, 2001 it will be Good Friday.
How did you walk with Me during Lent?
Did you help build up My Body?
Did you help build up My Movement?
I give you My Movement and ask you
to help Me.
What a gift, I give you.
All pictures I gave you.
Are you sitting under the image of My Mother
complaining or praising God for the
gift I gave you?
A man looked out a window and he saw the star studded
night.
Another man looked out and he saw mud.
(End of excerpt from March 25, 2001 Daily Message)

Jesus speaks: Would you rather I scold you to get your
attention or pour out My love lavishly
to you?From the song, "I love you Jesus"
here is a line" I scarce can breathe when you
come into me"My child, you can love Me and give yourself
lavishly as I ask in this song or
you can ignore your God, using His name in
vain.
I give you a free will.
Do you will God's will?
Do you want your own will?
Father Carter's Homily May 26, 2000
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 masters 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."
When a person has chosen to head up a charitable organization, or when a person is chosen to be director of a board of trustees of a prestigious university, those people so chosen feel very honored and elated that they were chosen among so many other possibilities to perform a very considerable task. And they go about that task of heading up the charitable organization or the board of trustees with great enthusiasm, with as complete dedication as time and energy will allow because they want to fulfill the trust which has been placed in them.Fr. Carter's Homily:
In today's Gospel Jesus says, "You did not choose me, no, I chose you." (John 15:16) Think of it: the Son of God chooses each of us for a very, very, very special task, much more important than just heading up a certain charitable organization, much more important than being the head of a board of trustees of a prestigious university. Do we have the same enthusiasm, the same dedication that these people who were chosen for these lesser tasks have?
St. Philip Neri he certainly responded so beautifully and to such a high degree of love to the choice which Jesus had made of him, and so did all the saints. And so we always have to reflect: how do I look upon the fact that Jesus, the incarnate Son of God has chosen me for a very, very, very special mission which no one else can fulfill? Again, are we as enthusiastic about Jesus' choice of us for this very, very special mission as the children of this world are, as they respond to choices made of them for various purposes with such great enthusiasm and dedication?
Of course it is the Eucharist which gives us the chief source of grace to fulfill the choice Jesus has made of each of us to such a high degree. The saints they depended upon that same Eucharist and they so admirably fulfilled the mission attached to Jesus' choice of them because they used those graces of the Eucharist in such eminent fashion.
And so each day as we offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice along with Jesus and as we receive Him at Communion time, let us ask Him, "Dear Jesus, in Your great, tender love You have chosen me for such a special mission to be fulfilled here below. Allow me to respond to Your choice with the greatest enthusiasm, commitment, vigor and effectiveness which Your grace will allow me. Jesus, thank You for choosing me."
Father Carter's Homily May 31, 2000
Luke 1: 39-56
The visitation
Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariahs house and greeted Elizabeth. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.
The Magnificat
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
according to the promise
he made to our ancestors
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.Mary stayed with her some three months and then went home.
Fr. Carter's Homily:
I don't know if any of you have been privileged to visit the Holy Land. I was privileged to be over there about three weeks in summer of 1987. If you have been there you know how far it is from Nazareth up to where Elizabeth was has been told to us that she lived there in that area not too far from Jerusalem. So it is quite a long distance and Mary no doubt had to make that trip on donkey, so it was an arduous trip for her and here we see her great characteristic of always thinking of others. While she herself was carrying child she was thinking of Elizabeth her cousin. And her visitation, what did it include? Not only her own presence but the presence of Jesus in her womb. And so this is Mary's ongoing role given to her by the Father, that each day as Mother, as Mother of Jesus and our Mother, each day she visits us anew and she does not come alone as she did not come alone to Elizabeth's house she came with Jesus. And so it is with us relative to her daily visitation to us. Each day through her great, powerful maternal intercession she helps bring Jesus to us.
St. Louis de Montfort, one of the great apostles of devotion to Mary, has said in his writings that in these latter days the great saints, at least many of the great saints, holy ones to be raised up by God, will be given a great, great devotion to Mary. And you can see the reason for his thought, because a completely mature spirituality realizes that Jesus never comes to us without the intercession, without the powerful maternal role of Mary as she works, as she cooperates with her Spouse the Holy Spirit to form Jesus in us more and more.
So let us not miss the time of our visitation. Are we open to Mary's visits to us each day as she helps bring Jesus close to us? Mother of our Savior and our Mother, pray for us.

A PLEDGE FROM AN APOSTLE OF THE SACRED HEART
Messenger:
I am but a little speck on this earth,
but with His might He can use me
to spread the devotion to His
Most Sacred Heart.
Oh dear and precious Heart of Jesus
I give myself as completely as
possible to Thee so you will use
me to spread the devotion to the
ends of the earth for Your most
precious Heart.
I am Rita your precious soul.
Use me to help to spread this burning
devotion to the souls of this earth.
I am yours, take me, use me as you
will.
I surrender myself to you.
It is your might behind me, your power
that sends me. I am an Apostle of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give
myself as completely as possible to
Thee.
Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my
trust in Thee.
Father hear us please. We beg through
the intercession of Father Carter
and Our Lady of Clearwater that
prayer chapters are started all over
the world and the Priestly Newsletter
gets there immediately with the
Prayer Manual.
Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.
Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light. O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light. O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.
Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows. I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows. I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.
(End of Mary's Message)
A Note from the President of Shepherds of Christ:
If you are devoted to Our Lady's rosary, we need your help! A member of our ministry is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and he is helping to teach us how to grow our volunteer rosary makers. He estimates that we will need approximately $37,000 this year for beads alone! This translates into 22,339,500 rosary beads (yes, 22 million beads) assembled by volunteers into 378 thousand rosaries. The biggest users of our rosaries are the Catholic schools, who requested more than 100,000 rosaries last year.
Can you help us? I appeal to you for funds, whether large or small. We give because we love God, we love our Blessed Mother, and we love souls. We will accept gifts in many forms, besides cash or check donations, we can receive gifts directly in the form of stocks or property. These gifts can offer large tax advantages to the donor and increase the monetary value of the gift to us. Also if you can help assemble rosaries we need your help! If you can help us in anyway, please call or write us. God Bless!
I love you,
John Weickert
A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.
In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.
A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.
On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say:
May God heal through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.
Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.
May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
We believe with all our hearts.
After the Glory Be pray the following petition.
May be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.
