Mary's Heart
The Visitation
1.
R. Oh, tender Heart of the Child Jesus, that was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary, help us to unite ever closer to Your tender and gentle loving Heart through the heart of Your beloved Mother.2.
R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Her heart is bursting with such joy to share the good news. She goes to one person and tells the great news that she is carrying the Child Jesus within her womb. In the rosary chapel, there is the window on Jesus ascending into Heaven. Mary goes to one person and as Jesus ascended into Heaven He left behind the Apostles to carry out the work that He had begun. This day He gives to us this mission - to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. As we meditate deeply on these mysteries of the rosary, the lives of Jesus and Mary live more in our lives. We join more fully in the liturgy as we know more and more about Their lives.3.
R. Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb. The child within Elizabeth’s womb, leapt for joy. Today we receive Jesus in the Eucharist. We receive the presence of the Almighty God. We receive the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, in His Divinity and His humanity in the Eucharist. Should we not leap for joy at the fact that the Almighty God gives Himself to us!4.
R. God the Father chose the Virgin Mary. God the Father so loved this world that He sent His Son Jesus in her womb. Mary is the Singular vessel. We unite in deep union with Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the heart of Mary, her Immaculate Heart. Mary loves the Father so much. Mary loves her Son. Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. We will unite in the deepest union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through Mary’s heart.5.
R. The heart of Mary knows the Heart of Christ. Mary pondered so many things in her heart. We should love God through Mary’s heart - love our brothers through Mary’s heart and love all the little children of the world through Mary’s heart. If I dwell in the heart of Mary, I will love more and more as Mary loved, with her pure and gentle heart.6.
R. Mary carried the child within her womb. Mary is theMother of God. Mary, full of grace.
7.
R. The more I unite to the heart of Mary, the more I dwell in her heart, the more I will act in pure and gentle likeness to Mary, perfect handmaid of the Lord. The more I love with Mary’s heart, the more I am united with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.From
Tell My PeopleThe Holy Spirit
Jesus:
“My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary’s Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother’s Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!”Reflection:
The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us. end of excerpt8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

R. Jesus has delivered
these messages to me,
a housewife and mother and a
woman to tell the world –
When we are weak, He is strong –
God can use us with our feeble
ways and in our unworthiness
to accomplish great things
with His Might.
Jesus came as a suffering servant for
love of us. Jesus loves us so much –
Sunday is an important Feast to Him.
Listen to His messages of love

R. The role Jesus gave to me and Fr. Carter
and the Shepherds of Christ was to spread this
devotion to His Heart and to Mary's Heart, to
help in the completion of the Fatima mission,
to help renew the Church and the world and
to pray – majorly pray for the priests,
the Church and the world with these
prayer chapters.

I Love You
April 13, 1994
Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.
Jesus: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.
Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.
I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!
I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!
I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

R. Jesus wants us to sing this song to Him.
Song: I Love You Jesus
Jesus wants you to help me spread this devotion
to the Sacred Heart –
Here is a message from Jesus to Fr. Carter on
July 31, 1994.
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
R. The Jesuits were to
help in spreading
this devotion to the Sacred Heart.
Excerpt from May 5, 2013 Rosary
Jesus: And I come to you in a special way in this rosary and I want to touch your hearts. Let go now. Let go of all of those anxieties and worries. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with the desire to do God's will in all things, to let go to God, to say 'yes' to God, to be as God wants you to be, which means a total commitment in your heart, of loving God with greater love and loving one another with a heart that is more and more likened to Mine.
Jesus: And I am with you in a special way.
Jesus: Let go and let Me fill your heart with My love.
The Resurrection
3. Jesus: I am the Light of the World. Pray now to be healed in body, mind and soul.
4. Jesus: Let Me outpour My richest grace on you, that you open your hearts wide, that you are ready, that you let go of the fear and that you ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with love.
7. Jesus: And I carried My cross on the way to Calvary and My thoughts were of you, with the weight on My back, and I fell under the cross, but My thoughts were of you. And you hold onto foolish things when I am calling you to greater intimacy with Me. Oh My precious one, how indeed I want to be so close to you.
end of excerpt
May 31, 2013 continues
R. The devil works
in anger, where we
choose ourselves to be angry inside,
feeling cheated or unhappy and believe
others should make us happy – even
read our minds to know how we
are thinking.
The devil works in this thinking
as we choose to think we will have
some prince, person who will be so
close to us and understand us and
then we will be happy.
I remember a book once I read
years ago "Happiness is an inside Job."
I don't remember much of the book
but the title gives a big message
in itself.
What do we want?
Do we really want to know peace and
love, then it is in looking inside and
praying for God to fill us with His life
more and more abundantly and quit making
problems for ourselves with thinking
that can shut us down because we
do not mature to know
"Happiness is an inside job".
We were meant to love and give love to
others, to be rooted in God, to know
He has the way for us to live.
If we want peace, it must be
rooted in the Father's will. Let go
and Let God – Let go and experience
freedom. We were created by God to know,
love and serve Him and love our
neighbor as ourselves –
Let go and Let God –
To enjoy each other's company, but not
to be slavishly dependent.
To be thankful to God for His gifts to us,
our calling in our vocation –
To be united to God every step of the way –
to trust in His Plan for us –
to seek it –
to embrace it –
to love it –
and to be as He wants us to be.
We have been baptized into new life.
We are temples of the Holy Spirit.
We are His – He controls the universe.
Give Him your all and know the freedom
of flying.
R. Know how God runs the universe –
God created us –
God has a plan –
God loves us more than we can love
ourselves.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Jesus paid the price for love of us,
this we know – if we really
listen to His words in the
Blue Books –
We hear His love for us and
He wants our love in return.
Addicted to excitement - the devil wants
you to be engaged in a crisis –
to be engaged, to have a problem
to be angry –
to be under pressure –
to work against peace and deep
intimacy with God.
The reality is God lives in the graced,
baptized soul –
God allows us to suffer many times
to come to Him –
suffer and identify our sufferings
with His –
We can live our whole life looking
in the wrong places to be
satisfied –
Our hearts were made for God –
Our hearts were made for heaven –
We will not be completely satisfied
here
We see before us our life here will
end –
We see the beginning of life in a
new born baby –
We know eternal life is ahead.
We saw our parents die, probably,
our bodies begin to deteriorate,
we know that we cannot stop
the aging process – no matter
how we try –
People older than us get older and
older and even movie stars
so young, once, and handsome
die. We see the dying and rising of
trees in winter and trees in spring –
What is that all about anyway?
We see flowers that are cut and beautiful
for us, die and we throw them away –
Life goes on all around us –
The birds, the fish of the sea,
the earth is beautiful and it changes –
We are changing - every moment we
are changing here in this time.
We see the order in the world, the
perfection in God's creation, the
beauty of the night, the light of
the day.
We rest, only to grow older and older
and know our bodies are deteriorating.
We have wonderful days to celebrate,
but they don't last forever, but our
hearts can be forever young in love –
love is eternal – love of God – love
of others – seeing ourselves as
eternally destined for heaven if we
follow the Father's Plan – our
life in Him only getting fuller and
fuller until we go to heaven and have
the fullness of life –
We have to learn to let go. We
cannot hold onto anything. When God
takes us, we take nothing with
us – We must focus on His Plan –
We are His and He created us and He
loves us and He wants us to love Him in
return – to focus on His Plan for us.
Song: God's Love
Excerpt from Mother at Our Side by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. p. 41
Peace
During my visit to Medjugorje Ivan and Vicka spoke to us, and stressed the very important role peace plays in Mary's teaching. The further we progress along the path of conversion the more we experience the peace of Christ. The more we possess the peace of Christ, the more capable we are of helping to give peace to the world.
Excerpts from April 5, 2013 Rosary
The Resurrection
Mary: And I give to you my Blue Book, See Through the Eyes of Mary, for I appeared every day and much of the time my Son Jesus also appeared with me, that you will see through my eyes. For in seeing through my eyes, you will see the truth. And I ask you to spread this Blue Book, that others will know how to see through my eyes, the eyes that will lead men to greater purity and to know the love that Jesus has for you. This is a gift that I have given to you my children. As Our Lady of Clearwater, I ask you to spread my writings to my precious children.
The Ascension
6. ... Jesus: When God the Father put the Lady of Clearwater on the building, here, in Clearwater, the plan of the Father was to proceed ahead in a certain way, to reach many souls with the prayer chapters and that they would grow in greater holiness. When people see how they want things their way, from the smallest thing to the largest thing, and they decide that I should do it that way, leading others in the movement to do it their way, they need to get out of the way and let Me run the show, as the Father's plan is unfolding.
7. Jesus: Busy, busy, busy, busy and you run down so many dead-end streets. Did you ever say to yourself, that you were sorry for those dead-end streets, when the path was laid before you and because of obstinacies and bad habits of wanting your way, even when you had no way, just the way to do it the opposite way of what was asked of you. Doing things the opposite way of what I ask you to do will have it's consequences. I am directing you and telling you the pathway that leads to success for many souls to be touched by My writings in this Movement. Listen.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
7. Jesus sings: And I come to you and I give to you so many gifts. Thank your heavenly Father for the gift of this place, that He has allowed the Virgin Mary to appear here, to be a great gift to you. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.
9. Mary sings: I am with you my children in a special way, I am Our Lady of Clearwater.
10. Mary sings: Continue to sing, because God likes that.
Mary sings: Be very grateful for the gifts that you have been given, not envious, because that is from satan.
Mary sings: Be pure of heart, my little children.
The Assumption
3. Mary: And the days of your lives pass so swiftly. You do not realize that you see that other people grow old and they die. You must realize that today, you must live as the Father intends you to live. Focus your whole life on the Father's will.
4. Mary: Open, open your eyes. Open your ears. Open your mouths to pray. Open your heart and do not be closed down. Be trustworthy for God loves a trustworthy person.
5. Mary: Be committed in the calling that God has called you. Why would He call you, so you would be wishy-washy and test Him? Be committed my children, to the relationships that God has put in your lives. Say 'yes' to your spouses, 'yes' to your children. Do not try to search outside for things that will take you away from what is important to God.
6. Mary: The devil attacks commitments. You must pray for grace that relationships will be healed and that they will be united, for the devil wants to divide families, marriages, communities, churches - anything that will bring love, unity and peace to the world. I am the Queen of Peace, your heavenly Mother and I speak to you the truth, the truth of my Son Jesus.
7. Mary: Let your 'yes' mean 'yes' and your 'no' mean 'no'. Do not be wishy-washy! For how do you think your heavenly Father expects you to live your lives? I am Mary, your heavenly Mother.
8. Mary: I give to you this night – this night, April the 5th, 2013, a night richly blessed, by Our presence and Our love. Thank your heavenly Father. Listen to me as your heavenly Mother, the Queen of Peace of the entire world.
9. Mary: I am Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Clearwater, Our Lady of Guadalupe. I am Mary your Mother, Mother of the Church, Mother of the world.
10. Mary: Give your heart to me and my Son, Jesus. Spread this consecration to Our Two Hearts, throughout the entire world. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts, to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, you will not have peace in the world. Reach the Bishops to consecrate their dioceses. This is important to the peace of the world. My children, these are important messages that I give to you as the Queen of Peace, Our Lady of Clearwater.
Mary: A night richly blessed you say. I say yes, my children. God the Father has allowed me to appear, to give these messages, to give to you a great gift, that you must follow. If you want peace in the world, listen to the message as I deliver it to you, now, as I appear to you as Our Lady of Clearwater, Queen of Peace.
Mary: You are missing the finer things in life, for you are focused on many odd-ball things. I am telling you this, that you will turn your focus to the will of your Heavenly Father. Glory Be
Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth
Sing: Hail Holy Queen Enthroned Above
Mary: My little children, peace - peace - peace. I am the Queen of Peace.
1. Sing: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the Light of the World, King of Kings, King of Kings, Jesus the Light of the World
Mary: I am Mary your Mother. I am the Queen of Peace.
Sing: Ave Ave Ave Maria, Ave Ave Ave Maria
2. Mary: I am Mary, your heavenly Mother. Listen to me. Do as my Son, Jesus has asked you to do. Do not be obstinate and contrary. This is a very bad habit, my children.
3. Mary Sings: How do you expect to win, when you know the Father's will, and yet you oppose it. In this case, you serve satan and you will have consequences that are not good. I am your heavenly Mother, Mary, your Mother. I look out across a crowd and my eyes are looking at you, closing and opening, saying to you, my children – (Mary stops singing and continues speaking) See Through the Eyes of Mary. Listen to me. Do not be closed down. Do not be obstinate. Never punish one another, because of your willful, evil ways, for it offends your heavenly Father. Jesus paid the price for such sins of arrogant pride and aggression.
R. Oh she's so beautiful. She has all this light around her and she is like white. Thank you Mary. Thank you. Thank you, Our heavenly Mother. Thank you for this gift.
4. R. So pretty.
5. Mary: Were you ever up in the morning my children, and did you see the light as it came up? Wasn't it beautiful? It was as if the darkness gave way to the day and with such glorious light. You were filled with great joy. It is like that. When you give into habits of envy, habits of obstinacy, it is like a dark night, a cloud surrounds your heads, and when you give way to the things of God, the light steels across the sky and it gives you great joy. There are so many with bad habits, that control for no reason at all, that are hurting themselves and all around them, that are opposing the Father's plan for their control, and for their power. It displeases your heavenly Father, my children.
R. She is appearing so awesomely. Thank you so much. Thank you Mary.
6. Mary: This is a night richly blessed, that God the Father has given to you. Be grateful. Have a heart of love, for if your heart is unloving, you are not like God. Why do you fool yourself? You think that He is like that? God is love.
7. Mary: Challenging the plan of the Father is from satan. Jesus, the Sacred Heart, is meek and gentle in Heart, not combatal, not prideful, not envious or jealous, not angry and punishing. He is the sweetest of all Hearts. He is God, my children. He is God. And you have been created in that image and likeness. But you have a free will, to strive to be more like God, and pray to the Holy Spirit, or to be pompous and prideful, and allow the evil one, to rule your life, while you pride yourself further, and tell yourself you are in charge. And you are indeed, at the service of satan, who wants to tear the limbs off of the children of the world, tear apart marriages, and wants souls to go to hell for all eternity.
8. Mary: And you serve him. And I cry out to you, why do you help him? Why is your pride your god, your abuse that is so displeasing to Jesus who died for you? I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my heart was in such anguish for the little ones that would be lost forever. I am the Lady of Light. Will you reach them my children, with your hearts filled with love, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in you and to speak in the world? Or will you serve satan, for your obstinate pride and tearing your own life apart, and hurting the lives of so many.
9. Mary: I am Mary, Queen of the Universe.
10. Mary: I am Mary, Our Lady of Clearwater. I am Mary, Queen of Purity.
Mary: I am Mary, Our Lady of Clearwater of the Americas, Queen of Peace, Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas. I am your heavenly Mother. I have spoken to you, my children and this rosary should be published to the world.
Mary: Night richly blessed, April the 5th, 2013. Glory Be
Hail Holy Queen

From the entrance antiphon at the Mass of the Sacred Heart
"The thoughts of his heart last through every generation,
that he will rescue them from death and feed them
in time of famine."
From Blue Book 9
Excerpt from October 17, 1995 Rosary
8. Jesus: My dear ones, I am allowing you this day to suffer many trials for the days ahead will be dark and hard. In these struggles that you experience you will know deeper and deeper life in Me. Do not give up the struggles. Accept all of the sufferings that I am giving to you. Accept the sufferings as great gifts that I give to you for it is in your struggles that you will know Me more and more. In your life, which is a constant journey, constantly dying and rising in Me. Your goal is to be united deeper and deeper in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Surrender to all of the sufferings that you are experiencing at this moment and come to My Heart. Come to Me I will give you abundant life.
October 15, 1995 - There Appeared in the Sky a Woman, Mary (excerpt)
Written at 3:00 a.m. in Jackson, Michigan:
Jesus: I am calling all present to be My apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, I am working through you to help the hurting world. I will give abundant graces to all to be joined deeply in their love with Me. Many are called, few are chosen. You are called, you are chosen, I am giving you great graces. I love you. I want you in union with Me. You will carry My love to others. How can you tell others about My love if you do not love Me deeply. It is in your deep and burning love with Me you will transmit My messages of love.
Excerpt from May 13, 1997
The Resurrection
9. Jesus: I give to you, My children, I give to you My Sacred Heart. I am asking you to march into the darkness and to carry the light, the light that comes forth from My burning Heart of love. You will be pressed on. You will be stamped on. You will suffer and be persecuted, for the devil wants you stopped. You must be strong. You must know that I am strengthening you for the task at hand. You will be strong soldiers. You wear the marks of battle. You are marching into a world in which many are godless to carry My light.
The Coronation
6. Jesus: And so this is My message to you, My beloved ones, I ask you to carry out this message to the world. I ask you to begin the prayer chapters in churches, if possible. If not, to start all prayer chapters that are possible in your homes and other places. I have given to you these prayers that will help bring about the renewal of the Church and the world. You must pray these prayers fervently. You are My apostles. I am asking you to help. I am not asking you to be anxious and to worry. If you are unable to do some of the prayers, I am asking you to spend an hour with Me each day. In that hour, I will instruct you on the ways of My Heart. I will reveal to you the will of My Father for you. I am Jesus. I have called you here this day. This will help bring about the completion of the Fatima message which began 80 years before.

Excerpt from May 5, 2013 Rosary
7. Jesus: And I carried My cross on the way to Calvary and My thoughts were of you, with the weight on My back, and I fell under the cross, but My thoughts were of you. And you hold onto foolish things when I am calling you to greater intimacy with Me. Oh My precious one, how indeed I want to be so close to you.

The Resurrection
1.
Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Open wide your heart and let Me penetrate your heart with My abundant grace. My dear precious ones, how I long and thirst to be ever closer to your hearts. I wait at the door of your heart and I knock to come in, to be joined ever closer in such deep union with you, to shower My gentle love upon you. I am Jesus! I came to give you new life that you will have this lifeto the full. Open wide your heart and let Me in. Put aside all the distractions, all of the doubts, all of the worries of this day and let Me talk to you deeply in your heart. Let Me tell you the words of My love and tell you more and more of the mysteries of My life and My mother’s life. I love you! I love you! I love you! I am waiting for a deeper love relationship with you, My beloved spouse.10.
Jesus: My dear special sisters, you are chosen by Me, My beloved spouse. I am waiting and longing to unite ever closer to your heart. I love you with a burning love. I want you to love Me with a heart that is filled with burning love. I am waiting for you. Come to Me in silence. Let Me speak to you as you sit before My Tabernacle, I outpour to you more and more My abundant life. As you are filled more and more with My grace, you understand greater insights into My divine mysteries. I am giving to you a sharing in My life. Each day you understand deeper and deeper these mysteries. The mystery of My love for you. I am Jesus. I love you! I love you! I love you! I am sending you into a world that is filled with many hearts that are turning cold and hard. They are suffering. They are your brothers. Stay rooted firmly in the burning flames in My Heart. You are My beloved sisters, the stars in the sky. I have called you and I want to unite to you deeper and deeper in My love.
The Ascension
3. Jesus: I come to you My beloved ones, with a Heart that is burning and filled with My divine love. I give to you a sharing in My life. You were commissioned in Baptism to go into this world and carry out the work that I have begun. My dear ones, My dear sisters, so precious to My Heart filled with burning love, come to Me, for I am waiting and longing for your love.
6. Jesus: My beloved ones, The word is mission. I send you into this world My soldiers to go forth and to spread My love. The days here are short. They seem to linger, but the batting of an eye and your life is ended. I call you to love, love of God, love of one another. Many souls are suffering and in pain. They are your brothers. I ask you to love as I have loved you, to pray every day to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Spirit with Mary your Mother to pray for the souls of your brothers and to offer up all of your actions done in accordance to the Father’s Will. Done in great love. Such a strong prayer — Live in the Father’s Will. Unite your prayers as an offering to the Father through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for your brothers, for the souls in Purgatory. This world is suffering and in pain. You must pray as you have never prayed before. I am Jesus. I am calling to you with whatever your state in life is at this moment to be an apostle of prayer, to spend your days living in the Father’s Will with love, performing all your actions for your suffering brothers and sisters.
7. Jesus: Prayers, My dear ones, can stop wars. Pray to your Father, pray with all your hearts. I call for a love relationship with you, that you will love Me with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being, not words that you recite, but a consecration to My Heart and to the Heart of My beloved Mother. I am Jesus. I am waiting for you all My dear ones, as I hung on the cross, My arms outstretched. The nails penetrating My hands and My feet. The thorns had punctured My head. My dear ones, I gave My All! But My greatest sufferings was not what you see when you look at the cross, the wounds that covered My body. My greatest sufferings were the sufferings of My Heart for the indifference, the neglect, the sacrileges committed against My Heart. For I would have suffered more for My beloved souls. I love! I love! I love each and every precious soul! I shed My blood for each soul. Each precious soul created by the Father, loved dearly by Him. Will you not pray for your beloved brothers? All of your days is a prayer for this world that is suffering and in pain. I am crying out to you My beloved ones. You are My apostles that I am sending into this world to spread My love. You cannot march on this world. You must pray with all your heart. You are My chosen ones. I AM JESUS! I love you with the deepest love.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
4. Jesus: The sun may not shine, the earth may shake. My dear, dear ones, I am alive and I am with you this day. Open wide your hearts and let Me penetrate your hearts. I want hearts that are burning, in love. Hearts that are filled with fire. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you from fear to fearlessness, to fill your hearts with the fire of God’s love. My dear ones, you are given such great gifts of sharing in My divine life and My divine love. My precious sisters, chosen by Me for a special mission, I love you! I love you! I love you! Dearly I love you and wait by the door of your heart. Rid yourselves of any of the walls that are keeping you from a close union with Me. Remove all of the debris in your hearts, any resentment, anger that keeps you from deeper union with Me. Trade any bitterness in your heart for a heart that is filled with My Divine love. I want your hearts holy My dear ones. Hearts that are on fire and filled with love. Hearts that sing with the love of God. Hearts that love; love God and love one another. I am giving to you, My abundant life. I am filling you with great graces. As you are filled, you will march forth into this world and carry this love in your being. As you are in your hearts, so shall you be in this world. Make hearts sing with the love of God. I am alive! I am alive! I am alive! I live in your hearts this day.
7. Jesus: My beloved sisters, I am outpouring to you My grace. I share with you My abundant grace. I ask you to open wide your hearts. Let me penetrate your soul. Come to Me. Remove any walls and know My Divine love. I am alive. For I am longing and yearning to be closer and closer to you.
10. Jesus: I love you! I love you! I love you! My beloved sisters, I am longing for deeper and deeper union with your hearts.
The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
7. Jesus: The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin and your life is over on this earth. My dear ones, your true home is in Heaven. Live your lives in accordance to the Father’s Will. With love, always love. Love God. Love one another. Strive to be holy as the Saints, living ordinary lives, but lives of holiness. Lives of love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. Come to My Heart and I will teach you the ways of My love.
10. Jesus: You, My beloved one are My child. I love you! I love you! I love you! Come and dwell in My Heart. I am waiting and longing to be so close to you. Open wide your heart and let Me fill you with My life. As you go to the Heart of My mother, as you model your lives after My mother, you will grow more and more in holiness.

You will know the presence of the Almighty God.
A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
First Friday, March 6, 1998 - 10th Day
My beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul,
The days go by with such swiftness, yet my focus is entirely on being one with Thee. The days fade in and out in shades of lights and darks, some days I receive immense insight into Your mysteries, some days I am left to tremendous suffering, wanting You so deeply in my soul and not experiencing Your favor.
On this First Friday, I recall vividly the vision of Your precious Heart I hold in my heart. I see it clearly, red and filled with fire, and I know the warmth and glow of Your sacred divine love.
Oh, my Sacred Heart, indeed, Thy love is most sacred. Yet even though I do not ponder as I should on the endless fires of love emitted from your treasured Heart, I have a constant awareness of this love which leads me to march forth in this battle of helping to win souls over for the Kingdom.
Little is accomplished if I nurse my wounds on those dark days and sit in a corner waiting for a great favor from You.
I walk those shaded days as You walked with the cross on Your back, but my awareness of Your Father and His plan for salvation is so limited, and I struggle tremendously as I am pressed on as I travel on my journey to the end of the day.
And then a day of glory comes and You look upon me, my Bridegroom, and give me great favors and allow me to have a day of resurrection from the doom and the struggle.
And how did He walk the earth? He walked it too, in dark and light days. Days in which they chased Him and wanted to kill Him, in which they called Him crazy, in which He sweat the saving Blood because of His anguish, in which He was tempted, in which He wept, in which He loved Mary His Mother and Mary Magdalene, in which He raised His dear friend Lazarus from the dead, in which He preached about the Kingdom to His followers.
Days of light, days of darkness, but He entered the tomb and came forth victorious in the end.
He rose to give us life, His wounds were glorified, the victory was won.
My Bridegroom, You give to me Yourself this day. I am one in the glorified Lord in the most intimate way. The banquet is prepared. The Lamb has been slain. Now we reap the glory of the risen Lord. We receive the gift of life in Him.
LIGHT and darkness. He is the Bread of Life, He comes to feed the starved soul with Himself. Our most treasured gift, our most treasured Friend, Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of our soul, gives Himself as a sacrifice that we will share in His life most abundantly.
I love You, Jesus Christ my Bridegroom, come and possess my soul.
Excerpt from The Spouse of the Lamb
Ash Wednesday, February 25, 1998 - 1st Day
Jesus: Do you think I acted on your soul less when I gave you the experiences of hell?
I give to you the greatest graces to know My love. I act directly on your soul. I am the Bridegroom of your soul.
R. Oh Jesus, He took me to the heights of ecstasy in Him in realizing how He is the Initiator and acts on my soul. How foolish I am indeed to think it is I who control the workings of God on my soul, when in fact He is the Bridegroom of my soul.
I see Him look at me with the greatest love, as I did once in the study, when I knew He looked at me and loved me so. I sat with a white dress and my Bridegroom looked with love on me, thinking me so beautiful to Him, me the little child of the Father in all my faults, and looking on me with such love. He stood above me as a Bridegroom dressed in black, tall and handsome, and He looked down with the most loving eyes upon me and I knew the love of the Divine Creator.
Today I knew how it was, how He acted on my soul.
I see how it is when someone really acts in love and does something for me because that person loves me.
I see myself as open, letting go, putting myself entirely in the hands of the Creator, the God I love, and the Bridegroom comes with the greatest love and His grace. He gives me Himself. My job is to be, just to be, a soul, waiting for the Bridegroom to just give me Himself in the greatest love. I am, I know it is He who acts, and when He acts His presence overtakes my soul. I am, I let go and I reminisce about all the times He just overtook my soul.
Little do I do, for it is the Bridegroom loving me, loving my soul and acting most intimately on my soul.
I sit and surrender myself entirely to Him. He is the Initiator. He is the One Who acts with His grace and NOTHING - no intimate experience, nothing here can fill the soul with this love and satisfaction.
For the Bridegroom acts and the soul is satisfied, the only desire is that it will never end. Sometimes there is such a longing and realizing the temporariness of it all. Sometimes He gives my soul such satisfaction, comfort and love, and I am filled with the greatest peace and satisfaction with less awareness of the temporariness, just peace.
Jesus: I give you the peace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus when He acts on the soul of His spouse. I am the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. I am the Spouse of your soul. I give you this satisfaction so that you will write to Me after Communion for My Mass Books for the world. This book will be entitled the Spouse of the Lamb. I will act on your soul most intimately.
And what My child is the key, but total surrender as a spouse who knows her spouse loves her and takes the love given. You, child, pray for this grace, to be possessed by the Lamb, the Bridegroom of your soul. What lesson did I teach you this day but that it is I who act upon you, you do not control My love given to you in any way. A grace is given, a grace is received.
Your total surrender is the way to most optimally allow the Bridegroom, the Lamb, to act on your soul.
Total yielding, so that you will allow yourself to be IN ME.
R. Oh my God - how to explain that which happens when You act on my soul and what I experience. Are there any words that could do this justice when the Almighty God finds favor with me most intimately, and gives Himself to me?
Jesus: My child, I act, you are passive, empty and open. Surrender and I will possess your soul with the lights of heaven so you can experience your Divine Lover most intimately. Surrender, surrender, surrender, a state of being and surrender to live in Him at the point of greatest intimacy in the Mass.
You will know days of darkness and joy as the shadows and lights fade in and out of your life and I reveal Myself most intimately to you.
I am Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of your soul. Your hand must record these experiences for the marriage of the Lamb to the soul.
I act upon your soul most intimately.
A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience you most intimately.
R. My beloved Jesus,The Bridegroom of my soul. It is not I who write, but in fact, You Who write through me, to Yourself. I surrender myself and want to exist in You in such oneness that I can more optimally love You.
This is my desire to give You great love from my heart existent in You.
And this I write for 10 minutes that You will help me to love God most intimately and give myself more completely to Him.
My God, I adore You, I worship You, I love You, my beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul. I know the black Bridegroom, the one dressed as a bridegroom who wears a white robe of glory. Yes, it is the priests dressed in black that are to teach us to be the spouse of the Lamb.
Revelation 1:6
…and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
R. And the Bridegroom comes, He summons the soul.
Oh, my Bridegroom, we pray for the wedding of the Lamb to our souls.
We pray for the spousal relationship of our souls with Our Divine God.
Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The life flows from My Sacred Heart to My body, the Church. Many never mention the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
What body would survive cut off from the heart? My life flows from My Heart into the body, My Church.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus and My Heart will reign - I am calling My people to a personal spousal relationship with God. This is the work of the Shepherds of Christ. I bless you in this mission to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart.
I am Jesus, the Son of God, Son of Man, the Sacred Heart, I am the beating Heart that keeps the body alive with My grace.
R. Blood and water poured forth from His most Sacred Heart. Blood a symbol of the Eucharist, water a symbol of Baptism.
He cursed the barren fig tree.
Revelation 6:13
…and the stars of the sky fell onto the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when a high wind shakes it;
Revelation 7:17
…because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 5:10
and made them
a line of kings and priests for God,
to rule the world.end of excerpt
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.end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message

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."

Excerpt from Mother at Our Side by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

teenOrdinariness
Today’s Gospel in its story certainly points ahead to Jesus in His Passion
and death. And as we read passages such as this during the Lenten season, we
are reminded once again that the Church in her Liturgy of the Word gives us
an opportunity to undergo a purification, an ever deepening cleansing of
ourselves so that we may be a more fit instrument for receiving the great
graces which are to be given to us at the time of the Resurrection memorial
on Easter. And so all in all, Lent is a time of purification to prepare us
for ever-greater gifts of the Lord. It’s a time of self-discipline, a time
to renew our efforts to be self-disciplined in the service of the Lord.
Self-discipline is an aspect of purification. And I suggest that one of the
most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to
concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to
disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on
the past or in a wrong way on the future. There are proper occasions for
thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the
past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be
upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age
quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the
present. And of course we are familiar with that term in the history of
spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. And so the discipline of
Lent certainly encourages us to include in a deeper self-discipline a
greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment.
People with a terminal illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death
for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very,
very quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some
certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their
lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and
opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at
those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great
means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our
Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much
about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and
deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever
greater focus upon Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I
live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present
moment. And so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that
self-discipline - which is very difficult at times - to really live in the
presence with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help
of God’s grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation.
