Mother's Day
Mary: I am the perfect handmaid of the Lord –
Jesus: I have called Servants and Handmaids of
the Good Shepherd to serve in love,
in community living as loving sisters
and brothers to each other –
living under My authority as Chief Shepherd
of the Flock –
My Movement is to bring unity in My
Heart and the Heart of My Mother in
love –
The Shepherds of Christ are so richly blessed that I
have given them the building in
Clearwater, Florida where Mary
appeared, your heavenly Mother
for 7 1/2 years for all to see –
Jesus: Nowhere in the history of the world
has Mary appeared like this
delivering My Movement, Shepherds of Christ,
the Ministries to help renew the Church
and the world.
This is such a gift the heavenly Father
has given to the world.
Betty was a Handmaid of the Good Shepherd
that lived her life praying for almost
20 years before the Blessed Sacrament –
she prayed for you
How Shepherds of Christ Has Changed My Life
In midsummer of 1996, after receiving some material from a friend, I asked people to help form a Shepherds of Christ prayer chapter. I requested and obtained our Pastor's permission to expose the Blessed Sacrament nightly for our prayer gatherings. I also began making monthly pilgrimages to China, Indiana, for the special prayer service on the 13th of each month and a bit later, for the three-day retreats with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
The teachings, prayers, love letters, and way of life given to us by Jesus through His Shepherds of Christ Movement helped me realize that I held erroneous views about my faith and God's ways. I recognized too, that I had developed several unChrist-like habits. As ridiculous as it sounds now, the discovery that I could not make myself holy by hard work and perseverance, was quite an insight. But these disconcerting conclusions were accompanied by the refreshing realization that I was made to be totally dependent upon my Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier, and Heavenly Mother for all things – including my sanctification. I came to understand that I needed an increased dependency:
On God the Father for His mercy, grace and the manifestation of His will for me,
On Jesus for His example, word, Sacrifice of the Mass, Sacraments, and Shepherds of Christ teachings,
On the Holy Spirit for His gifts and transforming action,
On Mary, my Mother for her protection, modeling and intercession.
The fact that all these gifts are free for my taking, will never cease to amaze me.
The pace with which self dies and gives way to Christ would be discouraging if it were not for the infinite, unconditional love and patience Jesus has for each soul, the explicit guidance He provides us on how to become more like Himself, and His generous promises. Jesus' love, expressed most vividly for me in His Incarnation, Passion, death, Eucharist, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, provides the impetus I need to forever plead and beg for God's transforming action in me.
The stations and the rosary prayed as Jesus and Mary request, have made Their lives so real and made me increasingly aware that Their lives were always shaped by love for God the Father, for each Other, and for souls. I often now place myself at the scene of the mystery or station, and find myself asking questions, seeking counsel, expressing gratitude, or making a request or Act of Contrition. I have come to recognize that the slightest lack of love between my brother and myself is offensive to God and my Mother and that it distances me from Them. I have come to equate the lives of Jesus and Mary with a never-ending "fiat" – some prayed tearfully, some joyfully, but all said unconditionally. This unending and uninterrupted fiat has become a source of great inspiration. While I believe it is rarely if ever attained in this life, I know that Jesus has set this as a goal for the members of His Movement. Stations, rosary and the messages from Jesus and Mary have also convinced me that working as a co-redeemer with Jesus and Mary is not only an essential component of Christianity but a privilege that allows us to truly share Divinity.
One of my favorite lessons is the channeling of grace and mercy from the Father, and the reverse channeling of our prayers to Him. A second favorite is the instructions Jesus has given us for more effectively offering the Sacrifice of the Mass. These two lessons have substantially affected my prayer life. I still frequently find myself trying to devise my own strategies, my own goals, my own time table; but when I catch myself doing so, I at least now recognize the absurdity of such self-direction and the wisdom of using the fool-proof methods identified by Jesus and Mary in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
So with the grace of God I intend to daily nestle in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary through frequent consecration, learn to listen with my heart to Their counsel, beg for Their help to discern the Father's will, and join Them in praying "fiat".
Oh Jesus and Mary, I'll need eternity to begin to thank You for the lessons You are teaching me and the call and mission You have given me as a member of Shepherds of Christ. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I give to each of You, my body, my heart, mind and soul. I place my trust in You.

Witness Letter - Rosie R.
How has Shepherds of Christ changed my life?
The first time I opened God's Blue Book, I knew that Jesus was speaking to me! The message was just what I needed that day!
I had not attended daily Mass since Catholic High School, approximately 30 years previous. MY PRAYER LIFE had been practically non-existent – attending Sunday Mass and calling on God during trials. In fact, the threat of my husband dying of cancer took me back to praying the rosary and praying novenas to the Blessed Mother. After he died I was at a loss, for I considered him my "rock". For the first time ever in my life, I began praying to do God's will. I had a career, but I felt in my heart that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my working life.
I was invited by a friend to make a Cursillo weekend and without hesitation, said yes. Following the grace-filled weekend, I entered the chapel for adoration and picked up the Blue Book, which I had ignored for weeks. I immediately fell in love with Jesus and my life began to change! With the help of Jesus through the Blue Book, along with daily Mass and Holy Communion and spending time after Communion with Jesus and time in prayer, I was able to work through my depression, which I had even denied existed.
After giving out many Blue Books to relatives and friends, I received an invitation to attend the first monthly Shepherds of Christ national prayer meeting at Tom A's farm held on October 13, 1996, with Rita leading a Live Rosary. I felt drawn to every meeting after that, and soon found myself in the core group at Morrow, Ohio, attending weekly prayer meetings with Live Rosaries. Through the use of the Blue Books, mostly in front of the tabernacle, weekly prayer meetings, and rosaries at Morrow, I have grown closer to Jesus than I ever thought possible.
I thank Jesus every day for His many graces and the deep love that He gives me to draw me closer and closer to Him. I also thank my spiritual Mother, Mary, with all my heart for her help when I turned to her in desperation and for the help she's given me throughout my life.
As an apostle working in Florida at Our Lady's Image Site, I have a great opportunity to spread the light and love of Christ to all I meet!!!

Witness Letter - Sheila W.
Jesus has led me gently and gradually into closer union with Him through Shepherds of Christ. From the Prayer for Union that I found in church, to the first time I read a Blue Book, to my first 13th meeting, to starting a prayer chapter in my parish, He has patiently led me into doing things I didn’t know I could do.
I have loved Shepherds of Christ from the beginning because I have experienced Jesus' guidance in a special way.
And here I am, a Handmaid of the Good Shepherd, being a spouse of Jesus, loving and serving Him here in China, Indiana. For many years, I wanted to work for Jesus in the Church, but didn’t know how.
The daily Mass and holy hour were a part of my life before I knew about Shepherds of Christ or the Blue Books. Reading the Blue Book for the first time confirmed what I was already doing and gave me the direction on how to spend that hour with Jesus before the tabernacle.
During the last few years of my working days, I looked forward to the time off so I could spend it with Jesus before the tabernacle. I purposely did my housework during the weeknights so I could have Saturday totally free to spend with Him before the tabernacle.
So, to be here in China, where I can focus totally on Jesus, loving and adoring Him in the Eucharist, and helping to send out His newsletters and filling the orders, is a dream come true for me.
Being a handmaid has been a joy and a challenge. A joy to know this is God’s will for me and a challenge to change myself and to let go of the things I am attached to.
I am now sitting before Jesus, in the exposed Blessed Sacrament, and I am thankful to Him that He has fulfilled my heartfelt wish to be able to love and serve Him 24 hours a day and to adore Him in the Eucharist.
I am also grateful to Jesus for letting me work with the most selfless people who are in Shepherds of Christ. They are always willing to help me out when I need them and go the extra mile to make things easier for me. It is a blessing to be in this family called Shepherds of Christ.
I am also thankful for my friends back home who have been a great support to me, who have prayed for me and helped me to move to China.
On the 13ths, when everyone is gathered for the rosary here in China, I look at the people and I feel a connection in my heart to all of them, to my friends from Jasper and my Shepherds of Christ family and I thank Jesus for loving me through these beautiful people.
And I thank Jesus for leading me to the Shepherds of Christ and for teaching me so many things, especially how to be a better spouse of the Lamb. It is my heartfelt desire to be united with Him forever and He is continuing to lead me there a step at a time. I love Him with all my heart and I love the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

Jesus: Sheila is very dedicated to the
Eucharistic Adoration in China.

Jesus: Doris has to pay the bills – that
is a hard job –
Doris helps with My Blue Books.
Doris J.
What has Shepherds of Christ and being a Handmaid done for my life and for my relationship with Jesus?I first heard of Shepherds of Christ from a letter received concerning a rosary gathering at Tom’s Farm in October 1996. My family already had plans for the 13th. When I received a notice for November 13th my brother and I went not knowing much about Shepherds of Christ, but if it was praying the rosary-it had to be good. It was the most powerful rosary I ever attended. I didn’t go for several months, but felt drawn to this ministry and compelled to pray the prayers and read the blue books. Jesus was talking directly to me through them and it was great.
Jesus has always worked slowly in my heart. Pain and suffering in my early adult life brought me to realize that God was the only one I could turn to in my need. God alone was my strength.
In July 1997, news came that the department where I worked was being phased out by the parent company on the east coast. I was disenchanted with my job and I only continued working there to live, so I wasn’t concerned about the lack of a job.
During this same time, I felt pulled in my heart to pray with Shepherds of Christ as a body. I was shy and I would just come, sit, pray and be silent, not really talking to anyone very much.
I knew from my childhood that I would never marry. The pull Jesus had on me was stronger than the world’s, though I didn’t realize the source. For the past year I had become closer to Jesus and I felt what I would do with my life, next, would be for him alone.
On August 13, 1998, I went to China, Indiana, to the monthly rosary knowing something was going to happen-but not knowing what. During the rosary the president of Shepherds of Christ started reading a letter from Jesus about women being called as handmaids and their way of life. I felt the power of the Holy Spirit descend on my head and I was glad to be sitting. I knew Jesus was calling me to become a handmaid, a call that I had been waiting patiently for, for over two years.
After the rosary I acted on the Holy Spirit’s prompting immediately-knowing if I didn’t, I would find excuses not to. Jesus’ hand is very strong in my life. I was accepted as a candidate for a handmaid within a few days and gave two weeks notice at work. I found myself in Clearwater, Florida, within three weeks.
As a Handmaid of the Good Shepherd my life is very prayerful and very one on one with Jesus as His spouse. He is the Bridegroom of my Soul. Just being with him after Mass and in front of the tabernacle is candy to my soul and leaves me speechless. Being a handmaid has brought the joy, love and peace of my Divine Bridegroom into my life to an extent I didn’t even know could exist.
He calls me to constant change and growth. I cannot remain the same, for my life and love for him would stagnate. I live to serve him. I have only scratched the surface of the depth to which my soul craves union with my Lord and Savior. Any life in God is hard work, but the rewards are unbounded.
Jesus loves each and everyone of us on a personal level. He died on the cross to save each soul. He, the living God, is truly waiting in the tabernacle for us, to love us, if we would only come and sit with him.
Since my move to Clearwater, Florida, in 1998, I have recently traveled to China, Indiana, for a stay and I am currently in Morrow, Ohio, doing the work Jesus has called me to do. Jesus knows where I will be next, even though I do not.
There is nothing boring about being on Jesus’ roller coaster. The ride is into eternity! I can’t wait to see you there!
Jesus: Jerry is the Servant of the Good Shepherd
he is very dedicated and does
lots of adoration, helps the
homily books to go and
is a prayer warrior.
Jesus: Melanie and Dan have helped so much –
thank you.
Jesus: Thanks to Mike for his help.
Jesus: Sanja is a doctor and helps out a lot in Florida.

Mary: I am Mary your Mother –
I call you to holiness –
I call you to quit sinning –
to tell the truth –
to be instruments of love
Pray to the Father.
R. When I was 5 years old my mother
died of cancer. She was 48. Her name
was Alice. There were 5 children and
I was the youngest child.
When I received First Holy Communion
my real mom was dead and my dad was
sick so my step-mom was there.
It gave me time to focus on Jesus.
I was His little bride and He - the
bridegroom of my soul –
I went to communion every day – most
of my life. The Eucharist helps us to be
close to Jesus.
Song: I Love You Jesus
Song: A Song from Jesus
Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul
Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart
Song: Teach me to Love with Your Heart
Song: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
Jesus: I love you so much. I want you
to want so much to never offend God.
You are so blessed.
When you live be holy in your
ways –
I am the way, the truth and
the life.
R. God our Savior please hear our prayer
for love in our hearts. Help us to
never offend You by lies that move us away
from You. Help us to follow the light
of Your truth. Help us to live the truth.
Help us to pray to the Holy Spirit to have the
Spirit of truth in us.
Help us to be sorry for our sins, sins
of being unkind and untruthful and
unloving to those who have given
so much to us.
Help us, oh heavenly Mother, to be
children of the Light. Children filled
with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit fill
us with Your gifts of Wisdom, Understanding,
Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
and Fear of the Lord.
Help us to live virtuously.
Help us to be a light in the darkness
and have the fruits of the Holy Spirit which
are charity, joy, peace, patience,
benignity (kindness), goodness,
long-suffering, mildness, faith,
modesty, continency, and chastity.
Help us to be a witness of the light before
men, a witness of the Christ that lives
in us, help us to witness to the truth –
We beg You heavenly Father, in the name
of Jesus to hear our prayers, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Praise the Lord.
Sing: Holy God we Praise Thy Name
Glory, honor and adoration be to God –
Praise God –
Praise God the Father,
Praise God the Son
Praise God the Holy Spirit
Dear Triune God we praise You –
Blest be the Name of Jesus –
Dear God help us to live with love and peace
in our hearts toward all.
Help us not to give into the temptations
of satan –
nor take our focus from You –
Psalm 36
Glory BeSin is the oracle of the wicked
in the depths of his heart;
there is no fear of God
before his eyes.He sees himself with too flattering an eye
to detect and detest his guilt;
all he says is malicious and deceitful,
he has turned his back on wisdom.To get his way he hatches malicious plots
even in his bed;
once set on his evil course
no wickedness is too much for him.Yahweh, your faithful love is in the heavens,
your constancy reaches to the clouds,
your saving justice is like towering mountains,
your judgements like the mighty deep.Yahweh, you support both man and beast;
how precious, God, is your faithful love.
So the children of Adam
take refuge in the shadow of your wings.They feast on the bounty of your house,
you let them drink from your delicious streams;
in you is the source of life,
by your light we see the light.Maintain your faithful love to those who acknowledge you,
and your saving justice to the honest of heart.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant overtake me
or wicked hands drive me away.There they have fallen, the evil–doers,
flung down, never to rise again.
Sing:
Dear God You are our Light
Dear God You are the source of life –
Jesus: Let your hearts be soft and
supple –
You have a free will to choose
evil or light –
The sinner deceives himself
with falsity
He lies to himself about death –
He is a man who will fall
and be flung down from
his own choosing –
I have warned him and he
lies of his evil ways –
Trying to pretend he lives when
in fact he is cut off
in his heart and his
life is not really living –
The man of darkness is trapped
in a tomb of his own making,
there is guile in his heart and
some so diseased laughs
when they persecute the just –
he who laughs while he
plays evil designs will
be spit from My mouth –
I am the way, the truth and
the life –
The mischievous and crafty can
be full of malice, but
nothing of such malice
in the heart of men
passes Me by –
I know and read the hearts and
all will be judged by how
they loved or did mischievous
deeds to the innocent –
Heaven is a reward promised
to those who love and
serve God –
The man in darkness, unrepenting
and lying will be judged
by his malicious deeds –
The more he delights in his malice
the more he will suffer –
I am a just judge –
Judging rightly –
Anger, pride, envy, jealousy,
slothfulness are vices –
deadly sins!
R. Oh Most Sacred Heart of Jesus – I place
my trust in Thee –
Bestow on us Your abundant
blessings – outpour Your
gifts upon the Church –
Send the Holy Spirit into our lives –
We pray for the conversion of poor
sinners, enlighten those locked
in sin, bless us, oh God –
we love You –
help the souls in purgatory –
Jesus: I am a God of Justice!
Song: I Am a God of Justice
Jesus: You must have a lively sorrow
for your sins –
R. Dear God help me to be humble,
and patient and pure and
wholly obedient to Your will –
Dear God help me to live in You –
Protect me, God, Comfort me
in sorrow and help me
to not offend You by unloving
ways that I may treat others –
Help me God to have a holy death –
Sing: Glory Be
Dear God we thank You and give
You praise –
We adore You –
We love You –
Let our tongue only utter
what is right –
Help us to be resurrection
people
Help us to have eternal
happiness in You –
Help us to see You, God, in others
we are to serve and respect
and work with.
Help us God to respect authority.
Sing: Glory Be –
God have mercy on us sinners –
Lamb of God
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
Tobit 4: 15-16, 18-19
Do to no one what you would not want done to you. Do not drink wine to the point of drunkenness; do not let excess be your travelling companion.
‘Give your bread to those who are hungry, and your clothes to those who lack clothing. Of whatever you own in plenty, devote a proportion to almsgiving; and when you give alms, do it ungrudgingly.
‘Ask advice of every wise person; never scorn any profitable advice. Bless the Lord God in everything; beg him to guide your ways and bring your paths and purposes to their end. For wisdom is not the property of every nation; their desire for what is good is conferred by the Lord. At his will he lifts up or he casts down to the depths of the dwelling of the dead. So now, my child, remember these precepts and never let them fade from your heart.
Sing: The King of Glory
Sing: I Am the Bread of Life
R. When a soul gives themselves to the Holy Spirit
they are happy –
There is peace –
The Holy Spirit brings security and love –
The Holy Spirit helps us in the uncertainties
of life.
These uncertainties and fears
brings us to misery.
God allows us to suffer –
To hurt others it is because of
our own self-made
misery. This brings down
greater darkness and misery –
Jesus: Who is the Master when a man
is in conflict because he
opposes the Father's will
and he serves satan –
His life is a darkness that is
misery and he seeks
to bring others down as
satan tempts him and
in his weak and diseased
will he gives into satan.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11
There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:
A time for giving birth,
a time for dying;
a time for planting,
a time for uprooting what has been planted.
A time for killing,
a time for healing;
a time for knocking down,
a time for building.
A time for tears,
a time for laughter;
a time for mourning,
a time for dancing.
A time for throwing stones away,
a time for gathering them;
a time for embracing,
a time to refrain from embracing.
A time for searching,
a time for losing;
a time for keeping,
a time for discarding.
A time for tearing,
a time for sewing;
a time for keeping silent,
a time for speaking.
A time for loving,
a time for hating;
a time for war,
a time for peace.What do people gain from the efforts they make? I contemplate the task that God gives humanity to labour at. All that he does is apt for its time; but although he has given us an awareness of the passage of time, we can grasp neither the beginning nor the end of what God does.
Jesus: Life is full of uncertainties –
the Holy Spirit leads the soul –
Happy the soul led by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life.
R. God is light and in Him is no darkness.
Jesus: I walked the path to Calvary with the cross
on My back.
I shown against a dark sky –
I shown brilliant light –
I went to My death in peace –
They beat My body –
They whipped My body raw –
And I endured this for your sins –
My child the devil is real –
He comes to the person that allows them
to manipulate them in lies –
Oh My baby, My love is real and I
have given to you in abundance –
When the devil attacks through a
person who makes themselves
his instrument – they are
used by the devil and the
diseased or weak will of the
person can give in immediately –
and do the work for satan –
I call you to be loving and kind –
to walk in the light –
to know I am always in you
when you love Me so much and
give Me your heart –
My baby, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell
in your graced, baptized soul –
I am real, I am the light, I am a
Person who loves you so much –
You live to serve Me and I am with you
and I love you –
The Holy Spirit fills you with His life and His love –
The Holy Spirit is the Spouse of the Virgin Mary –
As you live more and more in the Holy Spirit
you are formed more and more in
My image and likeness –
Your life is to be lived to love and
serve God –
Your life is to be pure and holy –
I am the way, the truth and the life and
you are My beloved –
I never leave you, My child –
I come to you and ask you to serve
Me in truth and in happiness –
The devil comes in others to attack
and tear down –
Never let any deception be on your
lips – remember how I
suffered so for the sins of men –
Remember My love for you –
Remember My truth –
Remember I am the Lord of Life –
Remember I am the Light –
The devil comes in others to trip you up
and to make you suffer –
Know now My presence always with
you and you will know My
light even in suffering,
even when others come to attack you –
Satan is coming to attack –
Don't grab the snake –
He comes in lies –
A man of deception pushes
himself - far from
My light –
My light brings love and truth
and I am operating in this
person –
After reception of the Eucharist – I fill
the person with Myself in such
intimacy, I want them to let
Me in their heart and to be
so open in purity and respect
for the great gift given to them –
Sing: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord –
Sing: I am the way, the truth and the life –
A person who is disciplined controls
themselves, they never want to
offend God by the smallest sin –
They know, know the light –
They live to serve God –
They are one in Me –
They do not give into the darkness
of satan –
They live in love because the truth
is in them – they are kind and
bring unity to men of kind heart –
The man who wants to bait others and
bring a challenge for power
and division is a man
wrapped in darkness
and is a man whose heart
is closed to the light –
A man of discipline walks in
the light –
follows in My footprints and
wants to work in love for
the building of My Kingdom –
even in suffering
Give the gift that keeps giving.
