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.

I Come Into Your Heart

April 8, 1994

R. How can I be focused on myself when the Son of God is within my breast? This is His aching when I receive God, Who has come to me in such love, and then I focus on all my incidental problems. He wants our love, our longing, our joy to behold the Son of God in our hearts and we focus on such incidentals and worries!

Jesus: Oh, how could you do this to Me when the Son of God enters your breast and comes into your heart and you ignore Me or worry for such nonsense? Be with Me, be in love with Me. Let yourself go of the cares of the world and focus on Me alone, out of such love to come and dwell in your breast.

I am the Son of God and I am in your breast this very day because I love you. How it wounds Me when you ignore Me and look the other way and focus on your incidental worldly cares. Oh, be with Me, please. I come with such love. God enters your breast and I am with you, inside of your heart. Put away all the cares of this world and just be with your Lover.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus and I love you so much, My child.

Messenger:    Oh Jesus I am sorry when I receive you and I am
                            so focused on so many things I do not
                            spend time in tenderly loving you.

                        I remember deep ecstatic experiences with Him. It
                            is then my heart knows such joy, but sometimes
                            I experience suffering, so deep because I know
                            it will end.

                        I love to be so existent in Him.
                        I love to be saturated with His deep love as I
                            experience it when He takes me to great
                            heights of existing in Him.

                        Jesus, I just want to be so one with You as my spouse.
                            Every day I find myself giving myself more and more
                            to You, really laying down my life for You and 
                            for souls.
                        Every day I long for the quiet moments with Him, but
                            I want to learn to live in the moment allowing
                            Him to run my life and not wanting anything
                            that is not God's will for me.
                        Everything must be as He wills. It is important
                            not to want more of something than He wants
                            me to have, not to want something He doesn't
                            want me to have at all.

                        He can make everything turn out. We have to let go.

                        Realizing my time is His time, I want to spend my
                            days doing what He wants at every moment.

                        Sometimes He allows me to suffer tremendously.
                        Sometimes He gives me the sweetest taste of
                            deep love and so much joy in His
                            creation.

                        Whatever it is He wants for me, I must want it,
                            not too much of some things, or too little,
                            wanting just what He wants.

                        Here is a homily of Father Carter's from May, 2000
                            exactly as he delivered it in China, Indiana.

Father Carter's homily May 24, 2000

John 15: 1-8

The true vine

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

    Fr. Carter's homily:
            Much of the thinking of the modern world says this, in effect: 
                "Each of you is master of his or her own destiny. 
                You can do whatever you want; 
                you can become whatever you wish. 
                It is completely within your own power 
                to become a fully developed personality." 

            How far away this idea is from the teaching of Jesus Who tells us, 
                "Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; 
                for cut off from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5) 

            Certainly the world in its attitude of holding out 
                to the members of society, that it is completely 
                within our power apart from any supreme being 
                to become happy individuals, successful individuals, 
                more and more masters of this earth – how devastating 
                that attitude and its spread throughout all segments of society. 
                How devastating that attitude has been to the modern world. 

            It seems like never before has there been such immorality, 
                such gross acts of inhumanity enacted by other human beings 
                against those who are supposed to be considered their brothers 
                and sisters. 

            And so the modern world has proved through its 
                dismal failures of various types that apart from God 
                we are helpless and we just make such a mess of things. 
                How can it be otherwise? 

            To live according to that attitude of the world is to deny 
                the very truth of creaturehood – that we are creatures 
                completely dependent upon the Creator. 

            And no matter how hard members of today's world 
                try to make it otherwise, it cannot be, 
                because God has made us this way – 
                completely dependent upon Him. 

            Therefore let us glory in the fact that without Jesus 
                we can do nothing. 

            This should give us such joy and peace, 
                because He is in fact telling us, 
                "With Me you can do all things, 
                anything I ask you to do. 
                And your weakness is not 
                an obstacle to this 
                as long as you do not 
                sinfully give in to it, 
                but build upon your weakness 
                as creatures and more and more 
                draw from My strength. 
                And the more you do that, 
                the more you are united to Me 
                and share in My strength and My might, 
                the more you do for the Kingdom." 

            And what we can do for the Kingdom through 
                this ever growing closer union with Jesus 
                we cannot fully fathom. 

            We literally can touch millions and millions 
                and millions of souls. 

            Therefore let us always take these words to heart 
                and glory in them and realize that they are our peace, 
                our security, our happiness, our self-fulfillment, 
                those words which say, 
            "...for cut off from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)

Jesus speaks:  
                        Feed the hungry!!
                        I want you to reach those that are hungry with
                            My prayers so they will pray them.

                        If it is too costly to send 20,000 prayer manuals
                            to Africa, send sheets of paper with the 
                            prayers on them.

                        There are not Holy Spirit Novena books available
                            because of funds.

                        I want the novena circulated. The Holy Spirit Novena
                            can be printed on a legal sheet of paper.
                        The Prayers of the Prayer Manual can be printed
                            on 8 1/2x11 paper.
                        I want My prayers prayed all over the earth.

                        You do not have funds because you have not
                            reached the nursing homes. You need to
                            circulate the pictures of My image and
                            My Mother's image to the earth. This will
                            help bring in funds and donations.

                         I will not give you funds when there are things
                            that must be done.

                        I want you to reach the Nursing Homes so they will
                            pray and offer their lives up daily in the
                            Morning Offering.

                        Print these cards and make them available to
                            all to circulate to nursing homes and
                            hospitals. They are hungry, you need
                            the world praying more and more, interceding,
                            offering up their days for the priest, the
                            Church and the world.

                        Reach the nursing homes. This message is now
                            6 years old.

                        Please listen to Me.
                        You want it your way.

                        I tell you how you must reach the hungry
                            souls.

                        Communion can be taken to the Nursing homes
                            by lay distributors. 

                        Reach the Nursing Homes.

                        Please help Me. I am Jesus,   I love you

A Note From the President:

We have a video which can be played using the RealPlayer 8 Basic program. This program can be downloaded free of charge from the www.real.com website. Look for the section where free downloads are available and select the RealPlayer 8 Basic program. 

You do not need to stay at the computer while the RealPlayer 8 Basic program or our movie is downloading. The movie takes about 8 MB of disk space. Once you have the movie saved on your hard drive, you can play it over and over with no wait to interested friends or family members.

These photos were captured from the movie which can be downloaded. We started with video footage of Our Lady of Clearwater and video footage of Our Lady of Guadalupe. When I faded from Our Lady of Clearwater to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the video, I was startled and amazed to see how well the two images match up. I believe it is another sign that Our Lady is truly appearing to the children of the Earth on the Mary Image Building in Clearwater, Florida.

This Internet movie is a small sample of scenes from a real VHS video which was directed by our Lord and is available from Shepherds of Christ. Please contact us to obtain a copy of this video. We operate on donations.

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.

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.

Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary.

Note: The above section can be printed out from a PDF file, and you can pray the rosary looking at the pictures.
