Jesus speaks: I
am the bridegroom
of your soul.
I give you Myself in the
Eucharist.
June 11, 2004 continues
Jesus speaks: I want you to love Me —
I want you to purely
give yourself to Me.
Sunday is the feast
of the Precious Body and
Blood —
I LOVE YOU —
I want your love in return —
I am a Person —
I want you to purely love Me.
I want My
religious to be temperate
Don't give into satan.
Be about My work —
Does your drives control
you?
Pray to be holy.
I love you,
I am Jesus.
Your love for Me
comforted Me in
the garden —
June 11, 2004 continues
Messenger:
May the light of Christ fill us.
May His beauty shine on us.
May we be the reflection of God
as He dwells within us.
Oh God I pray for the weary soul.
Our priests are so important —
A soul who is troubled can
find help and forgiveness from
his sins when he goes to confession.
Oh that God would grant us a special
gift of grace to see the wonderfulness
of the sacrament of Penance
and Baptism and the Eucharist
and all the sacraments.
I receive Him, I receive the Divine
God in the Holy Eucharist, He comes
to me — He loves me, He gives me
Himself.
So much Our Lord tells us in the Movement,
we must listen.
Oh Jesus help this retreat to be exactly
as you desire —
Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
help us to be docile —
help us to be humble —
help us to live holy lives.
Some come to Shepherds of Christ to learn what
Jesus says, but Jesus says
this —
Jesus speaks: I
have given you so many gifts through the
Shepherds of Christ Movement —
Many come and take the gifts, but
do not give of themselves in return —
praying for your vocations as a Shepherds of Christ
Apostle, Servant, Handmaid is a
big thing.
Fr. Carter told you he prayed fervently.
for perseverance to his vocation
to be a Jesuit.
Love is doing God's will —
Love to God —
Love to each other —
Messenger:
If we do not do His will —
we are not happy —
serving Him the way He desires
is so important —
Jesus teaches us about love, love from
the heart —
Many times it is a tremendous sacrifice —
more than we can feel we can bear
because the sufferings are so great
or our calling demands personal
sacrifice, but never do we see
anything but what He wants.
A man can be called to the priesthood
and feel he loves someone very
much and be tempted to give up
his calling.
Love can be very deep between people
but it must always be love only
as God desires.
Some people do not follow their vocation
because they give into romantic
encounters.
Jesus speaks:
A young man was called to the priesthood
he knew it — he only felt peace
when
—
he pursued this vocation
—
A young woman in his parish who he thought was
very religious, very beautiful and
he thought acted like the Virgin Mary
came into his life.
He favored thoughts where he would
walk with her, talk with her, hold
her hand etc — these thoughts more
aggressively moved toward deeper
expressions of his love — she was
open to every move he made —
she flirted with him, showed her
talents and too, she entertained
thoughts of marrying him. She knew
he was studying to be a priest, but
she made herself available, she
dressed in special ways to try to
make herself beautiful before him.
She exercised her body, not for health
reasons, but to try to lure him from
his calling to her arms. Everyone at
Church thought she was so beautiful
so holy.
She "wooed" my special young man —
her intentions in her heart was to have
him — she worked all the time for
this —
she attended Mass and her thoughts were
not for the Eucharist, but to look good
for him.
NOTE: Do you remember the 3 classes of men
of St. Ignatius Exercises
— the purity of intention for why
a
person acts — can you see that the
intention for why someone does something
is paramount. This aspect in the spiritual
life must be explored for actions involving
others investigating to oneself the reason
for why they act. What appears to be good
acts done purely may be sinful deeds
done in impurity. A woman trying
to lure another woman's husband may
justify why what she does is okay to her.
She may say oh the wife is always giving
attention to other men and is unfaithful
to her husband and I am helping
him by giving him my love, he is
hurting because the way the wife
treats her husband. She may say to
herself, "poor baby" and move on him
by parading herself before
him with low-cut dresses revealing
big breasts or low-cut pants.
You cannot deny your actions to
Me. Why are you a servant, a
handmaid, a priest, a sister,
a married man, a married woman,
you are committed. Some who were my
priests, sisters etc. began the romantic
involvement with members of the
opposite sex. I am watching you
flirt while you wear My garb.
A religious should not entertain these
thoughts of romantic involvement
with other members.
I am their spouse.
If they loved Me so much they
would be busy about their
love relationship with Me and
not want to offend Me.
Playing with passions when you
are a religious or a married
person is like playing with fire.
The devil can tempt and try to
"rev-up-the-engine".
Staring into one another's eyes would
not be engaged in in romantic
ways with one that is not supposed to according
to God's will if one really wanted to
be faithful to their calling as a
religious, servant, handmaid,
married person.
end of note
This is the story continued of the young
man studying to be a priest and
the woman at Church.
Finally after temptations by the woman,
phone calls, dinners, picnics,
"religious conventions" the man could
not control his drive to have her
as his wife and be with her the rest
of his life.
He left the seminary and asked
her to marry him deciding he just
could not live without her. He gave
in all along, allowing the romance
between him and the woman to develop.
They had a big wedding. In retrospect
you see how she lured him from the
beginning wanting this, she tempted him,
she dressed for him, she thought about
him watching her when she went
to communion — she did the work -
satan wished to drive him from his vocation —
and she did.
As soon as preparations began being
made for the wedding she began flirting
with another seminarian before they
were married, she gave the first man
who left the seminary a hard time —
he gave up his vocation for her and
they weren't married yet and fighting
all the time. She didn't act romantic
and loving she acted cold and didn't
want to meet for lunch or talk on the
phone or hold hands and cuddle.
He thought it was her fear of marriage
and knew he had given up what
he felt God wanted of him —
being a priest for her — so he
endured
the trials telling himself it
would be good again after they married.
She tried to get out of the marriage,
she began standing him up etc —
finally because of pressure from her
family they got married. It was far
worse after the marriage. She didn't
come home some nights. She was mysterious,
she didn't act loving — even on
their
wedding day. After four months they
separated totally — he didn't know
what to do — finally he knew they
had to
be divorced.
She began the same flirtatious ways
luring another good seminarian.
She was very "crafty" how she did it,
she was experienced — her motives
were
not love, her motives were to conquer.
A second seminarian she lured into
her web.
The devil is the father of lies. If a
religious sister is there in her vocation
for her own vain glory, not for the honor
and glory of God — she has impure
intentions.
Satan works in relationships through
passions, envy, pride, jealousy.
He can work majorly on two peoples
passions to effect sound judgment.
You have control over your drives —
You must pray for grace to be
prudent, to have fortitude, to be
temperate.
Religious should not give into thoughts
of having romantic relationships with
people of the opposite-sex, same-sex
whatever it is.
Masturbation is definitely not permitted in
the life of a religious. A person
sexually-active with themselves can
be a problem in a community.
Temperance is a virtue. Living
according to My will.
A person serious about their religious vocation,
does not have to get romantic involvement
with others. They love Me so deeply,
they live this deep spousal union
with Me.
I call My religious to a special commitment
to Me. I am your husband. You are
being unfaithful to Me when you allow
satan to tempt you through
sins of the flesh.
You give yourself to Me. A woman
or man married are not permitted
to have promiscuous affairs with
others, they are married to one man
and one woman.
The Ten Commandments
I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.
June 11, 2004 continues
Jesus speaks:
Flirting, looking into each others
eyes, romantically for religious, favoring
thoughts of romantic involvement with
another is not proper for
religious.
Oh how My precious religious
comforted Me during My bitter passion
with their gifts of love and gift of themselves
purely given in celibacy
June 11, 2004 continues
Jesus speaks: Satan works in passions.
He tempts people —
He wants you to hold hands and look
into each others eyes and
be romantic so he can
lure you into deeper
involvement.
You must pray for perseverance to
your vocation — every day
Fr. Carter said
"What have I done for Christ?"
"What am I doing for Christ?"
"What ought I to do for Christ?"

CONSECRATE YOUR HOMES AND OUR FAMILIES
On May 29,
2004 Vigil of Pentecost a wonderful Jesuit priest, with a
doctors in theology accepted the post to edit the Priestly
Newsletter. On Thursday we received this picture at 6:20
as we began the Holy Spirit prayers.
June 1, 2004 message continues
Messenger: We have prayed continually this prayer
Prayer for the spiritual and financial success
of the priestly newsletter."Father, we ask Your special blessings upon the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. We ask that You open the priest-readers to the graces You wish to give them through this chosen instrument of Your Son. We also ask that You provide for the financial needs of the newsletter and the Shepherds of Christ Associates. We make our prayer through Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary at our side. Amen"
June 1, 2004 message continues
Messenger: The Newsletter is the #1 reason for the Movement and coequally
prayer chapters for the priests.
He will begin the newsletter immediately funds are needed for this.
Here is the original plan to Fr. Carter to finance the Newsletter from the
Spiritual Handbook.
Excerpt from the Spirituality Handbook
by Father Carter2
Chapter Guidelines for Shepherds of Christ Associates
- A primary purpose of the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates is to pray for all priests throughout the world in all their needs. A coequal purpose is to provide a spiritual way of life for members of the chapters. The chapters are to pray in a special way for the spiritual success of the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. Prayer for the acquisition of monetary funds to publish the letter is also in order. The chapters are to meet on a regular basis, with the members of each chapter to determine the exact frequency of meetings. All chapters are encouraged to meet on a weekly basis. If for various other reasons certain chapters cannot meet weekly, they should meet at least once a month.
- All persons--lay persons, diocesan clergy, and priests, brothers, and sisters in religious life--are invited to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. Those who are already committed to a certain way of spiritual life may adapt the spirituality of Shepherds of Christ Associates to their own particular spirituality.
- In addition to the purpose of the chapters as put forth above, the members of each chapter are encouraged to help raise money to defray some of the newsletter publication costs and some of the financial needs of the Shepherds of Christ Associates movement. One way for chapters to financially aid the newsletter is to pledge to pay for a certain number of newsletters each year. Our Lord has asked that the newsletter be sent to the priests free of charge, although donations may be requested in the newsletter itself.
- A further purpose of the chapters is to undertake those activities which Jesus, through the Spiritual Director, further reveals to be His will.
- The formation of as many chapters as is reasonably possible is to be encouraged. Multiple chapters may exist in the same city or area. Each chapter is to have its own local coordinator, and each country its own national coordinator.
- A periodic newsletter for associates will be published to help establish the desired bond or union between all chapters and all members.
- Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates pledge their loyal support to the Holy Father, the Pope, and to the teaching authority of the Church.
- Shepherds of Christ Associates exists under Church law as provided in canons 298 and 299.
- The existence and activity of all chapters is to be placed under the special protection and guidance of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Chapters exist so that they may, according to the mission of Shepherds of Christ Associates, help to establish the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. All chapter members are strongly encouraged to consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
