Fr. Carter 50 years: Response in Christ

    The Response in Christ book written by Fr. Carter was written after he received his doctorate almost 50 years ago. Fr. Carter on June 10, 2012 would have been a priest 50 years. The Response in Christ book is such a profound writing, synopsis of the spiritual life. Here is an excerpt of the 3 stages of the Church —

 

Relationship with Members of the Church  from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

  

    This book Response in Christ was so important it was translated in a least 3 languages.

The Mass Book: The Shepherds of Christ and Fatima and the Priest

    The Mass Book was really a collection of messages given by Jesus and Mary to me telling the tremendous role of the priest in God's Plan and the need for prayer and consecration as Jesus told Fr. Carter to His heart and Mary's Heart. The Mass Book is Jesus' Plan so that the Church in becoming more and more intimately united to God and loving the Mass, being united to each other as members of the mystical body of Christ, united to the Mass all day, in all we do and being one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Our Family of Prayer Chapters in Shepherds of Christ

1 Corinthians 3: 9-13, 16-17

After all, we do share in God’s work; you are God’s farm, God’s building.

By the grace of God which was given to me, I laid the foundations like a trained master–builder, and someone else is building on them. Now each one must be careful how he does the building. For nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already, namely Jesus Christ. On this foundation, different people may build in gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw but each person’s handiwork will be shown for what it is. The Day which dawns in fire will make it clear and the fire itself will test the quality of each person’s work.

Do you not realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God living in you? If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy; and you are that temple. 
 

    Here is a message Jesus gave to Fr. Carter 18 years ago.

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."

    We are happy to write to you to tell you we have done what Jesus asked these 18 years with your prayers and your financial help. We are a team — as members and leaders and donors of the Shepherds of Christ — we form the Shepherds of Christ family — loving God — loving our Church — loving our priests — loving each other — working hard to answer this message of Jesus to our Founder, Fr. Carter 18 years ago.

The Word and the Eucharist are the Bread of Life

    We sent Cardinal George a little sample book of Fr. Joe's Robinson's homilies (my brother) — 5 books ago. Cardinal George who supported Fr. Carter's writings of the Priestly Newsletter - wrote me and told me to send Fr. Joe's homilies to the priests.

       

    We have done this now for 5 years. This year, so far we have sent Fr. Joe's homily books to all priests in the United States, to use weekly, that is about 32,000 priests since the end of November, 2011. The Word and the Eucharist are the Bread of Life!!

    Please pray for the spread of these books and prayer chapters all over the world - dedicated to consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and giving great devotion to these most precious and holy Hearts.

The Two Hearts and Fatima

    Our Lord has promised us, to those who pray the prayers in the prayer manual — "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." Mary said at Fatima that Bishops need to consecrate their dioceses to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart!

The Fountain of Life

    We are so gifted. The Church was born through the pierced Heart of Jesus. Blood and water poured out from Hs pierced Heart, Water for Baptism, Blood for the Eucharist. The Church in having great devotion to His Sacred Heart and Mary's Immaculate Heart can help make reparation to these two most precious Hearts. Mary asked for this at Fatima in order to have peace in the world.

    Oh this fountain of His life - given to us in the Church through the hands of His precious priests!

The Indwelling of the Trinity and the Life of Grace

    Our lives are to be lived in this deeper interior life - of every moment - so one with Father, Son and Holy Spirit who dwell in a special way in our graced baptized soul. To be fed by His Word and the Eucharist at Mass and adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

    I see it this way — our lives are this preparation for the beatific vision — the fullness of life — our unity with Father, Son and Holy Spirit for all eternity — but our relationship grows every moment of our lives as I am one in my heart more and more with Father, Son and Holy Spirit — so wrapped in Their love - growing in that oneness as St. Paul says
 

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

Fr. Pasquini

    Jesus sent me to Fr. Pasquini and asked him to continue the Priestly Newsletter. Fr. Pasquini wrote 9 Priestly Newsletters — We sent these and 5 titles of his books to the Vatican and all Bishops and Cardinals and the Pope. They put his books in the Vatican library and Cardinal Poupard President then of Vatican endorsed His Book Ecce Fides.
 
 

Ecce Fides: Pillar of Truth

INTRODUCTION

by His Eminence Paul Cardinal Poupard

    Of vital importance for evangelization is an awareness of the cultures in which people live, shape their thinking, develop their lifestyles, and seek to grow in their humanity. In our task of spreading the Good News we are called on to read the signs of the times and renew the way we participate in the Church’s evangelizing mission, adapting to the new situations emerging in our continually changing cultures. But as cultures and currents of thought are fickle, changing under influences both good and bad, it is important for us to remain focused on the fullness of our faith if we are to carry out our mission as Christians, the great commandment to go out and preach the good news to all the peoples. Our faith, revealed in biblical culture, further understood through 2000 years of changing cultures, remains our response to the same Good News, the Gospel, the story of salvation in which God sent his Son to redeem the world through his birth, death, and resurrection. Through the Church, the bride of Christ, his light shines visibly to all men; by the power of the Spirit, in the sacraments instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, we can be healed and transformed, conformed to the same Son of God in preparation for eternal life. This is the truth we need to hear, meet, interiorize, and live out in conversion to God’s own Divine will.

    The Church is the custodian of the Good News and is also described by my patron, St Paul, in his letter to Timothy, as the pillar of truth, the subtitle of this useful catechetical book. The same Apostle to the gentiles took his missionary zeal from his awareness that ours is not a faith limited to its Hebrew roots, but contains within it a zeal to engage in a dynamic and salvific encounter with all cultures, for, as John Paul II would later proclaim magisterially, “a faith that does not become culture, is a faith which is not fully thought through, not truly lived out and not faithfully lived” (John Paul II, Letter creating the Pontifical Council for Culture, 20 May 1982). The Church is also expert in humanity, it safeguards the truth, not as a treasure hidden under a lampshade or in a bushel, but as an announcement for all humanity. Contrary to the characteristics of many sects and new alternative religions springing up today, the Church’s essential truth is no secret, but a series of historical events that we need to proclaim in a way our contemporaries can access, ad modum recipientis as I was taught in seminary. We seek to hand this faith on to new generations with new energy, new ardour, and daring a new creativity in charity (cf. Novo Millennio Ineunte). And let us add, with a word characterizing Benedict XVI’s Pontificate, joyfully.

    Following the paradigm of the Incarnation, wherein God became Man for our sake, the light of truth, takes on the form and fullness of cultures, not to glory in its sinful nature, but to transform them anew in order to reconcile men with each other, recreating them in the image and likeness of the new Adam. The meeting between the one faith and the many cultures is fundamentally at the service of this new Christian humanism, which is why “the split between the Gospel and culture is the drama of our times” as Pope Paul VI stated in the Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Nuntiandi 1975. Pope John Paul II also described how “the future of man depends on culture”, which is not mere neutral context, but the battleground for the new evangelization. He set out our task thus: “In fact, we have to reach out to people where they are, with their worries and questions, to help them find the moral and spiritual landmarks they need to live lives worthy of our specific vocation, and to find in Christ’s call the hope that does not disappoint (cf. Rom 5,5), as we follow the method used by the Apostle Paul at the Areopagus in Athens (Acts 17, 22-34).” (Discourse to the Plenary Assembly of the Pontifical Council for Culture, 16 March 2002).

    In Europe we have noticed a resurgence in interest in religious matters in the public sphere, but sadly this has coincided with a spread of religious ignorance. This has led to a new thirst that is more spiritual than religious, by which I mean that people are seeking something beyond materialism, but without engaging with the reality of the Church, ecclesial traditions, and the historical events to which She witnesses, the very ways God has chosen to reveal Himself and transform us. This is also a time in which sociologists speak of a disaffection with institutions and the phenomenon of believing without belonging, the sort of insipid relativist belief that shirks the challenge of objective truth (see my work, Where is your God? Chicago 2004). I note too how many western cultures are invaded by consumerism and individualism, trends that through globalization are spreading throughout the world. So it is important that as Church, as family, sustaining each other, and, in particular, praying for each other as the Association Shepherds of Christ does, that we return to the source of life, our faith, which is usefully exposed in this volume, and take it out to our contemporaries, evangelizing them and their cultures and inculturating the Gospel, with the humility to remember that it is the Holy Spirit who is the principle agent of the new evangelization. Let all who thirst come to the water and find a water that is truly satisfying!

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."

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
 

    (1) We hope Bishops consecrate their dioceses to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and spread this devotion as Mary asked for at Fatima.

    (2) The more people consecrate themselves, their homes, the schools, the Churches and all places to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, the more we will go to the period of peace Mary promised at Fatima.  

"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)   Our Lady's Peace Plan

    This is our legacy to begin these prayer chapters, praying for the priests, the Church and the world and spreading this devotion in families with statues with glass. So the family that does this will continue this when we are gone.

    Thank you for your response. We pray for you and your families 8-10 days a month.

Rita Ring, co-founder

Over 20 Years Ago

December 17, 1991Picture of Jesus' Heart on fire.

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

    I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these lettersto draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

    "Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

Excerpt from Blue Book 7

 
June 23, 1995

Sorrowful Rosary on Feast of the Sacred Heart

Before the Blessed Sacrament

The Sorrowful Mysteries

 

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: I knock at the door of your heart, and I bid you to let Me come in.

R. Put yourself in the presence of the Almighty God and feel this presence so deep within your soul. Make a spiritual communion.

Jesus: Focus on My presence with you at this moment.

R. Deeply, the presence of the Almighty God is here and in this room before the exposed Eucharist. The same Jesus that walked the earth, the same Jesus that hung on the cross, the same Jesus that was carried in the womb of His Mother, is in this room, truly present in the consecrated host. The busy world goes on around us as we hear the rumble of the cars, and within this church, the Son of God is present no less present than the day He walked on the earth two thousand years ago. And we sit here and we soak in the rays, the rays of His life that He is imparting to us. Special gifts given to us for coming and being with Him. The Almighty God, how can we be in the presence of the Almighty God in His Divinity and humanity and not receive special gifts, special graces, a saturation in our soul of His life in us and the gift of His Divine Love. Let our hearts burn within us as we realize more and more through this rosary that God is here and giving us great gifts.

2. R. Put aside all of the distractions in your world. As if He has lifted the veil and you are on the other side, there is only a conscientiousness of those things of God. The world ceases to be around you and you are taken into the sanctuaries of His Heart and there He will speak to you and tell you of His immense love poured out through His Most Sacred Heart, poured out into your heart and into your soul.

Jesus: I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and I am giving to you abundant graces to grow more and more in your life with Me. Release yourself and come away with Me. Let go of any distraction that is in your mind and listen to My words of love that I am speaking to you.

3. Jesus: Be alone with Me in the garden. Kneel there next to Me. Do you hear the sounds of the night? Do you think of the coldness? My apostles, they slept. My dear one, will you comfort My Heart this day for all those who have forgotten, who treat Me indifferently in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, My sacrament of greatest love. On this, My feast, the Feast of the Sacred Heart will you open wide your heart and pour out your love to Me. I long and thirst for this love. I knelt all alone in the garden and My Heart was in such anguish for all the souls that would reject Me and forget Me.

4. Jesus: My greatest agonies were not the agonies that I suffered to My body, My dear ones, but they were the agonies that I felt to My Heart. My Heart longing and thirsting for the love of My precious souls, these were the greatest agonies. I would have suffered more, more wounds, more bleeding for love of you.

5. Jesus: You My faithful ones, you have answered the call, the call that I have made to come and to be with Me. I am truly the Son of God and truly present here. You have come and answered this call.

6. Jesus: I allow you My dear ones to hear My voice and to hear My pleading, for I am God and I wait behind the tabernacle doors in the churches of this world, waiting and longing and thirsting for My precious ones to come and they have forgotten.

7. Jesus: The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the sacrament of My greatest love for men, I remain with you this day. I remain in the consecrated Host, no less present than the day I walked this earth. My agony so great in the garden that My sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground, to see before Me all the souls that would be condemned to the fires of hell, despite My suffering and My death. My dear ones, it is your love that you give to Me today that comforted My Heart in the Garden. As I suffered such agony I was comforted by your acts of love given to Me this very night.

8. Jesus: Make reparation to My Heart My dear ones. Come and be alone with Me, I am a God with such love.

9. Jesus: I love, I love, I love. I bid you to open the door to your heart and come away with Me My beloved one. Release yourselves and pray for a special grace to be taken deeper and deeper into My Heart.

10. Song: O Burning Heart, O love Divine, how sweet you are to me. I see the host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. R. They seized Jesus, and they led Him away and tied Him bound to the pillar. See Jesus as He surrenders and gives so willingly. Think of how we are today, how we are given crosses to draw us closer to Him and how we fight these crosses. Jesus came to show us the way. I see all through His passion the lack of resistance. He knew it was the Father's will that He be taken and scourged at the pillar, that He was crowned with thorns, that He died on the cross. There was not resistance in His actions. He complied willingly. Think of ourselves, how we resist even things that we know that will bring us to greater life with God. We fight. It is only in complying to the will of the Father, in following His plan that we will have peace and joy in our hearts.

2. Jesus: My Heart is burning and on fire for love of you, burning My dear one. What can I say? How can I tell you, more of My infinite love? You in your feeble mind can not comprehend even the smallest amount of this infinite love. Yet through the grace that I give to you, you delve deeper and deeper into the immenseness of the love I have for you. Release yourselves. Take all of the walls down from around your heart. I truly died and gave My life for you. Can you not trust Me, your God, who went to the slaughter, the little lamb led to the slaughter, covered with Blood, and He gave His last breath. Will you not surrender and let Me fill you with My grace. Come deeply into My Heart. I am Jesus. It is in your surrender that you will know more and more the mystery of My love for you.

3. R. I meditate being with Jesus, seeing Him scourged. They took their instruments and beat Him and tore His flesh. I want to be beside Jesus and comfort His Heart for all the souls that have forgotten, when He suffered so much for love of us. I want to be with Jesus for all the times that I have chosen others things before Him and He waited patiently and lovingly and unconditionally for me to return to Him. Jesus, Jesus, my love, help me to love You more and more.

4. R. Meditation: I see before me a man tied to the pillar, His body unmarred, and I see men striking Him with instruments that tore deeply into His flesh, and made Him bleed. The wounds, the wounds that are so wide and open, wounds far beyond our comprehension, so deep. So vile the deeds of these men. I meditate on this, being there with Jesus, I envision Jesus this way. How could I help but love Him deeply for He suffered for me, He suffered for my sins. He suffered and He died that I might share in His life today. He gives me an abundant sharing in His life. I sit before the exposed Eucharist. I know His love so deeply. The Almighty God is here in this room. If He removed the veil we could scarcely see. The world is blind, the world does not see. The ball games are packed and everyone is attentive to all of the functions of this world, and the Son of God waits and waits out of greatest love in an empty church. The same Jesus that was scourged at the pillar is here present in the consecrated Host and we do not see.

5. Jesus: My Heart, My dear one, is an endless abyss of burning love. Do you see My Heart? Do you see it open and on fire for love of you? Picture in your mind, My hand to the side of My heart as I expose to you, My Sacred Heart, on fire for love of you.

6. Jesus: Carry this picture with you in your mind. My hands on either side of My Heart and My Heart ablaze, surrounded by burning, beaming light of white and yellow hues...on fire for you.

7. Jesus: It is this burning love, this is the reason I surrendered without resistance as they tore My flesh and beat Me. This is burning love, for when you love, truly love, you give. You do not count the cost, you give. I love you My dear one, with the most perfect love. I am love. I gave My all for love of you.

8. R. Think of the little wounds you receive on your body, and think of the gaping wounds on Jesus' body.

9. R. He came to show us the way. He came, He gave His all. He died on the cross that we would have life abundantly. He imparts to us this sharing in His life. He gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. He feeds this life with Himself in the Eucharist, as we sit here in front of the exposed Eucharist. The more we are saturated in this life, the more deeply we know Him. God feeds us with the Bread of Life, the Eucharist and His Word.

Jesus says: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive.

10. R. His love is not a lip-service love, it is the love that He gave His Flesh and His Blood, that He was scourged mercilessly at the pillar. This is the love that He has and the love He wants from us, our hearts that are on fire for love of Him. So that when we hear the Word of God we are filled. The love of which He speaks is beyond our comprehension. It is an inexhaustible source. He wants deeper and deeper and deeper love, so that when we receive Him in the Eucharist we scarce can breath to receive the Almighty God within our being.

Song: Come give us life abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

 

The Crowning with Thorns

1. R. Meditation: Envision the thorns pounded into Jesus' precious head. You see Jesus sit there. Jesus does not resist what they are doing to Him. They spit on Him and holler at Him and He accepts all that they give to Him.

2. R. He shed His Blood for us.

3. R. The thorns pressed deeply into His skull. Think of this, think of what a pin prick feels like. Can you imagine what it is like to have thorns pounded into your skull around your entire head? Jesus, thank You for wearing this crown for love of me.

4. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns

5. R. Crown of thorns.

6. Jesus: My dear one, if you follow Me you will walk the road of persecution and ridicule. I am Jesus, the Almighty God, they crowned Me with thorns and beat My body.

7. Jesus: Think of the pressing down of the thorns on My head. Think of the wounds in My body, wide, open, deep wounds. They covered Me with a purple robe and the wounds burned under the cloak. My greatest agonies were not the agonies I suffered to My body, you look at My body and you see My wounds, and you know a little of the suffering and pain but how do you measure the wounds of the heart? My Heart, an endless fountain of burning love for My precious souls. Look at your world this day, see the sin and the violence. See the mothers that kill the baby within their womb, the precious life created by My Father and they take into their own hands the life of this child. My dear one, I suffered for the sin of men and I ask you this day in this world that is filled with sin to pray the prayers I gave Fr. Carter in the prayer manual to take this vocation seriously. Many have turned their hearts away from God. I ask you to be the light that shines in the dark night, for I am giving to you great graces. I am outpouring My life in your graced baptized soul. I am, My dear ones, giving you the courage to go into this world and to spread the Gospel, to stand firm for souls are at stake. See a soul, at the point of death, about to be in heaven, purgatory or hell. My dear one, you are preaching My love to this world by how you are in your heart. Let Me be one in you, let your every action be one in which you live in Me and through Me and with Me. I will touch this hurting world through you. Life is so short, the dropping of a pin and the batting of an eye and I call out to you this day. If you hear the sound of My voice, you know that I, God am speaking to you. I am telling you, this is a state of urgency. Look at the little children that are being taught such vileness. Will you not come to My Heart this day and give Me great love on this My feast? This is a gift of your heart. Surrender, go out and carry My love into this world. You are My light that will shine in the darkest night for you are powered by the Almighty God and filled with His life. You are My soldiers, soldiers I send into this world fortified with hearts filled with My love.

8. Song: Come give us life abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

9. Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

     At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

10. Hail Mary

 
 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. We know the presence of the Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in our graced baptized soul. Where Jesus is so are the Father and Holy Spirit. The Trinity is 3 Persons in one God, a mystery. Know the presence of God here with each of us in our graced baptized soul. Let go and let Him work within your heart.

2. R. Satan has created so much confusion and doubt in this world. He is dividing families, dividing churches, dividing prayer groups. He aims at the priesthood in the Catholic Church. The more that we work to spread the love of God, the more satan is there to create division, confusion, doubt, hatred and anger between people that are to love God. If satan presses on people to cause confusion then we can not focus as well on the job at hand, which is to spread the burning love of the Heart of Jesus. Come to the tabernacle and be saturated with His life and His love. Pray to the Spirit to fill us with the courage to go out as the apostles did and to spread this love. This is our cross this day, to know the love of Jesus and to see the world that is suffering and in pain. The more we work, the more we are met with road blocks, but the more we come to the tabernacle we are lifted high up and He helps us. We are saturated with His life, and it is His life operating within us that helps us do His work and solve difficulties.

3. Jesus: To spread the love of God to this world My dear ones, you must be filled with the love of God in your hearts. The crosses that you carry this day, as you work may make it seem hard to spread this love, I am leading you to greater life in Me. Carry your cross without resistance. Carry your cross and know that at every second I am with you and I am guarding you and leading you on your way. I will never abandon you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and you My dear ones, are doing My work.

4. Jesus: I am Jesus. I am Jesus. I am Jesus. I am alive. I live in your heart. I am truly present in the Eucharist no less present than the day I walked this earth and you are given great gifts at this very moment. Surrender and know the presence of the Almighty God.

5. Jesus: You can deeply experience Me in the interior union, in your heart. Let go and let Me fill you with My grace. It is in a oneness that you know within you. Reach with your heart and your soul. Come to the Eucharist and be joined deeply in this oneness with Me.

6. Jesus: Come to the Mass. Unite in the celebration the Mass with your whole heart, with fervor, with devotion. Meditate My dear ones, on My life. Know that I am present. Focus on My presence with you at every moment.

R. See in the Mass, see Jesus in the priest, the priest who is celebrating the Mass, as he changes bread and wine into the Body and Blood, of Christ.

7. Jesus: I carried the cross on My back. My whole body was wounded and bleeding. My head was crowned with thorns. This is the love, I have for you. Can you not come to the Mass and pray so deeply in purity and love. Every minute that you are there pray from deep within your heart and pray for grace to unite more fully in the sacrifice of the Mass. It is there My dear ones, that I am giving you great graces, this abundant outpouring of My life.

8. Jesus: Veronica wiped My face with a cloth and it was covered with sweat and blood. I gave Myself for love of you. Will you pray with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole mind? I do not call you to a conversation about love. I call you to love from your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole being.

9. Jesus: I am Jesus, the Son of God. I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me.

10. R. From this relationship with Me you will know a life that you never deemed possible, I will live abundantly in you. Your life is a journey at Baptism until you, My beloved ones, are taken into heaven.

 

The Crucifixion

1. Jesus: Read the scriptures My dear ones. Read the scriptures with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole being.

2. Jesus: It is there I speak to you. The Word and the Eucharist is the Bread of Life. If you read one passage from one of the Gospels, you will be brought back to your focus of Me.

3. Jesus: I hung on the cross for three agonizing hours. My Mother stood beneath the cross. This is the love that I have for you, that I gave My life, I gave My Flesh and My Blood. I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me.

4. Jesus: Will you help make reparation to My Heart for the souls that have forgotten God?

5. Jesus: Will you help make reparation to My Heart for the indifferences, negligences, and sacrileges committed against Me in the Blessed Sacrament?

6. Jesus: Will you let go each day and consecrate your heart to My Heart and My Mother's heart? It is through her Immaculate Heart that you are lead deeper and deeper into My Heart.

7. Jesus: As I was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, you are formed in the spiritual womb, the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit to be more and more in the image of God as the Father intended you to be. It is through Mary's Immaculate Heart that you will be led to deeper and deeper union and love with Me.

8. Jesus: My dear ones, consecrate your hearts each day to My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. Make this a consecration to Our Two Hearts this day, every day of your life. As you eat and as you sleep that you will give your hearts to My Sacred Heart through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

9. Song: I Love You Jesus

10. Jesus: The plan of the Father is unfolding. This is to help in the completion of Fatima message. My dear ones, My Sacred Heart will Reign and My Mother's Immaculate Heart will triumph and there will be this great era of peace Mary promised at Fatima, but many souls will be lost to the fires of hell. I call you to go out into this world to be an example, to spread the love of God that is deep within your hearts. It will radiate from your being. You must come to Me and be joined in deepest union with My Heart. Put yourself in the Heart of My Mother and rest as a little child in her Heart. Ask her to take you into My Heart. There you will dwell and feel secure against the wind and the storm. I am Jesus, I call out to you this day. You are so important to the Father's plan. Each one of you uniquely created by the Father. Will you answer the call of God the Father? Will you open your heart and join in deepest union with My Heart? All will work if you busy yourself about our love affair. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire for love of you.

  
  

June 26, 1995

The Pain - Naples, Florida

R. He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.

His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.

All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.

All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members.

The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.

A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.

Jesus: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh.

What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?

My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.

To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.

The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.

An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.

Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.

My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.

The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body.

The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.

You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings.

Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of thorns.

This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for and this is their return.

A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.

You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men.

All functions in the body were stopped.

The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.

R. All signals that carried messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender His flesh.

Jesus: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your spirit.

R. Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.

Jesus: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass.

An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.

You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.

R. Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.

Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.

And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a message of love to one another.

The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head.

They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ.

My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.

Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love that are not being transmitted.

Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire for love of God.

You have ignored the importance of these letters.

I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world.

My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these letters.

The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.

I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world.

Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church.

You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to the Church and this world.

My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.

The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.

Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.

I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it stop.

Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

end of the pain

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
