When we are baptized our knowing

It is because of baptism we can
understand more deeply the
mystery of God's love —
the mystery of the Trinity —
The mystery of 3 Persons in one God
(Response to God's Love)Etymologically, the word mystery basically means that which is secret or hidden. It was used in a religiously technical sense even before Christianity. Mystery was used, for example, to designate certain religious rites of pagan Hellenism, secret rites that were closed to outsiders unless they had been properly initiated into them. In relation to Egyptian hermeticism, the word mystery was applied to initiation into secret religious ideas or doctrines. 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.
We are so loved by God.
We are to adore, admire and love God.
God wants a very personal relationship
with us.
In the First Blue Book this attracted
people to the letters of Jesus —
His love for this Personal relationship
with Him —
not a God far off —
but One who wants to live in us —
One who gives us His Body and Blood
to eat and drink
One who gives us His Word — a
two-edged sword penetrating heart
and soul — filling us — feeding us
with deeper knowledge of Him
How do we receive the Eucharist —
He comes to us Body, Blood, Soul
and Divinity
How do we let the Word — live more
deeply in us — IN US —
the Word alive in us
Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts
We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.
Let go of hatred, anger, pride —
We need to be empty to be filled
by God —
From our birth we can accumulate
unforgiveness —
We have memories, feelings from
childhood — we
may blame others for our wounds
today —
others who didn't have anything
to do with our pride —
nothing to do with our anger —
and yet we can become victims
of somebody's ill will —
some hatred within them
God is in our graced baptized soul
in a very special way —
The more we are saturated with His
grace the more we feel at
home in the family of God —
The Trinity makes its home
in us —
Look at the beauty — the order
how God created us human
creatures
The beauty of man's eyes
the gift of hearing
the gift of tasting
the gift of our physical heart,
fingers and toes
We can know God in His creation —
human creatures —
animals
trees
flowers
God is the ultimate Perfection
God is all good
God created everything from
nothingness
When we see Jesus healing the
blind — we may see how
truly blind we are and
how pompous in our ways
to think we know so
much — when we have so
much to learn
Man can be so narrow, so
pompous, proud and know
so little
Man knows God more deeply in
recognizing the truth —
he doesn't know it all and
proceeding in humility
God is the ultimate mystery —
we must accept this
God's ways are not our ways —
God is first —
God is omnipotent
God is the "I Am"
We need money for the loan on the
Virgin Mary building —

these were taken when Fr. Carter S.J.
last went to the building —
he died at the end of the second millennium
Fr. Carter S.J. doctorate in theology
got a message to begin the
Priestly Newsletter May 31, 1994
Feast of the Visitation
The First Priestly Newsletter was
sent out to all United States priests
July, 1994.
July 5, 1994 Mary began appearing
to me every day at an old
seminary — now
renovated to Our Lady of the Holy Spirit
Center
My mission since Fr. Carter got the first
message about beginning the
Priestly Newsletter May 31, 1994
was what was finally published
in the Mary Newsletter published
by Fr. John summer 2007.
Fr. Carter wrote of his vision
of this in the Priestly Newsletter —
his 20 page synopsis of the spiritual life —
his masterpiece — that I was to send out in
a little book of his last
Priestly Newsletters on the 10th
anniversary of us being in the
building July 5, 2008
2 1/2 years after Fr. Carter got the
message of Priestly Newsletters
and 2 1/2 years of circulation
December 17, 1996
Mary appeared on the building in
Clearwater, Florida —
On March 22, 1994 after repeated
efforts at the old seminary to spread
the message of the Blue Books and
the Eucharist where
Mary finally appeared
for 14 months daily
the corner of the old seminary
fell off on Lucia's birthday
the main Fatima visionary —
Now look at these events
December 17, 1991 Vision of Sacred Heart on fire
December 17, 1996 Mary appeared on the
building in Clearwater
December 17, 1993 My first message was
published and circulated

Noah's flood
Genesis 7: 11-12
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, and on the seventeenth day of the month, that very day all the springs of the great deep burst through, and the sluices of heaven opened. And heavy rain fell on earth for forty days and forty nights.
17th meetings continued until 13ths -
October 13, 1996 —First 13th — Tom's Farm

Mary's image and Jesus' image
appeared at Clearwater —
Never in the history of the world
such an image
Mary would light when I did
the rosaries of the 5ths
This image was like this 7 1/2 years
Jesus' face
February 5, 2001
is still there
Tremendous healing is given to some
for going to the building
praying to Our Lady of Clearwater
Jesus' well was found next to the
image — healing has happened
from this water —
shipped from the printers |
Mary appeared |
Mary's image head was destroyed
March 1, 2004
After this hurricanes ravaged
the state of Florida
first August 13, 2004
next September 5, 2004
First someone threw acid on
Mary's face
Then Mary's image face was
destroyed March 1, 2004
Then to pay for the Priestly Newsletter
we began selling the Fatima
statues (hand-painted and handmade)
with the precious gift of the
image head
Jesus told me to tell all people to
pray the prayers from the
Prayer Manual
when using the statue
Many reported healing —
1) people returning to the Church
2) spiritual healing
3) physical healing
To those who pray the prayers in the
prayer manual — they become
more deeply united to Jesus and
Mary
Here is a message Fr. Carter got from Jesus
the same month he began to
circulate the first Newsletter
On the Feast of St. Ignatius
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
On October 13, 1994
Fr. Carter got this message
October 13, 1994
The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ
"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:
'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...
'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.
'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'
"Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.
"As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."
- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.
and the summer of 94
Fr. Carter got this message
from Tell My People
Age of The Two Hearts
Jesus speaks: "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.
"After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"
end of excerpt from Tell My People
As co-founder of the Shepherds of Christ Movement
I, Rita Ring, basically got all the other
messages except the
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart
that set up the structure of
the Shepherds of Christ Movement and
these last 8 years the messages
to run it since Fr. Carter's
death
Jesus sent me to Fr. John —
I did not know him —
immediately — 2 million
Newsletters went out and
the response from the
hierarchy regarding our
prayers, the Ministry and
mostly the Priestly Newsletter
On September 6, 2001 we were struggling
with funds and
5 days later the September 11, 2001
mishap occurred
Excerpt from September 6, 2001
Jesus speaks: You must pray for your donors.
I appeared and my mother appeared
for the whole world.
The apparition is not appreciated.
The fact you cannot even make
the rent payment for the
building is proof.
So much money in the world and the
state of Florida.
Look at your news on television.
Look at what the news is on the
television.
MARY HAS APPEARED ON THE
BUILDING FOR 5 YEARS AND
YOU DO NOT EVEN TAKE
NOTICE.
It is not the responsibility of
100
people to support such a
vision.
It is a gift from God.
This shows you the focus of men
and your news.
Your eyes are blind.
I ask today September 6, 2001 to
see Our images and to help
do what We have asked you to do.
These messages are important.
You have ignored Me.
THE PRAYER CARDS, Prayer for Union
with Jesus, Prayer Before
the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, Say
daily card,
morning offering, Shepherds
of Christ
Prayer manuals, Holy Spirit
Novena book,
rosary meditations are gifts
from God.
Messenger: Jesus also said "All materials
used for the school rosary program
printed by B&M have helped the
school children."
Jesus speaks: The Priestly Newsletter is a gift from God.
Because of these prayers your world
is a better place.
If B&M closes and the printing stops -
your world will be affected.
Again I repeat, these revelations and
materials are for the world.
Mary appears the Lady clothed in gold
for the world.
Very, very few are helping to do what I ask.
My movement is to help the priests, the
Church and the world, it is
a gift.
Because of My movement, the world is a
better place.
You will feel the effects if the printing stops.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I speak here.
end of excerpt from September 6, 2001
I implore those being called by Jesus
to recognize the vocation
of helping us keep the building and
circulating the books and the
Priestly Newsletter
It is this network of prayer for the
priests, the Church and the world —
the funds from the members
that have led to this
Fr. Carter, the Founder
Fr. Edward Carter, S.J., (Doctorate in Theology), began the Shepherds of Christ Priestly Newsletter in 1994. We have since circulated 6,000,000 Priestly Newsletters to the hierarchy and the priests in English and Spanish in 14 years since Fr. Carter began it. In a tainted world the Priestly Newsletter is sent to priests to help strengthen and encourage them and show them our love and appreciation for all they do. It is written in the vision of the Father, the voice of the Good Shepherd, it is made up of the Scriptures, writings of the popes, encyclicals, the writings of the hierarchy, the Catechism, the wisdom of the saints and prominent theologians.
Fr. Carter, S.J. sent the Priestly Newsletter every other month to 75,000 priests until the time of his death.
A few words about the retreats —
I have prayed 8 days a month —
4 in China
4 in Florida
most months
These days of retreat
4 in China before the exposed
Eucharist consist in
this
1) singing the scriptures in
the Glory and Praise songs
2) reading the scriptures from
Sunday Masses
3) Singing the Psalms
4) Praying the rosary and reading
the powerful homilies
of Fr. Joe
and Fr. John
Tremendous grace is released for
us, the Movement — the
priests, the Church and the
world
As we sing as one body — so deeply
united
as Mass is celebrated —
God has given us gifts in these
3 priests and their homilies
and writings
Fr. John
Fr. Carter
Fr. Joe
Jesus wants people all over the
world praying the
1) Holy Spirit Novena (4 languages
with Church Imprimatur)
2) Prayers in the Prayer Manual (6 languages)
1) We must have faith
2) Pray for our donors
3) Obey the messages given
The retreats help make reparation to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as
Mary asked for at Fatima
The retreats are to give honor and love
to God whom we love so
very much
The retreats are to pray for our needs
