Messenger:       Satan's grip is paralyzing
                            and crippling.

                        But our mission in the
                            Shepherds of Christ is greater oneness.

                        The devil wants us to
                            focus on ourselves.

                        Jesus gave me this prayer
                            January 17, 1994 the same day
                            I got the message I want
                            My Priests to Come Back.

Messenger:       Here is the prayer we need to pray.

                        Fr. Carter kept a laminated
                            prayer card in his pocket.

Prayer for Union with Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Messenger:       I remember a young priest when we first
                            started in 1994 who was honestly trying to
                            promote the Kingdom and it called the attention
                            of his bishop for his valor in expressing
                            the truth.

                        He wrote to Fr. Carter and me a letter and thanked
                            us for the Prayer for Union with Jesus, for several
                            days he studied the prayer, prayed it constantly
                            and it was his help in such a time of trial.

                        In speaking of times of trial, times when
                            we are filled with fear and focused on
                            ourselves Jesus gives us this special
                            prayer to help us.

Messenger:       We have this prayer in prayer cards with
                            the beautiful Sacred Heart of Jesus
                            picture in English and Spanish.

                        We also have the prayer in French and
                            Portuguese with the Imprimatur.

                        All prayers should have the Imprimatur.

                        Once John and I went on the Internet
                            and found it in Chinese.

                        Fr. Willig who wrote a book about his
                            suffering, a vibrant priest who died
                            at 50 of cancer, had this prayer in his
                            book, English and Spanish. He said
                            how it helped him.

                        When speaking of the gift of these prayers
                            Jesus gave to Fr. Carter and me, two
                            apostles in the movement both dying
                            of cancer listened to the prayer tape
                            of the red book prayers — the prayer manual
                            that Fr. Carter, John and I recorded in
                            English. We were told by their dear ones
                            they listened to it non-stop because it
                            comforted them so.

                            Perfect love — complete oneness —
                                God is so good to us!

Messenger:        I love this scripture in the Holy Spirit
                            Novena Book.

Revelation 3: 1-3, 12, 16-19

'Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; put some resolve into what little vigour you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in your behaviour that my God could possibly call perfect; remember how you first heard the message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you.

Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.

'...but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. You say to yourself: I am rich, I have made a fortune and have everything I want, never realising that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor, and blind and naked too. I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich, and white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness, and ointment to put on your eyes to enable you to see. I reprove and train those whom I love: so repent in real earnest.'

June 4, 2006 message continues

Messenger:        I thought about yesterday's message and it
                            was written on my heart —

                            That ever deeper realization of the scriptures
                                and seeing what Jesus says in the Word —
                                about the Father and the Holy Spirit and Him
                                as in John 16: 7-33
                                and John 14: 15-31.

John 16: 7-33

Still, I am telling you the truth:
it is for your own good that I am going,
because unless I go,
the Paraclete will not come to you;
but if I go,
I will send him to you.
And when he comes,
he will show the world how wrong it was,
about sin,
and about who was in the right,
and about judgement:
about sin:
in that they refuse to believe in me;
about who was in the right:
in that I am going to the Father
and you will see me no more;
about judgement:
in that the prince of this world
    is already condemned.
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you 
    to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking 
    of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
    the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you 
will be taken from what is mine.

In a short time you will no longer see me,
and then a short time later
    you will see me again.

     Then some of his disciples said to one another, ‘What does he mean, "In a short time you will no longer see me, and then a short time later you will see me again," and, "I am going to the Father"? What is this "short time"? We don’t know what he means.’ Jesus knew that they wanted to question him, so he said, ‘You are asking one another what I meant by saying, "In a short time you will no longer see me, and then a short time later you will see me again."

    ‘In all truth I tell you,
     you will be weeping and wailing
     while the world will rejoice;
     you will be sorrowful,
     but your sorrow will turn to joy.
      A woman in childbirth suffers,
     because her time has come;
     but when she has given birth to the child
        she forgets the suffering 
      in her joy that a human being
        has been born into the world.
      So it is with you: you are sad now,
     but I shall see you again,
        and your hearts will be full of joy,
     and that joy no one shall take from you.
      When that day comes,
     you will not ask me any questions.
     In all truth I tell you,
     anything you ask from the Father
     he will grant in my name.
      Until now you have not asked
        anything in my name.
    Ask and you will receive,
    and so your joy will be complete.
     I have been telling you these things
    in veiled language.
    The hour is coming
    when I shall no longer speak to you
        in veiled language
    but tell you about the Father
        in plain words.
     When that day comes 
     you will ask in my name;
     and I do not say
        that I shall pray to the Father for you,
     because the Father himself loves you
     for loving me,
     and believing that I came from God.
      I came from the Father
        and have come into the world
     and now I am leaving the world
        to go to the Father.’

        His disciples said, ‘Now you are speaking plainly and not using veiled language. Now we see that you know everything and need not wait for questions to be put into words; because of this we believe that you came from God.’ Jesus answered them:

     Do you believe at last?
     Listen; the time will come—
         indeed it has come already—
     when you are going to be scattered,
         each going his own way
     and leaving me alone.
     And yet I am not alone,
     because the Father is with me.  
      I have told you all this
     so that you may find peace in me.
     In the world you will have hardship,
     but be courageous:
     I have conquered the world.

 

John 14: 15-31

If you love me,
       you will keep my commandments.
    I shall ask the Father,
    and he will give you another Paraclete
    to be with you for ever,
    the Spirit of truth
    whom the world can never accept
    since it neither sees nor know him;
    but you know him,
    because he is with you, he is in you.
    I shall not leave you orphans;
    I shall come to you.
    In a short time
      the world will no longer see me;
    but you will see that I live
    and you also will live.
    On that day
    you will know that I am in my Father
    and you in me and I in you.
    Whoever holds to my commandments
    and keeps them
    is the one who loves me;
    and whoever loves me
      will be loved by my Father,
    and I shall love him
    and reveal myself to him.'

Judas—not Judas Iscariot—said to him, ‘Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?’ Jesus replied: 

    Anyone who loves me will keep my word, 
    and my Father will love him, 
    and we shall come to him 
    and make a home in him. 
    Anyone who does not love me 
        does not keep my words. 
    And the word that you hear 
        is not my own: 
    it is the word of the Father who sent me. 
    I have said these things to you 
    while still with you; 
    but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, 
    whom the Father will send in my name, 
    will teach you everything 
    and remind you of all I have said to you. 
    Peace I bequeath to you, 
    my own peace I give you, 
    a peace which the world cannot give, 
        this is my gift to you. 
    Do not let your hearts be troubled 
        or afraid. 
    You heard me say: 
    I am going away and shall return. 
    If you loved me you would be glad 
        that I am going to the Father, 
    for the Father is greater than I. 
    I have told you this now, 
        before it happens, 
    so that when it does happen 
        you may believe. 
    I shall not talk to you much longer, 
    because the prince of this world 
        is on his way. 
    He has no power over me, 
    but the world must recognise 
        that I love the Father 
    and that I act 
        just as the Father commanded. 
    Come now, let us go.

Messenger:        The prayer we pray hourly is
                            John 15: 16-17.

John 15: 16-17

You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
so that the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
My command to you
is to love one another.

Messenger:       I love to read John —

                        The Vine and the Branches —
                            so deep is the intimacy
                            God wants with us as
                            it speaks of in
                            John 15
                                the Vine and the Branches

                        Do we think this way in the Church —
                            We need to know the Word and the
                                intimacy pondering these
                                scriptures.

                        God gives us His Flesh and His Blood
                            in the Eucharist.

                        God feeds us with Himself.

                        God nourishes this life He gives
                            us with His Word
                            with the Eucharist.

                        Ponder deeply the oneness of the
                            Trinity —
                            What a mystery —
                            knowing the Persons — Father,
                                Son and Holy Spirit and
                                knowing oneness —

                        Reading especially John and seeing how He
                            describes His relationship
                            with His Father —
                            the importance of the Holy Spirit —

                        I love the Holy Spirit —

                        It is this love that consumes me
                            with fire —
                            The Holy Spirit fills me with the fire
                                of God's love

Acts 2: 1-4

"When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

Messenger:        Read John 17 — slowly —
                            pray for grace to be filled
                            with wisdom —
                            contemplate the reality of the
                                Trinity —
                                3 Persons - One God

                        Then see being consumed for
                            all eternity by this love
                            and knowing God: Father, Son
                            and Holy Spirit and having

                        the fullness of life.

                        Prayer is my weapon —
                        Knowing deeper the love of the Trinity —
                        Loving the Eucharist
                        Loving His Word
                        Loving His gifts in the Church,
                            the priests, in the world.

                        Loving —
                            Seeing with wider vision each
                                precious soul at Mass and loving
                                them so dearly —

                                Loving —

                                Is not Mass an act of loving —
                                The Sacrifice of Calvary made
                                    present in the Mass —

                        I know I can make a spiritual communion
                            and unite to the Mass all day, but I
                            can also read His Word and ponder it.

                        My heart is consumed with love for
                            His precious Word and it penetrates
                            My soul.

                        Here are today's readings —

Acts 2: 1-11

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

    Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. ‘Surely,’ they said, ‘all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; residents of Rome—Jews and proselytes alike—Cretans and Arabs, we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.’

Psalm 104: 1, 24, 29-31, 34

Bless Yahweh, my soul, 
Yahweh, my God, how great you are! 
Clothed in majesty and splendour,

How countless are your works, Yahweh, 
all of them made so wisely! 
The earth is full of your creatures.

Turn away your face and they panic; 
take back their breath and they die 
and revert to dust. 
Send out your breath and life begins; 
you renew the face of the earth. 

Glory to Yahweh for ever! 
May Yahweh find joy in his creatures!

May my musings be pleasing to him, 
for Yahweh gives me joy.
 

1 Corinthians 12: 3-7, 12-13

Because of that, I want to make it quite clear to you that no one who says ‘A curse on Jesus’ can be speaking in the Spirit of God, and nobody is able to say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ except in the Holy Spirit.

There are many different gifts, but it is always the same Spirit; there are many different ways of serving, but it is always the same Lord. There are many different forms of activity, but in everybody it is the same God who is at work in them all. The particular manifestation of the Spirit granted to each one is to be used for the general good.

For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts—all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body—so it is with Christ. We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink.

John 20: 19-23

In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, 'Peace be with you,' and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you.

'As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.'

After saying this he breathed on them and said:

Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone's sins,
they are forgiven;
if you retain anyone's sins,
they are retained.

Messenger:        I beg for God to send His Holy Spirit
                            to us to fill us with fire in our
                            hearts — fire of God's love — loving
                            God and each other.

                                                John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world: 
he gave his only Son, 
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish 
but may have eternal life.

Messenger:            What is there for me to do on this
                        special day of Pentecost, but to focus on
                        God's love for us.

                            I always thought it was so sweet
                        for Jesus to have the charcoal fire for
                        them after they were fishing after the
                        Resurrection.

John 21: 9-14 

    As soon as they came ashore they saw that there was some bread there and a charcoal fire with fish cooking on it. Jesus said, ‘Bring some of the fish you have just caught.’ Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net ashore, full of big fish, one hundred and fifty-three of them; and in spite of there being so many the net was not broken. Jesus said to them ‘Come and have breakfast.’ None of the disciples was bold enough to ask, ‘Who are you?’ They knew quite well it was the Lord. Jesus then stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish. This was the third time that Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.

Messenger:       The scripture is so full of love from Jesus —
                        The great gift of the Last Supper shows
                        the intimacy He wants with us.

Luke 22: 19-20

    Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

Prayer for Priests

    Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

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.

 

 

 

 

Prayer for Union with Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

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.
