The Novena Rosary Mysteries |
Retreat in China, Indiana
There will be priests there everyday saying Mass.
June 13, 2004 to June 19, 2004
June 7, 2004
Jesus speaks:
A person in the last years of life
can be touched majorly through
the video I have given to you, Our Lady
of Clearwater.
Words from an elderly man: I was
shown a video of the Lady of Clearwater
so beautiful and glistening in the sun.
After years of bitterness, my heart
was touched and my focus changed.
I know Our Lady was appearing
for me to pray for the priests,
the Church and the world.
When I am now angry I pray
the Hail Marys and meditate
on the mysteries of the rosary.
Mary speaks:
This is a letter I have given to
you from one of my sons.
Some elderly have eyes better than
others and can work on my rosaries
for the school children.
My Son Jesus has given to the elderly
and to all, the voice of His beloved
priest-son Father Carter praying the prayers,
the 6:20 prayers, yellow book, red book.
Many elderly can be consoled and
feel a great sense of mission as they
pray with Father Carter on the tape or
the disc.
My beloved Kathleen has taken the
Mass video
of Father Mike to
the Nursing home and brought
the gift of the Eucharist to the elderly
there able to receive.
Here is a letter from an elderly
lady:
It was very difficult in the long
months of not knowing my disease.
I was in my 80's now and felt the
life flow from me daily. I know
something was attacking my body.
I was a nurse in the army. All my
life I used these nursing skills
and yet day by day, week by
week, month by month, I became
weaker, sicker, and confined to
my home. The medical profession
I once loved and served seemed
they could not help me. I had a
small tape recorder by my bed
and I played it constantly with
the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ
let by the soft and consoling
voice of Fr. Carter.
I further watched the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass video celebrated by Fr.
Mike. You do not know the joy this
video gave to me as I sang the
songs, the song I loved, the
Song from Jesus and the Songs of
the Mass.
It is difficult to go through
chemotherapy. For me I was sick
and when I looked in the mirror
I looked like another person.
I felt trapped in my body
and my body was deteriorating
and filled with pain.
I speak to you that you would
share these gifts with others that
are suffering from cancer and terminal
illnesses, the Shepherds of Christ way of life
is getting me through in these
most difficult days.
Mary speaks: I
give to you a letter from
Father Carter as he may wish
to speak to you now.
"I loved the ministry, Shepherds of Christ
that God gave to us. In those last
days, I gave my all to my death,
discerning the messages Jesus gave
to Rita. I told you when I was
alive that I believed the Shepherds of Christ
Movement would go down as one
of the greatest Movements for
renewal of the Church and the world.
The Priestly Newsletter and the
Prayer chapters are the main
reason for the Movement. I ask
you to support these.
Given to Father Carter
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."

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ
Messenger: The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.
Mary speaks: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.
I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

Jesus speaks: Ten years
after the message
given to begin the priestly newsletter
I have given to you another holy
priest to continue this most
needed work. Reviewing for you
I give you the words of your
founder Father Carter.
Excerpt from the Spirituality Handbook
by Father Carter2
Chapter Guidelines for Shepherds of Christ Associates
- A primary purpose of the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates is to pray for all priests throughout the world in all their needs. A coequal purpose is to provide a spiritual way of life for members of the chapters. The chapters are to pray in a special way for the spiritual success of the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. Prayer for the acquisition of monetary funds to publish the letter is also in order. The chapters are to meet on a regular basis, with the members of each chapter to determine the exact frequency of meetings. All chapters are encouraged to meet on a weekly basis. If for various other reasons certain chapters cannot meet weekly, they should meet at least once a month.
- All persons--lay persons, diocesan clergy, and priests, brothers, and sisters in religious life--are invited to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. Those who are already committed to a certain way of spiritual life may adapt the spirituality of Shepherds of Christ Associates to their own particular spirituality.
- In addition to the purpose of the chapters as put forth above, the members of each chapter are encouraged to help raise money to defray some of the newsletter publication costs and some of the financial needs of the Shepherds of Christ Associates movement. One way for chapters to financially aid the newsletter is to pledge to pay for a certain number of newsletters each year. Our Lord has asked that the newsletter be sent to the priests free of charge, although donations may be requested in the newsletter itself.
- A further purpose of the chapters is to undertake those activities which Jesus, through the Spiritual Director, further reveals to be His will.
- The formation of as many chapters as is reasonably possible is to be encouraged. Multiple chapters may exist in the same city or area. Each chapter is to have its own local coordinator, and each country its own national coordinator.
- A periodic newsletter for associates will be published to help establish the desired bond or union between all chapters and all members.
- Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates pledge their loyal support to the Holy Father, the Pope, and to the teaching authority of the Church.
- Shepherds of Christ Associates exists under Church law as provided in canons 298 and 299.
- The existence and activity of all chapters is to be placed under the special protection and guidance of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Chapters exist so that they may, according to the mission of Shepherds of Christ Associates, help to establish the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. All chapter members are strongly encouraged to consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Jesus speaks:
It was My intention from the
beginning that there were many
associates in the Shepherds of Christ Movement
and that they would support the
Priestly Newsletter and pray for this
with this prayer I gave to Fr. Carter.
Prayer for the spiritual and financial success
of the priestly newsletter."Father, we ask Your special blessings upon the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. We ask that You open the priest-readers to the graces You wish to give them through this chosen instrument of Your Son. We also ask that You provide for the financial needs of the newsletter and the Shepherds of Christ Associates. We make our prayer through Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary at our side. Amen"

Mary speaks: My children
My face no longer appears on the
building. They threw acid on
my image. They destroyed the
panels of my head.
But my Son Jesus gave to
you these Nursing Home videos
and many other videos of the
day and night.
I want this to be a shrine
to my Immaculate Heart and
the Sacred Heart of my Son Jesus.
The image of His face still remains
for you to see.
I am the Immaculate Heart of
Mary. The rosary is a weapon to
fight satan. Satan is stronger
today then ever before in the
history of the world.
His grip is paralyzing and
crippling. He longs to steal
the babies, he wants them sucked
even from the womb.
Satan is evil.
How vile can he be?
He wants to take the souls to
hell.
You are at battle with this
ancient serpent. Your children
he wants to devour.
Look at the fashions of this world
and remember my quote from Fatima.
Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much. 19
NOTE:

Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN
Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). p.9-10.

Mary speaks: Oh my
babies, my precious ones,
we have given to you the Nursing Home
videos with my precious face to
tell the world I was here for over
7 years and they defaced me.
"Much ado" is none made for
my appearance. One may begin
to think, "oh it was nothing much."
5th, after 5th, after 5th, I
appeared in radiant beauty, golden
and in gold rainbow color and I
give you these pictures as a reminder.

Mary speaks: When
the night settled in, and
the pleasant cool breeze began
to flow across his face, Shane
sat comfortably in his chair next
to the green trees. He looked
to the darkened sky above.
He saw the twinkling stars and
the bright moon of the evening.
He began to think about his
father and mother who had both
passed away about 10 years before.
He remembered very well his
dad's anger and hurtful remarks
even to the last days of his life.
He wished he had had the
video he had just seen the day before
showing the image of Our Lady of
Clearwater.
His dad loved the races and
he wandered around like a
wounded pigeon with a broken
leg, most of the time waddling
in a circle.
Purpose, he lacked purpose.
He was ridden with cancer
and it lingered on for years,
(two to be exact). He spent his
nights checking the racing forms,
and his days arranging a way
to get to the races.
So sad for him that he never
realized what the real race was
all about.
As Shane looked at the twinkling
stars, tears came into his eyes
and down his cheeks, for he
saw the faithfulness of his mother
Mary how she walked by the
side of his dad.
His dad was so unkind to his
mother and she never left him.
She in her own illness cared for
him, cooking his food, bringing
him loving gifts to comfort him.
It seemed now as he looked
at the dark sky with the twinkling
stars, he saw a night at the
old house as vividly as if he
was watching a movie.
His dad was poking fun, once
again at his mother and she
was lovingly by his side.
Jesus speaks: Now
I tell you my children
of your Mother Mary.
She was placed on a busy corner
in Clearwater, Florida to remind
the children that she is the
Spiritual Mother of all. For
7 years she was majorly
ignored by most of the
children of this earth.
The reason for the 5th gatherings -
because of the blasphemies against
Mary, one of which is destruction
of her images, cannot be denied
when one gazes upon the following
pictures.

Jesus speaks: Oh
My troubled little
creatures of the earth, make
amends to the Father and to
Mary for the years you ignored
her when she appeared to you
with the Father's message to
help the ailing children to
have peace.
Mary is the Queen of Peace.
Your world is burning, not
with the fire of My Love, but
with hatred in the hearts
blacken with the devil's snare.
What sign can I send
that you would believe?
War is war and you
have some because you ignore
the Queen of Peace.

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
May 13, 1917
"Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.
"I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want
"Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?
"Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." (8)
June 13, 1917
"God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." (10)
July 13, 1917
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"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)
August 19, 1917
She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. (15)
September 13, 1917
More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.(16)
October 13, 1917
I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)
While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:
As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. (18)
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.
Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.
Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.
I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.
If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.
Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)
