Chapter Guidelines for Shepherds of Christ Associates

  1. 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.
      
  2. 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.
      
  3. 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.
     
  4. A further purpose of the chapters is to undertake those activities which Jesus, through the Spiritual Director, further reveals to be His will.
     
  5. 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.
     
  6. A periodic newsletter for associates will be published to help establish the desired bond or union between all chapters and all members.
     
  7. Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates pledge their loyal support to the Holy Father, the Pope, and to the teaching authority of the Church.
     
  8. Shepherds of Christ Associates exists under Church law as provided in canons 298 and 299.
     
  9. 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.

        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!"

   

 

 

   

Work to Make Your World Better

Jesus: "My beloved companion, remind My people of their responsibility toward the world. They have a duty to try to make this a better world for all to live in.

"Today there is much which is wrong with the world. Sin covers the face of the earth. Sins of all kinds blemish the goodness of My Father's creation.

"However, My Mother and I are increasingly gathering our forces for the battle against Satan and his followers. We are more and more forming Our followers to wage the battle to win back that part of the world dominated by Satan's influence. We are forming our followers in the ways of love. We are forming Our followers with the grace which flows from the bosom of My Father, through My Heart, given in the Holy Spirit, and distributed through the intercession of the maternal and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"We are forming Our followers to give themselves in the greatest love for God and neighbor. We are bringing them ever more closely to Our Hearts so that they may draw from the flames of love of My Heart and Mary's Heart! The more My followers dwell in Mary's Heart and My Heart, the more they are enlightened and strengthened to give themselves for the salvation of the world.

"I am Lord and Master. I ask all to follow Me and My Mother to help us bring forth the great age of love and peace for the world. This age will emerge after the phase of purification has been completed. This age will be characterized by the triumph of Mary's immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. In this great new age, soon to come, My people will love and praise My Father, with Mary and through Me and in the Holy Spirit, as never before!

"I love My people with a tremendous, burning love, and in this love I give them this message!"

Reflection: The world belongs to Christ. St. Paul tells us about this:

As he is the Beginning, he was first to be born from the dead, so that he should be first in every way, because God wanted all perfection to be found in him, and all things to be reconciled through him and for him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, when he made peace by his death on the cross (Colossians 1:18-20).

Since the world belongs to Christ, we, who are His followers, must have a great love for the world as created and redeemed by God. We must labor through our participation in the Mass and through all our other prayers and good works to more and more help the Christic image of the world to shine forth in ever greater splendor. This is our duty and our privilege. Out of love for God and neighbor, let's resolve to get on with the task!

May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father

My Father,

        With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.

        It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.

        My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.

        And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.

        I beg You Father for mercy.
        I beg You Father for assistance.
        I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.

        Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.

        Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.

        Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.

        We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
        We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia

A message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

    I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

    My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.

Message from Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998

Jesus speaks: (with great emotion)  COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!!  I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.

    I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.

    Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.

    Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lens graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.

    I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.

    Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blindmen and I shout to you.

    My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart.

Messenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.

    Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.

    Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!

Messenger: As I unite with Him in the most intimate experiences in the Eucharist, I become one in His desires and what He wants, I become more as He is. He is the life, He is the resurrection, He is God.

    I become more in Him, His desires are my desires, the Father's Plan is imprinted in my soul during the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. I am transformed immensely in those moments after Communion to being alive in Him.

God the Father: I am God, you are man, I have given My Son Jesus to you to unite your soul to Me. I am the Father, He is the First Born from the dead. Life will abound in heaven and on earth.

    God has visited His people and now He Reigns. He has ransomed them with the Blood of the Lamb.

Messenger:  On Pentecost 1998 I had 3 visions - 

 

Messenger: On Pentecost, May 31, 1998, I had 3 visions.

1. One was a big dark skinned woman twirling her pearls in front of many dark skinned people, looked like natives from Africa, dressed like Christ as He is pictured on the cross (half-naked). She was proportionally much bigger, she had a big white loose fitting gown. I saw her above her waist. She was in the foreground, the others behind.

 

Messenger:        I remember Jesus saying

                                Africa, Africa, Africa.

 

2. I saw the dirt moving in little granules and a balcony. It was make clear to me we can focus on the dirt or the balcony.

3. One was a vision looking for the right card. Some were black cards, some were white cards.

   

 

June 3, 2001

Before the tabernacle about 12 noon

Messenger:        My dear Jesus,

                                I am just so happy to be here. I remember
                            so many precious feasts, I love the 
                            Feast of Pentecost.

                                I remember the vision of the African
                            woman and the people in the back of 
                            her. I hear Our Lord say, "Africa, Africa
                            Africa."

                                I read the notes we receive from Africa
                            of priests and bishops hungry for our
                            materials and the prayer manuals.
                            I want to send them what they request.
                            One priest wanted 50 Mass Books.
                            On inquiring I am told constantly how
                            expensive it is to send things to Africa even
                            by boat.

                                I see this vision Our Lord gave
                            me of the big woman with the pearls
                            and the message
                                "Africa, Africa, Africa" and I want 
                            to be able to send them what they
                            request.

                            The message I receive from Jesus is we need
                                hungry people praying the prayers.
                                We need those that are hungry
                                for God's love. We need those who
                                are so eager to pray, to pray the prayers.

 

 

 

Messenger:  And between Ascension Thursday and
                        Pentecost I saw the golden door.

 


 

 

Messenger: Some time between Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.

I saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the Apostles Manual (p. 34-36).

The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.

The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on the water at Tom's Farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its description.

There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open, glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold and went in.

The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.

I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead...

 

 

June 4, 2001

Mary speaks: My dear little heart,

                            Do not be troubled for I am with you. I love
                        you with my motherly love.

                            You are so afraid. You must trust in Jesus
                        and see yourself as the little child of the
                        Father.

                            Now, let go and relax, meditate on the passion
                        of Jesus, meditate on His resurrection, trust
                        in God.
                            Why do you fear when you live to love and
                        serve Him? Why do you fret?
                             So many today try to get ahead of others.
                        They worry so much what men think of them,
                        they judge their value by what others
                        think of them.

                                My children, you live to serve God. You
                        must do as the Father wills you to do.
                        Judging your actions by wanting to
                            please others may lead you down
                            the wrong road.
                        The Father has a plan for you today.
                            In this season of Pentecost you must
                        ask the Holy Spirit to help you in a special
                        way to know God and follow His ways.
                            Pray to be enlightened by my Spouse the
                        Holy Spirit. Pray for wisdom in your
                        heart. Pray to know God and His ways,
                        beg for grace. Pray to be used as an
                        instrument to help lead others to God.

                        Oh my children, if you only knew the
                            reward that waits for those who
                            love and serve the Lord.

                        Oh my child, my precious little one, how
                            tenderly I watch you. It is as if
                            you play on the surface of the
                            earth. My child and you must love
                            and serve your God with all your
                            heart and all your soul and your
                            whole being. And if you do this
                            my child my Son will take you to
                            your heavenly reward.

                        Oh I cry for my little ones in Africa. They
                            are hungry for the rosaries and the
                            Shepherd of Christ prayers. Send
                            them to them. Send them to those 
                            requesting them in India and in Brazil
                            and in the foreign countries that are hungry.

                            Oh my children are in so much pain
                        around the world and you America in
                        your land of plenty you ignore me when
                        I appear and cry to you for help in the
                        sunny state of Florida.

                            Oh my Son Jesus is the light of the world.

 

 

Received the evening of September 23, 2001

Messenger:            Whenever I got an interior vision inside my
                        eye lids, there would be the sparkle of heavenly
                        light and then the movie would begin inside
                        of my eye lids. It was vividly clear
                        and I wanted to see it so intently, I would
                        try to sit up and look harder into my eye lids,
                        but nothing I could do would change it. It was
                        the way it was given. I wouldn't dare open my
                        eyes for I knew I wouldn't see it if I did.
                        I looked at it as hard as I could, but nothing I
                        did would ever change it.

 

From the message of September 23, 2001 I write

Messenger:            And when I begin to get
                        one, an interior vision, I sit up and watch it as intently
                        as I can, but nothing I do effects the vision. I can't make
                        it brighter or clearer or make it any longer than it is—
                        It is exactly as God gives it to me. It is a gift from Him.
                        I love it when it starts because it is such a gift.
                        They are very special and I have had only a small
                        number.

                        On Pentecost 1998 I had 3 of them.

  

September 23, 2001 message continues

Messenger:     Also between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost, I
                            saw the golden open door with the
                            little sheep that hobbled in.

                        Someone tried to draw my vision of the golden door
                            and we put it on the internethere it is,

  

  

September 23, 2001 message continues

Messenger:         but it bothered me so much because
                            it was so "concrete" and it didn't
                            look like what I saw at all. It was
                            mystical, the light like nothing here below.
                            The shape even seemed it couldn't be
                            duplicated. Nothing looked the same to
                            me. It looked hard and the black wall
                            outside was deep black. What I saw
                            was a deep black wall, but it was
                            colored with a mystical pen with
                            a color from God. It seemed far beyond
                            any pen or paper.

                           There is an aura to the visions usually.
                        It is not so hard and distinct, it is soft
                        and beautiful in a way I can never describe,
                        duplicate or write about expressing it in any
                        terms here. Even the white of a snow capped
                        mountain does not compare in anyway to the
                        beauty of the sacred host at elevation when
                        he clothes it with an aura and it is a translucent
                        host coming out of the elevated host. I have
                        seen all kinds of visions around the sacred
                        host.

 

   

September 23, 2001 message continues

Messenger:     I see myself like this with Jesus.

                        Jesus loves us so much and wants to
                            comfort us.

                        He wants us to rest our head on
                            His Heart.

                        Jesus is so gentle and loving in Heart.

                        Jesus is God.

                        Jesus' love for us is so tender.

                            I close this writing from the Jesus room.
                        Many of The Blue Book messages were written here.
                        May the love of Jesus flood your heart and soul and
                        give you peace.

 


  

September 24, 2001

Messenger:     I see the sanctuary, the golden veil and

                    I experience a special presence of God.

                    I quote here Isaiah 30: 26

  


  

Isaiah 30:26

"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."

  


  

September 24, 2001 message continues

Messenger:  When I receive special gifts I may get

                        an aura with a golden veil.
                        He gives me a great grace

 

 

Messenger:        9 months before Mary appeared in Clearwater I got 3 great vision.

 

March 26, 1996

Very carefully discerned by Fr. Carter

Messenger:  I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it all.

    To be so aware of the Almighty God truly present in His splendor and glory—to know the presence of God, to see the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross behind Him—my beauteous love—words do not exist to describe the rapture of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted—a light beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of men.

    We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for the vision of God.

Note:  I cried all through this writing, having the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work within you.

    And I was filled on high with His miraculous light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Note:  As I finished, the bells at All Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of Fr. Carter in this great mission given to him by the Father.

For Fr. Carter from Jesus:

Jesus speaks:  To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within him.

    I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass, grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love. The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed.

    To you, My beloved son, Father Carter, I have sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth. The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb.

    There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    I have written your name, Fr. Carter, in My Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son, forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love to the priest-sons of this earth.

    I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

Isaiah 30: 19-26

Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean the silverplating of your idols
and goldplating of your images.
You will throw them away like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows they have received."

Excerpt from September 24, 2001 message

Messenger:   Open my eyes and

                            let me see.

                    Oh God lift your veil that

                        I may see and know you

                        more and more.

                    My soul longs for Thee.


                        It is interesting to note in John

                            how the accounts of the blindman preceed

                            the Chapter on the Good Shepherd.

  


  

John 9: 6-7, 11, 15, 32-33

Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the spittle, put this over the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, ‘Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (the name means ‘one who has been sent’). So he went off and washed and came back able to see.

He answered, ‘The man called Jesus made a paste, daubed my eyes with it and said to me, "Go off and wash at Siloam"; so I went, and when I washed I gained my sight.’

so when the Pharisees asked him how he had gained his sight, he said, ‘He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and I can see.’

The man answered, ‘Whether he is a sinner I don’t know; all I know is that I was blind and now I can see.’

The man replied, ‘That is just what is so amazing! You don’t know where he comes from and he has opened my eyes! We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but God does listen to people who are devout and do his will. Ever since the world began it is unheard of for anyone to open the eyes of someone born blind;

         

 

 

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart: 

  1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
  2. I will establish peace in their homes.
  3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
  4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
  5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
  6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
  7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
  8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
  9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
  10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
  11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
  12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

 

 

Messenger:        These promises burn in your heart.

 

 

Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

From Mary's Peace Plan

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."

Daily Writing May 3, 2006

Messenger:           Are you doing the job for why Mary
                        appeared to me all those times? Why did
                        our Mother appear to get us to spread the
                        consecration to the Two Hearts to the Hearts
                        of Jesus and Mary.

                            It is our job to do so, Mary and Jesus say
                        to the poor banished children of Eve.

                            We need to see with the wide vision of
                        knowing that the souls of this earth must
                        give themselves to the Hearts of Jesus and
                        Mary.

                            We give our lives for this.

                            Praying for the priests, the Church and the
                        world. Being prayer apostles.

                            The Mass can reach the ends of the earth.
                        We pray deeply uniting every moment to the
                        Masses being celebrated around the world.

                            People all over the world uniting in
                        the Morning Offering. We unite as the body
                        of Christ, the Church -- we are united to
                        the Mass -- united to all angels and saints and
                        souls in purgatory --

                            Praying to the Father united to the
                        Mass -- the sacrifice of Calvary -- sacramentally
                        made present in the Mass -- offering this
                        sacrifice to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

                            Go to Mass daily -- Go to Mass and offer
                        sacrifice -- united to the Holy Sacrifice
                        of the Mass all day -- spread the morning
                        offering, spread the consecration,
                        spread these prayers. Don't be afraid,
                        don't be self-focused. How can we
                        not do our part as members of the body
                        of Christ? Mary appeared in the Americas,
                        Our Lady of Clearwater, Our Lady of
                        Fatima in the Americas -- 1) she appeared
                        to me in an old seminary, 2) she appeared to us
                        in Clearwater there to tell the people to pray,
                        to spread the consecration to the
                        Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and
                        to unite so deeply to the Mass.

                            Christ through His life, death and resurrection
                        paid the price for our salvation.

                            The Church the fountain of life
                        for the human race, the price of this paid for
                        by our beloved Savior.

                            The Church, the body of Christ, united in deep
                        oneness, giving our lives united to the Mass,
                        as the body of Christ can help to bring down
                        great grace for the human race to be changed,
                        to know Christ, the Savior.

                            We, commissioned in baptism to help
                        so souls will not be lost.

                            As we live our lives united to the Mass
                        at every moment, we as members of the body of Christ
                        help in the release of this grace, Christ shed His blood
                        for, to be released to the world.

                            The Church being the fountain of God's grace --
                        the sacraments given as gifts to us in the Church.


                       
                            Every second of our lives, to pray as members
                        of the body of Christ -- united so deeply to the Mass
                        going on around the world --
                        we who are consecrated to the Sacred Heart and
                        the Immaculate Heart living that life of consecration
                        pray the Morning Offering daily, begging for grace
                        to be released on the whole world.


                        Not to be afraid, but to do
                        the job as baptized Catholics --
 

                            Satan wants us focused on ourselves --
                        our own little backyard.

    With an awareness of the lack
of the people of the human race
recognizing Christ as Savior,
Redeemer, Almighty God
we reach to these heights of
commitment as living as strong
members of the body of Christ,
as baptized Catholics.

    We cry out at the Lamb of God
at Mass for mercy from our God.
We deeply participate in all Masses
attended not as a passive spectator
but as one deeply united to Christ
all angels and saints, the souls in purgatory,
the universal Church offering sacrifice
to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

    Mary said at Fatima until a sufficient
number of people have consecrated their
hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
there would not be peace in the world.

    The mission of the Shepherds of Christ
at the end of the century begun by Fr. Carter
in 1994 with a message from Jesus
to spread this consecration to the priests,
bishops, etc. through the Priestly Newsletter
and to provide an instrument of instruction
rooted in the scriptures, the encyclicals (documents of the Church)
the sound teaching from the mouth of the Good Shepherd.
That the priest would hear the voice of the Good Shepherd
in this instrument and follow Him.

Good Sound Catholic truths from a holy,
LOVING priest

   

John 10: 11-15

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.
The hired man,
   since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
   and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
   and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
   because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.  

 

May 3, 2006 message continues

Messenger:           Christ the Good Shepherd
                        laid down His life for His flock
                        and the members of the body of Christ
                        the poor banished children of Eve
                        through the commitment at baptism
                        have dedicated their lives in consecration
                        to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                        living out that baptismal promise.

    Consecration to the Heart of Jesus and Mary
is just a deepening of the baptismal commitment.

    It is with little regard
that we worry for the perishable things of this world
but stay focused on our lives given to us
in preparation for the heavenly banquet,
for the beatific vision.

    The Father allowed Mary to appear
Our Lady of Clearwater, Our Lady of Fatima
in the Americas because the soil was rich in the Americas
filled with people of the human race
being Christian in origin.

    We see that Our Lady appeared at Fatima
and that although Christianity concentrated
around Rome and some of the adjoining areas
there is much work that needs to be done
in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ
the Son of God, Savior and Redeemer.

    To me, God the Father allowed the Virgin Mary
to appear Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas,
in an attempt to cry especially
to the human race of the Americas
to see the Lady clothed with the sun,
the New Eve and to hear her message
to lead the world to her Son Jesus,
Redeemer, Savior -- Jesus, Son of God.

    The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign,
the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph,
on this earth. Jesus gave to Fr. Carter
the following message

     

July 31, 1994

Messenger:           ... to spread the consecration
                        to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                        to the world, through the priests,
                        the fish hook has been put in 189 countries
                        consistently for over a period of 12 years
                        in the Priestly Newsletter.

 

    It is through our priests teaching the people
about the importance of consecration to the
Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart,
the New Adam, the New Eve
united to the Mass that the light of God's grace
can speed swiftly across the earth
transforming stubborn hearts, blind hearts,
self-focused hearts and lead them to ever
deeper levels of holiness and awareness
of the Good Shepherd, the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

    We in the Shepherds of Christ
have prayed for the success of this
Priestly Newsletter for 12 years,
as His instrument to help to bring to
completion the mission Mary began at Fatima,
and the conversion that is necessary
especially outside of America to lead the world
to accept the Sacred Heart of Jesus
as Savior and King.

    It is God's plan, that the world will be one,
united in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
loving and worshiping the Sacred Heart of Jesus
as King and Center of their lives, so that they will
recognize the greatness of the Church God has given to us
and that Jesus remains with us truly present
in His Divinity and humanity today in the Eucharist
no less present than when He walked the earth.   
 

                            Jesus is truly present in the
                        Eucharist and the Mass is celebrated
                        all over this earth -- we must unite
                        to the Mass and pray -- consecrated to
                        the pure Hearts of Jesus and Mary --

 

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.

   

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.

 

 

   

 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Carter, S.J.
 

July 13, 1917

    "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)

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.

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.

Chapter Guidelines for Shepherds of Christ Associates

  1. 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.
      
  2. 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.
      
  3. 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.
     
  4. A further purpose of the chapters is to undertake those activities which Jesus, through the Spiritual Director, further reveals to be His will.
     
  5. 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.
     
  6. A periodic newsletter for associates will be published to help establish the desired bond or union between all chapters and all members.
     
  7. Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates pledge their loyal support to the Holy Father, the Pope, and to the teaching authority of the Church.
     
  8. Shepherds of Christ Associates exists under Church law as provided in canons 298 and 299.
     
  9. 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.

Chapter Meeting Prayer Format

The prayer format below should be followed at chapter meetings of Shepherds of Christ Associates. All prayers, not just those said specifically for priests, should include the intention of praying for all the needs of priests the world over.

1. Hymns. Hymns may be sung at any point of the prayer part of the meeting.

2. Holy Spirit Prayer. Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

3. The Rosary.

4. Salve Regina. "Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, our mourning, our weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary."

5. The Memorare. "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen."

6. Seven Hail Marys in honor of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. Mary has promised very special graces to those who do this on a daily basis.

(1) The first sorrow: the prophecy of Simeon (Hail Mary).

(3) The third sorrow: the loss of the Child Jesus in the temple (Hail Mary).

(4) The fourth sorrow: Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross (Hail Mary).

10. 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"

11. Prayer for all members of the Shepherds of Christ Associates. "Dear Jesus, we ask Your special blessings on all members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. Continue to enlighten them regarding the very special privilege and responsibility you have given them as members of Your movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates. Draw them ever closer to Your Heart and to Your Mother's Heart. Allow them to more and more realize the great and special love of Your Hearts for each of them as unique individuals. Give them the grace to respond to Your love and Mary's love with an increased love of their own. As they dwell in Your Heart and Mary's Heart, abundantly care for all their needs and those of their loved ones. We make our prayer through You to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary our Mother at our side. Amen"

12. Prayer for the spiritual and financial success of the priestly newsletter. "Father, we ask Your special blessings upon the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ.

United with our Mother Mary, we make this petition to You through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit."

14. Prayer to St. Michael and our Guardian Angels:

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

15. Pause for silent, personal prayer. This should last at least five minutes.

16. Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

17. Daily Prayers. All members should say the Holy Spirit prayer daily and make the act of consecration daily. They should also pray the rosary each day. They are encouraged to use the other above prayers as time allows.

Le format de prières que l’on trouvera ici est celui qui doit être normalement suivi aux réunions de chapitre des Associés des Pasteurs du Christ.

1. Hymnes. Les hymnes peuvent être chantés à n’importe quel moment durant la réunion réservé à la prière.

2. Prière au Saint-Esprit. Viens, Esprit Saint, Sanctificateur tout puissant, Dieu d’amour, qui remplit de grâces la Vierge Marie, qui changea le coeur des apôtres de façon magnifique, qui dota tous tes martyrs d’un courage miraculeux, viens nous sanctifier. Eclaire nos pensées, fortifie notre volonté, purifie notre conscience, rend droit nos jugements, réchauffe notre coeur et préserve nous de résister à tes inspirations. Amen.

3. Le chapelet.

4. Le Salve Regina. "Salut, ô Reine, Mère de miséricorde, notre vie, notre doceur et notre espérance, salut. Enfants d’Eve, malheureux exilés, nous élevons nos cris vers toi; nous soupirons vers toi, gémissant et pleurant dans cette vallée de larmes. Ô notre avocate, tourne donc vers nous tes regards miséricordieux, et au sortir de cet exil montre-nous Jésus, le fruit béni de tes entrailles. Ô clémente, ô charitable, ô douce Vierge Marie. Amen."

5. Le Memorare. "Souviens-toi, ô très pieuse Vierge Marie, qu’on n’a jamais entendu dire qu’aucun de ceux qui ont eu recours à ta protection, qui ont imploré ton assistance et réclamé ton secours, ait été abandonné. Animé d’une pareille confiance, je resours à toi ô Vierge des vierges. Je me présente devant toi, pécheur repentant. Ne rejette pas mes prières, ô Mère du Verbe, mais écoute-les favorablement et daigne les exaucer. Amen."

6. Les Sept "Je te salue Marie" en honneur des Sept Douleurs de Marie. A ceux et celles qui s’acquittent de cette dévotion tous les jours, Marie a promis de les assister au moment de la mort. Voici les sept douleurs de Marie:

Note: On récite le "Je te salue Marie" après chaque invocation.

(1) Première douleur: la prophétie de Siméon.

10. Prière pour les prêtres. "Seigneur Jésus, Grand Pasteur du troupeau, nous prions pour que dans l’amour et la miséricorde de ton Sacré Coeur, tu assistes tes prêtres-pasteurs du monde entier.

14. Prière à St. Michel et à notre Ange Gardien:

"St. Michel Archange, défends nous dans le combat. Sois notre protecteur contre la méchanceté et les embûches du démon. Que Dieu lui commande, nous t’en supplions. Et toi, Prince de la milice céleste, par le pouvoir qui t’a été confié, précipite au fond des enfers Satan et les autres esprits mauvais qui parcourent le monde pour la perte des âmes. Amen."

L’Eglise est née de ton Coeur transpercé, cette Eglise que tu m’a appellé à servir de façon spéciale, en tant que membre des Associés des Pasteurs du Christ. Tu nous révèle ton Coeur comme symbole de ton amour inépuisable, et de ton amour pour moi que tu as choisi comme ton compagnon pour cette oeuvre importante. Aide-moi à toujours t’aimer comme je dois. Aide-moi à me donner tout entier à toi. Aide-moi à me dépenser par amour de Dieu et du prochain. Coeur de Jésus, je mets ma confiance en Toi.

"Bienheureuse Vierge Marie, je me consacre à ton Coeur Immaculé et maternel, symbole de ta vie d’amour pour nous. Tu es la Mère de mon Sauveur, et ma Mère. Tu m’aimes spécialement comme membre des Associés des Pasteurs du Christ, un mouvement créé par ton Fils pour être un instrument puissant du renouveau de l’Eglise et du monde. En retour de cet amour, je me consacre entièrement à ton amour et à ta protection maternelle. En suivant Jésus parfaitement, tu es devenue son premier et parfait disciple. Enseigne-moi comment revêtir le Christ.

Ruega por nosotros, santa Madre de Dios. No desprecies las súplicas que te dirigimos en nuestras necesidades. Antes bien, líbranos de todo peligro, Virgen gloriosa y bendita.

"Querida e Bendita Virgem Maria, eu me consagro ao Vosso Coração Imaculado e Maternal, este Coração que é um símbolo de Vossa vida de Amor. Vós sois a Mãe do meu Salvador. Vós sois também, minha Mãe. Vós me amais com um Amor especial como membro dos Associados dos Pastores de Cristo, um movimento criado pelo Vosso Filho como poderoso instrumento de renovação da Igreja e do mundo. Em retorno de Amor, eu me dou inteiramente ao Vosso Amor e proteção maternais. Vós seguistes Jesus perfeitamente. Vós sois a sua primeira e mais perfeita discípula. Ensinai-me a Vós imitar neste revestir-se de Cristo. Sede minha intercessora materna, através do Vosso Coração Imaculado, para que eu possa ser conduzido a uma união sempre mais íntima com o coração traspassado de Jesus, o Pastor-Chefe do Rebanho."

Ezekiel 34: 11-16

    “For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."
