                R. The ability to be free to love, not to be
                restricted by inordinate attachments, tendencies
                that are unwanted that lead a man away from
                doing the will of God.

                    I know Moses had faith to do what he
                did to lead the people. But Moses was tried
                constantly by those who argued and opposed
                what God told him to do.

                    When we look at Abraham we see
                Abraham had to have a strong faith to do
                what he did and when tested by God about
                sacrificing his son – Abraham was willing
                to do what God asked.

                We see how Joseph was tested and how
                    strong his faith was to do the right
                    thing and love God as he did.

                These men show us their strong belief.
                The messages given in Blue Book II show us
                God wants passion in the love we give to
                Him.

                If something doesn't mean much to us
                    we can see how we won't fight
                    for it –
                    won't have passion to do it.

                A man who loves something and really
                    wants it, will fight for it – will
                    keep trying if he believes he can
                    do it.

                What makes a man, like the pope, keep on
                    working for the good of all, with
                    self-sacrifice and purity –

                Where does the strength come from to
                    do the courageous thing in love
                    for the good of others, for the good
                    of many?

                God wants to operate in us and lead
                    us with conviction and passion
                    in this Movement.

                    From the beginning with Blue Book II Jesus
                told us the kind of love union He wants with us –
                He wants a love union that is committed to
                this vocation He has called us to.

                    God calls us and He can give us a great
                grace to endorse that which will build
                the Movement.

                    We can't use division and darkness
                to make light.

                    When the elevator is going down it goes down.

                    When men rely on themselves to accomplish
                a supernatural job – it won't happen.

                    From the beginning of this Movement
                Jesus gave us messages to help us to have
                Passion for the good of this Movement.
                Fr. Carter had Passion – He was so on fire
                and so filled with faith and the love
                of Jesus – he worked hard to spread
                the Movement, to get prayer chapters in
                every state, to put out the Priestly Newsletter
                to support the 13ths, to discern all
                materials, to endorse the Ministries –
                Fr. Carter, the Founder of the Shepherds of Christ
                worked – he believed, he endorsed my writings,
                he made me do the directing, do the
                rosaries, he saw to the transcribing
                of the tapes. He made me correct
                people who were not doing
                what was right, when it was so hard.
                Fr. Carter, the founder of the Shepherds of Christ
                believed with Passion in the Ministries, the
                Books, the Movement.
                Fr. Carter operated in order, he saw to it
                I corrected anything that was not
                pleasing to the Lord, out of order,
                there was order and structure.
                Fr. Carter said Jesus told him the
                Servants and Handmaids would majorly
                serve the Movement and it was the
                plan of Jesus 22 years ago for these
                men and women to be called to this
                Movement.

                In 1995 there were people who were to
                    help with the Priestly Mailing –
                    There was so much division, bickering
                    getting Fr. Carter in their disputes –
                    He said in August 1995 – he would
                    resign from Our Lady of the Holy Spirit
                    Center from the board and the Falmouth
                    Farm because it was stopping the
                    work of spreading the Priestly Newsletter to
                    the world and beginning the Prayer
                    Chapters.

                He said satan was working in this
                    division and darkness and
                    nothing was being accomplished
                    that God wanted with the Shepherds of
                    Christ because of the division, bickering etc.

                In Blue Book 14, it was hard to put it together
                    because Jesus changed all the leaders
                    and brought in new leaders to run
                    the Movement and to secure our
                    being productive and not just
                    letting satan try to work on
                    problems people were forcing
                    every day and stopping us from
                    moving ahead and building up
                    the Movement –

                I am delivering a message from Jesus here –

                Jesus: When people come in darkness and act
                    out their darkness, the devil uses this
                    to make waves and the production
                    of what is to build is halted –
                    Satan works in dysfunction and
                    control in families, communities,
                    Churches –

                The work of the Church is to build up
                    the body of Christ –

                The work of the Shepherds of Christ is to help
                    renew the Church and the world.

                Satan works in people trying to force
                    dysfunctional ways in any
                    community setting trying to
                    establish order and love and
                    unity for the building of My Kingdom –

                Religious are to be motivated to do work
                    that I call them to, to help
                    renew and build up the Body of Christ.

                What an honor to help the Church and
                    the world and help souls to go
                    to heaven.

                What an honor to be called to this
                    by your heavenly Father.

                There should be a driving force in
                    the person to help spread the
                    Good News –

                The strength one needs to do this is because
                    of faith and hope and love –

                You cannot move ahead on a spiritual
                    plan without the Holy Spirit
                    filling you with burning love
                    for God and for souls.

                Strength for a supernatural plan
                    must come from God.

                Man of himself has no ability to do this.

                I give great grace to be able to do this,
                    but you cannot reject the grace
                    I am giving and focus on any
                    darkness –

                You must pray to focus on the light,
                    My Might, My joy at the work
                    you do.
                    I love you to promote My Movement –
                    I love you to put Me first and
                        give all your struggles to Me –

                    I love you –

                You must have Passion for Our love affair –
                You must have Passion for My Movement –
                You must rely on My Might to do this –

                Encourage others –

                Witness to your faith –

                You cannot do this work on your own
                    might – this is a Divine Plan to
                    help renew the Church and the world
                    and to bring men to the Shepherds of Christ
                    to help in the spreading of this Movement –

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

  
 

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

    1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
    2. For the Pope.
    3. For all bishops of the world.
    4. For all priests.
    5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
    6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
    7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
    8. For all members of the human family.
    9. For all souls in purgatory.

end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message

  
 
                Jesus: I am teaching the world about the great
                    gifts given in baptism and
                    in the Eucharist in My Blue Books
                    Spread them – now

                I am calling you to be My witness before men –
                    This is an honor –

                    This is a gift –

                Song: A Song from Jesus


 

                Mary speaks:

                    Listen to my Son Jesus. You must
                    focus on building up this Movement –
                    on the Light –

                    I appeared for 22 years now as
                        The Lady of Light –

                    I am Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas –

                    Your world is bleeding –

                    This is a Movement from God the Father –

                    Ignore me no longer –

                    Be as the soldiers God has called you
                        to be – going into battle –
                        fighting for the souls of my children –

                    You must have faith

                    You must walk in the Light –

                    You must change any
                        "ho-hum attitude" you
                        have –
                        God is displeased with this
                        when you are so richly blessed –

                Be soldiers in the Shepherds of Christ Division
                    of the Army called by God the Father –

                I am Mary your Mother –

                Listen to me –

                Have Passion for this work –

                Love God with your whole heart, your
                    whole soul, your whole being –

                Live to serve Him –
                Live to love Him –

                I cry to you as your heavenly Mother –
                    do not give into satan –
                    My little ones are dying in their
                        faith
                    Jesus has given you His personal
                        love letters and this Movement –

                Unless you change your
                    "ho-hum attitude"
                    You won't witness to anyone –

                Be about the work –

                Don't nurse the darkness –

                Move ahead in the battle for
                    souls with passion –

                I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary –

                I love my precious children –

                I love you, help me, please help me now –

                Be enthusiastic –
                    No one is listening to your
                    "ho-hum attitude"

                This Movement was given by God the Father
                    and this is a gift for the souls,
                    your calling is a gift –

                Thank God for His generosity to you –

                I love you,

                    Mary, your heavenly Mother

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the Will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the Will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His Will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and rosary meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ Chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Two Falmouth Visions

R. I had two visions yesterday at Falmouth.

Saw flame as bright brilliant, heard it go puff then it came out of a square box sitting on a hardwood floor that looked like the floor in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel. The Chapel was empty, some things on the floor in the distance. Room was bright. Floor was the center.

Notes: R. On June 8, 1995, I had two visions at the Falmouth farm in Kentucky. This excerpt is directly from my notebook as I wrote June 9, 1995, the day after the two visions at Falmouth, Kentucky.

I had received the morning offering for the Shepherds of Christ Movement earlier that morning. From the praying of this prayer by many in the Movement, great grace could be released to our Church and our world.

On the day June 8, 1995, I had the following vision. I saw a river and the riverbanks on both sides were lined with trees. Slowly the water began to rise in the river and the banks were flooded. And then I saw the water was pouring over the treetops (like a waterfall) into the river. The rough sketch enclosed is from my notebook on June 8, 1995.

R. This date June 8, 1995, was the one-year anniversary of the message being blocked from circulation on the Falmouth Farm.

Mary appeared there to lead men deeply into the Heart of Jesus through the messages in God’s Blue Book and the prayers given by Jesus in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual. We were to support the Shepherds of Christ priestly newsletter, and circulate it to priests all over the world so that they would consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary.

R. Jesus gave tender love letters in God’s Blue Book to lead the people to Him in adoration before the tabernacle and to Holy Communion. He wants people to stay 20 minutes after Communion to be with Him.

I always wondered what the two visions I received at Falmouth, Kentucky, meant. After the flooding at Falmouth, Kentucky, I thought the vision was linked to this.

One day after Mass at the Cathedral in the afternoon as I was leaving, I noticed the chapel had burned on June 8, 1999, and I remembered the vision I had at Falmouth, Kentucky.

The vision I see now resembles the flood at Falmouth (a terrible thing) but also it reminds me of something I recently read in Revelation 22:1-2.

Revelation 22:1-2

Then the angel showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear. Down the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations.

R. Approximately twelve times a year we honor God in a special way on the 13th of the month as requested by Jesus at our Center in China, Indiana. In China, Indiana, is our church which is our Center for Eucharistic Adoration. The 13th of every month is usually held in China. A street goes down the middle of our property in China. There are banks with water around the property. One can hear the flowing streams sometimes from the church. Once a month we usually meet there at 12:00 noon for the Shepherds of Christ Prayers and the rosary with messages from Jesus and Mary.

R. I remember the vision June 8, 1995. I saw the waterway and then the water began to rise and rise and then it was pouring from above the trees.

I thought after Falmouth flooded, that this happened because of His displeasure that His Blue Book messages were not made available at the Falmouth farm.

The Blue Books lead people to Him in the Eucharist. He promises great grace to those who go to the Eucharist in love and stay after Communion. He promises those life-giving waters granted to the soul. I feel He uses life-giving waters many times as a symbol of His flowing grace.

Jesus: You know not the day nor the hour, do not worry for the things of this world, your very hairs have been numbered.

I Love you this day! You are My ardent Love!
