A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Excerpt from Tell My People by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My people that the ugly face of sin covers the earth as never before in the history of the human race. My image, which should shine forth brilliantly over the whole earth, is seriously marred by the hideousness of sin. My Father's justice demands reparation. Tell My people to offer their actions in reparation for all the sins whereby the Triune God is so much offended. My Heart cries out for reparation, especially for sins committed against My Eucharistic presence. My Heart hates sin, but loves the sinner. All who are sorry for their sins will find in My Heart overflowing graces of mercy.
"My people should receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation often, even if they have no serious sins to confess. The graces of this Sacrament give powerful graces for the fight against temptation. I am Lord and Master. Please do as I request!"
Reflection: In our determination to avoid sin, let us often recall the terrible sufferings which sin caused Our Loving Savior: the cruel crowning with thorns, the tearing of His sacred flesh by the soldiers' merciless scourging, the heartless hammering of nails through His sacred hands and feet, and all the rest. Who can prayerfully look upon the suffering Christ and not be repulsed by the hideousness of sin?

Excerpt from March 24, 2001 Daily Message
Messenger: When one individual sees
themselves
superior or maintains an attitude that
they do not need to mix with the others
and lives in a community, the community
life of the others is effected.
I will give you a parable. One man wanted
something and worked toward that goal. He
saw himself as self-sufficient. He only
would work by himself and he needed the assistance
of others to accomplish his goal.
Because of his desire to be alone, to be in control
of the situation, not wanting to ever let go
of the control, he could not work in community.
He only saw his work being done in isolation.
Even though he may have a wider goal, the inability
of the individual to let down his own
personal walls which can end in isolation
a great amount of the time, stops the work
which is needed to accomplish the goal.
God has put us here on earth to learn to
love God and love one another, to work
hand in hand.
Our purpose is to grow in the ways of God.
Matthew 22: 37-39
‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself.

Messenger: Look at the ant
hill. They have a job
to do. How would it look if there were
a mass of willful ants?
How would it look if they all worked
together?
When mothers and fathers truly love their
children, they try to work with the willful
ones to build a community of love. All
different problems may arise there which
we will not discuss.
In communities the superior must truly
love those under them and deal with them
in love, but people who really refuse to
live in a community in love
can cause massive problems for unity
and community life.
Father Carter clearly spoke to me of one of the
great stumbling blocks to the spiritual life: it is lack
of humility.
He wrote this article in his 20 page
Newsletter on humility when he told me
that statement.
From the Newsletter I quote.
Excerpt from priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Issue 3, 2000
Humility
Humility is a very important virtue given to us for the spiritual journey.
Humility is both the realization of what we are as creatures of God and the concrete implementation of this realization in our Christian lives. Humility, therefore, is not an exercise in self-depreciation; it is not telling yourself that you are no good, that you really have nothing of any significance to contribute to the service of God. Humility is based on truth. It is compatible with the recognition that God has given a person certain gifts, even great gifts, of nature and grace. If we do not recognize our God-given gifts, we do not thank God for them as we should, nor properly develop these gifts according to His will. God wants us not only to recognize the good that is in us, but also to realize the source of this goodness. Although we have a responsibility to cooperate with His graces, God is the One Who is chiefly responsible for what we are. If one person has advanced to a level in the Christian life that is beyond the level of another, it is ultimately because God has given that person greater graces.
If humility is based on truth and, consequently, allows us to properly recognize our gifts, it also necessitates that we admit to the evil within us, which is also part of the truth and must be acted upon. Humility not only bids us to admit that there is evil in us, but also tells us that, as creatures of God, we should conform to His will and work against this evil side of our persons. In summary, humility allows us to properly evaluate both the good and evil within ourselves.
Here is a quotation from St. Paul which helps us to preserve, and grow in, humility: Who made you so important? What have you got that was not given to you? And if it was given to you, why are you boasting as though it were your own? (1 Cor 4:7).
And in the Letter of James we read: Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up. (Jm 4:10)
(End of Excerpt from priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ)
March 24, 2001 message continues
Messenger: As one praying
for the renewal of the Church
and the world, it is silly to think we
can have a major part in this, if we
truly fail to work with our own imperfections
and the desires within ourselves to want to
isolate and not work with others.
This is not to say that some people have
different personalities, some more outgoing
and vibrant, some more quiet, but the
people that are always judging others
and criticizing them, unhealthily making
themselves above and others below them,
can be a party to spiritual pride.
No one likes to be accused of this, but in
order to live and operate in oneness, the
leaders must be recognized as leaders and
those under them, must surrender
to their position or there is havoc. There is a
constant battle amongst the members of
the community seeking superiority causing
pressure on the leader.
It can be seen very clearly in the family
when the teenage son or daughter wishes
their own way.
Let's face it, we are here to grow in the
spiritual life. We want to mature in our
ways of relating. In interacting with others
intimately we see our faults and we try
with God's grace to change them.
Many people will not admit they have
any imperfections. They see themselves as
perfect. They just don't get too close to
anyone else because they don't
want anyone to see they
are imperfect. They live in a world that is not
true for we are all imperfect.
In working with each other in an intimate
way we allow others to see the real self
and if we continue to work toward oneness
we must change many things that lead to
disharmony with others.
Married couples can become one and let each
other see their imperfections. It can take
a lifetime to continually bring out hidden
faults we have.
There is a purification process that takes
place here on earth as we allow ourselves to
be seen in our imperfections and struggle
to change for our good and the good of
others.
There is so much work that is
blocked because people refuse to let
down their superior walls
and work with each other.
Think of many hands working together, all
"chipping in", giving of themselves to accomplish
the work.
Think of one person who wants to run on their
own schedule and so they never come and
work with the others, they just plan everything
around their own way.
When I first needed to put out these writings,
I knew I couldn't do it alone. It took a team.
It took my good friend Ellen to help me type, I
couldn't type very good, she typed a "mile a
minute", she typed all the Blue Books in a
flash.
I had to have help. I had to go to others
and depend on them to help me.
|
Father Carter discerned every word. He disciplined himself and gave a lot of time. It is because he believed the Blue Books were as much his as mine, he told me. We had to work with people to put the books together. The Blue Book III was held up for two years because of the inability of one to smoothly work together to get it out. Father Carter had to discern it a couple of times. The rest of the Blue Books were blocked. It was a lot of work to get out the Blue Books and many helped in their own way. |

I cried about the Red Rosary book. Father
Carter prayed every day at Mass for it.

Messenger: I thought it
would never go out and I knew
the deadline Mary and Jesus gave me that it was
to get to the Associates before Christmas. Now
I know why Mary and Jesus wanted the Red
Rosary Book out for December 17, 1996. It was so
hard because we were dependent on so many
people that didn't work together.

Messenger: Today the
writings are out there because we are
learning more and more how to work with each
other to do it.
None of the writings would be out there, or the
Movement formed if everyone was working
their own plan.
They all work together.
It is a big problem if everybody has to
work through a lot of problems personally
whenever they work with anybody even to do a
mailing.
Some people always have to control.
Some people have to work on their own
schedule.
Some people won't ever do what you ask
them to do, they have to change it some
way that gives them a piece in it. It
throws off the plan.
Look at the symphony if every player
played their own tune.
Yuk!! What a gross melody.
Look at the symphony when all precisely
follow the conductor.
A lot of work is not being accomplished because
people just won't let down their own walls and
chip in.
A lot of work is being stopped.
When every one has the same plan. When they
really want to help bring about the Reign of
the Sacred Heart with their whole heart and become
handmaids of the Lord, great things will be accomplished.
I do look at Florida. Our responsibility
is to work in love for Jesus. We work
within the Movement in love. We don't
have plans with others on the outside
that take us away from doing His plan
the way He wants.
We are following the direction God is
giving us to help bring about the Reign
of the Sacred Heart. We work as a unit on
His plan. We love and respect each others
differences, but we work in love as one.
I give you the picture of Jesus. Since
Father Carter's death Jesus has appeared
on the building.

at Immaculata.

Excerpt from January 19, 1999 Daily Message Messenger: I saw Him at the point of death on the cross December 5, 1996, after Mary appeared 500 times. He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth moved very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not move His mouth to that extent. Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and said: "No one was listening."

Jesus speaks: I state
clearly, so much work is not
accomplished because you will not work
together.
I want you to pull together and work as
a body. All must realize they are imperfect
and try to do the job the way God
intends. All get together, you work together
to accomplish the task in love. If one person
can never make a mistake, so they think,
you won't be able to work together. You must
be humble and work to do the job and serve
Me in love.
You are growing in the spiritual life when you
work in love with one another. You will be more
advanced in the spiritual life when you work in love.
Do you think My Father likes your disharmony?
I give you the gift of Myself truly
present in the Eucharist, how can
you complain?
My Mother is appearing on the building.
I am appearing on the building.
Please help Me. How can you argue
when you are given such gifts?
I give to you the writing of your founder
on the Church.
To help renew the Church, to be a
good priest, you must be humble.
You realize you are under God. You
realize you must work as a family in
love.
Learning how to work together in love is
the purpose of My Movement. My Movement
exists to tell the world of My love.
See how they love one another.
The people in the Movement must work
together in love. They must work on one plan,
to help renew the Church and the world.
I wish the Chapter on the Church from
Father Carter's book Response to God's Love
appear here at the end of the writing.
I want you to study it.
How can men lead the Church when
they won't work together? How can you
lead the Church if you do not recognize
those over you? I always operate in
structure. Power comes from Me through the
people in charge. Those that cannot obey
authority, when authority is trying
to do God's will, make themselves head.
I am the Head of My Body the Church.

Father hear us please. We beg through
A Note from the President of Shepherds of Christ:
If you are devoted to Our Lady's rosary, we need your help! A member of our ministry is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and he is helping to teach us how to grow our volunteer rosary makers. He estimates that we will need approximately $37,000 this year for beads alone! This translates into 22,339,500 rosary beads (yes, 22 million beads) assembled by volunteers into 378 thousand rosaries. The biggest users of our rosaries are the Catholic schools, who requested more than 100,000 rosaries last year.
Can you help us? I appeal to you for funds, whether large or small. We give because we love God, we love our Blessed Mother, and we love souls. We will accept gifts in many forms, besides cash or check donations, we can receive gifts directly in the form of stocks or property. These gifts can offer large tax advantages to the donor and increase the monetary value of the gift to us. Also if you can help assemble rosaries we need your help! If you can help us in anyway, please call or write us. God Bless!
I love you,
John Weickert
A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.
In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.
A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.
On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say:
May God heal through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.
Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.
May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
We believe with all our hearts.
After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.
May be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.
