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.


July 11, 1999 - 1st message

Jesus speaks: My beloved, I have allowed you to go through the deepest testing to see if you would endure.

You said to Me, "I shall endure all for love of Thee. I believe, I believe, I believe in You."

This is My Movement. Surrender all control to Me. All that come, all that go, all that affects you. Do not try to control events. Do as I have commanded you. You know that it is God Who has the power, it is God Who is in control.

This is My Movement and I love it.

The Church is made up of imperfect people.

My Movement is made up of people that are imperfect as they try to become more like Christ, through consecration as assisted by My grace.


July 11, 1999 - 2nd message

The First Sorrowful Mystery
The Agony in the Garden

Sing in-between verses:
    I Am Your Sacred Heart (refrain)
    Song From Jesus (refrain)

  1. Messenger: He was alone in the garden and those He loved had abandoned Him. They slept at that hour.
  2. He knew all that was to happen in the greatest detail.
  3. The utter pain within His Heart to want connection with His beloved ones and they were sleeping.
  4. When I know Jesus and Mary are telling me things and I try to tell others, many ignore me and do not understand the intensity and importance of the message.
  5. Then the consequence of the message follows while all fiddled on their flute and danced a dance of death.
  6. They piped up a tune, they fiddled on the flute and the walls fell down round them.
  7. There will be singing and dancing until that last hour. You know not when the Divine Reaper will come.
  8. Jesus speaks: Oh the agony of it all. I spoke and they did not comprehend, nor did they even hear My voice.
  9. Hell is total isolation, no community and the souls scream a bitter scream of blood-curdling pain.
  10. Hail Mary...

The Second Sorrowful Mystery
The Scourging at the Pillar

  1. Jesus speaks: Picture a tree on the edge of a waterway. See the rains beating down and the water being carried forcefully down stream. And they stood by the tree and they were washed by the pulling current of the tormenting rains.
  2. The battles of the evil one can be compared to the current of a rain of torrential nature that pulls so hard on the body that it is almost washed hard down stream.
  3. And you hold on so tight to that tree of life and the rains wash and wash you. They press on your body and the current comes with its force to wash you away.
  4. And there is no letting up, it seems. As the rains beat down to hurt the body with their force, the current pulls and the waves of water carry all the debris down stream.
  5. And when it seemed the night was almost over after a day of battle in which you withstood the trickery, the last curtain was raised.
  6. And the evil one moved in for the kill. The soldiers were worn down, their spirits low, their hearts sinking low in their chests. The vision of Christ at the pillar went through their feeble minds and hark the trickery of the evil one throws one last curve as he moves in for the kill.
  7. The stage was set. The anger of the other had laid the trap. The tactics of the evil one would lay a successful path to trick the already weary-laden soul in that last attempt to wipe out the good works and attempts of endurance.
  8. And it happened. A trap is set by the devil, the ancient serpent. The devil has no mercy. His game is to stop the faithful servants DEAD ON THEIR PATH.
  9. Did you help lay a trap despite the warning? Did you lend the discouraging words?
  10. And the darkness never parted, for the night drew nigh carrying a message of anguish from the half-beaten soul.

The Third Sorrowful Mystery
The Crowning of Thorns

  1. Jesus speaks: And now Satan had tripped the one walking sure-footed on the path. The person struggled to get up.
  2. It was the path of treachery.
  3. What spiraled was his evil snare, his confusing ways, of words not spoken, but assumed by the trickery of the night.
  4. There are hearts of love and tricks of one who aims to steal them all for hell.
  5. She was given a glimpse into that hollow hole: a night of hell, despair, isolation, hatred.
  6. Messenger: A crown of thorns, a heart dedicated to the service of the Lord, a love so great for Him, a thirsting for the Son of God in the Eucharist, the reception of Him in Holy Communion, the wanting of only God, a river full of life.
  7. The night was hell-like, the devil had pressed so hard, the current seemed to wash me away.
  8. I felt the weight of the cross, the thorns that pierced the head, the burning of the wounds on the body where the flesh was torn.
  9. I felt the cry come from within me of total isolation and pain.
  10. And in that reception of the Eucharist and participation in the Mass, there was agony and pain.

The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery
The Carrying of the Cross

  1. Messenger: The Mass is to unite all the hearts in oneness. At Mass I had this following experience due to the lack of oneness between the peoples of the earth and with God. It was an experience of the souls in hell that would never know any love, only total isolation, hatred, and misery. The reality of hell was so real. Where once I experienced the ecstasy of oneness with God and all others in acceptance and love, existing in Him, now I experienced separation, hatred and the blackness of a cold night that seemed would last forever.
  2. The weight of the cross, the experience of the weight of the sins of the world was so real to me.
  3. In the Mass I felt I knew the depth and vileness of each sin. I knew more about Christ carrying those ugly, vile, sins with Him to the cross.
  4. The desire to wipe out the evil swelled in my heart. I knew the evil of sins. I knew the evil in a deep degree.
  5. I felt an agony in knowing the vileness of evil and the depth of evil in sinful acts. I had deep insight into the glories of the Almighty God and I experienced the joy of knowing what it was to be existent in Him and His loving embrace.
  6. The Lady warned and they did not hear the warnings.
    It is a battle against Satan, the evil one.
    You must give your heart to God.
  7. Holy Thursday is the Mass of the Last Supper.
    Jesus speaks: I have allowed you to suffer on Thursday for those who have betrayed Me.
  8. Messenger: You must choose God.
    It is a battle, do you choose God or the evil one? Give your heart to Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and the New Eve.
  9. Jesus speaks: I mounted the cross.
    I am the New Adam, My Mother stood below. She is the New Eve.
  10. Those who give their hearts to Us will be the victors.

The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery
The Crucifixion

  1. Messenger: The cross stands as the tree of life against a darkened sky and a darkened world.
  2. The sun glistens in the sky.
  3. Jesus speaks: I am the Light of the World.
    The Light to the darkened night.
    I am God, the SAVIOR of the world.
  4. Choose life.
  5. Do you choose God and God's side or the evil one, the ancient serpent, who aims to trick you with his vileness to steal your heart and soul forever and take you to the pits of hell?
  6. Song: Song From Jesus
  7. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart (refrain)
  8. Hail Mary...
  9. Hail Mary...
  10. Hail Mary...

        Song: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord in between decades.


The First Glorious Mystery
The Resurrection

  1. Messenger: I could hardly walk after the Mass, for He filled me with His Presence.
  2. Yesterday the agony of the realization of division and lack of oneness in the world filled me with such suffering and I knew something of hell and its lack of love. I knew something of the pain of division from God for all eternity.
  3. Today I was filled with such oneness for God and His creatures as He embraced me and overwhelmed me with His loving Presence as I existed in a heightened level in Him.
  4. The heights of this ecstasy is a taste of the everlasting embrace of our God in His love, existing in Him for all eternity. And so I write in this rosary of the One Who came forth victorious from the tomb and how I walk in His footprints.
  5. In my Bible are seen the cave where Christ was born in Bethlehem, and a tomb thought to be similar to the one He came out of after the Resurrection.
  6. He was born in a cave in the belly of the earth. He came forth victorious out of the tomb, both in the belly of the earth.
  7. In John's gospel it says the tomb of this New Adam was in a garden.
  8. He rose victorious from the dead.
  9. As we give ourselves in consecration to the New Adam and the New Eve, we put our tainted hearts in Their two pure and holy Hearts.
  10. Love is in Him.

Messenger: I ask the second reading from today's Mass and the Gospel appear here.


Romans 8:18-23

Glory is our destiny

In my estimation, all that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which is destined to be disclosed for us, for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed. It was not for its own purposes that creation had frustration imposed on it,but for the purposes of him who imposed it--with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed from its slavery to corruption and brought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God. We are well aware that the whole creation, until this time, has been groaning in labour pains. And not only that: we too, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we are groaning inside ourselves, waiting with eagerness for our bodies to be set free.


Matthew 13:1-23

Introduction

That same day, Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeside, but such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat there. The people all stood on the shore, and he told them many things in parables.

Parable of the sower

He said,'Listen, a sower went out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on patches of rock where they found little soil and sprang up at once, because there was no depth of earth; but as soon as the sun came up they were scorched and, not having any roots, they withered away. Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Anyone who has ears should listen!

Why Jesus speaks in parables

Then, the disciples went up to him and asked, 'Why do you talk to them in parables?' In answer, he said,'Because to you is granted to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not granted. Anyone who has will be given more and will have more than enough; but anyone who has not will be deprived even of what he has. The reason I talk to them in parables is that they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding. So in their case what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah is being fulfilled:

Listen and listen, but never understand!
Look, and look, but never perceive!
This people's heart has grown coarse,
    their ears dulled,
they have shut their eyes tight
to avoid using their eyes to see,
    their ears to hear,
their heart to understand,
changing their ways
    and being healed by me.

'But blessed are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear! In truth I tell you, many prophets and upright people longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it.

The parable of the sower explained

'So pay attention to the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom without understanding, the Evil One comes and carries off what was sown in his heart: this is the seed sown on the edge of the path. The seed sown on patches of rock is someone who hears the word and welcomes it at once with joy. But such a person has no root deep down and does not last; should some trial come, or some persecution on account of the word, at once he falls away. The seed sown in thorns is some one who hears the word, but the worry of the world and the lure of riches choke the word and so it produces nothing. And the seed sown in rich soil is someone who hears the word and understands it; this is the one who yields a harvest and produces now a hundredfold, now sixty, now thirty.'


Messenger: The Sorrowful Mysteries I received before Mass, the Glorious Mysteries after Mass. I saw in Mass that He was strengthening my roots so that I existed firmly rooted in Him.

The Second Glorious Mystery
The Ascension

  1. Messenger: And so our life is lived in the Pascal Mystery of death-Resurrection.
  2. It is in the dying we are brought to greater life in Him.
  3. We carry the cross, we look beaten, battered and torn and the glory of that day is the increased new life in Him that follows.
  4. Having been beaten, Jesus, the New Adam hung on the cross about to die.
  5. The glory of that new day was the life that came forth in the victory of the Resurrected Lord.
  6. We came forth, the children of Eve. We are given a sharing in His life through baptism. We are washed through the Sacrament of Reconciliation and we are refreshed more and more with a feeding of greater life in Him in the Holy Eucharist.
  7. One Bread, one Body - one life rooted in Him.
  8. We die to those things that are not like Him. We are refreshed with increased life in Him.
  9. He ascended into heaven and He left the work of reaching the world in our hands.
  10. We are commissioned in baptism to do His work, the work of the Good Shepherd. We offer ourselves, our lives, in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in which the Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present.

    We identify with Him. We are one in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We offer a most pure sacrifice to the Father united in the holy Hearts of the New Adam and the New Eve.

  10. 1 Corinthians 15:54-55

    A hymn of triumph, Conclusion

Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. 19

Father Carter appeared as a pillar of light.

July 4, 1996

This message was received before a live statue of the Sorrowful Mother after Communion.

Message from Jesus: "Peace will abound when nations, churches, families and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary."

"Fr. Carter is a pillar of light to the dark world. This is the explanation of the photo. It is through him, I will turn darkness to light. Circulate this message with the picture. Encourage all to consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to join the Shepherds of Christ Chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement to pray for your Church and your world.

Messenger: Speaking of conquering the devil we quote:


Revelation 12:11

They have triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of death they did not cling to life.


Isaiah 55:10-11

For, as the rain and the snow
    come down from the sky
and do not return
    before having watered the earth,
fertilising it and making it germinate
to provide seed for the sower
    and food to eat,
so it is with the word
    that goes from my mouth:
it will not return to me unfulfilled
or before having carried out
    my good pleasure
and having achieved
    what it was sent to do.
