    Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately.

I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

ABOUT THE APOSTLES OF THE EUCHARISTIC HEART OF JESUS AND ABOUT PRAYER

Messenger:        When I go to do my hour as an Apostle of
                        the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I want to pray
                        with all my heart before Jesus. I pray to
                        the Father, united so deeply to Jesus, dwelling
                        in His Most Sacred Heart, I pray in the
                        Holy Spirit, I pray through the intercession
                        of Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our
                        Lady of Clearwater, I pray through the
                        intercession of all the angels and saints and
                        especially our founder Fr. Carter, the
                        one who received this message to begin
                        this movement.

                            I unite my prayers to all popes and
                        bishops and priests who have passed on and
                        are in heaven and I unite to Jesus in the
                        Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I pray united
                        to the souls in purgatory.

                            I talk to Jesus and ask Him to help our
                        Pope and Cardinals and Bishops, and
                        priests and all religious in the Church to do
                        God's will.

                            I beg Him to help them to see the sign
                        given in Our Lady of Clearwater and not
                        ignore this message any longer.

                            I pray with all my heart there will be
                        more Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of
                        Jesus praying before the Blessed Sacrament
                        for grace for our Church and the world
                        as Jesus told Fr. Carter to do.
                        Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
                        pray for these 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.

    

July 17, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        This is serious—the condition of the
                        world—the need for this special prayer.

                            Jesus told Fr. Carter to start this Movement
                        in the message He gave him the beginning of
                        1996 and pray for these intentions.

                            It is really important we realize how Jesus
                        wants us to do this. So much grace could be
                        released if people faithfully pray as Apostles of
                        the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus as Jesus has asked.

  

  

July 17, 2002 message continues

Messenger:     We need people all over the world praying
                        as Jesus has asked Fr. Carter to do for
                        the priests, the Church and the world.

A Message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

Very carefully discerned by Fr Cater

Jesus speaks: 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. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.

Messenger:     If you are an Apostle of the Eucharistic
                            Heart of Jesus, please pray your
                            2 hours weekly for our Church and the
                            the intentions Jesus gave Fr. Carter.

                            Jesus has asked apostles, servants and
                        handmaids to do one hour daily before
                        the Blessed Sacrament and attend daily
                        Mass. If you have not been as attentive
                        to this as you should, begin now being very
                        attentive to this daily calling.

                            Jesus wants us praying at 6:20 if we can.
                        If we cannot pray at 6:20 we should try to 
                        pray the yellow book and red book and the
                        rosary daily.

                            My dear apostles, your prayers are
                        so needed and can help to bring down
                        great grace—always pray your morning
                        offering and offer all you do united to the
                        Mass as a sacrifice every day for the
                        priests, the Church and the world.

Messenger:     Dear Jesus,

                            Please help our Church and the
                        Clergy. Thank you for this great gift
                        given to us. We love you so much.

   

  


        

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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

            


   

  

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.

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.

    Jesus wants so much for us to come and be with Him. He is no less present in the tabernacle than the day He walked the earth. He will listen to our heartfelt prayers as Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. His Heart beats in deepest love for us. How He loves His beloved priests and religious.

Messenger:     Dear Apostles and members in the Shepherds of Christ,

                            The devil doesn't like what we are doing in
                        trying to get all to pray the prayers Jesus gave
                        to Fr. Carter where people consecrate their hearts
                        to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray for
                        the priests, the Church and the world.

                            It is so important Bishops consecrate their
                        dioceses to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate
                        Heart and encourage all in their dioceses
                        to do this.

  

  

July 17, 2002 message continues

Messenger:         Please pray as never before that Bishops
                        consecrate their dioceses to the Sacred Heart and
                        Immaculate Heart. That families consecrate themselves
                        to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and
                        that the souls of the earth consecrate their
                        hearts to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate
                        Heart. Pray that places, churches, schools,
                        homes are consecrated to the Sacred Heart
                        and Immaculate Heart.

                        How will the Sacred Heart of Jesus Reign in the hearts
                            of the people? They must make Him the King and
                            Center of their hearts. They must make Him the King
                            and Center of the churches and schools and home.
                            Encourage all to put pictures of the Sacred Heart
                            and Immaculate Heart in churches, schools and homes.

                        Here is a short consecration for people.

Messenger:     You can click on for consecrations for homes
                            and places. They are in both English
                            and Spanish.

April 12, 1999

Jesus speaks: I wish a card to be circulated extensively. All that is necessary to consecrate a place to My Heart and My Mother's Heart is that the people wish to do so and say that they consecrate the place and the people that dwell there to Our Hearts. It is understood that you are entrusting people who live or come there to the care of Our Two Hearts. Pictures or statues of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart should be displayed somewhere in the dwelling. Some persons, if not all, should spend time in devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart before the pictures, daily if possible. This consecration should be renewed daily if possible.

I wish all who receive this message to circulate this material so that the whole world will be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusI Died For You

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 23, 1994 (excerpt)

Jesus:  Priests will create little cities, little cities in each church to spread the light of Christ to this sick world. Each priest can create his own little city, a powerhouse of God's love. God has all the power. His power is endless. It never runs out. It is might. You have no power except through Him. Churches filled with the intimate love of Jesus will be powerhouses.
