Why was Jesus on the earth 33 years
and led a quiet life for so
much of it.
We would have possibly had Jesus
How did God create the world in
so few days? Look at the vastness of
it and all He did.
The Shepherds of Christ came with a
plan from Jesus given to Fr. Carter.
July 31, 1994
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)
The next day Mary appeared to me
August 1, 1994 and gave me this message
regarding the Priestly Newsletter —
August 1, 1994
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.

Since last August 15, 2006 we circulated
1/2 million Priestly Newsletters to Archbishops, bishops,
cardinals and 65,000 of Fr. Pasquini's
books.
July 15, 2007
Dear Fellow Shepherds of Christ,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.
God has called us to be united as a family in the Shepherds of Christ. We have received tremendous support from the Vatican recently with an important Cardinal writing the Introduction to Fr. John J. Pasquini’s most recent book Ecce Fides – which is written to help Catholics learn and defend their faith. We have also received several powerful endorsements from Cardinals and Bishops for Fr. John’s book on the Eucharist entitled Medicine of Immortality. Both these books are unpublished and we need funds to move forward.
Sadly, we also need funds to finish mailing the Prayer Priestly Newsletter and the Prayer Manual that bishop’s requested for their priests. About 25,000 newsletters are piled up in the China, Indiana community building ready to go, but we lack $17,000 in postage
This is a vocation — to pray deeply for the priests, the Church and the world and to help support the Newsletter and the Ministries.
Remember the image of Our Lady of Clearwater on the building. We have very special Fatima statues so you can have a special place of prayer in your homes, praying the rosary for your family and for the priests, the Church and the world. Those using the special statues will be united to us in a special way —We want you to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers for the priests, the Church and the world from your special place in your home.
Also Felix who did the original crucifix in Florida, has hand carved crucifixes with stands that are so gorgeous. These can be purchased, carved by Felix for your special prayer corner. Crucifixes and statues should be used especially praying for the priests, the Church and the world. Special Fatima/Clearwater Statue 27" plus crown $400, 18" plus crown $200, 11" $150 (shipping is additional). The 30” Crucifix is $750+$50 stand. It is best to pick up the Crucifix from our stores in Clearwater, Florida or in China, Indiana.Please help us with your prayers and funds so we can help complete the mission begun by Mary at Fatima — spreading the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus to all the priests, the Church and the world.
With love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
John Weickert
President, Shepherds of Christ.
Why did Jesus come a helpless baby in
a stable in Bethlehem. We, maybe, would
have written His life differently, brought
Jesus as a man with a suitcase ready
for work.
Jesus came to teach us about love —
baby coos — beautiful eyes, the beauty
of a child conceived in the
womb of Mary through the power
of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus came — think of the baby —
unable to talk, little arms flying and
little legs kicking in the air — Jesus
had the animals at His birth to keep Him
warm —
Would we have provided warmth for the
infant King with the breath of animals in a
stable with hay.
Jesus is the bread of life, Jesus had
little ears and hair and a little coo, why?
We would have probably written
His life so differently.
The Shepherds of Christ did not begin from a business —
God called us through Fr. Carter and my messages
to begin the Shepherds of Christ.
To survive we need to reach the people
with the message of the Priestly Newsletter
and how it goes to 80,000 priests every
month; all about the prayer chapters and
how Jesus told Fr. Carter the prayer
chapters were to pray and support the
Priestly Mailing. This was the major direction
given to us by Fr. Carter from Jesus. After
seeing 13 years of work into this movement
and know Mary first appeared to me in
my dining room July 17, 1993 calling me
to carry out this mission I see how solid
our Movement is designed by God, but what
needs to take place is this understanding
of the calling.
Shepherds of Christ primarily exists
to circulate the Priestly Newsletter but
we are not business people. God runs the
Movement and it is run on prayers and people
who go to Daily Mass, do one to several hours
of adoration daily —
It is a family, a family in which we
live deeply to be the children of God the
Father and our Mother Mary, and recognize the
tremendous gift of baptism — that we were
called to spread the Good News to all the earth.
This is not a little commitment — God has called
us to pray for the priests, the Church and the
world —
To send our love, support and the voice
of the Good Shepherd to the priests to encourage
and love them with the Father's message in
a world that is tainted.
The Newsletter is made up of the writings
of the popes, the scriptures, the wisdom of the
saints, very solid theologians.
Through our network of prayer and love
we thank God for our priests and the Church
and pray so deeply for them — with love in
our hearts and we love deeply the souls of the
world — the souls Jesus gave His life for.
Again I went on a business trip
to help out and there was only one Sunday Mass
9 o'clock and no weekday Masses in a prominent
place of travelers seeking the wonders of the
Creator in nature.
For me to be unable to attend weekly Mass
it has taken me deeply once again to
realize how deeply I am one with the
Masses going on around the world.
The connection is in our hearts -- I am
so united to the Masses going on around the
world — I am a member of the body of Christ —
I pray united deeply to the Masses going on
around the world.
I hear the voices of children in this
tainted world crying out to be taught about
love and to know God the Father and Mary
Our Mother, Children need to know the truth.
Children need to be taught in this vocation —
being a member of the body of Christ —
I hear the cry of the souls of the earth
that needs more and more priests — priests
who are so deeply united to Jesus — so holy —
so dedicated to their vocation —
If we see the dwindling priests in the
world and see the evil in the world — why
don't people listen to Jesus and help us form
these prayer chapters — devoted to the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary, praying deeply for the priests,
the Church and the world.
We can go to so many beautiful places on the
earth God gave to us and forget about the
Creator, going to Mass, thanking God — spreading
His love.
God called you to help us — to pray for the
priests, the Church and the world — to not watch
fewer and fewer priests become a reality —
Why don't you pray?
What do we leave to our children?
Do we want one Mass in an area — one a week —
How do we expect God to keep blessing us
with priests, sisters and the service of the
Church, but not even want to encourage
young men in our families to be priests,
to bring us the Eucharist. How come we don't
get it — the POWER IS IN THE EUCHARIST —
The Power is in God —
God gives us the gift of the Priest and the
Church, Jesus remains with us truly present
in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist —
The more we spread the Devotion to the Sacred
Heart and Immaculate Heart — the more we will
live as one, the greater the peace and love from
devotion to these 2 Hearts of love.
Are you afraid — find peace in these 2 Hearts —
consecrate homes and families and Churches — Individuals
should consecrate themselves —
Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary:
I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
I will establish peace in their homes.
I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
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.
Promises of Our Lady to Those Who Pray the Rosary
Over the years, in various apparitions, Mary has stressed the importance of the rosary. She has promised great blessings to those who pray the rosary. To St. Dominic and to Blessed Alan she stated:
Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.
I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
The Rosary shall be a powerful armour against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
I have obtained from my Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.1
