Consecration Prayer for Peace
I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.
I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able, to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
Prayer for Grace for Election and our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Father Carter's message
really address DEATH
This was 4 months before
he died.
August 14, 2000
Fr. Carter’s homily
‘The Son of man is going
to be delivered into the
power of men; they will put
him to death, and on the
third day he will be raised
up again.’ (Matthew 17:
22-23)— words towards
the beginning of today's
Gospel. Jesus paved the
way in a very special way
for all His disciples but in
also a unique way for those
who were to be martyred,
and today we celebrate the
memory of one of those
martyrs, St. Maximilian
Kolbe. So for the cause of
the Father as Jesus gave
Himself up to death—so
the martyrs for the cause of
the Father, in Christ, gave
themselves up to
martyrdom. They realized
that this life here upon
earth is only a relative
good. They would not trade it
in a million years in denial
of Christ for the saving of
that life, trading it for
eternal life. Their whole
being shuddered at this
idea. They realize that this
life—good as it is—is not
the ultimate life, eternal life
is. And yet paradoxically in
a type of contradiction
according to the minds of
some, the ones who think
in a worldly way, they
cannot realize that these
very martyrs who gave up
life upon this earth took it
with utter seriousness,
much more, with much
more seriousness than do
those who do not believe in
eternal life. And why do
they take it with utter
seriousness, this life which
they gave up in
martyrdom? Because they
realized it was a
preparation for eternal life
and they made the most of
it. They knew that each day
of their lives their eternity
was being shaped, and
that's why the saints who
even died at an early age,
for instance St. Theresa of
Lisieux, died at the age I
believe it was 24, St.
Claude de Columbiere, the
great apostle of the Sacred
Heart, died at the age of 41.
His great partner in
spreading the devotion of
the Hearts of Jesus and
Mary, St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque died at the age of
43. Two of the young Jesuit
saints, seminarians, died in
their twenties. So these
saints who died at a
relatively early age, we
know how much
importance they put upon
each day, because they
knew each day was
shaping their eternities and
those whom they were
called to help on the way to
eternal life.
So let us not waste our days,
each day is so
precious. We speak of the
age old mountains, the
deathless stars, the eternal
hills. And yet these
expressions we have for
timelessness are only a
faint indication of the
timelessness of eternity. So
let us look upon each day
as a precious opportunity
to help shape our eternities
according to God's will and
help others to shape their
eternities according to
God's will. Even the longest
life passes so quickly. Our
days are numbered—let us
remember that. Let us
make the most of them.
The Book of Sirach reminds
us, in relationship to this
earth time-span and the
timelessness of eternity, we
read, "The length of his life
a hundred years at most.
Like a drop of water from
the sea, or a grain of sand,
such are these few years
compared with
eternity." (Sirach 18: 9-10)
Mary May 5, 2023 in grotto
in Clearwater
The Son of man is going to
be delivered into the power
of men; they will put him to
death, and on the third day,
he will be raised up again.
Matthew 17:22-23.
Many times a person dying
learns about living.
Life can speed on by and
we may not really know
about living, but we think
we do.
Jesus is life. Life is in Him.
He came to teach us about
life in Him.
John 19:25-27
Near the cross of Jesus
stood his mother and his
mother's sister, Mary, the
wife of Clopus, and Mary of
Magdala. Seeing his
mother, and that disciple
him he loved, standing near
her,
Jesus said to His
mother, ’Woman, this is your
son.’ Then to the disciple
he said,’This is your
mother.’
And from that hour the
disciple took her into his
home.
Do you know the corner fell
off the building at the Holy
Spirit Center
March 22,1994-Lucia’s
birthday. ( old seminary)
Fr Carter started the
movement and got
prayers- 4 months later
July 31,1994
Mary appeared to me daily
3 1/2 months later July 5,
1994 in the Holy Spirit Center.
Fr Carter began the Ministries of
the Shepherds of Christ

To me it makes sense,
Oct 13,1994.
The stone the builders
rejected has become the
cornerstone.
