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.

Please Come!!

 


 

July 20, 2002

Messenger:         Today I went to Mass and I cried so deeply.
                        I remember a beautiful picture of a priest at the
                        consecration of the Mass holding up the
                        Eucharist and Jesus was hanging from the
                        cross right behind the Eucharist.
                        Today the priest at Mass said Jesus is the Lamb
                        of God and it touched me so deeply and I
                        received a special grace to feel the presence
                        of the Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

                            I cried so deeply being so wrapped in that deep
                        embrace of God's love wanting the Mass and
                        this time to never end. I longed for heaven to be 
                        united to Him in such love forever. I received the
                        host and the precious Blood, it was such a gift.
                        I could never express this on paper.

                            As I write about this hours later it is
                        difficult to write about the great experience I 
                        received.

                            I am so actively involved in the Mass, being so deeply
                        united to my Divine God and loving Him so deeply.
                        The Mass today was the Mass of the Blessed Virgin 
                        and the priest I know was a very holy priest. I so deeply 
                        felt the great gift God gives us in the Mass. I pray so 
                        deeply uniting to God, all three Persons, and praying for 
                        grace, I intercede through the Blessed Mother, and 
                        St. Joseph and St. Ignatius and St. Xavier and all my 
                        favorite saints. This is so deep in my soul and I am 
                        united to God and the angels and saints and the souls 
                        in purgatory. I am so united to the members of the
                        Church and I want so much that grace will
                        be released so the souls of this earth will
                        know the love of God and do His will. I pray
                        that the people of the earth will make Jesus
                        the King and Center of their hearts. The time
                        after communion soon passes and I just
                        want this time to continue and I want to be
                        with Him like I am after communion and
                        in the Mass.

                            I pray so deeply for the Bishops and all the
                        priests of the Church and all the intentions
                        of the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of
                        Jesus, these intentions are engraved in my soul.
      

  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 20, 2002 message continues

Messenger:         I identify with Christ. I offer myself so
                        completely to God for the sake of the souls
                        of the earth I love so deeply.

                            The words I write here are feeble and the
                        picture I paint is hardly a speck of what I know
                        and experience. God beckons me to write of
                        the gifts He gives to man.

                            The gift God gives to us is Himself in
                        the Holy Eucharist.

                            Oh God, I love You so much.

                            After the Mass I prayed as Jesus had instructed
                        Fr. Carter to pray as Apostles of the Eucharistic
                        Heart of Jesus.

     


                 

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.

    


    

July 20, 2002 message continues

Messenger:         Jesus gave me a message today how much it would
                        help the priests and the Church and the world if
                        Bishops helped to promote the Apostles of the
                        Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement.

   

    

July 20, 2002 message continues

Messenger:     Jesus told me to have 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 20, 2002 message continues

Messenger:     Put on a very little card and laminated so
                        people will pray for this as Apostles of the
                        Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and offer their
                        lives in the Morning Offering for these
                        intentions.

                            They should carry the little card until they
                        know it by heart.

   

    

July 20, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        We must do all we can to get people to be
                        Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus—
                        Jesus wants this.

                        Here is a demessagetized version you can give to 
                        your priests and bishops with the red prayer manual.
                        Give this to them with a membership form.

    


 

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus


My dear fellow Associate Members,

    There is a new prayer movement which has been started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. We are 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 given. 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.

    This new prayer movement within the Shepherds of Christ Ministries is a powerful way to help in the renewal of the Church and the world. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, has been given to this movement.

    Rita Ring is the coordinator for this activity.

    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.

  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. He wants us to come to the Blessed Sacrament and pray to Him for them. Our prayers are especially powerful when we are before the tabernacle.

    If you feel Jesus is calling you to be an apostle of His Eucharistic Heart, please complete the membership form. Please circulate this brochure and the sign-up forms. This is a call to priests, sisters, and laity, including children. The Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus do not have to be a member of the Shepherds of Christ chapters. There is such power in His Eucharistic Heart. Let us join one another and answer this call today. Adoration should begin as soon as possible.

    Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus will receive the Shepherds of Christ Newsletter. It is very important to send in the membership form as soon as possible so we can send you the newsletter and any new information about the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

    As apostles, we will receive abundant graces from God and help bring about the renewal of the Church and the world. May you know the burning love of His Heart.

Messenger:     When I went to Florida to pray
                        for the priests, the Church and the 
                        world and we connected with so many
                        states praying united as we do every
                        5th and 13th for the priests, the Church
                        and the world through a broadcast system
                        so we can pray together.

                        We pray so deeply, united to the Mass
                            for these intentions.

                        We especially pray for the Bishops and
                            hierarchy of the Church.

   

   

         


  

March 5, 1998 - 9th Day

Messenger:  My dear Bridegroom,
    I see now the plan of the Father and that we are all children in His holy family. This is how we must see the world. It is His, we are one, He is our Father. We would not talk about our brother, we would love him. Always love him, as a brother in the holy family of the Father. We must keep our family pure. Each family is a little family of the Father's family, we are all related as the children of Eve, but this life in the Spirit, this relationship is all in the Spirit. If we understand generations and blood lines, we should clearly understand the connections of this family living as children of God. As we read in John 1:13, "who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will, but from God Himself."

He is the Initiator. We are the ones responding to His initiative. He is the life. He is the light.

John 1: 3-8

Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
    except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not overpower it.

A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
    through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.

Thus it states: The witness of John (John 1:23)

So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied:

A voice of one that cries in the desert:
Prepare a way for the Lord.
Make his paths straight!'

All division will be finished, the hills leveled, the valleys filled in for there will be one flock and one Shepherd, one family of the Father.

The Son, the Word, reveals the Father, thus: John 1:1,3 he begins,

In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.

Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
    except through him.

Zachariah was struck dumb for not believing, John was the voice to prepare the way of the Lord.

I saw John the Baptist in Conyers, Georgia April 14 or 15, 1993. I had experienced the loss of my voice, I was struck speechless.

The voice that came forth was His to prepare the way for the Lord of Hosts.

His voice speaks in these teachings, the voice of the Good Shepherd in Father Carter's and my revelations.

Here is John's testimony: '...Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.' (John 1: 29)

Prayer for Priests

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen"

                           

July 20, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:   If you worried about all the things you could
                            worry about would you ever be done worrying?

   

   

July 20, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:    Would you ever have time to smell the flowers?

                         Some people just look at things from a
                            negative side, they are constantly worrying,
                            constantly dissatisfied.

                        Do you think a person that is always
                            down and sad and worried would
                            sell a product before people?

                        Are you Christians?
                        You should be happy!!
                        I am God!

                        I can make gold fall from the sky.
                        I have given you the beautiful golden
                            Lady in Clearwater.

                        Some people are always looking for some human
                            person or some thing to make them happy.

                        They look to the children, the job, a
                            special friend, the postman, even
                            the e-mail- They think this will be the
                            very thing to make them happy - thinking
                            happiness depends on something outside
                            of themselves.

                        The luster of the shiny car soon wears off.

                        So much focus is being placed on food.

                        A person that is considered "heavy" can be
                            looked on as a real outcast.

                        There were many saints with fuller bodies.

                        I see the heart of the person.

                        I know the sins of the flesh.

                        I see the murder of the babies in the womb.

                        I see the luring dress, the music that is
                            not according to the commandments.

                        I see the soul.

                        How are you in your heart?

                        Have you sinned against God, but every
                            calorie is counted and you know every
                            fat cell in everything you eat.

                        Oh that you would be so concerned for food for your soul.

                        Beauty, real beauty comes from within.

                        Ask for grace to quit the negative
                            things you do every day.

                        I do not refer to discussion about problems.
                        You must address real problems and discuss
                            problems with each other.

                        I refer to the chronic way one
                            complains and finds something
                            wrong with most things, often
                            not counting your blessings,
                            often missing the tremendous gifts
                            you have been given.

                        Be grateful, be loving, thank God
                            for the gifts given to you.

                        So many times I give great gifts to
                            people and they do not even notice
                            the gifts they are given, they complain
                            and continue to complain, it
                            becomes a habit, one that is very
                            hard to break. They continually live
                            this way, always looking for the
                            negative side of everything, even
                            pleasurable things, they complain,
                            they think negatively.

                        Look at the great gifts you are given.

                        Say thanks for the gifts given to you.

                        Pray to Me.

                        Rely on My Might.

                        I am the Almighty God.

                        I have all the Power.

                        See the children ——

    

  

  

  

   

July 20, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:     Some people think they are without faults
                            and criticize others. They spend little
                            time looking at their own faults so they
                            do not change their own bad habits.
                            They think if they change everything
                            around them, they will be happy.

                        Be loving.

                        Be kind.

                        Rely on My Might.

                        I am the Almighty God.
