                R. Jesus does give messages — He came to
                teach us how to love — To give us the Father's
                Plan — Jesus was sent by the Father — The Father
                so loved the world He sent His only begotten
                Son into the world — Jesus is our Savior —
                We need to be saved —

                We have a tainted heart — If we pick and choose
                how we will love depending on how others
                give to us — It is us following our Plan —
                Jesus came to teach us about the Father's
                Plan — There is one true God — when we
                put other things on the throne where
                God is to be first we are worshipping
                a false god —

                    God is to be first — His Plan is to
                be our Plan —

                The Plan has not changed —

                Adam and Eve sinned and we have a tainted
                heart because of our wounded human nature.
                We can seek dominance for dominance
                sake, we can make our own plan and
                ignore God and the purpose for why He
                put us here —

                    We belong to God, the world is God's —
                We are to live and serve God and love God and
                others — we were created in the image and
                likeness of God — Jesus came to teach us
                how He was, how we are to be —

                    Solomon was given so many gifts.
                Solomon asked for wisdom but he let
                other gods of his wives in the palace and
                he, himself, toward the end of his life
                worshipped false gods.

                    Today there are so many false gods —
                We can worship man-made-inventions —
                We, if we ignore God and His plan, can
                keep seeking things here to satisfy us and
                yet we are never satisfied — more and more
                searching to fill this craving inside
                that can only be satisfied by God —

                    20 years ago for 6 weeks I heard the
                message, before I received these messages —
                I heard this day and night for 6 weeks "Feed the hungry" —
                Men are searching today — children so over-
                stimulated, demanding their way, and they
                want their way — Where God gives us the 4th
                commandment

                      4. Honor your father and your mother. 

                and children need to obey their parents —
                and children need to learn about God's plan —
                not more and more competition, fighting,
                    violence, things of this world —
                    man's plan, not God's plan. God
                    wants us one day to go to heaven —

                So God allowed Mary to appear to me to
                    tell me what He wanted —
                    Love —
                    Holiness —
                    Hearts obedient to God's will —
                    Attendance at Mass —
                    The Morning Offering
                    Devotion and Consecration to the Hearts
                        of Jesus and Mary —

                After Mary appeared every day July 5, 1994 —
                    to September 5, 1995 her messages about
                    the Eucharist, the rosary, loving
                    from the pure and tender Hearts
                    of Jesus and Mary, consecration and
                    devotion to Their 2 Hearts —
                    The school rosary program —

                Spreading the Consecration to Jesus and
                    Mary to school children —
                    praying the rosary
                    children praying the rosary,

                but the message was not heard —

                I still see Mary as she appeared over
                    and over again daily for 14 months
                    16 and 17 years ago —

                And then on December 17, 1996 after all
                    her messages — God gave us this book
                    from those visits

   

shipped from the printers
December 17, 1996

Mary appeared
December 17, 1996

 
                R. With the sign of His love given
                    with the rainbow — a reminder
                    of His love and the Covenant
                    made with Noah —

                Jesus told me He wanted this message
                    with the image in Florida

   

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

end of Mary's Message

          

                R. What does that say —

                The image at Clearwater was for Their
                    purpose —

                A message to a rebellious world about
                    reaching the children —

                Children today are being born of parents
                    many rebelling against a good and loving
                    God —

                Mary cries in this message for her
                    children — the children being taught
                    rebellion, wanting their own way,
                    violence —

                Children being taught to ignore God —

                The deterioration of the family —
                    the father needs to focus on love,
                    on teaching love to the children —
                    where the father is kind and focused
                    on giving love to the children based
                    on the heavenly Father's Plan —
                    not competition — getting ahead —
                    being the best sports person, the
                    smartest child — better than one's
                    neighbor —

                We were created to love and help each
                    other bring forth fruit for the
                    Kingdom — to be always aware
                    of our heavenly Father — what
                    His Plan is for us —

                Learning His Plan —

                Adoring and Worshipping God —

                Seeing our life here to know, love
                    and serve our God —

                This is the Plan of the Father —

                The children today are crying out in
                    their disobedience, they are being
                    taught to ignore God, many of
                    them, don't pray and scream to get
                    what they want — many want what they
                    want when they want it — They don't
                    mind violating boundaries to get it —

                Jesus wants us to be more and more in
                    His image and likeness —
                    He came to earth to teach us this —
                    to see through the eyes of God —
                    To please God —
                    To do the will of the Father —
                    To live by the commandments —

                We can see the life of Solomon and
                    how he taxed them to get more and more,
                    greedy, selfish, power, lust,
                    how he, himself, toward the
                    end of his life worshipped false gods —

                What of these false gods we worship here,
                    we teach our little ones to worship,
                    more stimulation,
                    more indulgence,
                    willfulness,
                    violence,
                    getting ahead —

                We need to realize our dependence on
                    God —

                Love through the pure and holy Heart
                    of Jesus

                As long as we give into our tainted ways, with
                    jealous hearts, envious hearts, seeking
                    dominance for dominance sake, prideful
                    hearts, lustful hearts, greedy hearts —
                    we will act with taintedness and
                    the world will not grow in the
                    direction of holiness and pleasing God the
                    Father as we are called by God to do —

                Eve wanted to be equal to God —

                God is over us —

                God created us with a purpose —

                We need to spread the consecration and
                    devotion to the 2 Hearts if we
                    want peace in the world —

                Mary is telling us what the truth is —
                    we don't listen —

                There are places all over the world to
                    pray quietly —

                The Clearwater site is to hear this
                    message from heaven —
Daily —
 

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

end of Mary's Message

          

                R. The messages Jesus has given is why she
                    appeared there —

                The love letters people need to love
                    through the pure and holy Hearts of
                    Jesus and Mary, so they are giving
                    love: unselfishly, pure love to the world
                    so they are not selfish — caved in —

                We need to do what Jesus and Mary told
                    us to do —

                Spread these messages —

                Show Mary's image —

                Spread the DVD's of the 5ths
                    far and wide — so people know

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."

From the new Cycle B Homily Book

Building the Kingdom of Truth

    The Eucharist and the Word is the Bread of Life – In this world with distorted vision – we spread this book to you – Focusing on the Word – The Word alive in our Hearts – Reflecting on the Word – THIS IS TRUTH

    The more we live the Word in our lives, the more we live Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection in our lives – the more we know the truth and see more clearly the vision of our heavenly Father –

    We have been given the Catholic Church – Pillar of truth – We have been given the Word – We have been given the Commandments –

    Because of original sin we have distorted vision – Living in the Word . . obeying the Commandments – Living according to the Church’s teachings helps us to live in the truth – to see more the vision of the Father – We know in this distorted world – THE TRUTH! !

    We pray the Our Father at Mass – We focus on our Heavenly Father and His Plan for us – We want unity as children of God

    In spreading these homilies and our writings on the Eucharist – we want men to be fed more and more with the Bread of Life – We want to live in the truth – We want to live in greater faith, hope and love – To live in unity –

    To date – 17 years – we have circulated 15,000,000 Priestly Newsletters loose and in books from Fr. Carter and other priests.

    We have begun prayer chapters in 8 languages with the Church's Imprimatur, around the world, so there is a network of prayer out there praying for our priests, the Church and the world –

    If we have this devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, we are helping ourselves to be more united in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary as Mary asked for at Fatima –

    When we die there will be a network of prayer around the world praying for our beloved priests and the Church –

    This to me is the greatest gift I can give to my children and grandchildren in helping more and more our holy priests – We hope people love God and others as they dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    We pray people love the Church more and more and thank God for this precious gift of the Church and the priest and the Word – We pray people live as strong members of the mystical body of Christ –

    The world is in so much need of prayer and that deep relationship with Mary, Mother of the Church – The Holy Spirit works in that Spousal union with Mary helping us to do God's will –

    Thank you for your willingness to answer God’s call in focusing on the Word and praying for the priests, the Church and the world with us –

    May God bless you in your mission of loving and serving God and helping to build the Kingdom of God.

    May the Light of Christ shine on the earth as we live more holy lives in Him and in His Word –

    We should respond enthusiastically to Christ’s call to help build up the Kingdom of truth and love, of justice and that the peace of Christ is spread on this earth.

John 15: 5-6

I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch –and withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire and are burnt.
 

    We get our life from Jesus – He is the vine – we are the branches – A branch cannot bear grapes if it is disconnected from the vine – We cannot do anything without Him

Sing: Bread of Life

Excerpt from November 4, 2001

Jesus speaks:  To those who pray My prayers I
                        promise the following special
                        graces:

                                 - A deeper understanding of the 
                                     Divine Mysteries through fervent
                                     recitation of the litanies.

                                 - I promise a deeper love in your heart
                                     for your God and a deeper love
                                     for your fellowmen.

                                 - Those who pray the prayers fervently
                                    will experience a deep union 
                                    in My Heart and My Mother's heart,
                                    they will be given special insights
                                    into My unfathomable love for men
                                    and experience a thirsting within
                                    themselves to want to help souls
                                    through intercessory prayer and sacrifices.

                                 - They will have a deeper love of the Mass
                                    through this deeper consecration.
                                    [consecration to Their Hearts]

                                 - They will know Me more intimately.

                                 - They will want to live their lives to 
                                    help save souls.

                                 - They will have a deeper love for the priests shepherds.
                                 - They will have a deeper love and dedication
                                    to the Church. (I founded)

                                 - They will want peace on the earth.
                                 - They will want peace in their own hearts.

                                 - You will experience a fearlessness the more
                                    you pray the Holy Spirit Novena prayers
                                    given to you.

                                 - As you meditate on the scriptures you will
                                    understand more fully the plan of
                                    the Father to lead the souls into the
                                    great Reign of My Sacred Heart.

                                 - You and all who pray the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers will be
                                    united in a deep oneness with each other
                                    and the souls of the earth.

                                 - The more you pray these prayers (both sets)
                                    you will live in the truth as you
                                    dwell in Our Hearts.

                                  - You will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit.

                                  - You and your family will be protected by
                                    My Precious Blood and your families
                                    will receive special protection
                                    against satan from fervent recitation
                                    of the prayers. (the Holy Spirit Novena
                                    and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers)

                                 - I promise to take you and the members of
                                    your family in a special way
                                    into My Sacred Heart. I will lavish
                                    you in the fires of My love.

                                 - The priests and the people of the Church and the world
                                    will receive special graces from the fervent
                                    recitation of these prayers. (both sets)

                                 - I will unite My people in a deeper love
                                    from the graces granted from
                                    fervent recitation of these prayers.

                                 - I give these prayers from My image site
                                    in Florida.
                                   I appear there daily as the Sacred Heart.
                                   Some see Me, some do not, but there
                                    is a special presence there.
                                   My Mother appears there for her children.

                                 - In the five years of her apparitions many
                                    souls who have come have been
                                    given special graces of conversion.
                                    Many have been given grace to lead
                                    them into a deeper love union with
                                    God and the Blessed Virgin.

                                 - The image site in Florida has touched
                                    the world.

                                 - I outpour great grace to those who come
                                    to the site.

                                 - There are tremendous graces of healing
                                    granted to all who come.

                                 - People who come rarely leave unchanged.
                                 - The grace granted works in their lives and in
                                    their hearts, long after they have gone.

                                 - A reminder of their visit only need be given
                                    and they experience a memory of
                                    that moment.

                            I ask you to circulate the prayers I have
                                given, the Shepherds of Christ Prayers 
                                and the Holy Spirit Novena prayers.

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

                R. Babies are a gift, but
                    they come in pain and labor — 
 

Genesis 3: 16-19

To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.

To the man he said, ‘Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn your food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.’

  

                R. God spoke to Abraham and Jacob and
                    Moses

                In the Old Testament men suffered making
                    journeys to obey the Lord —

                We are to follow in the footprints
                    of Jesus —
                    to take up our cross —
                    to take up our cross —
                    to take up our cross —

                Not grumble like the Israelites — like
                    they did in the desert

                They grumbled and they tested God
                    more and more and He
                    had to teach them with
                    more oppression, more suffering.

                God wants obedience!!
                God will bless us if we do
                    what He asks —

                He told St. Margaret Mary

 

 

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart: 

    1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
    2. I will establish peace in their homes.

    3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
    4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
    5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
    6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
    7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
    8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
    9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
    10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
    11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
    12. 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.

 

                R. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah
                    sinned against God, but
                    we see God's mercy to the
                    ones who seek it and
                    serve God —

                God created us — out of all
                    the possible people He
                    could have created, God
                    created us —

                He has a purpose for our lives —

                We are to serve Him —

                In the Shepherds of Christ, Jesus called
                    them Handmaids of the Good Shepherd
                    and Servants of the Good Shepherd
 



                This is His Plan for the Shepherds of Christ —
                That we are Servants and Handmaids of the Good Shepherd.

                Jesus was the suffering servant —
 

Isaiah 50: 4-7

Lord Yahweh has given me 
    a disciple’s tongue, 
for me to know how to give 
    a word of comfort to the weary. 
Morning by morning 
    he makes my ear alert 
to listen like a disciple. 
Lord Yahweh has opened my ear 
and I have not resisted, 
I have not turned away. 
I have offered my back 
    to those who struck me, 
my cheeks to those 
    who plucked my beard; 
I have not turned my face away 
from insult and spitting. 
Lord Yahweh comes to my help, 
this is why insult has not touched me, 
this is why I have set my face like flint 
and know that I shall not 
    be put to shame. 

   

                R. Serving God —

                Knowing His vision is more
                    important than wealth and
                    vain power —

                Vision —

                The Father's Vision

                We can answer God's call —

                Than giving into jealousies, and
                    seeking vain power
                    for ourselves for
                    our vain glory —

                We must seek to serve God
                    in purity — as one under
                    God — not trying to raise
                    up for ourselves for power,
                    riches, affections for our
                    selfish interests — our ego —
                    for vain glory — being self-centered

                Abraham was so faithful
                    to the Lord he was willing
                    to sacrifice his and Sarah's
                    only son as God asked him
                    to do — God put Abraham
                    to the test — this shows
                    Abraham's faith for generations —
                    the account is given in the Word —

                God the Father gave His only Son
                    for love of us —

                Why can't we give God simple things
                    He asks for —

                The more we go against God and
                    live against His will —
                    the more deeply we become
                    blinded to seeing the real
                    vision of God —

                We need to pray for an increase in
                    faith, hope and charity —

                Here are the messages of the angel
                    from Fatima

 

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

Then, rising he said: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."

His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them (3)

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:

Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. (4)

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners." (5)

Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:

"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God." (6)

Reflecting upon these messages of the angel, we see how much they contain for our spiritual instruction.

                R. We have to do God's will — others,
                    should not try to block God's
                    plan for others by wishing
                    selfish affections of others called
                    by God to serve Him. When
                    God calls someone to do a special
                    work for building His Kingdom —
                    we should not block God's will
                    for our selfishness.

                Abraham obeyed the Lord when
                    He told him to take Isaac
                    and offer Him as a sacrifice —

                We can see Abraham's faith
                    and obedience all these years
                    later when we read the Word —

                And God tested Abraham and then God
                    spared Isaac after God tested
                    Abraham —

                God blessed Abraham and made him
                    the Father of many nations —

                When God knocks on our door and
                    asks us to do something —
                    do we put Him first?

                Will we answer "yes" Lord —
                    or "no" Lord,
                    my hurt feelings mean
                        more than You, God.
                    my power means more
                        than You, God —
                    my relationships with
                        others mean more
                        than You, God.

                Our fear can block us from doing what we should.

                We can give into fear and allow it to
                    dictate to us how we will act —

                So the devil, knows he can press down
                    on us with fear and we will probably give in —

                    Fear acted on against God's will can block love — 

1 John 4:17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.  

 

                R. God has blessed us —
                God gives us the Mass —
                We are so blessed —

                The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary
                    sacramentally made present —

 

 

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.

                R. We need to spread the Morning Offering.

 

Morning Offering (for Shepherds of Christ Members)

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and Rosary Meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit.

I unite with our Mother Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart.

I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart.

 


 

                R. Help me do what God has told us to
                    do —

                Dear Father

                    I unite my whole life to the Holy Sacrifice
                    of the Mass going on around the
                    world — I pray for obedience to
                    Thy will be done on this earth by
                    men, by the human race and they
                    quit offending God.

                God asked Abraham to sacrifice
                    that which was 'most-dear' to him —

                    And Abraham obeyed God —

                    Abraham put God first —

                    What about the things we are
                        attached to —
                        our ego —
                        our power —
                        our affections —
                        our hurt feelings —
                        our wealth —

                What can the devil tempt us with
                    to put ourselves before God?

                Jesus says:

                    Pray the rosary
                    Meditate on My life and the
                        life of My Mother —
                    Spread the Consecration as
                        I have asked —
                    Spread these messages —
                    Do your part and quit
                        fooling around —

                R. God gave us our life for a purpose —
                God loves us so much —
                God the Father, sent His only Son into
                    the world out of love
 

John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

 

Definition of Love

The definition of love used by Father Carter is as follows.

Love is the gift of self to promote the true good of those loved. He states the reception of love is the receiving of the gift of the other, so my good will be promoted. 

     

                R. We are to love God first and then give
                    that love to others — be an
                    instrument of love —

                Not To Act Like This —

                    (1) 'Love others if they love me' —
                    (2) 'If they don't love me then I
                        don't love them' —
                    (3) 'I love myself first' —
                    (4) 'I am focused on myself first' —
                    (5) My center is myself - not God —

                The center of our love must be
                    God — the Heart of Jesus
                    that was pierced for me —
                    the Heart of Jesus whereby
                    that love of God flows on
                    a sinful world because I love
                    Him first — I am an instrument of love —

                The Heart of Jesus was pierced
                    on Calvary and blood and water
                    poured out —

                Water for baptism
                Blood for the Eucharist —

                The Church — the fountain of His
                    life in the world —

 

 

 

                R. Help me to spread these messages
                    of His love in God's Blue Book —

                In the Mass Book —

                In the Rosary Books
                    (Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary)

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

end of Mary's Message

       

                R. Many people see themselves as center and leave out God —
                    'I do to you, if you do to me — attitude'

                     Or even worse —

                    'I do what I want to you to
                        raise myself up over
                        you and put you down' —

                Power can be a god

                Recognition for vain glory, a god —

                Vain glory for me, my god —

                An ego, a god.

                Where man is his own center — not God the center

                Who is on our throne?

                Is Jesus the King and Center of our
                    Hearts?

                Or are we on the throne and

                Do we love even-steven —
                If you love me, I will love you!

                Is God and His message of loving
                    us first — not a reality in
                    our lives —

                Do we judge our actions by our
                    stilted heart of self-pity —
                    if so, the devil can press on
                    us in old memories and we may
                    give in easily —

                We don't want to forget
                    God is first and
                    Forget the greatest commandment 
 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

  

                R. Who is the King and Center of our hearts? 

 

                R. Are we instruments of
                    God's love in which
                    His love flows through
                    us to the world,
                    because our heart is
                    in the Heart of Jesus —

                Or do we think we get filled
                    up by others —

                Do we see ourselves as
                    perfect and others as
                    violating us — not
                    filling us, wanting happiness
                    through others' love

                Here is a message Jesus gave
                    me

                I asked if He would use my
                    hand — what would He write
                    to the world —
 

16 Years Ago

October 5, 1992 - 3:30am

R.  Dear Jesus, Give me Your hand to write this book for you. I am your servant. I want to be Your hand to this world. If you, Lord Jesus, would write a book, what would you say?

Jesus:  My dear children,

   Today I come to deliver a message to each of you. I want to tell you of each person's dignity, of their beauty and their self-worth. Each child is, oh, so uniquely precious to My Most Sacred Heart. Each child is full of the talents I have given to them. Each person is divinely created by God and given all these gifts to be happy and love one another.

   The problem comes when you feel you will be left out. That you will be left by another who has trodden on you and will do it again. I see you all as My most precious children. I watch your every move and know all pain and anguish in your heart. My Heart aches, you have insecure feelings about yourself. I came to this earth I died for you. I felt cold, hungry, lonely on this earth. You need not worry that no one knows the pain and anguish in your heart. God created you with such special gifts and talents. It is important for you to raise above your wound and forgive those who hurt you.

   You need only turn your will and your life over to Me and I will guide you in all your ways. I have all the Power. Many are not of My ways. The key to life is to recognize your faults, but still know you are this precious gift of My Father a gift to this world. This world is in need of your strength. Running yourself down, blaming others hurting them can cause you misery and pain. At this very moment, you are the precious creation of God!! You must operate with Me in your heart.

   You need not run yourself down. I am with you every day guiding your ways, lest your foot stumble and you lose your way. You will not wander far from your path if every day you keep bringing your focus back to Me. If you dare let Me be at the helm, if you dare to really let Me run your life, I will do with you such wonders that you yourself would be amazed. But you will know with such ease when you did these things that you did not do them alone. You will know My power, moving the mountain, My power chipping at the stone, My power working on your hardest problem and you will be set free.

   Oh yes, you will be set free and know a serenity that only comes from letting go and letting Me run your life. To you, My child, I have given all that is good. I made you My holy soldier, My warrior in a world of pain and hatred. You are the light that shines in the darkness, you are the coat to a cold child, you are the smile that warms a troubled and lonely heart. You are the comfort for everyone you meet, because My most precious Heart powers you, smiles through you, understands and loves through you.

   Love your fellows for Me. There are so many troubled hearts that need to know My love. I can love through you if you let Me, I can be their friend through you if you let Me. I am He who comforts you and you are he who comforts them. My power is endless, it never runs out, there is not a power failure EVER. In your darkest hour, My light shines in the darkness and I say to you, "Oh blessed of My Father, look at yourself with awe, you are My creation, you are indeed so precious to Me, you are My light to this world, you are My hands and My feet and most of all My Heart."

   Oh, you are My loving Heart, to those who are bowed down, to those who are lost in the darkness, you carry My smile and wear My armor in a world that is trying to tear one another down with hate and ugliness. There is gentleness, there is love, there is hope in you, if you open yourself up to Me. Be My knight to the world, wear My armor. I am your God and I will protect you from the darkness. Plug into My power, be not afraid, I go before you always and you can rest in My arms when you feel weary. You can put your head in My lap and weep, you will know, I am truly with you and you are My light to this world. I created you so special - to cast out fear in the darkness, to clothe the naked, to give hope to the oppressed, to be as I live in you and love through you and you are My smile and I touch My hurting ones through your love.

   You are he who loves this world. You must stay plugged into My power-source. This world is hungry for My love. It needs My love, I give to them through you. I am your God and I made you as a gift to the world. You are filled.

    Focus on Me and your life will be abundant and whole, joy in suffering, freedom — but  you can take the knocks because you will know you do not go it alone, but with Me. I love you My precious child.

                R. My daughter, a child wrote
                    this message as Jesus dictated
                    it through me. Jesus wanted
                    this as the first message of
                    Blue Book I, May 13, 1993
                    in Blue Book I.

 


 

 

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Cling to Me
 

May 13, 1993 

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

                R. Filled up — I am filled up
                    by God

 

 

                R. 11 days before Mary appeared
                    in Clearwater — 
 

First Friday - December 6, 1996

Jesus: I am calling you as a family. You will be joined in one heart, acting as My Heart beating in this world. All the apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are joined in one Heart.

am_p180.gif (44585 bytes)

R. The core leaders will contact the coordinators. The coordinators will contact the individual apostles. All are apostles with a job directed by Jesus to do. Her peace plan was given at Fatima:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.

  3. We must observe the Five First Saturday devotion:
    - Communion, confession (within 8 days before or after the Saturday), recital of the rosary, meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary. All this is to be done in spirit of reparation.

  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

His plan centers around this.

We have heads functioning in the individual ministries. Everything we do leads to consecration of hearts. As the apostles press on the three institutions, the Church, family, and school to help spread the consecration, the strayed ones will be led home to His Heart.

Mary said at Fatima until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

The present condition of the world

am_p182.gif (16895 bytes)

Peace will come when hearts are hearts of love. The scales must shift. It will happen through the consecration. Mary's peace plan: until a sufficient amount of people consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace.

The Father looks to the earth; He sees much darkness.

Image3.gif (1823 bytes)

The Father looks to the earth. There are few hearts fervently in love with God. The hearts of love light up the earth. It is as lights on a Christmas tree. It is sparsely lighted by a few hearts. Therefore, the tree looks dark.

Image4.gif (2641 bytes)

As the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads (as well as other movements focused on spreading consecration to Their Hearts) the tree is covered with more hearts and the earth becomes more lighted.

The tree is covered with hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The tree is illuminated.

As the Shepherds of Christ apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family, and the school, the tree is covered with lights and the earth is covered with the fire of His love.

The Father looks to the earth now. He is displeased with the hearts of men. The Father wants us to love God and love each other. He wants us to live according to His will in love.

Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God. She tells us what we must do. Mary's peace plan:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.

  3. We must observe the First Saturday devotion.

  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Mary said there will be an era of peace, no matter what we do, in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

Man disobeys, the devil blocks the Fatima message. World War II happens just as Mary said.

Mary appeared to me for 14 months daily. She gives us the same message as Fatima. Jesus and Mary give us God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He writes His message of love on our hearts. His life lives in our hearts. The Scripture and the Mass live in our hearts.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, our focus is on the priest.

  16 Years Ago

June 26, 1995
The Pain - Naples, Florida

R. He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.

His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.

All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.

All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members.

The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.

A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.

Jesus: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh.

What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?

My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.

To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.

The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.

An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.

Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.

My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.

The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body.

The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.

You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings.

Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of thorns.

This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for and this is their return.

A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.

You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men.

All functions in the body were stopped.

The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.

R. All signals that carried messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender His flesh.

Jesus: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your spirit.

R. Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.

Jesus: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass.

An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.

You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.

R. Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.

Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.

And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a message of love to one another.

The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head.

They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ.

My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.

Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love that are not being transmitted.

Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire for love of God.

You have ignored the importance of these letters.

I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world.

My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these letters.

The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.

I am speaking to you, the founder, to help to get these messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world.

Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church.

You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to the Church and this world.

My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.

The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.

Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.

I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it stop.

Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with the founder and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

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

 

                R. "Help me to die to self" —

                The devil wants us to focus
                    on ourselves —
                    to fear —
                    to be full of self —
                    CAVED IN —

                God is love —

                The devil wants people to forget
                    about God —

                The devil wants people to
                    fear of not being loved —

                We can forget how much God loves
                    us — (the Blue Books are the gifted love letters of Jesus)

                The devil can attack us with
                    negative thinking that we give into —
                    like chains that become thick
                    habits — like
                    jealousies — or like
                    seeing our brother as trying
                        to get ahead of me and
                        resenting it —

                    Rather than seeing everyone as
                        part of God's plan and loving
                        them —

                We are the family of God —

                Like Jealousies that keep us from
                    letting ourselves live
                    happy lives and hurting others
                    with our sins that can block
                    others trying to do God's will —

                God gave us the commandment
                    to love others —

                In marriage there is to be
                    that love of the husband
                    for his wife — he does not
                    leave her mentally —
                    lust after other women —
                    even though he stays married — he
                    has left her every day in his heart —

   

Ephesians 5: 21-32

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, since, as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything. Husbands should love their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words, so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and the two become one flesh. This mystery has great significance, but I am applying it to Christ and the Church.

   

                R. Love is to be given in
                    marriage where we
                    know men will not
                    leave their wives mentally
                    lusting after other women —
                    even when they stay married —

                Men are to follow Christ —

                Men are to teach boys to
                    love their wives — to
                    love their boys and to
                    teach them to be a man
                    loving and kind like Jesus —
                    a leader like Jesus for what
                    is right, what is truth.

                Why aren't men teaching boys
                    to be loving like Jesus —

                Jesus came to this earth to
                    teach us how to be
                    a more and more perfect
                    son of God —
                    a good lover with a
                    genuine, loving, kind, truthful
                    heart — to teach love to children not
                    violence, hardness of heart, competition —

                Rebelling against God's will
                    is what Adam and Eve
                    did —

                We have tainted hearts because
                    of original sin —

                God has given men and women
                    each other to love —
                    what a gift —
                    women are not to be used
                        as a pleasure person, —
                        a sex symbol —
                    women are given as
                        a gift from God
                        to men —

                Men are to love their
                    wives — to love
                    their families —

                To lead them in love —
                As Christ loves the Church —

                The family is like a little
                    Church —

                The family is to help the
                    unity in the Church community.

                The love is ever more
                    in that Church community
                    because of the love of
                    that particular loving
                    family — the love of
                    husband and wife — the
                    love of the family —
                    brother for brother and
                    sister for sister —

                like olive plants around
                    the table —

                We are to teach love to our
                    children — not competition —
                    fighting, biting, getting
                    ahead, disobedience,
                    violence —

                Children are to obey their parents.

                Children learn about obeying
                    the heavenly Father by
                    learning to obey their parents —

                Children are to be disciplined —
                    not treated with every
                    whim they want and they
                    become so demanding —
                    parents can't control them —

                Children are to be learning,
                    obeying —

II. Begin the 6:30 prayer service

  1. Begin praying:  Dear Father in the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary, with all the angels and the saints and the souls in purgatory, we join in one mind and one heart and ask the Holy Spirit to come to all the world in a special way, especially to our priests. We pray all prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We beg for grace and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven for offending one another. We love You God, help us.

  2. Sing A Song from Jesus.   Refrain:  "I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior.  I am your God, I died for you, I come to you this day."

  3. Then begin the prayers of the Good Shepherd (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).

  4. Sing The Rosary song   Refrain:  "Oh the rosary, the rosary is the love of Their two Hearts,   Oh the rosary, the rosary is the love of Their two Hearts."
          1) Ave Maria, Ave Maria.
          2) Jesus we love You, Mary we love you.
          3) This is her peace plan, Children must pray it.
          4) We turn to Mary, She is the Queen of Peace.
          5) Oh Sacred Heart Divine, Oh Heart of Mary pure, Ave Maria, We love to pray it!

  5. Begin the rosary. Please use the Rosary Books and the Rosary Aves.  The important thing is to pray the prayers and the rosary at 6:30 p.m., if possible. (Rosary mysteries need to be according to the Rosary Novena.)

  6. Read the Ten Commandments.

    1.  I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

 
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
