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

24 Years after Fr. Carter's Message
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
R. We are witnesses for Christ –
We see all who went before us
and suffered –
Christ showed us His sacrifice
so we could be saved.
Christ took flesh and was born
God-made-Man to pay for our
sins.
In the early Church men suffered,
suffered, some burned for their
faith – burned to death –
beheaded –
This is a battle here to fight
the darkness –
Now we suffer the hatred of
the enemy that tempts people
with the deadly sins, pride,
anger, envy, jealousy, slothfulness,
lust and gluttony to grow in
selfishness and greater and
greater darkness and evil.
But God gives us the Church,
the sacraments, our priests –
to spread the Good News –
Jesus came and suffered to
bring us the Good News.
If we do not fight with the
power of Jesus in us – the
darkness will grow. We
cannot abandon the commission
God gave us in baptism to
spread the Good News –
The devil is real, there
are so many demons roaming
the earth longing for someone
to devour.
God is All-Powerful –
All Mighty – God has called us –
God is Light and Love and
Unity and Jesus died so we
could be saved. Jesus is
the Good Shepherd –
The man spreading evil is
full of lies – LIES and
denies the truth – spreading
more lies and more lies –
Martyrs like Stephen were
willing to shed their blood
and pray for their persecutors –
Stephen was stoned by Saul –
But God converted Saul to
Paul and He gave us his
life, his wisdom, to teach
us as Christ used him –
From the wounded – God
can bring great things –
His grace is sufficient for us –
We must follow God, obey
His commandments, live
by the Word and answer
the call God gives us in our
lives.
We were created in love by
God for a purpose and we
are to help build the Kingdom of God –
God said to Saul, "Why
do you persecute Me"
When we sin – we offend God –
The devil taunts day and night
to try to block this work
of building the Kingdom of God –
God created us in love
to know, love and serve
Him.
God loves us. God is
Almighty – Supreme –
Many carry the cross behind
Jesus, suffering for the
spreading of the Good News.
God gave us hearts to love –
to give – to serve, to want
a relationship with God and
our brothers in love –
Men through the centuries
were martyred and suffered
for the sake of Christ. They
risk their lives for Jesus –
they knew what was most
important was everlasting
life with God in heaven –
True happiness is only in
God –
We are called by God to spread
the Good News. We will stand
before God and He will ask
us – How did we love –
He will ask us
How did we build His Kingdom –
The world preaches selfishness –
the world preaches hatred –
and darkness and even in
suffering we must hold strong.
We have to trust in God.
We do not wage war against
others – we work hard for the
building of God's Kingdom –
The devil works in revenge –
he wants evil for evil – the devil
wants a battle – he wants chaos,
confusion – the devil wants to
tear apart – to stop love and
work that God wants to build
His Kingdom –
God wants love that trusts
and hopes and endures –
God is love. Jesus gave Himself
so we would love. God loves
us so much.
The devil wants hatred and
violence, vengeances – He wants
people to go out and attack
others, start things – aggression –
God is a God of miracles and
love – He calls us – we
have a free will to be loving
or to be divided –
God wants unity –
Jesus came to save us.
Jesus puts people in our lives
to help us – to live in
the truth –
The devil is a liar – He
comes in legions to attack
those spreading God's work –
The devil comes to tear apart –
to stop love and kindness –
relationships rooted in God –
The devil is busy – He works
in numbers to take out the
holy man – he wants their
destruction – the devil wants
to take men eternally to hell –
the devil wants destruction –
The devil is relentless –
The devil wants to take out good
workers for God so he can
weaken those for God and then
take out those doing God's work –
The devil makes all this
confusion so not much work
can be done for God –
It is a battle against God
by the devil.
The devil gives men malicious
energy to cause this destruction
and chaos. Then good men
working for God are worn
out from satan's battle
against them through men
willing to let satan work in
them.
What good does it do to act
arrogantly against the heavenly
Father's plan. God gives us grace
when we ask for it and try to
do the heavenly Father's will.
We do not boast of our might,
we are not proud – we live our
lives to give God the glory –
we praise God – we live to
praise and honor Him – We do what
we do freely for Christ – to
serve Christ –
We preach salvation – we
pray for God's will to be
done in love –
God sends people into our
lives, but we can reject
God's plan – even after we
pray for help. We can try to
control the situation and
reject God's help.
God heals the sickness
of hearts, but we must
turn to Him.
Oh God, I called and You
answered me –
Let me be open to Your
plan for help –
I adore You God, I love
You, I thank You
in advance –
You are my joy, my life,
my all – Oh God
hear my prayer –
Jesus: I am the way, the truth and
the life –
R. Jesus rose from the dead!
God gives us sufficient grace.
When we look at the world –
we know the world is
missing something –
God gives to us and we
can reject Him –
We can reject God's help –
The devil wants to take
down the righteous man –
but he operates through
those who give themselves
to the devil because of pride
and anger and envy and
jealousy.
The devil is attacking –
going out against the
righteous man.
Our true home is in heaven –
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
R. God is the physician
God wants to heal our
imperfections –
God wants to give us
healing grace –
We need God's grace to heal –
We need to pray for virtues –
greater faith, hope and
love given to us in
baptism –
We need to surrender to
God –
We need to ask God the Holy Spirit
to fill us with grace and love –
God is a God of miracles –
He is Light and love and
peace and joy –
God gives with His
miraculous hand to
heal and make us
whole, but we must
have faith in Him
and trust in Him –
We can go to God and be so
grateful for His healing –
We can trust in God
and give ourselves to Him –
or we can reject God's help –
even after we ask for it –
The water in the sea is free –
the sand can slip through our
fingers.
It isn't us who do the healing –
God uses us as instruments –
men who see the men God
sends as enemies cut
off their own opportunity
to heal and get help –
The sun shines on the wicked
and the good –
We have a free will to obey
God and live under Him
or seek control and
operate as satan wants to
rule us –
Death is really the beginning
of our life with God if we
lived as God wants us to
live –
Jesus: I am the way, the
truth and the life –
There is not another way –
R. We must say, I have fought
the good fight for God –
God gives us grace when
we ask for it –
Even though Jesus died on the
cross –
He rose from the dead –
The Church is full with the
Blood of the Martyrs
that followed Him and
fought the good fight
for Jesus, shedding their
blood and giving themselves
so we could have the Church
as it is today.

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15 |
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 — 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 |
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 |

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 |
