Healings

from

The Building of the Two Hearts

1. A gentleman from Florida called and said since he got the Fatima Statue with glass his life has been transformed. 3/3/2009

2. After using the Jesus water, pain and non-movement (for 3 years) in my fingers was healed instantly. Now fingers are cracking and working and no pain. Has taken x-rays. 10-19-2008

3. Ruptured ACL Ligament and PCL ligament left leg (knee) and damaged meniscus. 3-4 weeks excruciating pain. MRI showed damaged ligaments - went to do surgery and scopes revealed no damage other than meniscus injury. Day before surgery we came here to pray for healing. Wife anointed knee with Jesus water. Were told prior to surgery that would be out of work 3-6 months and surgery would be 4 hours. Surgery was only 40 minutes and recovery time is 1-2 weeks. 8/13/2008

4. My best friend (a couple) was granted a son, which now is my godson. They've been married for a long time but never had a child until they both came to see the Virgin Mary's image. 8/4/2007

5. I just wanted to tell you we have had so many prayers answered most especially since we have had the image statue in our home a few months ago. Prayers being miraculously answered for our children & grandchildren, our daughter's heart has literally almost healed ... she is also pregnant and that is also a miracle that she carried the baby this far, she is so thankful and also her cardiologist can't figure out how she is doing so well, and even agreed with her it must be prayers being said for her. He also told her in her 4th month to abort the baby, maybe he will have a conversion, we hope. Others in my family have changed since we got the statue. They are more understanding and patient and love being a Catholic more than ever before ...We thank Jesus, Mary, Rita and you all. Praise all of heaven. We are also so eager to have many more prayers answered. We are giving our married children a 10 inch statue each for their homes and red prayer manual if they would also like to say the prayers if they so choose to. The statue we know will help them with many graces as they pray before it as it has helped us in our home and lives. Love you all. 8/3/2007

6. Pregnancy. (A long note about how a woman got pregnant after she came to the Virgin Mary Building.) 3/21/2008

7. My mother was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in April 2005. She received the Jesus water of Clearwater that my brother brought to El Salvador.

8. The CAT scan showed a dark spot and they thought they would have to remove my right kidney. My family went to the Blessed Mother and asked for prayers and help. They also got the healing water.

12. A man from South Carolina came to thank Jesus and Mary for his healing. His brother sent him Jesus' water when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Three doctors told him there was nothing they could do for him. He started using Jesus' water and started feeling better (He could hardly walk, he was using a wheelchair a lot). He went back to the doctor and tests showed no more cancer — gone! The doctor told him he never saw this happen before. He is around 70 years old and walks and feels normal.   2006

13. A lady from Egypt wrote asking St. Mary for a baby for 3 years. She helped me and now I have a little daughter. Her name is Mariam after St. Mary name by my language. Thank God and Thank St. Mary. She always remembers me. - Egypt 10/25/2006

14. This woman filled out a healing form at the site. I am so blessed by the Blessed Mother that she has been there for me on more than several occasions. She performed a miracle on all occasions, one in particular was cancer of the right leg. The doctors wanted to cut my leg off the cancer was in the bone. When I returned to New York and went to a plastic surgeon he saw the cat scan and said my chances weren't good. When he did the surgery the cancer was not in the bone. It was superficial. 9/2/2006

15. Stroke. Healed August 2006. 9/2/2006

I've had surgeries on both ovaries in 1998 and had very little chance of conceiving. Mother Mary gave us our blessing and wish. 7/21/2006

18. Peter was operated on for cancer he had for 10 years on his leg and because the wound was so big, they had to take some skin from another part of his leg to be able to fix it but it did split.

22. Pregnancy. I could not become pregnant. I came here to ask Mary to extend her hands on me, to be able to have a child. The miracle happened. I did not know that other women had become pregnant by asking Mary. My son is 3 years old. I am convinced that he is called to be special in his life, he has a mission. When she went to see the doctor, specialists, they said forget it, she couldn't have a baby, and she went to many different ones. Came here to pray and became pregnant. All the doctors never understood what had happened. They said he is a miracle child. 3/8/2006

23. Pregnancy. Became pregnant of twin girls after we prayed in 2005 and even have a statue of the Virgin Mary in our yard. After 15 years of concubinage Virgin Mary finally blessed us. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Jesus water was used to help conceive. 2/2/2006

24. A woman came in today from New York and said she was here last March (2005) and got the Jesus water. Her cousin who was very healthy and had just retired at age 60 suffered a massive stroke. He was taken to the best neurological hospital in New York and the doctors said he had no chance of recovery. He had a blood clot at the base of his brain stem. He was in intensive care and the woman with the other family members were visiting him and she put Jesus water on him and they prayed over him, while he was laying in bed in a fetal position unable to talk was paralyzed. After she had left (only 30 minutes of visitation in Intensive Care) the woman received a call from her cousin's wife saying the man had sat up in bed after they left and was miraculously healed. He is back at home now. The doctors came in and said this was a miracle. This was 2 months ago. 1/24/2006

25. Dermatomyositis (a form of Muscular Dystrophy). I was given 6 months to live. I was really depressed ready to give up when, while being in town for my girlfriends niece's Christmas Party. I heard it on the news. (December 17, 1996) Decided why not let's go, when I got here I was not expecting to see what I saw. I couldn't believe what I saw. Within an hour I put the cane down, slowly but surely got better enough where I wasn't paralyzed or dead. Thank you Jesus and Mary. 12/16/2005

26. Small Bowel Syndrome. Infant acquired surgical intervention at birth. 4 months care at home. Healed completely as of May 2005.    11/24/2005

27. Newborn very sick - 2 lbs. My mother came to visit me. We used to live in the post apartments by Target. I brought my Mother to the Virgin Mary Building in Clearwater and she prayed for my niece, who was in Guatemala. When my Mother returned to Guatemala she took the picture of Virgin Mary and put it in my niece's room. When my niece was born, she needed a tube feeding. She couldn't eat on her own. She was very thin and very sick. Many people told my sister and my mother (including the doctors) that my niece was so sick that she probably would died. Thank to our Lady Virgin Mary, my niece is a healthy gifted 9 year old girl. - Guatemala - Healing was at 6 months old. 11-22-2005

28. My daughter was told she had thyroid cancer, after having one side of the thyroid removed they found the cancer was gone. This had to be due to Mary and Jesus Water and her belief in the Mother and Son. 9/17/2005

29. Virus. He was in Egypt. His relatives came to the site and asked for prayers for healing for him. That same day they were here he was completely healed of his Liver virus. He is a physician. 8/31/2005

30. After waiting about 8 months for the baby to get bigger for the surgery, the doctor checked him and couldn't believe it, but she said, "It just fixed itself." He was 4 months premature and this surgery would have lowered his sperm count significantly and its already been lowered by a double inguinal hernia surgery. 6-14-2005

31. Burst tube with unexpected pregnancy. Was internal bleeding. Doctor told was miracle, surviving from this kind of operation. She (the mother) had come to the site and prayed to God if this Image (Our Lady of Clearwater) was from God to grant her a miracle. Her daughter who was in Lithuania at the time was in the hospital and the above miracle happened during the 2 hours the mother was praying at the site. 5/4/2005

36. Severe back pain. Have a bad back from laying brick for years and sometimes I bend over and the pain is severe and it takes at least 3 or 4 or more weeks for it to go away. I put Jesus water on it and it went away in 2 days. Alleluia. 4/16/2005

37. I must admit that some days I forget to wash in the water. But I have felt the same feeling once again a few days ago as I did on March 2nd, the first time I applied it to my knees. On the movie that you took, I am walking on the beach without a cane. I don't know if you noticed. I didn't use the cane yesterday, and I have no pain. I'm still slow at climbing the stairs, but I'm seeing a tremendous improvement. I'll keep a journal, and continue updating you I pray a lot, as I'm applying the medicine. Part of my prayer is "If it be your will." Thank you. I'll be in touch soon. 3/11/2005

38. My husband had a good friend and he was diagnosed with cancer and given less than a few weeks to live. Jesus told me to take him the Jesus water. I never really met him, but I went to the hospital. He was so sick. He bounced up and said I knew it - I will be healed. And he lived over two years longer. 2005

39. Leukemia went into remission February 7, 2003. Her doctor can't believe how well she is doing. She has the worse kind of Leukemia there is and she is doing extremely well. He said this does not happen, so soon, we told him its because of all the prayers, everyone is saying for her. The day after we visited the Blessed Mother Building, her blood count was excellent. Thank you so much. As of 11/3/2004 she is still in remission and doing very well, a happy 10 year old little girl. We are all so thankful for all the prayers from everyone, we truly believe, if we hadn't had our faith and by going to the Virgin Mary building so often, we wouldn't have been so fortunate to have her. Prayer is still the most powerful and healing process. Thank you so much. 11/3/2004

40. Spinal Manangitas. December 16th, 2002 we almost lost our little grandson. He was taken flight for life to Madison where they worked on him for hours. They told us he would either be blind - deaf - brain damage, or he might not walk. Today he is a happy - healthy little boy full of life. Thanks to everyone's prayers to our Blessed Virgin and our heavenly Father, without them we would not have him. Thank you. As of this date November 3, 2004 our little grandson is doing very well, a healthy happy little boy, and so full of life, and without any complications. Our prayers and by going to the Virgin Mary building truly helped this little boy. Thanks to everyone for all their prayers. 11/3/2004

41. After my family visited the Virgin Mary and returned to hospital, I showed no sign of having a stroke. Doctors at hospital said I would not recover. 4/2001

42. A couple today told of a friend who has a priest friend who was unable to move his legs (possibly a stroke) and they put Jesus water on him and he is now walking and has gone back to the Philippines. I gave them a healing form to give to their friend. They said he uses the water every day on his legs. 11/2008

Thank you for the gift of Father Robinson's book of homilies and for the prayers offered on behalf of me and other priests. Your work of spiritual renewal is deeply appreciated. And your support of the priestly vocation is warmly welcomed. You will also be in my prayers in a special way, especially as I offer the sacrifice of the Holy Mass this week.

110. 3/15/2010 - Priest - CA

Thank you for your thoughtful gift of the book, Guiding Light, Feed My Soul. It was kind of you and the Shepherds of Christ to send this book of homilies to me, along with your many prayers. Blessings in all you do for the good of the Church.

109. 3/15/2010 - Priest - CA

I acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 13, 2010 and the book gift "Guiding Light, Feed My Soul" by Fr. Joe Robinson. I thank you most sincerely for the gift and offer of prayers for me and my fellow priests. It is a great honor and encouragement to us. I pray that God may continue to bless your noble apostolate.

Thank you for your letter, your very kind words, and for the copy of Guiding Light: Feed My Soul. I appreciate your brother, Father Joe Robinson, graciously sharing with his fellow priests the gift of his homilies. I am certain it will be a useful addition to my library and a good companion to my prayer and contemplation. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Ms. Ring.

106. 3/11/2010 - Priest - PA

Thank you for the book "Guiding Light" and special thanks for your prayers and support. I will remember you and your charitable work in my prayers.

105. 3/10/2010 - Priest - CA

Thank you and all in our special ministry. Please also, thank your brother Joe. His book comes at an opportune time. Frankly, I'm in a "rut". After 52 years I am "running on empty" for new homiletic ideas. While in Kenya and Tanzania for 30 years, no problem! Now, in retirement, "filling in" at local parishes, I need good reference for ideas- not the homily itself but the ideas it generates for my own. Joe's book really is a "Guiding Light".

104. 3/10/2010 - Priest - CA

Thank you for the book of homilies by your brother. I am sure I will find them most helpful. It is wonderful you have twenty-hour Adoration. Please pray for me.

103. 3/9/2010 - Msgr. - CA

93. 3/1/2010 – Priest – NY

Recently I received your book of homilies by Fr. Joe Robinson, and trusting it will be helpful for preparing our Sunday Celebrations, enclosed is a check.

92. 3/1/2010 – Priest – MA

76. 1/28/2010 – Priest – NY

I received the book “Guiding Light Feed My Soul” – Thank you. They are indeed beautiful homilies that Fr. Joe Robinson gave in Cycle C Book. I have no idea how much it cost the ministry to print and send this book out to all the priests, but I can imagine that it was a great amount of money. Enclosed please find my gift to help to defray the expenses involved. It isn’t much I know, but maybe it will help some, o.k.? Once again THANK YOU and Good luck in your ministries in getting the word of Jesus out to others.

75. 1/26/2010 – Priest – NY

62. 1/14/2010 – Priest – Florida

My twin brother and I are priests in Florida and I’m sure I speak for many priests throughout the country in expressing appreciation to Father Joseph. His Christmas homily – the voices of all within and around the crèche, was especially beautiful – and I didn’t want the year to get too for away from us without expressing gratitude to you and to Father Joseph – what a fantastic Ministry. Please know that you and your brother are in the prayers of many of us.

61. 1/10/2010 – Priest - Florida

I was so happy and overjoyed to receive this past Advent the best Christmas present – one that I had wished for – in your brother’s Cycle c homilies – Guiding Light. The book cover is beautiful and when Cycle B ended I said to myself I wish I had the new cycle, but alas, I didn’t know where I was going to get it…Then like an answer to prayer, it was in the mail! I was already missing his homilies at the beginning of December until the book arrived. I love the cover and I love the work you are doing. In the Year of the Priesthood this is certainly a welcome gift and presentation to the priests. And for me the best Christmas gift. And it came free!! The cover is great, the print is nice and big and easy to read, and the thoughts, of course, are great. One week Fr. Robinson talked about how long he was in a parish and changes, and I could use that talk myself. So the Scripture, reflections, homilies, and personal antidotes are perfect. With your generous gift you have certainly made it a blessed and Merry Christmas for me. Thank you for your prayers before the Blessed Christmas and be assured of our prayers every week when we pull out “Guiding Light – Feed my Soul” for encouraging words for our parishioners here.

60. 1/7/2010 – Priest – Florida

Thank you for mailing me free copy of Homilies by Fr. Joe Robinson. I enjoy reading his homilies. In the past you sent me that of another Cycle. Happy New Year to all in Shepherds of Christ Ministries.

59. 1/7/2010 – Msgr. – Ohio

Many thanks for the gift of your brother’s book of homilies. I am 90, in a nursing home, sometimes with two Masses a day, and I need some ideas for homilies.

58. 1/5/2010 – Priest – Ohio.

I am delighted to have your greetings at Christmas, with all those dear names personally signed. Thank you. The photo of Fr. Carter with John and Rita is good.

56. 12/28/2009 – Priest – Indiana

A word of gratitude for your prayers, ministry, and copy of “Guiding Light”! God bless your dedicated work in His vineyard!

55. 12/27/2009 – Priest – Kentucky

Thank you for the gift of the book of homilies and especially all you do spiritually for the Church and for priests. We need more emphasis on the spiritual aspects of the priesthood, along with all the other things priests are asked to do. I do Parish Missions and realize many Catholic’s seek a deeper spiritual life along with their lived “human” life.

54. 12/24/2009 – Priest – Indiana

Thank you for sharing Fr. Joseph Robinson’s homilies with me. May God bless you and your apostolate for us priests!

53. 12/23/2009 - Priest - Kentucky

48. 12/20/2009 - Priest - Ohio

Thank you for sending Fr. Robinson's book of homilies for Cycle C. Actually you had given me a copy earlier, and now I can share this treasure with another priest. And a treasure it is, both the introduction and homily text. I sincerely hope the holiest Birthday anniversary will be a religious experience for you and all of Shepherds of Christ.

47. 12/2009 - Priest - Florida

Thank you for Guiding Light by your brother, Fr. Joseph Robinson. I greatly appreciate this gift and I thank you very much. This "Feed My Soul" is based on the Sunday Gospels of Year C — Do you still have spare copies for Years A and B? What do they sell for? Thank You. Enjoy the Christmas Season.

44. 2009 – Priest - Ohio

Enclosed, please find a check for the book entitled, “Guiding Light: Feed My Soul”, by Fr. Joe Robinson. I enjoy his homiletic reflections very much. They are very helpful and spiritually uplifting.

I would be very interested in receiving the Cycle A edition when it is in print. Thanks again for all your help.

43. 2009 – Priest – Ohio

Thank you so much for your gift book, “Guiding Light”. I’ve read a number of homilies, and they are really good. However, the book has already led me into sin! You see, I’ve “stolen” some of Fr. Robinson’s stories and incorporate them into my own homilies! Many blessings, and I will certainly be purchasing items from you.

42. 2009 – Priest – Ohio

Thank you for remembering me and for your kindness. Be assured of continual prayers for you and your family.

41. 12/2009 – Priest – Missouri

Thank you so much for the “Cycle C” readings. I always read the “B” ones – great insights and ideas. Wishing all of you the Blessings of the Christmas Season. Hope 2010 will be a time of great joy in your ministry.

40. 12/2009 – Priest – Ohio

Thank you for the complimentary copy of Guiding Light Feed My Soul – the homilies of Father Joe. I am grateful for your kindness. May God continue to bless you and your ministry in the New Year.

31. 12/4/2009 - Cardinal - Vatican

Please accept my appreciation for your letter of November 13, current. My commitment to remember in prayer the efforts of the Shepherds to support priestly formation and lifestyle.

Greetings! Last year you sent me the book – Guiding Light: Focusing on the Word. It is a series of homilies by Fr. Joe Robinson. What a wonderful gift. I have used it for all my homilies and spiritual reading. It has been a blessing for me and even more – a blessing for my parish. I am very grateful for this gift.

1. 12/30/2008 – Priest – Kentucky

Hey I just wanted to call you and say blessings – this is simply just an affirmation call. I got in the mail a while back Guiding Light – the Word Alive in Our Hearts – Homilies by Fr. Joe Robinson. I have to admit this has been one of the most edifying pieces of literature I have received in my hands in a long time. Fr. Joe’s homilies are inspiring, they are just wonderful. They are absolutely wonderful. I would love to hear this man preach. I mean that assuming that from what I saw – He’s still around – 40 years – it says on the back here – I haven’t read it thoroughly. – it even has a song – the song about priests! What an edifying thing that Christ has given to you – the Holy Spirit given to you. I just want to say from one of the priests out here in the trenches along with the great laity of the Church – Thank you! What a blessing this has been to me. So I would love to integrate this in some how, and thank you for the mission of the Shepherds of Christ. What an edifying thing for us today. So no need to call back, but I would just give you my cell phone number. And there’s no need to call back or anything. You got tons on your plate already and everything. But I mean these were just blessed homilies – I would like to see if there is a continuing of Fr. Joe’s homilies and the series and stuff. So anyway – my opinion for whatever it counts. Blessings to you this Christmas season and may the Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints just fill you with Christ’s presence. Talk to you later.

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

Song: O Holy, Dwelling Place of God, O Holy, Temple of the Word

1. R. Jesus wanted a special Rosary today. This Rosary will not be like any other, there will be many missing meditations, but there is an exercise in which He wishes each one of us to partake in. It centers around the message that was given February 1, 1997. In order for us to know what the Father’s will is for us, which Mary showed us throughout her life that she always complied to the will of the Father. Mary said yes to the Angel. Mary was taken into heaven, assumed into heaven. Mary is Queen of Heaven and Earth. Mary always followed the will of the Father. But how can we follow the will of the Father if we do not know what it is, so to that we want the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, to make clear to us those commands that God wants us to do in our life. To work in our hearts and to tell us what we need to do in order to accomplish the work that He wants us to accomplish. Jesus gave to us the following message on February 1st: He says: “I am asking you for greater intimacy with Me in order to accomplish this task. I am asking you daily for one hour that you will spend with me preferably before the tabernacle.” What happens in this time alone with Jesus in this hour, He helps us to see the Father’s will for us. In your room or in front of the tabernacle He says for about 10 minutes you should answer some question, how do I feel in my heart about my beloved Jesus.

February 1, 1997 - Jesus says: “In this love letter you will talk to Me as your most intimate friend. You will share with Me the sores you feel in your heart. You will share with Me your joy, your praise, your sorrow, your weak points, your strong points. You will focus on Me, as your Divine Healer. You will keep these letters to Me in a notebook entitled, “My Love Letters to Jesus.” I then will ask you to open up the Blue Book messages which are My love letters to you. You will then read My love letters to you. You will continue talking to Me for 10 minutes about your letter to Me and My letter to you. At the same time I ask you to continue publishing all the love letters I have given to man. This is the tool that I give to you that you will become My most intimate lover.”

Jesus: So I tell you My beloved ones that many hearts this day are clogged, as a clogged pipe, and they do not love and they operate from their minds, they do not go to their hearts, feel from their hearts, speak from their hearts, hear as I speak to them in their hearts. For their hearts are filled with wounds, their hearts are filled with feelings that they do not express and it hurts to go to their hearts and so they stay on the surface never going deeply into their heart. So I ask you this day to write to Me during this rosary for 5 minutes on the back of the message that was passed to you, to write to Me of your feelings in your heart.

How do you feel in your heart at this time. In this exercise to Me you will tell Me the feelings that you feel within your heart. Do not be afraid to tell Me of the fears and the hurts that you feel in your heart. Tell Me whatever it is that is keeping your heart clogged at this time, that is stopping you from going to the bottom of your heart and expressing love to this world, because it hurts many times to go to your heart. So what you do is you stay on the surface. I want your heartfelt love, I want oneness in the members of the Body of Christ. Some have hearts as clogged pipes filled with unexpressed feelings and hurts and wounds that keep you from sharing the inner most parts of your heart. I am there to listen to your feelings, I am there because I love you and I want to share Myself with you. I know all the desires in your heart far better than you, and so I ask you at this time to share with Me for 5 minutes the most intimate thoughts and feelings in your heart, go to your heart, not your mind, feel the feelings in your heart, the things that would make you cry or express great joy, do not go to your mind, go to your heart. Hear the song that I sing to you:

Song: A Song from Jesus

Jesus: This very day I would give My life for you. Do you not realize that I care to listen and that I will help you, that you must not fill your heart full of wounds and allow them to hurt, to make your hearts hard and closed. Tell Me your cares, your sufferings and I will release you from those wounds and heal the broken heart and you will love from the depth of your heart for I will fill it with My Light and with My love.

R. Write whatever you feel in your heart. Fear, love, anger, this is what Jesus wants to hear. This is like a love letter to Jesus so we should keep in mind that we are, even in our sorrow and the hurts in the depth of our heart, there is trying to be the most deep level of truth in finding the answer between you and Jesus of what you should do.

Song: Turn to Me

Jesus: And so My beloved ones, I have asked you to write most intimately to Me of the feelings within your heart, sharing with Me the sorrow and the joys, sharing the emotions that you feel. And I read to you a message that I gave as a letter in God’s Blue Book:

Excerpt from Blue Book II

March 13, 1994 5:45 p.m. - My Heart Aches for You

Jesus: I died for you, sweet one. I allow you to suffer. This is suffering. You are given this to know how I suffered. You I only give such little things. I suffered, sweet one. I suffered, bloodied, bruised and beaten. Blood rolled down My cheeks. My head was pierced with sharp thorns. They spat on Me. They whipped Me. They beat Me on My head, My precious head. They hit Me on My thorns and the pain was so intense–the piercing thorns! I was slapped hard by these senseless ones. Oh, such evil in the hearts of those who beat Me, the Son of God!

My whole Body ached from head to toe. I suffered so, My child. You will never know how I suffered for love of you. I am God and I loved all My precious ones to My death – and they ignore Me!

Oh, how I suffer from this wounded heart. They will never know what love I have to give them. They will never know how I, God, love them. They are so busy with their worldly lives!

You must tell them how I wait for them. I wait. I want them to come and I will give them such love! Tell them, Rita, tell them! Your discontent is from what emotions I give you and you keep them inside. I want all to know Me and My love. I am crying out to you, little one. Tell them, tell them. Do not waste any time. I am crying out for you to spread this message. I want you to tell all of My love and how I am waiting. Emotion! Emotion! I am crying out to you in your heart! I long for their love. I died for them. How do I make them know if you, to whom I speak, hold back? I want you to get the messages out, child.

I loved all My beloved ones to My death. I love you this way this day. I am Jesus. I am begging you to not hold back this emotion.

Oh, child, My beloved ones are blind and are going down the road that leads to nowhere. You must preach My message. You must distribute My letters. You must tell all how I wait here!

Go to My faithful ones. Spread the messages at the Center. Keep them in your car. You will be called on in an instant and I will speak My message to My beloved ones through you. Ready yourself for a big boom. No one is listening. I am crying out to you. Prepare your brothers. They are in darkness. Their souls are dying inside of them. Some come to Me with such indifference in Communion.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire for love of them. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I call you to this state of urgency. Move your friends by this urgent letter. There is no more time to waste. I call you all here to deliver this message personally to you. I am Jesus. I am begging each of you to spread My message. Tell them of My ardent love. In each moment you waste, souls will be lost.   end of excerpt

Jesus: My dear beloved ones, I speak to you in My love letters that I give to you in My books. I ask you now to take the book that you were given and to open to the message in which I will speak to you. Where ever you look on the page, open your heart wide and pray for the grace that you will comprehend as I speak to you, that you will be moved in your heart and that in this moment there will be a change, a change in your heart and We will grow in greater intimacy for We have connected in a special way by communicating to one another in this Rosary. I am Jesus, the child Jesus that came into this world a helpless baby for love of you. This is the procedure that I wish you to follow daily and in this time that you spend alone with Me, you will help to go into the world with a heart that is filled with love. Many of My beloved ones are going into this world today with hardened hearts and cold hearts. Your hearts must be open and filled with My love, that you will spread the light in the darkness. I ask you to read this message: “My dear ones in the Shepherds of Christ Movement I am asking you to circulate extensively the video of April 17, 1994. Circulate this video to all Shepherds of Christ Coordinators and ask them to show it to all members. This video must be made available to all who request it and enclose on the back of the card the video is available free of charge. Tell the members that the video will help lead many to the Eucharist and the Blue Book messages. Circulate the Blue Books with the video and several Prayer Manuals, also include the picture with the prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I give you Myself and I am ignored. I want to be loved by all and for men to know that I truly am present in the Eucharist. I give you this sign as a confirmation of My desire to be loved and honored in the Eucharist. Pray often, “Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I adore you.” I am more powerful than any pulsating sun. I love you, Jesus”.

My beloved ones I ask that you speak to Me every day in the most intimate letter. Tell Me the desires of your heart. Tell Me the feelings inside of your heart that you do not express to others. I will help you work through those feelings and you will be able to go into this world and to be My lover apostles spreading My love to all. I have called each person present here this day to hear this message, to help the world to turn to a world that will be filled with the Love of My Sacred Heart. You are My chosen ones. I came a little baby in the womb of My Mother and I died on the cross. Today I am ignored by so many that I came to touch with My love. It is through you that I will live in you and they will be touched. But you must be connected in your hearts to one another, you must focus on the love in your heart. You must not close off your hearts because of the wounds that are inside of your heart. You must tell Me when you are suffering, I will take care of you, I will caress you and fill you with My love. It is this procedure that I wish you to follow and you will remain an open vessel spreading My love to the world.

8. R. He came that we would share in His life. He came into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary and she brought forth the child Jesus, the child of light and joy. Mary brings forth her children in the Holy Spirit today for we are enlightened through the Holy Spirit and we are brought forth in great pain and labor as we are shaped and molded more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus. It is in giving ourselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary that we are shaped more into this image and likeness of Him. We must surrender, we must learn how to communicate with our Divine God, how to be one with God, that He will operate in us. For Jesus no longer walks this earth this day, but He lives in us.

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

R. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. We want Jesus to live in us in a special way.

9. R. God dwells in the baptized soul in the state of grace in a special way.

10. Hail Mary

Glory Be

1 Corinthians 12: 12-30

The analogy of the body

For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts – all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body – so it is with Christ. We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, ‘I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body,’ it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the ear were to say, ‘I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body,’ that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling? As it is, God has put all the separate parts into the body as he chose. If they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are many but the body is one. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you,’ and nor can the head say to the feet, ‘I have no need of you.’

What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest which are the indispensable ones. It is the parts of the body which we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity; and our less presentable parts are given greater presentability which our presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater dignity is given to the parts which were without it, and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equally concerned for all the others. If one part is hurt, all the parts share its pain. And if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy.

Now Christ’s body is yourselves, each of you with a part to play in the whole. And those whom God has appointed in the Church are, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers; after them, miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helpful acts, guidance, various kinds of tongues. Are all of them apostles? Or all prophets? Or all teachers? Or all miracle-workers? Do all have the gifts of healing? Do all of them speak in tongues and all interpret them?

1. R. Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth. Jesus was in her womb. Christ wants to operate in us, touch others through us, we live as St. Paul says in Galatians.

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

2. Song: One Bread, One Body

R. Jesus came to this earth and Jesus took on human flesh and Jesus gave to us a sharing in His life. Today Jesus asks us to carry His life out into this world. Give God your heart - God come dwell in our soul! We share ourselves most intimately with God. Dear God we want to be one in You. We want to be Your apostles in the world. We want to carry Your light into the darkness. We want to be one in Him. What happens in the Body of Christ to one member affects the other members of the Body of Christ. Holy Spirit operate in us. Dear Holy Spirit - transform us.

From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: “My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary’s Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother’s Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!”

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us. end of excerpt

From the Holy Spirit Novena Booklet

Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts

We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.

Song: One Bread, One Body

R. And so we pray our Shepherds of Christ prayers for the priests. The priests are touched by the Priestly Newsletter. The priest celebrates Mass. An immense grace is emitted to this world and so I prayed my Morning Offering today and united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I prayed for the priests. I prayed for grace for this world. We are one in the Body of Christ as we unite in the Morning Offering, as we unite in one mind and one heart in the Consecration. I go to the Mass and I am so one with Jesus at Mass. I unite to all the Masses being celebrated around the world. I pray there will be one flock and one shepherd and we will all be united immensely as one body in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We must be united. We have been called the apostles of Jesus to spread His love to the world. It starts with an intimate relationship with Jesus. We need to spend 10 minutes a day, reading the Blue Book messages and hearing Him speak, spending time alone with Jesus and when we go out into the world, the world is touched because we are one body. God lives in us. We are His hands and eyes as He operates in us. What He tells us is exactly what is in the scriptures.

3. Ephesians 4: 1-6

I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you were called. With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love. Take every care to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together. There is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all.

4. R. Priests need homilies on the scriptures. The Bread of Life is the Word and the Eucharist.

5. R. Priests should focus on intimacy with Jesus, the gift of the Eucharist – God’s love for us.

6. R. There is such power in staying united to the Mass all day in the Morning Offering.

7. R. Look at the statue of the Sacred Heart. See Jesus’ Heart - His hand pointing to His Heart. Look at the statue of Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Many statues are removed from the Churches. The priest that reads the Priestly Newsletter can be led to devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart. He begins to give his heart to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and he is motivated in his homily to speak from his heart and not from his head, to speak of the love of Jesus. In praying the Shepherds of Christ prayers, Jesus has promised great grace to draw the priest ever deeper into His heart.

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. This is our mission. Our mission is to help spread the Priestly Newsletter, to pray for the priests. We must all be connected in our hearts. We need heartfelt love. Knowing God deeply in our hearts. Pray for unity in our hearts, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, hearts, soft and supple dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Dear God help us to dwell in Your Heart - not have hardened and cold hearts, disconnected hearts! We need to get the messages out from God’s Blue Book, that people will know that Jesus loves them, that they can turn to Jesus with the wounds in their heart. Pray for healing of wounded hearts. I open up the Blue Book and Jesus says: “I loved you so much I died for you. I am here with you sweet one. Do you know that I know that you are suffering and it is hard and the devil presses in and he wants you to be stopped when you do good acts to lead others to Me”. And so we hear Jesus and we continue. Focus on all who were helped with the Blue Books. We got a letter from a person who did not commit suicide because they received the Blue Book; a prisoner that said it was the thing that made him be able to withstand what he had to withstand in prison. We are one body, in the body of Christ, with Christ our head. We are joined in this one love in which the source is God, we must circulate the Mighty Medicine in God’s Blue Book, which is the fire of His love to the wounded members in the Body of Christ.

8. R. When we are one body, we realize that what we do hurts and helps other members.

9. Hail Mary

10. Sing: One Bread, One Body

Song: Away in a Manager

The Birth of Jesus

R. And so let us envision clearly the scene as Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Do we see the Holy Family there in such poverty? Do we see the little animals surrounding the Child Jesus? Jesus came in poverty, not adorned in gold or silver. Jesus shows us. Jesus and Mary are our models to tell us how to love others. We are members of the Body of Christ. Jesus and Mary are our models.

1. R. And so we must meditate on these mysteries of the rosary and in the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, they take us deeply into Their Hearts where we experience in our hearts Their lives. I am deeply united to God in love in the Mass. I know and love God ever more deeply from Mass. Jesus is alive! I am going deeper and deeper into the Heart of Christ. He is so alive. The rosaries in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary have helped us to go deeper into Their Hearts. We want to be people of the heart, living in God. God wants us united in the Mass, united in the world. We are to be one body so connected with the guy on the other side of the earth. At Mass I can be so united to another person in the Mass. We can be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Pray for the priests to consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary. It is essential that the priests consecrate their hearts and that they are more one with Christ. Go to the tabernacle. Why did the Almighty God come to this earth a helpless little baby in the womb of Mary if we do not realize that it is in Mary that we are brought forth into the light and the priests must go through the Immaculate Heart of Mary because we are all sinners. Living in the consecration of our hearts to Jesus and Mary can help us have a mystical marriage to God. Priests need to spread the consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This consecration is essential to get the priest to get deeply into the Heart of Christ. Spread the consecration to the Two Hearts to priests, to all! Spread the Morning Offering! Unite all you do all day to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

2. R. Christ came our Savior, Our Redeemer.

3. Song: A Song from Jesus

4. R. The people are so self conscious to talk about the real love of God this day. They don’t even want to mention His name many times. But on the television there is this parade of pornography before the eyes of our children, teaching them what they call love. It is so important that we follow the direction that Jesus has given us in this movement, to lead hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary where children will know what real love is and not be taught pornography right in their own living room.

5. R. The family needs to join in prayer, to consecrate their hearts together. A husband and wife needs to realize the oneness that is there when they consecrate their hearts together, and the devil will do everything he can to stop a husband and wife and a family from attending Mass together, because it is so powerful. A family, a husband and wife joined in Holy Matrimony, such power when they attend a Mass together and consecrate their hearts first and pray the Morning Offering together, such power when the family joins together and consecrates their hearts. If at all possible say the Morning Offering together. The grace is outpoured on the earth and so the devil will do everything he can to stop the family from praying together, especially the Morning Offering, the consecration, the Mass, the rosary, the power is there, God unites a husband and wife in holy wedlock. We are to model our families after the Holy Family.

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

Rita reads a message from Jesus:

Jesus: My dear ones, you must realize that satan has targeted the Church and the priests, you must realize that the priests are targets for the devil wishing to destroy the Church. You must realize satan is trying to destroy family life and is intent on separating active families in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. The forces against the family in the movement will continue. They must be instructed to consecrate everyday with one another to withstand his attacks. Praying the Morning Offering and attending daily Mass will unite the members and the family. Whenever this is possible attend Mass together and pray the rosary. I am asking you to read the messages in God’s Blue Book together. If this is difficult read a short message each day or whenever possible. You are My beloved shepherds and under tremendous attack from satan. You are My beloved shepherds, you must be on guard. Please come to the rosaries whenever possible. The family needs the weekly rosary. I am protecting you there and instructing you against satan. Pray for grace for your family. Pray together! Attend the weekly Shepherds of Christ meeting as a family. I give you My Heart as a refuge in the dark world. When it reaches the peak of pain in the world I will pour down the antidote in these revelations. I am God, I speak here, listen to Me. I am giving a great warning and the ammunition to fight it. My core members must be protected. Satan will target your children, spread My Blood on your children. Pray this way – I spread the Blood of Jesus on my family!

6. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for the little ones.

7. Mary: Help me reach my children.

8. Mary: The family that prays together, stays together.

9. Jesus: My beloved shepherds, I have called you here this day to give you this great tool and to give you special protection against the evil one. I am asking you to consecrate your hearts frequently with the members of your family and those that you love. It will protect you against satan. Attend daily Mass whenever possible with one another and pray together in one mind and in one heart. Write to Me whenever possible of your most intimate secrets and of your feelings. It is very important that you express your feelings, that you are open in your hearts and that My love and My life will flow through you. You are My apostles of My Sacred Heart. I have called you by name this day. I love you with the most ardent love. I am asking you again to circulate the Blue Book messages and the video that I instructed you to circulate, please show it to as many people as possible. I am asking you to help spread devotion to My Eucharistic Heart, I am Jesus, I am alive and I give Myself to you, My sweet and adorable shepherds this day.

10. R. Dear Holy Spirit help us to follow this call.

Glory Be

Come Away With Me

Shepherds of Christ Meeting
Tuesday at Morrow, Ohio

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

R. And so we see Jesus came forth victorious from the tomb, but we do not realize that we are to live His life, death and resurrection in our life. One day it may seem as if we are dying inside, suffering from the greatest pain, and the next day the light steals across the sky and we see that the victory is won. The Father said, “the movement will blossom in the spring.” The phones are ringing off the hook and we cannot keep the people supplied with the materials. We do not have funds in order to do all the things that Jesus has asked us to do, and so many people are calling. Jesus has separated the sheep from the goats. Jesus gives us the truth. Jesus has rooted out the good and the bad fruit. The bad fruit has fallen from the tree and what remains is the good fruit – the fruit that knows that this is the truth.

    Alleluia! Hosanna in the Highest - for He has come and given us new life!

The Ascension

R. Jesus comes to us in the quiet of the darkest night and He lifts our ruffled feathers and He smoothes them out and we know His peace and His love. Where there was anguish and suffering and our screams were screams that were so deep within our soul that we thought we could not last but just screamed out, He came with His gentle and His soft touch and He wiped our weary brow and He relieved us of our suffering and pain. And He leaves us a garden filled with the most beautiful flowers and He gave to us a cool breeze and we were washed by the cool of the night and we felt His love deep within our hearts and we know that He lives and that He is alive this day.

Jesus: Come away with Me, My young ones. Come into the field and taste of the beauty of the air and the beauty of this day with the most beautiful flowers that I have created for you. Do you see the beauty in each petal of the flower, or are your eyes covered with mud that you do not see? I have lifted the veil for you today and I have showed you My way. My way is the way of trust and faith and I told you in the message on Sunday that you must have faith and endurance, for I took you to the darkest night to the pointiest tunnel, to the place where you thought that you would never return and at that point I opened up through a little hole the light of day and it came streaming in and you perceived and you felt My presence, which is greater than all the things of this earth.

    Wipe the grin off your face you silly earth, for you have ran after so many foolish things, when I stood there adorned in white before you, in the most glorious robes and you did not perceive that the Almighty God was alive and so I have called and I have told you and I have allowed you, My shepherds, to suffer, but the days ahead will be days of great victory, for I come to you clothed in white and adorned in a gold veil and you see that God lives and you will carry the white flag across this earth. You My shepherds, have won and the victory is yours.

    Did you fall in the mud and did you skin your knees, did you feel your head ache as Mine ached in the garden, did you feel the thorns poke deeply into your skull, and did you feel the ripping of your flesh as the sword went into your skin?

    I am Jesus, I am God, I will not be undone. I am Almighty and all powerful to the ends of the earth. You will know My might and you will not be afraid, but you will not know this if you do not trust, for I have told you the secrets in My messages, but you do not read as if you believe, you read half heartedly. You must believe with all your heart that I speak to you to be heard, for you truly are the shepherds that will go across this earth and carry the white flag, but you do not have this conviction within your heart, so therefore you do not do all that I have asked you to do, your belief is wishy-washy and you do not believe with a conviction of a strong heart.

    I am calling you My shepherds this night to renew your faith and your endurance to realize that I am God and I have spoken here to you this evening. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I am with you, I am your God.

    You wanted the light all the time and the light was not in the plan of the Father. It comes in light and it comes in darkness, it comes in death and it comes in victory, it comes in death and it comes in Resurrection, it comes in pain, and it comes in joy, but this world tells you today to look for only the joy and when you do not find it to do everything that you can to fill your selfish pleasurish whims that you have within you.

    I tell you that you must fall to your knees, that your knees will be scuffed and that you will suffer and your flesh will be torn and your head will be crowned with thorns, but you will come forth from the tomb with a veil of white across your face and you will say this is the victory that we have won because we have lived in Him.

Descent of the Holy Spirit Upon the Apostles

R. The Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present. Every word is rooted in the truth and every word spoken must be that in which there is great feeling for it is the greatest way that we can share our immense love with God when we give ourselves to Him as we unite in a spousal union with Him.

    But many in the Church are blind for they do not comprehend what is going on at the Mass. From the beginning to the end it is this immense love affair that a soul has with the Almighty God. Many times when I go to Mass I am so wrapped in the presence of God and when the homily begins it is a homily that is rooted deeply in the head with lots of thinking and lots of facts. It is a homily that does not tie together anything about the relationship between me and Jesus – this personal love relationship, and this pulls me out of my heart as I am forced to listen to the loud speaking and to try to think and to follow with what he is speaking about. I know this so well, but I cannot express what I am saying in my heart. Day after day I go to Mass and day after day I am so excited to go in there and to share deeply in the mystery of His love and my heart is filled with the greatest joy to be there, to know that I will be so one with my Divine lover, and I go there, and I start to cry many times and I am filled up with such love and I know of the grace that I am receiving – the sharing in His life – and I hear the Word of God and I cry because every word rings within me and I feel the feelings, the words that are in the Scriptures, the feeling words that are used, the talking about the heart, the talking about despair, the talking about fear, the talking about all feeling words and the priest gets up and the priest begins to speak about facts – a train of facts, things that are following, line after line and then, when he speaks, many times he draws the people to finding God in other people and skipping intimate union with God – to go out and to do good works, when in the Mass, we are to be focused on our love relationship with God and it is so upsetting because it is almost like we should hurry up through the Mass and go out and encounter God in others and we ignore the connection that God is right there wanting to give Himself to us and wanting us to give ourselves to Him.

    There are so many things that happened at the homily at the Mass. Not that I am above him – what I am doing is accounting what Our Lord is saying and knowing what Our Lord is saying about the Priestly Newsletter and why it is important that we pray for the holy priests, why it is important that the priests give their hearts in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and be taken deeply into the Heart of Christ where they know God most intimately because now, as it is, is it love or is it on the surface with the head? For once they give their hearts to Jesus, especially saying this consecration from the Shepherds of Christ in which Jesus promised a great grace, once they give their heart to Jesus and pray this consecration, it takes them into His Heart and they join more and more in an intimate union with Him.

    It is so frustrating to go to Mass because I can be so connected in the Heart of Jesus and then the homily comes and I am just knocked out into whatever level the homily is at, talking about whatever – going out – doing good, and forgetting to make a connection at all that Christ is there. The priest this week said, “Christ is not here, we have to go out and find him in others” and I couldn’t believe it! I was all set in my heart to be so intimate with Jesus and then it was like the rest of the Mass was so hurried, let’s hurry up and get out of here and encounter Christ in one another. We have a job to do, given to us by Jesus Christ, to help lead the priests through this Priestly Newsletter in which we are using this as a teaching tool, through Fr. Carter.

    Humility is truth and that does not mean that we must hide the gifts that were given to us. The gifts that He gives to us is to be shared with this world and we are to be most grateful for these gifts. We must thank God from the depths of our hearts for allowing us to know Him more intimately, not that we know it all, we have an immense way to go for God is infinite, but He is unveiling the scriptures to us, He is taking us deeply into His Heart and letting us know Him more intimately and we must share this gift with others for the gift is not given to us to hide under a bushel basket – it is given to us to put it on a lamp-stand and let it shine to all in the house.

Jesus: It is in prayer, hourly prayer and begging for the funds, realizing that it is in your prayer, that it is in your endurance, that it is in your faith and your sacrifices that your prayers will be answered. You must pray hourly the Novena to the Infant of Prague and I will answer your prayers, and you, My beloved ones, will know the results when you pray.

Mary is Assumed into Heaven

R. Satan is working to try to block this. I know that all kinds of things go wrong. And, when it gets worse you kept trudging ahead with all the battle wounds all over you, but it is because I recognize that satan is working. If I didn’t recognize that I would feel like running in a corner and screaming out in despair. God is revealing to us what we need in order to move ahead, believe me, brothers and sisters - this is His mission.

    I know they say things about me - but it doesn’t make any difference for the truth is there. He is speaking here to us. He has separated the sheep from the goats. And He said the rotten fruit would fall to the ground and all that would remain would be the fruit of heaven.

    We should see substantial growth now that this has happened. Think of the 13th of September when Fr. Carter celebrated the Mass and last Sunday we got the card that has Father as the Pillar of Light and we could send it with that John Bosco vision - a Dream.

    This will make us stronger than ever because it will sound like, “you have been tested and you have been tried and you have been found okay”.

    Let us have the vision in our heart - the vision that Christ wants us to have that we are the apostles that will help to majorly spread devotion to the Eucharist throughout the land. And that is why He has given us all this immense love of Jesus in the Eucharist. You know how it is - you know how you love Him so much in the Eucharist – that is the grace He is giving to us so that we will spread this devotion to the far ends of the earth. Wait till you see what happens in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to lead the souls to the Eucharist!

    Believe and we will move ahead. There is only one place to go - it is to Him. “I am the way, the truth and the life” – and what He gives to us here, is the truth. It was somebody in our core group and they said, “oh it is really good,” And so He said, one day they wane in and out - one day one way and another day - another way. We don’t do it that way. We know the truth from the Mass, from the Eucharist, from the Scriptures. It is the same mind that writes.

Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter July/August 1997

Thoughts on the Eucharist

St. Peter Julian Eymard, founder of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers, tells us:

“It is true also that the world does all in its power to prevent us from loving Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament with a real and practical love, to prevent us from visiting Him, and to cripple the effects of this love.

“The world engrosses the attention of souls; it finds and enslaves them with external occupations in order toeter them from dwelling too long on the love of Jesus.

“It even fights directly against this practical love and represents it as optional, as practicable at most only in a convent.

“And the devil wages incessant warfare on our love for Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

“He knows that Jesus is there, living and substantially present; that by Himself He is drawing souls and taking direct possession of them. The devil tries to efface the thought of the Eucharist in us, and the good impression made by it; for in his mind, that should decide the issue of the struggle.

“And yet God is all love.

“This gentle Savior pleads with us from the Host: ‘Love Me as I have loved you; abide in My love! I came to cast the fire of love on the earth and My most ardent desire is that it should set your hearts on fire.”7

7. St. Peter Julian Eymard, The Real Presence: Eucharistic Meditations, published by Eymard League, as in The Treasury of Catholic Wisdom, Fr. John Hardin, S.J. ed., Ignatius Press, p. 584.

Scriptural Reflection

    Why Should We Be Afraid? “Can you not buy five sparrows for two pennies? And yet not one is forgotten in God’s sight. Why, every hair on your head has been counted. There is no need to be afraid: you are worth more than hundreds of sparrows”. (Lk 12:6-7)

    The fear of financial insecurity, the fear of not being accepted by others, the fear of professional failure, anxiety concerning whether one is capable of handling an inevitable crisis, the spectre of academic failure, the fear of being rejected in love- these are a few of the myriad worries and anxieties which can burden people along the varied path of life which now twists and turns, now stretches out straight, now descends into the valley, now ascends where the horizon can be clearly seen. To encounter circumstances during the course of life which can give rise to worry and anxiety is to be expected. To allow various fears to conquer us and rob us of basic peace of mind is to react incorrectly. To face fears and worries with Christian courage and trust, and thus fundamentally control them, is to live by the words of Jesus.

    To react incorrectly to fear-causing occasions can give rise to all sorts of problems. It can obviously detract considerably from one’s joy. It can stunt personality growth, lessening our attractiveness to others. It can disturb mental and physical health. It can prevent us from being proper witnesses to the fact that we are the bearers of the Good News, of the fact that Jesus’ truth is meant to make us free from all sorts of enslavements, including morbid fear and worry.

    Why, then, don’t we decide once and for all to take Jesus at His word? He tells us not to worry. He tells us to flee from anxiety. He loves us. His Father loves us. The Holy Spirit loves us. They love us much more than we love ourselves. Their love can cut through the bonds of any fear, any worry, any anxiety. Yes, Their love can do this, if we so permit. end of excerpt

R. Do you hear the priests speak about the feelings in the Mass - about the things of the heart? This is the purpose of the Priestly Newsletter – to lead the priests into the hearts. Think about the Age of the Two Hearts in which men will be living from their hearts. It is through the Newsletter that the priests will be led into their hearts as Jesus teaches them. It is through consecration that priests are brought into their hearts.

Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Because of the excitement caused by the apparitions, the civil authorities were so alarmed that they kidnapped the three young visionaries and put them in jail. The incarceration period included the day of August 13. Consequently, Our Lady did not appear to the children on this particular 13th. The authorities, fearing reaction on the part of the people, quickly released the children. Mary appeared to them on August 19 near Valinhos:

    She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. 15

15. Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983), p. 6.

R. Today is August 19th. Today is the feast day of a great saint that loved the Sacred Heart so. Today is the day that Mary appeared to the three children at Fatima. She appeared on the 13th of every month but she appeared on the 19th of August because they had been locked in jail.

    Jesus has taught us how to be people that can pray and that He will truly respond to these prayers. Jesus has given to us a great gift and a great suffering and now He gives to us a greater gift for He opened up the heavens and in all of our sufferings, He came forth all in white and in victory.

Jesus: Your Movement will spread forth to the far ends of the earth, but it is faith that I am calling you to My beloved ones, you must have faith in your hearts, for this is a sign that I give to you this day. If you do not believe, you will not be able to continue ahead, for you must move ahead in faith. It is the only way that you must operate. You cannot operate trying to logically think your way across this world. It is only in believing and obeying the messages that the job will get done. It is My might that will lead this Movement to the far corners of the earth. Open your pockets and let us see your money. Do you have the money to do the things that I have asked you to do? It is in prayer, hourly prayer and begging for the funds, realizing that it is in your prayer, that it is in your endurance, that it is in your faith and your sacrifices that your prayers will be answered. You must pray hourly the Novena to the Infant of Prague and I will answer your prayers, and you My beloved ones will know the results when you pray.

Song: This is Holy Ground

Jesus: I have given to you the greatest gift this day. I am Jesus, and I have come to you and I have asked you to open wide your heart and to thank Me for the gift I have given, for if the answer would have been different how would your hearts be this night, and how was it with the lepers, when I gave to them the great gift and they did not come and say thanks, but you are My holy ones that I am sending into this world and your hearts must be filled with joy. I have asked you over and over again to sing to Me with a heart that is filled with joy. I have given to you songs that I wrote Myself for you to sing of the love of My Heart. I am Jesus, the Son of God and you are the apostles of this new era. As you go out into the dark night the light will shine behind you and many will know the light of My Heart. Do not be discouraged, for the very hairs of your head are numbered and I am with you at this very moment, guarding and watching you, give Me your heart My shepherds. I have given to you a great gift this day, give Me your thanks and continue to pray. It is through prayer that you will accomplish all that the Father intends you to accomplish.

    I am Jesus, the Son of God. I have chosen you, I have called you and you will accomplish the work that the Father intends you to through prayer. Do not be discouraged, but encouraged for I am God and I am with you. Think of how it was before, when you did not share your love with so many others, but I have given you each other and I have bound your hearts in one heart and you come here because your hearts are filled with great joy. The more you love and the more the Movement spreads, the more will be the blessings, for as the love expounds and gets larger, the love is more full, for your love is rooted in Me and the more you love deeply the more full the love you will have. This is how it will be, one body in Me, and you will love many and you will know them deeply in your heart and your heart is full My shepherds, because I have taught you My ways of love and given you each other. You are My holy family and I love you. I have called you and so you say “why me?”, and I say to you “why this Saint, or that Saint or why the Blessed Mother, why were you called?”. You were called because I love you and I have given to you a great grace to be My shepherd in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
