August 16, 2005 - 1st message
Messenger: We know God in our hearts.
We can communicate with Him in
our hearts. God teaches us about the
spiritual life.
A person in the state of grace
especially has the spirit of God alive
in them.
We know the Father deeply who
created us and loves us. He is a
Divine Person. We know Jesus most
intimately. He gives us His Body and
Blood to eat in the Eucharist. We
can have a special spousal union with
Him.
Sisters and brothers, people in the
religious life, must deeply live this
spousal union with Jesus.
Sometimes when we are not doing
God's will, not living as He desires,
He may allow us to suffer to help us
to see more clearly what He wants of us.
God fills our being with His presence.
He dwells in us in a special way when we
are in the state of grace.
When we are baptized, our knowing and
loving capacity is elevated.
We were created by God to love. Our
life is to be lived to learn to love God and
all others. This life here is a preparation
for our heavenly home. When we die, our
souls, if we loved and served God, go
to heaven. There in heaven to have the
fullness of life forever and ever. There
in heaven to love deeply.
Jesus speaks: In
My house there are many mansions.
You were put on this earth to learn to love
and to thereby live in love for all eternity.
Many do not realize the importance of
developing the spiritual life here below.
Life is in Me.
Life eternal, the fullness
of life is in Me, existing in My love
for all eternity, being wrapped in the
embrace of the Divine God.
The spirit is willing but the flesh
is weak. Live in My love.
1 John 4: 12-13
No one has ever seen God,
but as long as we love one another
God remains in us
and his love comes to its perfection in us.
This is the proof that we remain in him
and he in us,
that he has given us a share in his Spirit.
August 16, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: Now
I speak to you of the spiritual
life. I speak to you of the will. What do
you know of the will? Can you touch it
like an organ? Can you hug it like a
child? Can you hug your 2 year old's will?
And you say to Me, "Jesus, that is silly."
And I say to you, I give to you a free will,
it is nothing other's touch, it is your will.
You can freely will. You can freely hate.
A mother cannot touch the will of
the 2 year old with her hand. She may
spank a baby and try, but in the end
the will to obey the mother is an activity
the child and mother do not touch physically.
The child says yes or no himself and
acts as he desires.
Loving, people may embrace on a physical
level, they may touch, they may cry tears
of joy or sorrow, but the actual loving
is an activity within the heart which is
untouchable by the human hand.
Your physical mother bore you. Your
spiritual Mother leads you in the spirit.
Your physical mother may have taught you
to love. Your spiritual Mother schools you
in the ways of love. I gave you your
spiritual Mother under the cross.
Messenger:
Oh Spirit of God, come and fill
our hearts, not with the perishable
things of this earth, but with the wisdom
of the Incarnate God.
Jesus speaks:
Oh sweet one, I come to sing a
song to you of the joy of My love,
untouchable by human hands, but
expressed in the smile of the morning,
the countenance on their face, the sparkle
of their eyes, the joy of the sunlit day.
Why I watch you with your focus on
the physical and the Holy Spirit breathes
His love in your soul.
A breath of fresh air is a welcome
burst to you. You fail to see how the
Holy Spirit wants to breathe His life
in your soul. On the spiritual level
things are untouchable and inexpressible
in human physical form. And yet the
song of love is a passion of joy filling
the heart. The emotions of the heart
know no bounds. The way to know My
love is to know no limits. Kiss My
Heart, sweet one, and know My love.
Come to the Eucharist and know My
presence. Let the Spirit fill your soul.
Let His love permeate your spirit. Let the
light He brings enlighten your soul and
bring you peace forever, peace not as
men know peace but peace as only
I can give.
Messenger: Alleluia, Alleluia, and He filled
their souls with song. The river flows,
the earth is watered. The seed yields
a plentiful harvest, the vine rich
with its yield.
A light to the people, oh Simeon,
A light shining in the darkness
a candle in the dark night
Jesus speaks: They see and do not see
They hear and do not hear
I will break their backs so
they will sit up long enough to
look and listen
For when I sweetly sent her (Our Lady of Clearwater)
they did not see at all, showing
you how blind men really are
Oh that you would pray,
but to some praying is foreign
Mary speaks: Oh children of America
sing
wait
sing
wait
sing and
wait

August 16, 2005 - 2nd message
Messenger:
Meditating on the rosary are spiritual
exercises, exercises Mary told St. Dominic
to pray, exercises in meditating on her
life and the life of Jesus.
Now let us look at a thought
I am a mathematician and I can find
an area of a square, perimeter of a square,
the perimeter and area of a right triangle.
I know a formula. It is very easy
for me to do this. I love math, besides
for this emotion, there is not the same
emotion in my heart as thinking of how
I love my children and grandchildren, I
love them deeply. I see their faces.
I remember the cute things they have
done. There is mental activity and
loving from my heart. I cannot
touch my thoughts, nor can you
take a picture while Mary appeared to me
of what I saw, but after she appeared to
me over 500 times, she appeared on the
building in Clearwater the same day
the Red Rosary Book left the printer.
Now theologically one may explain,
or try to, about some of these things to
you, but I dictate here as He speaks
through me.
When experiencing ecstasies I have
had both, with some visions and not
visions, it is difficult to explain how
God indelibly prints knowledge of
Himself on my soul. He is the Initiator,
I am the soul waiting His favor. And
His favor I truly know with a reality
that you may know that the grass
is green and the sky is blue.
It is in opening a crack into heaven
a vision so far beyond any physical sight,
painted by the hand of God, like the
image They put in Clearwater, shimmering
in the sunlight, dancing in the moonlight
against a darkened, starlit sky. And at
this vision They implant on my soul a
knowledge of God, of Divine truths,
wisdom, and understanding insights into
the Divine mysteries.
So God shows to us great beauties
of His creation and yet there is a beauty
we do not see in the exercises we know,
the revelations imparted within the soul,
spiritual exercises, but for me it is not
so much as a big exercise where I produce
the activity but the preparation of
my soul ready and waiting His action
upon me. Exercises are those we may do
in using the meditations They have given
to us in the Red Rosary Book and other
books, but special insights occur, ecstasies
when God acts on the soul, at His
initiation that is ready and waiting
His favor.
Relationship with friends, family,
etc. can be deepened by physical
contact, such as touching the baby,
kissing the child, hugging one another,
but relationship is a part in the mind
and the heart, oneness with each other,
one in mind and heart and we don't touch
feelings and thoughts with our physical
hands.
Are we not all sort of a big
mystery, even our insides seem to be a mystery.
High blood pressure within, may only be
detected by a doctor, clogged arteries etc.
If the physical organs seem to be a mystery
in the body, can we understand a little
the mystery of all the thoughts thought
since day one, all the scenes seen,
all the smells smelled, the feelings felt,
the words spoken, the things heard,
all comprising ourselves with thoughts,
emotions, feelings, that we speak with
today. Can you touch my thoughts
or see the visions I have seen - so
very, very, very many, but to you
I impart the knowledge and love
He has revealed to me, as He
summoned me to.
Mystery, mystery, mystery ...
Excerpt from Response to God's Love,
by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
1 The Mystery of Christ and
Christian Existence...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentilesthe mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

Excerpt from the Mass Book
T
HE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVENI long to unite in the deepest union with Him in the Eucharist. I long for the Mass. I long for Thee, oh God. My every moment, I join as I did to You December 15 under the cross, where I felt Your presence. You whisked me away, and I was totally absorbed in that moment of celestial union with You. For that time, I existed only in You, in the deepest union, and I was in this moment existing in You. The earth stopped, and I touched the heavens, all my bodily cares were existent in You. I existed in Your Divinity, my being was in You. There was no desire or wish or wanting, for in that moment, I had all I wanted in You. I was satisfied and wanted nothing but to remain in that embrace. You were the Being, and my being existed in You, but I was only as I was in You - merged in You, knowing and being in Your Divinity and being so full as to feel complete in myself.
You are so enormous, and You surrounded me in a burning embrace, the presence of red fire. I was not little, or "nothing", but existed in this enormous power and being so complete!
I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.
This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.
The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.
Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.
Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.
Song from Jesus: 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.
He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.
Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.
Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.
He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.

Messenger:
Is it no wonder Mary, the spiritual
Mother, appeared for 7½ years
Have we lost sight of spiritual
exercises?
Has the noise of the world blocked
our ability to have a deep intimate
relationship with Christ
to meditate on the mysteries of the
rosary
I have seen the most beautiful
veil, glistening, "see-through", like a
golden net and behind, the Mother of
God appear in such radiant beauty
and light and the Eucharist exposed,
adorned in a golden, glistening light
I cannot explain or account, nor
can I tell you of the revelations
implanted on my soul.
But the reality of that which I
speak is as real to me as He
says as the nose on your face.
Oh glistening stars of heaven,
twinkling before my eyes, I wonder
not for your beauty, nor for the One
Who created you, but I wonder
whence I will go to heaven for
my eternal reward, oh lights
of heaven shine in my soul, awaken
more fully the knowledge I
know nor hold in my hand,
the mystery of the One Who adorns
the fields with a blanket of snow,
the rolling meadows of green and
the little flowers of the field
Oh God open our eyes to Thee.
August 16, 2005 - 3rd message
Messenger: A
person that goes in your
house and spills something on the
floor does something you can
see and you can tell them.
A person doing passive-aggressive
behavior can continually repeat the same
pattern, provoking another person.
And yet it is not like being violated
by someone who comes in your house
and spills something on the floor.
People have patterned ways of acting
that can be changed for the better,
that can get worse with certain individuals,
and can snap into a full-fledged
increase of patterns after spending a short time
with those in your childhood family.
I speak of that which you cannot
touch to unveil the workings of satan in
ways that block productive work and
promote love and oneness.
What is the oneness of Christ that
it speaks of in the Gospel? What
does it mean to be one with Christ,
one with the Father?
Why do married people exchange rings
at the wedding?
Why do many sisters and brothers
wear rings?
What does this message of Father Carter
mean to us?
Given to Father Carter
on the Feast of St. Ignatius
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."

Messenger:
A man helping to print a rosary given on July 28, 1995,
argued,
and argued, and argued that Jesus used
too many "so muchs" in the Blue
Book talking of His love and there were
too many times "one" was used in the rosary.
Why does Christ speak so much
about oneness in the Mass?
And yet the priest at Mass one
day said 75% of the people are divorced.
I don't even know if this is true,
but I do know it is a lot that are divorced.
When a divorce occurs if children
are involved, which came from an act of
oneness, all of a sudden what was once
a husband and wife now are separated.
A child sleeps probably with the
mom and another dad part of the time
and the natural dad and possibility another
woman the other time.
Endeavors can try to be made
for the child who must live this nightmare,
as it may seem to them (some cases
can be exceptions where parents must
separate if abuse occurs).
Everything is made to look okay
because it is legally settled usually.
Rules are made, but there is
usually deep bitterness and hate because the once
parents can no longer live with each other
to the point they can make this child
live a divided life.
Is this what happens many times
in the world in situations, that
things that could be very simple are
figured out enormously complicated
with lots of rules to govern them
to live according to what man
wants and may not be God's will
at all.
How is a divorce made to look okay?
How does it look from the children's
eyes who are the victims?
How do parents compensate the child?
How do they bend the rules?
How are they taught about oneness
when they are forced to live a life of
division every minute and every day
because two people who once "loved"
each other, now cannot even get along
so the children are forced to live
separated lives.
In the course of history, there
has been many divorces, but never
to the extent there is today.
A child may be forced to go through
yet another divorce, learning the lesson
that marriage can be a temporary commitment.
Some children are forced to live a
bitter life of hate as parents may fight
over them wanting them, or not
wanting them.
Already the child may be given
the message living with the mother's
new boyfriend was more important to
mother then living with the child's
father.
In a world in which God has
given this message
John 17: 20-23
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
August 16, 2005 message continues
Messenger:
what confusion that can cause
that child, when mom and dad cannot
even get along.
What else does the scriptures say
about this matter?
Ephesians 5: 21-33
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. To sum up: you also, each one of you, must love his wife as he loves himself; and let every wife respect her husband.
We take credit cards.
