John Weickert,

    I would like to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated 16 July 2002, and of the books "Shepherds of Christ Spirituality Newsletters Book 2", and the red books enclosed therein.

    I appreciate very much your prayers for the shepherds of Christ, daily at 6:20 PM including me as well. August is a special month in my priestly and episcopal life:

                10 August 1960:    Priestly Ordination

                24 August 1993:    Episcopal Ordination

    You kindly note these dates in your prayer calendar. Some time ago I had requested the Parish Team of Priests and the Religious communities to start at least monthly an hour of adoration, but this has weakened. The Cathedral Parish Communities are re-beginning.

    It 6:20 PM I shall join you in prayers for the Shepherds all around the world.

    ...

                               United in the Shepherds of Christ Ministries,

                               +_____________

Dear Mrs. Rita Ring

I just received your kind letter with several prayers. Thank you very much. Yes, I'll try to spread the Shepherd of Christ Priestly Newsletter. And I'll ask many people to pray with these intentions. We need to pray more, to trust more, to love more.

Please pray for our Diocese, where many people don't know Our Lord. They need the material food and the spiritual Bread. I am praying for you and your movement every day.

With my benediction   +_______

God's blessings to you.

Thank you so much for providing these Rosary Meditations for small children. We have been using the small handbook "The Scriptural Rosary" and although it is very good, I like yours better. I believe these meditations will be much more interesting to my kids and better teaching tools than the ones we are currently using. I have four children aged 2, 3, 5 and 9. We pray the Rosary every night before bedtime, and we pray throughout the day, so the other prayers will be helpful to me, as well.

I am a convert to the Faith. I was converted upon my first attendance at Mass on Ash Wednesday, 1991, when I realized that Christ was present in the Holy Eucharist. I was reared in a Baptist household, but I was a non-Christian. ...

It is all very exciting for me, and for my children, as well, as I pass it on to them. We are committed to daily Rosary now. My 9 year old son even gets anxious for bedtime now because he so loves praying the Rosary. Hail Mary! I love you, Jesus!

Thank you so much.

With love in Christ,

August 28, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        Can you pray as an Apostle of the Eucharistic 

                                Heart of Jesus?

                            Here is a message Jesus gave to Fr. Carter.
  

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

  
My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
2. For the Pope.
3. For all bishops of the world.
4. For all priests.
5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
8. For all members of the human family.
9. For all souls in purgatory.
