                    Thank you for letting me be a member of the
                Shepherds of Christ family, it is such a precious gift.
                Dear God help me never to stop thanking You
                for this precious gift molded in Your Heart —
                We are one in the love of the Hearts of Jesus
                and Mary - living IN Him — living as branches
                united to the Vine - so identified in this love
                for souls with Him — For He gave His life for
                His precious souls —

                Oh Savior who took on flesh for me — help me
                to forever serve You, by loving all more and
                more likened to You for
                You are the vine
                We are the branches
                Your life is alive in us
                Oh Savior — I love You so very much —

                Help me to be so deeply one with the Sacrifice
                    of the Mass — the Sacrifice of Calvary,
                    sacramentally made present — I unite
                    myself to the most pleasing sacrifice of
                    Jesus to the Father — Being one in Him —
                    in the Holy Spirit for the sake of souls.

Readings from Today

Numbers 12: 1-13

Miriam, and Aaron too, criticised Moses over the Cushite woman he had married. He had indeed married a Cushite woman. They said, ‘Is Moses the only one through whom Yahweh has spoken? Has he not spoken through us too?’ Yahweh heard this. Now Moses was extremely humble, the humblest man on earth.

Suddenly Yahweh said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, ‘Come out, all three of you, to the Tent of Meeting.’ They went, all three of them, and Yahweh descended in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they both came forward. Yahweh said: Listen to my words! if there is a prophet among you, I reveal myself to him in a vision, I speak to him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses; to him my whole household is entrusted; to him I speak face to face, plainly and not in riddles, and he sees Yahweh’s form. How, then, could you dare to criticise my servant Moses? Yahweh’s anger was aroused by them. He went away, and as soon as the cloud left the Tent, there was Miriam covered with a virulent skin–disease, white as snow! Aaron turned to look at her and saw that she had contracted a virulent skin–disease.

Aaron said to Moses: ‘Oh, my Lord, please do not punish us for the sin we have been foolish enough to commit. Do not let her be like some monster with its flesh half eaten away when it leaves its mother’s womb!’ Moses pleaded with Yahweh. ‘O God,’ he said, ‘I beg you, please heal her!’

Psalm 51: 3-7, 12-13

For I am well aware of my offences,
my sin is constantly in mind.
Against you, you alone, I have sinned,
I have done what you see to be wrong,

that you may show your saving justice when you pass sentence,
and your victory may appear when you give judgement,
remember, I was born guilty,
a sinner from the moment of conception.

But you delight in sincerity of heart,
and in secret you teach me wisdom.
Purify me with hyssop till I am clean,
wash me till I am whiter than snow.

Give me back the joy of your salvation,
sustain in me a generous spirit.
I shall teach the wicked your paths,
and sinners will return to you.

Matthew 14: 22-36

And at once he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he sent the crowds away. After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, while the boat, by now some furlongs from land, was hard pressed by rough waves, for there was a head–wind. In the fourth watch of the night he came towards them, walking on the sea, and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. ‘It is a ghost,’ they said, and cried out in fear. But at once Jesus called out to them, saying, ‘Courage! It’s me! Don’t be afraid.’ It was Peter who answered. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.’ Jesus said, ‘Come.’ Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water, but then noticing the wind, he took fright and began to sink. ‘Lord,’ he cried, ‘save me!’ Jesus put out his hand at once and held him. ‘You have so little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?’ And as they got into the boat the wind dropped. The men in the boat bowed down before him and said, ‘Truly, you are the Son of God.’

Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret. When the local people recognised him they spread the news through the whole neighbourhood and took all that were sick to him, begging him just to let them touch the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched it were saved.

It is a reality that churches are closing and have
to close.

                When we go to many areas with lots of beauty
                or money, the richest places of the earth —
                beautiful scenery, wealth we can all see
                that if we have riches they may be the
                scantiest places for they do not have the
                great gift of daily Mass, a priest even
                available except pastor over three
                parishes and worn doing 3 Masses, some
                Sundays in three churches.

                    How can we be so very rich — experiencing
                money, the beauty of God's creation and to
                me being rich means having a priest saying
                daily Mass at my parish every day.

                    We pray 24 hours for the priests, the Church
                and the world and many days since we say
                6:20 pm prayers in St. Anthony's Chapel China,
                Indiana we have to travel almost an hour
                to Mass.

                    In West Virginia there was no Mass near
                the area on Wednesday and no Masses except Friday,
                Saturday and Sunday.

                    Every time we go to Mass we must pray
                for our priests, the Church and the world.
                We can take our precious priests for granted.
                We can take daily Mass for granted — To me
                daily Mass, the Blessed Sacrament available,
                for adoration is the treasure of the greatest
                gift.

To have money, riches, beauty and no
Mass near by is to have poverty.

                    Why isn't everyone joining us praying
                for the priests, the Church and the world.
                What is going to happen for our children,
                grandchildren?

Matthew 28-30

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

My birthday is August 8, 2007.

                I pray for funds to do this work —
                I pray we can reach the world with the consecration.
                I pray that souls do God's will and they go to heaven.
                I pray the souls of this earth Thank God for the
                    priest and the Church — the gift of the Mass.

Song: A Priest is a Gift from God

We want to get out the Church Newsletter and the
book of prayers for before the Blessed Sacrament.

precious gift of the Shepherds of Christ Movement —

                On the 19th of each month the building payment
                    for the Clearwater, Florida building is due.
                    I know God the Father wants us to keep this
                    building as a place of prayer.

                On August 19, 2007 it will be the 90th anniversary
                    of when Mary appeared at Fatima the 4th
                    time after the children were jailed
                    August 13, 1917.

It is 1260 days since Mary's image head
was destroyed March 1, 2004.

Revelation 12: 1-6

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

                Several months later the first big hurricane hit
                    Florida — after Mary's image head was
                    destroyed, August 13, 2004 as we prayed in China,
                    Indiana.

                Jesus has asked me to do this retreat in reparation
                    for the neglect of the Fatima message
                    the children being jailed and Mary's image head
                    being knocked off.

God is trying to reach the earth to tell them
to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.

13 Years ago Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. gave us this message.

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
