Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks:  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.

Mary's Message Tape

recorded December 12, 1996 -
5 days before Mary appeared on the building

 

   
Messenger:  It is recommended this message from Mary be read before the crucifix. This message was received from Mary in a live rosary August the 27^th, 1996 at Tom Arlinghaus’ farm. Mary appeared to me daily from July the 5^th of 1994 until September the 5^th of 1995. The story of these apparitions are given in a book published by Shepherds of Christ Ministries called Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Mary appeared on the 5^th of the month from July the 5^th of 1994 until October the 5^th of 1996. On that day Mary gave to me the following message: "On this October the 5^th, 1996, I beg you, as your heavenly Mother, to not ignore the importance of these rosaries. I have appeared, I have begged, I have warned you. I can not hold back the hand of my Son any longer. His hand is struck with power.

On December the 5^th, 1996, Jesus appeared on the crucifix. His mouth and His jaw moved for twenty minutes. It is significant that Jesus appeared on December the 5^th, 1996 instead of Mary appearing. Jesus has called His apostles together on the 13^th of the month at 12 o’clock. Jesus has given me four very strong messages concerning the gatherings on the 13^th. The messages given were on October the 16^th, 1996, the feast of St. Margaret Mary, October the 21^st, 1996, October the 30^th, 1996 and November the 3^rd of 1996.

On October the 16^th of 1996 Jesus spoke. He said, "This is a crucial rosary on the 13^th of each month to help in the completion of the Fatima message. The 13^th is a time to draw you together in harmony. These are messages given through Rita for the Shepherds of Christ Movement. These messages are for you. I tell you of the urgency of these messages. The dark times are at hand. The Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is a crucial part of the completion of the Fatima message."

On October the 21^st, 1996, Jesus gave the following message. Jesus speaks, "I am Who am. I am God. These messages are My messages. I am telling you of the importance of the 13^th of the month to this world. The 13^th of the month is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message. The 13^th is of utmost importance. The tape from October 13^th must be circulated on November the 13^th. The time is very short and many will not know because of the delays. I beg you to please circulate this letter immediately."

On October the 30^th, Jesus gave a very strong message and Jesus said that He has spoken and He will take action.

On November the 3^rd, Jesus said that some apostles are being distracted and must commit themselves more fully to their calling in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus said that they must study the messages given in these rosaries and from God’s Blue Book. He said that it is necessary to spend private time with Him each day, preferably before the tabernacle.

Jesus said on First Friday, December the 6^th, "I am calling you as a family. You will be joined in one heart, acting as My Heart beating in this world. All the apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement will be joined in one heart."

The core leaders will contact the coordinators, the coordinators will contact the individual apostles, all are apostles with a job directed by Jesus to do. Mary’s peace plan was given at Fatima. We must follow this peace plan. Mary appeared at Fatima. Fatima is accepted by the Church. Mary said at Fatima, "Until a sufficient number of people consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we won’t have peace in the world."

Do we want peace? We must follow Mary’s peace plan. She has promised the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. We must do as she said. Mary appeared at Fatima six times from May the 13^th of 1917 to October the 13^th of 1917. To prove the authenticity of these messages on her last visit, the sun began to spin in the sky and looked as if it would crash to the earth. Men ignored her pleadings and her plan, and there was WWII, as she said would happen if we ignored her. The completion of the Fatima message is at hand. Our Lord has entrusted the peace of the world to her. If we want peace, we must do as she says. This is the good news.

Satan has blocked this message in the Church and the world. We must reach the priests, the children and the family with this message. The founder is reaching the priests in the priestly newsletter which goes to all priests in the United States and many priests around the world. The founder has a doctors degree in theology. He is   founder of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He has written 15 books on spirituality and is presently teaching at Xavier University. He has been a professor there for 31 years.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, we have many ministries centered in consecration. Mary has told us at Fatima we must consecrate our hearts to have peace. We have prayer chapters all over the world praying for the renewal of the Church and the world, centered in praying for the priests who have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We are attempting to reach the priests and religious, the school children, the families, the nursing homes and the prisons with this consecration. Do we want peace? This is the good news. Mary, our heavenly Mother, has told us what we must do. In the prayer chapters, we have modern day apostles that are contacting the schools and the churches. If we can get the children to consecrate their hearts daily, we will see great advances toward peace. The apostles of the Shepherds of Christ Movement are reaching the Church and trying to set up prayer chapters in parishes in which people consecrate their hearts and pray the rosary and pray for priests and the world. There is a special prayer manual used with the Imprimatur. The apostles of the Shepherds of Christ Movement are reaching the priests and encouraging them to read the priestly newsletter and to consecrate their hearts.

We also have a separate ministry, the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. In this ministry, people volunteer to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour twice weekly 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.

Jesus gave the following message to the founder on July the 31^st, 1994, feast of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus:

My beloved priest companion,

I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ and the Movement, the 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 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. It is only in prayer that the Church and the world will be renewed.

We must do as our heavenly Mother has asked us at Fatima or we will not have peace in the world. We have prayer chapters all over the world praying for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a powerful instrument that our Lord is using to renew the Church and the world. We have prayer chapters all over the world praying for the priests. We have the junior prayer chapters. We are circulating consecration cards and rosary meditations in the schools to the children. We are reaching the people in nursing homes and in prisons and setting up prayer groups centered in consecration. People are praying in nursing homes and in prisons for the priests, for the renewal of the world.

In two and one-half years, our ministries have spread throughout the world. We have our own web site on the Internet and we publish many books, audio tapes and videos. Our web site address is http://www.SofC.org. We are spreading the love of Jesus to this earth. His Heart is on fire and wanting to love us. Our world is hungry for His love. We are feeding the world with the messages of His love. Our Church is the greatest. Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. He is alive and with us today. He gives us Himself in the Eucharist. What a gift of love! We receive the Divine Almighty God Who gives Himself to us intimately. Nothing will fill the starved and hurting souls but His love.

We are offending God. We must repent, make reparation and do His will. Mary has told us what to do. A simple act of giving our hearts to Jesus and Mary, professing our great love for Them. This is consecration, giving ourselves to Them. Souls at this very moment are falling into the fiery furnace of hell for all eternity. Please help us. This is the good news. We must do as Mary has said. We must pray for the priests and for the renewal of the Church and the world.

As of now, we have not had a center of our own. On October the 13^th, 1996, we gathered at a beautiful farm to pray for the completion of the Fatima message. There were about 400 people from prayer chapters that joined us. These people came from different places in the United States where we have prayer chapters. We now have a center for our renewal as instructed by our Lord. We operate on donations totally. We are a non-profit organization. The priestly newsletter is sent worldwide on donations only. In order to be able to send the materials, prayer manuals, newsletters, books, tapes, rosaries, and consecrations for the schools, we need donations. We are asking for donations and/or property to help us accomplish this task. It is through Mary’s peace plan we will have peace. If you can in any way help us, we would greatly appreciate it.

The renewal of the Church and the world is at hand. In baptism, we were commissioned to spread the good news. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, we are touching so many hearts and asking all to turn their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are hearts of love and peace. The more the Movement spreads, the more hearts will be turned to love and peace.

Will you please help us with your donations and prayers? For any further information, please write Shepherds of Christ Ministries, P.O. Box 193, Morrow, Ohio, 45152-0193. Telephone: (toll free) 1-888-211-3041 or (513) 932-4451; FAX: (513) 932-6791.

These are messages from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. There is a book Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that contains over 200 pages. There are live rosaries with these messages on tape. There are three volumes of messages from Jesus entitled God’s Blue Book. All messages and tapes have been discerned by the founder. A very important book to help you understand Fatima is The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje by Father Edward J. Carter. There are many tapes and books available from the Shepherds of Christ Ministries. There is another book entitled Tell My People: Messages from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary received by Father Edward J. Carter. Please write to us. Thank you and God bless you. Thank you for listening to Mary’s plea.

February 13, 1997

Talk given by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J. Founder of Shepherds of Christ Ministries

Talk given February 13, 1997 National Conference of Shepherds of Christ, held at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood, Ohio.

    Before we begin the rosary, I’d like to say a few words about the great importance of these days on the 13th of each month. Before Our Lord asked me to begin the Shepherds of Christ Ministries, the 1st dimension of that ministries was given to me on May the 31st, 1994. But before Our Lord asked me to start the ministries, I had been given a great devotion to Our Lady of Fatima. And I knew that everything concerning recent Marian apparitions centered around the Fatima message. The Fatima message is key to the peace of the world, as Our Lady of Fatima has told us. So because I had been given a great devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, it was no surprise to me when Our Lord told me, and through me the whole Movement, the great connection that there would be between Shepherds of Christ Ministries and helping to bring the Fatima message to conclusion. I’ll expand more upon that in my talk this afternoon. But here and now I’d like to read just a part of the message I received on October the 13th, 1994, when Our Lord called the full Ministries into existence. It had begun May 31st , some five or six months previous to that. But really October the 13th, 1994, marks the real birth, the complete birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. And part of the message I received on that day reads as follows:

"I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th anniversary of the great apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ Movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the Reign of My Sacred Heart. Today then, October the 13th, 1994, the 77th anniversary of the great apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, the Chief Shepherd of the Flock."

    The calling of Our Lord to Shepherds of Christ to be present if possible at these meetings on the 13th of each month, and if they cannot be present physically, to be present in spirit with us then comes as no surprise. It’s merely another unfolding in the history of the Shepherds of Christ Movement and in the Fatima message.

    These 13th of the months meetings are extremely important. They are great instruments which Our Lord and Our Lady are using to help bring to completion the Fatima message, which will result in that great era of peace, which Our Lady of Fatima promised eventually would come to the world.

    So I ask you to take these meetings on the 13th of the month with the utmost seriousness, gratitude, thanksgiving, joy that Our Lord, for His own reasons has chosen Shepherds of Christ, the members thereof, the whole Ministries to play such a great part in the completion of the Fatima message. It comes as no surprise either that Our Lord gives special messages during the rosary on the meeting of the 13th, just as Our Lady of Fatima gave messages to the three visionaries at Fatima in 1917, from May through October. So at this stage of the Fatima message’s unfolding, it is no surprise that they continue, and in a new way and a new phase of the Fatima plan, give us these very special messages on the 13th. They are meant not only for us here present, they are meant for all members of the Movement, and eventually for the whole world. All these messages, all these rosaries on the 13th, eventually go onto our Internet with its world-wide audience.

    So please, be very grateful to God for the messages He gives us during the rosary. Not everything which Rita says is a message. I think you’ll be able to distinguish when she’s receiving a message from Our Lord or from Our Lady, and when she is speaking from her own heart. Sometimes the transition is very quick and you may miss it, but there are both ways in which meditations are given on the decades: in strict locutions or messages, and then from Rita’s meditations or reflections herself.

(After the Rosary)

    I wish to thank everybody who made the effort to be here with us, especially those people who had to travel from out of town. I’m sure the Lord has blessed you already and will continue to do so for your effort to be here. These are extremely important meetings on the 13th of the month. Our Lord has, Himself, instructed us in His great love and mercy for us and the whole world to have them. From these meetings, the messages of Our Lord, the previous message given at Fatima, go out to the whole world...

    I sort of left off when I introduced the rosary by reading the rest, or at least a good part of the rest, of that message which I, myself, received on October the 13th, 1994, when Our Lord called the full Shepherds of Christ Ministries into existence.

"My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission."

    He had already asked me on May the 31st of 1994 to start the priestly newsletter and then shortly after that to start the prayer chapters.

    "I’m asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

    "I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

    "Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

    So (this is) one of the most important messages given in the whole history of our Movement, and I think you can see why. Not only was Our Lord calling the Ministries into full bloom with this message, but He was making that great connection between Shepherds of Christ and the Fatima message.

    You see how He says that both the Fatima message and Shepherds of Christ is centered in devotion, and especially in consecration, to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    So in my moments here before you this afternoon, I wish to speak a bit about this consecration.

    I’ll start off by reading a message of Our Lord and from "Tell My People" which deals with this consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    "My beloved friend, tell My people that I desire all to consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Tell them not to just recite words in making the Act of Consecration, but to realize what they are saying. Consecration to Our Hearts means a total gift of self. That means handing over everything to Me and My Mother. Consecration means a willingness to surrender completely to Me. In Baptism, one is consecrated to Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But how many fail to live out their consecration? I extend to all the invitation to renew this Baptismal consecration through consecration to My Heart and to My Mother’s Heart.

    "My beloved companion, I have taught you what this consecration means. I have given you great peace, joy and happiness because you have made this consecration. I have taught you that you are to renew this act of consecration each day. I constantly remind you that you are to pray each day for the grace to more and more live the consecration. I have taught you that your consecration to Me and My Mother means that you constantly surrender yourself to Us and to Our care. I have taught you that the more you surrender yourself to Me, the more I live in you, and through you and for you. I have taught you that My great love for you longs to draw you more deeply into My Heart. I have shown you that I wish your Mother Mary to place you there within My Heart, and that the more you dwell within her Heart, the more deeply she places you within My Heart. Dwelling within Our Hearts, the Holy Spirit fashions you more and more in My likeness. The Father thus looks upon you with greater favor and takes you more closely to Himself.

"Tell My people all these wondrous truths. I am Lord and Master and I desire all to listen to My words. (end of message)"

    And what beautiful words those are, which Christ gives all, to us all regarding the consecration to His Heart and Mary’s Heart.

    I want to - after that message of Jesus telling us what consecration involves, I wish to single out a few aspects of the consecration, what it includes. One aspect of our consecration and especially the consecration which Our Lord has given us for Shepherds of Christ, one aspect of our consecration to Their Hearts is to realize that we are apostles and that we are called to go out into the world as we have heard in the rosary today, and other times to be the apostles of His love, of His love and His Mother’s love, and thus to help bring about that great era of peace promised by Our Lord, Our Lady of Fatima in which love will just dominate. That’s what it means when Our Lady says, "In the end," she says, "my Immaculate Heart will triumph." And along with that triumph of her Immaculate Heart will occur the Reign of the Sacred Heart. The Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart simply is a reign of love, a triumph of love and in that era there will be a type of love existent in the hearts of the members of the human family never known before. We will all be so united in love to the Father and the Holy Spirit through the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And not only with Them, but with each other. What a glorious era we have to look forward to.

    We are apostles. More and more as the Movement has gone on, Jesus is letting us know that, yes, we are supposed to pray. This is one of our primary duties in the chapters and elsewhere, to pray for priests and all others. But more and more He is telling us that now is the time to start to more and more move out from our chapters and to be apostles of His love, to help spread the Movement, to help spread the consecrations in the schools through the consecration cards, the Rosary Aves, both of which have the Imprimatur of the Cincinnati Archdiocese, to help spread all our materials, all our books and all the various rosaries, the rosary tapes. And you are called to do that.

    In the beginning of the Movement, it was a relatively few people who were carrying the burden and carrying the Ministry on. We have entered a great new episode of the Movement, principally in that episode, principally centers itself around these meetings of the 13th. More and more people are realizing as they hear more and more the messages, more and more people in the Movement are hearing that Jesus is calling each one of us to be apostles of the Movement, to spread the Movement, to help implement the various ministries in all ways possible, to help spread the movement by starting new prayer chapters. Just think if we have something like, I guess, 2500-3000 members in the chapters and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement here in this country and throughout the world-most of those, thus far, in this country.

    But just think if each person would take it upon himself or herself to go all out to get one more new chapter formed. That’s not impossible, I don’t think that’s asking something heroic. That would double our chapters; that would double our prayer power. And so much of the Movement, the success of it, depends upon the prayer power coming out of the chapters and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement. So He’s calling all of us; and how admirably so many in the Movement are answering. I wish to single out-just because all of you know about the Florida apparition-four or five, six, I don’t know how many now of our members from Rita’s core group have gone down to the apparition site. One of our main members, Tom A., has a home there at St. Petersburg, and Clearwater is just a short distance from there. And they’ve been going down and staying in his house, and each day going over to the apparition site and handing out our materials, especially the rosary message tape, but other materials also. This is what Our Lord, Our Lady has asked us to do. And they’ve had phenomenal success. We can’t keep enough materials down there. They just, the people are just so eager for it. But this is what. . .and they do it on their own time, they drive down, some of them spend three or four days, some a week and they come back. But what a marvelous example of their answering the call to the apostleship to which Jesus calls them in the Movement. And they’re doing just a tremendous amount of good.

    And by the way when I’m talking and as long as I’m talking about Florida I might read you part of that message of Our Lady. You have read it, no doubt if you’d gotten a copy of the picture with the message on the back. But for my own purposes I want to read that here and now. So Mary tells us, this is the message which Rita received on December the 19th:

Mary speaks: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn’. He is the Almighty God the Light of the world.

    I appear to you, my children on a bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you.

    When Rita got that message and when she gave it to me, both of us for a number of days thought that her number of apparitions was simply decreasing, but we both came to the conclusion; well Rita came to the conclusion and I followed after her, in agreement with her conclusion, Mary says, "I do not appear as I once appeared to you." She was saying apparently that, "I’m appearing to you in this new way, where the whole world can see me."

    So many others’ apparition sites have had their believers of course, but many, many people throughout the world have doubted all this talk about the various apparition sites of Mary. She says, "I do not appear as I once appeared to you." She is appearing on a bank for the whole world to see.

Mary continues:

    "I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now."

    That’s one of the main things our apostles down in Florida are doing, handing out the tapes with this message.

Mary continues:

    "Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book."

    She’s referring to a book which Shepherds of Christ Publications came out right around Christmas time. Hopefully all of you have received it in the mail, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as given to Rita. Now here’s the point I want to make here and now. Notice how she links up the apparition site with the circulation of her Rosary Book, and we are circulating the book there. But to me, there’s a very great phenomenon connected with the colors on the window, bank windows and the Rosary Book. And Rita herself pointed this out to me. Now this cover on this book-it was designed by Hal K. weeks and even months before the apparition of Our Lady on the bank in Florida. When did you start to design that Hal? (question asked to Harold K.) Almost, two years ago. And the colors were already selected months ago, right? Well if you’ll take the picture of the bank of the apparition of the bank on Florida, and this Rosary Book, you will notice that the colors are the same. To me, that’s a miraculous confirmation of the fact that Our Lady is connecting the apparition site on the bank in Florida with the Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a special way with the rosaries. It’s just phenomenal. You can check the colors out one by one. They’re a little bit brighter on the book, but because of the photography involved I think you can see how they wouldn’t be quite as bright on this. But check out the colors. They’re the same on the Rosary Book and on this. And these colors, as I say, were picked by Hal months and months before the apparition. You can take it for what you want, but for me it’s a miraculous confirmation of this message, that Our Lady chose those same colors which are on the front of her Rosary Book, to show the same colors relative to her apparition there on the bank in Florida.

    Therefore, our Florida apostles are one of the many examples I could point out to you of how people in the Movement are more and more taking up the challenge, the invitation of Jesus and Mary to spread this Movement throughout the world. They have chosen the Shepherds of Christ Movement as a great instrument to help bring about the Fatima message. How privileged we are to be part of it, to be called to it. I believe, I’ve told you this before, at least some of you have heard me, I think this Movement is one of the greatest in the history of the Church. And I think history itself will bear that out. So how precious a gift each of us has been given by Our Lord in calling us to be members of this Movement.

    Therefore, a very important aspect of our consecration to Their Hearts is to be apostles, to help spread all the ministries. Another aspect of our consecration is the idea of union. I think we’re all very well aware how the consecration unites us to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and through Them to the Father and the Holy Spirit. But perhaps we don’t think often enough of that how it unites us with one another, in the Movement, in the Church, throughout the whole world. You cannot grow in union with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, without growing in union with all your neighbors. And this is the tough part. It’s relatively easy to love Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, isn’t it? Three Persons in One God infinitely perfect and Mary a human person, perfect, free from all sin. It’s easy to love the Triune Persons and Mary, relatively speaking. But it’s not all that easy to love each other all the time, isn’t it? And yet that’s what Jesus calls us to. Jesus literally died for each and every person. And no matter how unattractive a person is in their behavior, Jesus still died for that person. If He loved that person enough to die for that person, then certainly we have to love them, him or her, and especially within the Movement. Satan is violently attacking us, he will always try to cause division in the Movement. But if we are going to be examples - and we are called to that, to be examples to the whole Church and the whole world of what it’s going to be like in the new era, when we all exist in such great loving union with each other in Christ. We are the forerunners of that. We’re helping to prepare the way for that for the whole Church, for the whole world. Not only us, but we have been given a special mission for that. So we have to be united in love with each other, if we have differences, we work them out in love and in peace. We work them out in love and in peace. In one of the Blue Books, Jesus says, "The glass is either half-empty or it’s half-full." I look at my neighbor, whether he or she is in the Movement or outside of it. I can either look at the half-empty part of the glass or the half-full part. I can either look at that person’s faults and concentrate on them, or I can concentrate on the great goodness which is inherently theirs. If they are in the state of sanctifying grace, their soul is magnificently beautiful, despite the blemishes of their failings of their sins. When I look at a person, do I look at the half-empty part or the half-full part?

    Everyday I ask you to pray for a growing unity in the Movement. What Our Lord has allowed us to accomplish so far in less than three years is just miraculous, I think it’s just miraculous. The sign becomes ever and ever greater that He started this Movement, not me. I was just the instrument which He chose to head it up. He has given me so many beautiful people to help me do the Movement and that includes all of you. He has given you so many beautiful companions in the Movement. Let us concentrate on that part of it. This is the only way we’re going to be models to the rest of the Church and the world, of the profound union that Our Lord calls us to, not only with Himself, but with each other.

    Strength for all this, day after day, it’s not easy to live this way, is it? But as I said in my homily, the great strength we have for that is the Eucharist. The power of the Eucharist is much greater than your faults or my faults or the faults of others in the Movement that surround you, or the faults of others in your parish, or the rest of the Church and the world. He can give you the strength to arise above your own faults and the faults of others around you, and march forward in the most positive way towards this great new era. Oh what a gift the Eucharist is.

    St. Julian Eymard, the founder of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers, who gave us such beautiful writings on the Eucharist, in one of his writings on the Eucharist he says:

    "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 cripple the effects of His love. This world engrosses the attention of souls; it finds and enslaves them with external occupations in order to deter 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." (That is if we give in to Jesus’ desire to possess us in the Eucharist.) "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." ¹

¹St. Peter Eymard, "The Most Blessed Sacrament Is Not Loved!," as in The Treasury of Catholic Wisdom, Fr. John Hardon, S.J., ed.; Ignatius Press, p. 384.

    Union amongst ourselves through our union with Jesus and Mary and Father and Holy Spirit. Each of you is so precious to Jesus. He has given each of you a very, very, very special gift, precious gift, in calling you to be involved in this Movement. Very early on in the Movement, it was July 31st of 1994, on the Feast of St. Ignatius, He often gives me very important messages on key feasts, and the Feast of St. Ignatius is a feast for Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. And He told me in that message that He would give great, great, great graces to those who join the Movement, and hope I’m sure, all of you who have been in the Movement have experienced those great graces. In appreciation for the great graces Jesus has given you in the Movement, I ask you, with great joy and a great sense of responsibility and a great sense of privilege, to do what you can to implement the ministries of the Movement. No one else can do your role, can carry out your part. You are preciously unique, no one exists like you now, no one ever has, no one ever will. It’s you alone who can give Jesus the opportunity to do what He wants through your humanity to help spread the Movement. To the extent that you answer Jesus and give yourselves to Him, and work as time and energy permits, as your other duties permit to help spread the ministries, to that extent you give Him an opportunity which no one else can give Him, and to the extent that you hold back, to this extent He loses this opportunity which no one else can give Him.

    A precious Savior who has done so much to each of us. Certainly He deserves our full loving response. As I kneel before the crucifix each day, either before a actual crucifix or one in my mind, let us ask ourselves those questions posed to us by Ignatius Loyola, "What have I done for Christ?" "What am I now doing for Christ?" "What ought I to do for Christ?"

A message from Jesus the day before the hurricane hit New Orleans

One day before the hurricane
   

From August 28, 2005 at 10:00 a.m.

Messenger:    The Titanic the "unsinkable ship"

                        Do we look at our lives like this
                            sometimes?

                        Jesus used the Ark with Noah
                            The Ark saved Noah, his family
                                and the animals.

                        Is our Church the Ark?

                            See the pillars
                            The Eucharist
                            The Virgin Mary
                            The pope is at the helm of
                                the ark.

August 28, 2005 message continues

Messenger:          Beneath the sea is life even though
                        we may be unaware of it.

                            Above the clouds there may be
                        stars we do not see.

                            Beneath our skin is a beautiful
                        network of things which function
                        that keeps us alive — yet we do not
                        see our heart beat, a woman does
                        not see the egg inside that may someday
                        be a beautiful human being.

                            Mystery is all around us, but we
                        could see matter and know it is true —
                        the stars are, the fish are creatures of
                        the sea, the egg real inside the woman
                        that can become her baby some day.

                            We are so pompous, Jesus says, and
                        prideful in our ignorant ways acting
                        like we know everything.

Jesus speaks:

                            A man working on the tiniest pieces
                        of a model ship, put in each piece with such
                        precision, carefully laying one in its proper
                        order next to the other, one morning after years
                        of work on a particular model an earthquake
                        occurred and his little ship was wrecked
                        as he worked in his hands.

                            My people I watch you build your fancy
                        jacuzzis and put in all the "jets" and
                        decorations of the most magnificent baths,
                        fancy windows in southern Florida so
                        very much money above and below the sea,
                        yachts and all your boats and homes.
                        The time is spent in pleasure and game,
                        sports —

                            I sent your Mother to you in the sunny
                        state of Florida, she appeared Our Lady
                        clothed with the sun, Mary of Miracles.
                        As she appeared the Pope declared the
                        mysteries of light. Mother of Miracles —
                        I give you My site in Florida, My waters
                        of miracles, My Jesus water and Mary
                        water. Many are being healed from
                        My water I give you — cancer no more.

                        Recognize the source.

                        My Mother appeared to tell you
                        of My Movement Shepherds of Christ
                        and the Plan of the Father to help in
                        the renewal of the Church and the
                        world.

                            Now look at the Bosco Vision

August 28, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:  Ignore Me no longer.
                        Your boats can be remnants under the sea.
                        Even your little model ships can be shipwrecked
                        on your dining room table —

                        You see with the eyes of men and when I
                            impart My wisdom to you — you
                            hold onto your model ships, your
                            country clubs, golf clubs, tennis
                            matches and ignore the Lady of
                            Fatima in the Americas.

                        I have given My writings to you for over
                            a decade and My Movement was
                            formed with every detail long before
                            Fr. Carter's death.

                        Your priests are dwindling as I speak —
                            all gray haired, what are you
                            leaving the babies.

                            You who had churches on every corner
                        and locked up the tabernacle, ignored
                        My Blue Book letters of love.

                            Let Me out I call you before it is
                        too late — oh you say — we must lock the
                        church — you can have two people
                        doing adoration twenty-four hours a
                        day and keep the churches open.

                            You are at war and satan has staged
                        an attack to shipwreck many churches —
                        When Mary's head was knocked off there
                        was a night-watch for almost one year
                        to protect My face.

                            Your churches are closing, your priests
                        are dwindling, all gray haired and you
                        instead of listening to Me 11 years ago
                        through Fr. Carter and My messenger, close
                        the churches and the seminaries and
                        priest houses are dwindling (where there
                        are several priests living in community
                        and having a tabernacle) have barely
                        none before the Blessed Sacrament.

                            A clock is set at night and a person
                        wishes to wake in the morning. All
                        night the clock may tick and tick
                        silently, even though the one sleeping
                        does not hear it, but at day break the
                        alarm sounds and the buzzer goes off.

                            The hearts of old priests are ticking —
                        as they are forced at a late age to cover
                        three to five parishes and the stress
                        of the people, some irate to lose
                        their own priests — more churches will
                        close and more tickers in old priests
                        will sound an alarm and hopefully
                        move on to their eternal reward in
                        heaven.

Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 1998 - ISSUE FOUR

    Shortly before he was to die from cancer, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin left us these inspiring words about peace: "It is the first day of November, and fall is giving way to winter. Soon the trees will lose the vibrant colors of their leaves and snow will cover the ground. The earth will shut down, and people will race to and from their destinations bundled up for warmth. Chicago winters are harsh. It is a time of dying.

    "But we know that spring will soon come with all its new life and wonder.

    "It is quite clear that I will not be alive in the spring. But I will soon experience new life in a different way...

    "What I would like to leave behind is a simple prayer that each of you may find what I have found—God's special gift to us all: the gift of peace. When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is non-essential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us. And we become instruments in the hands of the Lord."³

Jesus speaks:  More and more priests are dying young.
                        Do you see or have you missed the
                        stars behind the clouds and the fish in
                        the sea?

                            God the Father allowed Mary to appear
                        for a decade at the end of the second
                        millennium and into the 21 century and
                        you stopped her visits by shooting off
                        her head and you ignored the clock
                        ticking.

                            No fancy baths in the richest condo
                        in sunny Florida can bring you the
                        Eucharist. These are not the issues, the
                        wealth and the enjoyment, it is that
                        you are a sleeping city and you have
                        ignored the message of
                        Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas.

                        I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and I call
                        a code red.

                        Mary has appeared to you for over a decade
                            and you ignored her.
                            On July 5, 1994 Mary began her
                                daily visits as you see in the
                                Red Rosary Book — because of
                                people the visits of Mary was
                                halted 14 months later on
                                September 11, 1995 when My messenger
                                was told to quit delivering messages
                                at the Holy Spirit Center from Mary — (an old seminary)
                                she was only permitted to say
                                Our Fathers, Hail Marys etc. —
                                "good old familiar prayers"

                        On December 17, 1996, Mary appeared in
                            Clearwater, The Lady Clothed with
                            the Sun, Our Lady of Fatima in the
                            Americas. She appeared for 7½ years —
                            acid was thrown on her face —
                            her image head shot off with a sling shot.

                        This is the image sent by God the Father to
                            deliver the message of My Movement
                            Shepherds of Christ to help bring to completion
                            the mission Mary began at Fatima at the
                            beginning of the century.

                        In 1912 the "strongest" vessel, the Titanic
                            sunk and more than 1500 passengers
                            were killed.

Jesus speaks:  You do not get it yet —

                        The clock is ticking and I have given
                            messages at the end of this century
                            for the world in My Blue Books and
                            Daily Messages.

                        Satan will try to drive you into the
                            ground and people do not see
                            that closing your churches so
                            people can not do adoration is
                            like leaving your arms behind
                            when going into battle.

      

Your Bridegroom Waits for You (excerpt) - February 11, 1994 4:00 a.m.

Jesus:  ...Oh, My sweet ones, My chosen ones, I wait for you with My love in the tabernacle. I wait for you with your arms for this cold world. Your arms in this cold war are your hearts filled with My love. You cannot be My soldiers of love in this world if you do not first seek your union with Me. It is in the silence before the tabernacle that I minister to you. Come and do not be busy. Let Me fill you with My love...

My Heart is on fire with love of you. I give this to you in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle. I am there, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Come and get your arms, get your supplies. You are going into battle in this world. You are battling evil and hate. You need your ammunition and it is found in Me. Come and I will give you your arms--My love.

Oh, how I love you. I ache in My heart for your love. You do not know how I ache to behold each of you. Please come. It is in the greatest love that I am locked up in the tabernacle. Come, please, I beg you. I love you. I want you to come. I am Jesus, Son of God and I am waiting for you this very day.

Come to Me and I will give you all you need. I love you. Jesus.

Angels Will Read the Message

December 20, 1993 - 2:40 a.m.

Jesus speaks: Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.

I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?

Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!

What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!

I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.

Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!

Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?

Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul.

I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.

America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.

Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much.

My gift to My people is My love this Christmas. I am showering all at this Center with grace this season. The devotion there pleases Me, but more must flock and they will be changed from hardened hearts to hearts for God. I am God, little ones. I came and I died a brutal death. I am calling to you all to deliver this now. Make this your top priority so they will hear My message of love and know the love I have for them. Do not tarry. Do this today, little ones.

August 13, 2005 Retreat

Messenger:  I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 

    Today is the day that we end the retreat. We've been down here praying for 4 days, this is the 4th day. And we really did pray all day. My mom wasn't doing good but Doris stayed up there and I think she gave her lots of fluid maybe that helped her come out of the woods. So I mean she was bad when I came down here - Tuesday night she was in the hospital. I thought, oh God, she's going to die. But I knew Jesus was telling me to pray so I came down here and Doris went to the nursing home. They released her and she was in there and fed her lots of water. She's 95. And it's my step-mom but you still don't want her to go. You know how that is?

    I just kept trusting more and more in God and she's doing real good. Right Doris? John went up there with me Tuesday night and he held one of her hands and she couldn't talk. I guess she was dehydrated but they said she also had pneumonia and a bladder inflection. But she acted different after she just got fluid in her. So John held one of her hands and she couldn't talk or nothing but she indicated to him that she wanted both of his hands. So he held both of her hands all night and he said it was like the Blessed Mother. And I think that made the difference. John and I just kept praying and praying and I felt when I left, they left her go back to the nursing home about midnight and then I felt that if she didn't get the fluid the next day she would just be dead. Then Doris went down and fed her lots of fluid. She's been by her side all week so I could stay down here. 

    And I can successfully say that this is one of the best retreats. We were really close like in a bubble in here praising God and loving God and praying for the whole world and for our priests. And I felt a deep, deep, deep presence of God with us. So today to end this special days of prayer I want to invite you to think about your vocation in the Shepherds of Christ. I never know what's going to happen to myself. 

    Last month I got up here, and I was only going to come up here and tell you about the video. I got up here to tell you about the Mass, the next thing I knew Our Lord just took over. And I could feel myself, when I gave that talk last month, when I was up here in the corner - He was talking through me and I mean, at times inside myself I'm saying "wow", but the words are just coming like this and even the hand movements. You know if you were a sane person you wouldn't be doing what I was doing up here when I was giving that talk last month. 

    But God really directed that talk and Doris transcribed that for us. And when you look at the talk of last month, which I hope you will have a copy by the time you leave. We sent some people disc, we tried to send every body that was here a disc of that. I mean if that didn't happen for you, we can make you a copy if we have it with us or if somebody has a copy. We can make like ten of them in 5 minutes or something. But we also had a DVD of it but Emily had to take the voice off of the tape - she assured me that my hand motions were in sync with my voice cause it wouldn't make any sense if I was going like this when I was saying something else. But she told me they were in sync and I looked at it myself and it looked like it just could have been a hair off but I wasn't sure. But I thought that you should have the whole effect of what went on here last month. 

    What went on here last month was what I call a ball of fire message. That message was so powerfully delivered and it had a lot of meat to it that you could outline it and see just what He was saying. I just went up here to tell you about the video and the next thing I knew -- but there was really a lot to that message and if you were here you know what I'm talking about. That was just a very important message. It's experiences like that and messages that I get from Our Lord that make me almost cry after communion because I feel sorrow because of the old priests. There's mostly old priests and then there's so few young priests. And yet there's joy in the talk that I am giving right now in the fact that God has chosen me and you to be Shepherds of Christ. And what does that mean? 

    Well, there's two things that He said are most important in the Shepherds of Christ, And we don't always see with the vision of God but I know what He has imparted to me. The number one function of the Shepherds of Christ is the Priestly Newsletter. Now to us it may look like one newsletter is going out and a second newsletter and it's not too important, but to God it's the Don Bosco vision. 

    He made these points in that talk that I gave last month. That the priest shortage could be alleviated first if every priest would say the Mass every day like they should and not skip Mass. That was one thing that's real important, that all the Masses that can be said are out there, that they're not taking a vacation for a week and not saying Mass. There's so much grace that comes out of one Mass and that's why another message that I got said why evil is running rampant because there's fewer and fewer Masses. When I was a kid there was like 3 Masses up at my parish every day. There's a tremendous amount of grace that is released from the Mass being celebrated and we as members of the body of Christ are united to all those Masses going on. 

    That's why it's important that being called to the Shepherds of Christ, we are called as intercessors to lead our lives as an offering praying for the priests, the Church and the world. Yesterday I just had such a realization how God has called us to be these intercessors. And in order to be deep intercessors, whether we're praying or offering our lives as a sacrifice, in order to be these deep intercessors, He has taught us how to do that. 

    From the 13ths that I did in this church in 1997 when I would be up here and Jesus would give us messages during the rosary that would tell us how to be united to the Mass, how to give our hearts to Jesus and Mary. All of that was His teaching over this course of how many years since we've had the 13ths. The teaching from Jesus to be ever more holy, which makes us a better intercessor and to be able to live this vocation He has given to us as Shepherds of Christ, which is the giving of our lives in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that sacrifice or offering for the priests, the Church and the world. 

    You know somebody else doesn't understand how you think. You think like this. You read the Blue Books, you read the Apostles Manual, you been to the 13ths -- you're aware of that Mass going on around the world all day. And some priest has said, "Well you people pray too much." This is our vocation. Our vocation is at every moment that we live an offering of ourselves as Shepherds of Christ. If I'm at work or wherever I am, doing God's will in love is the offering, that's not that we are down on our knees all day praying. And so Betty stays here and prays and Sophie prays at Morrow - that's their vocation. Our vocation is to live the way that God has intended us to. 

    I ate cake on my birthday, I knew that was God's will, I loved it. And my grandkids made it, so I ate most of the cake. I don't know if that was God's will. I know it was God's will to eat some. But anyway, isn't that great? That I can bring down grace for the world eating cake on my birthday. I did it in love. I was doing God's will in love, so I should have got a lot of grace for the Shepherds of Christ. 

    But that's what we are to be doing - we are to be doing whatever it is that God has asked us to do, growing in greater holiness in love of Him and love of one another. So today we're going to have about maybe 10 Blue Books -- Blue Book IV -- but it's been on the internet. And we've been working on this Blue Book for like 3 months because when we put out a publication everything has to be perfect. On the Blue Book IV, it's really important. The Blue Book I  has messages from Jesus, Blue Book II - messages from Jesus, Blue Book III  has messages from Jesus, Blue Book IV was when Mary started appearing to me. 

    While I did Blue Book IV, Fr. Carter wrote the first newsletter. Fr. Carter compiled the prayers for the prayer manual, Fr. Carter wrote the Spirituality Handbook, Fr. Carter did the Tell My People book all in that summer and Mary appeared to me every day. Now do you think that that's a time of history when God was giving to us great grace to follow this mission, to be able to take this mission and to put it into practice. 

    When he died it was all in place, right? We basically have not changed. We have gotten the Jesus' water. That's what somebody reminded me once when I said that, Mary's head got knocked off. But when he died every thing else was like put in place. So the gifts that God has given to us is in our vocation, in our realization of what it is to be more deeply united and to live this life as an intercessor in the Shepherds of Christ. 

    So the number one function is the newsletter and it's up to all of us to pray for that newsletter. Now why? Okay. In the talk last month it was very defined.  1) Was that the priest should say the Mass every day.  2) Was that they need to spend an hour before the Blessed Sacrament.  3) Was to have these prayer chapters that we have in the prayer manual centered in the consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the  4) Was their union with Mary. 

    The newsletter is what Jesus said in one of the messages - it's like the Don Bosco vision. You've probably all seen the Don Bosco vision. So there's the arc, and then there's the pope, there's the Eucharist, there's Mary. 

    What did God the Father and Jesus say is going to make the difference to help alleviate the shortage of priests? It's the hour before the tabernacle. It's the Eucharist. It's Mary. It's consecration. It's the Mass. So in sending the newsletter on Mary and the Eucharist to the 72,000 priests, consistently through the talk, Jesus as He delivered that message to me kept telling the people that were in the church how this is a summit newsletter. 

    In the words of the late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, he delivers a succinct message in his writings about Mary and the Eucharist and the rosary and the selections that Fr. Bonacci chose. And we sent it out to 72,000 priests and some bishop the other day just sent us a piece of paper with 3 columns of priests names that he wants to get the newsletter. What I'm noticing from what we're getting back from the bishops and the cardinals is that they're asking, more than ever before, for additional copies. We had 85,000 printed, we sent out 75,000. We have 10,000 left. We've given some of them like on the 13ths, some down in Florida. 

    But the thing of it is, is that is really wonderful that these bishops are saying, you know, we like this so much send us all these copies. You know I was praying and I just want to cry after communion because I feel sorrow. I want to do something for the babies that aren't even born and are not going to have the availability of the priests. And the thing of it is, is we don't have to look too far, I mean even my brother, they gave him another church down town. 

    And you know, I know I went to West Virginia, they closed two and they got 3 churches and 1 priest and they're all mad, cause they had a priest. Get down on your knees and beg God to help us. Getting mad at the priest ain't going to do any good, you lucky you got one in 3 parishes. So I remember I went to that West Virginia parish and he was just like sweating. The people were like mean and you know, I thought, oh man, you know. 

    But the thing of it is, is what we have to pray for are for all the needs of the priests, the priests that are elderly and maybe are getting stuck with 3 parishes, not being stuck. I don't mean to say it like it's a bad thing, but it can be a cross. But this is what I do, I come to this conclusion, first of all, I realized because Our Lord said how important the newsletter is. I realized that my own answers are there if I just listen to God, the next newsletter cause we keep praying for Fr. Bonacci, so you got to pray. I mean all day what do you do? Well, I'm not telling you all day to sit and pray. But a lot of us pray every hour or if I can't pray every hour then I'm doing my work, but then if I'm in the car or Emily or Joe or I are going down to Florida we're going to pray every half hour if we can while we are doing some work. And it works. I mean we don't have money and then we start our prayers, oh boy what are we going to do, we really got to pray, that's what we do. 

    This Movement is being run by God. God gives to us when we need it, but He demands our prayers. He has called us to be Shepherds of Christ. He's called us to be united as this members in the body of Christ praying in a special way for the priests, the Church and the world. It's our vocation. Somebody else may not have been given the grace that we've been given but you also have to see a plan of Jesus and Mary to lead the world into this deeper life of consecration and deeper bridal union with Christ through the training that we've been given. You've gotten trained if you read the daily message, if you live by the Blue Books, if you come on the 13ths, if you just follow this plan. Kids go to school to be brain surgeons, they have to learn a lot of stuff. 

    I just thought of this song, I probably shouldn't do it in here. That's where temptation gets me, I hear something funny and then I have to restrain myself. About the kids that go to school and learn a lot junk and then they flunked. But that's what happens with the kids that go. My daughter's a doctor and she went to school a lot of years. 

    Jesus has had us in school for a lot of years, do you know that. Why did He have us in school for a lot of years? To be intercessors. Because what is the purpose of the Shepherds of Christ Movement if it isn't the Priestly Newsletter - A Number 1 and A Number 2 prayer for the priests, the Church and the world. And the prayer is not only the prayer manuals. The prayer is the way of life, the connection to the Mass all through the day, realizing that our lives given in the Morning Offering, united to the Mass can help to bring down great grace. We are really intercessors. 

    We are Shepherds of Christ praying for our priests shepherds and it's a great calling that God has given to us and in giving it to us -- the saints weren't the same as some of the people. They knew God very intimately and a lot of those saints just lived their lives for souls because they knew the reality of how important their individual life lived in a special way united to God can help bring down grace so that the world will be the way that God wants it to be so that the souls can be helped in going in the right direction to heaven. So to each one of you that here today I want to congratulate you because God has called each and every one of us to a very special vocation. And the vocation that He has called us to has led us to His own special training to be deep intercessors and to live in great intimacy with Him. 

    What are the Blue Books all about? As we worked on the Blue Books every day and night and day and night, Blue Book IV, more and more -- Fr. Bonacci's always talking about a teabag that seeps in hot water -- more and more, I became rooted in the letters of God about His love and the God that the world does not know is making Himself known in those letters. God is love. God is this personal with each and every one of us. God can feed the hungry soul. 

    This is the message that we have to deliver. When you know a person is ready for the Blue Book, and Jesus said now to give it to the priest, when you know a person is ready for a Blue Book, you are giving them the letter of God's love. This is what is missing out there. The realization of how true it is that God is on fire for love of us, like He speaks of in the 4th Blue Book. I mean I'm trying with all my heart to get it out there and it's on the daily writings. It's so beautiful. I mean I just get up and we keep checking it and checking it, Fr. Carter discerned most of it and we keep checking it and reading it and I can see my own life changing. I mean I'm really absorbed in it. 

    But I've decided instead of when I'm frustrated talking about people that I could express that emotion by going like this and at least I haven't said nothing nasty, of course everybody will think I'm nuts. So you are sitting there and you're thinking about who did this, -- oi oi oi -- and where you might have said something to somebody before, "you know what they did", then just lately I've just been deciding, well I'll just express it in my eyes because then I don't make any kind of noise that way, so you just sit there and go like this. Of course they will probably crate me away, especially my husband. What did you tell me - to take my spelt in a bottle. I can't remember how that came up. 

    I mean I got a lot to learn. The more we interact with each other which is what God wants. God. I can't do this work unless we are all working together. I mean I don't have the liberty to say well you know, "Well I'm going to do it myself" and then go sit over in the corner. If I decide to do that then all the writings and the experiences and those things are not going to get out there but the devil knows exactly the right button to push and I see it more and more. You know, you can be doing something and you're all ready to do and then somebody comes over and they say something and then you get mad and you think that's the end of that. Is that fair to do that to Jesus? 

    And then you realize really how you are being manipulated by the devil, all he has to do is come up and get you flustered, boy and you're out of there. And when you're out there you say, "But I really wanted to do that", then why did you go, you know. I mean he can just manipulate us and we can give in. 

    That's why the Divine Mercy that's on that tape is so important. We did it in church about two days ago. It has all those things that we need to pray for on it. Do you like the picture of all of us that did it? That's why I said, "Jesus told me to put all of our heads up there" I guess you get a laugh before you look at it. She did it the way I saw it. Well then somebody said "Look at Jesus' face, looking at us." He's having mercy on us I hope because we need lots of mercy. Did everybody get a Divine Mercy? Oh Sr. Rita didn't get a Divine Mercy. -- Oh they are still working on it. Well when you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about. But you know at the centers, everyday we are going to play the Divine Mercy because it has the very things we have to pray for. 

    I am filled to the brim with the realization that this is God's Movement and the only way it's going to work is if we all keep praying. It depends on your prayers, it depends on us being united, it depends on us having faith. It depends on us living like the people God is talking about in the 4th Blue Book. And how is God talking about living in the 4th Blue Book? One is a realization how deeply God loves us because He says it over and over and over again in the 4th Blue Book, "I love you, I love you, I love you."

    And you get out of bed in the morning and you think, oh boy, I got gray hairs and I'm fat. When I am doing this Blue Book, more and more I get up and I think of those messages that God has given. And I think of how many times He said in them, "I love you, I love you" -- this is how God is. This is what the world needs. This is what the world is hungering for, and then you get up and from doing those messages, I start to get a burning in my heart to realize that the Divine God is real and He is love and this is how He is. 

    In all the pictures that are out there that are talking about love or the evil in the world is not what it's all about. It's about Jesus hanging on the cross, the Son of God, who gave Himself, so that we would have life eternal. And we who He has called as Shepherds of Christ can identify with Him more every minute because of the gifts that He has given to us to realize how much we love souls. I can say I love souls. I can cry in a second. 

    I remember reading a book a long time ago when I was young. And it was a paragraph out of Sr. Faustina and she just loved the souls and I thought "Oh boy" and I have read very, very, very little, but I can honestly say from the gifts that God has given to me in this Movement, that I love the souls. I can identify more deeply with Him and that giving of my life for the sake of souls.

    I remember in 1995 getting a message that said, "I will give you gifts greater than I have given to the greatest saints." It's there, just read the 4th Blue Book. Are we not recognizing the fact that God continuously tells us how much He loves us? 

    You know sometimes we just create our own problems. We give into our feelings. We start to feel irritated, that's another thing, the devil can just come and he can press on your feelings or give you an old memory. I mean it's like an old memory comes up and I'm sick of that too. Cause you get an old memory and you can be mad at somebody for two weeks. It's that stupid? And then I think, "Well you really wanted to go out with him and laugh." So then you just got to say, "Well there's some days I don't feel good and then they didn't feel good today and then they just didn't even think when they were saying that, but anyway I want to have fun." 

    I don't want to live by satan's old traps and that's just what they are. Did you ever see a bear go through the woods and somebody's got a trap there? I never saw one, but I hope that this makes sense. But anyway so the bear walks right into the trap and he can't get out or any trapped animal if there's not traps big enough for bears. I don't have any idea because I'm not a hunter. But the imagery in there of the trap and an animal that's going dee da dee da dee da dee da dee and then all of a sudden -- plut! -- and then they're just stuck. 

    It's like us. Have you been there? Have you been in church and you are so close to God and you are feeling real good and you can stay there and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray with all of your soul for grace to be released, and you're really enjoying those favors of God and then all of a sudden you're going dee da dee da dee da dee and then the trap - plut!  And then the rest of the Mass you're mad. How can you be mad or whatever? I'm sure I'm not the only person that is doing this. 

    I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it - because the devil is real and the devil talks in our heads like a little radio. But God has given us the grace to discipline our wills. And when you get out of bed in the morning use the Blue Books, use the Blue Books before you go to bed, listen to how God is speaking, that He loves us so much and let's quit giving into the devil. We have to get along to do this work. 

    If I have to get along with everybody to get the Blue Books out there, and you don't know what I have to get along with, I'm only kidding. I have such support that its -- God has blessed us all in the people that He's brought in the Movement. But if we have to get along with each other to help the souls -- what are we living for? And that's how the devil works, the devil comes in and you really got an agenda, you got an agenda that you know God has given you to do and then all of a sudden, one little thing goes wrong and the devil loves to make the people feel like they got to flee, I mean leave, by exerting pressure. 

    When Jesus gave me all the messages in the Blue Book and He talked about the devil and the pressure of the devil, I didn't have any idea what that was about. I remember Sr. Rita told me that once, she said that the devil works in secret. I didn't know that. I didn't know what I know today. Priests and people in the world don't know the things that God has told us in the messages to unveil the working of satan. And yet it's like when I got the first Blue Book and all the turmoil in my life, suffering - before I got the first Blue Book, before I got the first messages in 91. 

    And then it was like so simple when He comes up and He says I have all the power and nobody can have power over you and don't be afraid, and all the things that He for six months told me how fearful I was. I never even knew I was fearful. But when you look at your parents or other people that are around you, if they think that way, you can pick those things up. We've got Jesus holding our hand today that's saying to us, "I am here, I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. I have given to you My letters of love and they are real." If the Church or the people in the church do not want to read the Blue Book messages, they are missing the gift that God has given. 

    But to you as a main person in the Shepherds of Christ He has called us to be likened to saints, to be deeper in our holiness, to be greater intercessors, to live a greater life of purity and to live a life of joy. Because to know Jesus is joy. And what's going to happen more and more as the Masses decrease, there's going to be less and less grace that is released and Jesus said the evil will run rampant. But He has given us the answer. 

    He said the priests all need to say their Mass every day, they need to do their hour before the Blessed Sacrament. Where we may have held back before giving the priest the Blue Book, give him the Blue Book II, tell him about the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, do all that you can to encourage priests to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament -- fight for that time. We don't want our churches locked. Isn't that awful? On Sunday all the churches are locked. What are they - afraid that somebody's going to go in there and steal a candlestick? I mean God is in there! Let's lock Him up because you might lose a $200 candlestick. 

    We need to have the vision that God has given to us in this Movement. We need to grow in greater holiness. We need to learn what the Our Father says - the whole Our Father -- "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name" - love His name for all the people that use it so dishonorable and they do it ignorantly. That's where the thing is at, we don't have to worry about what their sins are -- all we have to do is try to love God the way He deserves, to love the Our Father more -- "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come" our lives are lived to help build the kingdom of God, "thy will be done" what a prayer, God -- "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread" -- what a gift -- "forgive us our trespasses" this is the hard part "as we forgive those who trespass against us" 

    Now how can we say five rosaries a day and then while you're sitting there saying your rosary -- oi oi oi -- and somebody comes out and says something and makes you mad and then you decide the rest of the day you aren't going to do what you suppose to do. Do we want to do that to Jesus? 

    The devil plays us like a little violin and all day if we play this negative tapes in our mind, "you're fat, you're ugly" - my fat ones are mine, those are the ones that I hear. If we play the negative tapes all day, it's like having the meanest friend on your shoulder hollering mean stuff at your head all day. Well you'd take him and knock him off, wouldn't you? 

    But we let him say stuff to us and then at the end of the day we put our head on the pillow and where we could have shared love if we would have disciplined our will and begged for the grace to grow in greater holiness, we missed those moments of interaction with people that we love because of habits. Because of ways of acting that are really just not going to bring us happiness. And so there is not one of us in this church that can not realize that we're just plain old all imperfect. I don't know if I said that right, but the bottom line is, I'll say it straight on -- We're just all imperfect -- everyone of us is just imperfect. 

    And we have to think about the words that Jesus gave to us in the Our Father -- "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" -- we have to control our wills. I'm telling you from messages from God that the devil is going to run more and more rampant and you can't sit around all day angry every time somebody does something or we're just playing into him. 

    God has called you to be a Shepherd of Christ, to be strong, to lead the strayed ones home to His Heart and to be with Him for all eternity, to help in this special mission -- in dealing with the priest shortage and the renewal of the Church and the world. You know I just watched the priests get more and more discredited by stuff, that's what satan just attacks authority. The Church is a special bulwark - a defender - a strong pillar -- 

    The Church is the bride of Jesus Christ and He loves her and how can we not love her when we have been given such a gift in the Holy Eucharist and the Sacraments of Baptism, Confession and the other Sacraments. How can we not love the Church when God has given to us the priest who can bring this to us. Now just let's all stop and think a minute -- so this is like a game of risk, except it's real. And God wants the souls to go to eternal life and the devil is the other side and he wants them to go to hell for all eternity. 

    Now if you were the devil where would you start? Wouldn't you start on those priests? They're bringing you the Divine God truly present in which this major source of grace flows because He's truly present in His Divinity and Humanity. So every bit of work that you do, you know you're at warfare. And that's O.K. because the gift of that is that very thing that's leading us to greater holiness, that's leading us to see where we never would have seen before because I'm just going to stand out there and be by myself and if you tick me off then I'm just going to go do it by myself. 

    But I'm not going to do it by myself, I learned that when I did the Red Rosary Book and He's been teaching me that every day. Now if you like the things that Jesus has given to you, you know that it came through a learning process, in my own life to work together, times when I may have felt like spending time in front of the tabernacle. If He's calling me to do this, I may only have 5 years left, I have all these Blue Books there. What should I do? I should find Christ in My brother and that is what He says in the Blue Book, look into his face and grow together the way God intends us to. We will be as God wants the Church to be - this body united. 

    The world, if they got a problem, gets a divorce. I don't know what the priest said yesterday. I thought he said like 3/4 of the people get divorced. People don't grow in that deep intimacy with one another and work on their differences. It's just too easy. If some people stay married, he goes his way, she goes their way. But together a husband and wife is a special gift, that they can pray deeply, especially if you're both in the Shepherds of Christ. I mean we need that. The devil is a devil - I have that to say. 

    And in the messages that God has given, not the messages yesterday and the day before, but the daily messages all the way back and then Blue Books all the way back, He is unveiling the workings of satan in our lives so that we can grow to be more one cause the answer is that the Catholic Church is one, holy, catholic, apostolic -- one -- the family must be one. So why wouldn't the devil do that? 

    I mean just look at some war. So if you want this for your side then what are you going to do? Well the devil is just going to go right in there and try to take the priest out. And then if he can get the families divided, so you got divorced people, and people aren't with their kids on holidays and pain and sorrow and all that stuff. Kids not living with their parent and I mean that's the new thing - the other thing is the children. Before they're three years old they're going over the airport and they are seeing the whole wall full of nudes. I mean even in the grocery store. 

    Somebody was telling me yesterday about going to church. I know what goes on in church, some old guy like an old lady, like I am, but some old guy goes in there and then some seductive type looking woman just goes sits right in front of him. I mean isn't that awful? But they're ignorant. I don't think that it's animosity why they are doing it, they are just not aware. 

    But do you know in one second God can give such a grace as it says in the Bible that they can see with the light of seven suns. I'm telling you what we're doing is God's Movement, it's reaching the nursing home with the morning offering, all those people that are in there all day! All they got to do is say "I offer up everything I do in union with the Mass for the priest, the Church and the world." and a ton of grace can - and then tell them - your live is so important like it says on the Say Daily card. 

    The children - we got to reach the children in the school with the rosary. The rosary is a great gift but Our Lady appeared as Our Lady of Clearwater for 7½  years. We need to still circulate that image. Children like the story of Fatima. They do. My granddaughter when she was like 3 was loving that. They said every time she went to the grotto she'd get down on her knees. And I wasn't talking to her, my sister-in-law was taking care of her while my daughter was at work when she had to go.

    The suffering is in knowing what we know and knowing that we are entirely dependent upon God, that's suffering. The suffering is in sharing in Christ's passion as He hung on the cross, knowing the souls that would be lost forever, despite the blood He shed and His death.

    The rosary is such a gift and God has made us all very aware of those mysteries of the rosary. Where would you be without the mysteries of the rosary and the Mass in your mind? Wouldn't life almost seem to be lifeless? God has given us so many gifts. 

    Today we want to pray the Divine Mercy. Hopefully the way we did it on this disc we are going to give you. You'll see all of our heads and think we're nuts, but the prayers are good. So with all of our hearts let us join together, and please say yes, say yes to Jesus, yes to loving Him more, yes to loving yourself more because that's all He's telling us in those Blue Books. It's a love that no human person can give to us. It comes from the Divine God, a Divine Person on fire for love of you and me to the point where He gave Himself on the cross and remains with us truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Get the messages from Blue Book IV off the internet until we get it out. Read them and feel the love of Jesus penetrate your heart. 

    Beg for the grace to be enlightened about our own imperfections and to grow in greater holiness and in so doing that we will be helping all the souls of this earth and helping ourselves have a higher place in heaven for all eternity. God is love and He is teaching us about that in this Movement. You have been trained to love the Church, love the priest, love the souls, love Him, Mary, the angels and saints, and one another. For what is there to life if we follow the road of satan which is to lead to hatred forever. 

    We are the Shepherds of Christ on the front line of battle, fighting with all of our hearts filled with love, our arms are our hearts filled with love. That's not just love for God, that's saying you're sorry, that's building His Kingdom, that's working with each other, that's asking the Holy Spirit to come and enlighten us to see where we must grow, that's being in love with souls to the point that we want to change ourselves in greater purity, to pray more deeply and give our lives as an offering and looking at Christ on the cross and saying to Him "Jesus I give You myself totally and completely and I want to serve and love You, help me, show me Your way." Amen.

    There's two songs I want to do before the Divine Mercy. The one is - This is the Feast of Victory. Every time you come here Jesus is speaking to you and when we live a more pure life, when we grow in greater love of Him and others, it is a feast of Victory. And one day when we're all in heaven, we'll all be up there with our little red prayer manuals and we still won't know the prayers by heart. Oh this book don't have cords, I can't play out of that one. 

    We're going to try this again. This is the Feast of Victory. And when we pray the Divine Mercy I ask you to keep this with you, if you want more, we can give you another one or put it on a tape and just really keep the intentions in it in your heart. We also would like to give you a copy of that talk that I did last time. I have a hard copy and if you did not get a disc or you want a tape or a disc, we can mail it to you if we can't get it to you today. But it only takes a few minutes if we have one.

Song:  This is the Feast of Victory

Messenger:  And we want to do Change Our Hearts and we sing this song, we sing this song for the whole world, naturally for ourselves. Number 394 in the Gather.

Song:  Change Our Hearts

Messenger:  Does this sound like us?

Sing:  ... one foot in paradise, one in the waste

Song:  Change Our Hearts   -   Sing!

Messenger:  Sing for the whole world!

Sing:  Change Our Hearts -  refrain

Messenger:  We have to look at Fr. Carter and the fact that Fr. Carter planted all these seeds and we see that the fields are getting dryer and dryer and goldener and goldener and we're all getting a little older or grayer or toothless. That's bad. That's when I should have did my eyes.

    This is a song that Jesus wants us to sing and to think about our role in the Shepherds of Christ. For some day I will be gone and I hope that you, if you are still here, will carry out this mission for Jesus, not for me. That you will tell the world of His letters of love, that you will help the world to know what Jesus has told His priests in the newsletter, and help spread the prayer chapters and the rosary.

Song:  Come With Me Into the Fields

Messenger:  And Jesus cries to us to come into the fields and to plant the seeds. And He promises to us that He will provide the sunlight and the rain. But if we do not go into the field and plant the seed - how can it grow? 

    And we said this this morning, but in our lives we do want to watch where our things come from, our thoughts and things -- there's an evil spirit, a good spirit and some things come from our own minds. And praying to the Holy Spirit avidly and thinking about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will be more alive inside of us for He gives to us great grace. And we want the Holy Spirit giving us His ideas, His inspirations and not the evil spirit. So let's make a special pack that we are going to go from here and sing Come Holy Ghost and do the Holy Spirit prayers and really ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten us and help us to always be doing God's will in love. 

Song:  Lord Send Out Your Spirit   -   Sing!

Messenger:  Again!

Song:  Lord Send Out Your Spirit - refrain - instrumental

Messenger:  And now we sang to the Holy Spirit. And we love you God the Father and we love the name of God and we worship You, and we honor You, and we give You every bit of ourselves God and we sing Father Number 1.

Song:  Abba Father

Messenger:  Jerry will you fix that up there. This is a song that we sang long ago. And we sang to the Holy Spirit, we sang to the Father, we sang to Mary at Mass, and this is a song that involves the Spirit and also Jesus. And its a song that we use to sing a lot sometimes.

Song:  Spirit Song   -   Sing!

Messenger:  That's pretty hard, you know, that's easy to sing this. This is a good one.

Sing:  Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His Name

Messenger:  Yesterday we just had a little talk about how a lot of times we just kind of like have our own agenda and the example that He gave is this. If there is a guy that thinks that he has to eat a plum at 10:00 every day and he doesn't get to eat his plum, he can be nasty for an hour before anticipating whether somebody is going to interfere with his plum time and having gone through a trial and not being able to eat the plum at precisely 10:00 he may become snarly for a week but it interferes with the anticipation of the plum the next day but somehow he works it out. I don't know how he does it. 

    But that could be classified as having your own agenda. If we have an agenda, unless we have diabetes or something where we just have to have our plum at a certain time and if somebody interferes with it we get really nasty. We may be inordinately attached to the plum time and it may take a little bit of looking at ourselves to see that that's an inordinate attachment. An inordinate attachment is one in which we are attached in ways that are just not according to God's will.

Song:  Spirit Song

Messenger:  Should we sing that again.

Sing:  Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His Name

Song:  Spirit Song   -   Sing!

Jesus speaks:  To you I have given great instruction -- instruction to come ever closer to My Heart and to love Me ever deeper. Remember from this talk this day to pray the Our Father with all your heart, to mean every word. I am your beloved Jesus and I love you with undying love.

Sing:  Jesus, Oh Jesus Come and Fill Your Lambs, 
          Jesus, Oh Jesus Come and Fill Your Lambs

Messenger:  And we pray for all the needs of the Shepherds of Christ and Fr. Bonacci with the newsletter and all the priests that come to China here to help us. And Don and Donna and Tom and Melanie and all of you who have special health needs, we pray for all of you. And we hope that the Jesus water works a miracle in your lives. And there is a man that's getting operated on on Monday, I told him we would pray for him and another lady got operated on Thursday. We pray for all of our families and ask that the blood of Jesus will be spread on the whole Movement, the whole Church and the world, and anybody that touches the Movement and all the priests, consecrate all of our hearts, and all the people we've just prayed for, ourselves and our families, cast the devil far away and beg with all of our hearts for the coming of the Holy Spirit. 

    Dear God today we will do as You asked us to do which is to do the Divine Mercy and to give to the people the materials that you have asked them to take and to study, the songs which is the mission of the Shepherds of Christ - In My Heart that is song by Joe Lee. And the purpose of this is this is where the Church needs to go - to realize more and more the burning love in the Heart of Jesus, to dwell in His Heart, to live in His Heart, to be one with Him. As you listen to this song - it was one that we found on a tape in the basement that my daughter just sang like over in the corner. As you listen to it pray, it's so beautiful but pray in your heart as you listen - that the world will know the love of the Sacred Heart like that. And Jesus wanted Joe's picture on the front and the red to remind us all of what it is to go to His red, on fire Heart because He loves us so much. 

    There's a songs and message tape that Joe and I did that's really nice that has some messages from the 4th Blue Book, then 1995 a message from Mary, then 1996 the message - "I stood beneath the cross", but it's real beautiful with the Lady of Clearwater song on it - so that's the other tape. Then there's the Divine Mercy tape and then there's Joe just singing the Lady of Clearwater song if you want to listen to that sometimes. 

    And so today we are going to do the Divine Mercy and the reason Our Lord wants us to do this is to really pray deeply united. But you know we always need funds so we are praying real hard for the funds. We would like to have like an apostle trailer or something here so that some people could come down here and stay and pray. We need your help with the adoration. If you're around any time, I don't mean if you have to come far, but if you are in this vicinity and you can help us with the adoration we do need that. The prayer power is what does it. You know if you are further and you can't come here for adoration, you're an Apostle of the Eucharistic Heart, please really, really do that, cause we rely on your prayers, I mean we really do need you praying for us in front of the Blessed Sacrament. 

    And when you go to Mass giving your hearts to Jesus and Mary and just trying to be in that Mass as deep as you can. This Movement is only running on the prayer power and God answers us by our prayers, I'm telling you. So please just help us that way, whenever you're praying just try to pray real deep, tell satan to go get the heck out of here and just pray really, really hard. And pray for us. 

    And the benefits of praying those Shepherds of Christ prayers which do not take long every day are enormous. The promises are on the internet but we have copies of those if you want us to mail them to you. Glaci tells all the people on the phone, she answers the phone pretty much and she's great that way cause they call in and she says "Shepherds of Christ" and she kind of giggles, he-he-he -- and she starts telling them about all the ministries - so that's her function is to really tell people about that. Each and every one of you are vital to this mission and we need you. Please help us. You are a Shepherd of Christ when you get up in the morning, when you sleep you are still a shepherd of Christ. Amen.

Matthew 12: 38-42

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees spoke up. ‘Master,’ they said, ‘we should like to see a sign from you.’ He replied, ‘It is an evil and unfaithful generation that asks for a sign! The only sign it will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah remained in the belly of the sea-monster for three days and three nights, so will the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. On Judgement Day the men of Nineveh will appear against this generation and they will be its condemnation, because when Jonah preached they repented; and look, there is something greater than Jonah here. On Judgement Day the Queen of the South will appear against this generation and be its condemnation, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and look, there is something greater than Solomon here.

Mary speaks:  Listen to my Son Jesus

                            There are so many

                            of my children

                            that are being lost

                            forever.

    

 

Mary's Message

from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks: 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.
