September 2nd Holy Spirit Novena
Scripture selection is Day 4 Period II.The Novena Rosary Mysteries
for September 2nd are Luminous.
September 1, 2006 - For First Friday
Messenger: Is there anyway to express how it is to have
depth of knowing how God is truly present in
the Eucharist.
When the world is blind and in need of
God's grace and mercy and His healing, can we be
so ignorant ourselves to realize that the
power is in the Eucharist.
Because the Divine God is truly
present in His Divinity and humanity no
less present than the day He walked
the earth.
The Mass can be such a source for
healing this troubled earth if we as
members of the body of Christ united deeply
through consecration to the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary and oneness in the reception of the
Eucharist. Oneness united in the Morning
Offering to the Masses going on around the
world all through the day.
I talked to someone today and they kept
saying pray for the evil leaders and that is
true then they said
"Why pray for the priests, the Church,
they are okay"
Well Jesus told Fr. Carter when he
founded the Shepherds of Christ Movement and
told him the primary function is the
Priestly Newsletter centered in consecration
to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to begin
these prayer chapters praying for the priests,
the Church and the world.
September 1, 2006 message continues
Messenger: We need to pray for these things, Jesus
told Fr. Carter in another message
praying 2 hours a week before the Blessed
Sacrament
- 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.
- For the Pope.
- For all bishops of the world.
- For all priests.
- For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
- For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
- For all members of the Catholic Church.
- For all members of the human family.
- For all souls in purgatory.

Messenger: And we were able to acquire the building and
still have it today and Fr. Carter said Mass
there many times until his death.
Mary said at Fatima
"Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Maryuntil a sufficient number of people make and live the consecration, we will not have peace in the world."
Bishops need to consecrate their diocese
to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart she said.
Families need to consecrate themselves and
their families to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

Mary told us at Fatima
October 13, 1917
Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
October 13, 1917
In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:
I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)
NOTE:

Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN
Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). p.7.

"I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with
you in love."
Be aware of praying as a body!!
Be aware of how grace can flow from
the Mass.
Treasure the consecration
September 1, 2006 message continues
Messenger: Pray from the heart for tremendous
grace for the souls
Beg at the Lamb of God for mercy
Receive Jesus thank Him
talk to him
love Him
praise Him
beg for grace and light for
the souls of the earth.
4) Say the Shepherds of Christ Prayers
praying the litanies with love
honoring Mary in her titles,
Motherhood, Virginity, Queenship
Honoring the Sacred Heart in the Litany
loving the Trinity.
God remains truly present in the
Eucharist this day
How blind can we be that we don't
see the power in the Eucharist
1) receiving Jesus
2) sitting in His presence before
the exposed Eucharist and tabernacle.
GRACE IS outpoured when
we receive Jesus, truly present
in His Divinity and humanity and
also when we sit before the
Blessed Sacrament.
What is wrong with us that we wallow
in pain and our Churches are
empty where the consecrated host is?
We have fewer and fewer priests
Do we cherish this great gift
We should get on our knees and
thank God for the priest and
the Eucharist.
Before Mary appeared at Fatima (1917)
the angel of Portugal appeared
to the children 3 times 1916
here is what the message was
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
3.Our Ladys Peace Plan, op cit., p.2. (The words in brackets are my own-added for clarification).Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:
On reaching us, he said: Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.
Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground and made us repeat these words three times: My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.
Then, rising he said: Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.
His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them. 3
During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:
Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal. Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. 4
In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:
The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners. 5
Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:
Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:
Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God. 6

Messenger: How are we doing listening to this
message 90 years later
God loves us so much He remains with
us today
The power is in the Eucharist
The power is in loving God
Loving our priests
Praying for them
To answer the man from this morning
and I never got to
I wanted to say
God can outpour a grace that can
change the hearts in less than the
batting of an eye.
He is the Almighty God maker of the
universe and all of us
Did you ever have a problem and you
knew you could pray, but you
really thought you should figure
it out yourself so you mumbled
a little pray half-heartedly lacking
faith thinking it would even
help
Well guess what
God knows how much faith and
trust we have
He said if we had faith
We could move a mountain
Let's get down on our knees and
really pray with faith
for a world of peace and love and joy
Did you really think God would
give us this world, create us
in His image and likeness
send His Son after the fall
of Adam and Eve to redeem us
and then the story at the end of
God's bible will be a complete tragedy?
No way, many will be saved!!!!
We are dealing with God!!!!
Did you think that?
Souls will be lost,
but the victory has already been won
for those who love and serve the Lord
and keep His commands as He desires.
This is a message of hope.
We are dealing with God!
He is Almighty, all Powerful, the Creator.
Revelation 21: 1-10
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.

Mary said at Fatima
Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)
