Sirach 17: 1-15

  The Lord fashioned human beings from the earth, to consign them back to it. He gave them so many days and so much time, he gave them authority over everything on earth. He clothed them in strength, like himself, and made them in his own image. He filled all living things with dread of human beings, making them masters over beasts and birds. He made them a tongue, eyes and ears, and gave them a heart to think with. He filled them with knowledge and intelligence, and showed them what was good and what evil. He put his own light in their hearts to show them the magnificence of his works, so that they would praise his holy name as they told of his magnificent works. He set knowledge before them, he endowed them with the law of life. He established an eternal covenant with them, and revealed his judgements to them. Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard the glory of his voice. He said to them, ‘Beware of all wrong–doing’; he gave each a commandment concerning his neighbour.

The divine judge

Their ways are always under his eye, they cannot be hidden from his sight.

Mark 10: 13-16

People were bringing little children to him, for him to touch them. The disciples scolded them, but when Jesus saw this he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. In truth I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ Then he embraced them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.

Jesus speaks:    The world cries out in pain.

                         I have given you My Movement to help
                             the pain of My people.

                         I give you My Blue Book Messages
                             My messages of love.

                         My Blue Books will lead people to Me
                             in the Holy Eucharist.

                         The True Presence in the Eucharist
                             is being attacked.

                         I give you My Movement, the Apostles
                             of the Eucharistic Heart of
                             Jesus, to pray for My Beloved
                             Priests.

                         People need to live as Apostles of the
                             Eucharistic Heart.                        
                         here is My message I gave to Fr. Carter

March 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:    My beloved, a woman was a sister, a religious for
                             25 years on the 26th year—on the
                             anniversary of her entrance into the convent,
                             the Blessed Mother's birthday she
                             committed suicide.

                         When she cried out from the convent about
                             the problems they sent her to a
                             house for recovery and a hospital —
                             at the hospital large doses of
                             shock treatment were administered
                             to her brain.

                         My people, My priests and sisters are
                             crying out for My Blue Book
                             messages.

                         I have asked a Bishop to see to the translation of
                             My Blue Book II, I have asked
                             for the imprimatur, this was in 1995.

                         Your Church is bleeding and you ignore
                             our images on the building.

                         I cry bloody tears for those who are not
                             helped and bleeding because
                             you ignore Me.

                         These are My books and messages given
                             to help a sick world.

                         I send the mighty medicine.

                         I beg for funds and help with this mailing

                             to get My Prayer Manual & Spirituality
                             Handbook to My Priests.

                         My Mother appeared at the old seminary
                             over 500 times and we were ignored.

March 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:   My children were never reached with
                             the rosary meditations as I asked,
                             nor the consecration cards.

                         When Mary appeared on the window,
                             she was ignored —
                             for over 6 years she has been
                             ignored —

                         Here are My messages given to you
                         through My beloved holy Jesuit priest
                             Father Carter 

~ October 13, 1994 ~ 

    "I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:

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

March 1, 2003 message continues

Mary speaks:   Your children are bleeding.

                         Here is the Mighty Medicine for the
                             sick world.

Messenger:    This message is not to cause anybody any fear, 
                            but to realize Our Lord says this is very serious. 

                            It is not to cause fear.

Given March 28, 2000 after 6:20 prayers.

Messenger:  What our souls crave is Him.

We can look and search everywhere, even in doing work for Him, ultimately it is His presence we desire, it is Him, not a job, a girlfriend, TV, golf, food, money, a car, cruises and trips. What we seek is Him.

Jesus speaks:  On Tuesdays tremendous graces are giving for spiritual healing - tell all apostles not to miss Tuesdays for healing.

Grace is outpoured to you when you go to the tabernacle.

You cannot do this work without a daily dose of extra grace.

I give apostles the way of life so that tremendous grace will be released so they can endure the struggles with Satan.

Messenger:  I just want Him so much. I just long to be with Him before the tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  In the three days of darkness you will be connected to all your comrades in your hearts through consecration, through dwelling in Our Hearts.

You will pray, all day, while others will panic and fear and be at a point at which they cannot take it.

Mental torments are anguishing. Get the rosary in the hands of all. It is a comfort.

Get beeswax candles. Be prepared, for the Bridegroom comes in the night to take the bride in, home with Him.

The Home being the interchamber of the Heart of the Divine Bridegroom.

Mary speaks:  I am the spouse of the Lamb,

I am Mary your Mother.

Ours is a union of oneness.

You are to dwell in Our Hearts.

Come to me, my children, I will take you home to the Heart of My Son, Jesus.

I am Mary Immaculate, your Mother, Mary. I appear to you as the Lady Clothed with the Sun.

I Wake You, Knocking

March 1, 1994 3:57a.m.

Note: I was awakened by noise that sounded like soft knocking. It continued until I got up.

Jesus: I am Jesus, little one. I have awakened you to deliver this message. Your days seem to go by so swiftly and you feel as though you do not get anything accomplished. You are feeling as if you follow yourself around. This is all the frustration of this end time. It seems that you and the world are totally disconnected. It seems as if you are compelled to do only My work.

When you pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus, I act through you as I desire. Your days are moving so swiftly and you are compelled to live only for the love of Me.

What else can you do and know Me as you do? You are following My way. I need you at this very moment to act for Me. Tell all to come and be with Me and pray the prayer for union with Me. I want to use each person to do My work. You are in a state of action. Things need to get done. All need to know My intimate love and know I am truly alive and dwelling in your midst. Listen to My commands to do My will.

You passed your test today. Do as I command even when you do not want to. I need your strict obedience. I will continue to prompt you and I need you to obey immediately. Do not tarry when I give you a command. All I tell you to do is crucial to My work. I am teaching you strict obedience. It is by your obedience, and the obedience of all who are fixed to Me, that My work will be done.

I come, I knock. I want these messages out, and now. Time is short. Do not tarry. I am giving you the mighty medicine. I do not care how, but I want My letters read by all. Do not spare the cost. Pass them out at the Center. The people there are My soldiers. I need them in a state of readiness to do all I command. You must obey everything I tell you. The senseless things I commanded you to do this day are not senseless. They are part of My plan.

My intimate love and the fire of My love, the union I have with each person at the Center, will light the dark world. They need to have their arms to fight the battle that is coming. Your arms are hearts filled with My love. This is only obtained from Me after Communion and in front of the tabernacle. Each person has an important role to play. Each person is a mighty force when that person is equipped with My love. Each person will be called to strict obedience. Preach doing My will.

These messages are My calls to action. I want all to respond with action. They need to be called to union with Me and compliance with My will. All need to be involved in the work at hand. Circulate My messages. They need My messages. I am talking to them personally in these messages.

My time is short. Each day lost is a large amount of time. I wake you, knocking, so you will do as I tell you here. Do not question. I want My messages out. This is the mighty medicine. You are the dispensers.

I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I am here to call all to a state of action, so sit up in your seats and focus entirely on Me and My work here. I am telling you all you need to know. These letters will change men's hearts. You must get these letters into the hands of the beloved ones.

I want union with Me. This is the force that will fight the cold war. This is what will change the hardened hearts.

Preach the love of Jesus to your flock. They will carry the light to the world. Their hearts will shine the brightest light in the darkness. This light is powered by My intense love enkindled in their hearts when they are busy about their union with Me.

I need all selfless and unattached to this world and totally in love with My Sacred Heart. My heart is the power you plug into when you come to Me. I have all the power. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire for love of you. My love affair waits for My beloved. You hold the key to unlock this source of power. Preach about My love. Tell them about doing My will. Tell them about listening in the silence to My promptings in their hearts. Listen to all I tell you in the silence. Develop an intense love affair with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

I am calling you to action and only I have your supplies. You are My soldiers in a cold war. Your supplies are your hearts, powered by My love. You must come and sit with Me to be charged. Sit in silence and read My letters of love in front of the tabernacle. I am the Almighty God. I have all you need. Come to Me and I will make you fishers of men. I will weave a blanket with all My beloved ones to cover the cold, scared earth.

My Sacred Heart is on fire with power and love. Nothing compares to the power of Jesus. I am God. I am mighty. I have all you need. Come and receive your supplies. So simple, you say? I, God, can say in a few words what others cannot say in volumes. I can do in a second what you cannot do in years. I am the Almighty God. When you stay fixed in Me, you have all the answers. Plug into My Sacred Heart. Come to Me for your power and your love.

I am alive this very day and I am in your midst. You tarry too long. You wander down roads and look for more answers when I am God and I am speaking to you here and now. I know all things. I give you all you need. Your answers are found in the quiet moments in front of the tabernacle and after Communion.

I am the Lord your God. I gave My life for love of you. All I give you is out of greatest love from Him Who laid down His life for love of You. If you come to Me, I give You this same love this very day! My heart is on fire with love of you. Come and let Me fill you. You will be powered by the mightiest force and your light will shine the brightest, for I am the Lord, God.

Why do you go to a barren desert when I give you all you need? Why search after idle pursuits when I, God, talk to you? Do you not trust that I have all the power? Do you think that I, God, need your help? I am the same Jesus Who came to earth and gave My life for you. What makes you think I would not send you letters this very day? If I, God, came and was born a human being for great love of you, do you not think I would send you a mighty medicine to heal My sick ones?

I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live this day. I am in your midst. I died a brutal death and I come to you. I am Almighty. I can do all things and I am here, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in Communion. What more could heal you than the Body of Christ in your breast? I, God, come to you present in Holy Communion! I am God and I come to you and you run from My church to do what? I am so upset for the indifference for Communion.

You are receiving Jesus, the Son of God, and that where I am, so is God, for we are Three-in-One, and where Jesus is, so is Mary--and you leave with your rattling tongues when I, the Divine Healer, come to you? God comes to you. God sits in the tabernacle and waits for you. Jesus, Who died a brutal death for love of you, sits in the tabernacle and waits for you and He sits all alone. I have all you need. I am God. I am almighty. I have all the power. You search endless paths. You look for answers from people who know no more than you, while I, God, wait with all the power and might!

So simple, so simple! You are making it all so hard. My love affair waits for you. That is all you need. I have all the power. Come to Me and be filled with everything! I am Jesus, Son of God. I come and dwell in your hearts in Communion and you run away when God is in your breasts. You are willful. You want to do things your way. You do not want to surrender. You think you have to be busy about your tasks. You want to do it your way, in your time. You want to think and deliberate. You want what you want.

I am God. I am telling you where all your answers are. They are found from God. Your vision is so limited. I know all things. I come, I dwell in your midst. You receive Me, God, in Communion and you wander around like blind men!

Come to God. I have all the power. I have the brightest light to light your path. You want to do it yourself. You do not know the ways of God. When you do it, you do it. When I do it, I am God and it is a success! Your job is to enkindle a strong love affair with Me and operate from what I prompt you to do. Such insights I give you. You will never figure them out without Me. Come to Me, My little ones. I furnish your starved souls. I give you all the insights you need. Pray to the Holy Spirit daily for His gifts. Pray the Our Father. Come to Jesus in Communion. Here is the powerhouse.

It all comes down to one thing, union with Jesus, love from the heart. Action, love, an ardent, on-fire, love affair with Jesus, the Son of God, your bridegroom, awaits and you keep us apart. Come and get your supplies. You are going into war without your ammunition if you do not come to Me. You are at war in this world and your arms are hearts filled with My love.

Surrender your willful ways and heed My direction here. Become selfless, trust in Me and obey My commands to let go. Be with Me after Communion and in front of the tabernacle. Not five minutes, for I give you 24 hours each day, but will you not sit one hour with Me? Be silent. Read My messages part of the time. I am speaking to you! Such power in front of the tabernacle! Carry My picture in your pocket. I am your lover. Look at Me. Your lover waits. Look at the picture during the day. Stay in constant union with Me. Pray the prayer for union with Jesus. I love you.

You hold the key to opening men's hearts to My love. Will you comply with My message here? Read each message and be busy about our love affair. I love you so much. You have pleased Me to speak of My love. I am your loving Jesus and My heart is on fire for love of You!

4 Years ago yesterday

we began the

6:20

prayers as directed by

Jesus

Messenger:        Dear Apostles,

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

                                It is our desire to love and give of
                            ourselves that will make us happy.

                                Our life here is so very short. We can
                            almost watch the days go by, and yet
                            we long for completeness in God — our
                            hearts thirst after Him.

                                He is what gives us our joy and comfort our
                            real desire to live.

                                But within us is this love for souls.
                                But within us is this desire to love, to give
                                        to be more and more likened to God.

                            Meditating on the mysteries of the rosary — all
                                20 everyday, if only for a short time —
                                giving ourselves completely to God —
                                loving and doing His will is our comfort
                                and our delight.

                            A son was called to the priesthood and he kept 
                                saying no his life was miserable — he searched
                                and like a round peg in a square hole he felt
                                uncomfortable all the time.

                            You have been called to Jesus' army in these end times.
                                The world is suffering.
                                God has allowed Mary to appear.
                                She comes as a messenger.
                            I do not know of the Wanderings of Aeneas, but
                                I know this — a person will search and search
                                and feel not at home if God is calling them
                                and they try to control and say no to God.

                            Life here is but a breath.
                            The soul was created for love.

                            The maturity we have in loving will affect the way we
                                love for all eternity.

                            Loving is growing in the spiritual life.
                            God is love.

                            A man who smokes smells the stale smoke but
                                his body keeps telling him to
                                light another cigarette — he needs it.

                                The spirit within leads the body to seek the
                            Divine. The spirit hungers after God.

                                The cravings of the body can be for so many
                            things —

                                The spirit hungers after God and is satisfied
                                    only in Him.

                                Oh battle of the bulge
                                Oh battle for all that is light —
                                Cast the darkness beneath our feet —
                                And let our eyes feast on Thee —
                                Let us be children of the Light —

                            Like little babes we trod this earth —
                            Testing things — seeing how we want to choose —
                                recognizing our free will —
                            The smell of old smoke can be offending
                                but some will indeed run to it —
                                whiskey and sexual pleasures —

                            but they last a moment and are gone almost as
                                soon as they are tasted and the body soon
                                says —
                                again and again, I want to taste of thee
                                you have become my god —

                            and the stench of hell —

                            and yet so many followed its path —

                            They were warned —

                            God gave them His special gifts and

                            They said no — no — no —

                            Yes we all have a free will —
                            Yes we all have a few years to see how we will
                                mature in our ways of loving and grow in
                                greater union with God.

                            Like animals — some seek the pleasures of
                                the flesh day and night and do not look to
                                the things of the spirit ——

Jesus speaks:     I have called you to My army in these end times —

                            My Mother appears to you —

                            You are her children —

                            The world is at war — between good and evil —

                            A man can leave his family and follow

                                his calling — a man helping, fighting,
                                this evil war —

                                not the ones of the Newspaper ads —
                                it is hidden in the dark headlines —
                                A battle for the soul —
                                A battle of good and evil —

                                A war that you fight every day with your
                                    children, taught to be so superior
                                    in their ways and tasting on the 
                                    pleasures of an undisciplined body.

                            Parents are on the battle front —

                            The barrel is at your eyes —

                            The babies are behind you —

                            You feel them press at your skirts —

                            They soon grow and then

                            They are out there —

                            The leader comes in dramatic fashion

                            Peddling their wares in succulent fashion.

                            Pleasures of breasts and booze and

                                all the undisciplined ways the devil uses

                                to lure the young.

                            Oh world of wonder — you worry for the

                                biological warfare —

                            What of the war that you battle that

                                can get the souls of your children —

                            Where are the children of light —

                            Where are the parents to defend them —

                            Where are the prayer chapters I ask you

                                to pray in My Churches?

February 26, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:    Oh My blind world —

                                Your battle is not with guns and

                                    bombs and tankers, airplanes

                                    and space shuttle —

                                Your battle is with the hearts that

                                    eat a daily diet of evil and the

                                    children you once held behind your

                                    skirt as you stood so tall on the battle-line

                                    are now out-there — fending for themselves —

                                I give you the Bread of life —

                                They have run out of their provisions

                                Their water jars are empty —

                                They crawl on an empty desert to

                                    fill the craving soul that wants

                                    only God and ———

                                They don't know where to turn —

                                Some commit suicide —

                                Some turn to drugs to put themselves

                                    from their misery ——

Feast of the Epiphany
January 5, 2003

Jesus speaks:       This picture was taken on the Epiphany.

                                To those I have called to spread the

                                    image of the Mother who appears

                                    with a picture machine — You

                                    said NO.

                                A lady appears and a whole world says

                                    NO to spreading the vision of

                                    My Mother and Myself ——

                                Oh the joy of a golf game and the player

                                    so adored and loved and who takes

                                    notice of the Queen of Peace —

                                The Mother of God who appears

December 19, 1996 

Mary: 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 (former) 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. 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. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

                                For you are so blind —

                                You fight a war bigger than chemical

                                    warfare and you don't even

                                    talk about it —

                                Your papers, your news, your

                                    scandals and as My Mother

                                    has told you

                                Souls are dropping into hell like rain.

                                When I call you to My army you say no.

                                Parents think they can protect their babies

                                    against the evils of the world and

                                    soon the babies cry because by

                                    day they eat poison and when they

                                    come to you to tell you of their

                                    belly ache you do not recognize

                                    the cause — you give them money and

                                    a higher education — an education

                                    that does not always teach the truth and

                                    leads to deeper confusion —

                                You do not teach them about the

                                    Eucharist and My Word and you

                                    don't use My gifts given

                                    yourself and you

                                    fight your battle without arms —

                                Your arms are gotten from Me

                                    for this war —

                                Some of your children have been

                                    so confused — they do not

                                    even recognize Me as God —

                                    they do not pray —

                                    they think the Bible is

                                        a book of stories and

                                        I am a simple man —

                                        no one special —

                                They worship rock stars and

                                    golfers and singers before they

                                    worship God and their clothes are

                                    clothes, some look very frightful —

                                Oh people listen to Me —

                                Answer your call —

                                You fight a war, but what of

                                    the real war —

Mary speaks:         Souls are dropping into hell                                 like rain and we appear to                                 tell you to pray thus —

Shepherds of Christ Associates

PRAYER MANUAL

Chapter Meeting Prayer Format

The prayer format below should be followed at chapter meetings of Shepherds of Christ Associates. All prayers, not just those said specifically for priests, should include the intention of praying for all the needs of priests the world over.

1. Hymns. Hymns may be sung at any point of the prayer part of the meeting.

2. Holy Spirit Prayer. Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

3. The Rosary.

4. Salve Regina. "Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you do we send up our sighs, our mourning, our weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary."

5. The Memorare. "Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen."

6. Seven Hail Marys in honor of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. Mary has promised very special graces to those who do this on a daily basis. Included in the promises of Our Lady for those who practice this devotion is her pledge to give special assistance at the hour of death, including the sight of her face. The seven sorrows are:

(1) The first sorrow: the prophecy of Simeon (Hail Mary).

(2) The second sorrow: the flight into Egypt (Hail Mary).

(3) The third sorrow: the loss of the Child Jesus in the temple (Hail Mary).

(4) The fourth sorrow: Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross (Hail Mary).

(5) The fifth sorrow: Jesus dies on the cross (Hail Mary).

(6) The sixth sorrow: Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary's arms (Hail Mary).

(7) The seventh sorrow: the burial of Jesus (Hail Mary).

10. Prayer for Priests. "Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen"

11. Prayer for all members of the Shepherds of Christ Associates. "Dear Jesus, we ask Your special blessings on all members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. Continue to enlighten them regarding the very special privilege and responsibility you have given them as members of Your movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates. Draw them ever closer to Your Heart and to Your Mother's Heart. Allow them to more and more realize the great and special love of Your Hearts for each of them as unique individuals. Give them the grace to respond to Your love and Mary's love with an increased love of their own. As they dwell in Your Heart and Mary's Heart, abundantly care for all their needs and those of their loved ones. We make our prayer through You to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary our Mother at our side. Amen"

12. Prayer for the spiritual and financial success of the priestly newsletter. "Father, we ask Your special blessings upon the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. We ask that You open the priest-readers to the graces You wish to give them through this chosen instrument of Your Son. We also ask that You provide for the financial needs of the newsletter and the Shepherds of Christ Associates. We make our prayer through Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary at our side. Amen"

13. Prayer for all members of the human family. "Heavenly Father, we ask Your blessings on all Your children the world over. Attend to all their needs. We ask Your special assistance for all those marginalized people, all those who are so neglected and forgotten. United with our Mother Mary, we make this petition to You through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit."

14. Prayer to St. Michael and our Guardian Angels:

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

15. Pause for silent, personal prayer. This should last at least five minutes.

16. Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

17. Daily Prayers. All members should say the Holy Spirit prayer daily and make the act of consecration daily. They should also pray the rosary each day. They are encouraged to use the other above prayers as time allows.
