Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.


Jesus speaks: This is not a condemnation of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center or the Falmouth Farm. Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center is Mary's House and the Farm, Mary's Farm.

It is to show the displeasure of God that after a century of apparitions from your Mother that the world is in the state it is in today. You do not understand the comprehensiveness of this mission to lead men to the Reign of My Heart. You will reach the far ends of this earth, not with force or powder, but with love coming from the fire of My love alive in your hearts.

Listen to Me.

Unite in My love.

Become one in Me.

I beg you to do as I have instructed you to do.

Please, so many souls can be reached if you respond today. You are My soldiers of love.

This is My Movement, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to help to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.


September 7, 1999  to appear September 8, 1999 - Second Message

Jesus speaks: From Fatima to Falmouth, Kentucky

The Shepherds of Christ Movement is MY MOVEMENT to lead men into great oneness where there will be one flock and one Shepherd through consecration to Our two Hearts.

A Century of Marian Apparitions

This is an urgent message to you.

You see the devastation from World War II, you disobeyed the Fatima message.

You see the devastation of the areas of Yugoslavia surrounding Medjugorje.

You see the devastation of the town of Falmouth, Kentucky, a little town in which she appeared.

A CENTURY OF MARIAN APPARITIONS

My Mother appeared daily July 5, 1994 - September 5, 1995 and you did not comprehend.

January 5, 1995, God the Father speaks: "I am the Father, My plan will unfold despite any willfulness."

Jesus speaks: A CENTURY OF MARIAN APPARITIONS


Luke 12:49-53
Jesus and his Passion

'I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

Jesus the cause of dissension

'Do you suppose that I am here to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on, a household of five will be divided: three against two and two against three; father opposed to son, son to father, mother to daughter, daughter to mother, mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law to mother-in-law.'


Luke 11:17

....'Any kingdom which is divided against itself is heading for ruin,...


Matthew 12:46-50
The true kinsfolk of Jesus

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'


Jesus speaks: My children, in the end all will be living according to the will of the Father.

I give you My Movement, Shepherds of Christ.

Mary called all the children to lead them to My Heart that I would be King of their hearts.

At the end of this century Mary appears the Queen of the South - the Lady Clothed with the Sun to lead you to a deeper intimate union in My Heart.

How can you deny the Lady appearing on the building, begging you to come?


Revelation 12:1

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.


Our Lady of Clearwater Building

Jesus speaks: I ask this note be circulated to all.

She appears to lead you to the burning embers of My Heart.

This is My Movement.

The material at Mary's Image Building is to help to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart.

I have given the following message to My priest, Father Carter, July 31, 1994.


Sacred Heart of Jesus

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

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

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

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

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits).


Jesus speaks: These are the prayers I have given, I have attached significant grace to them to take souls to the depth of My Heart.

MARY CALLED: From Fatima to Falmouth, Kentucky and beyond!

Will you listen?

Listen to the words My Mother wished played before her image.


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.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

(End of August 27, 1996 message.)


Jesus speaks: She does not appear as she once appeared, she appears on the building and it is not sign enough for you!

What do I do to shake you?

You persecute My messenger.

I want prayer chapters begun as I have requested February 23, 1999, praying the preliminary prayers, the Holy Spirit Novena and the Shepherds of Christ prayers followed by the rosary.


Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

A City on a Hill Shines to the World (excerpt)

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!

As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me.

I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.


Jesus speaks: Mary appeared at Fatima May 13, 1917 - October 13, 1917, 6 apparitions.

I called the meetings of October 13, 1996 - March 13, 1997, in which I gave important messages concerning the completion of the Fatima mission. (6 rosaries with Father Carter) My Mother appeared on the building in Florida December 17, 1996, after 3 rosaries. These rosaries were messages from Me to help complete the mission begun by My Mother at Fatima.

I have continued to give special information on the 13th of each month to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and Triumph of My Mother's Heart and lead men to a deeper intimate union with Me.

The Shepherds of Christ is My Movement to help bring about this most holy spousal union between men and God.

I give you the promises of St. Margaret Mary.

Excerpt from Apostles' Manual

Messenger: Shepherds of Christ Associates: These are prayer groups of two or more people which meet at least monthly. Many groups meet weekly before the Blessed Sacrament. These groups follow the format outlined in the Prayer Manual found on pages iii to x. Meetings normally last about an hour. See pages twelve through fourteen for additional information.


Associates gather and pray at least once monthly as a group and also help with donations to support the Shepherds of Christ priestly newsletter. They can be tremendously involved. They give as they feel they are able.

(end of Apostles' Manual excerpt)


Jesus speaks: I wish to appear here the message given to Father Carter October 13, 1994.


The Birth of the Full Ministries of the Shepherds of Christ

"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.'

Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.


Jesus speaks: My Movement is NOT in competition with My Mother. It is to help lead to the fulfillment of the Fatima mission.

DO NOT BLOCK IT.


Revelation 21:1-7

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.


Jesus speaks:

1. PLEASE PRAY THE PRAYERS.
2. HELP TO CIRCULATE THE PRIESTLY NEWSLETTER.
3. HELP WITH THE SCHOOL ROSARY PROGRAM.


Luke 19:41-44
Lament for Jerusalem

As he drew near and came in sight of the city he shed tears over it and said, 'If you too had only recognised on this day the way to peace! But in fact it is hidden from your eyes! Yes, a time is coming when your enemies will raise fortifications all round you, when they will encircle you and hem you in on every side; they will dash you and the children inside your walls to the ground; they will leave not one stone standing on another within you, because you did not recognise the moment of your visitation.'


Excerpts from December 7, 1996 First Saturday - Revelations on the Light  (Apostles' Manual pp. 196-197)

On July 2, 1996, my son, Joseph, was taking pictures of all of the Shepherds of Christ members at Tom Arlinghaus' farm. He took one picture of each person. Jesus told me to tell him to take two pictures of Fr. Carter. The first picture was a normal picture. The second picture was of Fr. Carter covered with a pillar of light.

In front of a statue of Our Sorrowful Mother, Mary was alive in the statue.

On July 4, 1996, I was in front of the statue of Our Sorrowful Mother.   Mary was alive in the statue.  I received the following message from Jesus:

Jesus speaks: "Peace will abound when nations, churches, families, and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Shepherds of Christ Movement...is a pillar of light in the darkness."

Messenger: I was instructed to place the message behind these pictures of Father Carter.

Father Carter appeared as a pillar of light.


Revelation 3:12

Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.


2 Corinthians 4:7-15
The hardships and hopes of the apostolate

But we hold this treasure in pots of earthenware, so that the immensity of the power is God's and not our own. We are subjected to every kind of hardship, but never distressed; we see no way out but we never despair; we are pursued but never cut off; knocked down, but still have some life in us; always we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our body. Indeed, while we are still alive, we are continually being handed over to death, for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our mortal flesh. In us, then, death is at work; in you, life.

But as we have the same spirit of faith as is described in scripture--I believed and therefore I spoke -- we, too, believe and therefore we, too, speak, realising that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up with Jesus in our turn, and bring us to himself -- and you as well. You see, everything is for your benefit, so that as grace spreads, so, to the glory of God, thanksgiving may also overflow among more and more people.


Messenger: It is a message given from God that I deliver here.

I am a messenger.

His plan is as it is.

He will not change it because you do not wish the message from me.

His plan is His.

His might is His.

His power is the power.

No man, no matter how he tries, can change the will of God.

Souls are at stake.

Our Lord and our Lady have told us what to do. It is a message I deliver to you.


Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel when I am burdened and you are tender and loving?
