Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

                 Jesus: My child listen to My voice, heed My
                direction, days are coming when there will
                not be a stone left on a stone, but you
                have nothing to fear, trust in me and know
                I am your God and I will watch out after
                you. I love you, you are My child. Go to
                bed.

                                        I love you
                                            Jesus

                R. This was the message I fell asleep at the end.
 

 Luke 21: 5-11

When some were talking about the Temple, remarking how it was adorned with fine stonework and votive offerings, he said, ‘All these things you are staring at now—the time will come when not a single stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed.’ And they put to him this question, ‘Master,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, then, and what sign will there be that it is about to take place?’

But he said, ‘Take care not to be deceived, because many will come using my name and saying, "I am the one" and "The time is near at hand." Refuse to join them. And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified, for this is something that must happen first, but the end will not come at once.’ Then he said to them, ‘Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes and plagues and famines in various places; there will be terrifying events and great signs from heaven.

    

                R. "When I lost my voice January, 1992 –

                I was falling asleep –

                My pen went down the paper
                    Jesus said –
                    There would not be left a stone
                        on a stone –"

                    Jesus called us to bring peace and
                joy to the world in the Shepherds of Christ –

  A message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

    I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). 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. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. 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.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusSufferings Will Befall You

January 19, 1994 4:45 a.m.

Jesus: I write a message for the world. I write this message for you. I want to tell them to pray and not to underestimate what sufferings will befall them all. Pray constantly. You suffer this weather, you see the earthquakes and you still do not comprehend a power greater than yourself. I have all the power. I want men's minds and hearts to turn back to God. I want God first in their lives, but they are so blind. What do they need to shake them to such great power!

All things are under My control. There is not one thing that happens that I do not allow. You are so comfortable in such evilness. Why are you not on your knees asking, "Lord what is happening?" One suffering will come after another and you will, in your blindness, have to admit to My Might. My mother comes and people pay no heed. Spread these messages. Spread her messages. Do not think of what others think of you. They will know soon enough of their blindness. Do not spend a day without telling someone news about the Blessed Mother and why she comes. Tell all of My might and tell them to pray. Prayer is your weapon in a sick world. Open up the minds of your friends. What will rock these children off their rockers? If the earth moves under them, they still stay steadfast in their ways. So stubborn, indeed. They want to be blind because they do not want to change to the ways of God!

I am He Who comes to you this way. I am He Who wants you to pray constantly. I am He Who is calling out an alert for a change in your lives. I am He Who wants you to pray, yet you sit. You idle and hold on to such trivial things while the earth moves under your feet! I will rock the heavens. I will tell you of My might. Sit, you idle ones, but you will suffer for not praying. I am God. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, and I am ever present in your midst. You are blind and look for idle pursuits.

You have become so comfortable in this evilness that you do not even sit up and take notice. "Oh, it is okay. I don't like it, but it is okay." Your children are being poisoned by the world, as if someone gives them constant poison, and you worry about your sports and what have you!

Where in the world do you think you are going? Man thinks he is here to stay. He spends his days making his life "better" he thinks: more things--more things, more money, better bodies, clean breath, better smelling feet--oh, such insane pursuits! Let's make these bodies so perfect! Our lives should reflect the perfect life! Our children run races for glory every day, not even knowing the Ten Commandments! You make every moment a pleasure in itself. Make yourselves happy. Eat, drink, be merry, be beautiful, be smart, be perfect. Forget God--who is He? We have a life going on here and we are going to enjoy every moment! This society is sick, sick, sick. What they are enjoying is destroying their souls. Children are not even aware that I exist and their lives are totally secular. They are so blind. Oh, America, I lament everything you do. It is senseless and without meaning!

The Son of Man is in your midst and you do not even know who He is. What more can I say. Spread My good news that Jesus is Lord and He is Coming, that you had better turn your lives back to Him now. Mary, My mother, is coming. The sun spins. What do they need? Such attachments to their sick ways! Pray constantly. Tell others about Me. Tell them to read the Bible and amend their ways. Tell them that I am God and that they need to turn their lives back to Me. Tell them to repent and pray. My mercy is great and I am waiting with open arms.

Pray, America, pray. You will soon know My might if you continue your foolish ways. Every soul who is fixed in Me is My messenger. Go to the highways and byways and tell all: Jesus is Lord and He wants you to amend your lives. He will rock the earth and you will know His might. Time is short. Repent and pray constantly. What do I do to shake you? This earth is very insecure, here today, gone tomorrow. The only things that remain are the things of God.

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. Hear Me, America. Listen and be attentive! I do not come to give a message for one or two. This is My message for all. You will know My might in big proportions. I will rock you off your rockers. You must turn your lives to God. You are not here for fun and sin and whatever you are doing. Oh, little ones, you miss My tremendous love for you. You have missed all the good I have for you. You are stubborn and willful. You are silly and sick. Pray for your brothers. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Offer everything you do as a prayer and know I never ever leave you! I love you, My child. This message is an act of love!

I gave Myself that you might live. I am He Who comes to deliver this message to you and you are blind. Look beyond the cup and the drink. This is your miracle, that I am truly present in the Eucharist.

I am here. Open your eyes and see Me here in your midst. Come to Me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. I am your God and I comfort you on your way. I am waiting for you to come and be in union with Me.

You, My faithful ones, can no longer be silent. Don't worry. Speak out. Others need you!

Daniel 2: 31-45

    'You have had a vision, Your Majesty; this is what you saw: a statue, a great statue of extreme brightness, stood before you, terrible to see. The head of this statue was of fine gold, its chest and arms were of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,  its legs of iron, its feet part iron, part clay. While you were gazing, a stone broke away, untouched by any hand, and struck the statue, struck its feet of iron and clay and shattered them. Then, iron and clay, bronze, silver and gold, all broke into pieces as fine as chaff on the threshing-floor in summer. The wind blew them away, leaving not a trace behind. And the stone that had struck the statue grew into a great mountain, filling the whole world. This was the dream; we shall now explain to the king what it means.

    'You, Your Majesty, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength and honour human beings, wild animals, birds of the air, wherever they live, he has entrusted to your rule, making you king of them all you are the golden head. And, after you, another kingdom will rise, not as great as yours, and then a third, of bronze, which will rule the whole world. There will be a fourth kingdom, hard as iron, as iron that pulverises and crushes all. Like iron that breaks everything to pieces, it will crush and break all the earlier kingdoms. The feet you saw, part earthenware, part iron, are a kingdom which will be split in two, but which will retain something of the strength of iron, just as you saw the iron and the clay of the earthenware mixed together. The feet were part iron, part potter's clay: the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron and the clay of the earthenware mixed together, so the two will be mixed together in human seed; but they will not hold together any more than iron will blend with clay. In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not pass into the hands of another race: it will shatter and absorb all the previous kingdoms and itself last for ever just as you saw a stone, untouched by hand, break away from the mountain and reduce iron, bronze, earthenware, silver and gold to powder. The Great God has shown the king what is to take place. The dream is true, the interpretation exact.'

 

Daniel 3: 57-61

Bless the Lord, all the Lord's creation:
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, angels of the Lord,
praise and glorify him for ever!
Bless the Lord, heavens,
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, all the waters
    above the heavens
praise and glorify him for ever! 
Bless the Lord, powers of the Lord,
praise and glorify him for ever! 

 

Luke 21: 5-11

When some were talking about the Temple, remarking how it was adorned with fine stonework and votive offerings, he said, ‘All these things you are staring at now—the time will come when not a single stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed.’ And they put to him this question, ‘Master,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, then, and what sign will there be that it is about to take place?’

But he said, ‘Take care not to be deceived, because many will come using my name and saying, "I am the one" and "The time is near at hand." Refuse to join them. And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified, for this is something that must happen first, but the end will not come at once.’ Then he said to them, ‘Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes and plagues and famines in various places; there will be terrifying events and great signs from heaven.

    

                The King had a dream and
                    Daniel was called in to interpret
                    4 kingdoms will be destroyed
                    God's people will triumph

                God's people must trust in Him
                It is the end of the liturgical year
                We had the poor widow in the Gospel yesterday
                    she trusted in God — God will protect her —

                This world will pass away
                The temple will be destroyed
                But God's Kingdom will last forever

                In every age there is sickness, storms,
                    earthquakes —

                People want to know when is the end —

                We are to keep preparing ourselves — always —
                We are prepared if we are trying to do
                    God's will

                Be ready — We must trust in God —

                We have to suffer —

                Day after day patiently accept the every day
                    suffering and stay rooted in him

                When I lost my voice January, 1992 —
                    I was falling asleep —
                    My pen went down the paper
                    Jesus said —
                        There would not be left a stone
                            on a stone —

                Jesus called the Shepherds to bring peace and
                    holiness to the world —

                Jesus' Movement is a Movement of the
                    Father — He has told us —
                    To bring the Reign of His Sacred Heart to this earth
                    and triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart -

                January, 2010 it will be 18 years since I
                    got this message about a stone being left on a stone

                I watch our suffering
                I watch the law support things against
                    God's will

                I cry —
                but I believe and trust in God

                God gave Fr. Carter this message

   

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

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

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

                Jesus gives us the Church
                Jesus gives us the priest
                Jesus gives us the Mass

                Song: A Priest is a Gift from God

                Fr. Carter Believed
 


 

                Jesus gives us Himself in the Mass
                Jesus' Kingdom will never end —

                Father — we love You
                    we unite the offering of ourselves
                        with Jesus in the Mass
                    we offer this, God the Father in the Holy Spirit,
                        with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory
                        through the intercessions of Mary, Our Mother —

                Father help us
                We beg You

  

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

Lamb of God

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.


    

                We do all things for the honor and glory of God —
                We give Him what He wants
                I write these writings, from Jesus to you —
                I do it for Jesus, from Jesus
                He loves us so much —
                He gives us Himself in the Eucharist

                Oh my God — words do not exist to be able
                    to express how it is when You come
                    to me

                I am so unworthy —
                Yet I know You so deeply in these intimate
                    moments with You, now in the
                    Eucharist —

                You fill me
                You love me

                May I be so one with You — Now and Forever

                Oh God my heart burns —
                Oh God my fear is quenched
                Oh God I love Thee with a contrite heart
                Oh God, You are my King
                Oh God, You are my all —

                My heart burns because I love You
                    so and am so unworthy to receive
                    Thee, now

                Holy Spirit — fill me
                                — prepare me to be ready when
                                    God calls
                                — prepare me — so I can do
                                    Thy holy work —

                Oh God — Stay with me in this presence

                Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

                Song: I Love You Jesus

                Come Lord Jesus

                Come to me —

                I want this presence with Thee

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                Come, oh Come, Messiah
                Come to me and fill me —

                Wash me of my sins —
                Hear my plaintiff cry for help —

                Oh God, I thank Thee —
                Oh God, I want to make reparation for
                    the offenses against You —

                Sing a song of joy
                Sing a song of love

                Let not your heart be turned to stone —
                    Walk not with the hard heart —
                    Tending to details —

                Forgetting how God calls us to work in
                    love together to do His work —
                    It is His will —
                    No man is an island —
                    Working in a closet —
                    Locked door in isolation and
                    Demanding others come on our schedule —

                God painted the stars
                God hung the lights
                God prepared the place for His honor and glory —

                He fashioned all the scenery —
                He filled it with life —
                He made the baby in the womb —
                He gave us a little clock to grow and
                    develop

                Then the merciless man comes —
                    move ahead he says like the street
                        cleaner or bulldozer —
                    Does the bulldozer knock down the
                        tiny flowers God created —

                Is he ready to destroy that which is
                    growing and prospering so he can
                    do it his way —

                Years and years they worked to build a city —
                    the autumn leaves adorned the trees —
                    flowers grew around little bushes —
                    babies were pushed in strollers in a park —

                Move ahead the man said —
                    I have an idea —
                    Destroy what you have — I'm moving on —
                                                            progress you know —

                In the wind, I heard the fluttering of the
                    Holy Spirit —
                    In my heart I knew His breath —
                    I listened and I learned —
                    Not like a battle-ax who came in
                        like a herd of elephants —
                    But a little poodle dog with little
                        puffs on its legs —
                        docile — ready to follow the
                        direction of the King —

                Jesus came not a high and mighty King —
                    He came a baby King — approachable —
                    gentle, sweet - cooing —
                    to deliver the message —
                    A Savior has come

                He didn't come knocking down the trees
                    and shaking the earth —

                Like in the Eucharist —
                    I ascend the communion rail and
                        He the Divine God comes to me —
                    I am humbled
                    I am His
                    I am kneeling
                    I am prostrate
                    I tip-toe in His presence

                Those who see not come like a bull in a
                    China shop —

                Let the sweetness of the Christ child fill our
                    hearts with love on Christmas —

                I saw a man with a ladder for he always
                    sought the high places —
                    He moved his ladder to the tallest tree and
                        the red apples peeked out in brilliance
                        among a layer of green leaves —

                    Brazen as if he owned the tree —
                        he walked right up to the tree and
                        began putting up his ladder to acquire
                        the highest fruit —

                Once he mounted it — he climbed high and
                    taking the most succulent apple
                    he said "For me, I eat for me"

                But he did not know that a worm, too, had
                    made his way — not with a ladder
                    but had eaten away destroying the
                    palatable flesh of the interior of
                    his fruit —

                He chose a high place to be high —
                    angels fear to treed until they know the
                        path is the path of God

                At once he bit down and he tasted the
                    wiggly worm — the higher he was
                    the further he fell from the ladder for
                    he intended not to feast on a wiggly worm
                    at all —

                How high is your ladder —
                    does it reach the heights for your own
                    self glory —

                Do you fly on eagles wings and take in
                    the scenery of God the Father and
                    his plan

                Or do you see like one —
                    seeing only themselves
                    wanting what they want, when they want it —

                Is your goal motivated by jealousy and manipulation
                    for your selfish ways or

                Do you follow the Master —
                    reaching for the plan of the Father

                Or who reaches high to please himself
                    falls harder from their place
                    of empty glory

                There is but one King and we need not a ladder
                    to reach Him — we need a gentle heart —

                Look at the baby Jesus —

                No room in our heart for Jesus on Christmas
                    morn —

                Or is our heart full of stuff —
                    is the heart being choked by unhealed wounds,
                        unforgiveness

 

 

                Does the baby Jesus hear us say when He
                    comes to our heart on Christmas
                    "no room in the Inn, sorry,
                    I am full of myself"

                Reach for the high fruit with the
                    hand of God --

                Let God pick the fruit, the tree
                    and take the one He wants us
                    to have

                Don't be greedy, possessive, jealous,
                    unloving to our brothers and
                    if we are, the farther we fall from
                    letting Him lead the way —

                Now fruit is special because God made it
                    But what of the gift - God brings —
                    Jesus gives us not apples,
                    but He gives us Himself
                        He gives us His Body and Blood —

                We reach for what we want and
                    very often bite into worms —
                    the apple looks good —
                    it was red and shiny, but
                    when we bit into it —
                    yuk — WORMS —

                God feeds us right
                God gives us His Word
                Jesus gives us the Eucharist
                God feeds our soul and

                When He feeds our body — we can follow
                    His Plan and eat the fruit He has
                    planned for us

                But the brassy guy with the big ladder —
                    sees himself —

                Surrounded by the sky and sun and moon
                    and stars — he can operate in his
                    vacuum filled up with self —
                    Wounds that bleed —
                    Wounds he keeps in division and
                        rupturing his relationship with
                        God and others

                    Because he won't let go of his
                        emotional wounds of the past —
                        but keeps them like trophies 

 

                Jesus gives us His Heart

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the Will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the Will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His Will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and rosary meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ Chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

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., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

    

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray 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.

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.

 
            

           From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.       

Age of the Two Hearts

Jesus:  "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"

17 Years Ago

  A message for the Earth from Jesus

January 22, 1998

    I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). 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. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. 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.
