R. Yesterday on a sports show I
heard this story –
There was a family – Mom, Dad
and two boys and a little girl –
they were flying to a vacation from
Indiana to Michigan in a private
plane. His mom was killed and
his other siblings – all that was
left was his dad and himself.
He and his dad played lots
of basketball on the driveway.
In high school he was a
gifted basketball player –
The dad remarried a wonderful woman
with 3 girls and the young man called
his new mom – Mom – and he loved
his sisters.
When he was 16, his dad and
new mom and the young man went
on a trip again on their private
plane to Michigan –
Again there was another
plane wreck and only he survived.
His new mom and dad died in the
wreck, he was left in a comma
for 6 weeks and had very much
damage.
Before the plane wreck - he was
promised a scholarship for basketball
to Michigan – he wanted very bad,
his first mom went there.
The young man worked on his
basketball in rehabilitation at a
Jesuit school in California – hard
work, every morning, he could
hardly walk – he was determined
to go back to Michigan and take
his scholarship.
After all this rehab – he was
once again able to go to Michigan.
He became a great player for the
Michigan Basketball team having
survived 2 plane wrecks and
so many people he loved who
died in 2 plane crashes –
Now I want to tell you about
R. Jerry Schmuecker our Servant
in China.
His older brother was driving
their car and Jerry and his
twin brother took turns in the
front seat.
The car stalled on the Railroad
tracks and a train hit
the car on Jerry's side –
Jerry was in a coma for
6 weeks too –
Jerry came out and they even
had a pool inside in
their home for his
rehab
Jerry worked and worked to
get better –
Jerry came to China in 2000 and
in June – Fr. Carter made
him a Servant of the Good Shepherd
For 15 years – Jerry has
helped and prayed for all
R. Jerry has helped in getting
the Priestly Mailing all
over the world and to all
of the priests in the
United States
Jerry helped with Betty –
Jerry is a Prayer Warrior praying
for the priests, the Church
and the world.
Another story
R. Betty gave her life in China, Indiana
praying for us for 17 years
before the Blessed Sacrament –
Betty gave and she never
complained –
when her head was bowed
she held it up and
she always smiled
R. Sophie also died in February, 2015
she spent 17 years also
praying before the Blessed Sacrament
in China, Indiana –
after being the sacristan
for 10 years –
I retired her and Sheila
took over this sacristan
job –
Sophie loved Jesus
Rosie
R. Rosie had cancer and she
went through chemo and surgery,
is back full time helping
with lots of adoration and
the Priestly Mailing in
China –
Margaret –
was a handmaid –
She had Lupus –
she died,
but Margaret did much
with the vestments –
making rosaries for the
schools
She gave so much to
Shepherds of Christ

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.end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message

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."

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
end of excerpt... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.
R. Faith helps us see the vision of God –
we love God – we know that
we can be united to God –
to be one with God – to have
the vision of God –
This faith then opens the heart to
hope – to know that God will
lead us to eternal life in Him.
Our true happiness will be
in eternal life with God –
We believe – we have faith
that God will lead us to
this and we hope in
eternal life –
In Charity - we love God for Himself –
In hope we seek eternal happiness –
we want to be eternally happy
with God in heaven –
But in Christ - we love God for
Himself and we want to obey
Him and keep His commandments
and please Him – because
He is the One we love.
Cling to Me
Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.
end of May 13, 1993
R. Dear God,
Help us to increase in the virtues
of faith, hope and love. Give us
the gift deeper in our soul to
see through Your eyes, Your plan
for us.
Dear God, help us in our blindness,
fill us with greater confidence in
the uncertainties of life to trust
in You – to depend on You – to
know You are there in our
trials and weaknesses – help us
to have the confidence of a child
depending on their Father.
We know we are sinners and
imperfect in our ways, but we love
You God and we want greater
faith, hope and love –
to know Your will –
to depend on Your presence in
all the situations we encounter
day by day –
Dear God, we know suffering is
redemptive –
Come to Me Lord and possess
my soul
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
