Jesus speaks:        My Heart cries out to you to pray
                                    for My beloved souls.

                                Many souls do not even know how
                                    imperfectly they act — they
                                    do not pray for grace to see
                                    the light.

                                They do not pray for Wisdom.

  

Sirah 1: 1-10  

All wisdom comes from the Lord, 
    she is with him for ever. 
The sands of the sea, the drops of rain, 
    the days of eternity—who can count them? 
The height of the sky, the breadth of the earth, 
    the depth of the abyss—who can explore them? 
Wisdom was created before everything, 
    prudent understanding subsists from remotest ages. 
For whom has the root of wisdom ever been uncovered? 
    Her resourceful ways, who knows them? 
One only is wise, terrible indeed, 
    seated on his throne, the Lord. 
It was he who created, inspected and weighed her up, 
    and then poured her out on all his works— 
as much to each living creature as he chose—
    bestowing her on those who love him.

   

Jesus speaks:        Some are too prideful to pray allowing
                                    God's grace to work in them, they
                                    think they do everything right, they
                                    continue acting the way they
                                    are accustomed to and try
                                    to change all around them.

                                Control is a problem.

                                Many control for the sake of control.

                                You must pray for grace to know what
                                    is right.

                                While you give into satan with your
                                    pride, much work is not
                                    being done.

                                Oh My beloved people I have all
                                    the power.

                                Do not let your pride take
                                    you over.

                                Some will lie, just to seem right.

                                What is important to them is that they
                                    are always above others,
                                    that they see themselves
                                    always having the right
                                    answer.

                                What is important is that you
                                    pray for wisdom and truth.

                                What is important that when directing
                                    others, you must pray for wisdom
                                    to do so correctly.

                                Do you pray, or are you telling yourself
                                    you are right and then want God
                                    to prove it to others?

                                I want you to read the Story in the
                                    beginning of the Bible —
  
   

Genesis Chapter 3

 The Fall

   Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’ The woman answered the snake, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ’ Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’ The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig–leaves together to make themselves loin–cloths.

   The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then Yahweh God said to the woman, ‘Why did you do that?’ The woman replied, ‘The snake tempted me and I ate.’

   Then Yahweh God said to the snake, ‘Because you have done this,

    Accursed be you of
    all animals wild and tame!
    On your belly you will go
    and on dust you will feed
    as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.’

     To the woman he said:

     I shall give you intense pain
        in childbearing,
     you will give birth to your children
        in pain.
     Your yearning will be for your husband,
      and he will dominate you.

   To the man he said, ‘Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

     Accursed be the soil because of you!
     Painfully will you get your food from it
     as long as you live.
   It will yield you brambles and thistles,
     as you eat the produce of the land.
   By the sweat of your face
     will you earn your food,
     until you return to the ground,
     as you were taken from it.
     For dust you are
     and to dust you shall return.’

   The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, ‘Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!’ So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

    

Jesus speaks:        I want you to meditate on light.

                                Think of St. Paul and what he was
                                    doing and then he saw the light.

                                Oh pride blinds the man — you must
                                    pray to not be guilty of the
                                    sin of pride, but pray for
                                    grace to do God's will.

                                Many want Me to do what they want,
                                
                                I am God.

                                Many are so prideful in their prayers.

                                Some are so confused that they
                                    change black and white
                                    statements into statements
                                    they interpret to their liking.

                                Pray for wisdom.

                                Pray to not be full of pride.

                                Pray to see as God wants you to see.

Messenger:            The light shown on my face and
                                    I saw differently than before.

Jesus speaks:        Some are hurting so much from
                                    past relationships they do not
                                    know how they are blaming others
                                    today for their pain with others.

                                They need to look at the hidden pain
                                    within from all their relationships.

                                Some do not even realize what they do.

                                A person was very wounded, they
                                    kept saying things to hurt
                                    another to explain their
                                    pain, they never realized
                                    how they drove the other
                                    away. They made the other
                                    person in their relationship,
                                    now, responsible for all the
                                    pain that had been done to 
                                    them. They never looked at
                                    all the disappointments, wounds
                                    and sufferings of the past, - they pick
                                    a surrogate person and act out
                                    all their pain on them, emotionally
                                    controlling and hurting - using the
                                    job, the situation for their own
                                    control.

                                Those underneath others in families
                                    and businesses can use passive-
                                    aggressive ways to get control
                                    and attention. They are silent
                                    and yet their silence hurts everyone
                                    when they are an authority. They
                                    have control of the situation and
                                    that is their goal to emotionally
                                    control those around them to
                                    punish someone for their deep —
                                    seated wounds.

                                People who have suffered terrible
                                    betrayal can punish innocent
                                    people their whole life until
                                    they look at their own bitterness.
                                    Some need to cry and express the
                                    feelings and work through the
                                    process of forgiving and loving
                                    the person who has offended
                                    them.

                                Others may be given special grace
                                    to heal. I have given special
                                    grace at the Virgin Mary building
                                    the building of the Two Hearts for
                                    this changing of one's heart
                                    and seeing the situation in the light.
                                    Some are so prideful, they stuff
                                    their feelings telling themselves they
                                    are above needing any kind of
                                    help dealing with their bitterness
                                    and they heap resentment, hatred,
                                    unforgiveness as in a big box
                                    within ready to explode and
                                    punish any victim they can
                                    consistently control emotionally.

                                When the job is clear and there is
                                    "a bunch of baggage" to get to
                                    the execution of that job - then you
                                    are not doing the job for the 
                                    end product.

                                Some people spend their whole lives
                                    rescuing others.

                                They go into a room and are looking
                                    for the person to help so they
                                    can be master and above them.

                                Oh look at that poor person, they think,
                                    "I will help them" then I will
                                    feel power and satisfaction of
                                    being above them.

                                You do not see the pride in your own
                                    actions, many times.

                                You do not see your own woundedness.

                                Some project their own problems on
                                    others constantly.

                                Others have had traumatic suffering
                                    in relationships and instead of
                                    admitting they must truthfully
                                    try to recover — They close themselves
                                    up like a hard box, thinking they are
                                    so holy they don't need to face their
                                    own pain, then they project their
                                    pain on others trying to control
                                    them and emotionally punish
                                    others for their hidden pain they
                                    have locked away like hungry
                                    dogs in a basement.

                                Who will penetrate the heart of
                                    one who is prideful and punishing —
                                    their own prayers and willingness
                                    to beg for grace can help them.

                                A person unwilling to change does
                                    not want to change, they will try
                                    to manipulate everything so
                                    they will never have to change.

                                It takes grace to look at life-long
                                    behavior patterns and change them.

                                It takes willingness to always beg
                                    that one lives in the truth.

                                One little lie, stretching of the
                                    truth is a doorway to
                                    let other lies in.

                                Is your pride more important
                                    than the truth to you?

                                Do you interpret things so you
                                    will always do things your
                                    way?

                                I am giving directions to complete
                                    this mailing to the priests
                                    in the United States.

                                It is easy to follow.

                                It takes lots of prayers to accomplish
                                    it.

                                A person in need of recovery can
                                    punish others until they
                                    deal with the truth and recognize
                                    the fact they try to emotionally
                                    control others.

                                My ways are direct and steadfast.

                                Two people sat next to each other
                                    in a mailing — they worked
                                    and got the job done.

                                A person full of wounds and
                                    pride is constantly thinking
                                    of all kinds of problems
                                    they have with others — little
                                    work is accomplished, they
                                    have all these issues to settle
                                    being next to someone.

                                Two people working to accomplish
                                    a task - go to work.

                                A person with all kinds of problems
                                    in wounding relationships
                                    spends all his time and
                                    energy seeing who is in
                                    control, how are they acting,
                                    what side of the corner of their
                                    mouth are they smiling out
                                    of, etc.

                                My people while you give into satan
                                    fighting your brothers you need
                                    to work with — all My work
                                    stops and the world is growing
                                    in deeper evilness because
                                    you are not helping.

                                Do you want to help your children?

                                Get off your high-horse, you
                                    think you can control it —

                                Oh My beloved one — you live in
                                    the world and so do your
                                    children — in 2 years your
                                    influence will be so little
                                    and the world is getting worse
                                    and worse.

                                The world will be the teachers
                                    of your children soon and soon —

                                You do not live in a vacuum
                                    you better pray as I have
                                    directed for the priests, the
                                    Church and the WORLD.

                                Are you in My army or

                                    has satan taken you out — controlling
                                    your wounded heart, blaming
                                    others for wounds they did not
                                    give you.

                                You must pray for healing for yourself —
                                    the quickest way is to follow
                                    My directions here

                                    quit reading everything into
                                        it — so you can control it

                                    quit telling others of your
                                        wounded ways by people
                                        who didn't even hurt you.

                                    You give into satan because of
                                        what is inside of you.

                                    What is in your heart —

                                        is it pride
                                            jealousy
                                            the need to control —
                                            untruthfulness
                                            bitterness

 

Matthew 15: 17-20

Can’t you see that whatever goes into the mouth passes through the stomach and is discharged into the sewer? But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and it is this that makes someone unclean. For from the heart come evil intentions: murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, slander. These are the things that make a person unclean. But eating with unwashed hands does not make anyone unclean.’

   

Jesus speaks:         While you are playing your
                                        games, my work isn't
                                        being accomplished and

                                    Your own children and grandchildren
                                        are suffering from the world.

                                What a soldier you are!

                                    You have been laid in a bunker
                                        when the barrel is at your
                                        head because your feelings
                                        are hurt and you need to control.

                                    Believe Me they will shoot your
                                        head and kill your children.

                                    Satan wants souls.

                                    He is evil.

                                    He wants to take them to hell.

                                    You worry about your
                                        body and souls are
                                        dropping into hell
                                        like rain.

                                    Satan is laughing —

                                    Oh the children —

                                    Oh the children

                                No one can tell you, you
                                    are wrong because of your
                                    pride and your need to
                                    control.

                                When I asked you to help Me
                                    you said no to Me
                                    and continued your
                                    stubborn, imperfect ways.

                                You don't even tell yourself
                                    the truth when you
                                    are disappointed —
                                    you blame someone
                                    else and try to get
                                    your power in ways against
                                    My will.

                                A good mother and father loves their 
                                    children.

                                Because the child has swayed from
                                    doing what they should — a good
                                    parent loves the child and
                                    prays for them.

                                The good parent is not looking for
                                    their own selfish gain with
                                    a child

                                Some parents think their children
                                    should fill their unmet needs
                                    of loving

                                    Can you see the ill effects
                                    on the children?

                                A healthy good parent prays for the
                                    children no matter what they
                                    have done, they love them and
                                    want the child to have their eternal
                                    reward.

                                How are your relationships with
                                    your children? Do they exist
                                    to fill your needs?

                                A mother once said when the children
                                    were "up and grown" and seemed
                                    so busy with their own lives

                                I love them so deeply — no matter
                                    what they are doing — it isn't
                                    I love one more than another
                                    because of what they have
                                    done for me

                                I love them all so very deeply

                                I just love them

                                I want so much for them to go
                                    to heaven

                                Oh My people

                                    How pure is your love?

                                    Do  your relationships exist
                                        to fill your wounds and
                                        do you emotionally control
                                        others?

                                I have called you in My army to
                                    help Me.

                                Depending on your maturity and
                                    how you yourself, live
                                    truthfully is how you will 
                                    serve Me.

                                How pure is your love for souls

                                Or was your relationship with
                                    Shepherds of Christ because
                                    you wanted a family to fill
                                    your needs and blame your 
                                    old wounds on.

                                I have called you in My army —
                                    your arms are your hearts
                                    filled with My love —

                                    Some are babies —

                                        they wanted the milk from
                                            the bottle or breast they
                                            never got —

                                        Some wanted the love they
                                            never got from a failed
                                            marriage —

                                I called you to serve Me —

                                I outpoured My love to you in

                                        God's Blue Book

                                I took you deeply into My heart —

                                    Some came and learned and gave
                                        very little back and
                                        gave very little to other souls and
                                        then they started criticizing
                                        My Movement after I gave
                                        them so much —

                                the folly of it is —

                                    is - you do not see the work of satan
                                    in your inactive, bitter life,
                                    Some have a pressure cooker
                                    filled with bitterness and anger
                                    from past relationships and they
                                    want to be held like babies,

                                they want a wife to tell them they
                                    are #1 and they are loved
                                    every second of every day —
  

                         I love you every moment of every day
                              and more and

                                I love My precious souls this way —

                                Your children are being given poison
                                    in the world —

                                    Soon the grandbabies will be given
                                    the same diet and

                                are you the mother that says —

                                    "I love them no matter what"

                                or the

                                    bitter mother that wants the
                                        birthday present and mother's day
                                        card or she will not talk to them —

                                How is your heart —

                                Evil comes from within —

                                        malice

                                        envy

                                        selfishness

                                        jealousy

                                        contemplation of ill deeds

                                        anger —

                                LOOK AT YOUR HEART
  
                                have you grown in My image

                                    and likeness —

  

 Jesus speaks:                           I gave the last drop of My Blood — 
 

                                    your anger and bitterness is eating
                                    you away more than the ill deeds
                                    of your fellows you blame
 
                                    and robbing your heart of
                                    happiness to know Me -
                                    and know you are helping this
                                    troubled world.

     

   

Stations of the Cross
FEBRUARY 22, 1995
  
The First Station
JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH

Jesus: My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and, through this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I love you!
   


  
The Second Station

THEY GIVE JESUS THE CROSS

Jesus: They gave Me a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I felt as if My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little crosses, to experience little pains. I could not remove this cross from My shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through My suffering and death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day that you will grow in your life with Me. Oh, child, I loved you so much that I took up the cross of salvation. I love you. Please realize that I am talking to you here. To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you!
  


  
The Third Station
JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME

Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up.

When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day I carried My cross. I wait with the same love that I had for you when I carried this cross and suffered such agony. Oh, how I love you!
  


  
The Fourth Station

JESUS AND MARY MEET

Jesus: I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.

Mary: As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!
  


  
The Fifth Station

SIMON OF CYRENE IS FORCED
TO HELP JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS

Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.
  


The Sixth Station
VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS

Jesus: My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!


  
The Seventh Station

JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME

Jesus: Oh, dear ones, the road became harder and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and weaker. My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as I walked. The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men! My greatest agony was not the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My heart for the love I have for all My precious souls. I loved them so dearly. I loved those who persecuted Me. Oh, how I love you!
  


The Eighth Station
JESUS MEETS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM

Jesus: The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!


  
The Ninth Station

JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME

Jesus Falls the Third Time
Jesus: I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle. Your strength will come from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for you this day. Oh, how I love you!
  


The Tenth Station
JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS

Jesus: They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you!

The Eleventh Station

THEY NAIL JESUS TO THE CROSS

Messenger: See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.

Mary:
Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.

Jesus:
They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!
  


  
The Twelfth Station

JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS

(Silence.)

Messenger:
He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul.

Jesus:
I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give you Myself! What more do you want?

Song:
Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.

Messenger:
They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist. His life, death and resurrection live on in the Church this day.
  


  
The Thirteenth Station

JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS
AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER

Messenger: His totally lifeless body was placed in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love.

Mary:
I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!
  


The Fourteenth Station
JESUS IS LOCKED IN THE TOMB

Messenger: His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much!


       

    

  

Talk by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
given to the Apostles in the 
Shepherds of Christ Movement
   

February 1, 1998
   

    Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen all of you at once in the same place. It’s a tremendous treat for me. So praise be the Lord. Let’s start with the 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.
