                Jesus: Honesty – to walk in the truth –

                    You want to go to heaven to
                see God face to face

                    Your hearts must be pure
                to go to heaven.

                    I am the Absolute Truth –
                Do you see the little woodland
                creatures so beautiful, made
                by the Heavenly Father –

                    Do you see the sun come
                up, so full of light and beauty –
                Do you know I control your
                life and your breath – that God
                made you uniquely so to be
                so beautiful in the world –
                to live in obedience, to be
                as God wants you to be.

                    What is God's Plan for you?
                Seek the will of God in all
                things – In this lies your
                happiness. You are preparing
                not for a race, but for heaven –
                You are preparing to purify your
                soul – to make your heart like
                Mine, to be truthful. I am the
                way, the truth and the life. I
                want you to give freely to God,
                to be so tuned into His Plan for
                you.

                    Let go and see the world around
                you. Meditate on your gifts given –
                the air is sweet and people were
                created by God – you are to love
                and work hand-in-hand with
                each other for the building of My
                Kingdom.

                    Life is so good. A man went out
                and lived every day not being grateful
                and at peace. A threat came to
                his life. You do not live on this
                earth forever. When a threat comes
                do you see how precious your
                life is? Can you really live?
                Live in the moment, enjoy the
                minutes you have –

                    Pray at the Mass, with such
                depth in your heart – pray for
                grace for the priests, the Church
                and the world.

                    Focus on your brothers as
                created by God for a purpose –
                then pray in love for their souls –

                This is love –

                Knowing you are one with Me –
                trying to serve God by doing God's
                will –
                All day – every day –
                focusing on being true in your
                    face – loving –

                Satan is deceptive – Satan wants
                    you two-faced – lying in your
                    heart –

                Satan works in secrets -
                    Satan wants you down-
                    trodden, envious, jealous,
                    angry and prideful –

                Your joy is in God –
                Pray to be holy –
                Reach for love –

                Pray for greater faith, hope and love –
                    these are theological virtues –
                    Pray and ask God to pour
                    this into your graced, baptized
                    soul –

                The sun shown on the path and
                    the trees were dressed in
                    a beautiful green dress –
                    Some trees looked as they
                    were white lace among all the
                    beautiful foliage – the sky was
                    so blue and there were little
                    clouds in the sky –

                    Shadows were seen on the
                path as the sun trickled through
                some of the branches and the
                air felt as if it hugged your
                skin as you walked.

                    The birds were singing a
                song of joy and it was just
                a beautiful day full of
                opportunities to just enjoy
                the gifts I have given you –

                    Your Mother appeared in Clearwater,
                the Queen of Peace, the Shepherds of
                Christ was given to bring peace to the
                world. I have given families
                who go to Clearwater special
                graces when they come to the
                site and put a statue with glass
                in their homes and pray the
                Shepherds of Christ Prayers I gave
                Fr. Carter – "The family that prays
                together stays together"

                    I am your God – I am
                infinite goodness, I am Almighty –
                I am All – Powerful –

                    Why would you be afraid if
                you really had deep faith –
                I give you the birds of the air, the
                baby in the womb, I send showers
                to make your world glistening and
                bright –

                Be full of gratitude – your days
                could be so short – if you thought
                you would die today would you
                live in a cloud of ingratitude –

                    The turtle doves sang the
                song "who-who" who will
                live united to God – being full of
                love and grateful and
                who - who – who won't even
                see the beautiful day and really
                live.

                Life is a precious gift –

                    "Today is the day, the Lord
                    has made"

                Children need your joy – your
                    teaching them about love
                    and life –

                Children are a blessing to all of
                    you – pray for the children –
                    reach them in the schools –
                    spread the consecration and
                    "Walter's rosaries" to them –

                The more you give satan a crack
                in the door with negative thinking,
                negative behavior – the more you
                do not see the beauty surrounding
                you. Satan wants you thinking
                others are enemies – they are
                opportunities – they are your
                brothers and sisters – they need
                your love – they need your prayers –

                    I have taught you how to
                pray in intercession with the
                Mass – I have taught you – to
                consecrate your hearts to Our
                Two Perfect Hearts of Love –
                I have taught you to surrender to
                My Heart and Mary's Heart –

                    Adam and Eve sinned and you
                have a wounded human nature –

                Consecrating your lives and your
                hearts to My Sacred Heart and Mary's
                Immaculate Heart brings unity and love
                to the earth –
                love to your own hearts –

                As you consecrate your heart to
                Me – you let go of your selfish ways –

                    Satan is the Master of luring
                you into pride and hate, envy,
                jealousy, anger –

                    Listen to Me, here
                    Listen to Mary –

                Spread the Consecration to Our
                    Two Hearts as the Ministries
                    dictate –

                Do it yourself –

                Your life is to be lived with
                    a heart like Mine – living
                    to serve your Heavenly Father –
                    living in peace –

                God the Father sent your Mother to
                Clearwater to teach the world
                about love and peace –

                    Clearwater is My garden –

                    I sent all My messages, My
                letters of love to Clearwater –
                I want My books and rosaries
                and prayers spread from Clearwater.

                    I will grant special gifts to
                those using the Jesus water, Mary
                water and praying the Shepherds of
                Christ Prayers before the statues with glass.

                Do not be focused on yourself
                    and caved-in –

                Does the sun rise and set on you –

                Pray for healing of your family tree.

                Pray for your ancestors, pray
                for your children – even those
                who are being carried in the
                womb –

                    Pray for Mary's children
                who need the consecration cards
                and rosary.

Romans 3: 21-26

Romans 5: 1-21

                Jesus: I have taught you in the Shepherds of
                    Christ how to pray.

                Mary has appeared to teach you
                    to pray –

                I am the great healer –

                I teach you and people come
                    to the site to be healed –
                    You lead them to My teachings –
                    lead them to the daily prayers,
                    to the 5ths, to the retreats –

                R. Jesus shows us His love for
                    us and for the Father – we
                    should have real heartfelt love for
                    our God and want to serve Him as He
                    deserves –

                    We see the Mass is the sacrifice
                of Calvary, sacramentally made
                present –

                    Can we not see the love of
                our Heavenly Father, who created
                us and gave us Jesus, as a
                sacrifice for our sins!

                    The Cross is given to us –
                in this we should see God's
                love for us.

                R. We see this perfection in this
                    gift –
                    the gift of the perfect sacrifice
                    offered to the Father –

                We are one in the Mass with
                    Jesus – offering to the Father
                    in the Holy Spirit.

                Dear God impart to us
                    light – that we will
                    see through faith
                    in You, insight into
                    the Divine Mysteries!

                May our eyes and hearts be
                illuminated so we can
                understand more and more
                the mystery of God's love,
                the Mystery of Christ
                    truly present in the Eucharist,
                the Mystery of the gift
                    of the Mass –  

                R. Let the image of Jesus
                    be more and more molded
                    on our hearts –
                    Holy Spirit work in us.
    

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

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

                R. Our actions are to be harmonious,
                    in one mind and one heart
                    in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary –

                Acts should be as God wants
                    with right reason –

                Acts must be disciplined –

                We pray to be possessed by God's
                    grace –

From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit And Mary

The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: "Christian life is the reproduction of Jesus in souls…

"Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.

"In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him…

"That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.

"Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.

"Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.

"These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the co-operation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life.

"Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant." ¹⁸

                R. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies us –

                Let us be submissive to
                    the working of the Holy Spirit
                    in us – pray for His
                    gifts! Pray to be more
                    in the image and likeness of God!

                Sing: 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.
