                In the Month of the Sacred Heart

                R. Dear God I pray for Your grace to
                help me to see through Your eyes to
                know Your will for me.

                    I pray for Fr. Joe's new book, for
                the inside and the cover and so we
                can again send it to the Cardinals
                and Bishops and priests of the United States
                to help them with their homilies
                weekly.
 

     

 

                R. I pray for the priests the world over
                to be strong to spread the great gift
                to the people about the Mass, about
                the Catholic faith. I pray for priests
                to be so intimately united in their
                hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to
                have that deep spiritual union with Mary,
                their Mother and all priests and
                bishops of the world to consecrate
                their hearts to Jesus and Mary.

                    That is why Jesus asked Fr. Carter
                to spread these prayers to priests
                and hierarchy all over the world
                because they are consecrating their
                hearts to Jesus and Mary when they say
                these prayers.

                R. That is what Mary asked for at Fatima.
                Fr. Carter always said Mary said - unless
                a sufficient number of people have
                given their hearts to Jesus and Mary we won't
                have peace in the world.

                    Spreading Fr. Joe's book with the
                prayers in the back gives them the
                ability to spread this devotion to the Sacred
                Heart and to consecrate their hearts to the
                Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

                    Here is the message Fr. Carter got on
                the Feast of St. Ignatius July 31, 1994 –

 

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.

"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)

   
 

4 days before Fr. Carter's death

 

                R. I call out to You God that people will
                listen to this message to pray these prayers.
                That priests who want peace in the world
                will help us spread these prayers Jesus
                gave to Fr. Carter – 22 years ago – when he
                told Fr. Carter to spread the prayers to the
                far corners of the earth.

                    Dear Holy Spirit please help us do this work,
                to put aside the distractions of satan
                and to spread these prayers and our
                Priestly Newsletters – the writings of Fr. Carter
                and the homily books of Fr. Joe's that
                help the people know about the truth
                in these times of struggle by focusing
                on the Word and the Eucharist.

                    How do people know the truth –
                How do we have right reasoning –
                The Catholic Church is teacher  – to
                teach us about the truth. God
                gives us His Word and the 10 Commandments.
                How do we have right reasoning,
                we focus on the Word, the 10
                Commandments, the teachings of
                the Church.

                    Jesus asked Fr. Carter to begin this
                Movement 22 years ago to spread
                these prayers chapters, to circulate
                the Priestly Writing and we have circulated
                17,000,000 Priestly Newsletters loose
                and in books and at least 350,000
                of Fr. Joe's homily books to priests
                and hierarchy.
 
 

   

 

 

     

 

    

 

                R. Here is a long Morning Offering we all
                need to pray daily.
                 

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.

                  

                R. For the Nursing Homes we have big
                    print of short Morning Offering.

 

 

                R. For children we have this Consecration.

 

 

                R. Do we want peace in the world?

                Then we spread the Consecration to
                    the Hearts of Jesus and Mary –

                We spread the Priestly Writing
                Cardinal George told me 9 homily
                    books ago to spread Fr. Joe's
                    homily books –
                    Guiding Light - to the priests –

 

     

 

                R. Come Holy Spirit please help us –

                We are the poor banished children
                    of Adam and Eve –

                Mary has appeared to me for 22 years
                    to spread this message –

 

August 1, 1994

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ

R. The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.

Mary: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.

I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

end of August 1, 1994

 

                R. Help me spread the message so families
                    consecrate their homes and families
                    to the Sacred Heart –

                Put a statue with the glass from
                    Mary's image face in the
                    home and
                Praying these prayers of devotion to the
                    Two Hearts and
                Consecration to the Two Hearts
                    can help consecrate the home and
                    family to the Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
