Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.


Messenger: A Responsorial Psalm that can be used as an option in the votive Mass of the Sacred Heart is:

Response: Joyfully you will draw water
                from the springs of salvation (Isaiah 12:3)

It is accompanied by Isaiah 12:2-3.


Isaiah 12:2-3

Look, he is the God of my salvation:
I shall have faith and not be afraid,
for Yahweh is my strength and my song,
he has been my salvation.

Joyfully you will draw water
from the springs of salvation


The response is repeated over and over again.

On this day, June 8, 1995, I received the Morning Offering Prayer. (located at the end of this message)

Also I received the vision June 8, 1995, on the Falmouth Farm.


On the day June 8, 1995, I had the following vision. I saw a river and the riverbanks on both sides were lined with trees. Slowly the water began to rise in the river and the banks were flooded. And then I saw the water was pouring over the treetops (like a waterfall) into the river. The rough sketch enclosed is from my notebook on June 8, 1995.

Messenger: I remember the vision June 8, 1995. I saw the waterway and then the water began to rise and rise and then it was pouring from above the trees.

I thought after Falmouth flooded, that this happened because of His displeasure that His Blue Book messages were not made available at the Falmouth farm.

The Blue Books lead people to Him in the Eucharist. He promises great grace to those who go to the Eucharist in love and stay after Communion.  He promises those life-giving waters granted to the soul. I feel He uses life-giving waters many times as a symbol of His flowing grace.

In Deuteronomy 10:20-21, a first reading in the votive Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, it refers to the great and terrible things God has done.


Deuteronomy 10:20-21

Yahweh your God is the one whom you must fear and serve; to him you must hold firm; in his name take your oaths.  Him you must praise, he is your God: for you he has done these great and terrible things which you have seen for yourselves;


I see the great and terrible things with the use of water in the Scriptures.

The floods of Noah were used to purify the race who were disobeying God.

God parted the Red Sea so Moses could lead the Israelites across the sea to freedom. Those that opposed Moses were buried by the waters of the sea.

I see John the Baptist baptize with water. And I see the life-giving waters flow forth from the pierced Heart of Christ.

I see the mural in China, Indiana, at our Center.

New Eve and New Adam

Christ the High Priest hanging on the cross

Messenger: I see the life-flowing waters of Lucia's vision with the words grace and mercy.

Messenger: I saw the waters of Falmouth destroy so much in a little town where Mary chose to appear. His Blue Book messages that would lead people to the Eucharist and the tabernacle were blocked there.   The town was flooded.  The water became POLLUTED WATERS.

I see the Lady appear in CLEARWATER, Florida, on the image building to lead the world and the Church into a greater appreciation of the Eucharist. It is there and from there Our Lord wishes to lead priests more and more to consecration and the priestly newsletter. It is there the messages from heaven cry to the earth. It is through the hands of consecrated priests offering Mass that great grace will flow.

We are still being blocked regarding these materials that talk about the Eucharist and consecration and the reign of Jesus Christ the most Sacred Heart.

This weekend the Sacred Heart has asked us to honor Him before the Blessed Sacrament for three days of adoration at our Center in China, Indiana, beginning on the Feast of the Sacred Heart, and to honor Mary's Immaculate Heart on the Feast of the Immaculate Heart. The 3rd day, June 13, 1999, is the Feast of St. Anthony and the day after the end of our 108 day novena begun on February 23, 1999.

The vision I see now resembles the flood at Falmouth (a terrible thing) but also it reminds me of something I recently read in Revelation 22:1-2.


Revelation 22:1-2

Then the angel showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear. Down the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations.


Messenger: Approximately twelve times a year we honor God in a special way on the 13th of the month as requested by Jesus at our Center in China, Indiana.

Jesus calls China His Eucharistic Center. He has promised great grace to those who come and pray there before the Blessed Sacrament.

In messages given in the Blue Books (December 20, 1993 and in March, 1994) Jesus referred to His Blue Book messages as the mighty medicine.

I feel the intense prayer that we do on the 13th of each month at China, Indiana, (unless another place is designated by Jesus) is a healing balm for the world. We all gather as a body and pray intently with all our hearts for our priests and the Church and the world for many hours. This helps to bring down grace for our world. The Lord has told us this.

The Father gave the following message January 5, 1999 from beneath the image.


The Father speaks: (January 5, l999)

It is because of your fervor to pray here that you have held back the hand of My Son from punishing the earth with just punishment for the crimes committed against your God.


Messenger: Jesus is the King.

All the power is in Him.

The power is in the Eucharist.

He is the mighty medicine for the sick world.

We invite you to come to China, Indiana, on:

June 11, 1999 - the Feast of the Sacred Heart after 12:30 p.m.

June 12, 1999 - the Feast of the Immaculate Heart

June 13, 1999 - the Feast of St. Anthony and Anniversary of 2nd apparition at Fatima.

June 14, 1999 - until 11 a.m.

We will have three complete days of adoration and prayer.

If you cannot come this 13th, please join us in adoration in your own home town.

Jesus speaks: Please help spread this material to the world, the Blue Books, Mass Book and the priestly newsletters, all the Rosary Books and consecration material, message January 22, 1999, and pray the prayers I give you (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).


The following Imprimatur applies only to the Morning Offering and not to the message above or below.

Morning Offering (for Shepherds of Christ Members)

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.

Imprimatur: Most Reverend Daniel E. Pilarczyk
Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati
