                    Let there be no strife
                between us for we live for
                God — we want to do God's
                will and be empowered —

                    What good does it do
                when God blesses us with
                a purpose to do His
                work and we do not do
                what He wants with our
                gifts and talents —

                    He lends them to us
                to do His work —

                    We do not own our
                gifts — He gives us even
                our children on loan

                    Jesus the Son of God
                died for our sins —

                    God blessed those who were
                obedient to them.

                    Abraham was obedient
                    Noah was obedient

                Many women in the Bible
                    were barren and yet
                    God gave them children —

                God wants obedience
                God gave directions to all
                    these prophets

                God is testing the human race —

                He expects us to obey —

                    God blesses those
                who obey Him

                    God made a covenant
                with the human race —

                    God showed them the
                rainbow as a sign —

                    God gave us the Virgin
                Mary building — It is the
                responsibility of many to help us —

                The building payment is
                due Friday about
                        $10,500.00

                Last month we had to come
                    up with extra money
                    for the building and the
                    payment — 

 

Our Lady of Clearwater

  

   

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

October 13, 1917

    I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)

    While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:

    As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. (18)

17. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., p.7.
18. Ibid., p.8.
 

     

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

Yes — All the ends of the earth have seen
the power of God.

 

     God has called us to be united as a family in
the Shepherds of Christ.

     This is a vocation — to pray deeply for
the priests, the Church and the world and
to help support the Newsletter and the
Ministries.

     Remember the image of Our Lady
of Clearwater on the building. We have
very special Fatima statues so you can
have a special place of prayer in your
homes, praying the rosary for your family
and for the priests, the Church and the
world. If you are interested in these
very special Fatima/Clearwater statues
e-mail me with your phone number
and address 
info@sofc.org.

     Those using the special statues
will be united to us in a special way —
We want you to pray the Shepherds of
Christ prayers for the priests, the Church
and the world from your special place
in your home.

     When people have set up a prayer corner/niche
with this statue, Fatima/Clearwater glass, they have
reported that their families have received special
blessings. With this statue it is important to pray
the prayers in the red prayer manual and consecrate
your home and family to the Sacred Heart and
Immaculate Heart.

Call Sheila or Doris about statues or go to China or
Clearwater.

                God tested the people over and
                    over again —
                    so they would do things for
                    the big plan —
                    not out of selfishness

                Mary served the Lord
                Mary obeyed God

                Are our motives pure?
                Do we act in jealousy?
                Do we provoke others for
                    selfish reasons —

                We must want God's will first —
                We act for His honor and glory not
                    for vain glory

                Many times we cause problems
                    for ourselves because
                    we don't love ourselves or
                    think others love us —

                If people have pressure and need
                    to focus on a solution to
                    a problem — they may not be
                    attentive to others because
                    they have a problem —

                Others must pray to see the truth
                    about how others really feel and
                    not judge them by their
                    actions under pressure —

  

Genesis 9: 11-17

And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.’ 

    ‘And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.’ ‘That’, God told Noah, ‘is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.’

God’s Blue Books

God’s Blue Book 1 – Messages given by Jesus to Rita Ring. Jesus tells us how precious we are to Him and how He loves us.  He is with us this day, so close.  He is a person who longs and waits for our love. He wants such union with us.  These are His teachings to lift you up!  Tapes are available with messages and songs given from Jesus.

                                                                                                           $10.00

God’s Blue Book 2 – Messages given by Jesus to Rita Ring. Jesus is on fire for us.  Rita saw a vision of Jesus’ Heart on Dec. 17, 1991.  The power is in the Eucharist.  The power is released when hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.  Jesus wants His beloved souls to pray before the tabernacle and after Communion.  It is in praying to Him at these times that we become very close to Him.  His Heart is an endless furnace of burning love on fire for each of his precious souls.  He wants union with us.  Only in the surrendering of ourselves to the will of God can we be close to Him. Tapes are available with messages and songs given from Jesus.                                            $10.00

God’s Blue Book 3 – Messages given by Jesus to Rita Ring. Love God, love one another.  He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  How can we say that we love Him when we do not love one another?  Each person was created by the Father.  If we do not love our brother, we are not loving His creation.  We are the lights that shine in this world.  Jesus loves us so much, He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. He remains with us in the tabernacle, and we take His gift so lightly.  In this book, He tells us about His immense love.  He asks us to rid ourselves of hate and anger and to love our brothers.  He talks about Mary.  Two rosaries are included.                                                                                        $10.00

God’s Blue Book 4 – Messages from Jesus and Mary. How they love us!  Mary appeared to me everyday and I knew from these writings more about Jesus’ love for Mary and Mary’s love for Jesus and Their love for us.  This book is a beautiful message from the Two Hearts and it includes rosary mediations from Mary and Jesus.  This book really talks about Their pure love and how we can love more purely.

                                                                                                           $5.00

God’s Blue Book 5 – Jesus wants to be so united with us.  He is the bridegroom of our soul. In living deeper consecration to the Two Hearts we can love more purely.  This is a book about pure love.  It is awesome. It has many rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.  Some writings are also from Fr. Carter.

                                                                                                           $5.00

God’s Blue Book 6 – Jesus and Mary appeared everyday giving these rosaries.  We can receive tremendous grace when we pray them with a candle.  Some writings are also from Fr. Carter.  This will help you grow in the spiritual life when you pray these rosaries.
He Calls Us to Action – This book is a call to action. He gives us His love and He sends us into the world to spread this love to others. We cannot hold back. We need to pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten us and to give us His courage to carry out the plan of the Father. Holy Spirit transform us from fear to fearlessness. He is one in us. Minute-by-minute, second-by-second, He provides for our needs. Hear His soft voice all through the day say,
I love you, I love you, I love you.

     I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 

     A good tree produces good fruit. 

     A bad tree produces bad fruit. 

     We have sent 6,000,000 Priestly Newsletters to the hierarchy in 14 years to which there are 10” of letters from hierarchy in the Vatican, Cardinals and Nuncios around the world – 

     Our main focus is the Priestly Newsletter. The secondary purpose is the Shepherds of Christ Prayers. We have the Prayer Manual in 7 languages with the Church’s Imprimatur and a network of prayer chapters formed over the world in 14 years spreading the Consecration to the Sacred Heart and Mary’s Immaculate Heart. 

     We spread 250,000 homemade rosaries and consecration cards, rosary meditations with the Imprimatur in 4 languages to grade schools in the United States every year since about 1995 when the school rosary program began. 

     We visit nursing homes and prisons conducting prayers in the rosary, morning offering and the prayer manual for the priests, the Church and the world – 

     We pray 24 hours a day before the exposed Eucharist for this mission, the priests, the Church and the world and the diocese. We have prayed all day for this for 11 years in China, Indiana. We conduct 8 days of retreat a month, 4 days in China, Indiana and 4 days in Florida – singing songs of the Word, Psalms, read Scriptures, and homilies and writings of Fr. Pasquini, Fr. Joe (Rita Ring’s brother) (a priest 44 years) and Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. founder, doctorate, writer of the Shepherds of Christ Movement – Author of 19 books on the Spiritual Life and Rita’s spiritual director while the Movement formed. 

     Fr. Carter said the Blue Books were as much his as Rita’s – he discerned these writings and all published. 

     The fact 10” of letters from Cardinals and Archbishops in the last 2 years – thanking us for what we are doing and saying they pray with us and for us must show something of the main focus of the Movement the Priestly Newsletter and Prayer Chapters praying for the Priests, the Church and the World – The Prayers are in 7 languages – The Holy Spirit Novena in 4 languages and prayers of Rita Ring have the Imprimatur – 

     The Mass Book in English and Spanish has the Imprimatur in both –
Likewise the Parents and Children’s Rosary Book sent to all Catholic grade schools in the United States many years ago. This also translated in English and Spanish with the Church’s Imprimatur – 

     3 Jesuit doctorate theologians checked all of Rita’s writings while Fr. Carter wrote the Priestly Newsletter in 2 languages approved by his Jesuit provincial. 

     We recently received the Imprimatur from the St. Petersburg diocese for the Italian prayers – 

     The bishops and archbishops over us communicate with us. 

     The Messages of Rita Ring are about the Mass, Baptism, the Word, Prayers, Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Adoration, the Rosary – 

     These writings some messages are about these things and Fr. Carter discerned the Blue Books, Apostles Manual, Rosary books etc. and it was checked by the Jesuit theologians. 

     Rita is under the guidance of several priests and her cousin is the censor in Cincinnati for the diocese. 

     The focus for the Shepherds of Christ is the Priestly Newsletter and Prayer Chapters, the Rosary. 

     The building in Clearwater has been the seat of 10 years of prayers at 6:20 about 2 hours daily for the priests, the Church and the world – Also prayers at 12:00 and 3:00 everyday and the diocese allows us to have a private Mass in the building on the 5th and we communicate with the diocese through a designated priest. 

     For 10 years the building in Clearwater has been the seat of spreading the Newsletter to all who come all over the world for the prayers in the prayer manual in 7 languages with the Churches Imprimatur – Images of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart – the Saints – Consecration packets for homes, the rosary coloring books for children and other religious goods to spread prayer, devotion to the Eucharist, consecration – 

     Fr. Pasquini has published 7 books in the past 2 years under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing on the spiritual life for the hierarchy and priests, nursing homes, fallen away Catholics, the Eucharist, Catholics about their faith – Cardinal Poupard President of the Vatican last March wrote to him and wrote a 2 page Foreward for his book Ecce Fides endorsing the Shepherds of Christ. 

     We circulated over 2 million newsletters in the past 2 years to the hierarchy and priests and 100,000 books of Fr. Pasquini’s with Fr. Carter’s books to which the hierarchy responded in 10” of letters. All this was done under the direction of Rita Ring. 

     Rita Ring has led this Movement since 2000 when Fr. Carter died. She has led it with me, John Weickert and several priests for 8 years – to produce these fruits –

     Fr. Carter set up the Movement with Rita Ring co-founder of the Shepherds of Christ and he saw everything was as it is today before his death. 

                                                          John Weickert 



                                                          President, Shepherds of Christ 

P.S. Rita Ring’s Blue Books that have been published have been out since late 1993 to January of 1995.  The first 3 Blue Books have been out 12 to 14 years now and Father Carter discerned her writings 4 times up to the time of his death, December 18, 2000. 

The last 6 years of his life he mostly spent instructing Rita daily and directing her, saying daily mass for the movement, much of it in China, IN, and he made her do the directions to run the movement - which she never understood until he died.  He was with her most of those last 6 years running the movement with her.
