Messenger:        
 There is a point of destination.
                           
I tried to get to a certain Mass
                               
and there were so many reasons
                               
that blocked me from getting
                               
there.
                           
On the way I saw so very many
                               
wrecks.
The traffic was nonstop.
I saw many wrecks———
As I looked at the expressway
                               
from above I saw 275 was
                               
not moving at all and the other
                               
lane had been closed entirely.
                           
I could have traveled to Mass at the
                               
Hospital in many ways and I chose
                               
a certain way to get there
                               
from where I was.
                           
I saw a beautiful red car that
                               
was all bashed in.
                           
When we get up we can think of
                               
each day as looking in a box.
                           
We do not know what will be
                               
in the box that day when
                               
we open it.
                           
Satan tries many times to get
                               
our focus off of what we need
                               
to do.
                           
We may have to fight the temptation
                               
and not give into our impulses
                               
to get us involved in
                               
something that will surely
                               
block what we know God
                               
wants us to do.
                           
Some things we cannot control—
                               
like the traffic once we
                               
are in it, but we can
                               
control our thoughts and
                               
our actions.
                           
Satan doesn't want us to be
                               
productive doing God's work,
                               
but if we quit on something
                               
when we are being blocked
                               
we must know it will not
                               
get done by us if we decide
                               
not to do it.
Look at the whole world.
                           
Jesus came and gave His life for
                               
the souls.
                           
Every moment of our lives must
                               
be lived to help spread His
                               
Kingdom.
                           
We cannot give into frustration
                               
and feeling sorry for ourselves.
                           
We ask God—what do you want
                               
me to do?
                           
We try to accomplish what He
                               
wants.
                           
If we give into all the traps
                               
satan sets for us we will never
                               
get anything done.
I remember the writing from May 21, 1998.
Excerpt from May 21, 1998 messageMessenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

September 2, 2002 message continues
Messenger:       
Well I still tried to get to the hospital
                               
for Mass and soon after sitting
                               
in traffic and traffic and getting
                               
off, I saw signs that said
                               
hospital—all the way, signs
                               
to the hospital—lots of
                               
them—
                           
I thought Jesus surely wanted me at the
                               
hospital when on so many poles,
                               
down a road I did not even recognize
                               
I saw blue hospital signs.
                           
I followed them and felt I could see
                               
God watching me. I felt like I was
                               
in a labyrinth with orange barrels,
                               
stopped traffic and wrecked cars.
                               
There were flag men and people
                               
going every way.
When I finally arrived at the hospital
                                   
for Mass all the elevators were stuck on
                                   
floor 5 and I waited and
                                   
waited for the elevator
                                   
to open——
                           
I look forward to Mass all day, many
                               
times I go to two Masses because
                               
I want to pray for the priests,
                               
the Church and the world and
                               
the things we need.
Well I missed the Mass.
                           
I long to receive Jesus and I remember
                               
missing the Eucharist once when
                               
I was too late for Mass because
                               
of traffic where I was teaching
                               
college math.
                               
I went in the ladies room and I
                                   
cried.
                               
What is the meaning for me telling
                                   
you this?
                           
Think of what it would be like to not
                               
have the availability of the Eucharist.
                           
We take the great gift of the Mass for
                               
granted.
                           
I can see a problem like all the road
                               
blocks and all the traffic and
                               
the orange cones and the stopped
                               
elevators and crowded parking
                               
lots—they are reasons why
                               
I may not be able to go to Mass,
                               
but is the writing anymore plain
                           
than this, that there are fewer and
                           
fewer priests and less and less
                           
Masses.
                               
Many young boys are not being
                           
encouraged to even go to Church.
                           
Even in Catholic schools, the young
                           
men are not taught about the great
                           
gift of the priesthood and the great
                           
gift of the Eucharist.
                               
It is such an honor to have a man
                           
celebrate Mass, to be given the
                           
power to celebrate Mass and
                           
change bread and wine into
                           
the Body and Blood of Jesus.
FEWER and FEWER PRIESTS
LESS and LESS MASSES
                           
Oh I wanted to go to Mass so much, my
                               
day focuses on my attending Mass.
                               
I love the Mass so much, I love
                               
to go to Communion.
                           
We have the availability of lots of Masses
                               
in Cincinnati.
                           
Last summer, I went to Utah
                               
I had to travel almost 1 & 1/2 hours
                               
to go to Mass.
When I got to Mass I was so very grateful.
                           
I see myself, talking about lots of
                               
things.
                           
I see myself spending time on so
                               
many things.
                           
Sometimes we can talk too much,
                               
sometimes we can talk too little.
                           
I know this——this is constant—
                               
there are 24 hours in everyday
                               
and I am going to live only
                               
so many days.
                           
The children came and they grew and
                               
they leave the house to begin their
                               
lives in a new way.
Oh my people—Sunrise—Sunset—
                               
Mary has appeared now for almost 6
                                   
years on the building in Florida.
                           
We really need the payment on the building
                               
to keep reaching the priests and
                               
bishops with the mission Jesus
                               
gave to Fr. Carter to give them the
                               
Priestly Newsletter and begin prayer
                               
chapters praying for the priests,
                               
the Church and the world.
WE NEED PRIESTS!! WE MUST PRAY FOR THEM!
I wanted the Mass so very much.
                           
I felt as if I was going from one obstacle
                               
to another to get to Mass and
                               
"guess what" I didn't get there.
                           
The world is headed in this direction—
                               
more and more communion services—
                               
less and less priests—
                               
less and less Masses.
                           
Do you believe that with the state the
                               
world is in and the problems
                               
we have struggled with in the
                               
Church, that it is so severe
                               
that God gave us this vision of 
                               
Mary which appears to be
                               
permanent on a finance building
                               
in the sunny state of Florida where
                               
there is so much nudity and
                               
so much entertainment that
                               
is not what God wants.
                           
Do you believe, Mary, all pure, would
                               
come to the state of Florida where
                               
people travel to from all over
                               
the world.
SHE IS THE LADY CLOTHED WITH THE SUN
                     
MARY HAS APPEARED IN SUNNY FLORIDA NOW FOR
6 YEARS 
                                                                   
(ALMOST)
MARY IS THE LADY CLOTHED WITH THE SUN.
MARY IS MOTHER OF THE CHILDREN OF THE EARTH
Mary appeared as the Lady clothed
                               
with the sun in sunny Florida.
  

  
Revelation 12: 1-2
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
September 2, 2002 message continues
Messenger:       
Where would you think the Lady Clothed
                               
with the sun would appear, if
                               
not sunny Florida.
What about light—
the ability to see facts—
the fact that our Masses are dwindling—
                           
the fact Our Lord asked Fr. Carter to begin
                               
this movement to pray for
                               
our beloved priests—
Do we see—
Fewer and fewer priests.
Do we pray for our priests!!
Do we pray for our world!!
                           
Do we pray for our Church!!

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."

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
My dear fellow Associate Members,Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:
My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.
These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.
I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.
I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.
I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.
This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:
- For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
- For the Pope.
- For all bishops of the world.
- For all priests.
- For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
- For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
- For all members of the Catholic Church.
- For all members of the human family.
- For all souls in purgatory.
