                R. Love God supernaturally –

                The Goal of happiness –

                Love of God –

                Sin makes us unhappy –

                Loving ourselves and others supernaturally

                Charity is a supernatural gift
                    from God –
                    that enables us to love God and
                    to love others - supernaturally –

                This love unites us with God –

                Charity is the highest of the virtues –

                God gives the grace

                    We must co-operate with the grace –

                    We develop good habits –
                        natural and supernatural –

                    We must love God – not in an
                        emotional sense –
                        but love God with doing
                            God's will –

                Our love of God must be first,
                    before all others –

                We are to be motivated by love
                    of God, others and ourselves –

                The gifts of the Holy Spirit are
               
        Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
                        Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
                        and Fear of the Lord 

                The fruits of the Holy Spirit are
                    charity, joy, peace, patience,
                    benignity (kindness), goodness,
                    long-suffering, mildness,
                    faith, modesty, continency,
                    and chastity

                Love of God, self and others –

                Love of God – giving to God what is His due –

                    This love is essential for eternal salvation –

                Love of self  – care for my own soul
                                    – care for my eternal salvation
                                    – care for my health

                Love of neighbor –

                    Commandments given by God

  4. Honor your father and your mother.
  5. You shall not kill.
  6. You shall not commit adultery.
  7. You shall not steal.
  8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
  10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

                    justice –
                    giving to others what is
                        their due

                There are sins of omission as well as sins
                    of commission.

                Hatred is the worst sin against charity.

                Our goal is to be more and more in the
                    image of Christ –
                    to grow to full Christian maturity
                        in Christ –

                We should learn as children about
                    obedience to God –

                Our bodies develop as a child,
                    as a teenager, as an adult –

                Our spiritual life is to develop
                    to full Christian maturity
                    in Christ –

                Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life –
                    Children need to learn to follow
                    Jesus as children, development
                    in the spiritual life –
                    So Mary and Jesus gave us these
                    rosaries – Coloring Books,
                    Parents and Children Books,
                    Consecration Cards, Rosary
                    Aves – Prayers for this stage
                    of development –
                    We need to circulate them –

                Children should learn to not sin,
                    to learn about sin and to
                    uproot the bad things they
                    do with the guidance of
                    parents, teachers etc.

                Children need to learn to obey, be kind,
                    not pout, that they are loved,
                    that they are special, learn to
                    work – not in competition with
                    siblings, but in unity with
                    brothers and sisters as friends,
                    working out problems, working
                    and playing with each other –

                Parents are to teach children about
                    love – how to get along, how
                    to be obedient to authority,
                    how to pray, how to share,
                    how to be just, how to
                    love their siblings – how
                    to operate as a team with their
                    family – how to go in the car
                    and get along, how to pray
                    the rosary together and go
                    to Church –

                Children learn about family,
                    love and unity, of trusting
                    others – of security –
                    of respect and honor –
                    of being nurtured by the
                    parents and loved –

                Children learn relationships in
                    the family of origin that
                    form life-long ways they
                    learn to trust, forgive, work things
                    out, work together.

                They learn about God.

                They learn about relationships –
                    what it means to be a woman
                    in a relationship –
                    what it means to be a man
                        in a relationship –
                    what it means to work as
                        a team in relationships
                        with others at home –
                    Intimate relationships –
                    feeling about themselves –
                    talking and communicating
                        and doing things for others
                        in love –

                Mary: The school rosary program
                    the family rosary program
                    the programs of consecration –
                    the prayers Jesus has given
                        for youth
                    the coloring books on the rosary,
                        the movies on the rosary –
                    Rosaries for home and schools

                    ALL ARE IMPORTANT


                The images of the Sacred Heart and My Immaculate
                    Heart are so important in the homes.

                The family that prays together
                    stays together –

                The Little People and Elderly and
                    Songs can help the child and
                    Grandparents –
                    Your home needs these aids –
                    Your children need the Parents and
                        Children's Rosary Book –
                        statues, rosaries,
                        pictures –
                    Rosary makers

                Your family should be a unit
                    of love in which children
                    grow learning trust and
                    obedience, acceptance, security.

                Your family teaches children about
                    relationships, communication,
                    fairness, working things out
                    in love, working as a team.

                Your family teaches children about
                    joy so you are happy in
                    life.

                Your family is a child's
                    best friend –

                The programs Jesus and I gave you
                    are so important to the
                    Church, family and school.
 

      

       

     

      

         

 

 


 
 

                Mary: Parents should teach children about
                    relationship that last –
                    in lasting love

                Relationships are to be everlasting –
                    where one is loving and
                    continues relationships in
                    eternity –

                Teaching them
                Mom didn't die, if she dies, mom
                    lives in heaven –

                Relationships go on in heaven –

                Love is not an euphoric feeling –
                    it is rooted in depth of
                    intimacy in the heart –
                    unity – building –
                    trust – honesty – honor –
                    respect

                Anger in relationships, holding
                    out is satan's play ground
                    that destroys trust and unity –
                    Tricks are games satan wants you to play –
                    satan wants you to have selfishness –
                    not being accountable
                    and responsible for one's actions –
                    can bring down a house –
                    Security is necessary for relationships to grow –
                    Communication is vital –
                    Having fun while you work on
                        things – doing work in
                        love –
                    Are you friends in the family?
                    Do you learn about trust
                        and friendship that counts
                        in the family –

                Children are being taught about
                    the Father's family of love –

                Learning happiness and unity
                    in the family of origin –
                    brings this into the
                    life of a child forever –
                    They are learning about
                        love, relationships,
                        God is first –
                        loving God, others,
                        themselves.

                Problems can be used to grow in
                    trust, communication, truth,
                    relationships and love –

                Life on earth is very short,
                    my children

                Look at this

                                                                                               Forever in eternity
                                                 
|––––––|————————————————————→

                                                 Birth      Death                                   REWARD

 

                Mary: Love takes an act of the will –

                Your life is so short

                Seek the Plan of God the Father –

                You are like children – learning
                    to love and reaching full Christian
                    maturity –

                Life is a journey, my children –

                See Jesus who came and lived a
                    quiet life –

                Jesus teaches children in schools
                    with His program –

                Song: The Rosary Song

 

November 4, 2013

 

                Song: A Song from Jesus

 

 

                Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

                Mary: Children learn in the home –
                    Children learn that parents
                    are angry and fighting and
                    competition.
                    Children can learn to fight too –
                        play tricks, be angry –

                My dear adults –
                    your life is a test – God gives
                    you – to prove you have learned
                    to love – heaven is a reward!

                Heaven is a reward for those who
                    loved and obeyed the Lord –

                R. We can see anger in the home –
                    but never giving a hug –
                    never looking into the eyes
                        in love –
                    rebellion –
                    dad is angry –
                    mom is angry –
                    children are angry

                Mary: And this is what some see
                    as normal and they try to
                    re-create this in every house –
                    my children – God is love –
                    God is good –
                    God wants you to know the fire
                        of His love –
                    Don't reject God –
                    Spread these letters of love
                        from Jesus –
                        from the pre-Blue Book
                        to Blue Book 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . .
                    Jesus gave these letters of love –

                I appeared in Clearwater to spread
                    these messages and rosaries
                    of love to ALL ages, to
                    ALL People, to ALL vocations.

                God has given you a great gift
                    to reach full Christian
                    maturity – no matter what
                    you went through –

                God the Father loves you so much –
                    He has given the apparition
                        in Clearwater –
                    He has allowed this gift on
                        the Mass and rosary,
                        homilies –
                        all of this for the
                    renewal of the Church and the
                        world – to learn
                        to pray, my children –
                        to learn to pray, my children,
                        to learn for future generations –
                        to build an order of Servants and
                            Handmaids of the Good Shepherd –

                God has given these writings to
                    help renew the Church and the world –

                God has given these Centers
                    for prayer – for buying
                    the statues with the glass,
                    the images, the rosaries,
                    the books –

                Listen to me –

                    I am Mary your Spiritual
                        Mother –

                Listen to me –

                    I am Mary your Spiritual
                        Mother –

                Listen to me –

                    I am Mary your Spiritual
                        Mother –

                Jesus gives you His Word –
                    He teaches you about
                        His relationship with
                        God and others.

                    Jesus teaches you about
                        your relationship with
                        God, others and yourself –

                You must live in the truth –

                You must learn communication
                    to have relationships

                You must love –

                The family should be so loving
                    and bring growth to
                    other relationships in
                    the Church –
                    Love

                Power-struggles where
                    authority is put down
                    and shown as weak –
                    when God has designated
                    just authority –
                    tears the place apart –
                    There is no growth

                Love is an act of the will –

                You choose to love –

                You develop loving habits
                    based on cooperating with
                    God's grace –

                Hatefulness is a sin –

                Unloving, hateful ways are
                    far from God!

                Love costs many times –

                Love gives –
                Love is constant

                Relationships take giving
                    and taking in love –

                Relationships are work –
                Relationships depend on God's grace –

                The Holy Spirit unifies –

                The Holy Spirit sends the fire of God's love
                    to those pleading for this
                    grace –

                The Holy Spirit gives you Wisdom

                The Holy Spirit gives you the gift of
                    counsel for the uncertainties
                    in your life!

Baptism of the Lord

1. Jesus is the New Adam.

2. God can give us very special
        grace from meditating on these
        Mysteries of Light.

3. There are three Persons in one God.

4. Study the picture at the beginning
        of these meditations.

5. We see Jesus, we see a dove
        above Jesus, which is telling
        us to think about the Holy Spirit.
        We know in this mystery, the
        voice of the Father was heard
        saying

This is My Beloved Son, in 
    whom I am well pleased.

6. From meditating on these mysteries
        of light, I feel I am getting
        special grace to know each
        Person of the Trinity more deeply.

7. In every moment I live, I have
        this deep relationship with the
        Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

8. Since the Holy Father gave us
        the direction to meditate on
        these mysteries my deep love
        for each Person of the
        Trinity has increased.

9. I know each Person Father,
        Son and Holy Spirit so
        deeply and love Them so
        very much.

10. God is with us. He has given
        us the Holy Father to guide
        us. God works through 
        those He puts over us.
      God wants us to have structure
        and to obey those over us who
        are living the way God wants
        them to live.

 

          

    

Marriage at Cana

1. God has given us the sacrament of marriage.

2. Jesus performed His first miracle
        at the marriage at Cana.

3. God calls people to different
        vocations in life.

4. Religious are called to a very
        special relationship with Christ
        through the vow of celibacy.

5. Through their sacrifice, Religious
        can help make reparation to God
        for the sins of the flesh in the world.

6. At the marriage at Cana, Jesus showed
        his support for community life.

7. At the marriage at Cana, Jesus
        shows us that we can ask Mary
        our Mother to intercede for us.

8. At the marriage feast at Cana Jesus
        changed water into wine at Mary's
        request.

9. Mary shows her faith, that she believed
        Jesus would handle the situation
        at her request.

10. We pray through the powerful
        intercession of Mary our Mother.
    

                   

 

      

Kingdom of God

1.  Luke 17: 20-25

Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, he gave them this answer, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation and there will be no one to say, "Look, it is here! Look, it is there!" For look, the kingdom of God is among you.’

He said to the disciples, ‘A time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of man and will not see it. They will say to you, "Look, it is there!" or, "Look, it is here!" Make no move; do not set off in pursuit; for as the lightning flashing from one part of heaven lights up the other, so will be the Son of man when his Day comes. But first he is destined to suffer grievously and be rejected by this generation.

2. One of Fr. Carter's favorite scriptures was

Matthew 7:21

‘It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven.
       

3. Fr. Carter spent His whole life
        learning about the spiritual life,
        writing about it as a holy priest
        of the Church and learning how
        to love his brothers more deeply. 
        This helped us in the Movement 
        to learn from all his direction
        how to love God and one
        another more perfectly.

4. We are building the Kingdom
        of God by how we love God,
        love one another and try to
        serve God by doing His will.

5. In many situations we can settle
        something selfishly or settle it
        in a way of love to help build
        God's kingdom.

6. Disobeying God's law is not being loving.

7. Parents need to discipline their 
        children in love and help build
        the Kingdom, by helping them
        grow into loving persons.

8.  We are sinners, we try to do what
        God wants, those in authority
        do what they do lovingly to
        build the Kingdom.

9.  Jesus obeyed His Father – He
        shows us how to be obedient 
        and He loved those under Him
        so much He gave his life for them.

10. We must do what we know God 
        wants of us in a loving way.
        It isn't loving to not do God's will.
   

  

  

Transfiguration

1. The bread and wine is changed
        into the Body and Blood of
        Jesus at Mass.

2. God can give us a grace to help
        change our hearts.

3. God wants us to cooperate with
        the special graces He gives us.

4. Jesus took Peter, James and John
        up the mountain.

5. Jesus was transfigured before them.

6. God gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist.

7. We can not imagine how beautiful
        our own graced soul is when
        we are in the state of grace.

8. Jesus wants our souls to be full of light
        and radiant with His grace.

9. God gives us the gift of baptism.

10. God offers us a special sharing in His life.

  

     

    

The Last Supper

1. Luke 22:19-20

Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

2. God has given the priests the
        power to change the bread and
        wine into the Body and Blood
        of Jesus.

3. Our priests today are being
        persecuted.

4. In parts of the world where priests
        are trying to spread Christianity 
        they are being persecuted.

        5. We do not know in many places
                of the world how very hard it can
                be for our priests in some areas
                where people don't believe that Jesus
                is the Son of God and priests are
                persecuted for teaching the truth.

6. The Eucharist is such a gift.

7. The devil doesn't want us to know
        how powerful the Eucharist is.
  

8.  The priests is a gift from God
        and the devil wants to do
        all he can to stop them.

9.  The Mass is so important to us.

10. The priest is so important to us.
        Jesus gave Fr. Carter this 
        Movement — Shepherds of Christ
        to pray for the priests, the
        Church and the world.

      These are the prayers Jesus
        told Fr. Carter to pray
        in the Prayer Manual —

  

  

July 31, 1994

"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)
