Prayer for Grace for Election and our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace for this election, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray.

 

                R. Dear God, we ask for Your pardon for
                we have sinned against You who
                are so worthy of our love.

                We are sorry for what we have done
                in being selfish and hurting others,
                in ways we have thought only of
                ourselves and did not give the love
                and example we should have given
                before others.

                Dear God please forgive us for being
                unloving and selfish and help us now
                in our battle against the dark
                forces that come against us.

                Thank You God for Your forgiveness
                and for Your mercy. Thank You God

                in this building where Mary's image
                appeared. We are the poor banished
                children of Adam and Eve.

From 23 Years Ago
 

Use Your Talents                                                     

October 3, 1993 Chicago Marian Conference 11:30a.m.

Jesus: I am your Savior, Son of the Living God. I come to you that you might have life, not as the world gives you life, but My life which is life eternal. I carved you from My special carving and made you little less than an angel. I love you and cherish all the moments when you, My special child, come to sit with Me. I wait here and I hope you will choose to come, but I never force you. Your will is totally free and I give it to you because of My love and the will of the Father. I inform you in numerous ways. You do not have to guess and wonder. Come be with Me in this silence and all you need to know will be told to you. Your life is unfolding as a beautiful rose. Each petal falls and you plant My odors about as I so desire. I make your life full and sure as you trust in Me. No need for worrying, My little flower. My ways give you freedom if you listen to your heart. I am a personal God and you know Me as giving you fullness and life. You know there is some magnetism to Me and the way you crave to be part of Me. This is the work of the one, true God Who created you with a thirst that can only be quenched by Me. All roads that lead to Me give you fullness, worth, peace and joy, not as the world thinks, but as you yourself know true peace and joy. When I really touch you, you do not remain the same. I shed My Blood for you that you will have the life only I can give. What friend in this world would die for you? You, My child, were worth My dying for. I came that you will have life eternal and the gift I give is My Precious Blood for your sins. Come to Me in trouble and when you are bowed down. Come to Me in joy. Come to Me every day that you live and I will give you all you need. Seek to know Me more and more. Knowledge of Me, being with Me, are the only way to perfect peace. They lead to eternal life.

I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly. Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents.

Do your own work. Don't be envious of your brothers. Don't hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother's work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it.

Do not hide your talents. Praise your God Who gave you these talents. Embrace and use them. This is not pride. This is My plan. I love you. I give to each of you, My precious children, as a mother who buys special Christmas gifts for each child. To buy gifts all the same for all your children is not to respect their specialness, their individuality.

Oh, I love you, little ones, so much. Please come to Me. I am so good and I wait to be with you and share My love with you. Come now. This is your top priority. All else will work when you come to Me first. I love you. You are My chosen children. Come and be filled and I make your loads light and I fill you with the Spirit of Salvation.

All roads that lead to Me are the right roads. Praise Me for I am good and I love you, little dear ones

John 19: 25-27

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

 

 

Excerpt from Mother at Our Side by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Mother At Our Side
 

   "In an utterly singular way she cooperated by her obedience, faith, hope, and burning charity in the Savior's work of restoring supernatural life to souls. For this reason she is a mother to us in the order of grace." (Vatican II).2

   Mary is the Mother of Jesus. She is also our Mother. The above words of Scripture and of the Second Vatican Council attest to this.

   Jesus has given us Mary as our spiritual mother. As He hung upon the cross, Jesus told John to look upon Mary as his mother, this John who represents all of us. In His moment of deepest anguish and suffering, Jesus was thinking of us. As the indescribable physical pain racked His body from head to toe, as the unfathomable spiritual anguish penetrated to the depths of His Heart, Jesus was thinking of us. If we allow this scene to penetrate into our hearts, if we take the time to contemplate the depth of Jesus' and Mary's love for us as Their Hearts were pierced with grief, we are truly overwhelmed with the magnificent greatness and tenderness of the scene. Jesus was proclaiming Mary to be Mother of the Redemption. He was telling us that Mary is Mother to all peoples.

   The fact that Mary is our mother, the fact that she has such a powerful role to play in our salvation in no way detracts from the mediatorship of Christ. Vatican II states:
 

   "We have but one Mediator, as we know from the words of the Apostle: "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself as ransom for all." (1 Tim. 2:5-6). The maternal duty of Mary toward men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. For all the saving influences of the Blessed Virgin on men originate, not from some inner necessity, but from the divine pleasure. They flow forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rest on His mediation, depend entirely on it, and draw all their power from it. In no way do they impede the immediate union of the faithful with Christ. Rather they foster this union."3
  

   In saying that Mary is our spiritual mother, we are saying that Mary is the mother of our Christ-life. What is this life? Can we define it?

   At Baptism the Persons of the Trinity communicate so intimately to us that, as a result, they leave their imprint or image upon us. This Trinitarian image is our life of sanctifying grace. This life of grace is a created participation in God's life, and since this gift of grace is mediated by Christ in His humanity, this Trinitarian image also has a Christic aspect. Christ as man has shown us how to live a God-like existence. He has shown us how to live the life of grace. This life of grace we possess allows us to enjoy the special presence of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Truly, the divine Persons dwell within us.

   Whether we refer to this life as the Christ-life, the life of grace, life in the Holy Spirit, or by other names, we are referring to one and the same reality. This reality, again, is the Christic, Trinitarian image given us through the Trinitarian communication.
 

   St. Paul speaks of our life of grace in terms of our being baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus (Rom. 6:1-11). Again, Jesus mediates our life of grace. He has shown us how to live a Christ-like existence. Since Jesus' paschal mystery of death-resurrection sums up His own human existence, so it sums up our own. This is what St. Paul is telling us. Paul tells us that we live our life of Baptism, our life of grace, by continually dying and rising with Jesus—rising to a greater share in Christ's resurrection. Indeed, we live resurrection now and hereafter. Living death-resurrection involves all of our Christian activities. While not giving an all-inclusive list, we do include the following: the reading of Scripture, prayer, the performance of daily duties, the doing of penance, making sacrifices, our jobs, periods of rest and relaxation, sharing meals with loved ones, reception of the sacraments, and, especially, participation in the Eucharist which is both sacrifice and sacrament.

   This is our glorious existence made possible by God's great love for us and a major truth of this glorious existence is the fact that Jesus has given us Mary as our spiritual mother. Mary is the Mother of our Christ-life. In her loving, maternal role, she cooperates with the Holy Spirit in forming Christ in us. Pope John Paul II tells us:
 

   "The Church knows and teaches that all the saving influences of the Blessed Virgin on mankind originate from the divine pleasure. . .This saving influence is sustained by the Holy Spirit, Who, just as He overshadowed the Virgin Mary when He began in her the divine motherhood, in a similar way constantly sustains her solicitude for the brothers and sisters of her Son.''4
 

   Mary our mother is ever with us, guiding us, teaching us, caring for us, protecting us, loving us. With her maternal assistance we go to the Father through and with Christ in the Holy Spirit.

   Mary nourishes our growth in Christ with a very tender and specialized love for each of us. She regards each of us as a precious, unique individual. John Paul II again speaks to us:
  

   "Of the essence of motherhood is the fact that it concerns the person. Motherhood always establishes a unique and unrepeatable relationship between two people: between mother and child and between child and mother. Even when the same woman is the mother of many children, her personal relationship with each one of them is of the very essence of motherhood. For each child is generated in a unique and unrepeatable way, and this is true both for the mother and for the child."4
 

   The Holy Father then applies these ideas to Mary and us:
 

   "It can be said that motherhood in the order of grace preserves the analogy with what in the order of nature characterizes the union between mother and child. In the light of this fact it becomes easier to understand why in Christ's testament on Golgotha, His Mother's new motherhood is expressed in the singular, in reference to one man. Behold, your son."5
 

   This is the awesome and consoling truth—you and I are very precious to Mary. She loves us much more than we can ever fathom. It is our great privilege and responsibility to love her in return. She asks for this love, she asks for our trust. As we give our love and trust to our mother, she wants us to come to her at all times and in all circumstances.

   Are we sorrowful, anxious, troubled? Let us go to Mary our mother and ask her to console us. Let us ask her for the grace to handle our sorrow, our anxieties, our troubles properly—according to God's will. In this way our suffering will bring us closer to Christ as it simultaneously allows us to contribute to the ongoing Christianization of the world.

   Are we joyful, happy, basking in the glow of a goal successfully accomplished? Let us go to Mary and ask her to help us handle our joy, our happiness, our success as God intends. Let us petition her not to allow our joy to make us forgetful of God, our God Who is the source of all true joy, success, and happiness.

   Are we finding it particularly difficult to follow Christ in the here-and-now? In child-like trust we can approach our mother. Let us ask her for the grace to realize that the following of Christ is not always easy—that at times being a follower of Christ challenges our courage in a special way. We can also ask Mary to help us realize that even at such difficult times, Christ's grace makes our burden relatively light. Jesus has told us:
 

   Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
   Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
(Mt.11:28-30).
 

   Are we finding it is particularly easy to follow Christ in the here-and-now? Let us go to Mary and ask her for the grace to remain humble. Let us beseech Mary to keep us from being inflated with pride, and ask her to help us realize that without Jesus we can do nothing.
 

   Mary, then, asks for our complete trust. She wants us always to seek shelter under her maternal mantle. She invites us to come to her in all circumstances—whether it be in joy or sorrow, success or failure, laughter or tears. Mary wants us to share in her maternal wisdom so that we may understand how to use our various experiences to come closer to God in Christ. Sharing our lives with Mary in this fashion, and on a consistent basis, requires that we love her, that we trust her, that we surrender ourselves to her maternal love.

   Help us, Mother Mary, to probe ever more deeply into the depths of your love for us. Help us to realize more and more that to be loved by you is to experience a sweetness, a warmth, a tenderness, a serenity, a security, which makes us cry out, "O Mother, how good and loving you are!"

Mary And Our Personal Uniqueness
 

    "Of the essence of motherhood is the fact that it concerns the person. Motherhood always establishes a unique and unrepeatable relationship between two people: between mother and child and between child and mother. Even when the same woman is the mother of many children, her personal relationship with each one of them is of the very essence of motherhood. . .

    "It can be said that motherhood 'in the order of grace' preserves the analogy with what 'in the order of nature' characterizes the union between mother and child." (Pope John Paul II).6
 

    We have already used these words in the previous chapter. We repeat them here for the purpose of discussing the concept of personal uniqueness. Each of us is unique—a unique reflection of God. Out of each one's uniqueness flows a special God-given mission. Cardinal Newman observes: "Everyone who breathes, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work. We are not sent into this world for nothing; we are not born at random. . . God sees every one of us; He creates every soul, He lodges it in a body, one by one, for a purpose."7

    And as Pope John Paul tells us, we each have a unique relationship with Mary. She loves each one of us very dearly, each in his or her own uniqueness. She knows each of us has the awesome privilege and responsibility of allowing Christ to live in and through this personal uniqueness. As Mary cooperates with the Holy Spirit in forming Christ in us, she works with the Spirit in assisting us to accomplish our personal mission in life.

    Each day we can strive to accomplish our mission under Mary's maternal mantle. Let us each day entrust ourselves to Mary's Immaculate Heart and dwell within this most pure haven. Here we feel loved, safe, confident, courageous in our efforts to act that day as the Father wills. Dwelling within Mary's Heart, we face our daily challenge of working with Christ to lessen the world's evil and to promote its goodness. Aware of Mary's special and unique love for each of us, we are strengthened in our attempt to accomplish our God-given mission in all the various circumstances of life within the human condition. Amidst joy and sorrow, success and failure, acceptance and rejection, laughter and tears—amidst whatever comprises each day's existence—we should rest secure knowing Mary is Mother at our side.
 

    We should not waste time bemoaning the fact that we do not possess this or that gift which another has in abundance. We have the gifts God intends for us. We have the gifts we need to accomplish our mission in life. Concentrate to develop these gifts for love of God and neighbor because how we use these gifts is what we will be judged on—not on the fact that we lacked this or that talent.

    I cannot accomplish your mission in life. You cannot accomplish mine. Each of us has something to give to Christ, His Church, and His world which no other can contribute. Again, this is an awesome privilege and responsibility.

    God has given us Mary so that she may assist us in living out this privilege and responsibility and we should daily ask her for wisdom to grow in the understanding of all that our mission involves. We should also petition her for the courage not to shirk the responsibility, but joyously to embrace it for the greater glory of God. With her mother's sense of pride, she wants us to succeed in fulfilling God's plan for us. The more we entrust ourselves to her, the more she places us with Christ so that He may live in and through us to further Christianize the world.

    Yes, the more we entrust ourselves to Mary our Mother, the more we will be able to live out the truth Cardinal Newman puts before us: "We are not sent into this world for nothing; we are not born at random. . . God sees every one of us; He creates every soul, He lodges it in a body, one by one, for a purpose."

                R. Dear God - we are sorry for when
                we gave into ourselves and
                blocked this enormous mission
                You have given us by focusing
                on ourselves and our
                fears and abandoning our
                past, manipulating things
                for our fears and our gods and
                not doing Your will, but our
                will instead, based on our
                fears and wants to control
                things.

                    Please forgive us what we
                have blocked by controlling and
                not doing what You wanted –
                what You called us to do and
                we did it our way because
                of fear or jealousy or anger,
                or pride –

                    Live in the moment –

                    Some of our life can be lived
                by living in fear from unhappy
                memories of the past and
                imagining what we might have
                to suffer today because we
                don't want any suffering and
                want to control people so they
                do it our way. God has called us to
                serve Him and do His will. Our
                actions must be based on His
                will – not our will to base our
                actions on our fears and need
                to control, based on our desire
                to control things out of anger
                and jealousy, envy and pride.
                What is my responsibility before
                God in the vocation He has
                called me to do today. Why do
                I need to have my agenda and
                force my isolating, controlling
                ways on others.

                Jesus says: Do what you are
                called to do because it is the Father's
                will – not based on your need to force
                your agenda and control, based on
                your anger and your fears and
                your isolating ways. I am God –
                do you serve Me or serve satan
                with your controlling ways –
                I have a plan, why don't you
                give Me what I want – what
                I asked for – Seek first the Kingdom
                of God – Seek the will of God.

                    Why do I try to even control
                the people God is calling, whose
                lives are chosen by Him to
                come here and be helped at
                Mary's site and the Church in
                China during the retreats. It
                can be you that want to isolate
                and control and keep others out,
                Jesus says.

                Jesus: Examine your motives
                why you want your agenda and
                not Mine. I am sending people
                who need help to the Mary building
                and on the 13ths – You may wish
                there is no one there. Why does
                Shepherds of Christ Centers exist?

                    This Movement exists to help usher in
                the Era of peace. Being at peace
                comes from doing God the Father's
                will.

                    Let My Divine Power run
                things. Let go and obey the
                Father's will. People are calling,
                you don't answer the phones,
                people come, you want them
                to not bother you so it will
                be your way. Like I do not
                know!!

                    Today is the day I give to
                you to love and serve God.
                Actions are based on the goal
                of eternal salvation for yourself
                and others –
                not fears, controlling ways you
                want to live for your comfort –
                Saying yes to God means obedience
                to God's will – Not controlling
                things and acting like you
                didn't. Open the doors to
                God's will – don't base your
                actions on fear, anger, pride,
                jealousy, envy and the need
                to control and have it your
                way, for your comfort!

                    Open your hearts to new insights
                to do God's will! Change your
                attitude to see the good in others –
                to see God's hands at work in
                situations that need help – not
                your controlling everything so
                you want no problems for
                yourself.

                    Haven't you learned what
                happened at Morrow? How
                do things grow if you rip
                out the seeds I send and
                want to plant? Your philosophy
                is you don't want any problems
                except your own will - which is
                your problems you have mulled
                over your whole life.

                    I call you to be Apostles,
                Handmaids, Servants,
                Associates – to work together
                to be "other focused". How can
                this happen when you don't
                work according to God's plan
                and don't even work with
                those I send to guide you, those
                I send to work with you –
                You want it your way –
                The phones aren't answered
                because you can't get past
                yourself - etc.!

                    Open the door so new ideas
                can grow. Seedless, barren,
                no fruit on the Vine. This
                was Morrow – You must see
                good in those areas I am
                sending in your life –

                    See with the eyes of God –
                stop sticking your head in
                a dark hole. Why have you
                already mapped out trouble
                that never has even come –

                    You see yourself and think
                working with others is an enemy –
                working with others is the greatest
                commandment – love of God,
                love of others, love of self –
                Working with others is how
                you prepare for your eternal
                salvation – heaven is not
                isolation and dysfunction!

                    See the light – open your
                eyes – see through the eyes
                of God – doing the same thing –
                over and over again, the same
                way – gives the same results –
                haven't you learned that yet?
                You don't stay the same in
                the spiritual life – you either
                grow or you go into deeper
                darkness.

                    What is in your thoughts –
                seeking God's will and His
                plan for growth or shutting
                down so you can wallow
                in your self-made problems –
                A lot of energy is used mulling
                over your isolated ways.

                    Are you a man for others or
                do you dedicate your lives to
                your closed down attitude
                and darkness?

                    I am light – in Me there
                is no darkness. Perfect love
                casts out fear. Do you trust
                anyone – including Me –
                Are you shut down and
                out to lunch like you have
                lived most of your life.

                Life is for living – One day
                at a time – for giving – for
                forgiving – for loving – for
                trusting – for working as
                one with your brothers I
                have called in love –
 

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

6. R. On October the 8th, I was awakened with the sound of Our Lord and He was speaking to me as you hear someone mumbling or however to describe I do not know, but it was His voice and He said, “Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine.” And He repeated it as if someone was in the room. And saying it again and again, I heard the words, the words which sounded very angry, and He repeated these words over again, “Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine.” And He repeated them again and I was very tired and did not want to get up. And it was as if someone was in the room and they were very angry, and the words kept going over and over and finally I sat on the floor as I do when I know Our Lord is about to give me a message. And I tried to write exactly that first line that He was giving to me, for I was sleeping, and I tried to write it just exactly. This is how He wakes me many times. From a deep sleep, I will hear the word of Our Lord, it is a word that is very, very strong and He is repeating it over and over and over again until I get out of the bed and I write it.

    My life has become very, very busy, and much of the time has been spent in prayer, and He has given lights as never before, lights to unveil the meaning in the Scriptures. It is so clear, the scriptures and how it is involved with this age of the Two Hearts, when we analyze what is going on here in terms of the messages that God has given. It comes immediately to light. I shouldn’t use the word analyze. It’s the Word that I read and it burns within me with meaning of the new era that is about to come, the new earth, He calls it in Revelation, the time in which His word will be planted deeply in the hearts of men, in which they will live and God will be their God. They will not be plagued by false gods, for they will know Him with greatest clarity, and to know Him is to love Him and to not want false gods. But the people now are walking in darkness. From the sin of Eve, they have walked in this darkness. And they do not comprehend or they could never do what they are doing to offend the Almighty God the way they do. The Almighty God deserves honor and glory and love and adoration. And He is truly present and with us in the Eucharist - this church, let us ask Our Lord to be in this church with us in a special way. Let us feel His presence as we do before the Exposed Eucharist. It’s a beautiful monstrance. Let us ask Our Lord to be with us in a most special way during this rosary. For this is what He wants with the Shepherds of Christ Movement - He wants centers of Eucharistic adoration in which people will come and they will adore and love and honor Him. He is our King. He deserves to be honored here. We should kiss the sanctuary where He is present. We should bow to Him and long to be with Him. Oh, God, our God is truly present, the Lord of Hosts is here and He is with us this day, and many churches are locked and He is ignored and people talk after church and they run out. They are a people that are walking in darkness. And the time is here.

    This age of light is approaching and it will come throughthe consecration. For as people give their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign and her Immaculate Heart will Triumph. And so, we are spreading this key that will unlock this great age of light. This Shepherds of Christ Ministries, which is the third anniversary of this Ministry, was born on this day with a message that Jesus gave to Fr. Carter. Three years ago today, Jesus gave Fr. Carter this message. This consecration will unlock the hearts. They will know God. You know how it is from praying the consecration.

The Birth of the Full Ministries of Shepherds of Christ,

October 13, 1994

‘My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, “Shepherds of Christ”, and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

    ‘I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

    ‘Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.’

7. R. 80 years ago today, the Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima and she gave a great sign. I would like to read the part that's in Fr. Carter’s Fatima-Medjugorje Book:

October 13, 1917

As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.

    After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.

    Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, 2

2. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.7-8.

R. Oh, here is the mouse, right by my feet. This is what he did the next day on May the 13th. I was praying by myself at the Holy Spirit Center at 5:00 in the morning. And I had a message on hell, and I had this sitting right there and I'm down there at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. There is nobody around, and it was real quiet and I was real close to Jesus, and this message is on the floor. This was May the 13th, 5:00, at the Holy Spirit Center before the main altar, and this big rat comes and he starts to crawl around my feet, just like this little one started to do. I thought, ‘Ohhh!’ He was real big and then he crawled around my feet, and this message on hell was sticking out of my notebook, when I was there, and the mouse walked right down the end of the message. And then I started to run and then I just left. I decided that I wasn't going to pray there that day. And then I told Fr. Carter about it. But anyway, there are all kinds of distractions to stop us from doing what we are doing. That same day, Fr. Carter came back with me to pray there and the big rat came again.

And so the sun began spinning in the sky.

October 13, 1917 continues

    Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.

    When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. 2

2. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.7-8.

8. Reference Luke 1: 36-37

R. And so, that morning that He woke me, I heard the words of Our Lord clearly, “Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine.”

9. R. And He came and the Word was made flesh. The word is to live in the hearts of men. He is alive. He is alive this  day and He comes to us in the Holy Eucharist. He comes to us in His Word. He wants to live and dwell within us. This is for the new era. The Bible talks about God living in us - in, in, in the Mass, in the age in which, as St. Paul says, “It is no longer I who live, but He who lives in me.” How is it in our Church today? How is it with the priests? Is the priest there and he is speaking of the God that lives within, in such oneness where we become one in Him and we are elevated to such heights of knowing and loving in Him?

Jesus: You have been called, My beloved ones, to be the apostles to help to usher in this new era. What is coming is not what is out there, for the old way will pass away and there will be a new earth. And it will depend on the seeds being planted within the hearts and taking root as God lives in them. I will be their God and they will be My people. And look at your world today. Do you see the gods of this earth? Even the intellect has been made a god for some.

R. We want knowledge - why? For more pleasure? We want knowledge to be better than each other? What is knowledge if it is not to give glory to God? Knowledge, itself, has become a god. Computers, are they used to give glory to God? To follow the plan of the Father? The television, what is our god? In the Bible He talks about this. In this message that Jesus gave me –

October 8, 1997

Jesus: Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine. I come to be heard and who pays Me heed. To a people of stiffs I address this issue, what think you when the water is gone from the trough?

    Do you think you will then worship the molten calf or will you be ready for surrender then?

    Oh, you thankless race, anger and wrath is the mind of your God. You do not worry, My messenger, for I am God and I speak to you. You think you are alone and I have chosen you. Your money is your god, oh people of Zion - your money in the pockets is the sound that brings you joy. What brings Me joy is the songs of the faithful, praising and worshipping God, but I go to the tent and there is the molten calf and an abased nation of stiffs, heartless and filled with fear. I beg of you to stop now before it is too late, but you do not know of the chastisement I have in store for you - it is under the plan of the Father.

    The children who walk in darkness carried a molten calf in their arms and the God of justice struck the earth. He struck you, senseless people, because you would not listen.

    I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. end of excerpt

R. He mentions this here, and what was said in the reading today, He said yesterday, He said that a great sign was given when He raised Lazarus from the dead and they did not believe. He raised a dead man and they still crucified Him. A great sign was given when Christ was crucified and He rose on the third day. Is it a sign that we want? The sign that Mary gave at Fatima that the sun looked as if it came crashing down to the earth and they didn’t pay attention. When God gives a warning, it is a warning. What comes afterwards when He tries to get our attention is nothing like the warning. He gives us a gentle warning, “I want these prayer chapters started.”

    The Priestly Newsletter Book is the key. It is the key that will unlock the hearts of the priests, so that God will live and dwell in their hearts. When they read the Priestly Newsletter, what ends up happening is they give their heart to Jesus and to Mary and He dwells in their hearts. The Priestly Newsletter is His instrument to help bring about this new earth.

    Mary said at Fatima that we must consecrate our hearts. 80 years later, this is the completion of the Fatima mission, through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. And in spreading the consecration to the children, in starting prayer chapters, we stick in the key, the key that will open up the door for people dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, in which He will live in them and they will live in Him. They must give their heart to Jesus and Mary in order for this to take place and this is what she said at Fatima. This is Jesus’ instrument for the completion of the Fatima message, for the renewal of the Church and the world.

    And we have been blocked and blocked and blocked and blocked, but if a sign is given, will it be a sign that will move the people? For His word is truth, and more and more as He speaks in these writings, He is unveiling the scriptures, as we consecrate our hearts. And the devil’s deadly influence will be no more, for His children of light are brought forth from the womb of the woman. There will be this great age of peace. It will be the age in which men will dwell in the Heart of Christ, and Jesus will be the King of their hearts, and Mary will be the Queen, and Jesus’ Heart will Reign and Mary's heart will Triumph.

    And what does Jesus speak? I hear Him. Jesus speaks of the barren race. Remember Elizabeth was barren, and nothing is impossible with God. Elizabeth was barren. The Light of the world was conceived within the womb of the woman, Mary, Our Mother, Jesus’ Mother, through the power of the Holy Spirit, and Mary brought forth a child, Jesus, Our Savior. And Jesus is the Light of the world, and above His bed, there shone the brightest star.

    And Jesus gave me the video at the Holy Spirit Center. In the video of April 17th, the message Jesus wanted me to deliver was about His true presence in the Blessed Sacrament, the sun pulsated in the video. For the age of light is at hand. And He will be in the hearts of the faithful more and more. The seed was planted in their heart and it grew on good ground and it took root. It did not fall by the way side and was not trampled on. It was planted firmly in their hearts. This is the age to come, the age of the Two Hearts - an age in which God will be their God and His people will love Him so much, where He will live and dwell within their hearts. God will be the God of their hearts. He will be worshiped and adored and honored and loved as the Father intended.

    We are this holy family, the family of the Father. And as the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads throughout the earth, this family will become larger and larger through the consecration, as we are all one in Their Hearts. We will love each other as brothers and sisters. And I know them in the depth of my heart. There is a great love that God has given to us for one another because of dwelling in His Heart. This is how the earth will be one. For the devil’s deadly influence will be no more and we will love as we dwell deeply in the Heart of Jesus.

10. R. This was the reading in the Gospel today, it says –

Reference Matthew 12: 38-42

R. This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Before Glory Be:

R. And so He continues to speak on October 8, 1997 and Jesus said in the “Seedless, Barren, no fruit on the Vine” message, Jesus: ... as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.

    My Words are your truth, yet you try to wash them away as hearsay and of no importance.

    My Word is the Word of God mighty and true. I have been ignored and defiled in My Word. I smite you, My senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless children of Eve.

    Debased, proud and dead, really dead in your hearts. I give you sunshine and rain and you want flowers and glory. The glory is Mine or I will have to continue to listen to the wailing widow, a barren branch, a company of stiffs. end of excerpt

R. There are some parts of this I will leave out.

October 8, 1997 continues

Jesus: ... Ignore Me no longer senseless ones. My hand is upon you. It will come down and wipe out the senseless virgins, the ones singing to the molten calf.

    Rachel could hear the slaughter of her children and she wept such bitter tears. The Lady Clothed as the Sun bore the barren race; they did not come to her grace-filled womb. The thankless race marched into a pit of doom and destruction.

    As I was pressed in the garden watching the days at hand, as I was squeezed, what came forth from My pores was the saving Blood for the children of Zion and when they ate from the land they feasted on rich food and strong drinks, the candy of the earth and it made them sick - sick to the death of their souls and the Lady Clothed as the Sun heard the cries of her sick children. I give you the medicine for the sick children in these writings and they chase you and make you fall to the ground. I watched you skin your knees when you carried the scrolls that contained My letters of love, My words from the depths of My Heart. You fell as I once did on the way to Calvary. I fell, I skinned My knees, My Body burned and I got up and went to the end.

    The end was the beginning for the children of Zion for at that hill My cross was planted erect, a tree of life, and the juice that was squeezed ‘till there was no more from the one “Son of Man, the Son of God”, was the juice of the Man. It was His saving Blood.

    They pressed Me in the Garden of Olives and I bled for the thankless race. They hung Me on a tree on the hill of Calvary. When I gave them the New Eve they chose the molten calf. They spit on My Mother, they ignored the visitations. She came and gave to the children to remind them of their covenant with God.

    Oh senseless ones, so many will now fall, for I hung there and to the right was one and to the left another. The one was saved; the other was cursed. You picked from the tree when you should have obeyed your Father. He gave you His will. He said, “You may eat of all the trees in the garden but not this one.” and you continually ate of the forbidden fruit. I warned you, My children, and you chased My messengers and made them run. I gave to you My Book of Life, My Bible, and you ate the sick fruit and it made you so sick you wanted to die but you kept eating when I told you the end was near and now that the end has come, what do you say for yourself? end of excerpt

 

The Visitation

1. R. In this, from Luke, it talks about the visitation of the angel Gabriel to Zechariah, and it says –

Reference Luke 1: 11-25

2. Reference Luke 1: 39-42

3. R. ‘Blessed’ we say in the Hail Mary. Always, the Lord is with thee. We say that the Lord is with Mary and then we say, ‘Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.’

4. R. When we go to the spiritual womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are formed, through the power of the Holy Spirit, more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus. We are the fruit of her womb.

5. R. Why did the Almighty God choose to come to this earth in the womb of a woman, a little baby, if it did not make any difference? He gives to us a sharing in His life, and we are brought more and more into deeper life in Him.

6. October 8, 1997 continues

Jesus: ... You ignored the Lady Clothed as the Sun. She appeared in all glory and splendor and so many months later so few go to her site to even see her. So is it My fault or yours our money does not come to publish your books and tell the world about the Woman in Florida? It is not My fault, I am God. I am the faultless One. end of excerpt

R. He is telling us that the woman that appears on the building in Florida is a great gift that God gives to this earth. I have seen that woman in Florida on that building clothed in sunlight. I have seen that moon as it reflects on the glass. Day after day, God gives to this world a permanent sign - the woman, the Virgin Mary appearing on the building in Florida.

7. R. I see that Elizabeth was barren, and then Christ was born, the Light of the world. The children of light will be brought more and more into deeper life in Him in Mary’s Immaculate Heart. Mary told us to give devotion to Their Two Hearts. We must continue to spread this consecration, for it is in this, that we will have peace in this world. The age of light is upon us.

    Look at our race. Is it bearing fruit or is it barren as Our Lord says? He starts this message by saying, “Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine.” And how will that change? How will we bring forth fruit? In dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. For the seed that was planted on solid ground was the seed that brought forth great fruit. But the fruit, the seed that fell by the way side was trampled on. It is in the consecration that His seed is planted deeply in their hearts. This will be the new earth, when God will dwell in the hearts of men.

    How do we speak of our God? Is it words that we utter with our lips? Is He somewhere far out there? That maybe we will take Him off the shelf someday? This is not what He has in mind. What He has in mind is that we live and dwell in Him.

8. Hail Mary

9. Hail Mary

10. Reference John 17: 5-23

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. The Word must be born in the hearts of men.

2. John 1: 14 The Word became flesh, he lived among us,

3. R. It is through Mary’s Immaculate Heart that we go deeply into the Heart of Christ.

4. R. There is not another way to go deeply into His Heart. We must go there in her Immaculate, pure, holy heart.

5. R. On this 80th anniversary of the final apparition at Fatima, on this anniversary of when Fr. Carter received the message of Jesus to start the Ministries in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, this is a great honor that Jesus has called us here, that we are to be the apostles of light that will help lead the world into the light. For no matter how hard it is and how we are pressed on, which is exactly how it is, Christ was pressed in the garden. And the end, in which He hung on the tree, was truly the beginning. And this is how it is in our life. Although He gave signs, raising Lazarus from the dead, they still hung Jesus on the tree. It is not in the signs that men will believe. It is in opening up their hearts and giving themselves to God, where they make God their God, where there is the willingness and the surrender to give their heart to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, there to dwell deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus. This is the age of light, the age of the Two Hearts. ‘The time in nigh,’ Mary said two days after she appeared on the building, and the Father asks that, that apparition in Florida be associated with the Shepherds of Christ Movement. For it is majorly through this Movement that the consecration will be spread throughout the world and the devil knows this. The devil knows of how many millions of souls will be helped through this Movement when they give their hearts to Jesus and Mary. If we think we have suffered already, it may only be a sampling. For the world is not responding to the messages of Jesus, which is to spread these prayers and to tell the people to pray.

    There are so many messages that we receive that are so strong. September the 22nd, this message, it started out, “Stiff-necked, stiff-necked, stiff-necked.” Jesus was strong.

    “There will be a new heaven and a new earth. The old order will pass away, for they worshiped Me with their lips only and their hearts were far from Me. I will rock the earth and bring the senseless men to their knees. They will learn to beg, ‘Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.’ ”

    And it continues, for Jesus does not like the way that many are responding. The Word must be within their hearts. We must pray more and more fervently and spread this Priestly Newsletter. This is the key! It is the key that will help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart. It is Jesus’ instrument to reach the priests, that they will become one in Him. And He is teaching them to be good shepherds in this Priestly Newsletter.

    And some of us feel like we are falling on our faces because we have so much to do. And the Movement spreads. It’s just going in leaps and bounds. Fr. Carter has heard from 24 bishops, Spanish-speaking bishops that want lots of Priestly Newsletters to spread to the priests in their diocese. There is so much that is happening as it is moving out across the earth. And the devil keeps picking off the people more and more, and it gets harder and harder to do what we have to do, and the money is less and less and less and less.

    And you know, does it matter if it cost $50,000 for the Priestly Newsletter Books? Or does it matter that the Father is saying that “This is the instrument that I am using in order to help bring about this new earth in which men will live in peace and love”? How are the priests going to go from where they are to where Christ is so one in them? The method God gives is the Priestly Newsletter. He will get their attention. The more we are blocked, the more we cannot do the work of the Almighty God and the more the world will suffer.

Mary appeared at Fatima.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima - by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

“During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

“You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

“The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. 12

“To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

“But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.” 13

12. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.4-5.

13. Ibid., p.5.

R. Mary gave the message of the war. And so this message came on Tuesday, on Wednesday, I suffered and suffered and suffered and I got a message for Fr. Carter that was so strong. I told him about it, I said all day, “Father, something is going to happen.” World War II happened whether people paid attention to it or not.

September 22, 1997

Jesus: “I speak through these messages and you continue in your stiff-necked ways. Would the destruction of your temples bring you to your knees? Or should I destroy My own houses? Or would they get the message anyway, if I burned them down?” end of excerpt

R. And He continues, and then He says what He wants. He wants priests whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, one in Him with their whole being, celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the grace will just be out poured on the earth. But how do you get from where we are to where it must be? Because in the other message that I got on the 8th, it sounds like He’s about finished. He said: should I give you more time, you had 2,000 years. Should I give you more time so you can use your intellects to go for bigger, pleasurable things? Are you going to turn?

    Then He says: well, should I knock down a church every Friday?

    So this happened, then after that, this is on Tuesday and Wednesday, and I knew something was going to happen, it was so awful, and then He says this: should I knock down My own temples? Should I destroy My own churches? What should I do?

    This is what He says in the message. And then on Friday, then there’s that basilica that is destroyed by the earthquake. Then the next Friday, there was another earthquake in that same basilica.

    And then He said in the rosary that if things do not change, He will continue to take action. This is serious - the fact that Our Lady appeared on the building in Florida. Do you realize that is almost a year ago? And the crowds dwindle. But what does He say? He doesn't want that to dwindle. This is in the message from the other day.

October 8, 1997 continues

Jesus: ... You want joy. I have no joy for the likes of you, My children of Zion, you have usurped My thrones and treated My body as rubbish. I am God. I come in the Eucharist and I am ignored. I speak no longer. The days that follow will be the days to cleanse this earth.

    I am angered beyond all anger for the way My Mother has been treated in Florida by the thankless race. They have worshipped the molten calf and ignored the Lady of Light, the Lady Clothed as the Sun, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing forth her children. The good will suffer with the bad; the wheat will be separated from the darnel (weeds). You walked like little stiff men with your haughty hearts. Your heads were your gods. I gave you great minds to comprehend My mysteries and you used your minds to worship false gods and make movies that defile My priesthood. What of your minds? I do not even have energy to tell you how unworthy you used the mind, the intellect I gave you. You used this great faculty to commit the worst sins, and My head was crowned with the sharpest thorns for your sick earth. Oh, you squeezed the Blood from the Son of Man. You pressed that Man in the garden, when He knew this race of this day.

    I now see the Woman on the building, My Mother, so loving to the children I gave her and the mean ones threw acid on her face. Oh, you race of vile hearts and thankless ways. I will clothe the holy ones in the white robes of glory. The thankless ones I will turn over to the red men that will hand them over to the keeper of the pit and their bodies will be burned in the burning sulfur of the pool of death. Come, My children of light, your Mother called you through the consecration. She showed you the way home to My Heart. She carried a lighted lamp and lighted your way in the darkness. You were not foolish like the virgins that carried a lamp without a light. Your light for the lamp was My life alive in your hearts. When the darkest night comes you will know the flames of My love alive in your lighted hearts, burning with the fire from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give you the fuel, My faithful virgins. I gave you the fuel to light your lamps that in the dark night that lies ahead, you will still shine as a beacon light, a light of intense brightness no matter how dark the night. You will not die for your refuge is the fire of the Sacred Heart and you gave your heart to the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate One and she took you to the Heart of your Savior. She took you home and you dwelt within the chamber of My Heart and you were protected from the evil one in these last days. end of excerpt

R. Our home here on earth is the Heart of Jesus. And how do we get to the Heart of Jesus? Through the heart of Mary.

6. October 8, 1997 continues

Jesus: ... You tried to spread this consecration. It is the key that leads to the place of refuge. So many camps the devil told men to prepare and they labored in vain, for the Word was had in dwelling in Our Hearts. You would find refuge and they missed the message and busied themselves with the work of the evil one.

    I say to you what refuge survived when Noah built his ark? Only those on the ark survived the great flood. You prepare your earth. When My Word was to prepare your hearts. Then again, they worshipped the church building, the grounds and the wood and their hearts were left as cold vaults. I beg you, My beauteous ones, to beg the men to prepare their hearts before it is too late. Only the Ark of the Covenant will be the means of survival in this dark age. When the moon turns to blood they will run away frightened and their buildings will be like cold vaults - only the hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will survive.

    You were willful and too busy to know the story. The story is this: There is but one home; it is the Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Mother is the gatekeeper. It is through her Immaculate Heart you enter. She is the singular vessel, a New Eve, a Woman Clothed as the Sun, a doorway to the everlasting abyss of Light, the Light of the World, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of the Son of Man.

    There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - many will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death. end of excerpt

Luke 2: 34-35

‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed—and a sword will pierce your soul too

7. R. On this 80th anniversary, let us promise Our Lady of Fatima to do all in our power to help to spread the Priestly Newsletter to the priests, to help to spread prayer chapters that people will consecrate their hearts, priests will consecrate their hearts, and school children will consecrate their hearts. For this is the age of light, the age of knowing God, in which men will love, worship, adore, and give glory to God. For He is God and deserving of all glory.

8. R. And the little King, the Almighty God, came into this world in great poverty. And Joseph knocked on the doors and there was not room for them in the Inn. And today, He knocks on the hearts of His beloved ones and their hearts are hard and cold and they do not have room for Him in the Inn.

9. R. And the sun came spinning to the earth at such at great speed that the people thought that they would die. And what He says is, is that the miracle comes every day: that the sun comes up and it goes down. And we cease to see our Creator and His hand behind these great elements. We do not open up our hearts, yet He controls the beating of them. And He is patient and He is kind and He is loving. But what, what is of most importance to Our Savior is the salvation of the souls. It is not whether we lived in castles, that we feasted on fine wine and ate the most delicious meals; it is for the sake of our souls.

10. R. So we see the Holy Spirit Center – the corner fell off in minutes and we see the flood at Falmouth. We see the earthquake in Assisi. There is World War II. Jesus wants us to turn our hearts to God. But we do not hear. He sends gifts, great gifts in His Mother coming to this earth. But we ignore her and the sign that He gives in Florida is defaced by acid and it is not frequented as it should be.

 

Our phones ring off the hook from the apparition in Florida. This is the way that we get in touch with the people of the world. He said in another message that the children of light will come from that site in Florida. Almost the largest portion of our calls come from what they are doing in Florida. The answer is that you are devoted as an apostle in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Is the Lord calling you to commit yourself to this Ministry? Pray about it. Can you help spread the prayer, whatever it is. If you are here this day, on October the 13th, the 80th anniversary of the Fatima mission, I believe that our Lord has called you here to help to spread this Movement to the far ends of the earth to turn hearts to consecration, majorly to help to spread the Priestly Mailing and the Mass Book, to pray with all your heart. This is a great gift, and along with this gift that He has given, much is being asked. For we are majorly being blocked, as it is, almost paralyzed, trying to do what we are doing. Please answer His call. Wherever you are, you know what He wants you to do to help to spread this Movement, the prayer chapters, the Priestly Newsletter to the priests. Help us - Spread the books to priests, spread the prayer chapters. One priest standing in front of the church praying the prayers Jesus gave us can help turn his church into a city of light.

 

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. Jesus has said that Fr. Carter is the pillar of light. We have sent out 85,000 Priestly Newsletters, centered in consecration every other month to priests and hierarchy. This will turn the hearts of the priests to consecration and help them to be good shepherds, ones that would lay down their lives for their flock.

2. R. And so, we see that Elizabeth was barren and she brought forth a child. And he said that all things are possible with God. Is this not how it is today that He is letting this earth become so barren in so much of the earth that it is at a point where you say, “Oh God, why do You not protect what You have planted? Why don't You come and help us?” And He says, “The sign is given. I have given to you, My beloved ones, a great calling. You are My apostles, My shepherds, that will help to lead the flock home to My Heart. For now they wander foreign lands and they will not find rest until they are securely home and dwelling within My Heart. I am asking you for the funds to help to publish the Mass Book. The Mass Book is crucial in helping that the faithful will come to the Mass and dwell in My Heart.”

    I see the Mass Book and it is red. And I see Fr. Carter, the little priest, within the Heart of Jesus. And when a priest is within the Heart of Jesus celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, he is so one with Christ and the grace is just outpoured on the earth. This is what happens when you circulate the Priestly Newsletter: Priests can grow more and more in the Heart of Jesus and grace can be outpoured on the Church. We are praying for the renewal of the Church and the world in these prayer chapters, every word chosen by God that will help to bring this about. We want the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

    We want the completion of the Fatima mission. We want the renewal of our Church and our world. We want churches in which the Blessed Sacrament is exposed and Jesus is loved and worshiped and adored on His throne as He should be. We want people to go to the Eucharist and long to be with Him and to love Him. Oh, I love God so much. What is there but to put your focus on Him? Can you see that in this church? Vision this, for I had this vision in this church: Jesus in the monstrance exposed and the pews filled with people giving Him the greatest honor and loving Him with their whole heart and their hearts filled with such joy for they are one in Him. This is when our souls are at rest when our hearts are in Him.

    And we carry, as He said, the molten calf under the tent, and He watches. And this will end when we spread the consecration. The Holy Spirit works in the heart of Mary and people will know God. Read the All Night Message in the Apostles Manual.

3. R. This is from December the 7th, 1996. It quotes Isaiah 30.

Reference Isaiah 30: 19-22

R. Here it is –

Isaiah 30: 22-25

You will hold unclean the silverplating of your idols and goldplating of your images.

You will throw them away like the polluted things they are, shouting after them, ‘Good riddance!’

He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing. That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.

Oxen and donkeys that work the land will eat for fodder wild sorrel, spread by the shovel-load and fork-load. On every lofty mountain, ...

R. This is the Mass.

Isaiah 30: 25

...on every high hill there will be streams and water-courses,

R. That's what will happen in the Mass. This great grace will

just be outpoured.

Isaiah 30: 25-26

...on the day of the great slaughter when the strongholds fall. Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight and sunlight itself be seven times brighter

R. Because we will see and know God.

Isaiah 30: 26

-like the light of seven days in one on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound and heals the scars of the blows they have received.

4. Hail Mary
5. Hail Mary
6. Hail Mary
7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

R. I’d like to sing this song, and as you sing this song, look at the statue that's above us. These songs were made for this church. And also, Jesus said that this church was for the Shepherds of Christ and He said that it had the Father’s thumbprint above the tabernacle and if you hear the Mary’s Message tape which says, ‘I stood beneath the cross of my Son and cried.’ In the mural over the tabernacle in this church is the scene Mary under the cross. This is the message on Mary’s Message tape, ‘I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried,’ and over here is the statue of the Blessed Mother holding this child that goes with the songs in the Song Book and then on the windows we have the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart and then we have the Eucharist on the next window and the crowning with thorns and then we have the Lamb of God. So, as you sing this song, look at these two pictures, the picture and the Blessed Mother with Jesus.

Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. We'll just sing the refrain and then go to the Coda.

Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

2. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet - refrain

3. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet - verse 1

4. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet - verse 2

5. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet - verse 3

6. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet - coda

7. R. And so He came forth victorious from the tomb, and it is this day that the light of the love of God will shine in the hearts of men when they give themselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It is His light. It is His life that is the fuel for the hearts that cast a light into the world. There’s a message in the second Blue Book and it is the same day that ‘The City Set on a Hill will Shine Its Light to the World’. And as we give our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and His light shines from us, we are like lampstands in this world. But the churches are like lampstands shining in the dark night when the hearts of the people within and the priest are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. His light is alive in their hearts and they are one in Him. And so, I see this vision of a church in the night with this bright light coming forth from all the windows, and it is a church in which their hearts have been consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Now, today, so many people are suffering and in pain and they go to the churches to find what? To find something to heal their wounds. And they are not finding what they need. The seed must be planted in the heart. The Word of God must be lived. It must be alive in the hearts where every word of the Word of God that is spoken is felt within the being of the soul that lives in Him. Our mission here is to be an apostle in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I think of the song that Jesus told me to sing Sunday, and I might not sing it right but it goes something like this.

Song: Come with me Into the Fields

R. And this is His call to us, for what we do in the Shepherds of Christ Movement will make the difference to the souls in this world. It will delight our Almighty God that longs for souls to live and dwell in Him. They will come to Him and worship Him and give Him glory. Every time I see a crowded exit off of the expressway, I just wish with all my heart that, that line would be a line that was going to the tabernacle of the Almighty God to worship and to love Him.

8. Song: Come with me into the Fields

9. Song: We Have Been Told

R. Picture yourself in bed and you are sleeping soundly and hear the word of the Lord spoken to you, ‘Seedless, barren, not bearing fruit on the vine. Seedless, barren, not bearing fruit on the vine.’ And on Sunday, we go to our churches and how is the Word of God spoken? Is it alive in our hearts? Is our whole heart in love with God? How are we at the end of Mass when there is not one person in the church except the ones that are talking loudly and God is there? There will be a new earth and men will worship God. They will bow to their knees and they will adore and love Him and glorify Him. And although you feel as if you have walked in muddy waters and sometimes you fell and you skinned your knees, God was with us and He breathed on our neck and He blew on our wounds and He said to us, “Thank you, My shepherds, for I love My people and I want them with Me forever in heaven. And they are a willful and a sinful race and I do not want to chastise this earth. I ask them to pray and My Mother called at Fatima some 80 years ago and she told them what they must do that there will be peace on this earth.” And she said, “You must pray the rosary,” 80 years ago. “You must do the first Saturday devotion. You must make reparation to Our Hearts.” “But,” she said, “that until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, there will not be peace in this world.” Did you go to Falmouth and did you see the homes, the ones that were filled with condemned signs? How about the vacant lots where the homes once stood for there were many and many and many and many and many? And she came, the woman. She came herself to lead the children to the light and to the Heart of her Son, and the plan was blocked that led to the Eucharist and to the Reigning of His Sacred Heart, that led to the Shepherds of Christ Movement. My fellow shepherds, this is Jesus’ Movement. And when we are blocked, they are blocking God! And so you squeeze and you squeeze as they squeezed on Him in the garden and His blood came forth on the ground! And you block the message Mary gave when she was appearing! And God will not be out-done! And the truth is in His Word, the Scriptures. Read the Word of God. Jesus is talking to us in these rosaries and it is penetrating deeply within our heart and our soul as He teaches us for the coming of this new earth.

    I beg you, peaceably, to help to spread the Priestly Newsletter Book. For it is the key that will unlock the stiffneckedness, that will plant the Word on the fertile soil that will sprout and bear great fruit. “Seedless, barren, no fruit on the vine.” And He will dwell in their hearts. It is great suffering to know what we know and to see the blindness when this is such a gift from God. He appeared to me at the point of death December 5th and He moved His mouth, and the Father spoke on August the 20th and He said, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him.” And He appeared as the most victorious Jesus as He appeared on this cross in this church in the greatest light. God is with us. His Word is His truth, and it must be planted in their hearts - where they love God with their whole heart, their whole soul, and their whole being.

Jesus: For this is a race that worships Me with their lips only.

R. And He spoke, the Father, and He said on January the 18th, and it was almost 40 days afterwards that Falmouth flooded, He said, “No where in human history have I been so offended as I am this day. Read the accounts of Noah.” The newspaper Fr. Carter and I saw was March 3rd that Falmouth flooded. From January the 18th until March the 3rd, He talked about Falmouth. When He opened the flood gates to flood this earth it was February the 17th which is the day of the first Blue Book meeting that I was told to hold - February 17th, 1994. On January the 17th, 1994, I got the message, I Want My Priests to Come Back along with the ‘Prayer for Union with Jesus’. This to me marks the beginning of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. And February the 17th, He called the first Blue Book meeting which was the first group that He called to live by His messages to pray, and it was the day that He opened the flood gates of Noah’s ark.

    There is but one refuge. And as He says in the message, none of the other refuges helped when He flooded the earth. There is but one refuge; it is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She warned and she said and she told and she has told this earth over and over and over again since Fatima, that we must go to her Immaculate Heart and the world is willful and they ignore her. It says in the Litany of Mary: Tower of Ivory, the House of Gold, the Tower of David. And He said there is but one refuge and you worship your building and your grounds and you walk the earth with cold hearts. We must spread the consecration to this earth. Our job is to spread the Priestly Newsletter which will turn the priests to consecration of their hearts to Jesus and Mary, and to start prayer chapters which Jesus gave to us so that this earth will consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Did anything else act as a refuge when He flooded the earth? It is her Immaculate Heart that will take us to our home.

Let us help. For we do not want a barren race, as He woke me saying, ‘Seedless, barren, not any fruit on the vine’. We are leading the children to Mary when we spread this consecration and when we go to heaven, these are the children that we led to Him. It will not be a barren race if we spread this consecration, for all things are possible with God. But He said the sufferings will get worse and worse and worse and we will be blocked more and more and more, and the ones that will survive as true shepherds will be the ones that read the Word. For the Word that He gives is the truth. He is talking to us and unveiling the scriptures. And so He says, ‘I am the Way. I am the Truth. I am the Life.’ We must live by the Word of God, it is our truth.

Song: We Have Been Told

Song: A Song from Jesus

R. And the Lord of Hosts is to be honored, adored, and loved. He is the Almighty God, the Son of God. And in Revelation, if you read Revelation 21, you will hear what He says, “I will be his God and he will be my son.” Rev. 21: 7

10. Hail Mary

Jesus: My message is I speak to you through My messenger, Rita. And the renewal of the Church will greatly come through the writings of My blessed priest, Fr. Carter. I ask you to pray fervently, for the days ahead will be days of great struggle for the Shepherds of Christ. It is in this: that priests are celebrating the Mass with consecrated hearts. The center that I give to you is the Holy Eucharist. I am asking you to help spread the Priestly Newsletter Book and the Mass Book to the far ends of the earth. My beloved ones have made money their god. The struggle is because of the selfishness of the people. I have called and they do notrespond. I give to you Myself and you act as if this is not enough. My foolish, foolish world, you are blind with mud in your eyes. Your hearts are cold and empty and I give to you a garden ready to sprout with the most beauteous flowers and an earth covered with green and the sun to light your day. Your hearts have turned to dirt. I am asking you, My shepherds, to be the light to this darkened world, to carry the light into the darkness, to spread this Movement to the far ends of the earth, to carry My consecration to the hearts that are cold and empty. You are the apostles I call. I do not call every person an apostle. You are chosen. Your Movement will spread to the far ends of the earth, and it will be full of associates. You are the chosen ones. Will you answer this call? Will you help carry the light? Will you help with the completion of the Fatima mission? 80 years later, I have called you. Will you respond to My call? I am Jesus, the Son of God.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012)
$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD.Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
