 Prayer for Grace for 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 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. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry

My Bridegroom,

    I love You my Bridegroom, give us what we need to make Your light known on the earth, my Bridegroom. Please I plead from the depth of my soul for this, my Bridegroom, my Bridegroom, my Bridegroom. Please help us.

 

April 2, 1998

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry

My Bridegroom,

    The model is the all perfect heart of the woman clothed with the sun. Mary is the beauty, she is the pure and Immaculate one. This pew indeed is a gift, I have been close to Him in this pew. I thank You, for today, today I see the sun shine, tomorrow I may see a dark and cloudy day, today You have given me the gift of Your life within me. When I receive Him I receive His Body, His Blood, my desire to be most like Him. The desire of my heart is to be pure and holy like the Lady clothed with the sun. So today it is shining, this sun, in my heart, the Holy Spirit has filled me with His light and I can see into the dark corners of my heart as never before. I see the pride and the selfishness, I see that constant focus on the self. I see the selflessness of the Savior, Jesus. I see the woman clothed with the sun and she speaks, "Thy will be done." I see Eve in the garden, Eve said, "My will be done." I see Mary the New Eve, standing tall adorned in a crown of 12 stars and she speaks, "Thy will be done." I see the angel and I see the handmaid of the Lord, the angel speaks, "Do not be afraid, Mary." Mary says, "Not my will, but Thine be done."

    Harmony you say, this will be the days of peace when the wills of men are conformed to the will of the Father.

    But let us look at the will. He commanded us to love God, love one another, yet we see the woman in the garden chose her own will. God gives us freely our will. He wants our love willingly. Would it be love if we were forced. He teaches us that love gives freely, He gives us our freedom.

    In no way is a person in the Shepherds of Christ Movement forced to stay. A child in a family is taught about God the Father's will by the way the child is taught to obey the earthly father.

    A little family - our family.

    A bigger family - the family of God the Father, a life in the spirit in which we are children of God.

    Genesis 3: 20 The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.

    A physical mother, our mother, too, tainted by sin, we learn from our mother about God.

    Many families today, do not teach the ways of God. Many do not see what they should see.

    We see birds, we do not see the Creator. We watch the seeds increase and multiply. The Word must be planted in the hearts of men.

    Our job is to lead children to God. To bear fruit for the kingdom.

    We see the married couple, the olive plants about the table, we do not see the royal banquet, the Father's table in which He feeds us the banquet for our souls the Body and Blood of Jesus. 

    I say this to you my beloved brothers and sisters. We live in families with fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters but we do not see and learn about the kingdom of God. The Bible teaches us the plan of the Father.

    The Father is the Father of this family, we are one family living according to the Father's will. Our Mother is our heavenly Mother Mary, she is all pure and Immaculate.

    The rules given to live by are given in the ten Commandments and His Word.

            - I am the Lord thy God thou shall not have any gods before Me.
            - Remember thou shall keep holy the Sabbath day.
            - Honor thy father and thy mother.

     "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it." (Luke 8:21)

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry

My Beloved Spouse,

    I give myself completely to Thee, my most precious Savior and I want only Thee, that I can most beauteously serve You and bring forth Your truth.

    I give this problem to You and I trust in Thee.

    I surrender totally to You my Bridegroom.

    I write for service of You for I would rather sit and be with Thee.

    From the depth of my soul I cry out to You, all for God's glory, give me direction, fearlessness and peace.

    I do not wish to do this task. I want clarity in thought and direction to do Thy holy will.

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

April 4, 1998

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry

My Beloved Spouse,

    It is You I love, that You will live and dwell in me and I will by Your instrument. That we will know oneness in You. Tender love I feel in You now, the tension is gone, I dwell in Thee. 

 

April 5, 1998

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry

My Bridegroom,

    My desire my Bridegroom is to feel good. Today it is Passion Sunday. It is the 3rd year anniversary of the 5th prayer meeting when the public were asked to come.

    So what is Your desire for me and Fr. Carter today. This is what You want for us today to share in Your Passion. It was the will of Your Father that You suffered and died. It is the will of the Father that we suffer today, thus we suffer. It is His will that we find acceptance to His will in suffering and in joy. So the question becomes, what is Your will for me today Father, help me to live it, in suffering and in joy.

    To identify with Jesus, we live as He lived. My heart is united to all in our core group. Unity is found in the heart, not in the physical placement of my body. I love You Jesus, You are the Bridegroom of my soul.

 

My Bridegroom,

     I wish to be Christ-like. I opened the Blue Book III to this:

    "You must look to Me for your lessons on being Christ-like. I love every single person. I love every soul today. I would die for each precious one today. I exclude no man. You waste so much time doing senseless tasks that are so unloving. Pray to have Me open up your hearts.

    "You do not even know how you offend Me. Pray to be Christ-like. Pray to love as I call you to love. Love is the key. You will learn to love from Me and Me alone. Come to Me and let Me open your hearts to the love of God. There is no club. You are all My chosen ones. I would die for each of you. I shed My blood for your brothers. Love them, all of them!"

 

April 6, 1998

This is a Spouse of the Lamb Entry

    My intense love for Thee my Lamb, to see the Lamb I have seen since childhood, but to know what this image means to my soul, how the word Lamb is so precious to Me. How I have seen myself through this Lent assume the role as a spouse to Thee. This is what I crave, it is the things of the Most High, life with Thee and Thee alone, oh my Beloved. This is life, it is life in You.

    I was overwhelmed with the love of God and I broke out silently in my soul in tongues and the fire within me just burned for love of Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit. In knowing God and knowing the 3 Persons – God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It was as if the fire filled my heart. I see the golden hollow hew of the flame, experiencing this overwhelming oneness of God and the joy of each Person with this yellow, whitish, tannish beautiful color I cannot describe. I see like the inside of a flame on a fire, but I cannot describe it, it is not anything that exists here. It is as if I was inside the fire which came from the tongues. I was speaking silently within myself to the Holy Spirit, but it was with no concentrated action on my part, it was flowing from within me as He possessed my soul and did it within me.

    Is this not what tongues are. They well up in the love that is felt for the Divine God and they are expressed flowing from the being with a rhythm of the Spirit, action in the soul.

    The soul is open and willing at the out set of the grace wishing only to experience the Divine, begging in the soul's heart for this mystical favor that the Divine will find favor with the soul and act on the soul.

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

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

     It is indeed a mystery, for each experience is so unique flooding the soul with the greatest secrets into the mysteries, none of which would be accounted by pen and paper for the experience is such a gift from Thee.

    Yet in my feeble heart wishing to please Our Lord and express a minute part of the happening I attempt to describe a one second particle of the experience.

    Oh that I could play it on a violin as it truly happened, but who can describe the beauty of the Carpenter as He graces a soul with His presence and makes me cry.

Jesus: I act in the soul of the just as I see fit. I am indeed the Initiator, the soul is the recipient of My favor. The experience I gave to you is a one second experience of the eternal flame that will burn in the hearts of men.

    For when the body is united to the soul there will be eternal bliss. The body will be absorbed in the act of giving love eternally to the Divine God. You will exist being one in the presence of God all three Persons in unending love. Go now My child I will act in thee.

 

My Dear Bridegroom,

    I want only to be so one with You as I feel You now enter my soul. I want union with You.

    I did not want to write for others surround me. I want only to be alone and in Your presence. I write for You my beloved ones at the request of our Bridegroom.

    I am where I am, of late I have felt sufferings and this Passion week of Lent, what would we expect when we know how He our Bridegroom suffered for our sins.

    We should have a time of remorse knowing how much He loves us and how we take all His gifts for granted.

    Oh He wants love and He wants us to want Him. I want to love Him this is my greatest delight to be forever one with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    We do indeed take even our health, the beautiful weather, the air, the water, the functioning of our body for granted.

    Do we see how our Divine Master lets all things work for our good to draw us closer to Him.

    I saw yesterday, my delight, how I struggled intently with suffering in division between me and one I love that God has called to help in this mission.

    I see that the devil wants to stop us and our job here, all of us who are diligently working to spread His love and pray for His priests, our Church and the world.

     My Bridegroom, I love You and I love what You love so I want to please You. I want to be in harmony with You.

    My Bridegroom, You are one with the Father to be in harmony with You, I must live in His will, this is my happiness, my Bridegroom, happiness is found only in You, my Beloved, living in the Father's will.

    Eve thought eating the fruit would bring happiness, when in fact we suffered for her act of willfulness.

    The fruit looked good, she reasoned no harm would be done by eating the fruit. The devil tempted her in her head.

    Is it not that we must listen to the promptings of our hearts to dwell in His Heart and Mary's heart. My Bridegroom, it is in living in the Father's will.

    God wants us happy, happiness is achieved in being like Him. This is our all consuming desire to LOVE and to be like Him.

    My Bridegroom I give this prayer to You -

    Please give me the grace to love. Please give me the grace to know Your will and to do it. Please help me through this moment of uncertainty by flooding me with Your grace. I really want to be like You Lord. I want to live always for the honor and glory of God. Help me in this moment of uncertainty to choose the way that will please You the most. Not my will, but Thine be done.

    I love You Jesus, let me feel You now inside my heart. Let me feel You presence with me. Holy Spirit guide me. Father, I am Your little child. Mary Immaculate place me in your pure heart and intercede for me to the Father in the name of Jesus. I love you. Amen.

 

April 7, 1998 A letter to Jesus from China

My Bridegroom,

    I want You. I want my friends too. You have confined me to time alone with You, not talking needlessly on the phone. You have made me realize now my commitment is to my son. He is 13 almost 14, if I am busy with others who will teach him what I am supposed to. This world has run amuck. It has veered so far from the truth. I see You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. My son needs me. Your movement needs Your messages and needs You. I can go back to a message, November 5, 1993 Blue Book I when You told me to care for my children and tear the phones from your walls and plug them in Your Sacred Heart. There are those in our lives we need to be intimate with. I can give the world Your messages, I cannot take care of all of my friends as a private messenger. This causes me great suffering because I love my friends so much. They are holy people and I see You in them. I can only do so many things in a day. I have certain people our Lord wants me to be most intimate with. God is giving us a great gift in these messages. I cannot be a messenger and busy outside of myself with too many people. I must do His will, no matter how hard it is. I am but one person, confined within a body, with so much time in everyday. God in His might and with His grace acts through me. There are so many apostles You have called, they must assume their role as apostles. That is why they must follow the Apostle's schedule. Nothing is of any account if we are praying heartless prayers and praying so hard we drop over. The Spirit must flow in each person. Their primary purpose in the Movement is love of God. If the main focus of any member is not a personal relationship with Jesus, that person is a threat to the Movement. It must be that each person lives first for love of God, second love and service of one another. Look not to the deeds accomplished, but to the love given according to the Father's will. All is to live according to the Father's will giving glory to God. If the main focus is self-promotion, to make myself feel good, to feel good as a person because of my great task I have accomplished, we will have tremendous problems in the Movement.

    This is Jesus' Movement, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd of the flock, no one is in control but Jesus, all authority is under Him. The main focus is to love God first and love others always living in the Father's will.

    Many times we give ourselves false messages telling us God is telling us to do something when we want to do something.

    All good deeds are not God's will. If they were, I would be playing the organ at daily Mass and teaching school.

    God's will is found in the quiet moments we spend alone with God when we can hear Him speak softly in our hearts. If we are too noisy, always talking to others on the phone, we are stopping the flow of the Spirit to act on our soul and communicate to us. Enough talk is enough talk, needless talk leads a soul away from God, not enough talk may hurt our children.

    What is God's will for me. There are only so many hours in the day. I cannot be a best friend to every person physically. In my heart, I can be most intimately connected to as many in the Movement I love so dearly.

    It is with the desire to walk in His footprints that I say God is truly with us. He wants us to pray the consecration at the hours of 3, 6, 9, 12, at these hours we unite most profoundly to Him and to the Mass. At the other hours we stop and pray for a few moments, thus again we are invisibly connected in a most profound way in Their Hearts.

    It is time to put aside the busy talk, to quit focusing on satan, to love and trust each other, to go to Jesus and get our messages from Him, to ask Him for the grace to be like Him, to love like Him, to do the will of God.

    He calls us to be imitators of Him. This is our goal to be Christ to others as He lives in us.

    This takes sacrifice and discipline, it takes putting aside those messages we give ourselves that promote our will and not God's. It takes holiness. We must pray with all our hearts to know, love and serve God. This is our focus, to be as Christ wants us to be following in His footprints, for He is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.

    We must put aside our selfish ways and serve Him as He wishes us to serve Him in selfless, undying, love, rooted in living in the Father's will.

    We truly praise, honor and adore You our Savior, we give You our wills and surrender ourselves to You. Thank You for the gift of Your life. Amen.

    I must state clearly, older children and others can put a guilt trip on us to get us to serve them, younger children are truly our responsibility. We must pray for discernment to do God's will.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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 Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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 - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

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 - The Word Alive in Our Hearts
Inspiring Homilies covering partial year of Cycle A by Fr. Joe Robinson

Audio CD - Read by Father Edward J. Carter
$ 10.00  plus postage

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

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ–." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
