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.

 
 

                Jesus: I am light, in Me there is no
                    darkness.


                 I am love.


                You have a free will to love
                    and to have a heart
                    likened to Mine.

                If today was the last day of
                    your life how would you live
                    it?

                R. Christ paid the price for our sins.

                God made us.
                God created us.

                God made us beautiful – in
                    His image and likeness.

                God commanded us to love Him
                    and to love others as
                    ourselves.

                We are accountable to God how
                    we loved God first
                    and how we loved others
                    as ourselves.

                Love is a choice –

                Jesus shows us how to be –
                    to have the vision of
                    the heavenly Father.

                We choose what we think all
                    day.

 


 

               
R.
God wants me to give love –

 God wants me to love Him above
   all else

 God wants me to love my brothers.
 God wants me to take care of
   my spiritual life –
   my health –

                God wants unity, harmony

                Satan is darkness

                    Satan wants disorder –
                    Satan wants a person stubborn
                    Satan wants division
                    Satan wants a person to hurt
                        others

                    Satan wants a person to provoke
                        others

                A man of virtue is a happy man

                    Faith
                    Hope
                    Love
                    Humility
                    Prudence
                    Temperance
                    Fortitude
                    Justice
                    Obedience

 





 

                A man who is locked in vices is
                    an unhappy man.

                    Angry
                    Prideful
                    Envious
                    Jealous
                    Slothful
                    Lustful
                    Gluttonous

 





 
  A man has a free will to do
    God's will or
    be undisciplined, selfish
    give into satan and be
    unloving, disharmonious

 

 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

 

                R. Giving of oneself to God
                    is giving

                A person that gives more and more to
                    satan has all this negative
                    energy –
                    to hold out            to be disharmonious
                    to punish               to be envious
                    to hate                  to be jealous
                    to be prideful         to be angry

                Then they don't even want to say
                    thank you –
                    say a nice thing –
                    be grateful –

                The heart becomes hard –
                    the more selfish a person
                    is –

                God wants us to live in the truth –
                God is absolute truth

                God is light
                We follow Jesus
                Jesus is love –

                Jesus' heart is on fire for
                    love!

                The Blue Books are about
                    God's love –

 

The Assumption

R. ... First of all when we pray the Litany we pray to the Lord, I could go into a lot of detail of this, but I’m not going into it. We pray to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and then we pray to the Holy Trinity and we ask Them to please have mercy on us. Then we start praying to Mary, and the first three things that we say when we pray the Litany to Mary is Holy Mary, which is we are talking about her Immaculate state, then we talk about her as Holy Mother of God, then we talk about her as Holy Virgin of Virgins. So the Shepherds of Christ prayers, in praying the Litany, will majorly do what Mary said at Fatima, because over and over again it is said in there how we must help to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart and the Heart of her Son. So Jesus told us, because the Shepherds of Christ Movement is to help bring about the completion of the Fatima mission, Jesus told us the prayers to pray. We help make reparation to the heart of Mary when we pray the Litany. We honor her so greatly in her holiness and her motherhood and in her virginity, which are the three things that she is blasphemed against which is why there are Five First Saturdays. What we are to do on the Five First Saturdays is to help make reparation to her heart at Communion time. The reason they said to do it at Communion time is because that’s the time we are most one with God, and so therefore the greatest reparation is made. But when we recite the Litany we are immensely making reparation to her heart for the blasphemies that are against her heart.

1. R. In the Litany it calls Mary, Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church, Mother of Divine Grace. This just sends shivers inside of me, that she is the Mother of our sharing in this Divine Life. That is what she is called in the Litany, Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church, and Mother of the Divine God. Mary is Mother of our Christ Life. Then she is called Mother Most Pure. This refers to her Immaculate Conception by calling her most pure, we are saying she is the purest of all. Mother Most Pure, so we are honoring her in her Immaculate Conception where she is blasphemed by so many. Mother Most Chaste, she has the highest chastity, Mother Inviolate, Mother Undefiled, not marked in any way by sin, she is immaculately conceived.

The Father says this is My Mother, and He has referred to Mary as His Mother because she is pure, Immaculate, she is the Mother of God, the Mother of His creatures. There is no other mother that is the Mother of God, there is no other mother that is the Spiritual Mother of His creatures, so He refers to her as My Mother, My Mother for My creatures. Mary is the mother picked by the Father, the Mother of Divine Grace and then they go further and they call her Mother of the Creator, which means Mary is the Mother the Creator chose to bring forth His children. Mary is My Mother. Mary was chosen by Him to be the mother of His Son. Mary is the Mother of our Divine Life. No other mother holds this title.

He revealed this to me yesterday, how pleased God is when we pray the Litany, and it is exactly what the Father said in those messages that we need to do because He says that He will lessen and/or cut off the chastisements entirely if we make reparation to Mary’s Immaculate Heart. In the Litany we honor Mary as Mother, as Holy, as Virgin. All we know is that God gave these prayers to Father Carter and this is His instrument to help renew the Church and the world. But the more They tell us secrets to the mysteries, the more our heart burns for these insights. So many times what we end up doing is focusing on the way that satan is working and we are not focusing on the great gifts He has given us. This immense grace to have this intimate relationship to God. Mary appears to me and then I focus on something that satan is doing and isn’t that how it is in all of our lives. We go to the Eucharist and He gives us this abundant outpouring of grace and we are intimately close to Him, and we walk out of the Church and something goes wrong, and then we are focusing on the dumb things that satan is doing and not on these immense great gifts that God is really doing and revealing Himself in the greatest intimacy to us.

2. Hail Mary

3. R. Mirror of Justice, Mary is the mirror, she is the person that most reflects the Lord.

4. R. Seat of Wisdom. The Holy Spirit dwells within her heart. She is the Seat of Wisdom.

5. R. Mary is the Cause of Our Joy. For it is through her that we unite in the greatest intimacy with God. Mary is the gateway to the Heart of Christ and it is there that we unite in such oneness with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

6. R. Spiritual Vessel. Mary is the vessel that leads us to life in the Spirit.

7. R. For the Holy Spirit works within Mary’s heart, for Mary is a spouse to Him.

8. R. Vessel of Honor. Mary is the vessel that leads us to this life in the Trinity. Mary should be honored. Vessel of Honor.

9. R. Mary is the Mediatrix of Grace.

10. R. Singular Vessel of Devotion. Mary is the only one that is Immaculate. Mary is the only one Mother of God, Mary is the only one Mother of Divine Grace. Mary is called Singular Vessel of Devotion, Mary is the woman chosen by the Father. Mary is the Singular Vessel.

Glory Be

R. It is within her heart that the Holy Spirit reveals insights into the mysteries, as the Holy Spirit works within Mary’s heart, and Mary is called the Mystical Rose.

 

The Coronation

R. Tower of Ivory. Mary is most pure and Mary is all white.

1. R. And in the Litany we call to Mary as Queen. There are so many titles to Mary as Queen. She is Queen of heaven and earth, Mary’s Immaculate Heart will triumph over heaven and earth. Mary will be the Queen of all hearts as He is the King of all hearts. So in this mystery we meditate on Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

2. Song: Hail Holy Queen Enthroned Above

3. R. House of Gold. Jesus came inside of Mary’s womb. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus is God.

4. R. Mary is the Ark of the Covenant. What a treasure! For the only ones that survived are the ones that went into Noah’s Ark. In the end we must go through the Immaculate Heart of Mary in order to be brought forth as children of light.

5. R. Gate of Heaven. Mary is the one that leads us to the intimacy with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit through her Immaculate and pure heart.

6. R. Mary is the Refuge for Sinners. Mary is the Morning Star. The world is tainted by the sin of Adam and Eve and Mary comes, the pure and sinless one, to lead the human race through her Immaculate Heart into the Heart of Christ and into the most intimate union with the Holy Trinity.

7. R. And so it is a fact, if we read all the messages in Fr. Carter’s Fatima and Medjugorje Book from Fatima, they will have such fullness after they have spoken to us in this rosary. Study each of the messages and see how the messages are centered in reparation. Majorly, reparation to her Immaculate Heart and reparation for the offenses against God. The focus being that in how He is being treated, so indifferently and with such dishonor in the Holy Eucharist. This Movement is to majorly bring about the completion of the Fatima message. Read through the messages given in Fr. Carter’s book, The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje, and think about what They are speaking about when They talk about the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

8. R. I really never understood Fatima or the Scriptures. I was a math teacher and a mother and I didn’t understand these things. Fr. Carter would get up and talk about Fatima and I had this block because Jesus didn’t want that in the writings yet and I’d think what is he talking about up there. Then one day I got this light and from then on all of this on Fatima was in the writings, because the time was ready. This is like what He is doing to us, as we consecrate our heart to Mary, we go into her heart and the Holy Spirit gives us a grace and then the shade goes up, and with great vision we see all of these things and we know Him. This is a great gift that He has given to us, these insights, this Movement, the Eucharist and the Mass. Fr. Carter and all the Divine wisdom that Jesus has given through Fr. Carter for the holy Priests. We must be ever grateful and thank God always for what He has given to us. Praise Him and love Him.

Song: Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

R. I would just like to end with a couple of messages. One message Mary said that she is Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas.

From Blue Book 15 – Mary Speaks on June 14th, 1997:

Mary: I am the Lady clothed as the sun and appearing as Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe - all of my titles will merge into one as the world is brought into oneness, majorly through the Chief Shepherd of the Flock, my Son Jesus. I am Our Lady appearing on a former bank building in Florida. You have made money your god! You are a sinful, willful race and our Blessed Lord is angered at the ways of the children of the world. You have not loved Him. You have offended God. The Father will chastise the earth because you fail to respond to the warnings given. The Father has asked for the Falmouth picture to be circulated throughout this earth. I request this picture to be circulated from my Florida site along with the other image and pictures of Our Lady of Light and Our Lady of Sorrows.

I am sorrowful for you have offended God and treated Him with indifference and neglect. I am Mary, your Mother. Oh, children of this earth, you are in for a weird awakening. You will suffer, but it will not be in ways you think. I am asking you to begin prayer chapters as the Father requested and spread the Priestly Newsletter. I am Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe. end of excerpt

9. R. This is like the close of the time when she appeared. Mary appeared three years ago on this date and then on March 20th she appeared down at the Holy Spirit Center as Our Lady of Fatima. I never saw her appear as Our Lady of Fatima before.

From Blue Book 14

Vision as seen by Rita Ring, March 20, 1997

Junior Shepherds of Christ Meeting Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

R. Mary appeared as Our Lady of Fatima for one hour and 15 minutes. Mary appeared in the Sorrowful Mother statue at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

I was at Our Lady’s House for the Junior Shepherds of Christ meeting. I cannot remember any great apparition of Mary in the Sorrowful Mother statue since August 12 and 13, 1996. She appeared all night and two times on August 13, 1996, once right before I went to the rosary at Tom’s farm about 5:30 p.m. (the night John was there and St. Michael came out of the water). Mary comes when you least expect her.

Tonight I went to the Holy Spirit Center for the rosary with the Junior Shepherds of Christ. We could not pray in the Rosary chapel because Fr. Smith was going to say Mass. We could not pray in the Sorrowful Mother’s chapel because the pews were draped with work clothes. We could not pray in the social hall because the band was playing. The only place left was in the hall on the other side of the wall from the band. The youth in the Shepherds of Christ chapter decided this was the place and moved pews in front of the statue.

As we began the rosary I began to see Mary, covered with a mist. Then I saw light around her. She got bigger than the statue, her face softened to that of the most beautiful woman – the same as the picture I took on Mother’s Day 1995 when she told me to buy film and take her picture. She was all adorned in light. She changed, around her head and she became a young, beautiful girl. She then changed into a lady of immense light, all white, beautiful and young. I wanted to cry in awe looking at her. I wanted to stop the rosary and just see the apparition, but I continued to speak as she spoke through me. The whole rosary was on Our Lady of Fatima. She turned into Our Lady of Fatima, so white, so beautiful, young in her face. I have seen many statues of Our Lady of Fatima. I have seen her all white and adorned in light before – Our Lady of Light, that is what she called herself. end of excerpt

R. Mary appeared and she was covered with the most radiant light, real big, and she had beads all over her and she looked like every Our Lady of Fatima statue that I have ever seen, but I had never seen her appear in this ornate stuff on her gown like this. She looked just like the Our Lady of Fatima statues. I thought this was majorly significant because this Lady of Guadalupe, which she says she is appearing as in Clearwater Florida, is Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas and Our Lady of Guadalupe is pregnant and she is bringing forth her children. This is what is happening to us as we consecrate our hearts to Mary, we are brought forth as children of light.

10. Mary: And so My beloved ones, I appear to you on a bank in Florida as Our Lady of Guadalupe. You have made money your God. There are so many gods that man has chosen. I am asking you my beloved shepherds to go into this world and to spread the prayers, to encourage all to pray these prayers. Encourage the young children to Consecrate their hearts, the old people to pray the prayers by tapes. My beloved Jesus, your Savior, is asking you to pray for the Priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. Will you obey for the love of Jesus and pray these prayers fervently? Jesus is dressing you in His Precious Blood, when you pray the prayers at the appointed hours of 3:00, 6:00, 9:00 and 12:00. The moon will turn to blood and you my beloved shepherds will be protected by His Precious Blood. It is important that you do all that Jesus asks of you to pray with fervor. It is in the prayers that the Shepherds of Christ Movement will spread to the far ends of this earth. Do not be afraid. Come to my Immaculate Heart for I will crush the serpent and take you into the Heart of my Son. I am Mary your Mother on this anniversary I give to you my motherly love. I am protecting you in my Immaculate Heart.

Song: Immaculate Mary

R. There is one more message about the picture that was passed out, because this picture is really important, the one on the Apostles Manual. There are great graces given in the reception of the Eucharist. Jesus speaks Saturday a week ago:

From Blue Book 15

June 28, 1997 Jesus: I give Myself to you in the Holy Eucharist. In this image (He’s talking about the image on the Apostles Manual in the prayer book.) My hands are extended in such giving love that I give to you. I extend this invitation to all Shepherds of Christ Associates to live the Blue Book messages and to help to spread the devotion to My Eucharistic Heart throughout this world. It is in the Eucharist I am greatly offended because I give Myself to you. It is through this Movement and the leaders living the Blue Book messages that the devotion will be spread on this earth. I am offended by any conversation before the tabernacle. Discussion of My Eucharistic presence and My love is permitted. Sins are committed, sins of indifference, sins of neglect, disrespect before the Eucharist. That which offends Me greatly is any condemnation of your neighbor in My Divine presence. I beg you to take this Mission with the greatest seriousness. You are Shepherds of Christ members. You are to help spread the devotion of My Eucharistic Heart. I wish this image to be circulated on the material distributed by the Shepherds of Christ. It is the Eucharist that is on the image that will help to lead the people to My Eucharistic Heart. My arms are open and I speak to you. Come to Me My beloved ones, come through the Immaculate Heart of My Mother to My Eucharistic Heart. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, I give you Myself in the Eucharist. I give you My Mother as your Mother. I give you the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mother, My Mother and your Mother. I give you Myself in the Eucharist. I extend My arms to you. I am the bridegroom of your soul. You come to My altar through the Immaculate Heart of My Mother and I feed you with My Body.

This is not to indicate that this is the exclusive picture of the Shepherds of Christ Ministries. The picture I request to be blessed by Fr. Carter and placed in All homes of core members, is very important to the devotion to the Sacred Heart and the Movement. I request that the picture be included in front of the Apostles Manual opposite the Prayer for Union with Jesus. I’ve requested this picture to be placed on the Third Blue Book. This picture is very important to the Shepherds of Christ Movement. It is very important to devotion to My Heart. This was the picture that was on Fr. Carter’s ordination card. It will be a picture used to lead many priests and faithful to My Heart. The image on the Apostles Manual is to help increase devotion to the Two Hearts and the Eucharist. The third picture of the Sacred Heart is the picture used in the front of the Blue Book and the candlelight rosaries. Please continue to make available to all members the large picture for candlelight rosaries. The pictures are very important to promote devotion to Our Two Hearts. Please circulate them. end of excerpt

R. The point of this is, that there are great gifts given when you picture Jesus with His arms outstretched as He is on that picture that is on front of the Apostles Manual giving Himself to you as you walk the aisle to receive the Eucharist, and if you look at that picture after Communion, I have just gotten all kinds of gifts from that and I feel so intimately joined to Him, so I am just sharing this message so that you too, may choose to use this as a help in drawing yourselves more intimately with Jesus.

Glory Be

 

                Given September 30, 2016

                R. God wants us to be filled more and
                more with His life in us. God has
                given us a sharing in His life in
                baptism and our knowing and loving
                capacity is elevated – so we can know
                and love supernaturally. Baptism
                opens the supernatural world to us.
                God is Divine. The devil hates the
                Divine.

                    God created us in the image
                and likeness of God and He wants us
                to develop this capacity to know
                and love – more abundantly – on
                a supernatural level.

                    God loves us so much. Jesus
                gives us the Blue Book messages to
                know more and more about Him –
                to know how much He really loves
                us.

                    God commanded us to love Him
                first above, all else, and to love
                Him with our whole heart, our
                whole soul, our whole being and
                to love our neighbor as our self.

                    God is love and in Him is
                no darkness at all. Jesus is
                the Light of the world. When
                I see Mary and Jesus appear
                They appear in immense light.               

                    Why does a person perform actions?
                Why do you do what you do? We need
                to pray for the grace to act to do
                God's will in love. This means we
                are cognitively aware of wanting to
                do God's will. Our intellectual
                faculties are focused on God's
                will and not our will.

                    We are wrong and hurt ourselves
                and others and are offending
                God when we perform actions
                because of anger at others –
                Performing actions because of
                anger can be such a deep seated
                habit developed in childhood. This
                very bad habit can develop as
                a child who was abused physically
                or sexually – or emotionally.

                    Anger can be passed down from
                generation to generation. Children,
                instead of learning about working
                things out in love with others,
                can be taught how they should
                not act and were taught not to get
                along and work side-by-side with others.

                    We are all imperfect and
                need to seek perfection, like our
                heavenly Father, but children
                learned how to get along socially
                by what went on in the home.
                It is indeed necessary to have
                God in our lives to help us
                to learn how to love and
                know how to interact – because
                we are all imperfect and are
                all a work in progress.

                    The devil moves in a person's
                life wherever he can find an
                opening and a person willing to
                live in age-old anger. Anger
                can be so deep-seated and the
                way a person learned to deal
                with it from habits they
                developed 40 or 50 years before and
                then refused to work with others
                developing healthy, loving relationship
                life long. Relationships that are
                healthy are relationships that develop
                to help us to love God with our
                whole heart and whole soul
                and love our neighbor as ourselves.

                Childhood can be a wonderful time
                for a child when parents are
                loving and working in love
                with each other and the family
                to bring love and light into
                the home. It takes love, it takes
                the light of Christ, it takes
                a desire to want to be holy and more
                like Jesus – it takes discipline
                and love and respect for authority.

                    God has put us here to love –
                to love on a supernatural level
                and God gives us a free will to
                act according to the Father's will
                in love.

                    Do you remember asking
                yourselves how do I deal with
                difficult others. Well in dysfunctional
                homes a partner of an addictive
                person of alcohol, drugs, work,
                abuse, sex, may have a very
                hard time – dealing with the
                addictive person who is run by their
                addiction and using force to try to control
                things.

                    An abused child learned many
                survival modes of acting and
                living in that addiction present
                that may have controlled the house,
                through force, addiction etc.
                Jesus says that this dysfunction
                can be a spiritual matter. The
                person must seek conversion
                according to God's will and learning
                to love. Our Lady of Fatima
                appeared to tell us we need to
                convert. Our Lady of Fatima
                told us we need devotion to Jesus'
                Sacred Heart of love and Mary's Immaculate Heart.
                Jesus told Fr. Carter to pray these consecrations.

 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

 

                R. We are a work in progress – we
                are here to grow in the spiritual
                life. We need God dwelling in us –
                We need the Holy Spirit filling us with
                love and light. We need relationship
                with Jesus, our beloved Spouse,
                we need to know more and more the
                perfection of our heavenly Father.

                    The Blue Books teach us -
                in truth – about this love of all
                3 Persons of the Trinity – the
                Blue Books are the Mighty Medicine
                for the sick world.

                    God has given us the capability
                in baptism to know and love on
                a supernatural level. God gives
                us a sharing in Divine Life
                in baptism. God fills us with
                grace – His life in us when
                we go to the sacraments. God
                wants us to not be in chains
                with our imperfections and
                dysfunctions – as the poor banished
                children of Adam and Eve, but
                God wants us to grow in the
                image and likeness of God – He
                created us to be like Him.

                Our life is to be lived – learning to
                love and living in the Light of Jesus.
                Jesus paid such a price to teach
                us. He took on flesh and came
                to this earth – We are to walk in
                the footprints of Jesus – we have
                a lifetime to follow Jesus –
                not to rebel against God – like
                Eve in the Garden, but to learn
                to say "yes" to God's will –
                "yes" God - You are first in my life –
                "yes" God - You are my King and
                    Master –
                "yes" God - I thank You – I love
                    You – I adore You –

                    The Blue Books are the Mighty Medicine
                for the sick world. Living in the
                Spirit – Putting on Christ –
                Growing in the interior life
                so we can say with certitude,
                with St. Paul

 

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

 

                R. We need each other – we need
                to see ourselves in relationship
                with God and others. We need
                to empty out rusted - deep seated
                anger we let stop the life of
                living in God before it is too late.
                We are here to die to our selfish,
                evil ways and to rise to
                new life in God.

                    What a gift – to be made new –
                We were created in the image and
                likeness of Jesus –

                    Loving is saying "yes" to
                Jesus – we have a free will –
                we were commanded to love –
                It is God's will!

 

 THE TWELVE STEPS OF AA 

                    Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery:

                    1.  We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,
                            that our lives had become unmanageable.

                    2.  Came to believe that a Power greater than
                            ourselves could restore us to sanity.

                    3.  Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
                            over to the care of God as we understood Him.

                    4.  Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

                    5.  Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human
                            being the exact nature of our wrongs.

                    6.  Were entirely ready to have God remove all
                            these defects of character.

                    7.  Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

                    8.  Made a list of all persons we had harmed,
                            and became willing to make amends to them all.

                    9.  Made direct amends to such people wherever possible,
                            except when to do so would injure them or others.

                    10.  Continued to take personal inventory and when we
                            were wrong promptly admitted it.

                    11.  Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our
                            conscious contact with God as we understood Him,
                            praying only for knowledge of His will for us and
                            the power to carry that out.

                    12.  Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps,
                            we tried to carry this message to alcoholics,
                            and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

 

                R. We were created to work with
                each other to take out the weeds
                in our hearts so the flowers
                can grow – so fruit trees can
                bear the fruit of Jesus –

                    Love is a decision! Emptying out
                old rusted anger – deep seated –
                ways of punishing and hating must
                be done, by a person who empty's
                himself of unwanted pride – where
                he tells himself he is right in
                his rusted, angry heart and recognize
                he needs to change.

                    A person was angry from abuse
                in childhood and kept it secret
                life - long – hurting and punishing
                others, isolating, and making
                secrets in their own life to punish
                others for their own anger –

                    The anger grew within them as
                the darkness, as they deprived themselves
                of meaningful relationships, love of
                God and others. The habits
                were habits to guard the secret
                and to act-out the anger and rage
                that grew and grew from rebelling
                against God's commandment to love.
                Actions were based on this anger
                and hatred inside, unreliability,
                unaccountability for actions and
                the deadly sins of pride, anger,
                jealousy, envy, slothfulness –

                    We have seen the conversion
                of St. Paul, the conversion of
                St. Augustine, the conversion
                of St. Mary Magdalene – who we
                knew loved Jesus so much
                and stood under the cross. Jesus said
                to me "Why do you act" ask them.
                If you aren't acting to do My will –
                you are missing the boat when
                you act out of anger, pride (never
                being wrong), jealousy, envy (bringing
                the just man down), hatred, slothfulness,
                satisfying the appetites out of control.
                Acting should be with the goal of
                eternal life in every action and
                leading others to this goal.
                This is living in harmony with
                God's will for us –this is what
                salvation history is about –

                    Living in darkness, acting sinfully –
                brings more and more darkness and
                misery and the devil keeps tempting
                the person by saying

                    "What is the use, be angry,
                keep sinning, etc."

                    The devil is real – the devil wants
                souls for the eternal fires of hell!

                    Jesus gave me a message yesterday –
                If a person has been angry - life-long
                and punished others, walked in
                darkness, acted-out, lied to themselves,
                what do they need to do – to be set
                free – they must forgive the person
                that abused them as a child and
                love them.

                    Filling oneself with sin and
                anger and hatred is like this.

 

 

 

                R. Love is the WAY.

                    If I looked back over my
                life from the beginning do
                I see the light and love
                growing in my heart as I
                live and love and work with
                others building the Kingdom of God.

                    I remember some instructions
                my dad would always give to me.
                He taught me not to talk back
                when he was correcting me –
                he said – Why do you self-
                justify yourself –

                    It can become such a habit with
                a person they refuse any correction
                and quit examining their conscience.

                God has given us all these gifts
                from the Holy Spirit to see and know
                our own ways we need to change
                in destructive patterned ways
                we act.

                    Change is what Our Lady of Fatima
                was asking for. A person that
                isolates can keep telling themselves
                they don't need to trust anyone
                and see themselves as so
                stubborn they stand before God
                saying "nobody can budge me".
                What a way to give into satan –
                A child will hold their breath
                sometimes when a parent is
                trying to force them into
                doing something they don't want
                to do.

                    Imagine an adult standing
                before God – doing their own
                will – opposing all God
                is telling them to do and
                then turning red hot in
                anger!

                    Growing in the spiritual life
                in NOT OPPOSING GOD,
                but giving God what He wants –
                Learning to give God what He
                asks for –

                God wants what is best for us –
                Why would a person live their
                life opposing God –

                Pope John Paul II talks about this in
                    Fr. Carter's Newsletter –
 

Shepherds of Christ Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3     

The Father's Will for Us - Our Source of Peace

  • Pope John Paul II instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and reconciling community, cannot forget that at the source of her gift and mission of reconciliation is the initiative, full of compassionate love and mercy, of that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of love created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis 1:27: Psalms 8:4-8)…He created them so that they might live in friendship with Him and in communion with one another.

"God is faithful to His eternal plan even when man, under the impulse of the evil one (see Wisdom 2:24) and carried away by his own pride, abuses the freedom given to him in order to love and generously seek what is good, and (instead) refuses to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when man, instead of responding with love to God’s love, opposes Him and treats Him like a rival, deluding himself and relying on his own power, with the resulting break of relationship with the One who created him. In spite of this transgression on man’s part, God remains faithful in love.

"It is certainly true that the story of the Garden of Eden makes us think about the tragic consequences of rejecting the Father, which becomes evident in man’s inner disorder and in the breakdown of harmony between man and woman, brother and brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also significant is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable of the ‘prodigal son’; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in different ways, distance themselves from their father and cause a rift between them. Refusal of God’s fatherly love and of His loving gifts is always at the root of humanity’s divisions.

"But we know that God…like the father in the parable (of the prodigal son), does not close His heart to any of His children. He waits for them, looks for them, goes to meet them at the place where the refusal of communion imprisons them in isolation and division. He calls them to gather about His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and reconciliation.

"This initiative on God’s part is made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act of Christ, which radiates through the world by means of the ministry of the Church." 13

13. Pope John Paul II, as in Celebrate 2000!, Servant Publications, pp. 140-141.

  

                R. A person so set in their ways
                to continue sinning in rebellion
                against God's will – in stubbornness
                does not feel good. They can be
                full of guilt and want to
                punish others for their own
                rebellion and growing anger
                inside and living in misery
                and darkness – depriving
                themselves and others of life –
                They may try to provoke and
                bring down the house so others
                are forced under their unpredictable
                ways and try to force their power
                so others get under their darkness.
                People with irrational behavior
                are almost working in the opposite
                realm of what is right reasoning
                and they work with others
                doing it –
                in the exact opposite way
                God intends us to be –
                loving, kindness, forgiving,
                giving, trying – living by
                the commandments of God.

                If a person is bringing darkness down
                    intentionally on others day after
                    day – provoking, angry,
                    drama, uncontrolled behavior,
                    secrets, negative attention –
                    displays

                We see the exact opposite of
                    what God is calling them
                    to do

                They wouldn't do it, if they
                    weren't effecting others –

                It is the opposite of love,
                    forgiveness, patience, giving
                    God and others what they deserve –

                    To oppose what God is calling
                us to do – to oppose what others
                ask us to do – to oppose and
                argue about everything and
                not produce is interacting
                with others –

                    That person wants interaction
                and attention – they are provoking
                others to get a reaction and
                hurt them. They can try to
                raise to the top in power
                to make others put up with
                their abuse –

                    Terrorist do this – they tell themselves
                they are justified to do what they
                do. They use the element of
                surprise and fear to run
                their torturing and terroristic
                behavior. How deep is the jugular
                vein satan wants to take out.

                    God calls us to love – to help
                in the work of salvation –
                God calls us to have an attitude
                of gratitude.

                    God calls us to forgive
                and to love. To admit our
                faults and to try to change
                our behavior that is unholy –
                God calls us to be hopeful and
                faith-filled people – God
                calls me to try to work together
                in love to solve problems
                and to help myself and
                others to have a loving and
                wonderful life –

                    I have been commanded
                by God to love my neighbor
                as myself – God calls me
                to be nice to others –
                to smile – to love – to give
                to help my neighbor – God
                wants me to live to be the
                person He created me to be –

                    We are called by God, in
                justice, to build a better
                world –

                    We must be grateful for
                all God gives us – to
                see through the eyes of
                God – to have a heart in
                the light of God –
                    to let God run our
                lives.

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
