                Given February 26, 2013

                  Jesus: I am asking you to sacrifice through prayer for what the Church
                is experiencing. The messages I gave during the China retreat in
                February need to be published. The timing I give is crucial. I have asked
                for the messages of January 1996, Blue Book 10. I beg you to listen.
                I appeared transfigured many times that month – publish these
                messages. I ask you all to help publish Blue Book 8 and help
                support sending Fr. Joe's homilies to the rest of the priests in
                the United States. This is the Priestly Newsletter. It is a weekly
                writing for the priests in the United States.

                R. Dear God please help us now in these days when a
                new Holy Father is to be chosen. Have mercy on us, we beg you,
                God, forgive us for our selfishness – Oh God help this world
                bleeding now to know how important these writings and retreats
                are.

                We pray to the Father, united to the Mass,
                united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession
                of Mary, with all the angels and saints and
                the souls in purgatory for the priests, the
                Church and the world.

                    We pray for the Cardinals and the Pope –
                We spread the Blood of Jesus on all mentioned,
                cast the devil far away, pray for a special
                outpouring of the Holy Spirit and consecrate their
                hearts as far as we are able.

                    We pray in union with the Holy Sacrifice
                of the Mass, the angels and saints and the souls
                in purgatory –

                    We pray for this conclave, the election
                all our donors and members, leaders and all
                our families all that touch us and all our
                jobs. We pray for funds and the spread
                of the Blue Books, the Homilies of Fr. Joe and
                all our prayers and writings – in the
                Church, to be used as a Mighty Medicine,
                supported by the priests and hierarchy.

                We pray for the publishing of Blue Book 8 and
                    the priests mailing and our
                    insurance, all our cares.
                    We pray for Jerry's list and my list.

                We pray for the books, the retreats and
                    the priests who help us.

                From Blue Book 10

February 23, 1996

He Remains with Us, Truly Present

R. God sees us as one family, His beloved creatures. He loves us each with the deepest personal love. He sees us united. It is our love for one another that pleases Him. There is not division in God. He loves each of us and knows our uniqueness. He loves all of us as His creatures. We are all members of His holy family. He wants all His children to inherit the Kingdom of God.

I find refuge by dwelling within His most precious Heart. I feel the inner glow, the heat. I feel the calm beating of His heart. It is there I am wrapped in His burning love. It is there I am united deeply to my most beloved Father. It is there I am joined with the permeating, moving action of the Holy Spirit.

It is my refuge, in this dark and troubled world. It is my heaven on earth, to be joined in love with all He has created, to have perfect peace and know God's chamber of peace and love.

I see the darkness, the vileness of this world, and I go to His Heart. I see, with rose-colored glasses. I see as He wants us to see with eyes of love. I want to love and see as He sees. It is in this deepest chamber of His Heart that I have found the Kingdom of God on earth, for He has said, the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God, our little heaven on earth, is in dwelling deeply within Their Hearts. In His Heart is love and in His Heart is peace, in His Heart we are all one as He intends us to be. "But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." (Matt: 12:48-50)1 We draw in our beloved sisters and brothers by the love that radiates from our eyes, our gentle touch, our loving concern.

Strip yourself of the attachments to this world. Find peace in the freedom of living according to His will, living *In Him, *in this magnificent Heart.

He came, He walked the earth, for love of us. He took on a human body. He gave His adorable Heart that we could live *In Him. He no longer walks this earth, He gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. He gives us a human *heart, pierced with a lance, crowned with thorns and holding the cross. The way to this fiery furnace, the way to life in Him, is through much suffering and pain. We identify with Him in all our actions, all our joys and sufferings, united to Him as we live our lives in Him. We walk the Passion, we feel the joys, the deep love in His Heart for His Mother, for all His beloved creatures. We carry out His life in our life.

I am Yours, my Lord. I love You with my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole being. I have found the Kingdom of God on this earth. I have found life in You. When I see the darkness in this troubled world, I go to the deepest, hottest chamber of Your Heart and I am bathed in your abundant love. I take with me my troubled brothers in my heart and I plead for their return to their God who is all worthy of all honor and love and adoration.

I am Yours, Lord, I consecrate my heart to You to live forever in this holy place. I want to die to all that is not of You, that I can be united in the deepest way to You, that my heart will know Your love, that as I live in this world I can truly say, "It is no longer I who live, but He who lives in me."

O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my all. I come to You surrounded by the pure and loving heart of Your Mother. I know You won't refuse me in my wretchedness when I come to You in the heart of Your beloved Mother.

The Holy Spirit permeates the very depth of my soul and I enter into the deepest chamber of His fiery Heart. It is there I feel so little, as a little child, and I unite to my most beloved Father. I feel in Your fiery heart the presence of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the deepest, whitest chamber, in the center of the deepest love. I unite with God and I know my dwelling in You is truly a little heaven on earth.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. There will be an era of peace. We will all be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We will be one happy family where there will only be love: love of God and love of one another.

And the city shone with the brightest light for within their hearts they knew the love of God and it radiated into the world. There was no longer darkness that covered the earth, but light, radiating from those dwelling within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And the star shone over His bed at Bethlehem. He is truly the light of the world and the light shone in the darkness and all who came to this light lived in the light and lived according to the light.

It is in this that we trust, that in all the darkness of the world that the light will shine when men are dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

And, He says: I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in me will have the light of life. He came, He was born a baby, He died on a cross, but as He hung on that cross on Calvary, He was the light that shone as the brightest light to the world, withered, beaten and bloodied. He was the brightest light in the darkened sky. It was through His death all men were promised a chance for real life, for eternal salvation.

And the light came forth from the tomb in power and glory, adorned in bright, glistening light. He stood before them with His glorified wounds: His pierced Heart of endless love and He gave them the newness of life-life in Him. The light shone in the darkness. He gave them a sharing in His Divine Life through Baptism and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us, but He remained with us, truly present, in His Eucharistic Heart. He feeds us with His own Body and Blood. He gives us the Bread of Life. He is the Savior of the World and we live in newness of life because God first loved us!

 

From the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Booklet

February 1996

Per Fr. Carter's Message2
    This is your special calling from Jesus to pray for the Church and the world. The power is in Him. He is truly present in the Eucharist. He ascended into heaven, but He remains with us in greatest love. He calls out to us, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. Come to me and I will give you rest. Can you not watch one hour with Me?

    "I am Jesus. I call you My beloved ones to be Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. I love you, I love you, I love you."

2. Message from Jesus to Father Edward Carter, S.J., February, 1996.

 

March 6, 1996

R. Life can be compared to a symphony. The Father is the Creator, the composer. Jesus is the Director. The Father has a plan, each special soul so uniquely created by Him. It is in living according to His Will that we all live in harmony and love. Life is music played for the world.

    Each person in the symphony has a unique talent, each has a part to play. Each player must focus on the director - must continually look at him for his cues. All members of the symphony are joined in one spirit, all in one heart and one mind as they surrender to the mind of the conductor. The conductor is reflecting the creation of the composer.

    If each part is played to perfection, the music is sweet and harmonious. It is one beautiful piece. Each player reflecting their uniqueness in the piece played, it is more than a piece, it is music - alive - that penetrates the heart and soul of the audience. It portrays a distinct message, it moves the hearts from sadness to joy, from anxiety to peace. All the players working as one, creating the desired effect.

    If a player is willful and takes their eyes from the director, the piece has lost its oneness. If many players take their eyes from the conductor, the piece will be ugly, with such disharmony.

    Our minds have turned to loud noise and disturbances - this has been accepted in this world. Clamor, Discord, Disobedience. A symphony where all are in discord would wound the ears of those listening. Only when they follow will there be harmony.

 

March 7, 1996

R. Who can probe the heart and know its ways? Why it acts a certain way, why it chooses this or that? Only the mind of the Lord knows from whence the soul comes and goes. God knows everything. Who are we then to judge the actions of any man - this alone is the Lords.

    I saw, like the mind of God, the human heart, and realized it would take a Divine Mind to judge them fairly. I saw a big heart with all its intricacies. Only God could probe this heart.

    The heart, ruddy and shredded as a real heart, lots of shreds, and lots of little places for hurts to hide. There are places that need to be lighted and cleansed by His Divine Love.

    I see the jealousy, the pride, the wanting for love and acceptance in myself. I know more and more the little places in my heart where flaws have hidden, keeping me from Him.

    Lent is a time to bring out the debris and wash it away with His grace and love.

    What a Mass: I see how He probes the heart and judges men. Only a Divine Mind could do this.

    I see my role in comforting Him with my love now in His Passion. As He suffered so much pain and anguish, I look into His eyes as they holler at Him: "Crucify Him, Crucify Him", and I give Him my love and my kisses.

    I look into His eyes when they give Him His cross and I tell Him how I adore Him and love Him. I look into His eyes when He lays on the ground, His chin on the ground, and I give Him my kisses and my love to comfort Him.

    I join in the look of His Mother and feel this deep love for Him and share in the most intimate union in this love for Him, for her, union in Their Hearts.

    I see His naked, marred body. I kiss Jesus' flesh, Jesus' wounds, Jesus' nail prints. I kiss most tenderly the wound in Jesus' side, the wound from the lance that entered His adorable Heart.

    I love my Lord, I adore Him, I give Him my love - imperfect, but oh how sincere it is in all my sin. It is in this comforting love of Him I learn to love Jesus in others. Oh, teach me to love as You loved. I see You, bare flesh, in the arms of Your Mother, lifeless and covered with wounds for my sins - teach me to love as You love us!

    O Sacred Heart of Jesus, how pure is Your bountiful love. How sweet the kiss of Your beloved Heart, given to this world and rejected by those You love. Give me the grace to love You with the greatest love that I might comfort Your sweet Heart of endless love.

    When I look into the eyes of the suffering, I look into the suffering eyes of Christ. When I see my brother lying on the ground and wounded and I kiss His wounds, I am comforting the wounded Christ. He is alive in this world today. Let us love Him as You love Your brother. As we love one another, so do we love Him. It is Jesus I kiss and Jesus I love, when I comfort and love my brother.

    The world is God's world and we are but a speck, but Jesus raises us to such heights and we love in Jesus. We are one body. If one member suffers, the whole body suffers. Whatsoever I do to my brothers, I do to Jesus.

    We are all children of the Father. There is no division between us. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. Christ came as our brother. As we love our brother today, we love Christ in the world.

 

John 6: 32-35

Jesus answered them: "In all truth I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, it was my Father who gives you the bread from heaven, the true bread; for the bread of God is the bread which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"Sir," they said, "give us this bread always." Jesus answered them:

"I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in me will ever thirst."

 

John 6: 48-58

"I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they are dead; but this is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die. I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world."

Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus replied to them:

"In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person. As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will also draw life from me. This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever."

 

Romans 8: 14-17

All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.

Many Graces Will Be Granted

Jesus: My beloved Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I have called you to a special apostleship, My beloved ones. I am crying out to you from My Eucharistic Heart to pray as you have never prayed before. The power, My dear chosen ones, is in the Eucharist. Your world is in a very serious state. The Church, the pope, the bishops, the priests, the Sisters and Brothers are all in need of tremendous prayer power.
    You have been called to the quiet of the tabernacle to take your prayer petitions to My Eucharistic Heart. The renewal of the Church and the world is at hand. From the prayers you pray here, many graces will be granted.
    I am calling all in this Movement as well as all others in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to consecrate their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother. All through the day I am calling you, priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including children, to give your hearts to Me and to My beloved Mother. As you dwell in Our Hearts you will be one with each other.
    Come to Me with your petitions. I am truly present in the tabernacle, no less present than the day I walked the earth. I wait for you to come and to pray for your Church and your world. Many graces will be given there for the priesthood and those in the religious life. I have chosen each priest and sister and brother in the religious life to help spread My love to this world. The highest calling is to be called to the priesthood. The calling I give to My beloved priests, sisters and brothers is a special spousalship to Me. How My Heart is wounded by the priests and sisters and brothers in the religious life who have turned worldly. I, the almighty God, call them to such a deep intimate love affair with Me and they go to the world for their love.
    When the religious are fixed in My Heart many will be fed by My burning love.
    The world is in a state of urgency. The Church in part has become worldly. The medicine for the hurting world is My burning love. Nothing, nothing will feed the starved soul but the love of God. I am calling you to pray for My holy priests, to pray that all priests come to a state of deep holiness.
    I have called you as part of the Shepherds of Christ Movement to join in prayer before Me and to beg for graces for your Church and your world.
    The renewal of My Church and My world will be helped greatly through many giving themselves to this movement.
    At Fatima My Mother said that, until a sufficient number of faithful are consecrating their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother, there will not be peace in this world.
    In the Shepherds of Christ Movement including the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, I am reaching the priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including the children - with this Consecration.
    As you dwell in Our hearts you are one with us. As you give yourselves to our Hearts, you are one in our Hearts. These movements will prosper for all are joined in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. You will proceed ahead in one heart and one mind. You will be more joined as a true family, brothers and sisters, living according to the will of your heavenly Father and dwelling in the heart of your heavenly Mother.

1

    I love you, I love you, I love you. I am your beloved Savior, Jesus.

 

March 8, 1996 - Friday during Lent - Mass 2:10pm

God is Real

R. Everyday this week I have received a special grace when I went to Mass at Fr. Carter's Chapel. Today I realized what was really real is all I believe about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and my heart was filled with immense joy to know clearly the really-real is this. It has been every day as instantly a veil goes up and I see with such insight - through this special grace I receive. Today I knew more and more the reality of heaven. I existed so deeply in God, given such an awareness of this. I knew the love of all 3 Persons of the Trinity. I was overwhelmed with joy at this vision. I see my own wretchedness and how He loves me despite my sinfulness.

    I realize from the Tuesday morning Mass how so much is because of His grace. I have been begging Him to not take this special grace from me. I long for His gifts. If I am good it is because of His grace, how wretched I would be if He withdrew His grace. I am totally dependent on Him. I love my PaPa so much, I see so clearly the little child, that wants to be His - that wants to be His little dependent child and it gives me such great joy.

Matthew 11:25

At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.

R. I realized today from the message I received earlier, after early Mass, how God is truly present in the Eucharist. I unite to the Father and Holy Spirit through this great gift of Jesus, who gives Himself to me. I feel the presence of God. I realize the love of each Person of the Trinity, I know God as one. This is reality: God gives Himself to me in the Holy Eucharist. Such joy and love is mine to be given this great gift.

 

March 9, 1996

Love is Being in the Embrace of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

R. I was wrapped with sorrow. I felt as if I could not take the pressure and in a moment Jesus outpoured His love to me. I was wrapped in the 2 Hearts, in the love between Jesus and Mary. When They looked into each other's eyes on the way to Calvary, it was a deep comfort in my sorrow and I was comforted as They both were in that moment, when Their eyes met on the way to Calvary.

Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

R. I realized through what They gave me - sufferings of His agony to His body, and even greater, agonies of His Heart, for all those who would, for all time, abandon Him, neglect Him, hate Him, curse Him, sin against Him, kill and persecute Him when they persecuted their brother. Jesus looked into the eyes of His Mother and knew her great love for Him. This comforted His Heart immediately helping in the excruciating agony. Mary, too, looked into Jesus' beautiful face, looking deeply into Jesus' Heart, as she peered in that instant into His eyes. Mary felt His great love for her and her sorrow was turned to joy to behold the love of His Heart.

    This is my goal in life: to forever look into the eyes of the suffering Christ and give Jesus' my love, to see Jesus on the ground, Jesus' chin skinned from the fall, and look into Jesus' eyes and tell Jesus: Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus, how truly I love Thee with my whole heart, my whole soul and my whole mind. This is what I want to do: to see Jesus, surrounded by those hard-hearted men that Jesus loved so dearly, calling out, "crucify Him, crucify Him." I look into His eyes there and say, sweet Jesus, I love Thee, I love Thee, and to comfort Jesus' bleeding Heart.

    This is His delight for us to help make reparation to His Heart and Mary's heart after Communion when we are so intently united to Him, when our prayers have the most power. The Power is in the Eucharist. Praying after Communion is the most powerful time.

    God is offended by the sins of men. Mary is blasphemed in her Virginity, her Motherhood, her purity. It is after Communion that we comfort Their Hearts for all of the offenses against the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    Mary's Heart is the gateway to Jesus' Heart. Mary's Heart is the key to intense, deep union with God. It is through Mary's Heart we unite with Jesus' Heart and unite to the Father and the Holy Spirit.

    I see all through the rosary the interaction between Jesus and Mary, the intimacy between the highest human person and the Divine Person, Jesus. I see the constant union between Mary and her Spouse, the Holy Spirit. I see the union of Mary and the Father. In the rosary, I am swept in the embrace of this love between Mary and Jesus. I know the love of Mary for the Trinity more and more. Mary the singular vessel.

    In the rosary I see the interaction of Jesus and Mary's Hearts. I was swept up in this love that I knew existed in the 2 Hearts. This morning before Mass - it was as if I was joined intently to the love of these 2 Hearts and comforted in my deep sorrow. This is what happens in the rosary, the seven sorrows and the stations. I am joined in the embrace of love between Jesus and Mary, between Divinity and humanity, when I join in Their Hearts.

    In one instant I was swept from suffering to immense joy by this gift of sharing in the loving embrace of the two Hearts. I want to live in this union. The love and comfort I felt in that glance between Jesus and Mary on the way to Calvary.

    All through the rosary, the seven sorrows, and the stations, if I am caught up in that love between the Two Hearts, it is love in action. Divinity unites to humanity in this embrace with the 2 Hearts. Love is interaction. Love between God and man reaches its heights between Jesus and Mary when I am caught in this embrace between Him and her - I am saturated with the greatest love.

    I love you with the deepest, deepest love, O Hearts of Jesus and Mary!

 

March 9, 1996

R. We plead to the Father for our souls as we join in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

I see clearly how we unite in this Holy Sacrifice with Jesus and the priest and offer ourselves as a sacrifice to the Father for our sins and the sins of all mankind.

    I am indeed so joined to all my brothers. We unite with all the angels and saints, all the souls in purgatory and we beg the Father for mercy for we have offended God.

    Until a sufficient number of people have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in this world. We plead in one mind and one heart at Mass to the Father for mercy. Man has sinned. We beg for grace and mercy.

Jesus gives Himself to us in the Mass. We unite to the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present in the Mass and to help make reparation for the sins of mankind.

    Our every act, we unite through the Mass that continues all over the world. This act is most pleasing to the Father. We beg for mercy and for grace for the sins of all men, united to the Masses going on all over the world.

    We are sinful. We must unite in our hearts. We unite as a people with loving hearts. We become one in our hearts.

    It is through the Heart of Jesus, a Divine Person, and Mary, and her Immaculate Heart, that we unite our hearts and plead to the Father for mercy and grace. I see so clearly this - but cannot write what I have seen with eyes unveiled. We must pray for His grace. It is because we need His grace to see and to know. The world can know Him and He can outpour His grace and grant mercy to us if He wants. It is through His grace the world will know Him and His mercy and love. It is by consecrating our hearts to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart that we can be united in Him. As we dwell in Their Hearts, the treasures of God unfold.

    Oh, Heart of Jesus, I find my life in You. You are my refuge and my all.

 

March 11, 1996 - After Mass 1:30pm

R. I saw at Mass how I want to plead to the Father for my sins and the sins of all men. I could see the sinfulness of us, as men, and I wanted to unite in such oneness with Jesus in the Mass and beg, beg the Father for forgiveness and to outpour His grace and mercy on this sinful world.

    Our whole act ought to be one of such thankfulness for the gift Jesus has given to us, begging Him to forgive us, His sinful creatures. We unite to the Father, the prayers after the consecration, we unite with the whole world, to the Church and we pray united to God, Through Him, With Him and In Him, and we beg to give ourselves as a sacrifice, to die to selfish ways and give ourselves to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of all.

    We beg for mercy. We pray the Our Father and with every word we cry out to our Father with all our heart to outpour His grace and mercy on the world.

    The grace and mercy flow through the pierced Heart of Jesus.

    We want to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of this sinful race, we must unite with all, through Him, with Him and in Him.

    We are emptying ourselves, we give ourselves entirely, deeply pleading with all our hearts. We see the sinfulness of this race - we know we receive this abundant outpouring of His life on our graced baptized soul at Mass. He outpours His grace and mercy. He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. We are in the deepest union with Him in Communion and we want to help make reparation for the sins of men in this deep union - and to help make reparation to the Heart of Jesus and help make reparation to the Heart of Mary too.

    The Father gave us His Son and look how we treat Him! This is the Father's gift to us - we are such ungrateful creatures. We beg at the Lamb of God:    

        Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
        Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
        Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

We beg three times - we beg before we receive Him.

Adoration
Petition
Thanksgiving
Satisfaction for Sin

In the depth of the pain, I met my Lord. Look at all the sufferings in our lives. It was in the depth I saw His eyes. My heart was united to Him. The intimacy was in the deep, deep moments of pain. Lord have mercy. Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

 

March 13, 1996

R. Jesus told me that the Mass Book was important to the Church and the world. Since First Friday, I have felt very strongly that if I don't stay home and do it, I am going to get really sick. I opened this notebook two times today and He said He wants the Mass Book out, more than anything else I may be doing.

    The priest must be open and centered in Christ. He is another Christ to us. He is celebrating the Mass, we are united to the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present. Jesus wants the priests to be so holy, consecrated to His Sacred Heart and Mary's Immaculate Heart.

    Jesus wants us loving, praying from our hearts. Every word at Mass should be spoken with a heart that is fervent. A priest is given such a gift to celebrate the Mass.

    Every word from the priest should be so heartfelt, united so deeply to Jesus, it should penetrate the souls of those present. We are going through motions. Jesus wants our heartfelt praise, adoration, thanksgiving and sorrow for sins. (our sins and the sins of the world)

    This is a Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. What a gift the hands of a priest. He should strive to have a heart more and more like Jesus!! Is the priest's heart so holy for such an honor? Has the priest consecrated his heart to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary?

    See Jesus at the Last Supper. Jesus feeds us with Himself. Jesus gives us His Body and Blood at Mass. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present at Mass. Love, Jesus emptied Himself.

    Does the priest give Himself? Is His Heart open and pure? If we were giving ourselves to the point of death, how would we make the sacrifice? Let us unite and be holy.

    Jesus says: This is My Body, take and eat, My beloved ones. This is My Blood, My Blood given up for you.

R. What power when we unite to Jesus and offer ourselves and beg the Father for mercy and grace. I love You Jesus.

Let us see ourselves, behold the cross before us and imagine ourselves in such union with our beloved Jesus. Let my hands hold the pierced feet of my beloved, sweet Jesus and kiss and caress His wounded foot. Let me hold His beautiful hand and kiss and caress each hand, pierced for love of me. Let me kiss the head that bore the wounds from the thorns. Oh, sweet Jesus, wounded for love of me. Lastly, let me kiss, with the most love, the precious wound that leads to His most beauteous Heart, the Heart of greatest love!

 

March 14, 1996 - After Mass 7:05am (smelled incense during Mass)

R. Yesterday I prayed with my whole heart to be possessed by Him at Mass, to dwell so deeply in me, to be in me, that He would live in this world in me.

Vision: On March 13th I had two visions and felt what I saw was 'seeing more through God's eyes - the big picture.'

    I was standing in the kitchen and I had the sense I knew I was on this earth, I knew I was here, but what was more real was the 'whole' of everything. I saw as if this was where I was but the "whole" existed around me. The unseen became more real to me, more real than just being where I was in the kitchen. What was real was all that I did not see. It put me in a whole new perspective. I saw, as in the mind of God, through His eyes - I saw myself here and now - but in relations to all time and all that exists. It makes the moment as it is – a moment in time – part of all of eternity – so important, but in the perspective of all things.

    It was a vision as when I saw through God's eyes, all time, all people, all one family in Him. That is how I want to live - that I live in this world in Him, as I did when I had the vision on December 15th. I was in Him, I existed in Him in a way I cannot describe. I saw to a degree with the eyes of God, knowing more how He loves, how He looks deeply into the soul of the other and loves them. No longer looking at their body, but looking beyond to their soul. Seeing them, so clearly, in their fears and joys, seeing what is really them, not their body. It was a place far beyond what I know and love deeply each one, knowing them in their soul, it is as He sees them and loves them so deeply.

    Yesterday at Mass I saw how the priest must be open to give the love of Jesus to all. The priest being so identified with Christ. They were chosen by God to be a priest. Persona-Christi. ??

    The Word is a two-edged sword. How deeply I understand this. The person reading the Word should be so holy, focused on God, not themselves - delivering the Word in Him.

    This is how it is with the priest when He says the Mass. He puts on Christ. He should identify with Christ offering the Holy Sacrifice to the Father. I want to see Christ in him - so holy - so one with Christ as he celebrates the Mass not thinking of himself or his glory, identifying with Jesus, being so one in Jesus. Emptying his mind of his own glory and focusing on the glory of God, not focusing on problems he has, not being distracted before. So one in the Mass. They identify with Christ. It is the duty that the priest puts on Christ in all His actions. When the priest does this, we will not have a problem with vocations. The role modeling must be there. Young men need to see that this is a great calling, God calling a man to be a priest.

    Likewise we all are as God intends us to be according to how we put on Christ and He lives in this world in us. My most fervent prayer is for grace that He will live in me.

    Oh, sweet Jesus, You are my sunrise, my rest after a long day, my comfort in the dark night, my dearest love. My sweet Jesus, that I could kiss forever Your wounded head and the wounds in your hands and feet and know You suffered for me, that I too may carry my cross with love and be, as You are in me, to the world.

    I love You with my every cell and give myself entirely to You, every hair, every speck of myself, that You will possess me and live in me. I am yours, my beloved, sweet, adorable, wonderful Jesus.

(He told me to read the message of February 17, 1994.)

Seek True Treasures

February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.

I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.

You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?

The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.

Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom.

You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life–one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people's lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday's forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.

Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love!

If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power!

Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important.

Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself.

You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today's moments, yesterday's forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important?

Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it.

Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn't stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday's forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end.

Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many.

Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday's forgotten treasure.

Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

 

March 14, 1996

Seeing the Moments of Your Life as Part of Eternity

R. (Caught in love's embrace - This is really real. I knew at Mass that all I know about God is real and I was plunged into such deep joy, I cried.)

From Blue Book II - February 17th "It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on."

R. Magnify the moments of your life in its sorrow or its joy, to see the picture of your life here and hereafter. The focus is on the whole, the moment is magnified for it is part of your life forever. To focus on the moment is drudgery, it goes nowhere. It must be played in the context of your whole life - here and hereafter. To realize the moment as part of the whole is "give all you can for your treasure is in heaven. Give all you can to all. Live to love God and others as God intends and love yourself as God intends, being one with all our brothers in the human family of God."

    To live the moment in this life as an end is a disaster. To live the moment as part of the whole plan is joy. To live the moment as an end means I must squeeze it for all the selfish pleasure I can derive; to live the moment as part of my life here and hereafter means I must give all to that moment for the love of God and love of all, to live for eternity.

    To live the moment as an end makes me tired sometimes, always seeking selfish gratification. To live the moment as eternity, as the end gives me energy for building the Kingdom of God.

Jesus: I have all the power. Take off your blinders, see your world through the eyes of God. (R. This takes grace - we must go to the Eucharist - give ourselves to Him.)

March 2, 1994 "You cannot love intimately if you hold back."

R. Priests need to open their hearts. I need to open my heart, become one with all, one in God – living the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    I unite in this depth of my soul with others. (I saw Ellen's heart as if I saw with eyes unveiled what God sees: the love, the reflection of God, within the person.)

    As we are joined within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we become more and more holy and reflect His love. I want to be in Their Hearts that He lives in me in this world and He is doing His work through me. What a great honor that He uses me to do His work.

    I unite in my heart with everybody else, in deep, brotherly love, rooted in Him. He is not heavy, he is my brother – You are my brother. Who is my brother, sister? We are all one in Him.

    Relationships lose their importance – we are ALL brothers. But, He shows us the importance of blood ties too - in that respect, relationships are important.

    We do not understand the Divine mind. I see this – in no way would I see it as He sees it – He makes it so clear and I see as He sees. It widens my vision. It is a grace whereby I see. It is not the way I see in my human mind at all.

    We have to quit reaching for the heights in analyzing problems from a human point and put our efforts into giving to Him so we get Divine wisdom.

    No man sees as the Divine Mind sees unless God gives him insight into the mystery with a special grace, but all things were created with the Divine Mind and run by the Divine Mind so to know, really know, is to know as He knows for it is beyond our comprehension. Only in His great goodness, He releases insights into His Divine Wisdom to us and we comprehend more of the mystery through His grace.

    There is no way that I see as He sees, or that I love as He loves, unless He gives me the capability to be more like Him.

    Loving as He loves - Jesus wants us to be more and more like His Heart. If we saw a graced soul, (I saw Ellen's heart - I know Ellen - it was not what I looked at, her body - it was her heart, her love.) We see the body; He sees the soul.

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
$ 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

Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual. The Shepherds of Christ has prayer chapters all over the world praying for the priests, the Church and the world. These prayers that Father Carter compiled in the summer of 1994 began this worldwide network of prayer. Currently the prayers are in eight languages with the Church’s Imprimatur. We have prayed daily for the priests, the Church, and the world since 1994. Associates are called to join prayer Chapters and help us circulate the newsletter centered on spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and helping to renew the Church through greater holiness. Please form a Prayer Chapter & order a Prayer Manual.

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
