                R. Sin offends God so much —
                Jesus died for our sins —
                We can minimize sin —
                Satan says - you didn't sin
                Satan doesn't want the truth —
                Satan is a liar
                Satan wants prideful men, sinning

                God loves us so much
                He sent His Son Jesus into the
                    world to pay for our sins —

                Our whole life is to be our 'yes' to
                    the Father's will —

                Our 'yes' in love to serve God with our
                    whole heart, our whole soul, our
                    whole being —

                We see the shedding of blood of the Old Testament —
                Christ, the Lamb of God, shed His Blood
                    for us

                Mary's image appeared in Clearwater December 17, 1996 —
                    I got this message about blood — 2 days
                    later and 5 days later

   

Excerpt from December 19, 1996

...And the light shown in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not, but to as many as responded, they became the children of the light and from them His life flowed into the hearts that were cold and dark and slowly, very slowly, the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood He shed to give us life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace, but those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God—that the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered a great chastisement. Many were left to death, but the children of light prayed the rosary and trusted in God...

Excerpt from December 22, 1996

Jesus:  ...And the moon will be covered with blood. It was the blood of the Lamb and it poured forth on a sinful world to cleanse them of their sin, and I give you My Body and Blood in the Mass and I am ignored...

                R. Men rejected the self-communication
                    of God in original sin —

                Yet God's desire to give Himself to man
                    was not withdrawn —

                God determined to save man from his
                    sinfulness and thereafter
                    the divine communication
                    centered around the promised Redeemer —

                In the age prior to the coming of Christ,
                salvation history was rooted in the Mosaic
                    period —

                At the heart of this Mosaic era was the
                    great salvific event of the exodus —

                Through this event Yahweh led the Israelites
                    out of Egyptian slavery and under
                    Moses formed them into His People —

                Blood, Fr. Carter says, signifies life for the Jews —
                Yahweh and His People were sealed with
                    sacrificial blood —

   

Exodus 12: 12-13

That night, I shall go through Egypt and strike down all the first-born in Egypt, man and beast alike, and shall execute justice on all the gods of Egypt, I, Yahweh! The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are. When I see the blood I shall pass over you, and you will escape the destructive plague when I strike Egypt.

   

                R. Covenant —
                    the gift of God's love given to man —
                    His undaunted love —
                    Relationship is love —
                    Agreement, Pack —

                As man, Christ makes the perfect
                    response to God for all men
                    This response includes both His
                    love for His Father and His
                    relationship in love with men —

   

John 17: 20-26

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
    will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
    and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
    it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
    you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
    that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
    as you have loved me.

Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them a
nd will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.

   

                R. The entire life of Christ was this
                    perfect response

                Christ's response was centered in death/resurrection

                Christ conquered sin and He rose into
                    a more perfect type of life,
                    the life of Resurrection —

                It was through His Blood which
                    made the transition possible
                    and which sealed the new
                    covenant —

                We are incorporated into Christ
                    through baptism —
                    We are to live this special life in
                        Christ in holiness and love —
                        growing in greater intimacy
                        with the God-head —

                The life of holiness, Fr. Carter says, is to
                    be lived out in community —
                    "In other words, the Christian",
                    Fr. Carter says, "lives in Christ within
                    the People of God within the Church.
                    This stress of contemporary
                    spirituality upon the communal aspect
                    of Christian holiness is firmly rooted
                    in God's revealed truth.

                Throughout salvation history God has
                    lovingly communicated Himself to
                    man within the covenant framework
                    with its communal dimension.
                    He has also asked for man's response
                    in love within this same covenant
                    framework."
 

 

                "The Church", Fr. Carter says "in union with
                    Christ is the new covenant.
                    Since Christ is Head of His Church,
                    it follows that the Church with her
                    members must live out the covenant
                    life according to the structure which
                    Christ gives her.

                The Christian life is a response to God's
                    gift of Himself —

                Each Christian has a special responsibility
                    and privilege. No one else can offer
                    Christ the unique opportunity of
                    reincarnating Himself as can
                    this or that particular Christian —

                To the extent that he fails to do so, to that
                    degree Christ has lost the opportunity
                    to reincarnate Himself through
                    this humanity —

                The Christian life can be conceived as
                    the Christian permitting Christ to live
                    more and more through his total person"

 

Galatians 2: 20

and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

 

                R. The ways we allow Christ to live in us
                    is rooted in love —
                    Love of the Father
                    Love of men

 

1 John 4: 17-21

  1. Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

 

                Rahner says
                    "the present age is in need of a sound
                    asceticism"

                Christian asceticism embraces a
                    constant reasonable control of the total person.

                Fr. Carter says "asceticism ... embraces the reality of
                    selflessness, a gradual going out
                    from self-centeredness. As the
                    Christian grows, his existential frame
                    of reference becomes more and
                    more Christ and others ... paradoxically,
                    the more the Christian goes out of himself,
                    the more he authentically becomes himself,
                    the more he becomes a true person."
                    "Asceticism and other expressions of the
                    Christian life involve the exercise of
                    the infused virtues, both theological and
                    moral."

 

Prayer for Union with Jesus

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

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

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

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

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

   

                R. A religious takes a special promise to
                    live the life in a covenant with
                    Jesus as their Spouse — to live in
                    an order — usually under poverty,
                    chastity and obedience —

                 Fr. Carter says
                    "Christ and His members complete
                    the work of redemption"

                    "The Church, therefore, is the earthly
                    continuation of Christ's redemptive
                    Incarnation."

                Fr. Carter says:
                    no one can fulfill this unique role
                    of the Christian —
                    except the individual Christian —

                The devil tells the person they are all good
                    or all bad — this is not humility —
                    humility is truth —

                To thank God for the good things one has
                    accomplished —
                    to recognize and be sorry and repent for
                        sins and pray for grace to die to
                        those failings in us to live more
                        deeply our lives likened to Christ —

                    Death/Resurrection —

                Fr. Carter says "Each Christian is an unique imitation
                    of the Trinity — Through each Christian
                    Christ wants to continue His
                    redemptive Incarnation in a special way"

                Christ as Prophet

                Fr. Carter says
                    "A prophet, then, in terms of salvation
                    history is a specially commissioned
                    teacher sent by God to His People —
                    What is the task of the prophet?
                    His role is in some way to reveal
                    God and God's plan for man's
                    salvation and sanctification"

                Jesus speaks
                    "I am the way, the truth and the life"

                Fr. Carter says
                    "Perhaps because there are too few
                    such Christian witnesses, Christianity
                    has failed to make the desired
                    imprint upon civilization —
                    For it is only when mankind sees the
                    truth of Christ concretely lived out
                    by Christians that such truth
                    has the power to draw men to Christ
                    and His Church in any great numbers"

                We need blood to live —
                It is By His  Blood we are saved!
                Jesus shed His Blood for our
                    sins —

                Adam and Eve sinned —
                Adam and Eve were naked —

                There was now shame after sin —

                Cain sinned
                Cain shed Abel's blood —
                Cain was branded —

                Abraham is willing to offer
                    his precious son —

                Abraham is willing to offer
                    the blood of his
                    son as a sacrifice —

                God tested Abraham to see
                    about his faith —
                    about his love —

                Abraham was obedient to God —

                The Father, Abraham, offered
                    his precious son
                    in obedience —

                Then Moses —
                    The shedding of blood —
                        The lamb and the blood spread
                            on the door post of the
                            Israelites —
                            they were not killed —

                        Then the first born of the
                            Egyptians were killed —

                        The Israelites wandered then —
                            they were disobedient —

                They grumbled —
                They were bitten by serpents

                Moses put the brass serpent
                    hung up —

                Moses lifted the serpent in
                    the desert —

                All who looked on the brass serpent were
                    healed —

                Christ died on a cross —
   

 

                    R. and when we look at Christ —
                    go to Mass — the sacrifice of Calvary
                        made present —
                    we can be healed —

                Jesus took on all our sins —
                Jesus carried our sins on His back —
                Jesus died for all the sins —
                Jesus shed His Blood —
                Jesus, the sacrifice, for our sins —
                Jesus took on our sins
                Jesus gives us the priest to celebrate
                    Mass

                Jesus is the Savior
                We need Jesus
                Jesus shed His Blood —
                Jesus, the Lamb of God —
                Atonement
                Sacrifice —

                Offering sacrifice —

                The Mass the sacrifice of Calvary
                    sacramentally made present —

                Jesus, the Lamb of God,
                    who takes away the sin
                    of the world —

                Some have guilt and sin
                Rationalizing guilt
                Instead of confessing and being forgiven
                One can keep the sins hidden
                Which stay in there in guilt

                Hiding sin and lying to oneself
                    about the sin — keeping
                    it hidden deep —

                Guilt — Hidden inside
                because one lies —

                When we sin we hurt
                     Relationship 
                        with God —
                        with others
                        with ourselves

                Confession helps restore
                    this relationship with
                    God and others

                We are created to live
                    in the truth —
                    hidden lies to ourselves
                    turn into hidden guilt —

                Christ shed His blood
                    so our sins could be
                    forgiven

 

                Jesus: Time goes by in petty pace —
                When you are young you think you
                have all the time in the world,
                but soon you find you can't do what
                you used to do —

                    The body ages while the soul
                should be more perfected in love
                more in My image and likeness —
                A fool continues disobeying the
                commandments of God, but they
                don't know God — they become more
                and more blinded and they want
                themselves to be more important —

 

 

                Jesus: Who do you seek to please FIRST —
                How is your love for God —
                I have called you by name —

                You can answer or do your
                    own will —

                Don't let the sun go down
                    on your anger — Satan is
                    so strong —

                Sing: Come to Me Lord and Possess My Soul
                    Come into my heart and permeate my soul

                R. Oh God please come to our aid —

                Oneness

                Love of God

                Unity with God

                Love of others

                Time goes on in petty pace —

                Jesus: I am the bread of life —
                    I gift you abundantly —
                    to help others to come to Me —
                    to be witnesses in the religious life —
                    to be witnesses in one's vocation —
                    to be servants
                            handmaids
                            apostles in the Shepherds of Christ —
                            giving My message of love, obedience
                            and truth to the world —
                            I am Jesus the Son of God

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 - 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 - 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 - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) — Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10

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.

Holy Spirit Novena Booklet.

All these prayers take about 10 minutes daily recited out loud. $1

Spirituality Handbook. Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. did 3 synopsis of the spiritual life. The Spirituality Handbook, the Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3 and the Tell My People book. The way of spiritual life proposed to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates is centered in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. All aspects of the spiritual life discussed below should be viewed as means to help members develop their lives in consecration to Christ, the Sacred Heart, and to Mary, the Immaculate Heart. $3
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
