                May 17, 2014

                R. We are called to put on the mind of Christ.
                We are given the sacrament of baptism to
                live a new life in Him. We are transformed
                in Him through baptism – we receive
                a sharing in His life. This sharing in His life
                He gives to us and it is nurtured by Himself for
                He feeds us with His Body and His Blood.

                     A person is to be reaching out to God
                to work in Him so he becomes more and
                more in the image and likeness of God.
                This is a constant process of changing
                from the ways not like Christ, bad habits
                we have because of our wounded human
                nature and seeking God's grace to more
                and more abundantly to fill us to
                be as He wants us to be. We want the virtues
                to be more and more our way of living
                and acting as we are increasing in
                faith, hope and love; for in baptism
                God has elevated our knowing and loving
                capacity and we share in His knowing
                and loving activity.

                    This means that one is to die to those
                bad habits or vices one has developed
                in pride – wanting to always be right –
                wanting dominance for dominance sake –
                wanting to be spiritually better than others –
                giving satan our power to try to discredit
                those over us and raise up over others,
                where God is asking for a simple, obedient,
                loving heart to work with to help to
                promote the Kingdom of God and show others
                how Christ is living in them and they act as
                a witness showing others what it
                means to be a Christian. They witness
                to Christ as He showed us when He walked
                the earth.

                Jesus: I have given so many writings telling you the
                secrets of My loving Heart and how I loved
                you to My death on the cross.

                    The man who wishes others to come after
                him can live his whole life missing the
                mystery I tell you how to lovingly serve God
                and do His will – out of love for God and
                love for others.

                    Bitterness in the heart that is fed
                by the attitude I am right – you are wrong
                is like a cancer that grows and is
                very ugly.

                    One being a servant is loving for the
                sake of serving God and loving others
                and that is his motive for acting. His faith
                in God is ever increasing for he is knowing
                and developing his knowing capacity more
                and more, because his actions are to
                serve God and to seek to
                love God's will, as Mary loved the will of God.

                    The proud man is always justifying why
                he is right and others are wrong, why he
                is good and others are bad. He is not
                understanding what it means to purely
                want God's will with all his heart and
                soul and being, and to live the few
                days and months and years he has
                in loving. I showed you love, when
                I walked the earth. The tainted man
                is locked in self-enclosure and is
                not loving God or his brothers.

                    Love builds up the Kingdom of God.
                Love does not act out of bitterness
                and revenge – seeking to prove your
                brother wrong and you right – such
                activity comes from an angry heart.

                    You are a "new creation" in the life
                of grace. You are given so much love
                from Me. A man who is putting on
                Christ is not stuck in the deadly
                sins of envy, pride, jealousy,
                proving you are right and others
                are wrong.

                    A man putting on Christ is wanting
                to serve God because he loves the
                will of the Father, and he though he
                has to go through suffering in serving
                God – he is not being bitter in
                his heart toward his brother. People
                with bitter hearts cannot work with
                others to work things out. They have
                certain others they are angry at and are
                always doing things toward them,
                dumping bitterness – not doing what
                they do for love.

                    The heart was made for love. You were put
                here to learn to love. To act in love toward
                your brothers and to love Me first
                before yourself. You are to put on a new
                heart of love and die to the old bitter
                ways, you harbor in your heart.

                    A person is to be an instrument of
                love, of serving God in love. If a person
                is caught up in deep seated anger and
                darkness that is not healed, they are
                like a clogged vessel. They may operate
                and perform works, but their hearts
                are not growing in love and unity
                in loving and serving Me.

                    Actions according to the Father's
                will, should come from a heart of
                love to serve God and to want to
                do it gives happiness to their heart.

                    As a person deepens in faith, hope and
                love, they grow in the life of holiness,
                they grow in the image and likeness
                of God, they share in the Mystery
                of My life. The Mystery is the Mystery
                of God's love. In loving, there is not
                darkness in the heart, darkness
                of getting even, raising over your
                brother, trying to prove you are
                right over authority, envy, anger,
                pride, jealousy.

                    Your whole life is to be lived to
                learn to love. If a person was wounded
                severely in love and never healed and
                they fool themselves about their anger
                and getting even with others they are
                coming from dark hearts and this anger
                that they need to die to, can be let go
                of, if they cooperate with the grace the
                Holy Spirit may give them to be sanctified.
                Growing in holiness – means growing
                in love and being a witness in love
                before others. You are to re-live the
                Mysteries of Death/Resurrection
                in your lives.

                    I show you My Sacred Heart, which is a
                Heart of love. The Shepherds of Christ Movement
                is to teach the world about the Hearts
                of love, My Heart and My Mother.
                If anger and getting even, if being
                right over those over you is why
                you act in bitterness – you are
                not a witness to My Heart.

                     A man talked about a dinner that was
                a beautiful occasion for all who came
                to the Feast –

                    When the people showed up for
                the Feast – the other men, angry men were
                full of anger and did not welcome
                those who came, but started conflict,
                confusion to ruin the event.

                    The man who invited all to the Feast
                had laid precious love and gifts
                to give to his guests and some who were
                to help him with the feast were
                angry in their hearts and they
                came to ruin the beauty of
                the generous man's offering. So
                the people who were invited never
                returned for the angry hearts were
                spreading darkness, where the generous
                man wanted light and happiness and joy.

                    Putting on Christ means growing in the
                Mystery of My love. It means focusing
                on the will of God. It means loving
                God first and loving your brother and
                going out in love to your brother
                and spreading the Good News.

                    On the 7th day of Creation God
                rested. I give you the Lord's Day
                on Sunday to serve Me – to worship
                God, to grow in love with your
                brothers. You are to be a witness
                before men and a heart of love
                and light.

                    Many men have called themselves
                Christians, Christ-like, and because
                of their pride and anger and self-focus,
                their bitterness – they do not come
                from a heart of love – likened to Mine.
                When they are free on Sunday and not
                occupied – they give little love to
                Me – they are coming in anger before
                others, always some ambition of
                their own.
 

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

 

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

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

   

                Jesus: I call you to work in love and to work
                in the will of God, to love the will of
                God – to be a servant of the Lord –
                to love – to really do what you do in
                serving God, because you love the
                will of God and you love God and
                love others and you are living the
                Pascal Mystery of Death/Resurrection
                in your lives, living the Mystery of
                My Life in your life. You are
                living like the saints – The Holy Spirit
                is working in your heart as you
                die to tainted, selfish, self-promoting,
                ways and put on My way –
                You live in My truth
                You walk the way God has called
                you to walk in your vocation –
                with love in your heart for
                God and others. You re-live
                My mysteries in your lives.
                You are holy in your interior
                disposition – there is no guile and
                bitterness, no darkness in your heart,
                it is a heart more and more consumed
                with love for God and others –
                A pure heart of love –
                Give your heart to My Mother –
                to her Immaculate Heart and allow the
                Holy Spirit to sanctify you –
                Live My Mysteries of Death/Resurrection
                in your lives, living according
                to the Father's will in love.

                Do you see how the Heavenly Father
                had Me live so many years in
                the hidden life – doing the ordinary
                things of life with such love.
                Look at My life and how it
                was hidden for 30 years –
                What does this hidden life mean in
                your life, for your ways of living?
                You are to grow in your life in
                My image and likeness, to see your
                actions in love according to the
                Father's will as helping in the work
                of redemption.
 

                    From the Introduction of Blue Book 11

Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

In schematic outline we have discussed the manner in which the baptized Christian extends his Mass to his daily existence. As he so lives out his Mass, he is becoming more Christlike. He becomes a more perfect priest and victim for his next participation in the eucharistic sacrifice.42 The beautiful cycle which the Mass contains lies exposed before us. As part of this cycle the Christian is intimately involved in the process of continued redemption. The Mass is the center of the Christian life: “. . . the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the fount from which all her power flows.” 43

42. For a current treatment of the varied richness of the Eucharist, cf. J. Wicks, “The Movement of Eucharistic Theology” in Chicago Studies, Vol. 10 (1971), pp. 267-284.

November 21, 2013

Jesus: I call you to live your lives as devout members of the mystical body of Christ. I have given these writings that men will realize that they are to live united deeply to the Mass going on around the world. Your lives, given as an offering, a sacrifice every moment in union with the Mass going on around the world. Your life, a sacrifice, offered to the Father, in union with the Mass in oneness with Me, in the Holy Spirit through the intercession of the Blessed Mother with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.

Your lives given as members of My mystical body can help to bring down great graces for the priest, the Church and the world.

Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

“How does the Christian help Christ redeem the world? (Henceforth the term “world” is to be understood as including both rational and nonrational creation.) As previously stated, the Christian helps Christ redeem the world by reliving Christ’s mysteries. The same “events” or mysteries which accomplished the objective redemption further the subjective redemption also. Since at the heart of Christ’s mysteries are His death and Resurrection, it is especially these that the Christian must relive. As the Christian dies mystically with Christ through loving conformity with the Father’s will, he rises with Christ to an ever greater share in the Resurrection, in the newness of life, in the life of grace. As the Christian in this manner relives the paschal mystery of Christ, he is accomplishing not only his own redemption, but he is also, in a mysterious yet real manner, helping Christ redeem the world.”

                Jesus: You are called to help to Christianize
                    the world. These prayers I have
                    given in these prayer chapters
                    need to be spread to the whole
                    world – where you are praying
                    for the priests, the Church and the
                    world.

                Your whole life, united to the Mass, living
                in love as an offering, according to
                the Father's will can help the whole
                world.

                I have given you the books of My writings
                on the Mass.

  

                Jesus: I have given you the Morning Offering.
 

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the Will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the Will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His Will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and rosary meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ Chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit.

I unite with our Mother, Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart.

I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart. Amen.

 

 

                Jesus: I have given you these prayers.

                Jesus: You can help the
                family of the Father by living your
                lives as members of My Mystical
                Body.

                    You are to desire to see My image
                printed on the world – more and more –
                My image printed more and more on
                the hearts of the faithful in Church.
                Your life is lived to live out the
                Mystery of Death/Resurrection.
                The man who bears false witness of
                what a Christian really is by
                an angry, bitter, unloving
                selfish heart – hurts the men
                who are labeling Christians
                by their selfish ways.

                    You are to live your lives, as members
                of the Mystical Body, united to the
                Mass and love the Father's will –
                The man with the dark heart, can
                call himself a Christian and live
                to prove himself to the world.

                    You can live out the Mass in
                your lives, dying and rising in Me –
                You are called to help in the work
                of redemption – not be full of
                anger and bitterness, but have
                hearts – generous and full of
                love.

                    Meditate on how I lived the
                quiet life and I am the Son of God.
                You are to become more and more in
                My image and likeness –
                You are to pray for your priests to
                be more perfect priests and
                pray for yourself to be more and
                more in My image and likeness.

 

Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter January/February 1997

Thoughts on the Eucharist

Our personal relationship with Christ is characterized by the realization of the great, personal love of His Heart for each of us and of our need to love Him in return. The chief source for growth in the personal relationship with Jesus is the Eucharist. The Catechism tells us: "The Eucharist is 'the source and summit of the Christian life.' The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and work of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole good of the Church, namely Christ himself, Our Pasch."5

5. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 1324.

  

                Jesus: You are to live My Father's will
                    in love –

                I gave Myself doing the will
                    of My Father in love for
                    you!

                Song: A Song from Jesus


 

                Jesus: You should desire to die more
                    and more in Me – desire to die
                    more and more to your self-will –

                As you unite in such oneness to
                    My Father's will in love –
                    you die to your self-will –
                    Your life is an offering –

                The Heavenly Father always
                    accepts the Eucharistic
                    sacrifice.

                    the whole Church –

I Lay Down My Life for My Sheep

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and runs away, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep; he runs away because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep. (Jn 10:11-15)1

Yes, the Good Shepherd laid down His life for us. And it is in this that we must lay down our lives daily in the Morning Offering, offering all we do as a sacrifice united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and great grace will be released for souls. We can identify with Him in this that we offer everything we do in trying to please Him and serve Him as a sacrifice united to the Mass. The more we tell others to pray the Morning Offering, the more people will lay down their lives for souls and the more grace will be released for the troubled hearts.

Jesus’ Heart is pure and holy, our hearts are tainted.

Mary’s Heart is pure and sinless. The more we unite our offering with Their pure and holy Hearts, the more pure our offering and the greatest grace will be released for the troubled souls.

Souls, it is souls He came to save. Do we want to identify with our beloved Savior? Then we must not miss an opportunity to lay down our lives as a sacrifice for His precious souls.

Oh, how His Heart burned with love for the souls when He mounted the cross, covered with Blood and gave Himself as a sacrifice for souls.

Yes, the Good Shepherd laid down His life for His flock and we as His faithful shepherds must lay down our lives for His flock today.

There are millions of elderly that cry out daily, "Oh, God why am I here today?" In giving them a small card as simple as the ones that follow, they can offer their lives for souls which can help bring down great grace for the souls of this earth.

Say daily

God, I give you my life in union
with the Mass as an offering for
the souls, the Church and the
priests

Help us!

      



Your life is so important for souls, 
you can help bring down great grace.

 

      

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. 

I unite with our Mother Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the sacred Heart.

I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart. Amen.

Imprimatur: Most Reverend Daniel E. Pilarczyk, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, January 22, 1997. (applies to this prayer only)


Offering Our Lives to God

Written May 29, 2000:

When we come to Mass we make an offering of ourselves, all our sorrows, wounds, joys, our complete selves. We see our lives and we put ourselves in Mary’s Heart, ask to make the offering in greatest purity. In His Heart we offer the sacrifice IN HIM and WITH HIM.

We become one with Him as deeply as possible. We dwell in His most perfect Heart offering sacrifice to God for our sins and the sins of men. Our whole being is very active in the Mass as we realize more the power of this Sacrifice most worthily offered. We want to give ourselves as completely as possible, our past, all of ourselves, now become so one in the moment of sacrifice as we become one in Him pleading and begging to our God for purification, for help, for love of Him and all others. We give thanksgiving, worship and honor to Him, our whole being given as a sacrifice on the altar IN His pure and holy Heart. Being in the Immaculate Heart of our Mother, we offer sacrifice for the Church and the world.

We offer every precious moment of our lives, united to the Masses around the world, being one in Jesus. Every moment is a moment of sacrifice united to God. This is what we do in the Morning Offering.

The pages of the book of our lives are being written. These moments of our lives are so dear to God, for we offer our lives as a sacrifice for souls.

Are we spending the precious moments of our lives offering sacrifice to God for His honor and glory and giving our lives as a sacrifice for souls?

Write a short page every day or the following day, similar to an examination of conscience, seeing the good (so much good we accomplish we overlook, so many precious moments of joy we forget) and the times we were troubled.

The devil tries to keep us focused on the problems.

We are His shepherds, helping to shepherd His flock, there is so much good we can accomplish every day.

We should write a short page every day, date it, read over it when we are troubled, keep it in a book, see how many joyful moments we have every day.

Give them to God as a bouquet of flowers placed at His feet on that last day, the pages of the life of our book.

We will want all pages to be done in love, all for the honor and glory of God.

 

 


Through Him, With Him
and In Him

We should pray the prayer from Jesus before His bitter passion.

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 and 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. (Jn 17: 20-26)

Jesus’ Heart is on fire for love of us.

God the Father loves us so much, give Him the moments of our lives as a sacrifice.

Peace, Love, Oneness – One Body In Him.

Our prayers are answered. We must pray from the depth of our hearts. Giving ourselves in consecration to Jesus, consecrating our hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Offer sacrifice.

Put the flowers as gifts beneath the throne of God.

Plead and beg for souls.

Offer sacrifice. Be united as a body.

And the bell tolls.

Do you hear the bells toll?

The moments of our lives we cannot live again.

We are here to love and honor God and to serve Him, to prepare ourselves for the life hereafter and to help others get there.

He is the Son of God.

He showed us how to be children of the Father.

He laid down His life for His flock.

He is the Good Shepherd.

We lay down our lives in our Morning Offering.

We lay down our lives and unite to the perfect Sacrifice of the Savior.

The moments go by with such swiftness and now here is the day, the kids are grown, the grandchildren have come, and we still say, "TOMORROW I will be about my union with God."

There are so many precious moments that could have been united as a sacrifice for special grace for ourselves and others.

When He was here on earth, He merited grace by His life and death.

We need to tap into this grace our Divine Savior came to earth to gain for us.

We must tap into this sacrifice.

The moments of our lives tick away. There are millions of souls in nursing homes that could be offering up their lives for souls. We have to unite ourselves and reach them, all the souls that will hear us and unite to this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. He is the Head, we are the members of His body, the Church. We must be united in the Mass, praying every moment together, being one in Him in this Holy Sacrifice so that great grace will be released.

All our most difficult trials, when we endure them with love, can help to bring down great grace.

The moment is now.

The bell is tolling.

I can only live in this moment.

I must unite it to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying for souls.

Every moment, whether of joy or suffering, can be a moment of grace being released for our needs, for the salvation of souls, to make reparation to God, to honor and love Him and obey Him.

OUR LIVES ARE INDEED PRECIOUS, every moment, a moment that our Father gave us as a child of God for His honor and glory.

Alleluia – God, help us unite as a body.

Alleluia – God, help us to see ourselves all one as the family of the Father with Mary our loving Mother.

How will the page of our book look for the Father? Whether we write or not, we lived it as He willed or we lived it against His will.

Were our moments, moments to give Him honor and glory, to help promote the kingdom, to help save souls and lead others to God? Did the moments help us have a higher place in heaven? Did we mature more in our love relationship with God?
