Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Joyful Mysteries


 
                The Annunciation

                (1) We have a duty to give love to God.
                    God wants our hearts to be undivided.

                (2) God can come to the little and humble heart.
                    Imitate the humility of Jesus.

                (3) Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother
                    of Jesus. Mary was conceived without
                    sin. Mary is the Immaculate Conception.
                    There was not a stain of any sin in Mary.
                    There was no deadly sins in heaven.

                (4) God calls us in life to prepare.
                    He created us in His image and likeness.
                    God created us in love.
                    God commands us to love Him with
                    our whole heart, our whole soul,
                    our whole being.
                    Who are we to say to God I won't
                        give you real heart-felt love.

June 30, 2019 12:32 AM


R. This is so beautiful.

Mary’s face is so pure.

So filled with light and love.

So very perfect.

She tells of her Immaculate Heart.

Mary: Oh My sweet children,

I urge you to live virtuously and pray for your country and this election.

God has allowed me to appear Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas and given this Movement to spread this devotion to my Immaculate Heart and my Son Jesus’ Sacred Heart burning with love for you.

The devil is pure hate.

Pray the prayer Jesus gave for your country.

Oh my children I warn you unless you pray, you will suffer more than you could ever imagine.

Help me spread this devotion to Our Two Hearts and this prayer now.

Unless a sufficient number of people consecrate their hearts to my Immaculate Heart and Jesus' Sacred Heart you will not have peace in your hearts and peace in the world.

Your Heavenly Father has allowed me to appear here and in Clearwater.

Oh children it is a warning and a gift I give you.

Please listen to me and help me.

Satan has tempted some to turn their hearts to darkness, hatred and to stone.

Some refuse to give anything but pride, jealousy and envy, treating God and all others as hateful enemies.

Oh children Our Hearts are pure love.

Give love.

Give yourselves in love.

Love God’s will, obey God. Don’t rebel against God who loves you so much.

You have a duty to love God.

You were created by God to love Him.

Don’t listen to Satan.
He wants to destroy, tear apart, divide.

God calls you to build up His Kingdom in love, in joy, willingly in great happiness, as servants of the Almighty God.

God loves you so much.

God is your Father.

I am your Mother.

Oh children, be holy, sanctified, loving, kind and pure.

Love one another, love God.

Thank you for responding to my call.
I love you,
I am your mother, Mary.❤♥

                (6) July 1, 2019 continues

                    R. Jesus was conceived in the womb of
                    Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit.
                    Jesus is the Divine Seed.
                    The more Jesus is in us, the more
                    we bring forth fruit for the
                    Kingdom.

                (7) God gave us a heart - to be likened
                    to Mary and Jesus and bring forth
                    love as we are rooted in love.
                    The heart is a seed to produce
                    good fruit. God is love –

                (8) When Mary appears she is so beautiful
                    Mary is filled with light and love.

                (9) God wants us to tell Him we are
                    sorry when we sin. Many do not
                    repair the breach – they deny
                    sin, hate, anger, pride,
                    jealousy, envy, slothfulness –
                    These are the deadly sins –
                    They come from giving into
                    satan –
                    This drives us away from God
                        living in the deadly sins
                        and leads to darkness.
                    Happiness is in God.

The Holy Spirit And Mary

The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: "Christian life is the reproduction of Jesus in souls…

"Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.

"In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him…

"That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.

"Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.

"Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.

"These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the co-operation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life. mm

"Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant." 18

                The Visitation

                (1) Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

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
 


 (4) 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.

 

 

                (5) May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father

My Father,

        With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.

        It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.

        My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.

        And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.

        I beg You Father for mercy.
        I beg You Father for assistance.
        I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.

        Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.

        Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.

        Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.

        We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
        We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia
 

                (6) Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

e) Relationship with Members of the Church

There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.

The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.

The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.

This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14 And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.

The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15 The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16

The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.

Not only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.17

                (7) Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).
 

                (8) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Healing

We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.
 

                    R. A person must want to be healed,
                    to be healed.
                    A person in pain can decide they
                    will not ever look at the pain,
                    it was painful enough the
                    first time.
                    Wounds from the past, from
                    relationships in love, need
                    to be brought up, dug out
                    and dealt with – like a
                    cancer, unless to do so
                    would hurt the person
                    worse - like a child etc.

                (9) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for Strength and Light

We adore You, oh Holy Spirit. Give us strength, give us light, console us. We give ourselves entirely to You. Oh Spirit of light and grace, we want to only do the will of the Father. Enlighten us that we may live always in the Father's will.

Eternal Spirit fill us with Your Divine Wisdom that we may comprehend more fully insight into Your Divine Mysteries.

Give us lights, Oh Holy Spirit that we may know God. Work within the heart, the spiritual womb of the Virgin Mary, to form us more and more into the image of Jesus.
 

                (10) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer to Be One with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

We long for You, Oh Spirit of Light, we long to know God, we want to be one with Him, our Divine God. We want to be one with the Father, know Him as a Person most intimately. We want to know the beloved One, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and live and dwell in Him at all times, every moment of our lives. We want to be one with You, Oh Spirit of Light, that You move in us in our every breath.

                (1) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts

We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.
  

                    R. Birthing –

     From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us. 

Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord. As we dwell in the Heart of Mary, Your spouse, fashion us more and more according to the Heart of Jesus.   end of excerpt

Scriptural Reflections

In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.

Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.

Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".

skip if you feel the need,
slow down and stop –
look at the earth –
study some “dumb old weed”.

Little girl walk your path,
open your heart to love –
to love one another –
That is all you need do –
Love God and love others as yourself –

Little girl walk your path,
turn your life over to Me
if I watch out for the leaves –
do you think I would not
watch out for thee –

Little girl walk your path,
looking to others, but
God knows and you know that
you are to be one with God first –

R. I love the rain on a warm
dark day – to hear its calm
pitter, patter – There is something
about rain, that makes me
feel that nothing else matters –
It helps me let go.
When it’s warm outside and
the rain comes there is
comfort in sitting out
under and when it is cold
there is pleasure in
listening to rain on the roof –

I think I may not always
feel the pleasure in the rain,
I feel today, but in quiet
moments of my life that
is when the rain has gain.

I love to listen, I love to just
be in the moment –
if I only take the time –
it is precious moments like this
God has given us the rain.

After my mom died at 5, I would
sit by the window at the Carson
house upstairs and stare at the
rain drops as they fell and changed
on the window. They were so
beautiful and it comforted my little
heart thinking of the rain drops and
the mystery of life and death and mom
who died of cancer when I was so little
and left 5 children motherless.
Serenity is mine.

June 1992 - For healing

R. Dear Jesus,

I offer You my pain for the sake
of souls –
Please come into my heart and dispel
all hate, anger, “poor me” and replace
with Your healing power of Your love,
please wash me with a bath of
pure water and fill me with
Your grace – help me enjoy my
present moments –
I have this moment and I let go
and give it to You Jesus –
Jesus I want to cry –
Help me let go of the pain –
Let go – Let go, Cleanse me
with Your precious blood –
drip Your precious blood on me –
on the person or persons who

offended me –
all in the past
ancestors who taught any way that
have been passed on to me.

Bathe our families in Your blood –
(siblings)
all relatives –
neighbors –
school mates
old relationships (people involved)
people at Church
people at work
people in the United States
The Church and the world –

God have mercy on the human race
for we have sinned.
Help me to let go – to love – to forgive.

Jesus: Let go, Let go – let go.

R. I surrender to Thy will,
I give You my heart and
I ask You to hold it with
the fire of Your love and
heal any scars and wounds.

Bathe me in the bath of spring water –
I give my day to You Jesus!!
I surrender and I know how
precious Your love is for me.

Jesus: My dear child –
Think of the vast ocean.
See the vast ocean
Think of the water cleaning you
to make you more and more
holy and pleasing to Me –
Feel the gentle sway and listen
to the waves –
I created the ocean –
I give you the beautiful water –
I bathe you –
Know My Power.
Know My Love.
You are My precious child –
look at yourself –
created with such talents by the Father.
I bathe you in My love
I bless your children
My love is endless
I am the Almighty God.
Focus on My Power.
My Power does not run out.
Let Me work in your heart –
Your job is clear now –
It is to let Me live in you
and minister through you –
to those around you.

 

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 in 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.
 

Jesus: I am your strength
I hold your hand
I am the power.
I love you with the fire of My
Divine Love.

Recognize your pain –
Don’t stuff it
Forgive
Let go – Embrace your pain and Let go.
Be loving and be likened to Me
If one person upsets you –
you cannot give into that –
you must think of your mission,
do the Father’s will –
otherwise the devil can provoke you
with one individual and

disturb your peace.

Live to love.
You indeed are My child.
I will watch over you.
See the lilies of the field how
they grow
and who watches over them –
You are My child –
Much more precious than
all of these
I have bathed you in My Blood
I will bring you to a special place
of ownership of the land –
I am your rock

I am your stronghold.

You don’t go alone –
Express the pain – then let go –

Forgive - love

I love you.

I know your pain and your joy –

I have taught you in suffering –

I have led you to joy.

The Pain and the Joy.

You are loving and giving –

Let go of tension –

You know I love you.

You are precious to Me.

I have chosen you.
I love you with such love –

See the ocean.

Hear the waves.

I know your pain –
Let go to My hands –

Be My Heart to the world

Be My hands.

Love your brothers in the world –

Be My love –

My Heart beating in the world –

Be Me to your children

Be their loving mother.

I am He who comforts you

Be not afraid

though you walk in raging waters –

I will be there with My rod and
My staff and

I will hold you up –

You are held up by Me –

I will love through you –
I have put you on this earth today –

I love you, I love you, I comfort you,
I am He who is your bridegroom.

I love you in a special way –

Cling to Me

I will be there with you.

I am your Power source.

I love you,

                Jesus

God, I am your refuge and your rock –

TEACH LOVE –
You are ready to love –
I am your God and I love you.
God’s love is endless.
Love resounds from generation to
generation. Hate goes from generation

I have been with you, your whole life.

Trust Me.

Turn to Me.

I love you, forever.

R. I turn my life over to You, Jesus –
I want to do Your will –
I turn this day over to You –
I love You so much –
You are my God – I love You.

Jesus: My dear child, I am He who comforts
you, feel the breeze on your face
it blows away your troubles,
it feels so good, the birds sing a
song for you – feel My breeze blow

on you – it blows away the cares
that trouble you – let go – let
Me run your life.
 

                (6) From Pre-Blue Book

June 5, 1992

Jesus: My dear child,
Turn to Me – though you pass
through raging waters – I am with you –
I speak to you here – I love you –
I will not leave you orphaned –
I will always comfort you.

My child – hold on – to Me
I will show you your path at the time –
take no action – I will work in your
life – you are My precious child,
you are plugged into Me –
feel the gifts I give you now –
feel the intensity of My presence
with you, feel My love.

Today is the only day you can live –
tomorrow this day will be gone –
have the gifts of this day –
I am He who comforts you –
Lean on Me,
I am all powerful,
I want what is best for you –
You are never alone
I dwell in you.

Serenity Prayer

“God grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change and the courage
to change the things I can and the
wisdom to know the difference.”
 

Jesus: Let go to Me.

Do not be tense, or fearful –
Let go of fear
Everything in your life put in
My hands.

I love you, Jesus

    humble heart, I am a sinner, I
    am sorry, work in my heart to love
    You and others more. I want to love and
    do Your work – to love others as You
    desire.

Jesus: Open your heart and let Me come

talk to me, I am powerless, I wait
on Thee – You can give me what
I need to serve You and do Your work –
Create in me a clean heart –
I hold the cross –

be spread on us –
Let Your love change us –
Dwell in me –
I let go, I let go.

Jesus: My child listen to My voice –

my heart so it will never be hard
or bleeding, but open and filled
with the fires of Your most
precious love.

Thank You, God, for the persons You
send to me to comfort and love and
support me when You know
I am in need –

Oh God I cried out to You in my distress
and You heard my cry – You came
to the aid of my heart, You
answered my call – God –
You rebuilt my shattered
hopes and my fallen
dreams – you put a
new song in my mouth – and filled me
with the flowing grace I thirsted
after – You took the tattered and
torn heart and You rebuilt the
scars with Your rebuilding kit,
I sit loose and wait for Your words
to be poured over me as to
knock me over and know my path
is only directed by Your words.
Hold me, care for me, replenish
me, comfort me, I then in turn
can help others who are tattered and
torn to know Your healing and
vibrant love –

Oh sing a song of love of the Savior
A song of His most bountiful gifts –
Let not your tongue be quiet –
Jesus is the Savior
He loves us this much!!!

Jesus says:

I am the Light.
I am the candle that never flickers.
I am the candle that never goes out
but shines to others because
I am on fire for love of you
and My precious souls –

My Heart is an endless burning
fire for you and My precious souls –
My fire never goes out –
Live in Me.

R. Dear God – fill me, forgive me
for all I may have done in anyway
to hurt others, thinking of my own
wounds – I want You to pour out
Your grace on me and all I have
touched – am touching or will touch –

I want to spread Your love

Always
The Sacred Heart
On Fire for love of men.

You are the fire that never goes out –
The power that never stops –

                (9) From Pre-Blue Book

October 5, 1992 - 3:30am

R. Dear Jesus, Give me Your hand to write this book for you. I am your servant. I want to be Your hand to this world. If you, Lord Jesus, would write a book, what would you say?

Jesus: My dear children,

    Today I come to deliver a message to each of you. I want to tell you of each person’s dignity, of their beauty and their self-worth. Each child is, oh, so uniquely precious to My Most Sacred Heart. Each child is full of the talents I have given to them. Each person is divinely created by God and given all these gifts to be happy and love one another.

    The problem comes when you feel you will be left out. That you will be left by another who has trodden on you and will do it again. I see you all as My most precious children. I watch your every move and know all pain and anguish in your heart. My Heart aches, you have insecure feelings about yourself. I came to this earth I died for you. I felt cold, hungry, lonely on this earth. You need not worry that no one knows the pain and anguish in your heart. God created you with such special gifts and talents. It is important for you to raise above your wound and forgive those who hurt you.

    You need only turn your will and your life over to Me and I will guide you in all your ways. I have all the Power. Many are not of My ways. The key to life is to recognize your faults, but still know you are this precious gift of My Father a gift to this world. This world is in need of your strength. Running yourself down, blaming others hurting them can cause you misery and pain. At this very moment, you are the precious creation of God!! You must operate with Me in your heart.

    You need not run yourself down. I am with you every day guiding your ways, lest your foot stumble and you lose your way. You will not wander far from your path if every day you keep bringing your focus back to Me. If you dare let Me be at the helm, if you dare to really let Me run your life, I will do with you such wonders that you yourself would be amazed. But you will know with such ease when you did these things that you did not do them alone. You will know My power, moving the mountain, My power chipping at the stone, My power working on your hardest problem and you will be set free.

    Oh yes, you will be set free and know a serenity that only comes from letting go and letting Me run your life. To you, My child, I have given all that is good. I made you My holy soldier, My warrior in a world of pain and hatred. You are the light that shines in the darkness, you are the coat to a cold child, you are the smile that warms a troubled and lonely heart. You are the comfort for everyone you meet, because My most precious Heart powers you, smiles through you, understands and loves through you.

    Love your fellows for Me. There are so many troubled hearts that need to know My love. I can love through you if you let Me, I can be their friend through you if you let Me. I am He who comforts you and you are he who comforts them. My power is endless, it never runs out, there is not a power failure EVER. In your darkest hour, My light shines in the darkness and I say to you, “Oh blessed of My Father, look at yourself with awe, you are My creation, you are indeed so precious to Me, you are My light to this world, you are My hands and My feet and most of all My Heart.”

    Oh, you are My loving Heart, to those who are bowed down, to those who are lost in the darkness, you carry My smile and wear My armor in a world that is trying to tear one another down with hate and ugliness. There is gentleness, there is love, there is hope in you, if you open yourself up to Me. Be My knight to the world, wear My armor. I am your God and I will protect you from the darkness. Plug into My power, be not afraid, I go before you always and you can rest in My arms when you feel weary. You can put your head in My lap and weep, you will know, I am truly with you and you are My light to this world. I created you so special - to cast out fear in the darkness, to clothe the naked, to give hope to the oppressed, to be as I live in you and love through you and you are My smile and I touch My hurting ones through your love.

    You are he who loves this world. You must stay plugged into My power-source. This world is hungry for My love. It needs My love, I give to them through you. I am your God and I made you as a gift to the world. You are filled.

    Focus on Me and your life will be abundant and whole, joy in suffering, freedom but you can take the knocks because you will know you do not go it alone, but with Me. I love you My precious child.

Picture of Jesus' Heart on fire.
December 17, 1991

R. On December 17, 1991, I saw a vision of  Jesus’ Heart on fire after communion. He said – I didn’t know how this Heart would lead people to His Sacred Heart.


 

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

R. The vision of Jesus’ Heart on fire I had in the same pew at All Saints Church, December 17, 1991. The heart that is on the Second Blue Book. March 26, 1996, I had in the same pew on the other end of the pew toward the center aisle, the first pew on the right side of the church as I faced the altar.

 

Picture of Jesus' Heart on fire.His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters – to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

“Open your heart to the fire of God’s love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love.”

 

December 1991

R. Please my sweet Jesus, help me, my sweet Jesus.

 

About December 31, 1991

R. Please help me my God to know Thy holy will, now Lord Jesus, I am Your child, You know my hurts, You are my God and I place my trust in You, I will follow Your law, show me Your way, nothing is too great for You, I my Lord, place my Trust and my heart in You, You have created me in Your image and likeness. You have lavished me in Your love, with dignity and honor You clothed me, given me rule over all, Your sun and Your moon give me light and guide me in this very night and I am indeed alive with Thy holy presence which I would not have experienced except for this conflict. Thank You for Your love and Your peace. I am Your child, I am blessed and gifted by You. My children are indeed great gifts. You are my light, You are my strength when I am bowed down, You are my hope and my rock, Your sun and Your moon give me light this very night, I will love because others need me. You are indeed my shield, my fortress, my army against the wicked one and You will not be shattered by any attempts to tear me down I will be fortified and strengthened by You and filled. God is as alive in me as me sitting here. I feel His presence, seeing God all in white in eternity His arms outstretched and saying, “My child come to Me for I will give you rest”, I see God and feel His presence in my heart – He is as alive. I see Jesus standing His arms outstretched – saying “Come to Me, come to Me, all who are weary of heart, place your yoke upon My shoulder and I will give you rest” weed out my unrest and when asked, fill me with the peace and joy that only You can give, why go there I know my undying source comes from You my God – my Father, my Savior, my sanctifier and You live in me now – I am Your child, I am blessed, You have carved me in the palm of Your hand. You have called me blessed and holy and You dwell in my heart because I asked You and You come, I am Your servant, I am Yours, God. Bless and keep Your servant forever. I want to love others through You, I want to do Your will, I love You, God.

 

                The Presentation in the Temple

                (1) Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter Book 3

The Church

We live out our spiritual lives within the Church. The Church is a multi-splendored reality. Let us reflect upon some of the key ideas connected with the Church.

  • Henri de Lubac states: "The Church is a mysterious extension in time of the Trinity, not only preparing us for the life of unity but bringing about even now our participation in it. She comes from and is full of the Trinity. She is for us -- in a favourite phrase of Bossuet -- ‘Jesus Christ … communicated’. She is ‘the Incarnation continued.’ She is, as Dietrick Bonhoeffer used to say, ‘the presence of Christ on earth’ --- she speaks with ‘the authority of Christ living and present in her.’… St. Paul applies to her this same word ‘mystery’ which he had first used of Christ. She is after all, the spouse of Christ and his body." 19

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Life In and With Jesus (Excerpt)

  • Here are words from St. Claude La Columbière, one of the great apostles of devotion to the Heart of Christ. Speaking to Jesus, Claude says:

You share my burdens,
You take them upon yourself.
You listen to me fondly when I tell you my troubles.
You never fail to lighten them.
I find You at all times and in all places.
You never leave me.
I will always find You wherever I go.

Old age or misfortune will not cause You to abandon me.
You will never be closer to me than
When all seems to go against me.
No matter how miserable I may be,
You will never cease to be my friend.

You tolerate my faults with admirable patience.
You are always ready to come to me, if I so desire it.

Jesus, may I die praising you!
May I die loving you!
May I die for the love of you.
12

                Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter Book 3

Living in the Present Moment

I suggest that one of the most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to often disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on the past or in a wrong way on the future. When we give in to this tendency we suffer a significant spiritual loss. There are proper occasions for thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. And, of course, we are familiar with the term in the history of spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. Growth in self-discipline should include a greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment. People with a terminal illness have an opportunity, as they prepare for death, for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. For those who have this opportunity of knowing with some certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their lives, they are saddened by the times they did not use time and opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever greater focus on Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present moment. And so let us resolve to grow in that self-discipline which is required to really live in the present with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help of God’s grace. To do so is extremely important for proper growth in the spiritual life.

Now is the time. Now is the time to live and to love. Now is the time to become more united to Christ, to be more one with Him. Now is not yesterday; now is not tomorrow; now is today, and today is a gift from the Lord.
 

                (6) Excerpt from the Priestly Newsletter Book 3

Surrender to God

God gives ultimate meaning to our lives. God reveals to us how the laughter and the tears, the work and the play, the pain and the joy, all fit together. As we live in God, God gathers up what would otherwise be the fragmented pieces of our lives, and arranges them into harmonious unity. This unity emanates from our living according to God’s plan, a plan embodying a way of existence that leads to an ever greater experience of the true, the good, and the beautiful.

We can put obstacles in the way of God’s transforming designs, of God’s plan for us. We can at times say "no" to God’s initiative. We can refuse to be open to God’s tender, loving touch. We can engage in a process of self-enclosure. We can determine to map out our own path to supposed happiness, forgetting that plans for happiness which exclude God are ultimately plans for experiencing frustration and emptiness. Briefly, we can act in an obstinate fashion regarding God’s offer of Self-communication.

At other times, it is not so much stubbornness which leads us to say "no" to God; it is fear. We realize that the closer we come to God, the more God will ask of us, gently but firmly. We fear the white heat of God’s love. Such episodes along the spiritual journey are crucial. If we keep pulling back from the intensity of God’s love, if we keep refusing what this love wants to accomplish in us and through us, then we will live on a rather superficial level.

We must strive to overcome whatever attitude prevents us from increasingly giving ourselves over to God. We must realize that progress in the spiritual life is measured by the degree to which we abandon ourselves to God. We must realize that, if we hope to grow spiritually, we must increasingly allow God to direct our lives.

Let us pray, then, for an increase in the spirit of abandonment to God. As we live more according to this attitude, we will experience in greater measure the warmth and security of God’s love, this God Who is the ground of our being, the goal of our existence, the source of our happiness.
 

                (7) R. God wants us to have a
                    deep interior life –
                    this interior life must
                    be rooted in love –

                    Love of God.

                    Love of neighbor.

                (8) The Law of God is to love –
                    The essence of the spiritual
                    life is love –

                    We are to love our neighbor as
                        ourselves –
                        therefore the Law of God
                        tells us you can't
                        selfishly do whatever you
                        want for yourself and
                        hate and hurt your
                        neighbor in malice of
                        intent –

                    God's law commands we
                        love our neighbor
                        as ourselves

                (9) God likes us little and
                    dependent –
                    Mary says in the Magnificat
                        "God did great things
                        to her"

                    She tells us of her humility –
                        humility – She put God
                        first –

                    A Prideful person puts themselves
                        first – FRONT and Center –

                (10) Luke 15: 7

In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner repenting than over ninety–nine upright people who have no need of repentance.

                Luke 15: 4-6

‘Which one of you with a hundred sheep, if he lost one, would fail to leave the ninety–nine in the desert and go after the missing one till he found it? And when he found it, would he not joyfully take it on his shoulders and then, when he got home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, I have found my sheep that was lost."

 

                The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

                (1) Mary's Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.  end of Mary's Message
 

                (2) Mary has appeared over and
                    over again begging us to
                    pray for souls.

                The Presentation in the Temple (excerpt)

4. Jesus: I speak to you, My beloved ones, for you do not comprehend the great gifts that I have given to you. The prophetess, Anna, how joyed she was to see the Child Jesus. I have given you the light to see Me in a way that I have not revealed before in human history and you treat My gifts with such irreverence. I am asking you to treasure the gifts that I have given to you, to put aside all of the division that you feel in your heart and to obey the messages that I give to you that will help spread the Good News to this world.

5. Jesus: I wish to speak to you about intimacy. I am God. I am the Almighty God. I am the Son of God and I speak to you, My beloved ones. I am teaching you about intimacy, about oneness. This is the role of the Shepherds of Christ Movement - to help bring all into one fold. I am the Good Shepherd, you are My flock.
 

                (4) From Blue Book 18 - March 15, 1998

The Presentation in the Temple (excerpt)

6. Jesus: The flock is scattered and they will return to Me in one fold, majorly depending on the work that you do in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I have set you aside to help to renew the Church and the world under the direction of your priest, Father Carter. You must pray for the priesthood of the Good Shepherds, for the Handmaids, and for this religious order that I wish to establish at some time – the Lay Apostles. I am forming you now, with these directions. It is in strict adherence to My directions that this will come about. You do not comprehend the importance of this mission that I give to you. This will help majorly to renew the Church and the world, to bring the world into oneness.
 

                (5) From Blue Book 18 - March 15, 1998

The Finding of Jesus In the Temple (excerpt)

R. And so we look at the Commandments - these are the laws that God, our Father, gave to us that we would live by to be in the Holy Family. He said “obey thy mother and thy father”. He means that we must obey our earthly father and our mother, but what about Our Father, God the Father, and Our Mother Mary?
 

                (6) From Blue Book 18 - March 8, 1998

                The Resurrection (excerpt)

4. R. And Mary speaks on that day, April the 1st.

April 1, 1997 continues

Mary: I appear to you, the woman clothed as the sun, Our Lady of Fatima, in splendor and glory to lead a sick race to holiness, to lead them to healing in the Heart of my Son. For His Heart will reign despite all the actions of men. I appear Our Lady of Fatima on the (former) bank in Florida to you this day. This is my message. This is my little Fatima in the Americas. A permanent sign I give to you this day on the building, a sign for the world and for you.

And you, my chosen one, have faith for it is faith that will save you. The devil wants you stopped. If you listen to him, who will lead the people to my Son? You have been called and chosen by me, Our Lady of Fatima, the woman clothed as the sun and there will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth for many will be lost forever. I send you in the darkness as a beacon light to the world.

I love you. I am your Mother Mary.

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

 

                (8) Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

    1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
    2. For the Pope.
    3. For all bishops of the world.
    4. For all priests.
    5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
    6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
    7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
    8. For all members of the human family.
    9. For all souls in purgatory.

end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart message

The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ

    "I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:

    'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

    'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

    'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'

    "Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

    "As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.

 

                (10) From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Age of the Two Hearts

Jesus:  "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"  end of excerpt

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (20–/2012)
$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD.Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
