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

October 13, 1994

    "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.'

Here are new entries from God's Blue Book 4

August 24, 1994

Title: Would You Give Your Life For Me?

Jesus:  One lump on your head: they beat My head, they bruised My body, I was red and bloody, they tore My flesh, they hit Me over and over again and they laughed!  They hollered such slanderous things at Me.  When they holler at you and persecute you, remember what they did to Me.

    Suffer your little crosses, look to Me and what they did. The devil tempts others to speak harshly against you. Many are suffering inside when they persecute you.  Pray for them. Anyone who is directing hate at you is allowing Satan to use them.  Oh, how they need your prayers!  Offer up your trials and sufferings to the Father, along with the Masses being offered at that moment.  This is such a pleasing offering to My Father.

    Please, child, stay so focused on Me and My ways.  One bump to the head and look how you worry for yourself. Oh, sweet one, you do not know the blows they gave to My head.  Without any warning, I was smacked, hit and pierced with sharp instruments.  They hit My head with big clubs and laughed.

    My child, for you I suffered!  For you, I loved unto My very death! Would you give your life for Me?  I love you this much. Your acts of love this day comforted Me during My passion. I love you so very much. I wait to share your love with you this very day. I wait and love you so much. 

    Come to Me, My dear and tender heart. I am your beloved Jesus. My Mother is forever with you, with such love.  Focus on this love in the cold world and pray, pray, pray.

Offer up your life for those in darkness.  Your every action is a prayer if you are doing the Father's will. I love you so much, My precious dear one.  I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, on fire for love of you!.

 

 

August 24, 1994

Title: This is Reality: Jesus Died and He Has Risen

R.  To see Him and touch His crucifix and know how He died, my precious, beautiful Jesus, I love Him so much!  To see Him that way is so painful for me.  I keep hearing Mary's song, "I loved Him as a Baby, I held Him as a Child and I stood there on that cold, dark day, the day I knew would have to come."

    Oh, Jesus, I love your crucifix. I love you so much. I love you and it hurts to look at your crucifix and think people do not even know what they are doing. They do not know what you did for love of them and they will lose their souls. They will be condemned to everlasting hell,  holding onto this world and their sins!  This is reality: you have died and you have risen. We must pray constantly for our brothers, offer our day for those who are so blind.  So many will lose their souls!

    Mary appears to tell us the love they both have for us and how they suffered.

Jesus:  Spread the word. Time is so short, My precious ones. I died that you might have life and have it more abundantly.

R.   I constantly want a deeper union with Him.  It is not ever enough. I want to know Him more and know all about Him and His life.  I thirst after this knowledge of Him and I want to be joined closer and closer to Him.  I crave this union and I thirst after the knowledge of God and Mary and the Saints. 

    The gospel is so important!  We must stand during the gospel.  How do we treat the Word of God? 

Jesus:  I give you My Word. It is most precious, My beloved one.

You do not write this.  I will take care of you.  I love you so much.  Jesus.

 

 

August 25, 1994

Title: Before You Were Born, I Knew You

R.  Mary's Father is Jesus' Father and He is my Father.  Who am I that I have God as my Father.  I was uniquely created by the most loving Father with such love.  I was created in the love of the Father. Scripture says,

Jeremiah 1: 5

‘Before I formed you in the womb
    I knew you;
before you came to birth
    I consecrated you...

    We are the unique creation of God.  God the Father loves His creation. We are His special, chosen ones!

Jesus speaks: I am Jesus, Son of the living God. I am so present to you, My beloved children of My Father. You were created with such love, the love that is being poured out to you this very day from the hands of My Father. Strive to do His will. His plan is your way to everlasting happiness. You are so abundantly showered with love by the Father, through Me, in union with the Holy Spirit and by your loving Mother. Focus on this love. It is in the interior realization of the love We constantly give you that you will find peace and joy.

 

 

August 25, 1994

You Are The Unique Creation Of The Father

Jesus speaks: Oh child, how uniquely I love you. You are far more precious than the finest pearls. You were divinely created by My Father. You are the product of His great love. You are the chosen child of the Father. The Spirit breathed into you His life and love and you were given the fire of God’s love. Do not let anything in this world snuff out the love of God that burns within your soul. Keep your heart ever pure and open to the Spirit of God that dwells within your very heart.

You are the creation of My Father. You are so precious to Me, child. You, I so love that I would give My life for you this very day. Oh beloved of My Father, come to Me and I will give you rest. You will be filled with the peace and love of God.

You are far more precious than the finest treasure. You are the unique creation of the Father. See your specialness to Me, oh beloved one. You are so special to God!

Messenger: Alleluia! And He breathed on their soul and the Spirit of God filled their hearts and the burning love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelt within their hearts and they were present as His love shining in the darkness and they were called to be His light shining in a dark world.

Alleluia! Praise the Lord.

The Spirit of the Lord fills me. I know not what I write. He guides my hand. I comply to His wishes, as I say: You are the divine creation of Him Who knew you before you were formed in the womb of your mother. Jesus was formed in the womb of His Mother through the Holy Spirit. You are a direct creation of the Father, given to such specialness and given such great and ardent love of God!

You are the temple of God. In Baptism you are given His Life within your soul. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in your heart. You must feed this life with the love of God. God is forever in your midst and ready to nourish you. You are the divine creation of the Father. Center your life first on God. Come and be with Him, worship and praise Him. Focus on His presence within you and in the Eucharist. See His love poured out to you in others.

Be as another Christ to one another. Where you were blind, open up your heart and let Christ's life live in your very soul. Operate only as He prompts you to act, living within you. Put on Christ. Strive for the greatest union with Him and with Father and Holy Spirit. Mary is your Mother. She leads you through her most loving Heart to the greatest union with God. Be open. Die to self. Be the empty vessel ready to be filled by the hands of God.

Mary, my Mother, lead me to the most loving union with God.
Spirit, lead me to union with God, through Jesus.

Mold Me Into Your Instrument To Spread Your Love

Messenger: Jesus, You died for each and every soul. I want to do all I can to lead souls to Your infinite love. You love each person so much and want to give them Your love. Help me to use my life to spread Your love however You wish me to.

You are so beautiful, Jesus. I love You so much. I want others to know Your great love, that You died for them, that this is reality, that You are God. You have died and You have risen and You are in our midst this very day with such love for each and every beloved soul!

Each child of God is divinely created by Your Father and my Father. We are brothers in Christ. How can I not pray for my beloved brothers, the sons of my very own Father? To You, Lord, I lift up my soul and ask for all I need to spread this love to my brothers.

Mold me, fashion me into the instrument of Your most precious love so it is no longer I who live, but You Who live in me. Into Your hands Lord, I commend my spirit.

Spirit of God, fill me with the fire of God’s love so that where I was full of fear, I am now fearless to spread this love of God. I am Yours Lord. Take me, mold me into Your instrument to spread Your love, the love of Your most Sacred Heart and that of my loving Mother, the love of her Immaculate Heart, to this world.

Pray for Newsletter for Priests, Shepherds of Christ

Messenger:    The most pleasing sacrifice to the Father is the precious Body and Blood of Christ. When the priest, who represents Christ, offers the sacrifice to the Father, we are giving ourselves also as a sacrifice to the Father.

    Many prayers could be magnified everyday if people offered up their lives with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. When you live your daily lives according to the will of the Father and offer them up to Him, with all the masses being said around the world — this is such a powerful prayer!

Jesus speaks:    I ask you to pray for the success of My priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ. I am the Good Shepherd, I know mine and they follow Me. I want to draw all My precious ones so close to My Heart.

    My heart is ablaze for the love of each and every soul. I love each child so tenderly. I want to spread this burning love to My beloved ones, through My specially anointed priests.

    When the love of My Sacred Heart shines from the hearts of all, the world will be set aglow with My love. I have spoken directly to Fr. Carter in this newsletter, in a special way, to spread My love to My beloved anointed priests.

    Offer your days in union with the Mass being offered throughout the world for the success of the newsletter. Pray for the priests who receive this newsletter that their hearts will be open and they will hear the voice of God speaking to them.

    Oh, children, I love each soul -- I would die this very day for each one! Please pray for your brothers. Do not waste one valuable moment of your day. Offer each moment up as a prayer to your heavenly Father through My body and blood being offered in the Masses around the world. Souls will be lost forever. Many souls do not know My most precious love. Pray for the priests. One priest can touch so many of My beloved ones, or one priest can lead so many astray.

    Please pray for this endeavor. I am your precious Jesus, on fire for love of you this day!

After Communion - Priests’ Residence Chapel

Her Face Tells The Story Of The Horror She Saw

Messenger:  Mary, so young and beautiful, her beautiful young face, her bright eyes. She looks so tenderly at the Baby Son and His beautiful eyes.

Her face, her horror, her sorrow, looking down at the lifeless Body of her Son. Her face tells the story of the horror she saw. Once a Baby, bright and beautiful, His Body now bloodied, her beloved Child dead in her arms.

His side a bloody mess where He was lanced. His hands were pierced.   His feet were pierced. The nails and the crown, now removed. All that remains are holes and punctures. Her precious eyes behold this sight, the dead Body of her Baby.

I keep seeing the faces, the face I saw on the statue, the joyful face, the young face, the sorrowful face that looked as if it would crack, all glistening and aglow to accent the event.

Do we listen? Do we see? Do we feel? Do we know that Jesus is still pouring out His love this very day? This is the same Mother at our side. This is the same Jesus I just received in the Eucharist. He gave Himself then, He gives Himself now to me, in Holy Communion!

When will I let myself feel His true Life within me? When will I hear His plaintive cries that He loves us so much to have died for us? When will my heart be open to this reality? Life is a fleeting moment and the reality is that this same Jesus enters my soul in such love this day!

Do I hear Him? I, who hear His words, take so lightly this tremendous love. Do words even exist to describe this love? Is "tremendous" a word that sums up the love He has?

He says He is a furnace burning for love of us. These are words. These are not sufficient to explain His love. He shows me, in the face of Mary, the reality. He has truly given His very own flesh, His very own Blood. He was human. He gave Himself. He gives Himself to us this day.

I hear His pleading cries after Communion, "I give you Myself. Tell them, tell them."

And they run, they run to do useless tasks and He is still in their bodies.

Jesus:  I am the way, the truth and the life.  I am He whose bootstraps you are unworthy to fasten and I, God, come to you in such love and you treat Me so coldly. Tell them My beautiful child, listen to My words, tell them with your whole heart what you experience here.  I am God and I love them so much.

It is in meditating on My passion, on My Mother's sufferings, you will know of the intensity of Our love.  Love is not described in words, love is felt in the heart. You must feel the mysteries of the rosary in your heart. To love Me is to live in Me. Live in your heart Our love for you.  Feel the mysteries of the rosary.  This is only a foreshadowing of the love I have this day for you.

You Must Realize You Are Not Alone

Jesus speaks: I have sent these two people as key persons to lead you to My love. It is in their great love for Me you will be led ever closer to My Heart. The devil wants you to not trust and not get too close. You need intimacy with them.

I am the Lord, thy God. You are shouldering a great responsibility with My letters. Their direction is very important in this task. They both play a very important role in guiding you along greater union with Me.

The devil wants you to go alone and feel you need to be dependent only on Me. I send you Sr. Rita and Fr. Carter as your guides to greater union with Me and to assist you in the success of these letters. They are key to these letters, their absolute authenticity and distribution. you need to develop trust in these two people sent directly from Me to be with you and guide you. 

I am Jesus, forever present and at your side. I love you so much. Fr. Smith is very important to delivering these messages to this city. Your job is to speak whenever possible. Pray, little one. I am forever with you. You must trust your two guides. They will be acting as Me to you. Open your heart to be very close to them. They have spent their whole life being very close to Me.

I love you so. You must realize you are not alone. You are not to deliver this message alone. This message is for the world. My Mother appearing to you is likewise for the world. Do not hold this message back. You are not bragging, you are delivering her message. This is your call, from her, to deliver her message. She appears to you to give this to the world.

Why do you not believe what I write to you? You do not trust Me. You do not want to trust them. You must trust people. You are not alone. To work close with Fr. Carter as your spiritual director is My plan for you, you must trust him.

I Place My Children in Mary's Loving Arms

Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. My child, do not give in to Satan to taunt you. Trust in Me, I am ever with you! My love for you is your top concern.

Messenger:  I place my children in the loving arms of their Mother. To her I entrust their lives. I love you so much, Mary.

I feel at peace in that I do not have a selfish interest in this work. God is my end.

Jesus: Fear, doubt, confusion, come from the evil one. Be pure in heart always, My sweet one, pure to the sense of truth. I am the Way, the Truth, I am the Life.
