September 1, 2006 - For First Friday

Messenger:           Is there anyway to express how it is to have
                        depth of knowing how God is truly present in
                        the Eucharist.

                            When the world is blind and in need of
                        God's grace and mercy and His healing, can we be
                        so ignorant ourselves to realize that the
                        power is in the Eucharist.

                            Because the Divine God is truly
                        present in His Divinity and humanity — no
                        less present than the day He walked
                        the earth.

                            The Mass can be such a source for
                        healing this troubled earth if we as
                        members of the body of Christ united deeply
                        through consecration to the Hearts of Jesus
                        and Mary and oneness in the reception of the
                        Eucharist. Oneness united in the Morning
                        Offering to the Masses going on around the
                        world all through the day.

                            I talked to someone today and they kept
                        saying pray for the evil leaders and that is
                        true — then they said
                            "Why pray for the priests, the Church,
                        they are okay"

                            Well Jesus told Fr. Carter when he
                        founded the Shepherds of Christ Movement and
                        told him the primary function is the
                        Priestly Newsletter centered in consecration
                        to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary — to begin
                        these prayer chapters praying for the priests,
                        the Church and the world.

 

 

September 1, 2006 message continues

Messenger:           We need to pray for these things, Jesus
                        told Fr. Carter in another message —
                        praying 2 hours a week before the Blessed
                        Sacrament

  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.

                        and saying these prayers.

 

 

September 1, 2006 message continues

Messenger:       2 & 1/2 years after Fr. Carter got the message
                            to start the Movement and the prayer chapters
                            Mary appeared in Clearwater,
                            Florida.

 

   

September 1, 2006 message continues

Messenger:       And we were able to acquire the building and
                            still have it today and Fr. Carter said Mass
                            there many times until his death.

                        Mary said at Fatima                           

"Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary—until a sufficient number of people make and live the consecration, we will not have peace in the world."

                        Bishops need to consecrate their diocese
                            to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart she said.

                        Families need to consecrate themselves and
                            their families to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

 

 

September 1, 2006 message continues

Messenger:       Here are the promises given to St. Margaret
                            Mary by the Sacred Heart.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart: 

  1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
  2. I will establish peace in their homes.
  3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
  4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.
  5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.
  6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
  7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
  8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
  9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
  10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
  11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
  12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

  

September 1, 2006 message continues

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Edward Carter, S.J. 

            October 13, 1917

                In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:

    I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)

September 1, 2006 message continues

Messenger:           Pray from the heart for tremendous
                                grace for the souls —

                             Beg at the Lamb of God for mercy —

                             Receive Jesus — thank Him
                                                     talk to him
                                                     love Him
                                                     praise Him

                                                        the souls of the earth.

                        4)  Say the Shepherds of Christ Prayers
                                praying the litanies with love

                                    Motherhood, Virginity, Queenship

                                Honoring the Sacred Heart in the Litany
                                    loving the Trinity.

                                God remains truly present in the
                                    Eucharist this day

 

                        How blind can we be that we don't
                            see the power in the Eucharist —

                            1)  receiving Jesus

                            2)  sitting in His presence before
                                the exposed Eucharist and tabernacle.

                            GRACE IS outpoured when
                                we receive Jesus, truly present
                                in His Divinity and humanity and
                                also when we sit before the
                                Blessed Sacrament.

                        What is wrong with us that we wallow
                            in pain and our Churches are
                            empty where the consecrated host is?

                        We have fewer and fewer priests —
                            Do we cherish this great gift —
                            We should get on our knees and
                                thank God for the priest and
                                the Eucharist.

                        Before Mary appeared at Fatima (1917) —
                            the angel of Portugal appeared
                                to the children 3 times — 1916

                            here is what the message was —

    

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Carter, S.J.

Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

On reaching us, he said: “Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me

Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground and made us repeat these words three times: “My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.”

Then, rising he said: “Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.”

His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them. 3

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:

Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal. Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. 4

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.” 5

Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:

“Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God6

September 1, 2006 message continues

Messenger:       How are we doing listening to this
                            message 90 years later —

                        God loves us so much He remains with
                            us today ——

                        The power is in the Eucharist —

                        The power is in loving God —

                        Loving our priests

                        Praying for them


                        To answer the man from this morning
                            and I never got to —
                            I wanted to say

                        God can outpour a grace that can
                            change the hearts in less than the
                            batting of an eye.

                        He is the Almighty God maker of the
                            universe and all of us —

                        Did you ever have a problem and you
                            knew you could pray, but you
                            really thought you should figure
                            it out yourself — so you mumbled
                            a little pray half-heartedly — lacking
                            faith — thinking it would even
                            help

                        Well guess what —
                            God knows how much faith and
                                trust we have

                        He said if we had faith —
                            We could move a mountain —
                            Let's get down on our knees and
                                really pray with faith —
                                for a world of peace and love and joy —

                        Did you really think God would
                            give us this world, create us
                            in His image and likeness —
                            send His Son after the fall
                            of Adam and Eve to redeem us
                            and then the story at the end of
                            God's bible will be a complete tragedy?
                            No way, many will be saved!!!!
                            We are dealing with God!!!!
                            Did you think that?
                            Souls will be lost,
                                but the victory has already been won
                                for those who love and serve the Lord
                                and keep His commands as He desires.
                            This is a message of hope.
                            We are dealing with God!
                            He is Almighty, all Powerful, the Creator.

   

Revelation 21: 1-10

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'

Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'

One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.

Messenger:          Jesus loves us so much He remains
                                today —

                            We must get down and pray hard
                                trusting and having faith in God.

                        Obeying the commandments —

                        Loving the Church —

                        Loving the priests and thanking God for
                            them and

                            LOVING THE EUCHARIST

                            the ultimate gift.


                        Being deeply one through consecration to
                            the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
                            the New Adam and New Eve.

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Carter, S.J.

  Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:

    Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)
