Genesis 12: 1-4

Yahweh said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your kindred and your father’s house for a country which I shall show you; and I shall make you a great nation, I shall bless you and make your name famous; you are to be a blessing!

   I shall bless those who bless you,
   and shall curse those who curse you,
   and all clans on earth
   will bless themselves by you.’

So Abram went as Yahweh told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy–five years old when he left Haran.

 

                R. Adam and Eve sinned. Eve wanted to be equal to God.
                Cain killed his brother Abel – he shed his
                    brother's blood –

                Seth was born

                Enoch came from Seth's descendants
                Enoch was the grandfather of Noah –
                Noah found favor with God –
                Men had become wicked

                God instructed Noah to build the Ark –
                God made a covenant with Noah –
                God told Noah how to construct the Ark –
                God told him who He wanted on the Ark –

                Noah went on the Ark with his wife, his sons
                    and their wives –

                Noah took the animals as God instructed on
                    the Ark.

                It rained for 40 days and 40 nights –

                The waters covered the earth - the entire earth –
                    even the mountains.

                God made a covenant with Noah –

  Genesis 9: 11-17

And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.’ 

    ‘And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.’ 

    ‘That’, God told Noah, ‘is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.’

 

                R. The rainbow is awesome – think about the beauty
                    of the rainbow –

                The sun is awesome –
                    think of the power of the light of the sun –
                    how it lights the earth –
                    how we have warmth –
                    how it is so lighted we can't even
                        look at it –

                We cannot in our impurities even unite
                    to such dimensions with God, here below –

                In seeing Mary and receiving some experiences
                    I have received, I am so weak sometimes –

                We are here on earth to be purified –
                    to die to our imperfections to prepare
                    us for heaven –

                Yesterday, Jesus said, to take out the trash –

                The day before, Jesus spoke of the man who
                    was frozen in denial because of
                    trauma where he was hurt –

                God put us here to be humble and recognize
                    we are here to grow to be more and more
                    like Him –

                He gave us baptism, such a gift to share
                    in His life –

                Our knowing and loving capacity is elevated
                    in baptism –

                Yesterday I went to China and read the writing
                    from yesterday – at the end I played
                    the piano and played some old
                    music from long ago –

                It was fun to do this –

                I had the capability to learn to play the piano
                    and began when I was 7, I have played
                    for more than 60 years –
                    I have developed the capability I had to
                        do this over 60 years –

                    I still use my math sometimes to help
                        my grandchildren –
                    I taught math some 28 years in
                        college and a couple of years
                        in high school, but being
                        a teacher, I can still do it very well –

                    I had the capability to learn it, to use
                    it and now I don't intend to teach
                    anymore and got rid of a lot of math
                    materials, I can still do the math
                    very well – I developed that capability over
                    my whole life like teaching math and music. I
                    used this capability God gave me to teach others,
                    play at Church, help others to learn to teach others.

                When we are baptized we receive a capability
                    to know and to love that God shares
                    with us.

                    We share in His loving activity because
                        of baptism –

                We can grow in the virtues of faith,
                    hope and love, but they are theological
                    virtues so we have to pray for
                    God's grace to grow in these
                    virtues and co-operate with
                    that grace –

                We have the capability to grow from
                    baptism –
                    We can understand more and more
                        deeply - insight into the
                        Divine mysteries, like the Trinity,
                        union with God, because of baptism
                        and the gifts God has given us.

                Capability –

                We were created in the image and likeness
                    of God –
                    but we have a tainted human nature –
                    We have tendencies toward
                        jealousy, envy, pride, anger,
                        slothfulness, lust, gluttony –

                These are the deadly sins – they are bad
                    habits we practice because we
                    give into our free will and do
                    not do what God wants us to do –

                Or we can ask God to increase in our baptized soul
                    the virtues of faith, hope and love
                    and co-operate with this grace
                    to develop good habits
                    like He wants of greater
                    faith, hope and love –

                Virtues are good habits we practice –
                    we are given greater grace from
                    God to have greater faith, hope
                    and love and we want to be more
                    faithful, more hopeful,
                    more loving –

                God loves us so much –

                We are here to develop that capacity
                    we received in baptism –
                    We want to love more, we want
                        to have greater faith –
                    We want hope –

                It is a capacity we receive – good habits
                    we work at –
                    sacrifice like Jesus taught us
                        about sacrifice –
                        about reparation –

                Our life is to be lived to prepare
                    us for heaven –
                    heaven is forever –

                We need to take out the trash in our hearts –
                    not be prideful and live our lives
                    trying to prove we know it all –
                    try to be equal to God –
                    put ourselves above God –

                The greatest commandment says:

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

 

                R. I never saw like I did yesterday how God, in
                the greatest commandment is telling us to love
                our neighbors. Neighbors are not those,
                necessarily, in our family – neighbors are
                those outside of our family system –
                He commands us to love our neighbor –

                God is Supreme
                God is All perfect
                God is All knowing

                He knows what we need to prepare us for
                heaven – If a man and woman have the marriage vocation,
                God made men and women marry from
                different families and gave them a
                lifetime to work with each other –
                to bring up children and to teach
                those children how to marry outside
                of the family –

                To learn to deal with a different system
                and He told us
   

Mark 10: 6-9

But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female. This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and the two become one flesh. They are no longer two, therefore, but one flesh. So then, what God has united, human beings must not divide.'

   

                R. He created man and woman in His image
                    and likeness.

                God told them to increase and multiply. 

Tobit 8: 5-7

She stood up, and they began praying for protection, and this was how he began:

    You are blessed, O God of our fathers;
    blessed too is your name
    for ever and ever.
    Let the heavens bless you
    and all things you have made
    for evermore.

    You it was who created Adam,
    you who created Eve his wife
    to be his help and support;
    and from these two
        the human race was born.
    You it was who said,
    'It is not right that the man should be alone;
    let us make him a helper like him.'

    And so I take my sister
    not for any lustful motive,
    but I do it in singleness of heart.
    Be kind enough to have pity on her
        and on me
    and bring us to old age together.

 

Romans 12: 9-18

Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good. In brotherly love let your feelings of deep affection for one another come to expression and regard others as more important than yourself. In the service of the Lord, work not halfheartedly but with conscientiousness and an eager spirit. Be joyful in hope, persevere in hardship; keep praying regularly; share with any of God’s holy people who are in need; look for opportunities to be hospitable.

Bless your persecutors; never curse them, bless them. Rejoice with others when they rejoice, and be sad with those in sorrow. Give the same consideration to all others alike. Pay no regard to social standing, but meet humble people on their own terms. Do not congratulate yourself on your own wisdom. Never pay back evil with evil, but bear in mind the ideals that all regard with respect. As much as possible, and to the utmost of your ability, be at peace with everyone.

 

1 Corinthians 6: 13-15, 17-20

Foods are for the stomach, and the stomach is for foods; and God will destroy them both. But the body is not for sexual immorality; it is for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body. God raised up the Lord and he will raise us up too by his power. Do you not realise that your bodies are members of Christ’s body; do you think one can take parts of Christ’s body and join them to the body of a prostitute? Out of the question!

But anyone who attaches himself to the Lord is one spirit with him.

    Keep away from sexual immorality. All other sins that people may commit are done outside the body; but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Do you not realise that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you and whom you received from God? You are not your own property, then; you have been bought at a price. So use your body for the glory of God.

 

1 Corinthians 12:3113:1-8

Set your mind on the higher gifts. And now I am going to put before you the best way of all.

Though I command languages both human and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains—if I am without love, I am nothing. Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever. 

    Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth. It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. 

    Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with.

 

Ephesians 5: 2, 21-33

and follow Christ by loving as he loved you, giving himself up for us as an offering and a sweet-smelling sacrifice to God.

The morals of the home

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, since, as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything. Husbands should love their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words, so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body. This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and the two become one flesh. This mystery has great significance, but I am applying it to Christ and the Church. To sum up: you also, each one of you, must love his wife as he loves himself; and let every wife respect her husband.

 

Colossians 3: 12-17

    As the chosen of God, then, the holy people whom he loves, you are to be clothed in heartfelt compassion, in generosity and humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; forgive each other if one of you has a complaint against another. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes, put on love, the perfect bond. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful. 

    Let the Word of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.

 

1 John 4: 7-12

My dear friends,
let us love one another,
since love is from God
and everyone who loves
    is a child of God and knows God.
Whoever fails to love does not know God,
because God is love.
This is the revelation
   of God’s love for us,
that God sent his only Son into the world
that we might have life through him.
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.
My dear friends,
if God loved us so much,
we too should love one another.
No one has ever seen God,
but as long as we love one another
God remains in us
and his love comes to its perfection in us.

   

                Sing: We Have Been Told –

                R. Jesus prays to His Father in John 17 –
                Jesus tells us about unity and love.

                In this mission, Shepherds of Christ, it is
                    about unity and love!

                This mission is about teaching religious,
                    priests, all about unity with
                    God –
                    Intimate Union – in love
                        with God –

                The more we spread the Blue Book –
                The more one man will be in his relationship
                    with God –
                    and his whole life – lived in this
                    oneness with God can help bring
                    down tremendous grace
                    for the world.

                Here is the first message in Blue Book I –
 

 

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993 

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

end of May 13, 1993

 

                R. Please help us spread these messages
                    of Jesus –

                The more one, man becomes with
                    Jesus, the more grace can
                    be showered on the earth
                    with His life –


  Prayer for Union with Jesus

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

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

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

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

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

 

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

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

 

 

Holy Spirit Novena

Daily Novena Prayers

Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.

Prayer for Holy Spirit

We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

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.

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.

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.

Prayer to Be One in Jesus

Let us experience life in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so we can say as Saint Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...." Let us live, united to the Mass, all through the day being one in Him. Let us be able to love and know in this elevated state of oneness with our God. We long for Thee, oh beauteous God, we love You, we love You, we love You. We praise You, worship You, honor You, adore You, and thank You, our beloved God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Prayer to Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

We seek to be one in God, to live and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth, to experience life in the all perfect, pure, sinless heart of our Mother. We want the Holy Spirit to move in us and to be united to Jesus as the Bridegroom of our souls and be a most perfect sacrifice offered to the Father at every moment as we unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around the world to help in the salvation of souls.

Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts

Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.

Leader: Send forth Your Spirit and all will be reborn.
All:  And You will renew the face of the earth.

We pray for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask for perfection in our souls to make us holy, holy souls likened to God.

Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.

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.

Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit

Dear Holy Spirit, help us not to be ignorant or indifferent or weak, help us to be strong with the love of God.

Dear Holy Spirit, please pray for our needs for us.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to respect God and to avoid sin. Help us to live in the Father's will.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to keep Your commandments and to respect authority. Help us to love all things as You will us to love them. Help us to want to pray and always serve God with the greatest love. Help us to know the truth. Help us to have the gift of faith, hope, and love. Help us to know what is right and what is wrong.

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.

                R. Our life is lived to be disciples
                    of Christ – a disciple is a learner –
                    When we think we know it
                    all – we are not being a disciple – 

Genesis 12: 1-4

Yahweh said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your kindred and your father’s house for a country which I shall show you; and I shall make you a great nation, I shall bless you and make your name famous; you are to be a blessing!

   I shall bless those who bless you,
   and shall curse those who curse you,
   and all clans on earth
   will bless themselves by you.’

So Abram went as Yahweh told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy–five years old when he left Haran.

 

Romans 6: 3-11

You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his; realising that our former self was crucified with him, so that the self which belonged to sin should be destroyed and we should be freed from the slavery of sin. Someone who has died, of course, no longer has to answer for sin. 

    But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. For by dying, he is dead to sin once and for all, and now the life that he lives is life with God. In the same way, you must see yourselves as being dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.

 

Revelation 22: 12-14, 16-17, 20

Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay everyone as their deeds deserve. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have the right to feed on the tree of life and can come through the gates into the city.

EPILOGUE

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to attest these things to you for the sake of the churches. I am the sprig from the root of David and the bright star of the morning. The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let everyone who listens answer, ‘Come!’ Then let all who are thirsty come: all who want it may have the water of life, and have it free.

The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

 

                R. Heaven is a reward promised
                    to those who loved and
                    served the Lord –

                We need to spread these messages –

                September 25, 2014

                In today's world we need to listen to Our Lady of Fatima
                the Queen of Peace.

                    We can be united in one heart in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

                    Please pray the prayers on the enclosed brochure praying
                for the priests, the Church and the world.

                    I feel it is a great message Our Lady of Fatima gave –
 

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

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)

                                        19. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., p.6.
 

                If we want the world to change we must give our hearts
                to Jesus and be united.

                    Father Carter, S.J. when he started the Shepherds of Christ
                said Jesus wanted him to spread the Priestly Newsletter
                every other month to priests. He did this 20 years
                ago and with his Newsletters and Newsletter Books
                and other priests, we have circulated 17,000,000
                Priestly Newsletters in books and loose in
                these 20 years. He would send them to 85,000 priests
                every other month.

                    Father Carter, S.J. then gave us the Shepherds of Christ Prayers
                centered in devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
                praying for the priests, the Church and the world.
                Fr. Carter had a doctorate in theology and his
                Priestly Newsletters were for priests and are in
                3 Volumes of Priestly Newsletters. They are
                so good. Short readings quoting scripture
                and Popes and Saints and very gifted
                theologian priests who wrote tremendous works.
                You can order these Priestly Newsletters Books and
                use them as short meditations every day - on
                the spiritual life. They are on topics like
                Death/Resurrection, Love, Christ in us,
                Priesthood using Pope John Paul II and
                the Church Documents, Encyclicals in
                very well simple reading.
 

   
 

                Fr. Joe, my brother, celebrated
                being a priest for 50 years in May this year.
                This is his eighth book of Sunday homilies,
                Rooted in the Bread of Life, the Word and
                the Eucharist – Fr. Joe gives us a gift
                in his homilies to know more about the
                time-line of the Old Testament, how the Old Testament
                prefigures the New Testament and how Jesus truly is our
                friend and our strength. Father Joe has a Bachelor's
                and Masters' Degrees in Philosophy
                and a Master's in Divinity degree,
                also a Masters in Psychology. He was
                head of the Cathedral Deanery for many
                years and holds a license as Professional
                Clinical Counselor from the State of Ohio
                Counselor and Social Worker Board.

                    He inspires his parishioners with
                homilies found in his books. They are
                not only practical, but also filled
                with light humor and a sense of
                hope, the hope of living out the Gospel
                despite today's challenges.

                These Homily Books can be a Guiding
                Light for you as they have been for
                many others.

                    Fr. Carter, S.J., our founder, began the prayer
                chapters praying for the priests, the Church and
                the world 20 years ago. We have these,
                Shepherds of Christ prayers, in 8 languages with
                the Church's Imprimatur – English, French, Spanish,
                Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Burmese and an Indian
                dialect.

                    Fr. Carter said Mary said at Fatima, that until a
                sufficient number of people have given
                their hearts to Jesus and Mary we won't have peace
                in the world.

                    We have 24 hour adoration before the
                exposed Eucharist in our Church, St. Anthony,
                in China, Indiana. We pray for you
                there 24 hours a day and every night at 6:20pm
                in community for our beloved priests,
                the Church and the world and have since 1998.

                    I pray with the community, 8 days - every month
                in retreats for you our beloved priests
                and we usually have about 6 Masses
                that priests come and say for us every month while on
                retreat praying for the priests, the Church and the world.

                    I am Rita Robinson Ring, co-founder of the Shepherds of Christ
                Movement – this Movement is over 20 years old. The Church
                is such a gift – I wrote this song about
                our beloved priests.

                Song: A Priest is a Gift from God

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                Song: I Love You Jesus

                Please pray these prayers with us and
                    help us spread them –

                When people give their hearts to Jesus and Mary, they
                    are in one heart in the Father's
                    will – ONE MIND IN JESUS

                We have these consecration cards we spread
                    to school children.
 


                And we supply schools with cute rosaries for school children.

                Song: The Rosary Song

                Please help us start the prayer chapters.

                We spread these Morning Offering – Say Daily Cards
                    to the Nursing homes.

 

                We invite you to be in one mind and one heart with us
                    in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary praying united to
                    the Mass for the priests, the Church and
                    the world.

                Rita Robinson Ring, Co-founder
                Shepherds of Christ Ministries

We cannot get these statues any more –
the men making them were from
Portugal and no longer do so

We will have a limited number
until they are gone –

These statues are a treasure, a work of art

At the end of this message are healings
from statues and the Jesus
and Mary waters –
