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.


Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.


Messenger: Please pray for 5 urgent intentions!


Messenger: WE URGENTLY NEED FUNDS TO PUT OUT THE NEXT NEWSLETTER, PRAY FOR THIS AND FOR THE NEWSLETTER AND ALL INVOLVED.


Messenger: Our Lord has asked us to pray for a special priest and three other special priests and His designated priests.

                      Please pray for the priestly newsletter and for the intentions on the prayer list at the end of the message.


Messenger: Jesus woke me early to be with Him and I just laid there in the peace of the night and went to the depth of His Heart uniting so deeply to Him and with my beloved Father and the Holy Spirit.

I felt the presence of God so deep within me. I treasure these most holy moments with Him.

And in this time alone with God, in the early morning hours, time stands still as I meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, one by one and just let myself go. I exist in Him.

I know more the power of God since the death of my dear friend Fr. Carter. I must guard precious moments with my beloved Jesus. When I want to be close to Him, I cannot focus on things that may be troubles in my life when I am trying to be alone with Him and just be existent in Him in a deep union. There must be that act of surrender on my part. There must be this special time I choose as "Our time" to just be and focus on Him. It may be where I pray my rosary and meditate on a mystery, but it may just be to be alone with Him and allow Him to act in my soul as He so desires.

If I am always busy, even if I am doing God's special work, and don't take the time to just be alone with Him, I will miss precious moments of intimacy with Him.

I love the Mass so much, I think about it all day and I treasure the time I am in the Mass. The Consecration is so important to me, I unite as deeply as I can with all the angels and saints. I see Jesus offering sacrifice in the priest, to the Father in the Holy Spirit. I go to the pure and sinless Hearts of Jesus and Mary and I give myself as completely as I can to God in Their pure and holy Hearts.

I unite so deeply. I want such grace to be outpoured on the earth for souls. The word I want to use here is depth. I try to give myself as deeply as possible as a sacrifice united to Him (Jesus) with the purest of intensions.

I wanted to love God, all through Mass today, I just wanted to tell Him, I love You, I love You, I love You, God. I wanted to shout this from the depth of my soul in Mass. I wanted to shout it over and over again. My whole being was so absorbed in loving Him.

It isn't just the Mass I am attending now, I want to unite my whole day to all the Masses being offered around the world.

I want to be with Jesus, I want to be possessed by God, I know Jesus likes the hours between 12:00 and 3:00 on Friday, but if it is God's will for me to do other work, I have to do what God is asking me to do that day.

It is God's will that a mother take care of her baby. If she spent all day in church and ignored her children she is not doing God's will.

The most important thing is to always do God's will and stay united to the Masses in everything we do. 

Jesus tells the Shepherds of Christ apostles, handmaids and servants to go to Mass every day and spend one hour in adoration. We receive tremendous grace going to Mass to help us do this work He wants us to do.

We must do what Jesus is calling us to do. He has told apostles, handmaids and servants of the Good Shepherd that we should go to daily Mass and spend an hour before the tabernacle daily.

There may be some shut-in or sick people who can't go, but apostles, servants and handmaids go to Mass daily and spend an hour before the tabernacle. We need tremendous grace to do this work He is asking us to do. So much grace is outpoured to the soul who prays fervently in front of the tabernacle because Jesus is truly present in the tabernacle.

We can justify why we are always too busy to get to Mass.

We can get so much grace from attending one Mass.

If you are trying to live the apostles schedule and you are missing daily Mass or missing your hour, this is something you must check. Read the Blue Books especially August 28, 1993.

Jesus "drilled" this message into me about sitting before the tabernacle. Apostles, servants and handmaids should go before the tabernacle unless there is an important reason why you cannot go. You can get so much grace praying before the Divine God truly present in the Eucharist.

At Mass I approach the altar of the Lord, He gives Himself to me when I receive the Eucharist. In those moments I long for the grace to love Him more. Pray for the grace to give greater love to God.

Oh God help me to love You, give me greater grace to love You, You Who are so worthy of my love.

Jesus speaks: Stay united to Me in all you do.

Stay united to the Mass all day.

Come to Me and spend quiet moments with Me.

Pray your rosary.

Pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus.

I long to be with you.

I want you to rely on Me.

I want you to talk to Me.

I want you to endure your crosses and know 

     great grace will be released from enduring them.

I want you to forgive each other.

You are not perfect, you want others to forgive you,

     you must forgive them.

I love you so much.

I am Jesus, the Son of God.

I am the Living God.

I give you the Sacrament of Baptism.

I give you My grace.

I give you this special sharing in My life.

I live in you in a special way when you are

       in the state of grace.

I am your God.

I love you and I want you to love Me with

     your whole heart, your whole soul

    and your whole being.

    I want your love.

    Jesus.

Excerpt from the January 5, 2001 rosary

Jesus speaks: My children, I am your beloved Savior and I love you so.  
            I want you to come to the depth of My Heart.  
            I want you to love Me.  
            I want you to spend time with Me.  
            I want to have a loving relationship with you, and you treat Me so coldly.  
            I want your love.  
            I speak to you, the ones that are gathered here beneath the image of My Mother.  
            For it is for your soul that I long for.
            I long for you to come.  
            Do not look around, I am speaking to you.  
            I want that time alone, but you try to please everyone else and you think about everyone else so many times. And that is good, but when you do not have any time for Me, personal time, to just come and be with Me in an intimate embrace, I long for you.
            I am telling you now, I want this time every day, time that you set aside just to be with Me, quiet in your heart.  
            I love you so.  
            It is in those quiet moments that I will implant knowledge of Myself upon your soul and that you will know more the will of the Father for you.  
            It is in those moments that you will feel peace and serenity and yet you do not take them.
            In the letters that you write to Me, the letters will help you express more the love in your heart and help you to be a loving person more in your lives.  
            It's little things.  
            It's writing a letter and reading the Blue Book and hearing Me speak to you. And it takes time everyday, but it will change your life.  
            And I tell you this and you do not hear Me, for you think your time is so valuable and yet I can do so much in a split second that you cannot do.  
            And you fumble around and look and wonder and you try to accomplish things and you carry the load on your back all by yourself and I am right there ready to help you if you ask for My grace.  
            Or do you even realize that you are still learning?  
            So many think they know it all and they get upset if I try to tell them anything.  
            For they want to just know. And how would you know, for you are a human person and I am the Divine God.  
            God created you and yet the creature is so brazen in their ways. They think they do not need the Creator.

            "How silly," I say. But if I said to you, "tc tc," (He made a noise we cannot write) would you even listen?  
            I say to you now, "I am the Divine God and I want a loving relationship with you. I want your time. And the rest of the time will work so much better for you."  
            But you go it alone most of the day, and you kid yourself and you think you are uniting to Me.  
            That intimate time is so valuable to your life.  
            I give you My intimate letters of love in God's Blue Book to help you stay focused on the things that are above and you stay in that earthy realm and you get caught up in so many silly things and one word from your God in a simple opening of the book could help change the course of events.  
            Listen to Me. I speak to you. I am the Divine God.

Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks: 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.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.

A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.

On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say: 

May God heal                     through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.

Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.

May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.

We believe with all our hearts.

After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.

May                     be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.
