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.

December 30, 1999

Messenger: Jesus is the New Adam, Mary is the New Eve.

I feel as if I have been impregnated with His knowledge of His life alive in Me.

The spotless Virgin, the most perfect spouse of the Lamb. Bishop Sheen calls her the symbol of the Church, of this he says:

31 Mary and John

We have the new Adam and the new Eve. Our Lord on the cross is the new Adam, the Blessed Mother at the foot of the cross is the new Eve. And we're going to have the consummation of a marriage, and out of the consummated marriage of the new Adam and the new Eve is going to begin the new church of which John will be the symbol. And so the new Adam looking down now to the woman, says: "Woman, your son." And to the son, he did not say "John" (he would have then been only the son of Zebedee), but "Son, your mother." Here is the begetting of a new life. The Blessed Mother becomes the symbol of the church. And as Eve was the mother of the living, so Mary becomes the mother of the new living in the order of grace. ¹

Genesis 3:20

The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live.

Messenger: And Bishop Sheen further states:

20 Nuptials on the cross

From the cross our Lord looks down to his Blessed Mother and St. John, and he develops this new relationship in the kingdom of heaven. Now we've always thought, and rightly so, of Christ the Son on the cross and the mother beneath him. But that's not the complete picture. That's not the deep understanding. Who is our Lord on the cross? He's the new Adam. Where's the new Eve? At the foot of the cross. ...How did the old humanity begin? With the nuptials. How will the new humanity begin? With the nuptials. If Eve became the mother of the living in the natural order, is not this woman at the foot of the cross to become another mother? And so the bridegroom looks down at the bride. He looks at his beloved. Christ looks at his church. There is here the birth of the church. As St. Augustine puts it, and here I am quoting him verbatim, "The heavenly bridegroom left the heavenly chambers, with the presage of the nuptials before him. He came to the marriage bed of the cross, a bed not of pleasure, but of pain, united himself with the woman, and consummated the union forever. As it were, the blood and water that came from the side of Christ was the spiritual seminal fluid. And so from this nuptials "Woman, there's your son": the beginning of the church. ²

John 19:25-27

Jesus and his mother

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

Messenger: Bishop Sheen speaks to us again in the following two paragraphs:

21 Man and woman in the church

Our Blessed Lord said the word is the seed, the seed is the word. Man gives the seed. The woman receives the seed, fosters it, nourishes it, gives birth to it, loves it, trains it. There's no such thing as inferiority and superiority. Instead of being a question of inferiority and superiority, it is only a question of the different roles that we play -- the man is the symbol of Christ, and the woman is the symbol of the church. Many people no longer have an understanding of the church as the body of Christ. Jesus loves his body. ...The Blessed Mother beneath the cross is the symbol of the church, and John is the first born. ³

30 Our virgin birth

I cannot see why a Christian should be in the least bit troubled about the virgin birth, because there's a virgin birth in us all. Everyone who becomes a Christian has Christ in him. Christ is born... in everyone by baptism. There is first of all the renewal crisis in the intellect so that, as Paul says, we "put on the mind of Christ." He is in the will, as grace and power. And he is in our body, because our body becomes the temple of God. The convert (it's easy to understand in a convert because one can always distinguish the before and after state) can often say: "Oh, yes, at this precise date I heard the word of God. And the word was born in me so that I have his truth and his grace, and he's living inside of my body." There is conception by perception, conception by the hearing of the word of God. ⁴

Messenger: And so in Baptism, Christ is in us. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in us.

The Holy Spirit works in oneness with the Virgin Mother to bring forth Christ in us and in the Church.

The Incarnation goes on.

The fire of God's love is enkindled in our hearts more and more as the Holy Spirit works within the Heart of Mary, her spiritual womb, to bring forth the Word alive in us more and more.

And so I quote from Scripture what Jesus said: (Reference entire John: 16)

I quote here, John 16:4-7:

John 16:4-7

But I have told you all this,
so that when the time for it comes
you may remember that I told you.

The coming of the Paraclete

I did not tell you this from the beginning,
because I was with you;
but now I am going to the one
  who sent me.
Not one of you asks,
  'Where are you going?'
Yet you are sad at heart
  because I have told you this.
Still, I am telling you the truth:
it is for your own good that I am going,
because unless I go,
the Paraclete will not come to you;
but if I go,
I will send him to you.

Excerpt from Apostles' Manual, P. 22

Life in the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is given to us to transform us in the likeness of Christ. This is an ongoing process. Here is a message of Jesus which speaks to the issue:

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 My Mother's Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My Heart. In both of 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! (Message of Jesus given to Father Carter).⁵

Messenger: On Ascension Thursday, buckled over in pain, I heard Him cry out:

"I AM ALIVE, I AM ALIVE, I AM ALIVE." And I received the message in the Apostles' Manual. I reference here Apostles Manual P. 418-421.

I quote here:

Excerpt from Apostles' Manual, P. 420

Messenger: I cried so hard, I have never been so immersed in heartache. I heard Him shout, "I Am Alive, I Am Alive." I cried so hard, I could hardly write."

Messenger: On January 9, 1994, I was told by the Father:

Excerpt from Blue Book II, P.18

God the Father speaks: "My gift to you is My Son. This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

Messenger: On August 20, 1997 I was told,

Excerpt from August 7, 1999 daily message

God the Father speaks: "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, listen to Him."

Messenger: On December 5, 1996, 12 days before Mary appeared on the building, Jesus appeared on the cross at the point of death with His mouth moving. Later that night in a rosary at the 6:20 prayer service on the 5th, I was told He did this because no one was listening to Him.

On September 22, 1997, He cries out,

Excerpt from September 24, 1999 daily message

Jesus speaks: "STIFF-NECKED, stiff-necked, stiff-necked. There will be a new heaven and a new earth. The old order will pass away. For they worshipped Me with their lips only and their hearts were far from Me.

Excerpt from January 19, 1999 daily message

Messenger: On September 22, 1997, He said, "Would the destruction of your temples bring you to your knees? Or should I destroy My own houses?"

I suffered and suffered for three days.

At the end of the week, an earthquake tore apart the Basilica in Assisi and a picture of St. Francis and St. Clare, a famous fresco, was on many of the newspapers around the world.

Messenger: On the 27th of December, 1999, the anniversary of the day on which I received the Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, I went through a sort of hell and it lasted into December 28. It was also the anniversary of the message, Your Bridegroom Awaits.

What I want to talk about is the pain was so excruciating inside as if I felt I could sweat blood and nothing would silence it. I just wanted to cry out in pain from the depth of my soul. I wanted it to stop. I was given messages concerning how He wants us to be His spouses.

Oh God, I cry inside from knowing the glories of heaven and the reality of hell and its awfulness. There is no love in hell and the hell of knowing we will never have God which our souls crave so is a pain of a dark hole we cannot imagine. Oh God, I cry inside to turn my insides out and beg the earth to unite in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray as a body, to pray the Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Spouse of the Lamb Prayer, and the Prayer for Union with Jesus.

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

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.

Messenger: Let us pray as Jesus has requested.

Oh, and to contrast that to when He hung on the cross at the point of death December 5, 1996.

December 19, 1996

THERE IS A MAN ON THE CROSS

God wants union with us. He wants fire. Many try to love God with a cold heart. They tell Him words that they think they should say that are loving.

When one loves, they do not need to be prompted to say words. From the depth of their being they cry out their words of love. It is a cry from within, from the fire within their chest, behind the words. The words are burning in their chest and must be released because of the fire behind them.

We are as blind men. We do not see the great gifts that God gives to us. It is as if we stand by the shore of the sea and throw little words at Jesus. We must not be afraid to jump into the water and be completely immersed in His love. He was consumed with such love for us. He gave Himself to His death on the cross.

There is a man on a cross and he tells us so many things. He does not have to speak. When we study Him on the cross, He speaks to us with His pierced hands, His head covered with blood, His body withered and beaten. He speaks to us of His undying love.

Oh, beloved Savior, I am blind. I am selfish. I do not see the great reservoir of love that you give to Me. I see the man dying on the cross. How do I see Him? Do I see a figure and think, oh, is it a pretty cross, would it look good in my living room? Do I see the cross and think, oh, I guess I should have one in my house, others will think I am holy then? Holy people do have a cross in their homes.

Do I see the body of a man, a live man? Do I see His labored breath? Do I see His chest move as His Heart beats within? Do I see the real skin of a man? Do I see the real blood He shed? Do I see the light that silhouettes His withered body? Do I see the Light of the World? Do I see the tender skin of an infant laid on bare wood in the manager and then the torn, lacerated, bloodied skin of this man?

This is love! There is a man on the cross. There is a child born to us today. He is the Light of the World. His light is shining in the darkness, but people do not see. They see the wood, but they view it for the beauty it will create in their newly decorated living rooms.

The cross is not a thing of the past, the cross is with us today. We carry it on our backs as He showed us we would, but we try to take it off and throw it away.

It is in the cross there is the resurrection. It is by meditating on the crucifix, we see His undying love. We must open up our eyes and see. Pray for vision to see clearly the man Who gave Himself for love of us, Our Divine Lord.

And how do we return His love?

Love is spontaneous, love is fire in our hearts, love is alive and emitted with force. God is love.

Do we realize that His last thoughts on the cross were for us. In this agony, as He hung on the cross, He was consumed with burning love for us. When He was scourged at the pillar, He was comforted by our acts of love that we give to Him today. Our burning love for Him was sweetness to His most Sacred Heart in the moments of His bitter Passion.

Love gives and wants to give its all. A person in love does not need to be prompted and told to love. Love wants to give.

Love is given spontaneously, it is not controlled. Love is tenderness pouring forth from the heart. Love is not concerned with commitment, love by itself is committed. It pours forth from the mouth of the lover because of the fire burning deep inside.

Let us study the battered body of Christ on the cross. As I study His pierced hands and feet, His head crowned with thorns, the blood pouring forth from His Heart, as I view the lacerations covering His body, I feel His word well up in my heart. He speaks to me in the depth of my soul and I hear Him say, "I love you. I love you. I love you, to My death on the cross."

He gives, He gives, He gives to us constantly. He gives and how is He treated by us? We take and we take and we take and we don't even say thanks. Thanks for our breath, our heartbeat, the beautiful sky, the sunlit day, the moon at night, the beautiful eyes of our friends. Oh, how many things He gives to us and how ungrateful we are!

How is your day? Is your glass half-empty or half-full?

How often my glass is half empty, as I am reminded by my spiritual director, Fr. Carter. How often I do not thank Our Divine Lord for His gifts!

When I am filled with love, I see more clearly. The secret is to know God's love. We must pray for the grace to know His love more and for the grace to love Him more.

There is a man on the cross. Do we see His undying love for us? He speaks no words. He shows us the crucifix. The words are alive in our hearts.

The Father created us to love and to be loved. God is love. He wants union with us. He gives Himself to us. This is love. There is union in proportion to how I give myself to Him.

Jesus gives and gives and gives and we treat Him "nonchalantly". He gives us love, but we must give ourselves to Him to have union with Him. He wants us to be one with Him.

We must relish the great gifts He gives to us - the greatest gift being the gift of Himself. We should anticipate the great gift of receiving Him in the Holy Eucharist with such eagerness in our hearts. The words I feel in my heart are expressed in the song, "I Love You, Jesus":

Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the host, I know You're here to love and care for me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. I cannot say. There are not words to say what my heart feels. I love You so, I scarce can breathe when You come into me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. Your tender Heart, Oh how it beats for love of each this day. I want to give You all my love, surrender totally. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

When we awake at night, we must think of Him and how we will receive Him the next day. We long to go to Communion to receive Him. We love Jesus in the Eucharist so much. A King comes to us. He enters our body and unites with our soul. He is the King of the kingdom of heaven…He is our Lover, He is the Almighty God, a Divine Person, and He comes to us. He wants us to come to Him with such longing. He wants us to think of Him all day. He wants us to long for Him.

Ps. 63:1-8:

God, you are my God, I pine for you;
my heart thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
as a land parched, dreary and waterless.
Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and your glory.
Better your faithful love than life itself;
my lips will praise you.
Thus I will bless you all my life,
in your name lift up my hands.
All my longings fulfilled as with fat and rich foods,
a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.
On my bed when I think of you,
I muse on you in the watches of the night,
for you have always been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
my heart clings to you,
your right hand supports me.

The priest says in the Mass at the Offertory, "By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the Divinity of Christ, Who humbled himself to share in our humanity." He gives Himself to us. He shares His Divinity with us. We are human creatures and He shares Himself with us. My heart burns when the priest puts the drop of water in the wine. This is, indeed, a great mystery that God remains with us today, truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist, that He gives Himself to us in Communion, and that He waits for us to come to the tabernacle and be with Him. He wants to outpour His divine love and His divine life to us.

We should swoon for our Lover the Almighty, Divine God, yet we go to Him with such cold hearts. He wants our burning love.

The song "I Love You, Jesus":

Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. I cannot say. There are not words to say what my heart feels. I love You so, I scarce can breathe when You come into me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. Your tender Heart, Oh how it beats for love of each this day. I want to give You all my love, surrender totally. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

Messenger: The fruit is there for the asking. (Reference - October 8, 1997, Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine)

WE MUST UNITE AS A BODY as the SPOUSE of CHRIST.

WE MUST give ourselves to the pure Hearts of the New Adam and New Eve.

We must pray as this body united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Oh, we need to be so aware of how we help in the act of redemption by uniting to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Mass.

Messenger: The interaction of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit brings forth the Word alive in us.

He is the Word. To be in communion with Him deeper and deeper in the Eucharist is to know Him more. The Word will be more and more alive in our hearts.

Messenger: Be with me, buckled over in pain, and hear Him holler, "I Am Alive, I Am Alive, I Am Alive. (Apostles' Manual, May 25, 1999 message, P. 420)

Be with me and see Him hanging at the point of death on the cross in anguishing pain with His mouth moving. Cry with me and feel the horror I felt.

Be with me to see Him transfigured on the cross August 20, 1997, and hear the Father speak:

See with me Mary appear before me 500 times. She cried out about the souls going into hell, our young ones growing up into a trap set by Satan.

Then they wouldn't believe she appeared on the building. Do they still not believe?

Sweat blood with Jesus in the garden. Share in His knowledge that souls would go to hell despite His suffering and death.

Feel the blood pour out from your pores because of the anguishing pain.

The newsletter is the instrument Christ intends to use to teach the priests more and more about His life alive in their hearts and also to teach them about consecration.

The Mass Book needs to circulate, we have none left.

The prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) need to be said by all, preferably in front of the tabernacle.

We need to be united to the Mass at every single second, united as a body, giving our lives to God, living in the Father's will.

Holy Spirit, help us.

Amen.

JESUS IS THE LAMB of GOD.
