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.

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.

    Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.
    Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.
    I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
    I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!
    I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!
    I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
    Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
    Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

                            to all.

Mary speaks:           I desire the rosary of March 30, 1995
                            to circulate to all. Put it on cards like the 
                            stations. Pass out at my site in Florida
                            with a little black and white picture at the top of
                            my image, with the address of the Building in
                            Clearwater, Florida and the other information for
                            Shepherds of Christ Ministries.

                                Funds are needed desperately because of the
                            problem in Florida, due to the breaking of the

Sorrowful Mysteries

  

Jesus speaks:    My little children

            The Agony in the Garden

                1) Jesus speaks: They beat Me and condemned Me to death.
                2) My men and women have trouble communicating.
                3) You are different, you must put aside pride,
                    jealousy and work in love to communicate.
                4) My retreats given in China will help you to be
                    more pure in your actions.
                5) The intentions you have for doing something
                    should be pure.
                6) I sweat Blood in the garden for your sins.
                7) So many men and women are so argumentative they
                    will prolong a conversation trying to
                    win over simple matters wanting to
                    be right.
                8) Mary is the New Eve.
                    Mary is pure.
                    Model your life after Mary.
                    Mary appeared in My garden in Florida
                        for over 7 years.
                    You argue and complain.
                    Some are so prideful they want to be right.
                    Where in your hearts can I find love for
                        your brother.
                    Some come from a place of being wounded
                        feeling cheated and they carry this
                        attitude in every situation
                        there is not peace in their hearts
                        it is competition
                        it is being accepted
                        it is fighting for status in every word they speak.
                    Let go of that feeling of superiority
                        live to promote My Kingdom
                        pray to be pure in the intentions for why you act
                        let go of inordinate attachments
                    Live to be holy be loving
                    Don't come from the heart that feels wounded
                        all the time ready to strike wanting
                        to be validated by your brothers
                        looking for love and supremacy all the time
                        pray to see yourself as you really are
                        pray to know your faults
                        live to love not having to win in every
                        conversation
                        speak with love as I desire you to speak
                        speak as I desire you to speak
                        don't give into pride, selfishness
                        don't give into acting to get ahead for your
                            own selfish gain
                        work in your community in love
                        don't let down on morals
                        stand tall for the truth
                9) I am the New Adam
                        I sweat My Blood for your sins
                        for your acts of anger, selfishness and pride
              10) Little children learn every day how to act
                        by how you act.
                        Do you want the children of God to model you
                            you who need to be validated and want recognition?

 

  

        Jesus is whipped at the pillar

                1) Jesus speaks: They whipped Me.
                    They beat Me.
                    They took turns.
                2) What you do hatefully to your brothers you do to Me.
                    Some are so insecure inside from hurt relationships
                    they act out their insecurities by trying to get
                    validation all the time in whatever they do.
                3) I love you.
                    I give you My Blue Book writings, letters of love
                    I want you to carry this book with you and live
                    by these messages. I love you so much. I
                    want you to operate from strength, not from
                    fear. Some act in ways that tear homes,
                    businesses apart because of their insecurity
                    and failure to really believe how much they
                    are loved, how important they are to Me.
                    They fail to see how God the Father created
                    them and loves them so much.
                4) They beat Me for your sins.
                5) My love is no little love.

                6) Song: Song from Jesus
                7) Song: Little Child
                8) You are loved by Me.
                    You are the creation of the Father.
                    I was beaten for your sins.
                    I am a God of justice.
                9) In the end all will be judged.
                    You must look inside yourself and tell
                    yourself how much I love you.
                    Read My Blue Book Messages, My letters of
                        love to you.
              10) Read My Second Blue Book

Excerpts from the Rosary of April 5, 2004

                         Jesus Carries His Cross

3.  God the Father speaks:   
                                And I have given to you 
                                    this beautiful image of your Mother 
                                    and some person of this earth defaced her.  

4.  God the Father speaks:   
                                I sent your Mother Mary as a messenger 
                                    to you My beloved earth 
                                    and you wiped off her face.  

5.  God the Father speaks:   
                                You crowned the head of My Son, 
                                    you beat Him at the pillar, 
                                    you hit Him with hard objects 
                                    and you hung Him on a tree to die. 

                                I sent your Mother Mary 
                                    as a messenger to you My beloved earth 
                                    and you wiped off her face. 

                                Oh that you would pay attention 
                                    to the message that I have given 
                                    for so many will be marauded 
                                    into the fires of hell 
                                    because of their lives of sin.

Excerpts from the Rosary of April 5, 2004

                             My child, I love you,
                                      I love you,
                                      I love you,
                                      I love you,
                                      I love you.

Scourging at the Pillar

1.  Jesus speaks:   I was beaten at the pillar
                                    My flesh was torn,
                                    they came at Me with their whips
                                    and they hit Me,
                                    again and again they hit Me
                                    and they made Me bleed.  

                              Oh My people,
                                    the message I have delivered to you
                                    over this decade
                                    is the message of My burning love
                                    and how My Heart was wounded
                                    for all those this day that would reject Me
                                    and use My name in vain.  

                              Oh My beloved ones do not stop,
                                    continue to do all that you are doing
                                    to help promote My Kingdom,
                                    for the moments go by so quickly
                                    and soon your life is ended.

                              All your good works will be remembered.
                              Oh how, how do you want Me to tell you
                                    how I love you
                                    for I send so many gifts and I am ignored.  

                              I am Jesus your Savior,
                                    I am the King of Glory
                                    the Savior of this World.  

9.  Messenger:      And He speaks and He says

Jesus speaks:        I love you , I love you, I love you,
                              My precious soul to My death on the cross,
                                  I loved you I gave My all for love of you.
                              Today I give you Myself in the Eucharist.
                              Come to Me
                                  for I am longing for you to come
                                  and to receive Me.  

Crowning with Thorns  

1.  Jesus speaks:   And they whipped Me
                                    and they crowned My head 
                                    with thorns.

7.  Jesus speaks:   I am your King.
8.  Jesus speaks:   And they crowned Me
                                    with a crown of thorns.
                                    This was the crown they gave
                                        to your King.  
9.  Jesus speaks:   And they gave Me a dirty purple robe
                                    and a scepter to hold
                                    and they mocked Me
                                    and they spit on Me
                                    and they called Me a King 
                                    laughing.
10.  Jesus speaks:  And I withstood the torture
                                    and My thoughts were of you.

                               My beloved one,
                                    I love you,
                                    I love you,
                                    I love you.  

Jesus Carries His Cross

1.  Jesus speaks:      And they whipped Me
                                and they crowned Me 
                                with a crown of thorns.

                                 And they gave Me a cross 
                                to carry on My back 
                                and My shoulder felt as if it would break 
                                and I fell to the ground, 
                                but My thoughts were of you 
                                My beloved ones for I love you.

                                And so many times 
                                you have all these negative thoughts in your mind 
                                and you want this little love 
                                and you go into your negative thinking 
                                and I am right there.

                               And I tell you look into My eyes 
                                with the cross on My back 
                                and know how deeply I love you. 
                            I am Jesus, the Savior of the world.
 

                                And what happens 
                                    when you give into this negative thinking?

                                You are not My light in the darkness.

                                You become many times 
                                    so focused on yourself 
                                    and I ask you to spread My light to the world 
                                    and you are pitying yourself, 
                                    thinking of things that stop you from being a light.  

                                Oh My child, 
                                    if you do not deliver the message, 
                                    who will deliver this message that I have given 
                                    through My messengers 
                                    in the Shepherds of Christ?

                                I have given these messages through Fr. Carter 
                                    and through Rita Ring 
                                    and I ask you to spread the Red Rosary Book
   
                                 God’s Blue Book and the Daily Messages 
                                    to the far ends of the earth.

                                These are the messages of My love.  

Mary speaks:          I stood beneath the cross of my Son 
                                    and my heart, 
                                    my heart my children 
                                    to watch my Son as He suffered. 
                                If you would have seen into the eyes of my Son --
                                    if you would see the love that He has for you.  

                                Oh my little children of light, 
                                    carry this message into the darkness 
                                    for your Mother Mary 
                                    for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. 
                                I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored.  

                                Today my children 
                                    I am with you in a very special way. 
                                I ask you as your Mother Mary 
                                    to carry these writings of Fr. Carter 
                                    and my messenger Rita Ring to this world.

6.  Mary speaks:   The souls are dropping into hell like rain 
                                    and you will not listen to the message 
                                    that I came to deliver to you today.
 

Jesus speaks:   Because of this abominable task, 
                            whatever was done here to the face of Mary, 
                            I ask you to help the Shepherds of Christ 
                            to secure this building permanently. 

Messenger:      This is the message that I have received from Jesus 
                            that we in the Shepherds of Christ 
                            secure this building permanently. 

                        Now that this has happened to the face of Mary 
                            I come to you as a messenger from God 
                            and I deliver this message.

                    God created the fish in the sea.
                    The fish in the ocean are so beautiful
                        all so different, so brightly colored
                        Many fish swim so beautifully
                    We see the birds of the air they fly so
                        beautifully for all of us to see
                        God created these beautiful birds and fish
                            for us.
                    If we see how the birds fly the beautiful
                        skies with such precision and the
                        fish swim the beautiful waters of
                        the blue sea, I cannot see how
                        one could not believe in a Creator,
                        above us who operates it all and
                        keeps it in place.
                  10) God gives us so many gifts Jesus ascended
                        into heaven and left us to dwell on this
                        earth here below. To enjoy the good things
                        He has given to us. To be with us in a
                        special way in the Holy Eucharist.
                        I hear Him call out
                            "I am alive", "I am alive", "I am alive",
                            and I am treated like a dead object
                            by so many.

                          

Ascension Thursday May 21, 1998

Jesus speaks:  (with great emotion)  COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!!  I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.

I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.

Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.

Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lense graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.

I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.

Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blindmen and I shout to you.

My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart.

Messenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!

Messenger: As I unite with Him in the most intimate experiences in the Eucharist, I become one in His desires and what He wants, I become more as He is. He is the life, He is the resurrection, He is God.

I become more in Him, His desires are my desires, the Father's Plan is imprinted in my soul during the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. I am transformed immensely in those moments after Communion to being alive in Him.

God the Father: I am God, you are man, I have given My Son Jesus to you to unite your soul to Me. I am the Father, He is the First Born from the dead. Life will abound in heaven and on earth.

God has visited His people and now He Reigns. He has ransomed them with the Blood of the Lamb.

Messenger: Some time between Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.

goldlamb.gif (63854 bytes)I saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the Apostles Manual (p. 34-36).

The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.

The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on the water at Tom's Farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its description.

There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open, glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold and went in.

The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.

I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."

I heard the words similar to the message of May 21, 1998.

I was walled in on all sides – BARS – a prison of my own making. I turned and there was a wall missing and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

I hear Jesus speak: "I am the gateway that leads to freedom."

I know the sea of glass from the vision of March 26, 1996. I know the open door from the vision.

I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in the Mass.

Jesus speaks: (Ascension Day May 21, 1998)

Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wish to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will, Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. Your have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart.

I am the gateway that leads to Freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God.

Come out of your tombs, I am alive, I am treated as a dead object.

Sing a new song, the dead shall be raised.

They conquered the devil with the Blood of the Lamb.

Pray to the Holy Spirit to come mightily on you.

            Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles

                1) The Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles
                        and the Virgin Mary.
                2)
Acts 2: 1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

                    3) The apostles who were afraid were filled
                        with fearlessness and went out into
                        the world to preach.

                4) 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).12

            Assumption

                1) Mary was taken into heaven body and soul.

                2) Mary Our Mother

As Jesus hung upon the cross in His excruciating suffering, He gave Mary to us as our spiritual Mother:

...standing by the cross of Jesus were His Mother, and His Mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His Mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, He said to His Mother, 'Woman, behold, your son!' Then He said to the disciple, 'Behold, your Mother!' (Jn 19: 25-26).

                                                                From the Spirituality Handbook

                3) Mary Our Mother

Yes, John, the disciple, represented all of us. Jesus, in giving Mary to John as His Mother, was giving her to all of us as our spiritual Mother. We can never thank Jesus sufficiently for this great gift. Mary is your Mother and she is my Mother. Pope John Paul II tells us how Mary is Mother to each of us according to each one's uniqueness:

From the Spirituality Handbook

                4) Mary Our Mother

Of the essence of motherhood is the fact that it concerns the person. Motherhood always establishes a unique and unrepeatable relationship between two people: between mother and child and between child and mother. Even when the same woman is the mother of many children, her personal relationship with each one of them is of the very essence of motherhood...9

9. Pope John Paul II, The Mother of the Redeemer (Redemptoris Mater), United States Catholic Conference, Washington, D.C., 1987, No. 38.    

From the Spirituality Handbook

                5) Mary Our Mother

It can be said that motherhood 'in the order of grace' preserves the analogy with what 'in the order of nature' characterizes the union between mother and child.9

9. Pope John Paul II, The Mother of the Redeemer (Redemptoris Mater), United States Catholic Conference, Washington, D.C., 1987, No. 38.

From the Spirituality Handbook

                6) Mary Our Mother

Let us always thank Mary that she is the Mother of each of us according to each one's uniqueness. I can truly say that Mary is my Mother in an unrepeatable way, and you can truly say that she is your Mother in an unrepeatable way. Realizing what a great and unique love Mary has for each of us, what reason could we ever have for not always going to her? What reason could we ever have for not asking her to take us as her beloved children and to hold us close to her maternal and Immaculate Heart where we always experience the love, the warmth, the tenderness of this magnificent Mother?

            Coronation

                1) Revelation 12: 1-8

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that he could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the Son who was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.

                2) 1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

    In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

                3) John 17: 11-26

I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
keep those you have given me
   true to your name,
so that they may be one like us.
While I was with them,
I kept those you had given me
   true to your name.
I have watched over them
   and not one is lost
except one who was destined to be lost,
and this was to fulfil the scriptures.
But now I am coming to you
and I say these things in the world
to share my joy with them to the full.
I passed your word on to them,
and the world hated them,
because they belong to the world
no more than I belong to the world.
I am not asking you
   to remove them from the world,
but to protect them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth;
your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
I have sent them into the world,
and for their sake I consecrate myself
so that they too
   may be consecrated in truth.
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
   and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
   you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
   that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
   may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.

                4) Revelation 14: 1-7

Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty–four thousand people, all with his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders, a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty–four thousand who had been redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women; they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first–fruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.

Then I saw another angel, flying high overhead, sent to announce the gospel of eternity to all who live on the earth, every nation, race, language and tribe. He was calling, ‘Fear God and glorify him, because the time has come for him to sit in judgement; worship the maker of heaven and earth and sea and the springs of water.’ 

                5) Revelation 19: 7-8

let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.’

                6) 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.

                7) Revelation 22: 20

   The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.

    Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

                8) Sing: Song from Jesus

                9) 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.

              10) Sing: I Love You Jesus

                    Sing: Glory Glory Glory Lord

                    Play: Ave Maria
                    Sing: Hail Mary Gentle Woman
