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: He took me within His Heart yesterday. I had emptied myself in the Mass. I knew, to a small extent, His overwhelming love for all. I loved all in Him selflessly in this intense union.
Soon I am out of the ecstasy, I become focused on self and I know more my selfishness in my imperfect ways of loving.
Something sticks in my mind from a message October 5, 1992, when I asked Him if He was to write a book if He would take my hand and write for the world.
He took my hand that day and gave me a lengthy writing.
It said something about there being enough love to go around.
This is how I feel sometimes when I am feeling insecure about love relationships. It is as if love will run out or I will get left out or someone will maybe not appreciate or love me when I am sacrificing for them.
One thing is certain, we want a loving connection in our hearts. One thing is certain, He will never let us down. He loved us to His death on the cross. We must die to our selfish ways of loving, be connected, be one in Him. We must love as God wills us to love! Jealousy is not of Him. We must want to love as the Father wills. We cannot control others. He is always there! We must suffer!
Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 12-16:
Deuteronomy 8:2-3
Remember the long road by which Yahweh your God led you for forty years in the desert, to humble you, to test you and know your inmost heart -- whether you would keep his commandments or not. He humbled you, he made you feel hunger, he fed you with manna which neither you nor your ancestors had ever known, to make you understand that human beings live not on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Yahweh.
Deuteronomy 8:12-16
When you have eaten all you want, when you have built fine houses to live in, when you have seen your flocks and herds increase, your silver and gold abound and all your possessions grow great, do not become proud of heart. Do not then forget Yahweh your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the place of slave-labour, who guided you through this vast and dreadful desert, a land of fiery snakes, scorpions, thirst; who in this waterless place brought you water out of the flinty rock; who in this desert fed you with manna unknown to your ancestors, to humble you and test you and so make your future the happier.

Mary speaks: My suffering was so deep, only by God's grace could a human person experience such suffering.
There were not wounds, there was no blood, there was, my Child, only the experiences of my Heart. My Heart was pierced so deeply with a sword. Such deep pain, a sword piercing would not describe the pain I had. Do you wonder how deep did the sword pierce my Heart? The depth was incomprehensible. My life was lived in such connectedness with my Son, in such intimacy with Him. I watched my beloved Son, to Whom I was so closely united for 33 years, suffer so dishonorably.
My sufferings were for you, child. I love you as no earthly mother ever loved a child. I am your most loving Mother. If I underwent such suffering for you, do you think I would not be protecting and loving you now? I have not gone. I am with you!
If I could only tell you what I saw: my Son suffering for love of you. If I could let you see through my eyes what He suffered for love of you!
If you meditate on His Passion in the rosary and the Stations, you see His immense love. I will help you to see His love more and more through my eyes.
I appear to tell all of this suffering. This is the key to understanding how much you are loved. Think of what I saw, look through my eyes, hold His lifeless Body under the cross, meditate on the Seven Sorrows that I hold deep in my Heart. It is there you will know His immense love. Look at my Son through a Mother's eyes. Look at Him as He dragged the heavy cross on His way to the Crucifixion. Stand by and watch them pull His hair and drag Him away, and beat His precious bare Body. Stand with me, little ones, as I walked with Him and look through my eyes. You will realize more His great love for you.
Go to Him, love Him, He is in the Eucharist this day. He longs, longs for your individual love. He is your lover, on FIRE for love of you. I love you so much.
I am Mary, your Mother.

Messenger: We must see Christ's love poured out to us through one another. He operates in our brothers. One of the ways He loves us is through others. We must see Christ in each person.
Am I acting like Christ to my brothers?
Am I the reflection of the Christ Who lives within me?
Christ wants to love His beloved ones through me. Am I loving my brothers as He wants me to?
Did I act like Christ would?
Jesus, help me to let You live through me. Help me to be the empty vessel You use to spread Your love to others.
I love You so, thank You for the love You pour out to me this day. I am Your grateful child and I love You.

You do not see the abundant blessing I am pouring on you. I am Jesus and I am forever guarding you. Hold tight to My hand, focus on My ardent burning Heart on fire for love of you. Release all anxieties and fears as you find such shelter in My Heart.
You are surrounded by My enfolding love. You are warmed and cradled by My arms. I am your tender Jesus, gentlest of all hearts, come to love you so ardently this very day.
Let go into My most waiting arms. My Mother will place you in the very recesses of My Heart. She is your most loving Mother. Come to Me through her Immaculate Heart.
