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.

January 14, 2000 - First Message

Jesus speaks: My children,

I beg of you to continue the Novena at 6:20 as I have requested. Please include the "Jiffy Sheet".

Your prayers have affected the whole Church and the world.

Your prayers are so powerful when you are united as a body at 6:20. Many pray at 6:20 Florida time. Those praying at 6:20 their time provide a continual coverage of prayers. When done properly and spoken aloud with the rosary, the prayers take about 45 minutes. When done silently, considerably less time is needed, unless one spends extra time in contemplation. This is the norm.

I desire your response and contemplation as the Spirit leads you when you pray privately. I am not telling you to rush.

I ask those who are able, to use the meditations we have given with the rosary.

Short meditations are given in the children’s and elderly rosary book.

I highly recommend the Parents and Children Rosary Book.Children's Rosary Book Cover

Also the Red Rosary Book, rosaries.jpg (3222 bytes)
Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary can be used.

 

Jesus speaks: It is important that you pray as a body. See yourself in a situation similar to the Apostles in the upper room joined with Mary.

The apostles are joined in Florida praying under the Image of Mary for a special coming of the Holy Spirit. In China they pray before the tabernacle.

The prayers are most powerful before the tabernacle.

The apostles are praying at Mary’s House, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, usually before the tabernacle, and in Morrow many times in My humble barn.

I ask you to be united in your hearts and pray on the earth, joined to those under Mary’s image at 6:20, begging for oneness and for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pray as a body, ask that the Blood of Jesus be spread on you and that you are protected from the evil one. Pray united as a body and know this time is so powerful, for people are praying with you.

The Father looks to the earth. He sees this constant vigil as you pray as I and your heavenly Mother have instructed.

He sees you pleading for the earth, for the Church, the world and the priests.

He sees your prayers united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

He is so pleased. Your earth is covered with My precious Blood.

You unite in the Holy Sacrifice, praying as a body.

I beg all of you, I beg you to do all you can to get all to pray these prayers as I have instructed.

One priest who prays can increase the prayer power tremendously. I beg you to pray as a body feeling that unity, united to the Mass, being one in Our Hearts through consecration.

Oh My men, I love you so I died for you.

Oh please hear Me and pray as I have instructed.

I love you, Jesus.

January 14, 2000 - Second Message

Messenger: Today is the end of the Novena, another 108 days, 12 weeks.

Today is the 14th day of the first month of the year. They were told in Exodus to roast the lamb on the 14th day of the first month and spread some of its blood on the door posts and lintels. At 12:00 midnight, death went through Egypt as described below.

Exodus 12:1-20

Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 'This month must be the first of all the months for you, the first month of your year. Speak to the whole community of Israel and say, "On the tenth day of this month each man must take an animal from the flock for his family: one animal for each household. If the household is too small for the animal, he must join with his neighbour nearest to his house, depending on the number of persons. When you choose the animal, you will take into account what each can eat. It must be an animal without blemish, a male one year old; you may choose it either from the sheep or from the goats. You must keep it till the fourteenth day of the month when the whole assembly of the community of Israel will slaughter it at twilight. Some of the blood must then be taken and put on both door-posts and the lintel of the houses where it is eaten. That night, the flesh must be eaten, roasted over the fire; it must be eaten with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fire, with the head, feet and entrails. You must not leave any of it over till the morning: whatever is left till morning you must burn. This is how you must eat it: with a belt round your waist, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. You must eat it hurriedly: it is a Passover in Yahweh's honour. That night, I shall go through Egypt and strike down all the first-born in Egypt, man and beast alike, and shall execute justice on all the gods of Egypt, I, Yahweh! The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are. When I see the blood I shall pass over you, and you will escape the destructive plague when I strike Egypt. This day must be commemorated by you, and you must keep it as a feast in Yahweh's honour. You must keep it as a feast-day for all generations; this is a decree for all time.

The feast of the Unleavened Bread

"For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you must clean the leaven out of your houses, for anyone who eats leavened bread from the first to the seventh day must be outlawed from Israel. On the first day you must hold a sacred assembly, and on the seventh day a sacred assembly. On those days no work may be done; you will prepare only what each requires to eat. You must keep the feast of Unleavened Bread because it was on that same day that I brought your armies out of Egypt. You will keep that day, generation after generation; this is a decree for all time. In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day, you must eat unleavened bread. For seven days there may be no leaven in your houses, since anyone, either stranger or citizen of the country, who eats leavened bread will be outlawed from the community of Israel. You will eat nothing with leaven in it; wherever you live, you will eat unleavened bread."'

Exodus 12:29

The tenth plague: death of the first-born

And at midnight Yahweh struck down all the first-born in Egypt from the first-born of Pharaoh, heir to his throne, to the first-born of the prisoner in the dungeon, and the first-born of all the livestock.

Messenger: Today is the 14th.  Following 12:00 midnight is January 15.   This is Fr. Carter’s birthday.

Jesus said this day was important.

The vision of Lucia was 1929, the year he was born.

Our mission in the Shepherds of Christ is to help tell all about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

We unite to the Mass at every moment as we offer our lives to God as a sacrifice.

This means doing what God wills in our lives and offering it united to the Mass in love to God.

January 14, 2000 - Third Message

Dear Jesus,

I adore You and love You so much. I want to stay with You like this forever. I never want to not have the presence I feel now.

Oh, Jesus, this is my goal, to be ever closer to You, to make the most of the these moments of intense oneness with You after the reception of the Eucharist.

Oh my Bridegroom, I feel consumed with love for You and for all. I want this elevated state of oneness with You.

I see my sins, my shortcomings, my inability to be patient when others may be anxious and hurting. I see my self-focus and inability to be self-giving at those moments when love needs to understand and be Christ to them.

Oh God, I have so far to go to be like You and yet the love and joy within my heart swells to be possessed by You, to receive You as I do now, to have You and love others.

I long for the time when we will all live in harmonious love, realizing our love relationship as God’s family, all of us living to love God and serve You as handmaids of the Lord.

Lord, teach me to be a better bride to You, to please You. Help all those I have hurt consciously and unconsciously, please give them grace and Your mercy. Lead them closer to Yourself despite anything I did that may have driven them away from You because of my imperfections.

Please, I want to make reparation for my sins and beg God’s mercy on me and the whole earth.

Oh Jesus, in these moments when You are in me in Your Eucharistic presence, I have an unquenchable thirst to love You and others more deeply during every moment of my life, and yet the little irritations and problems cause me to handle some problems without love.

Oh God, grant me peace and patient love so deep inside me, for You and others. Help me to act like You always from today until the end of my life, to be your instrument in the world, loving as You live in me and love through me.

I want to be an empty vessel, filled with love. Help me handle problems the way you would will me to do, in prudence and in love.

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do you feel we can more fully focus on God and His will for us?
