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: Here is a  homily given by Father Carter last February 18, 2000, in China, Indiana.

He loved the Mass of the Sacred Heart and he loved this reading from John.

Jesus loves the time between 12:00 and 3:00 p.m. on Friday. He asked Father Carter to say Mass in China, Indiana, on Fridays and that the Eucharist be exposed there until 3:00 p.m.

Father Carter delivered this talk. It will soon be available on audio cassette and on the Mary help line and on the Internet, here.

Suffering leads to greater life. When others are gone we are sorry so many times we did not enjoy the gifts of that day and all that God gave us.

Let us thank God for what we have today. Celebrate life. God has given us the people in our lives today to love.

If we are always irritable and finding something wrong we can miss the gifts God gives to us today.

I wish I could attend a Mass in China, Indiana, with Fr. Carter, but he is united with us in all the Masses that are celebrated.

Last Friday, Father Mike celebrated Mass in China, Indiana, and he celebrated the Masses in Florida. The day he did celebrate the Mass in Florida on January 5th Mary turned rainbow gold on the pictures that evening during the rosary. These are 2 pictures we took.

Messenger: Today we must recognize the gifts God gives us. We must attend every Mass and pray for grace for the world.

We must be so connected in the Mass to heaven. In every Mass we unite with all the angels and all the saints and we pray through their powerful intercession.

God gives us so many gifts every day, so many people to love, with regard to Father Carter who has passed on we unite with him every moment of the day and pray through his powerful intercession. Our hearts are merged.

Jesus speaks: My children, love one another. What good does it do you to try to talk about love to the rest of the world and be nasty?

Messenger: This is a message Jesus gave us.

Excerpt from October 14, 2000 Daily Message

Jesus speaks: Why do all the work and then be nasty? Do the work and don't complain, thank Me that I called you to work!! I know you are weary. I was weary on the way to the cross. I did it for souls. You are doing good work. Praise your Father in heaven.

I love you,
Jesus

(End of excerpt from October 14, 2000 message)

Jesus speaks: Satan wants you to feel cheated, to complain, to feel you are working too hard.

Celebrate life! Tomorrow your dear friend that you love may be gone.
I give you people to love today.                      

Love and trust one another. Bear with each other's imperfections. Help each other by giving love to them. Many times you  bicker over so many things and create a case against your brother. Pray for grace to be as God wants you to be. Read the Blue
Books. I direct you to greater love and holiness. I give you these letters of love to help you live.                       

I answer your prayers. Please pray to Me.

I love you,
Jesus

You cannot live the moments of this day again, tomorrow when you go to bed they are gone forever.

John 19: 31-37
The pierced Christ

   "They will look to the one whom they have pierced," (John 19: 37),words which end today's Gospel. As we so well know, Christ shows us His Heart as a symbol of His love in all its aspects. And notice that that symbol of love, of the overwhelming life of Jesus' love, that that symbol which is His Heart is a pierced Heart, telling us that here below love has to be, among other ways, expressed through suffering. There is no other way. Jesus is the great example of this, that He loved to the end in a way which actually broke His Heart, speaking spiritually, and in a way which allowed His Heart to be pierced with a lance, talking about the spiritual piercing of Jesus' Heart. And this is a lesson which the world does not like to hear, that true love has to be mixed with suffering here below, it has to be shown, not only during times of happiness and pleasure and joy, but in a special way also in times of suffering. We who follow Jesus must learn that lesson. There are all sorts of ways we suffer, are there not? We suffer rejection in various ways. We suffer failure in various ways. We suffer loneliness. We suffer from shattered dreams, and as we look at those shattered dreams, at the bottom of our feet, those dreams which have become now ashes, we have to learn how to rise from the ashes of shattered dreams, embracing the Father's will and go on and dream again according to His will. Jesus' Heart is not only a pierced Heart, showing us that love must be coupled with suffering here below, but it is also now a glorified Heart. That piercing of Jesus' Heart, that wound in His Heart is now glorified as it shares in the glory of the Resurrection. And so the pierced glorified Heart of Jesus tells us not only of His life of love, not only the fact that He showed His love for us in so many ways through suffering, but that pierced Heart which is now glorified tells us that suffering is not an end in itself. It is meant to lead to resurrection, to greater life here and in eternity. And so, let us always keep this in mind. Let us not close in on suffering and make it an end in itself, but as a means to greater life for ourselves and for others as we help channel Jesus' life to the whole world. And so that Heart, that pierced Heart which is now glorified, it tells us so, so many things, does it not? It tells us of His love. It tells us that He expressed that love in so many ways through suffering as well as through joy. It also tells us that suffering is not an end in itself, it is meant to be life giving. This is a great tragedy, I think, about human suffering, that so much of it seems to be wasted. Because it's not embraced according to the Father's will, it does not become life giving for the person suffering. That is the tragedy of human suffering. It's not the suffering in itself, it's the fact that so much of it seems to be wasted. And so let us ask Jesus as He shows us His pierced, glorified Heart, let us ask Him not to allow us to waste suffering. Let us ask Him to allow us to embrace the cross with the greatest love so that we grow in life, and that we become greater instruments to help channel this life to others. Jesus, we love You. We thank You for showing us Your pierced, glorified Heart. Yes, pierced, glorified, Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in You.

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.

Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary.

Note: The above section can be printed out from a PDF file, and you can pray the rosary looking at the pictures.
