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: Our Lord asks all that can to come to The Virgin Mary Building in Clearwater, Florida, on February 5th, to please be present for the opening of the Rosary Factory.


Descent of the Holy Spirit Stained Glass Window

January 30, 2000 - Super Bowl Sunday - A Message from Heaven

Mary speaks: I was there my children on that Pentecost. The Holy Spirit descended upon me and the Apostles. The fire burned in their hearts, the desire to go forth and spread the Good News was in their hearts.

They were men being sent by the Holy Spirit.

My children, the Holy Spirit works within my Immaculate Heart bringing forth the Christ-life in you.

My Son comes to set His bride on fire with the fire of His love, enkindled by the Holy Spirit.

Oh, my children, love is not a burden, it propels, it sends its children into action, the desire to love is a propelling action from the heart, there is energy, life and beauty.

My children, I am the Mother of the Church. I was made Mother of the Church by God. The role of the Church is to bring forth fruit, to bring forth children for the Kingdom.

You persist in your ways of operating.

My Son has come and I have come in Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to set your hearts on fire with the love of God.

Oh, my men, you do not understand the ways of your hearts. You do not experience the bridal union with my Son, Head of the Church.

You pray with your lips, you think with your heads, you reason with your logical ways and you do not let go to experience the burning love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit when They possess your souls.

Oh men, oh men, oh men. I am Mary, Mother of the Church, my Heart is that of a Woman. My Son is the Divine Bridegroom. He comes to claim His bride. He wants her docile, young in heart, like a child, but mature in her conviction of wanting only God's will. He wants a spouse to bring forth children in His Church. He wants the children to be nurtured as the olive plants around the table in a love-like mode of father, mother, son, daughter, children, a family around the heavenly banquet table where the Sacrifice offered is the gift of His Divine Son, the most pleasing sacrifice to Him.

Oh, my children, I come to serve my Son. My children, I am the handmaid of the Lord.

My children, my Son writes His letters in His Blue Books to His beloved spouse. He wants a feeling heart, He wants an active heart, He wants a bride that goes to the altar to receive Him, not with a watch and an agenda, but with a white dress, a heart of anticipation. A wedding of the spouse to the Lamb.

The heart throbs, the stage is set, the anticipation of a human heart uniting in the deepest union with the Divine God and the feeling so deep within for the love of souls, that the bride cries for the children of the earth: Oh, Maker of all, Oh God of heaven, Oh My Papa, come and save us from this snare of Satan's lair. Outpour Your grace upon the children.

Messenger: There is the blood of the young being slaughtered. My Papa cries out to You. Oh my God, how precious to You is the little soul. Oh, my God, spare us, hear the humble prayers of the children of the body of Christ, Oh my Papa, I come to the Immaculate Heart of my Mother, I come in the purity of the Heart of Your Son, Jesus. He is the Victim, the Sacrifice, the Offering. My Father, I speak to You, I see the mixing of the water and wine, I know more fully the great gift of God coming to me. I see the moment of Consecration. My Papa, it is a love affair between me and my Divine God and in that moment of Consecration, my heart bleeds for the children as I beg as an intercessor united to my Divine Bridegroom for the souls of the earth.

Mary speaks: I stand by the altar in Lucia's vision as the most perfect spouse of the Lamb.

Your union is so one with your God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Oh, my child, from your pleading a child's prayer, the Father opens the gates of heaven and showers grace and mercy on the thirsty earth below.

Mary speaks: My child, it is a love affair. The violins sing, the children raise their hearts in song and the heavens rain down grace on the thirsty earth below.

A setting, a place, heaven touches earth in the hearts of the faithful as they plead as a body, as the body of Christ united to Jesus in the Mass, coming in Our pure and holy Hearts.

Oh child, it is a symphony that only heaven can play.

Oh my child, it is a spousal union.

Oh my child, Father, Son and Holy Spirit unite in this action and the production is that of impact on this earth.

I am a Woman, I nurture my young, I come with a feeling Heart. The violins play, the stage is set, the moment is that of endless time. It is not controlled, the focus is union in Him.

In a marriage, God gives male and female to each other.

In the Church, there are holy priests and I am their Mother.

My Heart is the Heart of a Woman, a Mother.

In a marriage, the woman is to have the babies, to love them, to feed them with her breasts and her milk.

In my Son's Church, the Lamb is the Sacrifice. He gives Himself as the most perfect Bridegroom to the hungry soul. There is a marriage.

Children receive the gift of God's grace.

I stand by the cross and I cry for my babies in this world. I cry because I want them to receive the milk of salvation.

Oh, my men, I give you the rosary. I am your spiritual Mother. If you are to advance in the spiritual life to a deeper union with God where you exist in such oneness with God, you must do as I say and pray the rosary, meditating on the mysteries of Our lives.

Think of a home where the mother has died and the father raises the children.

If the children are very young, you say, "Oh, they have no mother."

The hearts of men and women have been made different by the Almighty God. They were not created physically the same either.

The role of the woman is to be one who carries the babies inside her body and feeds them with her breasts.

The more the Church goes through My Immaculate Heart, the more they will be brought forth as children of light as the Holy Spirit works in them.

The connection must be there. Men are to be one with my Heart.

My Heart is tender and feeling as a Mother, one that nurtures, one that cares, one that smoothes over the ruffled spirits and takes the time to bring in the roses and the violins to play at the symphony.

One that spreads the table with white linen and cares for the temperature in the room for the little babies, one that comes to light a fire in the furnace so that a golden glow will be cast on all who enter there.

I am a female and a Mother.


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


Mary speaks: And so for all time let it be known my children, my men and women:

He comes to set the captives free.
You do not know it all.
It must be done His way.
It is a family.--


Matthew 12:46-50

The true kinsfolk of Jesus.

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'


Hebrews 10:5-10

and that is why he said, on coming into the world:

You wanted no sacrifice or cereal offering,
but you gave me a body.
You took no pleasure in burnt offering'
   or sacrifice for sin;
then I said, 'Here I am, I am coming,'
in the scroll of the book it is written of me,
to do your will, God.

He says first You did not want what the Law lays down as the things to be offered, that is: the sacrifices, the cereal offerings, the burnt offerings and the sacrifices for sin, and you took no pleasure in them; and then he says: Here I am! I am coming to do your will. He is abolishing the first sort to establish the second. And this will was for us to be made holy by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ made once and for all.


Isaiah 62: 1-5

The splendour of Jerusalem

About Zion I will not be silent,
about Jerusalem I shall not rest
until saving justice dawns for her
   like a bright light
and her salvation like a blazing torch.
The nations will then see
   your saving justice,
and all kings your glory,
and you will be called a new name
which Yahweh's mouth will reveal.
You will be a crown of splendour
   in Yahweh's hand,
a princely diadem in the hand of your God.
No more will you be known as 'Forsaken'
or your country be known as 'Desolation';
instead, you will be called
   'My Delight is in her'
and your country 'The Wedded';
for Yahweh will take delight in you
and your country will have its wedding.
Like a young man marrying a virgin,
your rebuilder will wed you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride,
so will your God rejoice in you.


Ecclesiasticus 3:2-6

Duties towards parents

for the Lord honours the father above his children
   and upholds the rights of a mother over her sons.
Whoever respects a father expiates sins,
   whoever honours a mother is like someone amassing a fortune.
Whoever respects a father will in turn be happy with children,
   the day he prays for help, he will be heard.
Long life comes to anyone who honours a father,
   whoever obeys the Lord makes a mother happy.


Luke 1:38

Mary said, 'You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said.' And the angel left her.


Matthew 1:23

Look! the virgin is with child
   and will give birth to a son
whom they will call Immanuel,

a name which means 'God-is with- us'.


Isaiah 7:14

The Lord will give you a sign in any case:
It is this: the young woman is with child
and will give birth to a son
whom she will call Immanuel.


God the Father speaks: My children,

I chose the Virgin Mary to be the Mother of all. She is your Mother, a Woman, one from whom the Christ-Child was born. By My will this has been done. So why do you not see the importance of the Woman, your Mother, in her great role of mothering the Church, the body of Christ?

You are to teach My people to be espoused. You are to teach them to be brides. You are to teach them of their spousal union with God.

You are to bring forth fruit for the Kingdom, living stones.

My sons, your Church is bleeding. Many of you have taken away the Mother's role from your hearts.

You must, My little children, return as children of God, your hearts must be simple and loving, quieted and less controlled by your machines and your time.

The violins will play a song of love and the children will bow before the throne of God in humble adoration.

The saints and angels declare a day of the Lord. They whisper in the ears of the men on the earth, but your noise, My men, and your attachment to worldly pleasure have deadened your hearing and your hearts have turned cold and self-focused.

The family life is cold, the discussion is about men of fame and games of victory made of sports and what have you.

My men, the game to be played is the game of the Savior.

A Child is born of a Woman to set the captives free. Until you return to the word of God, the Scriptures, you write stories that depict the history of a fallen race.

The rules are set by Me.

The victory is Mine.

The victors are the ones who dwell in the Hearts of the New Adam and the New Eve.

A Lady appears in Clearwater, Florida, and you proceed in your stiff-necked way.

She comes to bring forth children burning with the love of God in their hearts.

Priests are to approach My altar of Sacrifice, one altar erected to Me, and at that altar the cry is one from the depth of the souls of those offering sacrifice as they unite in deep consecration to their God.

Oh men, My men, My tired and silly men, you run the races that lead you to a pit, a sea of destruction, and your God weeps over the city of Jerusalem.

A wedding is to take place, it is the marriage of the Lamb to His bride. Where have they gone? On Sunday, the day of the Lord, they worship their sports and not their God.

My Son is alone in His churches, locked in as a treasure in a vault, and He comes to set the captives free and shower His beloved ones with His love.

Mary appears on the building to spread the message of the Divine Bridegroom. He calls the brides to the inner chamber of His Heart. There they will know a profound union with their God.

I love you so, My chosen children, I am your Creator, I created you for the purpose to love God with your whole heart and your whole soul and to love your neighbor as yourself.

You were created in Our image and likeness.


Genesis 1:26-27

God said, 'Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.

God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.


God the Father speaks: Your life is to be lived to grow in the more perfected ways of loving.

I ask you this question.

"What would you like to have in your most significant other?"

What do you dislike in your most significant other?"

I am the Father, the God who made you. I love you. I have the plan,

My Son reveals this to you. My daughter Mary is your Mother. She is the Queen of Peace, you must obey her. She was chosen by Me.


Isiah 9:1

The people that walked in darkness
   have seen a great light;
on the inhabitants of a country
   in shadow dark as death
      light has blazed forth.



Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel when you tell me you love me more than others in the world?
