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: Please pray for 5 urgent intentions!

Messenger: WE URGENTLY NEED FUNDS TO PUT OUT THE NEXT NEWSLETTER, PRAY FOR THIS AND FOR THE NEWSLETTER AND ALL INVOLVED.

Messenger: Our Lord has asked us to pray for a special priest and three other special priests and His designated priests.

                      Please pray for the priestly newsletter and for the intentions on the prayer list at the end of the message.

Messenger: Pray for Tom and the boys on retreat Thursday and Friday and all others involved.

Messenger: He wrapped me in His arms and He took me to Himself. I saw myself dressed as His bride and He gave to me a rose. I saw the white — the Divine Bridegroom — His banquet — all the angels and saints. I saw Don Bosco — the vision of the church filled with such love for God united to the Savior as brides of Christ.

Every soul there was so connected to Him. The souls so united to the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. We are so one. It is oneness He wants. The prayer before His bitter Passion is for oneness.

John 17: 20-26

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.

Messenger: Oh if only I could write what I feel at His Holy Mass and write about the unity I feel. If only I could write about the oneness I know between heaven and earth and the vision of Christ, the royal Bridegroom Who mounts His throne in such splendor.

It is a banquet indeed and all heaven and earth unite and the Divine Bridegroom gives Himself to us. The Sacrifice, the gift is the Son of God, the Lamb of God and we are the spouse of the Lamb. It seems almost impossible to write about the Mass and yet Jesus says "write". 

Jesus speaks: I give you Myself as your Groom. I give you My Body, I give you My Blood and you come in your white dress and I clothe you with My love. You know more the gift given to you from the Father. You share deeper in My life. I shower you with grace. I clothe you in My mantle of love. I am the gallant One. I am the most perfect Bridegroom. And you wait anxiously to be with Me in the deepest union, forever, for all eternity in the courts of heaven.

Oh sweet one, I have lavishly given My love to you because I love you so much and yet I see your heart of fear and turmoil. I see your heart filled with insecurities.

My child, focus on this vision of the royal banquet. See the throne of God. Feel the depth of emotion in your heart as you cry out to your God with love on fire for Him.

I like you to be consumed with love for Me. I want you to shout it out to Me, "Oh God I love Thee so much!" I want you to pant to come to My altar and receive the Son of God.

It  is a wedding that takes place here, it is the marriage of our souls, and every time you come and receive Me I take you into a deeper love union with Me.

Messenger: And I cannot even write about the depth of union I experience in the Mass. How do you write about the mixing of the water and the wine, when you see the sharing of yourself so deeply with the Divine God and experience such emotion inside. It is power, it is love, it is oneness, it is magnificence, it is the outpouring of His grace I experience when He fills me. I don't know what to write — it is God.

So powerful it is to be at Mass in the morning, so powerful indeed. I am the bride and He is the most gallant Bridegroom — He is the Son of God and He gives Himself to me.

I went to Iowa and I heard a woman say,
    "I just want my children to go to heaven."
and I saw Mary, her cheeks covered with tears
    and I saw her as she appeared to me daily,    
    a sorrowful Mother and I saw her 
    crying out,

    "I want my children to go to heaven."

Why does Mary appear in Florida? She appears to tell us,
    "I want my children to go to heaven."

And should this not be the cry of every priest and every person
    in the Church, "I want the souls to go to heaven."?
Since the Church is Mother, shouldn't we as members of the Church cry out, 

    "I want the children to go to heaven."?

This is the mission of all of us. We should cry with Mary.    
We should cry as members of the Church — 
    "I  want the children to go to heaven."

Feel that emotion in your heart, the emotion of the 
    mother that loves her children so deeply, feel the 
    emotion of the mother that knows her alcoholic 
    adult son is hurting so much, feel the emotion 
    of the mother that watches a young child of 16 go off being 
    consumed by the world. Feel the emotion of a mother that 
    has experienced the death of her son because of a drug overdose. 
    Feel the emotion and cry out with them.

    "I want my children to go to heaven."?

Now as members of the Church, identify with Mary and 
    hear her cry out for her children — 
    "I want my children to go to heaven."

It is our role as members of His body to help lead
    the children of God to heaven.
So He says to us on that last day — 
    "Where are your children?" and you
    answer — "Here are the ones I helped to get to Thee."

God, help us to mother the children of God, as members 
    of the Church, we must mother Mary's children by
    praying for them.

The Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.
We lay down our lives daily in the Morning Offering
    for the sheep.

We give our lives as a sacrifice offering up all 
    we do united to the Mass.

We are the spouse of the Lamb.

We pray for the children.

If I can understand how much a mother loves
    her children, I can understand a little
    more how Mary loves her children.

I should pray for grace to understand how
    we must help lead souls to God.
So when we get to heaven we can hear,
    "Where are your children?"
And we reply — "Here they are God."

Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

(End of Mary's Message)

         

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.
