Jesus speaks: My children,
I wish prayer groups to begin around the world and to pray at 6:30 p.m. before the
tabernacle, in homes, where people gather in groups with friends or family. I wish these
groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ Prayers
(Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) at 6:30 p.m., asking the Holy Spirit to come to
the earth in a special way, and praying for the Shepherds of Christ intentions.
You are to begin praying:
Dear Father in the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful
intercession of the Virgin Mary, with all the angels and the saints and the souls in
purgatory, we join in one mind and one heart and ask the Holy Spirit to come to all the
world in a special way, especially to our priests. We pray all prayers for the priests and
the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the
precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the
Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be
spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Church and the world. We beg for grace
and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We
give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven
for offending one another. We love You God, help us.
Sing the Song from Jesus. (Songs from Jesus audio)
Then begin the prayers of the Good Shepherd (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).
Then I ask you to sing the Rosary Song (Songs from Jesus audio) and begin the rosary. I wish if possible that you use the Rosary Books and the Rosary Aves, but the important thing is to pray the prayers and the rosary at 6:30 p.m., if possible.
I ask that Junior Shepherds of Christ prayer groups be begun all over the world.
This is a message from the Good Shepherd to the earth on October 17, 1998. It is the wish of your Mother that you join in prayer as I have stated.
When you join in Our Hearts this way, We will be with you in a special way. Please use candles and dim the room if possible. Have pictures of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and/or statues before you.
Consecrate all homes and prayer places, churches and schools to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I love you, Jesus
Mary speaks: Oh my little children please pray. I am Mary your Mother.
Messenger: My dear friends,
I truly suffer for lack of oneness. I feel my heart hurts. I want that heavenly oneness in
which I am absorbed in the oneness of God. Having gone into such states of ecstasy in the
Mass, I can hardly stand the lack of oneness I feel so much of the time. It is as though
my heart yearns and begs and wants Him. I want the greatest depth of union I can
experience in Him. Fridays are days that I experience tremendous suffering. I cannot put
into words the feelings of separation I feel, compared to such states of profound
existence in Him I have experienced at Mass.
I write to you today as He bids me to write. I see the deep struggle within myself in trying to live only for Him and to be absorbed in dwelling in Him and in being permeated by His life. I do not even have the ability to describe that which I know in my heart, words cease to explain it. Only His grace granted to me and to you will help this information to be communicated here.
This is what I wish to say plainly. I wish for that time when I will be truly united in the depth of union with Him. Having experienced this great union in ecstasies, my heart cries, cries for this oneness. It is this oneness He wants in His Church and in the world, life so deeply rooted in Him. He wants us to experience the depth of union with Him, especially in the Mass and with Him after Communion and before the tabernacle when He is truly present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
I wish it to be made clear here that there is a definite difference between God being everywhere and in a special way in every person in the state of grace and God being present in the Consecrated Host.
Christ is as present in the Consecrated Host as the day He walked the earth. He is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Consecrated Host. Jesus, God, lives in us in a special way when we are in the state of grace, but His presence in the Eucharist is no less than when He was on earth. He outpours His grace immensely in front of the tabernacle and in the Mass because of the Real Presence. The doctor may be very helpful for a troubled soul, but in going to the tabernacle and being with the Son of God, we receive special grace from Him. This great grace outpoured helps us more and more to resist temptation.
We need to open little chapels in which people can go and be with Jesus in the Eucharist twenty four hours a day. It is in going to Him in the Eucharist He implants on our soul knowledge of Himself and gives us grace that helps us in our lives, if we are willing, and open in our hearts to Him.
Oh it is truly a struggle with our tainted human natures to be like Him. Anyone knows who has tried more and more to walk in His path that we fall time and time again. In this struggle we realize our complete dependence upon Him and His grace. There will not be room for the haughty and proud hearts in heaven. We are all the children of Eve, dependent so much on our God. It amazes me that, despite my faults, He still loves me so much and wants to come to me in such close union. It is because of the ability to give myself to Mary and her Immaculate Heart I can go to Him when I have sinned venially and tell Him I am sorry and still be close to Him. The tainted child of Eve can go through the pure and Immaculate Heart of the New Eve and be so one with the divine, all holy God.
Jesus speaks: The devil is becoming stronger every day with a tailor-made plan for you to trip you up, My chosen ones. You must die more and more to self and realize your complete dependence on Me. Do not underestimate the plot of the evil one to uproot the holy soul. You must learn to not argue and settle problems before Mass and prayers. Many times you must curb your tongues in order to get to the altar and participate in a most united way in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Great grace is released there for all your needs and those of the Church and the world. You are in a fierce battle and Satan wants you to give up. You will be tested as never before. You must realize your faults and your imperfections. When you fall you must get up and pray. You must not let Satan stop you from trying, even when you want to give up. I am allowing you to be tested and in this testing you are growing more in your ways of holiness. You must be humble and not haughty in heart. You must say to one another when in trouble, "Help me, I need your help to be one with you." Hold hands and pray fiercely for unity. Ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on you and cast the devil into hell, pray the speedy novena and use holy water. You are in battle. You are fighting the evil serpent, the devil. Oh My children, it will get worse, especially when you are trying so hard to do as I ask you. You must not give up. You must love one another. Do not expect the other to be perfect, you must forgive and love. I hung on the cross and loved those who put Me there. Can you say the same concerning your persecutors? Oh children, I do love you, to My death on the cross I loved you. Listen to Me. Love is tough. Many times it is not easy to put aside the ways of willfulness. I will bless you when you struggle and choose love. Be loving to one another amidst burdens, but do not sacrifice truth and right. Love the sinner, but hate the sin. Do not be judgmental, beg for grace from God. Oh my children, meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, you will receive grace to live holy lives. You will learn more and more to model your lives after My life and the life of your Mother. Oh children I love you so, so much.
