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.
Jesus speaks: The struggle with authority is a life long struggle.
From an early age, you are taught about authority.
All of those little messages are tucked into the person.
A baby can be loved by those in authority as God wills.
A baby can be beaten.
A baby must be kept from danger.
Babies cannot be permitted to pick up little things that could harm them and put them in their mouths.
A baby is taught boundaries.
A toddler is taught about steps and sidewalks and streets.
Just as a baby is taught about relationships and people, they should be taught about God.
From the beginning they should be taught about relating to God.
During your whole life, you have this long struggle to relate (in love), to live under authority.
How you were taught to deal with authority as an infant affects your whole life.
I give you the Holy Family.
You are the family of the Father.
Mary is your spiritual Mother.
God the Father, your spiritual Father.
You interact with those people in your lives as a family.
You must interact as people in the Father's family.
You see the leaves and the sunny days of summer, you know the seasons of the year.
You do not see the sign of the times in your lives.
The end could lurk around a crowded corner.
A busy woman, you say, one on the corner of town at lunch hour waiting to get to her office and fax so many orders, run her computer, talk on the cell phone on the way, and oh, isn't it important she runs so quickly and then a bus turns the corner and she is struck down. The faxes are never sent, the phone calls never made, the computer work is not accomplished. it has been said, "No one comes back to finish the tube of toothpaste when they are struck down forever." and how many arguments were had over putting on the lid and really who cares in the end.
What does she take with her, for even her body lies in the street. The pretty dress, the well combed hair, all lay in the street, a bloody mess, a body that dies at the impact.
Oh, My scared children, I try to tell you the Divine Reaper will come, and you do not hear.
I wish to speak of power and authority.
Power comes from Me. A beginning, an end. A life given to you. Your time on earth so short.
You will struggle with authority your life long.
Some people are "uptight" their whole lives because of how they were taught to be with authority as children.
They react to others in adverse ways, and the one in authority only did something to trigger their reactions. The person has a pocket full of reactions that can be triggered in a second and can lead them to react adversely.
Some don't even know they are so aware of authority and in fear of it that they clench their teeth and their minds are always focused on the one in authority over them. They live in this old mind slot of pleasing an arrogant, demanding dad and transfer their childhood fears and ways of relating with someone in authority to every person placed in authority over them.
They stay locked in this trap set by an angry dad. They remain little, dependent and fearful. They try to please the person in authority as a little child, at times they become resentful of them, at times they can hate the person, bringing up old hidden feelings of all the years they were held captive in this terrible way.
Little children grow up and many carry a suitcase of problems on their backs. They transfer things onto others because they haven't dealt with them.
I ask you to write to Me about your dad. I ask you to feel the feelings as a child, fear, joy, love, lack of love, lack of acceptance. I ask you to see him there as if he comes back and is in the chair with you or sitting across from you. I ask you to do this alone or before the tabernacle, if no one is in there with you, but you need absolute privacy and a long period of time. I ask you to feel the feelings and to write to Me about it. I am with you. Know I am with you. See Me there with you with My brown hair, My beard, My gentle loving face. Look at the Blue Book Jesus, the one in the front of the Blue Books. Feel My Presence, and that I am taking your part, helping you remember, loving you and you can tell your dad anything, everything. If you feel moved, write a letter to your dad first and tell him everything. It must end with a letter to Me where you can freely say everything in your heart. Take time to do this. At the end beg for the grace to forgive him. Pray for this everyday. Let's work with your dad. If there was great love there, you can remember the love and connect it to the great love God the Father has for you. I am love. My Father loved you so much He gave His only Son.
Message of February 23, 1997
(Apostles Manual, pp. 250-252)
SacrificeMessenger: When I go to Mass I offer a sacrifice. God wants our all. He wants to be first in our life. He asked Abraham to sacrifice his son.
Gen. 22:1-2, 9-13, 15-18:
It happened some time later that God put Abraham to the test. "Abraham, Abraham!" he called. "Here I am," he replied. God said, "Take your son, your only son, your beloved Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, where you are to offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I shall point out to you.
When they arrived at the place which God had indicated to him, Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood. Then he bound his son and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.
But the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven. "Abraham, Abraham!" he said. "Here I am," he replied. Do not raise your hand against the boy," the angel said. "Do not harm him, for now I know you fear God. You have not refused me your own beloved son." Then looking up, Abraham saw a ram caught by its horns in a bush. Abraham took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
The angel of Yahweh called Abraham a second time from heaven. "I swear by my own self, Yahweh declares, that because you have done this, because you have not refused me your own beloved son, I will shower blessings on you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will gain possession of the gates of their enemies. All nations on earth will bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed my command.
The Father gave His Son for us. This is how great the Father's love is for us.
When we go to the altar many times we are suffering. We want something really bad, but we know we love God the most. What the Father asks for us is to offer that which we are so attached to as a sacrifice, united to the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. If we offer this sacrifice to Him, the Father will pour out blessings that will be divine blessings, greater than anything we could have here on earth.
The Mass is the perfect sacrifice we offer to the Father, in which God pours out His blessings and we are one with Him and with all others in a profound expression of love. God shares His divine love with us and we partake in an intense way in His divine loving capacity. In order to become one in Him and to feel His love like this, we must surrender ourselves and be open.
He told Abraham to offer his son. God gave him his son back. He wanted Abraham to love God above all things and people.
Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice to the Father. This is the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father. If He gave His Son Who died for love of us, will He deny us when we unite our petitions with Jesus and offer these at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?
He took them to the highest mountain and He was transfigured before them in the greatest light.
Mark 9:2-10:
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, "Rabbi," he said, "it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him." Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what 'rising from the dead' could mean.
We go to the altar of sacrifice. The mountain to come, in which so many graces will flow, is the altar of sacrifice where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered through the hands of consecrated priests.
We hear the Father say, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, listen to Him." He is speaking to us. He is the Word. He is speaking in these messages. He is unveiling the Scriptures and speaking to us in plain talk. This is a great gift He is giving to us.
We are transformed in the Mass. We unite with the greatest sacrifice offered in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We have the most perfect sacrifice to offer to the Father when we offer this sacrifice. He gives us great blessings. We die to ourselves, we become white.
We must unite all of our sacrifices to this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being said all over the world. This is the greatest way to magnify all of our offerings - by uniting everything we do as an offering, a sacrifice to the Father in union with His Son.
Jesus speaks: My Father is the most loving Father. He is loving you at this moment. I want you to experience His love. Know His love. Feel His loving protection. He created you and filled you with talents.
Use Your Talents (excerpt)
October 3, 1993 Chicago Marian Conference 11:30a.m.
I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly. Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents.
Do your own work. Don't be envious of your brothers. Don't hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother's work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it.
Do not hide your talents. Praise your God Who gave you these talents. Embrace and use them. This is not pride. This is My plan. I love you. I give to each of you, My precious children, as a mother who buys special Christmas gifts for each child. To buy gifts all the same for all your children is not to respect their specialness, their individuality.
Oh, I love you, little ones, so much. Please come to Me. I am so good and I wait to be with you and share My love with you. Come now. This is your top priority. All else will work when you come to Me first. I love you. You are My chosen children. Come and be filled and I make your loads light and I fill you with the Spirit of Salvation.
All roads that lead to Me are the right roads. Praise Me for I am good and I love you, little dear ones.
Jesus speaks: I wish you to do this exercise as much as is needed until you are forgiving your dad if need be, and you have developed a greater relationship with your most loving Father.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. * Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
October 31, 1999 - Nursing Home Message - Second Message
Jesus speaks: My dear sweet ones,
I want you to see your heavenly Father.
He created you so beautiful. He gave you talents. All this time He has been with you. He is the most loving Father. He gave Me, Jesus, as a sacrifice for you. Do you know how hard it would be to give your son as a sacrifice for someone? The heavenly Father gave Me as a sacrifice for your sins and the sins of all men so you could be with Me forever in heaven.
November 9, 1993 - 4:45a.m.
My dear child, you must turn yourself over entirely to Me. Oh, child, I am your Savior. Do not ever doubt Me. Always count on My being present to you. The days go by with such rapidness, you will soon be with Me forever in heaven.
Everyone only sees each moment as it is occurring now. There is an end to all of this and your reward waits for you. It seems hard to think of this as ever ending, but time is so short, little one. Soon all this will be over.
Fight a good fight for Me. You need to help all you can to know of Me. Keep remembering that these days will not go on forever, that this life is so short compared to all eternity.
Some day you will truly be with Me in heaven. Your life is so short compared to eternity. Here today, gone tomorrow. All that remains is how you choose to live, for God or against God!
You are responsible for all your time and your actions and how you live in service of Me. It sounds simple but people alive on earth in sin cannot see anything else but what they are doing now. Satan blinds you into thinking this life will go on and on when, in fact, it is so short compared to eternity, just a short while. It is so easy to see. Why do you get so caught up in this life here? It is so short. The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, and your life is over and eternity awaits. Do these short moments mean so much to you?
Listen to Me, little one. Time is so short. My light is at hand. My time is so precious because it determines your eternal life. So short, indeed. Heed My word and listen to My voice. What you do, how you act, are so small when compared to eternity! This is no laughing matter. It is your soul that is at stake. It is your life forever and ever. Is a few years of life, holding on to such insignificant "stuff" worth all eternity? My life for you is so simple. Love God, love one another. Put Me first and all falls into line! So simple, but so hard for so many precious little ones. I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter of My law will pass away.
Here today, gone tomorrow, and I am your God. Come to me and all will be brought to light! He made the crooked ways straight and He nourished their souls. Listen. You do not know the glories that await him who serves the Lord. Hold tight to Me, little one. Hold tight to Me and receive a divine reward forever. May My name be exalted in heaven and on earth. The trumpet blares and the Lord ascends His throne. All know His glory. Their lives were not in vain who served Him while in their lives. Their rewards are as golden gems whose splendor no one can comprehend.
Heaven and earth may vanish like smoke, but your deeds will not be forgotten. Store up treasures in the life hereafter by doing good works. Keep your eyes on your Father in heaven, Who waits and loves you so. All will be made open in the end and your life will be spent in the hereafter. What a reward for such a short test!
Messenger: Oh, Jesus, praise to You from the heights. You are so good and loving. We trust in You and Your mercy. Alleluia. Alleluia.
Jesus speaks: I love you so much, your heavenly Father is with you now. He is fathering you. He is always with you. Do not be afraid. Be His little child.
You can be with Me now. Tell God you are sorry for all your sins. Go to Confession if possible and pray now. Offer your life as a sacrifice for others. Offer your life for the Church, the priests and the world.
What you do today can help so many souls.
I will forgive you for everything you did if you ask Me.
Catholics with mortal sins should go to Confession to be forgiven through the Sacrament, but in your heart now ask for forgiveness.
I want you with Me for all eternity. I love you so much. You must pray and do sacrifices by offering up your day to Me.
Pray all day for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
Morning Offering My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit.I unite with our Mother Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart.I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart.Imprimatur: Most Reverend Daniel E. Pilarczyk
Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati
January 22,1997
Jesus speaks: Pray for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I love you, Jesus. I am with you.
Messenger: When visiting a nursing home this is a plan you can follow to pray a little part of the rosary with the elderly or sick residents.
What is usually done and tolerated by the elderly folks is one Our Father, five Hail Mary's and another Our Father. The song, A Song from Jesus, can be sung before and after these prayers.
It is desirable to have a big picture of The Birth of Jesus when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
The Birth of Jesus
