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.

       

October 5, 2003

Messenger:         At 6:20 today we will be united praying this way.
                                Tune in the radio 
                                We are praying under the image.

                            We pray for the priests, the Church
                                and the world.

                            We pray for all the souls of the earth.

                            We beg for grace to be outpoured for
                                all the souls of the earth.

                            We want the world to be the way
                                God wants it to be.

                            We are little children of God.

                            We love God.

                            We are sorry for our sins.

                            We are sorry for the sins of this earth.

                            Complete happiness is not found in the
                                things of the earth.

                            We were made to have this deep connection
                                with God, love God and all our
                                fellow men.

  


    


   


  

  

 

 

  

October 5, 2003 message continues

Messenger:         We were made to love God and love
                                one another.

                            God the Father so loved us He gave His Son 
                                as a sacrifice.

                            God the Son died for us.

                            God the Holy Spirit loves us.

                            We are brothers in Christ.

                            Christ paid the price for our sins.

                            We are to be faithful to God.

                            There are many who are blaspheming
                                God.

                            There are many who misuse the name
                                of God.

October 5, 2003 message continues

Messenger:         God gives us so many gifts.

                            God allows us to suffer.

                            When we hurt others it can cause
                                us very much pain.

                            God intends us to love one another —
                            God intends us to help each other —
                            God wants us to do His will.

                            Some times people have suffered in
                                relationships and then they
                                blame others today for their pain.

                            Some people play games for control
                                that block the work they could
                                do and they hurt others.

                            God wants pure hearts.

                            We are all here together on this earth.

                            God wants us to love each other and
                                help each other.

                            Oh peace is found in being the way
                                God wants us to be.

                            Life is really short.  


Lucia's Vision
June 13, 1929

    Dear God,
        We want to tell You we are sorry 
            for our sins.
        We want You to outpour Your
            grace upon us.

        Please give us mercy.
        Please help us to be like
            You want us to be.

Messenger:         The families are suffering.

                                Mary appeared at Fatima —

  

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

October 13, 1917  

    I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)

   
" 'As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet - the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people. After three minutes the wonder stopped, but was resumed again a second and a third time - three times in all - within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.

Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude. 'It's the end of the world!' shrieked one woman. 'Dear God, don't let me die in my sins!' implored another. 'Holy Virgin, protect us!' cried a third. All were on their knees in terror, asking pardon for their sins. Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.

When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions.'

The above describes the great miracle which brought to conclusion the series of apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima which took place six times, from May to October 1917. The Miracle of the Sun was the sign God gave to the world in proof of the authenticity of the apparitions. The event was reported in newspapers around the world.

With one exception, Mary always appeared on the 13th of the month, above an holm oak tree in the valley named Cova da Iria. The only deviation from the 13th was the August 19. The children were in jail on the 13th of that particular month. The mayor, in an attempt to stop the events, had had the young visionaries kidnapped and imprisoned, but fearing violence on the part of the people, he soon released them."

October 5, 2003 message continues

Messenger:         Mary, our Mother, tells us we must

                                pray the rosary.

                            The rosary is the children's prayer.

    

    

October 5, 2003 message continues

Messenger:         Mary told us to have these rosaries available
                                and to look at Mary on the
                                medal and give this message
                                with the rosary.

    

        From January 6, 2000

Mary speaks: My dear little ones,

See my face looking down upon you as a mother gazing into the little eyes of the infant she loves. ALWAYS see me looking upon you and caring for you spiritually. I am the most loving Mother. I love you so much. Look into my face. I am forever guarding you, I am with you leading you to my Son, Jesus. Give your heart to me and to my Son, Jesus. Say, "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."

I am Mary, your Mother.

    

October 5, 2003 message continues

Messenger:         We are so concerned with so many details,
                                many times.

                            Life is difficult some times, but we
                                must keep our focus on God.

                            That is the answer.

Mary speaks:     People that are living in sin —
                                do not want to let go many
                                times.

                            God is a just God.

                            He gives you the commandments to
                                help you.

    

The Ten Commandments
 

  1.   I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.

  2.   You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.

  3.   Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

  4.   Honor your father and your mother.

  5.   You shall not kill.

  6.   You shall not commit adultery.

  7.   You shall not steal.

  8.   You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

  9.   You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.

  10.   You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

  

October 5, 2003 message continues

God the Father speaks:        

                            My daughter,

                                I love you and I love the souls of

                                    this earth. Satan wants you to

                                    be bowed down —

                                I am with you, do not fret or fume —

                                    live to love.

                                Come to Me.

                                I am the Alpha and the Omega.

                                I am your all.

                                Meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.

Jesus speaks:     The men persecuted Me, they whipped
                                Me, they put Me to death.

                            My Head was bloodied and crowned
                                with thorns.

                            Oh little one, see the Blood I shed
                                for you and know My love —
                                you are afraid and I am so
                                close to you.

                            Let go to Me.  

                            Sing:  Little Child 

  

  

October 5, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:     Do not give into satan.

                            Satan is the Father of lies.

                            A man suffered deeply in his relationship
                                with a woman, he continually tried
                                to blame other women for his pain,
                                he continually tried to work out his
                                troubled heart on others.

                            Pride keeps many stuck.
                            Your life is so short —
                            You should live to love.
                            Forgive others for offenses against you —
                                carrying hate in your heart makes
                                you bitter and many try to pin
                                their pain on others in an attempt
                                to work things out.

                            You must have relationships for the honor
                                and glory of God.

                            Satan will attempt to keep you stuck,
                                through guilt and anger.

                            A heart fixed on Me, constantly tries
                                to be truthful to themselves
                                about their own actions.

                            Lying to oneself about the truth is
                                so foolish.

                            A person can be happy and working productively
                                and satan comes, presses on a memory
                                and some soon are angry and ready
                                to get even.

                            Satan works in the thoughts.

                            Satan wants you to feel guilty.

                            Satan wants you to stop.

                            Don't give into him.

                            Satan wants to block your union with
                                Me.
                            Satan doesn't want you to love Me.

Messenger:        Oh pray for funds my people —
                                we do not have money
                                for the building payment and
                                other real major bills.

Jesus speaks:     My people will you not help Me with this work?
