October 7, 2000 - Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

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 fervently for two intentions! Please!

From a message received from Jesus on October 4, 2000

"I have called you to My site in China, Indiana, My Mother has requested the day be dedicated to praying for healing for My beloved priest-son, founder of My Movement, Shepherds of Christ.

Messenger: Jesus wants the Mass said to bring healing graces through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater for our founder Fr. Carter.

Jesus speaks: It should be made known, the founder is extremely ill and in need of physical healing to remain on earth. I ask the whole world to join in these prayers of healing especially on this date the 83 anniversary of My Mother's appearance at Fatima. (October 13, 2000)

I desire the message I gave to the founder October 13, 1994, be given with this message.

Messenger: Jesus wants us united all over the world praying for Fr. Carter for healing especially October 13, 2000.

Our special service at 12:00 will begin with Mass, prayers and rosary and will last from 12:00 to 5:00.

Please unite with us during this time to pray for healing of Fr. Carter through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

Messenger: A Song from Jesus was given October 7, 1994.

On October 7, 1994, Jesus told me to write a song to be sung after Communion for a Mass at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center on October 8, 1994. I told Him I couldn't write music. He said, "You will not do it, I will." My daughter and I sat at the piano bench and in five minutes Jesus gave me the words and music to A Song from Jesus. This is His love song to you.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, AND IN HIM

Mass Book II Entry

Excerpt from April 13, 2000 daily message

Christ seals the new covenant
with his blood

This makes him the mediator of a new covenant, so that, now that a death has occurred to redeem the sins committed under an earlier covenant, those who have been called to an eternal inheritance may receive the promise.

John 8: 51-59

In all truth I tell you,
whoever keeps my word
will never see death.

The Jews said, ‘Now we know that you are possessed. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead, and yet you say, "Whoever keeps my word will never know the taste of death." Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? The prophets are dead too. Who are you claiming to be?’ Jesus answered:

If I were to seek my own glory
my glory would be worth nothing;
in fact, my glory
   is conferred by the Father,
by the one of whom you say,
   ‘He is our God,’
although you do not know him.
But I know him,
and if I were to say, ‘I do not know him,’
I should be a liar, as you yourselves are.
But I do know him, and I keep his word.
Your father Abraham rejoiced
to think that he would see my Day;
he saw it and was glad.

The Jews then said, ‘You are not fifty yet, and you have seen Abraham!’ Jesus replied:

In all truth I tell you,
before Abraham ever was,
I am.

At this they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself and left the Temple.

Messenger: One can see the lack of understanding of the people in this gospel concerning Jesus, and today many men do not understand about the life that goes on after death or they would amend their lives.

SACRIFICE

Sacrifice. Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son. In the Old Testament they offered sacrifice to please their God and to receive His favors. God did not make Abraham sacrifice his son, but He gave us His Son as a sacrifice. Today we offer ourselves to the Father in union with Christ His Son, the most perfect offering.

Hebrews 9: 11 - 15

But now Christ has come, as the high priest of all the blessings which were to come. He has passed through the greater, the more perfect tent, not made by human hands, that is, not of this created order; and he has entered the sanctuary once and for all, taking with him not the blood of goats and bull calves, but his own blood, having won an eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on those who have incurred defilement, may restore their bodily purity. How much more will the blood of Christ, who offered himself, blameless as he was, to God through the eternal Spirit, purify our conscience from dead actions so that we can worship the living God.
