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.


Joel 4:12-21

'Let the nations rouse themselves
    and march
to the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I shall sit in judgement
on all the nations around.
Ply the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe;
come and tread,
for the winepress is full;
the vats are overflowing,
so great is their wickedness!’

Multitude on multitude
in the Valley of Decision!
For the Day of Yahweh is near
in the Valley of the Verdict!

The Day of Yahweh

Sun and moon grow dark,
the stars lose their brilliance.
Yahweh roars from Zion,
he thunders from Jerusalem;
heaven and earth tremble.

But Yahweh will be a shelter
    for his people,
a stronghold for the Israelites.

'Then you will know
    that I am Yahweh your God
residing on Zion, my holy mountain.
Jerusalem will then be a sanctuary,
no foreigners will overrun it ever again.’

C: THE GLORIOUS FUTURE
OF ISRAEL

When that Day comes,
the mountains will run with new wine
and the hills will flow with milk,
and all the stream-beds of Judah
will run with water.
A fountain will spring
    from Yahweh’s Temple
and water the Gorge of the Acacias,
Egypt will become a desolation,
and Edom a desert waste
on account of the violence
    done to the children of Judah
whose innocent blood
    they shed in their country.
But Judah will be inhabited for ever,
and Jerusalem
    from generation to generation!
'I shall avenge their blood
    and let none go unpunished,’
and Yahweh will dwell in Zion.


Jesus speaks: I ask you to pray the Our Father. Say every word...say, "deliver us from evil."


October 9, 1999 - from Jesus- 2nd message

Jesus speaks: I want to be loved. If you knew the Blood I sweat in the garden for love of men, you think you would understand the New Adam, the God-made-Man and His love for you, but you do not even think of Me and how much I love you, how tenderly I wait for you to come and tell Me of your love. Most of the time I am left alone in My own house. You suffer for the time I was left alone, but the fate of the souls in hell! For they suffer isolation for all eternity.

Harken to Me, My life is real. I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. You shed tears, I shed Blood, My Blood, the saving Blood for you and you do not even comprehend My love as you should. You are so blind. Oh, the fate of the souls for all eternity to not have God. Oh, I sweat Blood and they do not see. They make their money their god. Oh, the souls, the souls, the souls.

Song: Bring Me Souls

Bring Me Souls
by Debora Ellen Kellner

O Lord of Light, O Lord of All,
Come into me, into my soul.
You are my Love, You are my All.
Give me strength to answer Your call.
You cry out to me, You cry out to all,
"Bring Me souls, bring Me souls, bring Me souls."

Dear Jesus, my Love and Friend
I love You so, my Lord and God.
You are the Way, the Truth, the Life.
You show me how to overcome strife.
You died for me, You died for all,
And You cry, "Bring Me souls, bring Me souls."

Lord, may my life be all for You,
my every word and deed I do,
You give me life, my every breath.
You gave Yourself unto Your death.
You cry out to me, You cry out to all,
"Bring Me souls, bring Me souls, bring Me souls."

Lord, help me love with all my  might,
and keep heaven in my sight.
This is what I'm living for
to be in heaven forever with You.
You died for me, You died for all,
And You cry, "Bring Me souls, bring Me souls."

As I am here upon this earth,
You light my path, I trust in You
Help me to pray, to love and do
all that will bring souls to You.
You are my Light, You are my Friend
And You cry, "Bring Me souls, Bring Me souls."

September 23, 1996

Messenger: Jesus loves you so much. Your life is so important to Him. In this time of your life, you have a lot of time to be with Him. He wants to be with you to talk to you, to share every thought you have. He wants you to share your every moment with Him.

This is a special time in your life because you can be alone with Him. If you offer your day to Him, offer up your eating and sleeping and sitting to Him - it is a prayer.

At this time in your life, your life offered to Him, your sufferings offered to Him, can help save many souls. Your brothers are suffering today. Many have chosen lives of sin. Many could go to hell. Your daily offering of your life to Him can help so many souls today.

Jesus wants you to be so close to Him and to help the world and the Church. Will you offer all your actions to Jesus? Will you offer everything you do as a prayer to Him? Will you offer it for our brothers who are hurting? Will you offer it for our priests and religious?

Oh, Jesus needs you. This is a special time in your life to be close to Him and to help to save souls. You have been called as His apostles of prayer. He loves you. He wants you to offer all your little actions to Him to help renew the Church and the world. Will you help by being His apostle? He is calling you an apostle and He will reward you with the greatest gifts in heaven. Jesus loves you and He wants you to love Him. You are His precious one.

Listen to these songs and messages. Jesus wanted me to give them to you. These are messages of love from Jesus.

Message given at an earlier date - 4th message

Presence

Jesus speaks: Presence is the word - My Presence. My child, you do not talk about it. You have it within your very heart, a burning of My love for you. Do you experience that which you cannot describe? This is My divine life I give to you. You share in My life in union with Me. Focus intently on this. When you do the dishes, know My Presence. Be drawn constantly into My Heart and Mary’s Heart.

Take shelter in Our Hearts. I want you to dwell within My most Sacred Heart. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection. Read My promises, live your life focusing on My most Sacred Heart. Realize the great love My Mother has for you. Her Heart knows your heart. She loves you so much. Consecrate your lives to our Hearts and promote this devotion. Our Hearts are the key to draw you into the love of God.

Oh, little one, My heart is the tenderest, most loving Heart. I want My Heart to reign in your heart, in your home and in your family.

I am Jesus, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am burning for love of you. Come into My Heart, out of the wind and the rain and you will know peace and joy.

As the Father has loved Me, so I love you. I love you this way, this day. It was His love that I knew all through My Passion. Focus on Our love and presence with you.

October 9, 1999

Messenger: Mary asked that we put the excerpt on today from August 7, 1999 daily message.


excerpt from August 7, 1999:

Messenger: Happy Birthday, Mary. Mary's birthday is celebrated September 8. We have exactly one month.

Mary speaks: I ask all to pray the rosary as never before for my intentions which include the intentions of the Shepherds of Christ. I ask this for my birthday present. Help me, my children, help me.

I ask all to pray for my beloved priest-son, Father Edward Carter, and the Jesuits. On the Feast of the Holy Rosary, October 7, 1999, I will grant great graces if you pray the rosary for the next two months more fervently than ever before for my intentions which include the intentions of the Shepherds of Christ, for Father Carter and the Jesuits.

I ask you to click on the message October 8, 1997, Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine, given from my Son Jesus.

I ask the promises of the rosary from the book Mother at My Side be placed here.


Promises of Our Lady to Those Who Pray the Rosary

Over the years, in various apparitions, Mary has stressed the importance of the rosary. She has promised great blessings to those who pray the rosary. To St. Dominic and to Blessed Alan she stated:

  1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive signal graces.
  2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.
  3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armour against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
  4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
  5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
  6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life.
  7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
  8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
  9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
  10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
  11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
  12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
  13. I have obtained from my Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death.1

Messenger: Mary is requesting we continue this novena indefinitely.


Excerpt from August 7, 1999:

Mary speaks:

If the 6:20 p.m. novena says Glorious, pray the next mystery which is Joyful for this novena.

If the 6:20 p.m. novena says Joyful, pray the next mystery which is Sorrowful for this novena.

If the 6:20 p.m. novena says Sorrowful, pray the next mystery which is Glorious for this novena.

This novena will follow the 6:20 p.m. novena as far as the kind of mystery you will say. You can say the novena anytime during the day.

I ask this for these intentions of mine.

  1. FOR MY INTENTIONS
  2. FOR ALL INTENTIONS OF THE SHEPHERDS OF CHRIST
  3. FOR FATHER CARTER
  4. FOR THE JESUITS

October 9, 1999
