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: From today's Mass:

Romans 14:7-12

For none of us lives for himself and none of us dies for himself; while we are alive, we are living for the Lord, and when we die, we die for the Lord: and so, alive or dead, we belong to the Lord. It was for this purpose that Christ both died and came to life again: so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. Why, then, does one of you make himself judge over his brother, and why does another among you despise his brother? All of us will have to stand in front of the judgement-seat of God: as scripture says: By my own life says the Lord, every knee shall bow before me, every tongue shall give glory to God. It is God, then, that each of us will have to give an account of himself.

Getting Along with Each Other

Jesus speaks: You do not know how strong are the satanic attacks. If one is being attacked by Satan he is being told so many negative things.

Only love will help the person work through it.

The person being attacked usually thinks he is being rejected and unloved.

If you are wanting love from others and you come to them in an attack mode, this usually will cause division. This is the work of Satan. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. There are ways to act, but Satan may get in anyway. But coming lovingly will help.

When some one thinks he is being criticized, he may attack you back. It is important to let him know how much he does is appreciated, then tell him this aspect has to change.

Satan uses this means to block communication. One tells another something unpleasant that must be communicated, the other feels corrected and begins to attack, sometimes creating a case to defend himself. Communication is blocked by Satan.

If all are working with their heads together trying to do My work, this will not happen. You will see yourselves in battle and souls being lost. You will want to win the battle for the souls.

You don't see this. Satan blocks communication. It is like two men arguing on the battlefield. They are losing the battle while foolish pride gets in. Authority should stand.

This latest direction of looking inside and looking at yourself is the hardest thing you may feel you have ever done. This is where some may say, "You are wrong." for they refuse to look at themselves and see they need to be perfected.

This is the whole spiritual life, growing in greater perfection.

You feel bad inside. You look for a victim. You tell someone else. You divide yourselves from the person who has now become your victim. Do you think this will create unity?

Tell the person involved.

Going to an outsider discussing problems with someone else may cause tremendous problems. You have now taken sides against the person you needed to unite with. Will this help you be united, or will it tell you, you are right and they are wrong? Were you trying to be right, or were you trying to put your heads together to do My work?

Will this promote intimacy and unity?

You must truthfully be looking at yourself and wanting to act as God wills. You must examine past relationships with significant others. Write to Me about it.

Creating a case against someone you must be one with, may be very foolish.

Unity comes through truthfulness and working in love, together.

I do not like the way you act when you are the judge and the jury. Looking at others keeps you from looking at yourself.

You see them as the problem, and you do not look at yourself as part of the problem, or you fail to look at yourself at all.

Your feel bad inside, you blame it on somebody else, you work to fix the other. You do not even look at yourself because you are the one in authority or you can get away with it.

The transference of your moods and your emotions to someone else has got to stop.

You are not in this for control or to work out old relationship problems. You are in it to serve me.

Some do not even recognize they have any problems.

This is a problem. You should examine your conscience twice daily and ask yourself how you need to be more like Jesus.

I love you so much. I am Love. I wish the message from Sunday's rosary to circulate on tape and in written form. I want you to work in love together to solve all problems.

Both in a relationship must look at themselves. One person is not perfect and the other imperfect. When there is a problem, you must ask Me to help you to deal with it according to God's will.

And through the grace that I have been given, I say this to every one of you: never pride yourself on being better than you really are, but think of yourself dispassionately, recognising that God has given to each one his measure of faith. Just as each of us has various parts in one body, and the parts do not all have the same function: in the same way, all of us, though there are so many of us, make up one body in Christ, and as different parts we are all joined to one another. Then since the gifts that we have differ according to the grace that was given to each of us: if it is a gift of prophecy, we should prophesy as much as our faith tells us; if it is a gift of practical service, let us devote ourselves to serving; if it is teaching, to teaching; if it is encouraging, to encouraging. When you give, you should be generously from the heart; if you are put in charge, you must be conscientious; if you do works of mercy, let it be because you enjoy doing them. Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good. In brotherly love let your feelings of deep affection for one another come to expression and regard others as more important than yourself. In the service of the Lord, work not halfheartedly but with conscientiousness and an eager spirit. Be joyful in hope, persevere in hardship; keep praying regularly; share with any of God's holy people who are in need; look for opportunities to be hospitable.
