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.

Jesus speaks:     Wake Jerusalem your light has come.

                            I come to comfort the weary and to
                                lead the strayed ones home to My Heart.

                            My Heart is an endless vat of love on
                                fire for you.

                            Oh wake children of Israel —

                                Let the light fill the corners of your
                                    rooms —

                                Open your hearts that you can
                                    hear My words spoken to you —

                                I came a baby into your midst
                                    to bring you peace —

                                Where will your heart be this
                                    Christmas?

                            Labor not in vain —

                            Oh children of Israel —

                            Open your hearts —

                            throw out the debris —

                            Make ready for a mighty King —

                            I will spread My light in the dark
                                corners, but you must pray
                                for this grace.

                            I have asked you to pray these prayers.

                            To honor Me and show love to My
                                Mother by praying My prayers.

  

  

December 20, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:     A light shines in the darkness —
                                your hearts are quieted, the peace
                                    I send to you will abound

                                A city is sleeping with heavy hearts —
                                    soon they will know the comfort
                                    I give to them and sleep as
                                    little babies of the night with
                                    peace in their hearts, for they
                                    know the Savior.

                                I have come into the world to
                                    bring you the peace and
                                    joy in your hearts that only
                                    I, the Savior, can bring you.

                            Oh people of Jerusalem, listen to the
                                words of the Savior, into the barren
                                night I come to plant My seeds of
                                hope in their hearts and they will
                                rise and walk by My light.

                            Oh Jerusalem, open your hearts, do not
                                close the door, for your Savior
                                comes a Mighty King to give you
                                what your heart desires —

                            Oh I am the God of your hearts, the
                                one who loves you, the one your
                                heart craves ——

                            Oh but that you would recognize the Good
                                Shepherd when He comes, oh that you
                                would hear the sound of My voice.

  

John 10: 2-5

He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognise the voice of strangers.’

Jesus speaks:     Awake Jerusalem, the night will be
                                no more and My light will shine
                                on the earth,
                                their hearts will be quieted like
                                a baby sleeping next to their mother's
                                breast.

                                You must pray Jerusalem —

                                Clean the debris from your hearts

                                Choose life, not death

                            Life only the Savior can bring into your
                                hearts —

                            Oh men of Israel harken to the sound
                                of My voice —

                                your day has come — prepare

                                your hearts for a Mighty King —

                                rise up and sing Jerusalem —

                                praise your God with harp

                                    and song —

                                chant songs of praise to your God

   

                            I am the God of your hearts —

                            Oh how I love you —

                            Will you honor Me?

                            Will you worship other gods?

                            Oh feast on My gifts given to you.

                            Receive My Body, drink My Blood.

                            I am the Bread of Life.

                            I am your Savior.

                            A light shines in the darkness —

                            I came a little infant into your
                                midst, into a world darkened
                                and in sin —

                            Today I come your Savior, in the Eucharist,
                                Worship Me, Thank Me and give
                                Me your burning love.

                            I am Jesus, your Savior —
                                truly present in the Blessed Sacrament
                                I come to the fallen children —
                                I outpour My life to you —
                                I come to set you free —

                            Reach for the stars —
                                open your eyes —
                                open your ears —
                                hear Me, oh Jerusalem —
                                hear Me speak, I love you so
                                much —

                            I want your love this year for My
                                birthday gift — love from My beloved
                                ones — Come to Me and I will give you rest —

                            I am Jesus the Savior of the world.

                            I am Jesus, the Son of God.

                            Rise up,

                            Sing

                            Worship your God —

                            Clear the debris from your hearts —

                            Oh My children —
                              live to be pure.

Messenger:            and it was so beautiful,

                            but to come home and see the beauty of
                                the snow was very pretty too —
                                the lights for Christmas, the snow
                                and the cherry snow man with
                                his little black hat —

  

  

December 20, 2003 message continues

Messenger:        God has spread the earth with beauty —

                            Dear God —

                                Outpour your grace into our souls,
                            that they will be pure and we will
                            be vessels to do your work.

                            ALL FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY OF GOD

 

 

(Jesus gave me this writing at about 2:40 a.m.
December 20, 2003 - the message given about the
same time 10 years ago follows)

Messenger:            I have thoughts. I can control
                           what I choose to continue thinking
                           about.

                               I want my actions to be according
                           to God's will. I want my actions to be 
                           performed with purity.

                           I want every action to be performed
                           according to God's will for the honor
                           and glory of God.

                               This is what we must do. Rid
                           ourselves of jealousy and pride and
                           greed etc. so our intentions are performed
                           with purity to honor God not to fill
                           some selfish way we wish things to be
                           to satisfy ourselves against God's will.

                               We rid ourselves of attachments that
                           in anyway interfere with this purity
                           of intention.

                               Thoughts that are indulged in
                           against the Father's will can be the
                           devil's playground.

                               Discernment is a process that we
                           must engage in, in our mind to make
                           the right choices, but we can give
                           into thoughts of greed, lust, jealousy,
                           pride etc. and then act maliciously
                           toward others or wrongfully because
                           of evil thoughts we may have entertained
                           previously.

                               We can focus on God. We
                           can focus on the truth. We do not
                           have to give into negative thinking —
                           we do not have to give into thoughts
                           of untruths.

                               Some may act in ways because they
                           live in a fantasy land in their minds.
                           They allowed these thoughts to develop
                           in their mind through an act of their
                           own will and they entertained them.
                           One may isolate and live in a fantasy
                           land in their mind, putting people in
                           place like staging a movie.

                               It is very important to interact
                           with others in keeping our thoughts
                           in the truth. In all matters, our words,
                           our thoughts should be in the truth.

                               Our hearts pure — modeling our lives
                           after Jesus and Mary.

                               Purity of intention is so important,
                           ridding ourselves of attachments
                           that may help to lead us into impure
                           intentions for our actions.

                               Do we perform the correct action, but not
                           as well as we could because of hidden
                           jealousy when we are acting?

                               Our goal must be to want God's
                           will and to perform our actions to
                           please Him with hearts of love.

                               The intentions in our hearts, our
                           disposition effects the performance
                           of our actions.

                               Do we do actions to please the authority,
                           but harbor bitterness and resentment inside?
                           How do you think this would effect the performance.
                           One acts with purity, and gives their all to that
                               action wanting it to promote the honor
                               and glory of God.

                           The other performs the action, but in their
                               heart they are resentful and hateful,
                               full of envy.

                           How do you think their performance will
                               lend to the working of all the people involved.
                               Then they may act like the others have a "problem",
                               when in fact their tainted performance
                               has in some way blocked the free-flow
                               of the activity.

                           How did Mary say yes to the actions she was
                               asked to perform?

                           Her intentions were pure.

                           We must let go of these impurities in ourselves 
                               which lead to halfhearted performances.
                               Jesus wants purity of our actions.

                           To do what God wants, to promote His Kingdom
                           with a pure heart, with a whole commitment
                           to the task with the intentions to promote
                           the honor and glory of God,

                               See our minds and thoughts as pure water
                           flowing in and out. We are a vessel. We want to
                           do God's work here on earth.

                           Get rid of the debris. The evil,
                           jealous, envious thoughts. Dear God
                           help us to meditate on the mysteries of
                           the rosary. Help us to keep the purity
                           of Jesus and Mary in our hearts.

                               Meditating on Jesus and Mary's life,
                           controlling our thoughts through will
                           training and asking for grace to do so
                           will help our actions to be more pure — done
                           for the honor and glory of God and to promote
                           His Kingdom.

                               Purity — that is our intention —

                               Pure actions —

  
      

                                    Luke 1: 46-55

                    The Magnificat

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

                                I am your heavenly mother —

                                I call you to do your actions out of
                                    love for God and love for others.

                                Are your actions performed because
                                    of love in your heart? —

                                Are your actions performed for your
                                    own vain glory?

                                Live in the moment to love and serve your
                                    God by doing His will with pure
                                      intentions in your heart.

                                Make your heart a stable of purity for
                                    the head of the Christ-child
                                    this Christmas.

                                Pray to be pure,

                                Pray to be holy.

                                Ask God to help you let go of selfish
                                    attachments.

 

                              The 7 capital sins are:
                                    pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust,
                                    gluttony, and sloth.

                               The 4 cardinal virtues are:
                                    prudence, justice, fortitude,
                                    and temperance.

Angels Will Read the Message

December 20, 1993 - 2:40 a.m.

Jesus speaks: Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.

I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?

Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!

What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!

I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.

Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!

Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?

Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul.

I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.

America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.

Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much.

My gift to My people is My love this Christmas. I am showering all at this Center with grace this season. The devotion there pleases Me, but more must flock and they will be changed from hardened hearts to hearts for God. I am God, little ones. I came and I died a brutal death. I am calling to you all to deliver this now. Make this your top priority so they will hear My message of love and know the love I have for them. Do not tarry. Do this today, little ones.
