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 for 5 urgent intentions!


Messenger: These messages have been discerned by a priest.


December 24, 2000

Given December 23, 2000

Messenger: I write to tell you how precious the moments are that we have with each other. We can become so busy that we do not cherish the gifts we have in just sharing time with each other.

Fr. Carter was buried today and we sang "Danny Boy" on his grave. All the servants and handmaids but one, and a lot of the apostles were at the grave to sing to him.

The message I received from Jesus was this - 

Jesus speaks: The devil will try to do all he can to break your connection to Fr. Carter. Stay united to him always in holy prayer. Pray through his intercession, united to the Mass, praying as a body for the Movement, the priests, the Church and the world.

You are the Shepherds of Christ. As you pray this Christmas, united to those under Mary's image, you will be praying that My Light will shine in the hearts of men this Christmas. I will outpour My grace on the world as you pray united as a body. Pray the prayers I give you for the priests, the Church and the world, and I will turn the hearts that pray My prayers into hearts filled with the fire of My love. Their hearts will be a burning light to the rest of the world.

I love you so much.

Never, never doubt My love.
Do not give in to Satan.

Fr. Carter will intercede for you at 
    the throne of God.

Unite with him at every Mass as you pray 
    more fervently than ever.

Give your hearts to Me and to your 
    Mother Mary.

I love you so much.

Show pictures on the Internet.

I am with you.
Pray the prayers I give you.
Spread Our Rosary Books this Christmas 
    season, it pleases My Mother.
Pray under Mary's image.
I am the Light of the world.
Rejoice, your brother has returned home, 
    now he intercedes for you at the throne of God.


December 24, 2000 Christmas Eve- Second Message

Sitting Beneath the Cross 

Messenger: I opened the Blue Book today to the same spot twice, it was this, February 24, 1994, "Let Me Permeate Your Being."


Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Let Me Permeate Your Being (excerpt)

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 24, 1994 6:00 a.m.

Jesus: People say they want to be close to Me, but they want it on their terms. I come in the busiest moments of your lives and you are missing My love affair with you. You want Me on your terms, in your time. You want a quick time with Me. You don't do that to someone you love. You linger and do not want to leave. You want this attentiveness and you give it to the other person. I want a love affair with you. I want burning love. I want to be Number One in your life. I want you, My little beautiful ones. I am God and I long for you with a heart afire. I long for you with My ardent love. I come to you in Communion. God comes to you and you treat Me so coldly. I love you. I want you. I am eagerly waiting for you and you treat me coldly. You run off to senseless things and pay no heed to God Whom you receive in Communion. How this hurts My aching heart! To love you so much—God—to come to you, only to be made light of!

You do not know the pain in My heart for such indifference. You do not know how silly you are to run after these senseless things when God is waiting for your silent moments with Him. Busy, busy—and I wait. I grow so tired of speaking because they do not have ears that hear. They want signs and words and what have you and I come into your heart. I share Myself with you in Holy Communion. You, child, behold God in your breast, and you run after senseless things!

You want to know God. You want to love God. You want to serve God. Quit the lip service. Sit with Me. It is very simple. You do not know anyone if you never spend time alone with them. Sit after Communion. Alone. You want to do what you want to do. You want Me to fit into your concept of God. To know Me is to be always ready to grow, to open up to the Word of God here and to listen and be taught. I am Jesus. I am telling you in simple terms how to know Me and love Me and really serve Me. You are so willful. You want it your way. That is why you do not listen!

Surrender and be taught. Comply with the will of The Father. These prayers are beautiful when they are said for love of Me and My mother and when they come from your heart out of great love!

These prayers are cold and offend Me when you decide to do your quota and rattle them off, who knows where, and then say, "Oh, I spent so much time with Jesus." Do I get anything out of this time "with Him"? I do not like this cold prayer. You decide to do an endless stream of prayers, do them to get them in, and then ignore Me all day.

I want action from your heart. I want love. I want to be as close to you as an ardent lover. I am a person. I am God. I wait for your love affair with Me this day. Please harken and be with Me. I wait for you with such longing—you and you alone. See My eyes looking on you with such tenderness and longing. See My heart on fire for love of you. Come and be fed in the soul by God himself. No man can ever come close to My love. Nothing can give you what I alone have to give you.

Come, I love you!


Messenger: Before we left Florida, John took four pictures on a roll of film.

One picture was very blue.

Two shots had something that looked like a candle or roll or something.

In the fourth shot this appeared.


   

(The picture to the right is an enlargement of the second picture of the above.)

 

Messenger: Notice the blue panel underneath the little picture, notice the blue panel under the 1st picture. It looks like the rainbow has been driven with force.

We do not know what is on the picture, it could be a judge's hammer and a judge with a cardinal colored hat and a tall lighted candle.

The hammer could be going down.

 

The next picture John took on that roll was the empty stripped bed in Michigan after Fr. Carter's body was removed.

Above the bed were roses we sent Father Carter, John and I and the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

When I went to the cemetery I didn't have a scarf.

Mary told me to wear the rainbow blanket.

Here is a picture John took as I walked to his grave. 

Here is a picture at the grave site. 

 

Here is a picture John took as I left the grave site. I had a rose from his coffin in my hand. 

All I took with me of his remains was that single rose.

 

Here is a picture from the Milford cemetery. 

 

Here is a picture of the Sorrowful Mother my daughter drew and gave me for Christmas two years ago, and I wish to include a message I received from Jesus yesterday. 


Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

(End of Mary's Message)


Messenger: I like the poem: 

"I will be spending Christmas with the King."

I like the words Jesus gave me at 3:00 a.m. the morning of the day Father died, December 18, 2000.


3:00 a.m. Jesus said: Would you wish to deprive Me of giving a holy soul their reward?


Messenger: Hear Father Carter say-

"And your sorrow will be turned to joy for I am with you in your hearts and I love you." 

Jesus speaks: Pray united as a body praying through his (Father Carter's) intercession for the Movement, the Church and the world.

        I want you to come to me and share your feelings,
        I will listen, I will help you. 

        I am the greatest listener.

        I love you so much and I want you to come and talk to Me,
        to write to Me about your feelings.

        I will help you, I love you so much.

        I am Jesus, the Son of God.

Messenger: I had to work through my feelings with Jesus.

Jesus understands me more than I understand myself.

He will help me. He is the perfect lover.

Jesus speaks: Say loving things,
                         speak what is the message of love in your hearts.

                        Many unspoken words of love can help others.

                       Speak to your loved ones with love.

                       Love, Jesus

        The days go by with such swiftness and 
            soon the autumn leaves turn the 
            trees barren in the cold night,
            but spring comes with it buds.

        I give you each other to love.


Jesus speaks: I want you to come to me and share your feelings,
                    I will listen, I will help you. 

                    I am the greatest listener.

                    I love you so much and I want you to come and talk to Me,
                    to write to Me about your feelings.

                    I will help you, I love you so much.

                    I am Jesus, the Son of God.


December 24, 2000 - Third Message 

Let There Be Peace On Earth

Messenger: When a person shares their feelings many times they are saying what is in the depth of their heart.

They want very often validation of the feeling and understanding for how they feel.

Many women work through feelings by expressing them openly and hoping the other just listens and understands.

It can be very hurtful when one expresses feelings deep inside and another tries to give them an intellectual solution, telling them why their feelings are wrong and they shouldn't have felt that way.

A lot a times, one will share feelings deep from the heart of problems they have and the other moves in with intellectual answers to their problems. Making themselves superior to the one in need of sharing feelings. Sort of like, now I will help you because you are needy. A person many times sharing feelings just needs a welcoming ear so they can work through those feelings and move on. But if the person listening begins to tell them intellectually how to handle their problems, the person coming with a broken heart, needing a listening ear, may respond adversely to another seizing the opportunity to take a superior role and help solve the heartbroken one's problems.

We are, many times, trying to mutually connect and love each other. A person opening up their heart usually wants the other to respond with a heartfelt response to their problems, or maybe they just want someone who listens and validates their feelings so they can move out of them.

One listening to another crying and needing an ear and a shoulder to cry on may have to work through deep seated fears and emotions all the way from childhood. Even if the other does not agree because they can never get inside another's heart, they can try to respond with a heartfelt response or let the other cry out their fears and the other may come to a deeper understanding of their own sorrow. But if a person interrupts the sad one with solutions and judgments, a jury ready to set the person expressing their feelings straight, they may have an erratic situation on their hands.

A child bleeding in the street does not need a bookish dissertation on the flow of blood written by the most profound blood analyst. 

I am a woman, called by God, to write messages about the heart and about feelings and love. Many times the devil works in the situation between how women express feelings and men respond with answers and solutions to their tearful feelings.

This is a way Satan can set up big black walls between couples trying to communicate deep feelings inside.

Ask God for help in communication. Writing feeling letters help. Listening with a heartfelt response rather than an intellectual synopsis of solutions may curtail many of the problems that can become so severe they can lead to a couple separation. 

God made men one way and women another way. Look at their bodies. It stands to reason they may differ in their approach to problem solving and expressing feelings, but I know this, when a child comes crying with a bloody knee, she doesn't need a dad or mom that says "I told you", "you should have listened to me", or one that throws intellectual superior inferences at the child. The child needs help with the bloody knee, a kiss on the wound, a bandaid.

God made us to love. The bottom line when the casket is closed is not who won the arguments, but the walks on a sunlit day when the golden leaves fell to your feet and the love one showed in always being there when you came crying for help.

So many arguments, even separations and dark, thick black walls have gone up because people failed to recognize a child, or spouse, or good friend coming with an open heart filled with wounds and tears and they responded with a superior body of wisdom when one laid themselves bare with a wounded heart. Don't be so hasty to offer an intellectual solution when somebody is upset or crying or has a wounded heart.

A dog that is bleeding in the street may bite someone who comes too close because they are wounded and they don't want you to hurt their wounds. You must go very careful when you approach them because their wounds are wide open and bleeding. Giving a dog a book or intellectual wisdom sure wouldn't help him. He is bleeding.

A person coming with an open wound must be treated gently and with love. This is not to say that for a confessor or one in authority that they may have to address issues when someone comes crying, but the way we handle each other when we are wounded may help us to be able to communicate better and lessen big black walls.

Satan sometimes works this way. One comes crying, sharing their feelings with an open heart, another comes with a judge and a jury, a bag of solutions to make themselves superior and the other needy. We want to try to empower one another to do God's will and be active in working through their feelings. When people are sharing feelings it is a very sensitive issue.

We can help others with an aching heart by listening to them. We can act like a cold fish helping to close down a bleeding heart. Many times in giving solutions we act like we know it all and the other person is needy and dependent on us. We act like we are "smarter" than them.

It helps if we just listen to the person with the aching heart.

Superiors and people in authority may need to listen with love and compassion and then address the issues that need to be addressed.

Whatever people in authority do they must act lovingly and act in Jesus' name.

Authority comes from God. A person acting in authority should act lovingly when settling issues.

May God help us to have loving responses to each other to help build mutual love and may there be gentleness between parent and child, superiors and the people under them.

There must be LOVE and understanding in our relationships. The policeman must enforce the law, but there can be gentleness and tenderness in the eyes of one who enforces dictates.

The bottom line is we seek gentleness, understanding and love. A policeman does not have to understand the person who violated the law, but they can have a gentle touch. 

We are all little children. I believe God made us so different so we would have to love deep from our hearts to get along. Men and women have different roles many times and perform some different duties. Only a woman can nurse a baby. God created them male and female to love.

A man and a woman together with God make the baby.

God intended for them to share and love and get along.

Jesus speaks: I created you to love. Bear with one another, help each other, love each other. I am your God, you shall have no gods before Me. When it is said and done, you will be judged on how you loved. That is the bottom line.

Messenger: Look how blue she is - something in this little square.

It looked like a judge's hammer and a man with a cardinal reddish hat and a tall candle.

It is very strange.

After we took the picture, we boarded the plane that took us to Cincinnati and then drove to Michigan.

 

There we found Father gone, for he had died about 1 1/2 hours before, and his bed was stripped already.

 

This picture reminded me of a message I got on January 5, 1999 from the Father under the image. I wrote it in my bible. I had never gotten a message from the Father during the rosary that I could remember. 

Here it is!


God the Father: "It is because of your fervor to pray here that you have held back the hand of My Son from punishing the earth with just punishment for the crimes committed against God."


Jesus speaks: I want you to come to me and share your feelings,
                    I will listen, I will help you. 

                    I am the greatest listener.

                    I love you so much and I want you to come and talk to Me,
                    to write to Me about your feelings.

                    I will help you, I love you so much.

                    I am Jesus, the Son of God.


         

A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.

A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.

On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say: 

May God heal                     through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.

Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.

May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.

We believe with all our hearts.

After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.

May                     be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.

Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary.

Note: The above section can be printed out from a PDF file, and you can pray the rosary looking at the pictures.
