December 8, 2006  — Feast of Immaculate Conception

Jesus speaks:        I carried My cross on Calvary for your
                                sins of pride

                            I carried My cross on Calvary for your
                                deception

                            I watched when you made others cry in
                                pain.

                            And I watched when you kissed them with
                                pure love.

                            I watched you struggle with holiness.

 

 

Jesus speaks:        I watched you give yourself in surrender
                                    to My Heart and Mary's Immaculate
                                    Heart.

                            I watched you from the cross with
                                    your selfish and unselfish ways
                                   
with your pride and your greed
                                   
lies and deception

                            I watched you and I wanted you to shine
                                    like a brilliant star, but your
                                    light became
                                    Very Dull from sins of
                                    untruthfulness

                           Look to the whole person you are
                                   
all your years
                                   
judge your actions by your past
                                   
See the patterns you carry that are
                                                hurtful, hate filled where
                                                there could be love.

                                I watched from the cross.

                                I carried your sins!!

                                My body was beaten.

                                My head crowned

                                Be holy as your heavenly Father is
                                      perfect

                                Be holy

                                Be pure

                                Be nice

                                Do not lie

                                Do not give into satan

   

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993 

Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

Prayer for Union with Jesus  

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

 

 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.

 

December 8, 2006 message continues

Messenger:               Jesus took our sins on His back. He did
                            it out of love for us Jesus paid the price for
                            our sins.

                                We have to work toward greater purity. Even though
                            we see our faults and some we do not recognize we
                            pray to God deeply pray to the Holy Spirit to love more
                            and be enlightened to hidden angers, hidden pain
                            that we may use innocent others in our present
                            life and blame them for things out of proportion
                            because of our wounded past.

                                It is a gift to interact we don't have to
                            believe everything someone may accuse us of, but
                            an intimate other a good friend someone we
                            work closely with, as spiritual director, can tell
                            us hidden traits we have that need to be changed
                            or how the evil one is working in our lives.

                                A spiritual director must be aware how the
                            Spirit can move in ways to lead us to greater
                            holiness, the evil spirit leads us in ways we do
                            not want and our own thoughts and imagination
                            can be in the right direction or wrong
                            direction. A spiritual director must be aware of
                            this or there can be damage instead of healing.

 

           

   

                            Going to frequent confession is so helpful.

                                Praying before the Blessed Sacrament can
                            lead us to greater knowledge of God's will
                            for us. We pray one hour every day and I know
                            how God outpours His grace to me.

                                Every hour is a special time every day in
                            which I come to be with Jesus. It is the place
                            I feel I can rest even when my heart is burdened
                            by trials.

                                When one is being tested, helping to lead others
                            spiritually it can be a very difficult journey
                            for both because of pride the person may
                            be resistant to see themselves with any
                            imperfections, except they have come seeking
                            help because they are unhappy and unable
                            to have intimate relationships (by intimate
                            I do not mean boy-girl friendship, preparation
                            for marriage or sexual, I mean clearly working
                            closely in love because it is God's will
                           
mother - daughter - mother - son - father -
                            son - sister - brother, community - good friends -
                            I mean any close relationship that demands
                            unity to establish its purpose)

                                I watch the religious orders dwindle
                           
I believe that the moving trend for failure to
                            recognition of authority has effected the dwindling
                            and closing of many religious communities.

                                The second thing I see clearly is a moving trend
                            among people in even religious work to become
                            more self-centered, less recognizing of their
                            imperfections and the failure for more and more
                            sister (convents), brothers etc. is because
                            we have forgotten that we are imperfect
                            and need to work in love to grow more
                            perfected as Our Heavenly Father desires

                                Imperfections are a reality for the
                            people of the human race.

                                Which is why we can see how important
                            Mary's role as spiritual mother is to sinful
                            man.

                                The Father gave us one, holy, sinless human
                            person to model our lives after.

                                Mary, Immaculate, conceived without sin.

                                We must look at the 7 deadly sins and
                            know how we must fight against jealousies,
                            angers, envious ways, pride, lust, gluttony,
                            slothfulness.

                                If we really are just a lazy person at
                            work it effects everybody else

                                Our imperfect ways do effect everybody
                            else. If we tell ourselves we are perfect
                           
we are lying so right away we must try
                            to deceive ourselves and others living a facade.

                                Our life is a constant process of being
                            molded more and more into the image of Jesus.

                            God the Father is the potter

                            We are the clay

                            I received a song.

                            you are the potter
                            we are the clay
                            mold us and fashion us
                            this is what I pray

Messenger:           We are God the Father's creation created in
                                 the image and likeness of God with this
                                 wounded human nature

                                 And we become baptized and receive this
                                special sharing in God's life, but
                                we have to deal with our wounded,
                                weakened human nature

                            Mary is the perfect model.

                            Mary is sinless

                            God's plan is ordered

                            God does not leave loose ends

                            God has given us an immortal soul.

                            Think of how it would be to have a whole
                                community of people baptized and living
                                a holy life in the state of grace.

                                God wants this for the people of His
                            Church God wants us to be holy
                            God gave us the sacrament of baptism,
                            penance, the Eucharist

                            Consecrating our hearts to the Hearts of
                            Jesus and Mary is to make us more holy.

                            God wants us to be more perfected as Our
                            Heavenly Father is perfected

                            But if one thinks they are perfect
                               
How can they grow to be more perfected
                                They live a lie.

                            I love Mary so much.

                            I am grateful to her the singular vessel

                            I know deeper intimacy with the Father, Son
                                and Holy Spirit through her Immaculate and Pure Heart.

                            I honor Mary.
                            I love her so much as my spiritual mother.
                            I love her so much as Jesus' mother.

                            I see her radiant in light
                                beautiful in perfection
                                full of sweetness
                               
saturated in wisdom
                               
full of grace.

                            I see Mary high above us in purity and holiness
                                and I thank God for this marvelous gift
                                of Mary.

                            I cannot put on this paper what this
                                Feast means to me.

                            The love I have for Mary is in all my
                                being and my love of God is so
                                deeply one with her.

                            She is to me the singular vessel
                               
Vessel of honor
                               
Singular vessel of devotion
                               
Mystical rose

                            I love the litany to Mary it helps me
                                express my deep love for her

                            God thank you for Mary.

                            Sing the Litany to Mary and let your heart be
                                filled with light
                               
let the Holy Spirit fill your soul with
                                    His grace and His light.

                            Today is a day to
                                 Sing of Mary
                                 So sweet, So holy
                                 Our beloved Mother

                            Mary Immaculate
                                 Singular vessel of perfection for the
                                    children of Adam and Eve

                            The Lady Clothed with the sun.

                            The stars of her crown give her the
                                dignity of the Queen of heaven
                                and earth.

                            Oh stars of the sky
                                 
let your lights shine so bright tonight
                                  that man will not be blinded to their
                                      imperfections, but love and
                                      and love and love and love again

                            How numerous are the stars of
                                  the sky
                                 
so numerous we cannot count
                                    them and yet they shine so brightly
                                    in the darkness.

                            Oh that we would shine this brightly
                                  against the darkness of this earth

                            Should we not, we who have been given
                                  the gift of baptism and fed at the
                                  table of the Lord

                            I think so

                            I have a graced soul

                            God's life is in me

                            God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in me

                            Should I not shine brighter than a star
                                against the darkness of the world
                               
I know I should

                            Little lights shine for Jesus.
