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.
Jesus speaks:
My children, My
message to you is this.
Mary appears to lead the Church, the school and the family into a life of consecration in Our Hearts.
The Shepherds of Christ Movement exists to help further the spiritual life of those in the Church and the world.
The members act as intercessors praying for the Church and the world.
The purpose of the Father in allowing Mary to appear here is that her mission that she began at Fatima will be completed.
Plan of the Father
- Circulate priestly newsletter to all priests.
- Begin prayer chapters.
- Spread the meditations on the rosary and Jesus' love letters.
- Get the rosary in the hands of all and teach them to pray it.
Mary speaks: WHY DO I APPEAR?
Jesus speaks: It is love that I want, not an attitude to only get things done, to accomplish the task, to have a solution and not act lovingly as God desires. You must not give in to the attitude within to have your way. You should want the Father's way. Sometimes it is patience and waiting. I hung on the cross for three agonizing hours. I walked the bitter Passion. I anguished in the garden. It is in your suffering, in your endurance you grow to greater life.
A soul seeks rest. Yet rest as you desire will not be given on this earth. Your soul longs for what is true and right, it longs for justice.
Psalm 72: 7
In his days uprightness shall flourish,
and peace in plenty till the moon is no more.
Jesus speaks: I come with this statement to tell you, "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee."
You can try to control all men and those around you, but you soon find it is impossible. Wouldn't it be so wonderful if all were operating in love, living harmoniously in the Father's will.
Did you ever think of how many different ideas a group of well-meaning people could come up with, if asked to share their ideas?
There is one will. You are working toward this great era of peace where men will live in the Father's will.
My sons, there is one will, it is the Father's.
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
(When men give their hearts to Jesus and Mary, they live in these Hearts of love and are more likely to do God's will.)
I teach you My way of life in these messages for the Reign of My Sacred Heart.
I teach you My way so that My people will be brides of Christ.
I teach you because I love you.
The Father wants it this way, that the members of My Body, the Church, live in a bridal union.
In consecration all pray to be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
From the apostles, handmaids, servants, and Fred, My Shepherds of Christ Movement is operated at My hand.
I want all to listen to the songs I so designate and connect to Me in their hearts.
Oh My children, you must wait, you must be patient and loving.
This is a given, there was One on the cross, and He died for you, My men. It was I. I am the Son of God, I gave Myself as a sacrifice because of My deep love for you.
Mary speaks: My children, I write to you to teach you. My ways are the ways of a mother's heart. What good does it do if you are haughty and not nice and cause a chain reaction all the way down the line? My children, you must treat each other in love. Those in authority must operate with a mother's love.
Mary speaks: Consecrate your children to Our Hearts.
I wish the consecration to the unborn be placed next to the picture above.
I wish you to follow the directions of my Son.
Jesus speaks: Oh ye of little faith, I smite you because you are tearing My Heart apart with your unloving ways. Like little bulls in a china shop, you move about with no care for the china. Only the silver could survive. You stomp on your brothers in an attempt to get ahead. Do you have a mother's love for those under you? A mother of love would do all she could to help her child. She is connected in her heart always to the child of her womb.
Oh My children, I remind you of the commandment to love God and one another, you have a lifetime to learn to love, to work out relationships lovingly according to the Father's will. My children, I cry out to you to live as brothers loving one another, obeying the commandments and living by My word.
Oh My children, impatience is a problem.

Excerpt from February 15, 2000 daily message
Messenger: I asked my Jesus if I could give Him a Valentine every day and He told me He would like that. He asked that the Valentine be included daily and that we fill it out every day and give it to Him with that date.
He asked that we circulate this Valentine to children, adults, to as many as possible that all will give their hearts to Him and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Witness Letter - Morgan H.
How has the Shepherds of Christ Movement changed my life?
Before I felt called to be a member of Shepherds of Christ my life was very different. I was in the world and of the world. The thought of God never crossed my mind, yet there was this ache in my heart to be satisfied that caused me to search, and search, and search for what my soul craved. I tried this and I tried that, only to be left empty.
One day I experienced the love of God in a most profound way. I knew that my search had ended. For the first time in my life I was made whole. I knew that I wanted more.
Several months later a very dear friend gave me a Blue Book. I began to sit in front of the tabernacle (which I had already been doing) and to read the messages every day. I didn't realize it at the time but God was beginning to work in my heart in a most profound way. Everywhere I went to pray these Blue Books and Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manuals began to pop up.
One day before Mass I prayed the prayers and I knew that I was a shepherd. The first Shepherds of Christ meeting I attended was on May 13, 1997 at Tom Arlinghaus' farm. I KNEW I WAS A SHEPHERD.
I began to attend the Sunday rosaries every Sunday at the Morrow Center and I began to feel His life grow within me. More and more He began to lift the veil and I knew that He is a real Person and that He wants to be the Bridegroom of my soul.
Last September (1999) I moved to China, Indiana, to be a servant. The greatest desire of my heart ever since I have joined Shepherds of Christ is to be His special spouse. I wanted to give myself totally to Him as His bride.
Since I have been in China I have been consistently praying the Shepherds of Christ prayers from the Prayer Manual and through this He has taken me ever deeper into His Heart. I exist in Him to heights I never thought possible. Reading Blue Book messages from Him all through the day has been an essential part of my growth in Him. He really speaks to me through them. He praises me for a job well done. He admonishes me for a job not so well done. He comforts me in my troubles and constantly assures me of His love when I am feeling downcast. He has taught me so much through the Blue Books. He has come alive to me through the Blue Books. I love you so, Jesus. Amen.
Q: How has our love for each other helped us to grow in love for others?
