Jesus speaks: Much can be learned from watching babies.
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: Every day during Lent I request each writing begin with this prayer and it is prayed before you read every daily message.
Jesus speaks: Babies are carefree. When they have to eliminate,
they go in their diapers. When they are tired, they cry, the more tired they are, the more
loudly they cry. Some babies THROW such a fit if they have been forced from their routine
and forced to do things when they should have been quiet and rested. If babies have pains
in their stomachs, they scream many times. If babies are hungry, they scream.
You are My babies. But you learn that you cannot scream when you want or
need something. Your parents teach you to wait for the proper timing and then you will get
what you need. But some little babies never get what they need. They cried when they
needed love and the parents kept putting the baby off. Some children learned when they
wanted something, they would not get it. The parents are parents to care for their
children and teach them about God's will. Many times, if parents were babies that were
neglected in love, they will have a hard time loving their children. Inside of themselves
they hide their silent screams. My children, funny things happen in intimate
relationships. When you become intimately involved with another, you open up these wounded
places in your heart which many times have been closed off through this neglect and lack
of love.
You become willing to let the person into the deep recesses of your
heart. It is "touchy" in there. You do not want to be wounded. You want to open
up and give your all, but you want the other to cherish that gift and show love,
appreciation and acceptance of the gift. It perhaps feels good for a while, and then you
feel you give so deeply and they did not respond or cherish your gift of yourself. Your
tendency is to scream out in pain and to close up and not trust again. Within the heart
are chambers, places deep within. Some babies were given the proper love when they cried,
others cried and cried and when they were ignored they closed up these chambers and
beneath lurks the raw wound. The message planted deep in the heart is "I am not
important enough to be loved". Some babies got the message they were important. The
baby is very simple. If it is lonesome and wants to be held, it communicates this through
crying many times. Every person needs ordinary love. Babies need to feel secure, babies
need to be held, babies need to know that they are important to others. Babies do not need
a message that they are in the way. Babies have needs.
The way babies are treated by those around them plants messages on their
hearts about relationships, about love. The babies learn of God's love for them through
their parents and those around them. The more parents are like God, the more the babies
will love like God. The parents are the teachers. The way babies learn to relate will be
in all relationships all through life.
Remember the parents that say, "Oh, let him scream, I will teach
him who is in charge." No matter how it was in all of your lives, the silent screams
of a baby which was ignored lurk beneath the surface of the heart.
The baby of the past thinks his needs will be satisfied now. Your need
for love is that of a heart created in the image and likeness of God. You will never be
satisfied here on this earth. Your desire is to be possessed by God. The craving within
has been planted in the heart by My Father. He created you to love God first and others,
too. He is the heart-maker, the body-maker, He breathes a soul into His creation. The plan
is His. He is the Creator. If you wish to use a technical phone, you read the instructions
of the man who designed it. To not read the instructions becomes an endless search of
discovering the method to one man's madness of making that phone work. You know it works.
Why would you undo all the ways to make it work when the man who designed it has given you
a paper with clear instructions of his plan?
I am Jesus, Son of the living God, I am your Spouse. I am the SACRED
HEART OF JESUS -- My Heart is most pure and holy, all-perfect and consumed with DIVINE
LOVE.
Your Mother Mary is sinless, her Heart is IMMACULATE. She is the Mother
of the wounded hearts. She takes the heart into her Immaculate Heart and the Holy Spirit
acts to sanctify the heart in her Immaculate Heart.
God is your God. God is all-perfect and pure. Parents are here to teach
God's ways of loving. But from generations past, parents are wounded, many have not gone
to God to get their hearts repaired and the wounding of hearts goes on and on and on as
parents parent their young. The silent screams of the wounded hearts go back and back and
back to other generations and when a baby cries in a home of a man and woman who did not
have their needs met, the parents do not respond as they should, for how can they properly
give love when they have so many unmet needs of their own? The screams, the silent screams
go back to the parents and grandparents, etc.
It is in a deep study of one's interior life that one becomes aware of
the imperfections that lurk within, but the devil has blocked the interior life of many by
the constant noise in the world that draws a person to look for answers in pleasures in
the outside world. The true treasure is to read the instructions and see what is the best
chemical that needs to be used in the body to make it work most efficiently. Putting water
in a gas tank of an automobile will make that machine meet a very sorry end.
Your hearts were created by God. They are wounded. The silent screams of
a wounded heart is heard in the anger and hatred of one who acts in the world most
imperfectly. The one who sprays his anger on everyone he touches, walks away possibly
creating a whole chain reaction of unloving activity in relationships.
You were created to love, you were created to serve God, you were
created for Me. In this Lent, I ask you to focus on the positive aspects of your
relationship with Me. I ask you to be My spouse. It is in this spousal relationship with
me that you will most intimately know the Father. He is the Creator. The Holy Spirit works
to sanctify you in His spouse, the Virgin Mary. The incarnation goes on in you. Hearts
that were created for God will operate most effectively when filled to the brim with His
life.
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.
Jesus speaks: I will live in you and you will live in Me.
Messenger: Come to me Lord and possess my soul.
Jesus speaks: Tomorrow will begin a new day for the Movement, the
Holy Spirit will come in a special way as you pray as a body for His coming.
There will be 12 novenas, ending on the 12th day of June, the Feast of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Pray for His coming in your hearts. I will come to you My precious
souls, I will fill you and possess your souls.
During this period always pray the Prayer
for Union with Jesus and the Spouse of the Lamb
Prayer.
There will be 12 novenas to the Holy
Spirit and the Rosary Novena to the Blessed
Virgin Mary, ending on that great Feast after My most Sacred Heart Feast.
This novena will end with the celebration of the devotion to Our Hearts.
It will end with the Feast days, the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of
Mary.
You are the spouse of the Lamb. You will spend your time during the
novena looking forward to every feast with great anticipation. It will all end on Our
special Feasts.
I wish the calendar of the rosary to be redesigned, 12 periods or
novenas, nine days each. The following feasts should be marked.
The first novena will end on March 5, FIRST FRIDAY, with the rosary at
6:30 p.m. in Florida.
I wish special celebration of these feasts:
All Sundays are important.
All 5ths, 13ths, and 17ths are important. All First Fridays and First Saturdays are
important.
| PENANCE and PREPARATION |
|
| CELEBRATION |

I ask you to live your life according to the life of the Church. I ask
you to celebrate the feasts with great jubilation in your hearts, looking forward with
anticipation and partaking in the Church's celebration, uniting heaven and earth in this
jubilation in your hearts.
Feel the importance of the feast to Me, your beloved Spouse.
I want joy in your hearts for these feasts.
February 24, 1999 - Second Message
Jesus speaks: I give you a parable. In a certain family a man is considered the head, his wife his servant. She is permitted to do only as he allows her. He rules with an iron hand. She is mother of the children, she is given authority over her children by God, but the man weakens her authority. He will not recognize her authority at all. To keep control he stops her every time she asserts any authority. The children are not properly raised. Authority comes from God. In loving union acting as one, married couples see to the upbringing of the children.
Ephesians 5:21-24
The morals of the homeBe subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, since, as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body, so is a husband the head of his wife; and as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything.
Jesus speaks: Now My beloved ones, from generations past the men
have been taught how to treat women.
Ephesians 5:25-30
Husbands should love their wives, just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words, so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless. In the same way, husbands must love their wives as they love their own bodies; for a man to love his wife is for him to love himself. A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body.
Jesus speaks: LOVE and respect: A man must love his wife as I
love My Church.
I am the Head, I am God, I am a loving God.
From generations past fathers teach male children how to treat their
wives.
I ask you to see a home in which the man has been taught that woman
should not assert themselves in the household. The authority in such a household is
weakened. Children suffer, for they do not see the proper structure and relationship. The
focus is always that he will rule, she will not have authority. There is an atmosphere of
control, a lack of the Spirit moving, a lack of spontaneity. I give to you the heart of a
man, the heart of a woman. Men are incapable of having babies physically. There are great
gifts I give to a woman to help the intimacy be maintained in a relationship. Men are
incapable of having babies. Women are incapable of conceiving babies without the male. The
ways of the human hearts and ways of relating are different in men and women.
Men bring certain things to the relationship, women other things. In
loving harmony they will grow to have hearts likened to Mine and interact more perfectly
in loving union, in intimate love. the Persons of the Trinity are united in perfect
oneness.
In a home where the man has been taught to dysfunctionally operate by
his rules, the home has lost the woman's touch, and many times many of the ways of
relating most sensitively have gone from the home.
Do you see homes in which men have dysfunctionally operated? Women
through force have had to comply to their rules and the children suffer, learning very
dysfunctional, unloving ways of relating.
What happens when a man has interfered with the Father's plan and
operates from force and coercion according to ways he was taught from the generations that
preceded him?
The way seems absolutely rooted in truth for him, for he was taught from
the past dysfunctional ways as an infant.
Women are to be most sensitive and loving in their ways of dealing with
children and the family.
I am God. I came in the womb of the Virgin Mary. I am Head of the
Church.
For generations past some priests have taught other priests it was not
important to have a relationship with the heavenly Mother. In these cases the ways of
operating in relationships with people in such priests' churches becomes dysfunctional.
Mary is the Mother of the Church. it is through her loving ways that the
Church will grow in greater intimacy with Me.
If the way some priests are taught regarding Mary as Mother of the
Church is incorrect, they will continue to teach dysfunctional ways of relating to Mary
and to one another.
You say, "A man and a woman must both assume their roles in a
loving union if the family is to be as God intends." I say this, "I am Head of
the Church and until many priests realize Mary's role as Mother of the Church, they will
not function in intimate relationships as the Father intends."
Messenger: It is the age of the two Hearts. Our Lady told Jacinta, "Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her." (The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje, p. 18)
John 19:25-27
Jesus and his motherNear the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
Jesus speaks: Many of My priests do not have a place for Mary in
their hearts. Their hearts are to be molded most likened to Mine in the Immaculate Heart
of their Mother, her spiritual womb. There cannot be improper control in the parish. It
must be run under the authority of Christ as Head and Mary as Mother of that church.
The priest is the head of his parish. There is a pastor in charge of the
church. He represents Me in the church. He cannot operate from his own
"headship" if there is to be the Spirit moving in his church or parish. He must
realize he is under Me as Head and Mary, Mother of the Church, allowing the Holy Spirit to
move in the church.
Your churches will only be little cities of light when Mary's Immaculate
Heart is venerated next to Mine.
I ask you again to look at the parable of the woman and the man. He
dominates against the Father's will. He has given the authority to the children and the
wife has little say, it is a sorry situation. It is the Father's will that she is
responsible for the upbringing of the children and teaching them the ways of God mutually
with her husband.
In many of My churches there is a cold atmosphere. My children are not
being taught to love and know their Mother and My priests see themselves as head, not
needing the Mother's authority. Mary has authority over her priests, she is their Mother.
I came into the world a little baby, I nursed at her breast, I cuddled in her arms, I was
presented in the temple and her Heart was pierced with a sword for so many that would not
know Me. If there is to be intimacy with My Sacred Heart, Mary must take her rightful role
in the Church. A parish in which the head priest is not properly connected to Mary will
not operate as it should. A family in which the woman is not permitted authority that she
rightfully deserves in the family as mother over her children, is a dysfunctional family.
My children in the Church need their Mother, they need to be brought
forth from her Immaculate Heart. The Church is sanctified by the Holy Spirit working in
the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Everything must be as the Father wills it to be, or there will be a lack
of order and there will be dysfunction.
Mary is Mother of the Church, Mother of the priests and Mother over her
children.
This Novena of the Holy Spirit,
the prayers for priests and the renewal of the
Church and the world, and the rosary for
these 108 days, are most important to your Church and your world.
If you are reading this message now, begin the novena with Us now. Just
begin late, but pray with Us. Stay with the directions given for that day. The Feasts of
the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart will be great days of grace for the world.
There are 12 weeks of the novena ending on June 12, 1999.
The Holy Spirit works in the Immaculate Heart of the Mother.
I am Jesus, how dearly I love you. I died for you.
February 23, 1994
Jesus speaks: Priests will create little cities, little cities in each church to spread the light of Christ to this sick world. Each priest can create his own little city, a powerhouse of God's love. God has all the power. His power is endless. It never runs out. It is might. You have no power except through Him. Churches filled with the intimate love of Jesus will be powerhouses.
Q: How do you feel we can better serve Our King and Master as a couple to help Him to be the King and Center of men's hearts?
