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.

Mary speaks: I give you an urgent message, America, my Church and my world. I am your Mother. I have authority as your Mother. On Easter Morning at 6:20 a.m., I ask all to gather and have the novena prayer service as directed by My Son on February 23, 1999.

I ask fathers and mothers to be aware of the authority given by God to consecrate your families to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

It is advantageous for both to join in this consecration. However, if one does not wish to or is not open, it is most urgent that all consecrate their families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Consecrate your dwellings, wherever you go. I wish all families, businesses, churches and schools to be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Pray that the Blood of Jesus is spread on your families, churches and businesses. If the parish priest does not wish to consecrate his church, you consecrate it, that is, entrust it, in your heart every time you enter and the people are there. Consecrate, that is, entrust, your priests, teachers, students to Our Hearts. Every time a teacher, mother or father enters a classroom or a room in the home, they are asked to consecrate the people and the place to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

What I ask for on Easter morning, I also ask regarding Ascension Thursday and Pentecost.

You must realize that you are answering my requests at Fatima. I wish all bishops to consecrate their dioceses to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I wish this be stated clearly. The consecration can be done according to the format that was given by my Son on February 23, 1999, which includes the Holy Spirit Novena, the Shepherds of Christ prayers and the rosary. Or it can be done simply by saying, "I consecrate my church to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart." The important thing is that it is done. It is urgent that you comply with my requests, my earth.

I further wish the month of May to be a month for all to promote the consecration and the rosary, and the wearing of the scapular, and the First Saturday devotion.

I wish this to be a year of the Sacred Heart from June until the end of the year, in which all focus on the intention of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the most Sacred Heart, that He be the King and Center of their hearts, that He will reign in all hearts and places on the earth.

I am the Lady of Light, the Lady of Guadalupe, the Lady of Falmouth, the Lady of the Rosary, the Lady of Medjugorje. I am the Lady of Fatima, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, the Lady of Grace, the Lady of Lourdes. I am the Lady of La Salette, the Lady Clothed With the Sun, I am the LADY, your Mother. ALL my titles will merge into one. I am the Lady of Mt. Carmel, the Lady of Perpetual Help; I am the Lady, the Sorrowful Mother standing beneath His cross. I am the Lady appearing in Clearwater, Florida. I am the New Eve; my Son is the New Adam. I ask that you consecrate your imperfect tainted hearts to Our pure and holy Hearts and unite in oneness at every moment in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being celebrated throughout the world.

You ARE A body. You are the people of the earth, you are the Father’s Family. The members of His Church are the members of the mystical body of Christ. He is the Head.

He will reign, you are His people, Children of God, of the Eternal Father. I am Mary, Immaculate, Mother most pure. You must come through my Immaculate Heart.

I will take you to the Heart of my Son, Jesus.

He will reign in all hearts. He is the King. I am the Queen of the Universe, you are my children, you must obey me.

He is the Good Shepherd. He has asked for your compliance to His message, January 22, 1998. I ask this be printed here along with the message of July 4, 1996, with the picture of Fr. Carter.

A message for the Earth from Jesus
January 22, 1998

I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.

Mary speaks: I beg you to comply for your own good. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son anymore.

His hand is raised. You are the children of God. I urge that you comply to my request.

I want this message circulated throughout the earth by all means possible.

I wish the men of this earth to consecrate their hearts and the Church and the earth to my Immaculate Heart and to the most, holy, Sacred Heart of my Son, Jesus.

I am the Queen of Peace, the Lady Clothed With the Sun, the Queen of the Universe. I am Mary, Immaculate, your Mother, Mary most pure.

I wish as many as possible to still pray 6:20 p.m. on Easter, Ascension Thursday and Pentecost as directed. I do not wish to interfere in any way with the prayer services scheduled at 6:20 p.m. by my Son at Florida, China, Indiana, and Morrow, Ohio.

I am asking you, my children, to come out of your tombs into the beautiful day of that Easter morning. I am the Lady of Light. The blind will see, the lame will walk, you will be transformed from fear to fearlessness. You will come forth and my Spouse, the Holy Spirit will come mightily to the earth.

If you ignore my requests here, I cannot tell you of the consequences for your earth.

I am the Lady Clothed With the Sun. I appear in Florida to lead the children to the Light, to my Son, Jesus. He is the Light of the World.

Who will reign in your heart, Jesus Christ, your most precious Sacred Heart, or Satan?

Sin lurks at your door. You can be master over him. You must give yourselves to the King, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You must tell God you are sorry and quit sinning. You must make reparation to Our Hearts. You are asked to obey the Fatima message. You are asked to pray the prayers my Son has given to bring about the Reign of His Heart.

I am Mary, your Mother. I plead with you to heed my requests for peace in the world.

I am Mary, Queen of the Universe.

to say to prisoners, ‘Come out,’
to those who are in darkness,
‘Show yourselves.’
Along the roadway they will graze,
and any bare height will be their pasture.

His answer to them was, ‘My Father still goes on working, and I am at work, too.’ But that only made the Jews even more intent on killing him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he spoke of God as his own Father and so made himself God’s equal.

To this Jesus replied:

In all truth, I tell you,
by himself the Son can do nothing;
he can do only
    what he sees the Father doing:
and whatever the Father does
    the Son does too.
For the Father loves the Son
and shows him everything
    he himself does,
and he will show him
    even greater things than these,
works that will astonish you.
Thus, as the Father raises the dead
    and gives them life,
so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses;
for the Father judges no one;
he has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
so that all may honour the Son
as they honour the Father.
Whoever refuses honour to the Son
refuses honour to the Father
    who sent him.
In all truth I tell you,
whoever listens to my words,
and believes in the one who sent me,
has eternal life;
without being brought to judgement
such a person
    has passed from death to life.
In all truth I tell you,
the hour is coming--
    indeed it is already here--
when the dead
    will hear the voice of the Son of God,
and all who hear it will live.
For as the Father has life in himself,
so he has granted the Son also
    to have life in himself;
and, because he is the Son of man,
has granted him power
    to give judgement.
Do not be surprised at this,
for the hour is coming
when the dead will leave their graves
at the sound of his voice:
those who did good
will come forth to life;
and those who did evil
    will come forth to judgement.

Mary speaks: I wish to state that bishops and priests have authority given from God to consecrate their dioceses and churches to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. It is then most effective and powerful when a bishop or priest does so.

Parents have authority given from God to consecrate their families.

It is the responsibility of both parents to see to the spiritual formation of their children. Both will be held accountable before God for failure to do so.

The consecration I now speak of is not done under this kind of authority. If one has no particular authority, the consecration is a form of entrustment where one places the Church. and so forth,  under the care of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

It is indeed the most powerful when one has the authority designated by God and takes that authority to consecrate the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart.

I give you the authority as your Mother to entrust the persons of the earth and the members of the Church to the care of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. It is within this context I ask you to consecrate your Church and your world.

Parents and clergy should do so with authority given from God when it applies to them.

I wish all the souls of the earth to willingly give their own hearts to my Immaculate Heart and the Heart of my Son, Jesus.

I am Mary, your Mother.

Messenger: He is a Light to the upright.

I pray that they will be one as Jesus prayed that they will be one.

Jesus speaks: My anguish is deep for this world, My child. It is as a man with cancer. The disease will destroy the body and it dies. Your world is infested with a spiritual cancer. I have allowed your children to suffer from the ills in society. You do not even see the trauma and effects on your children. You nurture and nurse, you love and comfort and a drug addiction takes the child. Similarly, the devil is infiltrating the conscience of the young. Before a child is very old, the evils in society grip him as a diseased cancer and you say, "What am I to do?"

My world, you murder your babies in the womb. I have permitted this to happen. Do you see your evil yet? Your world and your time here is so important to you that you have licensed yourself to kill an unborn child to have your way. My men, that baby in the womb is a human person created by the Father.

When My Mother warned in the March 30, 1995, rosary that the children would suffer, you did not understand how.

When I warned January 19, 1994 that sufferings would befall the earth, you did not understand Me, but you still ignored My warning.

When My Father spoke January 18, 1997, He said: "Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by this sinful world." "I am angered at your ways for they are not My ways, you have run amuck, you have offended your God. You have disobeyed your Mother and My beloved Son who died to save you."

Your children are suffering. A well-intentioned parent raises a little baby, a child, and the world seduces the child’s mind. Do you see a child on drugs and how he can be led astray because the addiction takes over and the child destroys the body and the mind, and many times - the life of the soul?

You see the drug addiction, but you don’t see the evil twisting the child’s center of truth, the devil working by making right-wrong and wrong-right.

I warn you. If you suffer enough, even the people from good families, will you listen then?

What is most precious to you? Is it your children? In the time of Pharaoh, did they listen after the plagues when finally their first-born were slaughtered?

America, your children are being plagued by untruths in your world and your schools. The Mother appears. When you have suffered enough, will you listen to the Lady then?

She appears, the Lady of the South, by the strip. It is covered by nude bars and sin. America, Florida, Clearwater, open your eyes. Do you see?

How vile is vile when your children are poisoned in the schools with untruths contrary to My word and the Commandments?

America, you are sick. My world you follow. When I send the medicine you shoot the messenger in the foot.

The answer is love, My children, the answer is love.

The Commandment commands that you love God with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and that you love your neighbor as yourself.

You are disobeying the Commandments and the Word of God.

Pharaoh and his people did not listen in the time of Moses. Egyptians were swallowed up by the sea. They went to the grave dug beneath the sea.

When your children are poisoned and lying dead in the streets, will you listen?

If a bus falls over with school children, you cry out, "Oh the children died!"

America, My world, your children are dying a spiritual death and you are not crying.

You see only the physical suffering. My children, your children are being murdered in their hearts and souls. This is far worse than a death of the body.

Sex before marriage is wrong, murdering babies is wrong. Taking drugs that abuse the body is wrong.

Block the messages I send, block the Lady of Fatima, pick your children up out of the streets dead.

Mary speaks: My children are going to the dead, help me. I am the Queen of the Universe, I am Our Lady of Fatima, help me please. I appear in Florida to lead men into renewal. You must do as my Son, Jesus, has told you. Do what He tells you January 22, 1998.

Jesus speaks: My message for the earth, show picture and message.

Mary speaks: I am Mary, your Mother, LISTEN TO HIM. 

Luke 9:34-35

As he was saying this, a cloud came and covered them with shadow; and when they went into the cloud the disciples were afraid. And a voice came from the cloud saying, ‘This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.’

Jesus speaks: I am Jesus Christ, Chief Shepherd of the Flock. My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me.

When a man has cancer, he tries all the possible ways to preserve his life. Finally, he is left with the final alternative if he is not cured -- he must turn to God or not turn to God.

Your society is affected more so than ever with the cancer of sin. You will suffer, then will you turn to God or not turn to God?

God the Father speaks: I am the Almighty God. You are the creatures. I am the Creator. I am the One with all the Power. I control your every breath.

I wish these messages of this day to be circulated to the earth. I wish them to be circulated extensively. You must obey My Son, the Chief Shepherd of the Flock, and the Lady of Fatima.

I am the Father. I have spoken.
