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: Picture yourself praying as a body with everyone at all 3 centers.
Messenger: We are one in Their Hearts.
Mary speaks: I wish most of my children to pray at 6:30 p.m. I
wish you now to pray at 6:20 p.m. as Jesus directed
if possible.
If it is impossible to pray at 6:30 p.m. you may wish to pray at 6:30
a.m. (Now for the novena 6:20 a.m. if possible.) You are also invited to pray at both
times if you so wish.
The time 6:30 a.m. is very precious to me.
I want all who can to pray at 6:30 p.m.
Others can pray through the day if both times are impossible.
I am Mary, your Mother.
March 2, 1999 - Second Message
Jesus speaks: Many children are taught dysfunctional ways of
relating. How is the pecking order in your family? In dysfunctional families there are
unspoken rules establishing who is the authority amongst the children, who is the weak
one. Many times the weak one is blamed, held at the bottom of the ladder and is always the
one who is not heard or listened to in a conversation.
My children, I tell you of this working of Satan in the lives of many in
the family. An older child may be considered a "hero" who is accepted and
acclaimed. Another may be second-in-charge and another is always the loser, the one that
was given a role to be quiet and not heard, and many times the one blamed for the ills of
the family. The family is perfect except "Suzie". She is responsible for the
problem. Many families have victims, scapegoats, weak ones, whatever you wish to call
them.
The children in the family fit in their proper places. The family sees
that all live the role that has been predetermined by the leaders, usually the parents.
My Father gives all gifts and talents. In the Father's family all have
roles designated by God. He is the Master with the plan.
In many families, there is one who dictates, one who "calls the
shots", one who leads. There is one who follows, one who tips on his toes and
stumbles.
There is one who looks unapprovingly at another. These seeds are planted
in children when very young. In a dysfunctional family, a child is taught to be afraid of
authority. It is not a friend, it is not modeled after the loving authority of God the
Father and the heavenly Mother as it should be. Instead, there is a fear of an unjust
parent many times, one who uses authority to mold the family into dysfunctional patterns
of behavior taught from generations past.
I do not wish to dwell on the dysfunctional family that functions
because it enforces unspoken rules which force the children to learn abnormal ways of
behaving. I wish to focus on the plan of the Father.
There is in man a desire to be higher on the ladder. Eve sinned because the devil told her:
Genesis 3:5
God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.
Jesus speaks: Eve wanted to be higher on the ladder, she did not
wish to obey the authority, God, that was above her.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart there will be authority under His feet. (Reference 1 Corinthians 15.)
Jesus speaks: All will be in their proper places of authority,
serving God, loving as He loved.
Some today operate in positions of authority, but do not act like
Christ. They do not yield to God's authority above them.
There are also some who are not in authority, but do all they can to get
unlawful authority.
What good does it do you to control and get your way when your way is
not God's will?
All will function as one holy, happy family. All will be loved. There
will be the proper authority in place. God will be above the proper authority as the Head
of all. Those under His feet will operate in love.
There are so many problems in your world because of power struggles
amongst the brethren. If all were living according to the Father's will, they would not be
envious and jealous of their brothers' positions, gifts and talents.
I want a family as the Father wills. Today 72 year old men and women are
still acting in the Father's family in dysfunctional ways because they were trained to be
dysfunctional by their earthly parents' dictates. There are 50 year old babies and victims
and 50 year old heroes and kings.
In the Father's family, all must be respected and loved according to the
Father's will.
The question becomes, "What is the Father's will for me?"
From the first cry, the baby is taught his role in the Father's family.
The mother teaches a child of the loving cares of the heavenly Mother. The father teaches
the child about love from God the Father.
If the parents are not properly connected to the heavenly Mother and
heavenly Father, they teach as they wish or have been taught from generations past.
You have been put on this earth to share in the great gifts God has
given to men, living in the Father's holy family.
The family roles are to be such that the children see themselves in
their relationship to God's holy family.
The Church is to bear great fruit. The Church is to bring forth children
of light. The light was dimmed for the children of the earth by the sin of Adam and Eve.
The New Adam and New Eve come, Jesus and Mary. Christ establishes the
Church, she is the bride of Christ, the bride of the Lamb. Mary is Mother of the Church.
Mary brings forth her children of light in loving union with their God.
The physical family is not disconnected from the spiritual family.
The parents as they grow in their spiritual life help their children
grow. From generations past the light or darkness is handed down.
A family that has been deeply rooted in their lives in Me, Christ, the
Head of the family and the Church, will carry out more fully the commission given them in
Baptism to be My apostles. A holy family lives the mystery of My life alive in their
lives.
A family that consecrates to Our Hearts will live a holy, directed life.
We are the New Adam and the New Eve.
My life is outpoured in the Church.
The children come to the royal banquet table of the Father. They are fed with My Body and My Blood.
John 6:32- 40
Jesus answered them:
In all truth, I tell you,
it was not Moses
who gave you the bread from heaven,
it is my Father
who gives you the bread from heaven,
the true bread;
for the bread of God
is the bread
which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.'Sir,' they said, 'give us that bread always.'
Jesus answered them:I am the bread of life.
No one who comes to me will ever hunger;
no one who believes in me will ever thirst.
But, as I have told you,
you can see me and still you do not believe.
Everyone whom the Father gives me
will come to me;
I will certainly not reject
anyone who comes to me,
because I have come from heaven,
not to do my own will,
but to do the will of him who sent me.
Now the will of him who sent me
is that I should lose nothing
of all that he has given to me,
but that I should raise it up
on the last day.
It is my Father's will
that whoever sees the Son
and believes in him
should have eternal life,
and that I should raise that person up
on the last day.
Jesus speaks: I am the Bread of Life. You come to the table to be
fed. You are humble little children, hungry for My life that I give you. I give you My
Flesh to eat and My Blood to drink.
Many today are caught like little dysfunctional children in roles they
were taught in their earthly family at an early age. They operate very dysfunctionally in
the world and in the family of the Church.
Unless men pray for healing, pray to be acted upon by the Holy Spirit,
they will continue to act dysfunctionally. Some 50 year old men are acting as they were
trained when babies in their families.
But you say, "Oh, I don't do that." I say pray to know the
truth about yourselves. Pray to be laid bare. You have layers of rules from the ancestors
of the past covering you. Some are wrong. Give your children a legacy, break out of old
dysfunctional ways of relating.
Do you "fly off the handle" and do not even realize why you
act certain ways? The devil will work on every imperfection to stop you. In the Book of
Revelation, I refer to the holy ones. The holy ones will survive. Only through the
workings of the Holy Spirit in the Heart of Mary will you be holy.
Quit playing power games. You are children of God with a job to do. It
is to lead souls to My Heart so that I will reign in the hearts of men.
There is structure in the Father's family. I am the Ruler of My flock. I pick up My sheep and hold them tenderly to My breast. I am the Good Shepherd. I love them.
John 10:3-5
the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognise the voice of strangers.'
Jesus speaks: Do you want control? You must look at your motive
for being in My Movement. I am the Chief Shepherd, My shepherds and sheep follow Me.
All join together, pray together and work together to accomplish God's
will.
My apostles, Satan will work on every possible imperfection when you are
relating with others to divide you. He will try every way to stop you from doing this
work.
I tell you this to unveil the working of Satan in your lives so that you
will respond correctly when relating with one another. See yourself as God's child, see
yourself as being His beautiful child, see yourself as His servant doing His work. Do not
hold preconceived ideas of yourself, "I never win.", "I am
self-conscious", etc. See yourself as God sees you and act like His precious child.
Act like Me.
Jesus speaks: My beloved spouse,
I am revealing to you the workings of Satan in your lives so that you
will be able to withstand his attacks. I love you My spouse, this is My gift.
Falmouth Flood Card
FALMOUTH KENTUCKY FROM HEAVEN'S PERSPECTIVE March 27, l997 - Message from God the Father, received by Rita Ring: We have sent you great gifts and they have not been accepted and obeyed. What is left but to send you greatest sufferings? I sent My Son to you. He has given you the most tender messages of His love (Tell My People, Rosaries From the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, & God's Blue Books) to bring about the Reign of His Most Sacred Heart. You have not appreciated the gift we have given you. I gave you your Mother. She appeared and she warned you. Falmouth is an example of the sufferings that will befall the earth. I sent you gifts from heaven and you continue to offend and ignore your God. I will chastise the earth with the greatest sufferings. You did not respond to the gifts, as did the people of Falmouth not respond to the gifts given. You will now receive the chastisement that will cause you to sit up and take notice. Falmouth is a warning to this earth. January l8, l997 - Message from God the Father, received by Rita Ring: ...I tell you to read the account concerning Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by the sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God. ...Mary appeared at Fatima to warn you, the sinful children, how they were offending God, but you did not listen. The war (WWII) did not change the hearts of many evil men. I warn you through My beloved daughter Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is the gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you...Disobey My messenger, ignore your Mother, ignore the Son in these messages...My Plan will unfold through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am talking through these messages given by My Son and Mary to tell you how to accomplish this task of carrying out My plan. February 10, l997 - Message from God the Father, received by Rita Ring: ...Nowhere in the human history of man have I revealed and given such gifts as I have given to you in your movement (Shepherds of Christ). The plot is the same as the plot at the Holy Spirit Center and the Falmouth Farm. I am displeased, I am angered to address this issue any further. I am the Father. I have spoken. …Satan has created this confusion because of the importance of the l3th (prayer meetings) and the completion of the Fatima Message. Nowhere, have I been so greatly offended, when I have given such gifts which ended in the Falmouth Farm being a (spiritual) disaster ...many souls are being lost. March 3, 1997 - Falmouth floods when the Licking River overflows its banks and entire town is swamped. It is the town hardest hit by the flooding. April l0, l997- Message from God the Father, received by Rita Ring: You must release this information. …I am asking the faithful to begin prayer chapters, centered in consecration, and praying the rosary… Lastly, but of major importance to the renewal of the Church and the world, I am asking that the Priestly Newsletter be made available in abundance, that the apostles spread these newsletters to the priests and encourage them to read them. I am asking the Priestly Newsletter Book be published as soon as possible and circulated to all priests and bishops in the United States. I am the Father. You must pray as never before and join in one mind and one heart... For more information call Shepherds of Christ toll free at 1-888-211-3041.

John 17:20-26
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.
March 2, 1994
At Cathedral After Communion
Jesus speaks: I want you to love Me as I love you. If I asked you to lay down your life for Me, you would give this freely of yourself. I need this surrender from you that you put Me above all things--not some things, all things. I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any gods before Me--not your husband, your children, your life, your house. I want your total surrender! I am not asking you to give these things up. I am asking you to love Me more than any of these things, that you are willing to give them up for Me!
This is freedom. When your love is for Me and Me alone, no one has any control over you. You live for Me and I am Almighty. I love you with the most ardent love and you know all that comes from Me is from Him Who laid down His life for you.
Do you love Me? Would you lay your life down for Me? If you love, you give of yourself. Do you love each other? Do you give of yourself to one another or do you have relationships that give to you? This is not love. Love gives from the heart. Love is for the good of the other. I gave My life for you that you might live. Follow the Master. I did not die for any of My own gratifications, I died to show you how I loved you! I gave My only life for you. I love you this much!
I call you to love. Love is action from your heart. Do you love Me this way or do you just do busy work and call it love?
To learn about love you must come and be with Me. Sit and let Me teach you My ways. I sit with My red garb, covering My white tunic, you at My feet and I teach you ever so sweetly each day. You are My beloved ones. I died for you. I give you this same love today. Love gives to the other. Do you give this kind of love to Me and your brother or do you ask what others and I will give to you?
You do not know love if you do not come and you are not taught by Me. I am the author of love. I teach the mighty lessons of love. I died out of love for you.
You cannot love intimately if you hold back. To love Me, you must totally surrender, surrender all you hold on to. People do not love Me because they want to hold back. If you want intimacy with Me, you must be willing to surrender your all to Me.
Are you willing to do this? This is where the power is. When you give your all, I possess your soul and I am all powerful. I want your all, not little pieces you stingily let go of. I want your all. Then you will have an intimate union with God. Then you will live in His love and be powered by His might. Then you will be free. I will operate you and you will be united to Me as one. What power, God dwelling within your breast and acting from your soul! Become selfless and unattached to anything. I am God and you shall not have any gods before Me!
Jesus speaks: Review Daily Message, January 23, 1999 about control.
Q: How do you feel we can create a family as the Father wishes?
Q: How can we help to create relationships in our lives and in the Church like the Father wants?
