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.

Psalm 13:4-5

Or my foe will boast, 'I have overpowered him,'
and my enemy have the joy of seeing me stumble.
As for me, I trust in your faithful love, Yahweh.
Let my heart delight in your saving help,
let me sing to Yahweh for his generosity to me,
let me sing to the name of Yahweh the Most High!

Messenger: I remembered him as being big and strong, and yet when I saw him later in life he was not so big at all. But to a child, especially a little girl, a big man can be gruff and overpowering and you feel you must obey him, for he is a priest, a man of the cloth, the one with authority in our Church, the one who speaks on Sundays and celebrates the Mass. The man of the cloth must model himself after Jesus. 

We are as passing shadows in the night. Little children soon grow and some are mothers or fathers, then grandmas or grandpas. 

Some are clergy, sisters, singles, whatever. Every child grows and they follow this path or that one.

A day, a night, a year, a decade. To a youth in high school he may see only today and his future in this world, he may not want to listen to the voices of his parents who want to warn of the temporariness of life here on earth.

What is sure, it is indeed temporary, the strongest and biggest men are soon laid to rest in the coffin and the body is many times lowered into the mud of the earth, there to be at the mercy of the coffin and its protection against the earth that surrounds it.

I write as I am instructed by My Mother, Mary. Children today, adults tomorrow. It is the natural process of the Creator that one is born and one dies, but He promises us a life hereafter, one that is of the greatest splendor beyond our imaginings.

Mary speaks:  So what words should you speak to those that come and go in your churches and schools? For the words may be lasting words in the hearts of my children. A child grows, did you tell them what they wanted to hear? Did you tell them what would help them in their spiritual lives? Your words live in them as those of one having authority from God. 50 years later they remember what you said.

All too often your actions are clouded by the thoughts of others. All too often you act because you worry about what others will think of you. Will they like you, will you be popular? My Son's Church is there to instruct the children of the ways of God. It is not a popular little place where one rules because of how the people like him.

Does the priest care for the needs of the people? One must not think only of rescuing others. A person is in charge in church and school because they are in touch with God Himself and are given authority to tell others His ways. It is a big responsibility. It takes holiness.

In every walk of life the person must first work on themselves, be aware of God's love in their lives and ask for graces to be able to help others.

Do you know the school teacher that loves teaching because he controls and fixes everyone else and never looks at himself? He lives to correct others, but spends little time on his own personal development and spiritual renewal.

Oh my children, it is good to be under someone. When you are subject to authority and the authority is rooted in God, it is a great gift.

Some of the saddest lives of men on the earth are those that have to rule and control, who want the top rim of the ladder, with no one over them and who act in their own name and not God's name.  They hurt others.

Jesus speaks:  I give you these messages that you will be under your God, so that you will live as children of the Father. The one who cannot work with others will not grow in the more perfected ways of loving.

Oh my children, I ask 1 Corinthians 15 be placed here verses 20-28:

Corinthians  15:20-28

    In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep.  As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead.  Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him.  After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Jesus speaks: You are children of the Father and your heavenly Mother.

Oh, pray for your children, I cry for them, you are being chastised in the world. Your children are that which is so dear to you. Your children are learning awful things in the world because you would not listen to Me and Mary. I am allowing it. I give you the following rosary of July 15, 1995. I ask all parents and children to gather Sunday, March 26, 2000, 6:20 p.m. This is an important day to Me. I wish as many people to gather that day as possible and read the accounts from the Apostles'   Manual, March 26, 1996, accounts given almost 9 months before Mary appeared on the building in Florida. Click on for this accounting. I wish all who can to pray the following rosary for the youth and the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement. I wish the parts of Jesus and Mary and Messenger be taken by different people and someone to lead the rosary and songs. I wish the message of March 20, 1994, from the Apostles' Manual be read. This was two days before the building collapsed. I wish the account of the vision March 20, 1997, be read from the Apostles' Manual. I wish the rosary to be circulated to Spanish-speaking children and parents. It must be carefully checked,so that it is accurate. I wish children speaking Spanish to use the rosary and the rosary of March 20, 1997. I wish the account of the vision of March 20, 1997, be translated with greatest accuracy. I wish the Spanish speaking youth to begin Junior Shepherds of Christ Prayer Chapters and pray the rosary of My Mother. Pray through the intercession of St. Dominic.

When a child dies a physical death, all hearts are torn. Oh my men, listen to Me. Far worse is the spiritual death of My young ones. You just don't yet understand. If your children drop before you dead using drugs and sex and whatever, would you see how your earth and its morals are deteriorating and how it is affecting your children?

I am God and I sweat blood for the youth of today, NOW I AND MY MOTHER ARE CRYING BLOODY TEARS.  DO YOU NOTICE?

ROSARY MEDITATIONS
JULY 15, 1995
GLORIOUS MYSTERIES FOR CHILDREN

The Resurrection

1. Messenger: See the picture of Jesus as He hangs on the cross, His withered body dead on the cross. See next to this the picture of Jesus as He rose from the tomb on the third day, victorious and covered in light. See so clearly in His hands and His feet the glorified wounds of Christ. This is our beloved Savior. He came to this world to save man from his sins and to give to him His divine life. We see so clearly, in His hands and His feet, these wounds.
2. Jesus: Let the little children come to Me. My dear ones, let the children come and pray, pray the rosary. I am sending you children to go into the land and tell other children about the love of God. Satan is pressing so hard on the youth! The youth are so open and thirsty! Older people many times are set in their ways. Children are young. They can hear about the love of God and change very quickly. Reach the children and the children will carry this message for many, many years.
3. Messenger Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. When she got there the stone had been rolled back. She began to cry . While she was crying, she saw a man she thought was a gardener. It was Jesus. She recognized Jesus. She was overjoyed to see Jesus.
4. Jesus: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Always on your lips should be words of forgiveness for your beloved brothers, for I came to show you the way. I forgave all those who persecuted Me. It is in loving God and loving one another that you will have peace, joy and love within your hearts.
5. Jesus: As you are in your hearts, so shall you be in this world. I call you to holiness, I call you to prayer.Let go and release yourself to Me.
6. Messenger: Come, give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.
7. Mary: I see before me the starved children of this world, their skinny little bodies. My dear ones, there is such suffering in this world today. You hold back from talking about the love of God for fear of what people will think. See, My dear ones, see the men who will be paraded into the fires of hell for their willfulness. You must speak and tell all of the love of God. It is through these rosaries that I will touch many hearts.
8. Messenger: Jesus appeared to the apostles in the upper room. The first time he appeared, Thomas was not with them. The second time, Thomas was with them. Thomas wanted to see the nail prints. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." (Jn 20:29)
9. Messenger: We pray for faith. We ask God to help us believe, to strengthen our faith, for us not to look for signs and wonders, but rather to feel the Almighty God inside, His almighty presence within us.
10. Jesus: Let the little children come to Me. My beloved ones, I come to this earth to give you life. I love the little children. Their hearts are so pure and so gentle! This world is teaching mighty lessons, mighty lessons of evil. You must go out into the world and draw the little children to My Heart. I am calling you to bring the little children to Me.

The Ascension

1. Messenger: Jesus gave to the apostles the power to baptize and to forgive sins. It is through baptism that we are made children of God and heirs of heaven. We partake in His divine life.
2. Messenger: He lives in the hearts of men. He operates this day in the hearts of men. Jesus Christ came to this earth. He walked the earth, He suffered and He died. He rose on the third day. He ascended into heaven. But He leaves behind His apostles to carry out His mission in their lives.
3. Messenger: The Incarnation goes on this day in the Church.
4. Messenger: We are constantly being formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary to be more and more like Jesus. Dear Holy Spirit, transform us in the womb of the Virgin Mary, so that we may grow more and more in this likeness of our beloved Savior.
5. Jesus: There are so many pure and tender hearts in the little children of this world. The children this day are being taught such vile things! How people hold back! They do not talk about the love of God with reverence. My dear little ones, I am asking you to speak to the children. They do not realize that the children need to receive this message of love. They listen to the messages themselves and tell their children so little. I am sending you into the world. I am sending you to talk to the children about the love of God.
6. Jesus: My soldiers are mighty soldiers. I am fortifying them with My special graces to carry this message to the youth.
7. Jesus: See before your eyes a group of children with their hearts filled with the love of God and singing. Dear ones, the children's hearts are open and pure. They can turn many children's hearts to the love of God. For they have not yet turned off their hearts, not yet turned their hearts to hearts of stone. Go to the children and tell them about the love I have for them. Tell them about the Eucharist. I ascended into heaven, but I remain with you this day, in My divinity and humanity, in the Holy Eucharist. And I remain in the hearts of men who are in the state of grace, in a very, very special way. Let the little children come to Me. Do you want the world to change? You must reach the children and the priests. You are My soldiers. It is through your example that this world will see the mighty lessons of My love.
8. Jesus: Mission, My dear ones, this is your mission. You were commissioned in baptism to carry out My life, death, and resurrection in your lives. Will you follow this calling? I am Jesus, your Savior. I am asking you to go forth to this Godless world with your banner held high, with the love of God across your breast.
   
   Messenger: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, You are my beloved Jesus. Let us shout it from the highest mountain and declare it from the rooftops. Jesus has died, He has risen and He will come again. He is alive, He is alive, He is alive. He lives this day.
9. Jesus: You make things so difficult! They are so simple! If you go to the scriptures, you see exactly what I am saying. I am saying the same thing here. If you read the Acts of the Apostles, you see how the apostles went from town to town and many were converted. It is through your efforts to spread this love of God that many will be converted. Let your hearts be fervent and on fire for the love of God. Reach the children and you will reach the world.
10. Messenger: And He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven, but He left behind the apostles to carry out His work.

Descent of The Holy Spirit on the Apostles

1. Messenger: They were all gathered in an upper room, the apostles and the Virgin Mary. See the Virgin Mary. She is seated above the apostles (in the window). The Holy Spirit descends upon them in parted tongues of fire and their hearts are transformed from fear to fearlessness.
2. Messenger: They are filled with such vibrancy and fire that they go out into the world to preach the Gospel message, the message of the love of God.
3. Messenger: Let us meditate on the mystery of God's love. Let us put aside all of the distractions in our minds and focus only on His abundant love. He is outpouring to us such love in this room as we pray the rosary. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remains in the tabernacle and longs to communicate with us. He wants to be so close to us! I know what He is saying this day. He tells me He longs to be so close to us! He is the sweetest and most tender lover and He is waiting and waiting by the door of our heart.
4. Jesus: I call you again to bring the children to Me. Have the children baptized in the Holy Spirit. Have the children pray to the Holy Spirit! Children need to have the courage to stand up for God in the circles wherein they mix this day. Many children are Godless. Many other children are mocked for professing the faith or making the sign of the cross or saying grace. Bring the children to Me and teach them about praying to the Holy Spirit. It is through the Holy Spirit that they will be transformed from fear to fearlessness. As the apostles carried out the Gospel message, so the children too will carry out the message of God's love.
5. Jesus: Many children sit idle all summer and are looking for things to do. Tell them to come to the Junior Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters. I want this movement spread throughout the world among the youth. This is My movement to touch the youth of this world.
6. Jesus: Circulate this rosary on the love of God and the love I have for My blessed, little ones.
7. Song: Come Holy Ghost…
8. Jesus: Do not worry about the circulation of these messages, for I am sending to you key people to help you to do this work. You must remain fearless and unattached, surrendering and yielding. I am giving to you abundant graces to carry out this work. Surrender and let go and watch things happen around you. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. My youth will march on this world with hearts filled with fire for the love of God.
9. Jesus: I will give to you rosaries such as these for children to use in the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement. I want the children in this movement to have these meditations, to use them and to know exactly what I am telling them. I am Jesus. I will give the youth great graces to be drawn ever closer to My Heart through My Mother's Heart.
10. Jesus: Many are called, but few are chosen. I am calling My children to unite under the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement and to carry this movement across the United States to children who are hurting and in pain. Many children this day are suffering far beyond your realization. I am Jesus. I am begging you to be open to all the children I send to you and to tell them about the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement.

The Assumption of Our Lady

1. Messenger: Mary is taken, body and soul, into heaven. She remained on the earth after the death of Jesus. Now she is taken to her final glory.
2. Messenger: Mary remains as Mother of the Church and Mother of each one of us. She is by our side. She is with us, molding us and forming us in her womb, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to be more and more like her Son Jesus.
3. Mary: Go to the children now, My dear, dear ones. I am Mary, your mother. I am asking you to go out to the children. Many children will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. It is through your efforts to spread this movement, the Junior Shepherds of Christ, that these children will be saved from their own doom.
4. Mary: Little children's prayers are so powerful! I am Mary, your Mother. I am asking you to man the forces and have my little army of children ready and marching on this world with their pure little hearts and talking about the love of God. Children love to sing and they will love to pray when they know about the lives of my Son Jesus and myself, when you teach them about the Mass and the great gifts they are given. Give to children the first Blue Book and let them hear the personal love letters my Son is delivering to them.
5. Jesus: You are missing a big source of your power by not contacting the children. When children pray, there is power. Children joined in numbers are a vital force for spreading this movement across the United States. Your land is a land that is very sick. It is in curing the children of their illnesses that your land will prosper.
6. Mary: Think of the little children coming to Mass and longing to receive my Son Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Think of them coming with their little hearts and telling Jesus of their love. I am Mary, their Mother, and I want to rock them and hold them tenderly, close to my Heart, to rock them and cuddle them in my Heart. I love each precious little young child. Will you tell them for me? I am Mary, and I am calling you to reach out to the children.
7. Mary: Children are being taught at such an early age about sex, but they are not being taught about the love of God. I am Mary, your Mother. You must have courage to stand up and talk about the love of God. Think of how the children are being taught this day about all the vile things. People have the courage to stand up and spread such filth, but so few speak to the children about the burning love of my Son Jesus. How my Son Jesus loves the little children.
   Jesus: Let the little children come to Me.
8. Mary: I want this rosary to circulate among the children. I want you to encourage children to pray the rosary with these meditations. I want to tell the children how I love them with the tenderest, motherly love and how I am protecting them and guarding them and watching them. I am spreading My Motherly mantle over them. I am Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the mother of all the children of this world.
9. Mary: Think of how a mother loves her children. I love my children with the tenderest motherly love. Will you help me lead these tender young hearts to the Heart of my beloved Son, on fire for love of them? Many souls will be condemned to hell for their sinfulness and their willfulness. I am asking you to go out and to talk to the children about the love of my Son.
10. Mary: These rosary meditations and the Blue Books should be circulated among the children. I am asking you to carry the Blue Book to the children and have them read it so they know how much Jesus, my Son, loves them.

The Crowning of Mary

1. Mary: The soul was created by God the Father to know and love God. Nothing on the face of this earth will feed the starved soul except the love of God. Make it clear to the children that their souls were created for the love of God. Their souls are hungry. They need to feed their souls with the love of God.
2. Messenger: Mary was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. We, too, some day, if we love God and love each other, will be given a place in heaven far beyond our comprehension. We cannot understand the immensity of the love of God. Jesus Christ came to this earth. He was born a little baby. He suffered and died. He rose on the third day and ascended into heaven. He wants us to be with Him forever and ever in heaven.
3. Mary: The ways of this world are very evil ways. The little children are being taught young such evilness! I am your Mother. I am calling out to you to carry out this mission, for the children need to know the love of my Son. You will be given great graces to reach the children. You must know that Satan will press very hard to try to stop any efforts that you may make in trying to reach the children. I am Mary, your Mother, and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle.
4. Mary: If you instruct the children, as I have instructed you, on the lives of Jesus and Mary, they will love to pray the rosary.
5. Jesus: It is through the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement that I will reach the youth throughout this world.
6. Mary: Children every day need to consecrate their hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
7. Jesus: When you are tired and weary, know that Satan is pressing on you. You are receiving abundant graces to carry out this work. I will see to the publishing of these messages. You must release yourself and pray as you have never prayed before. Pray that the Father will answer your prayers. Pray in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, through the intercession of the Sorrowful Mother.
8. Mary: I am so sorrowful for the little lost children of this world, for the slaughter of the little innocent babies within the womb of their mothers, for the slaughter of the minds of children in many classrooms. I am Mary, your Mother. Speak out, pray for the courage from the Holy Spirit to speak out for the love of God. If this world can talk about so many vile things, if it shows movies in the movie theaters where Satan is coming out of the screen, my dear ones, you can surely talk about the tender, burning Heart of my Son Jesus.
9. Mary: Many young hearts will be converted and, in that conversion, the power of their prayers will be magnified far beyond your comprehension. I am Mary, your Mother. This is a rosary given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary on July 15, 1995. This is a call to reach the children in the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement, to bring them to my Immaculate Heart, that they may be consecrated in my Heart and consecrated in the Heart of my Son.
10. Mary: Tell the children to pray to my Son and the Holy Spirit for the courage to go into this world, for they are fighting a battle every day in this world and my Son will reward them with abundant grace and great gifts of His tender love. I am Mary, your Mother. I have called out to you. Harken to my call and tell all involved of my request here. I love you, my sweet little children, and I love the little children of the world. Let the little children come to my Son Jesus and let them forever rest in His burning Heart of love.
    Song: Little child, little child, come and rest in My arms. Be with Me, little child, I want you with Me, you are hurting, My loved one. I am waiting for you, come into My Heart now. I love you.
