We pray Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

30 Years Ago

June 1992 - For healing

R.^{Dear Jesus,}

I offer You my pain for the sake
of souls –
Please come into my heart and dispel
all hate, anger, “poor me” and replace
with Your healing power of Your love,
please wash me with a bath of
pure water and fill me with
Your grace – help me enjoy my
present moments –
I have this moment and I let go
and give it to You Jesus –
Jesus I want to cry –
Help me let go of the pain –
Let go – Let go, Cleanse me
with Your precious blood –
drip Your precious blood on me –
on the person or persons who
offended me –
all in the past
ancestors who taught any way that
have been passed on to me.

Bathe our families in Your blood –
(siblings)
all relatives –
neighbors –
school mates
old relationships (people involved)
people at Church
people at work
people in the United States
The Church and the world –

God have mercy on the human race
for we have sinned.
Help me to let go – to love – to forgive.
^{Jesus:

Let go, Let go – let go.

R.

I surrender to Thy will,
I give You my heart and
I ask You to hold it with
the fire of Your love and
heal any scars and wounds.

Bathe me in the bath of spring water –
I give my day to You Jesus!!
I surrender and I know how
precious Your love is for me.

Jesus:

My dear child –
Think of the vast ocean.
See the vast ocean
Think of the water cleaning you
to make you more and more
holy and pleasing to Me –
Feel the gentle sway and listen
to the waves –
I created the ocean –
I give you the beautiful water –
I bathe you –
Know My Power.
Know My Love.
You are My precious child –
look at yourself –
created with such talents by the Father.
I bathe you in My love
I bless your children
My love is endless
I am the Almighty God.
Focus on My Power.
My Power does not run out.

Let Me work in your heart –
Your job is clear now –
It is to let Me live in you
and minister through you –
to those around you.} ^{^{Prayer for Union with Jesus}} ^{^{Come to me, Lord, and possess my

soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence

with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to

use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all

that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to

die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw

my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling

within me.
    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my

life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to

put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as

You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me

from Your work.
    When I worry, I have taken my focus

off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the

promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear

to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me

now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994}
^{Jesus: I am your strength
I hold your hand
I am the power.
I love you with the fire of My
Divine Love.

Recognize your pain –
Don’t stuff it
Forgive
Let go – Embrace your pain and Let go.
Be loving and be likened to Me
If one person upsets you –
you cannot give into that –
you must think of your mission,
do the Father’s will –
otherwise the devil can provoke you
with one individual and
disturb your peace.

Live to love.
You indeed are My child.
I will watch over you.
See the lilies of the field how
they grow
and who watches over them –
You are My child –
Much more precious than
all of these
I have bathed you in My Blood
I will bring you to a special place
of ownership of the land –
I am your rock
I am your stronghold.
You don’t go alone –
Express the pain – then let go –
Forgive - love
I love you.
I know your pain and your joy –
I have taught you in suffering –
I have led you to joy.
The Pain and the Joy.
You are loving and giving –
Let go of tension –
You know I love you.
You are precious to Me.
I have chosen you.
I love you with such love –
See the ocean.
Hear the waves.
I know your pain –
Let go to My hands –
Be My Heart to the world
Be My hands.
Love your brothers in the world –
Be My love –
My Heart beating in the world –
Be Me to your children

Be their loving mother.
I am He who comforts you
Be not afraid
though you walk in raging waters –
I will be there with My rod and
My staff and
I will hold you up –
You are held up by Me –
I will love through you –
I have put you on this earth today –
I love you, I love you, I comfort you,
I am He who is your bridegroom.
I love you in a special way –
Cling to Me
I will be there with you.
I am your Power source.
I love you,
                Jesus}}
