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.

(Originally requested in February 24, 1999 message.)

Ezekiel 47:12

Along the river, on either bank, will grow every kind of fruit tree with leaves that never wither and fruit that never fails; they will bear new fruit every month, because this water comes from the sanctuary. And their fruit will be good to eat and the leaves medicinal.’

Revelation 22:1-4

Then the angel showed me the river of life, rising from the throne of God and of the Lamb and flowing crystal-clear. Down the middle of the city street, on either bank of the river were the trees of life, which bear twelve crops of fruit in a year, one in each month, and the leaves of which are the cure for the nations.

The curse of destruction will be abolished. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city; his servants will worship him, they will see him face to face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.

Messenger: In China, Indiana, is our church which is our Center for Eucharistic Adoration. The 13^th of every month is usually held in China. A street goes down the middle of our property in China. There are banks with water around the property. One can hear the flowing streams sometimes from the church. Once a month we usually meet there at 12:00 noon for the Shepherds of Christ Prayers and the rosary with messages from Jesus and Mary.

The priestly newsletter goes to about 70,000 priests. The international mailing is mailed out from China.

There can be fire coming from His Heart; there can be fire that destroys foliage and homes.

There can be flowing streams of radiant grace flowing from His Heart, especially from the Mass. There can be floods of water that flooded the earth at the time of Noah and Falmouth in our present times.

The floodgates of heaven can open and it can rain great grace that is showered on the souls of the earth to bring forth great fruit, or it can rain damaging rain that will destroy fruit and homes, etc.

Excerpt from Blue Book II message March 5, 1994:
Messenger: When I received this message He was full of fire. His picture was glowing and His face was beautiful. He was lifelike, His face completely different from the one in the picture.

Messenger: After severe warnings from Our Lord for one solid month before March 22, 1994, a corner of the building collapsed at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

After two specific warnings of a big boom March 7, 1994, and March 13, 1994, as in Blue Book II, and a very strong warning on March 20, 1994, (Apostles Manual, PP. 213-214) the corner of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center collapsed. This last message March 20, 1994, was before the collapse. The messages Our Lord gave were to be delivered at what was called "Our Lady's House" or Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. They did not connect the messages with the collapsed corner even when it went up like smoke in their faces on that March 22, 1994, after the messages Jesus gave for one solid month were ignored.

The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. (See the end of the message, March 5, 1999)

On April 17, 1994, a video was taken in the courtyard of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit before the Sacred Heart statue. The sun was pulsating during the video as we were introducing God’s Blue Book I.

On May 4, 1994, I received a message on holiness and love which appears in God’s Blue Book III. ("I Call You to Holiness")

Our Lord wanted this message circulated on the Falmouth Farm on May 8, 1994. I delivered the message and they decided that they would not put the message out at the farm on May 8, 1994.

During the month of May they consulted another priest and decided the message should be released. In the end, before the printing, it was removed from the master to be copied. So it was not passed out on the farm June 8, 1994, nor July, August, September or October. At the end of the year it was passed out.

I was told on June 3, 1994, that I was not permitted to give my messages from Jesus to anyone but one person. I gave the messages to the typist and some were permitted to receive them at the 17^th meetings, but they were not circulated until the end of that year. They were circulated on a very limited basis. The first Blue Book had been released at the end of May, 1994. We would struggle and struggle from then on with enormous blocks in distributing the messages.

On July 5, 1994, Mary began to appear to me at the 6:30 p.m. prayer service daily. She appeared from July 5, 1994 - September 5, 1995. Around the beginning of September, I experienced tremendous problems from people concerning the messages and apparitions at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

On June 8, 1995, I went to the Falmouth Farm. I had received the morning offering for the Shepherds of Christ Movement earlier that morning. From the praying of this prayer by many in the Movement, great grace could be released to our Church and our world.

On the day June 8, 1995, I had the following vision. I saw a river and the riverbanks on both sides were lined with trees. Slowly the water began to rise in the river and the banks were flooded. And then I saw the water was pouring over the treetops (like a waterfall) into the river. The rough sketch enclosed is from my notebook on June 8, 1995.

Messenger: This date June 8, 1995, was the one-year anniversary of the message being blocked from circulation on the Falmouth Farm.

Mary appeared there to lead men deeply into the Heart of Jesus through the messages in God’s Blue Book and the prayers given by Jesus in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual. We were to support the Shepherds of Christ priestly newsletter, and circulate it to priests all over the world so that they would consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary.

Messages were given from Jesus, one on January 17, 1997, that stated the blockage of these messages had held up the steps heaven was taking to help to bring about the completion of the Fatima mission. On January 18, 1997, I received the strong second message from the Father. Note in this message what the Father said. He said, "I tell you to read the accounts of Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by this sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God."

On that same day, January 18, 1997, I received a strong message concerning the lack of attention given to the spreading of the priestly newsletter.

On January 19, 1999, I was given the message that heaven was immensely dissatisfied with the blocks at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center and the Falmouth Farm.

What followed then for me until the flooding of Falmouth, March 3, 1997, was a influx of intense messages of God’s displeasure and the desire to remedy the already blocked situation with assistance to follow the Father’s Plan.

Those I was told to contact told me the messages were not from God, which is how most of the other messages were handled. I suffered intensely with every message and the destruction at Falmouth. However, I felt a sigh of relief on that March 3, 1997, knowing that maybe then they would pay attention to Our Lord and help with the Father’s Plan. I had this same relief on March 22, 1994, when the corner of the building fell off after one solid month of warnings.

Miraculously, no one was hurt there and I thought they would recognize the sign after the warnings. Our Lord begged that they would listen to Him at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

The message that follows on March 6, 1994, was one of the messages that preceded the collapse of the corner on March 22, 1994 at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

Messenger: His desires are stated clearly. The message of December 20, 1993, was a message that was not immediately attended to because I was told it was too strong. This message can be found in Blue Book I.

In the message of December 20, 1993, Jesus referred to His letters of love in God's Blue Book as the mighty medicine.

Excerpt from December 20, 1993 - Blue Book I:

Jesus speaks: ...Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high! ...

You Hold the Mighty Medicine

March 6, 1994

Jesus speaks: I am the Son of God. I have such longing for My beloved ones. Spread these messages. I grow tired of telling you, with such emotion--and who hears?

I am talking to you at this Center. I am talking to you! I am asking you to spread the message. You cannot wait. The souls of your brothers are thirsty for this ardent love. They roam this barren desert and find nowhere to lay their heads. If you speak this message, their souls will be fed.

You are the light set on a hill. Your fire will be that by which this world will be lighted. I am talking to you. No one is getting these messages to you. I, God, am speaking to you this very day. What will you do?

I want all to know of the fire of My love. I want their hearts to stir and come to Me with longing and devotion. You busy yourselves and the Son of God is speaking to you about His love.

I want to shake you to My ardent, urgent cry. They are so thirsty for this message. It is the appetite in their soul that craves this ardent union with Me. You possess that which they are craving.

The soul searches this barren desert, seeking as with no other appetite the love of God. You have the mighty medicine for the sickness the world is inflicting on My loved ones.

Who would keep medicine from the sick children? The children who come to you are diseased from this sick world. They are My army. They need their medicine. Every day the disease gets worse. They are coming to you for healing. You have the medicine. It is not lip service about My love. It is emotion that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, loves them so much as to write them letters of His love. It is emotion, love, heartfelt, longing, aching love!

Nothing feeds the starved soul but the love of Jesus. The world is so sick. Like ripples on a pond, one soul madly in love with My Sacred Heart is a powerhouse. One soul, fed by the love of the Sacred Heart, casts a mighty bright light, brighter than any other light because it is powered by God.

Light their hearts. Light the city. Shine on this hill. Send them into this world as the beacon lights in the darkest night. You are this city, set on the hill.

I am the Son of God. I come to you every day. I profess My longing, My loving. You tarry too much. You play a safe game. I am begging you to get My love letters to My beloved ones.

This world gets sicker by the minute. To live in this world is to be under constant attack. They need this ardent love of Mine to understand the attack. I am God. I come to you. I am talking to you. You are the receivers. You cannot wait for anyone's lead. No one can tell you what I, God, am telling you this very day.

While you wait, your children are getting sicker. These letters are for all, young and old alike. These letters are for priests and nuns. These letters speak to them wherever they are. This is the mighty medicine.

Too slow, I tell you! Some are dropping over from the disease. This is a sickness worse than any flu. It kills babies and loses men's souls. They are dying from this disease. The world is sending souls into hell. They are dying from the disease of this sick world. You hold the cure. You hold the key to turn men's hearts back to the love of God. You have hand-delivered letters from Jesus Christ and what do you do? I grow tired. I am upset. I am aching. I am begging you to listen. No one will knock on your door and say, "the time is right".

This is your act of faith. You know what one letter does to a person. You contain a book. When will you be ready? I grow tired. I am so upset. Soon is not soon enough. My children are dying from the disease. My babies are murdered. When will they know of My crying for their love?

I am the Son of God. I Am God! I come to you. I talk to you. If you believed I was talking to you, you would listen. I will not make this any clearer. It is your faith that will get you through. You must develop your faith in Me. To give you more signs than this is to make you weak. I have given you just what you need to get this job done.

Give My children their medicine. My church will be packed. People will stay when I, God, am in their breast after Communion. God is inside of you and you run from the church. Where do you go for your answers? Where do you go to be fed? "Give us this day our daily bread."

I, God, come to you in the Eucharist. I sit in your body and you do not relish these sacred moments. These are the most golden gems of your life when the Son of God comes to you and dwells in your breast.

I am alive. I am here with you. I am God. I have spoken again and do you hear? I am talking to you at the Center. This is My place to change this world. I am giving you all you need.

I love you. I am begging you. Jesus.

Messenger: It was a time of great stress for me. I was awakened daily by intense messages of His displeasure. This continued until the corner of the building collapsed. The person who was helping me had told me I needed a spiritual director and quit talking to me when I began receiving the aching Heart messages. I was more or less on my own, coming and crying out, "Will you listen to me?"

On that March 22, 1994, I did feel great release when I had called out to Our Lord to help me and less than twenty minutes later the building corner fell off.

Mary speaks: My cry to you today is this, my children. The signs have been given and the Father has allowed me to permanently appear on the building in Florida. The message is the message I came to deliver at Fatima and the message is the message I came to deliver to the messenger when I appeared daily at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center as Our Lady of Light and Our Lady of Sorrows for those long 14 months.

Mary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My heart, my children, my heart to watch my Son, but my heart, my heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

^{(end of Mary's Message)}

Mary speaks: I come to take my children to the Eucharistic Heart of my Son, Jesus. I come to lead them to the Eucharist and to consecration. My Son comes to deliver the message of His burning love.

His love will be a burning fire in your hearts.

As you dwell in Our Hearts, He will live in you. You will shine like bright lights to the souls of the earth.

I appeared at 6:30 p.m. for 14 months daily. July 5, 1994, - September 5, 1995.

Now, almost 5 years later, I beg you to come together and pray for your priests and your Church and your world as my Son has requested.

My children, come to Florida yourselves. Visit my image. My children, it is a special gift from heaven for your earth. My children, I am outpouring great graces for healing in your hearts. Many of my children are sick, they need their medicine. The medicine is the burning love of the Sacred Heart of my Son, Jesus. It is His love that will heal their wounded hearts. Come and see for yourself. Come to Florida to be with my Shepherds of Christ apostles praying under my image for the renewal of the Church and the world. You can obtain prayer manuals, priestly newsletters, tapes, videos, books, etc., by coming to any of the three Centers of Shepherds of Christ Ministries in Clearwater, Florida, at my image site; in China, Indiana, which is my Son’s Center for the Eucharistic Adoration for the Movement; and Morrow, Ohio. You can receive materials by writing, faxing or calling Shepherds of Christ Movement and requesting them. Your life will change if you come with an open heart and pray the prayers given. We promise that you will know His life more abundantly alive in your hearts. I love you so much. Thank you for responding to my request.

Deuteronomy 10:20-22

Yahweh your God is the one whom you must fear and serve; to him you must hold firm; in his name take your oaths. Him you must praise, he is your God: for you he has done these great and terrible things which you have seen for yourselves; and, although your ancestors numbered only seventy persons when they went down to Egypt, Yahweh your God has now made you as many as the stars of heaven.'

Messenger: The floodgates of heaven can open wide and it can rain water that showers graces that feeds the hungry souls or the water can destroy homes and fruit.

Messenger:

SPOUSE OF THE LAMB

First Friday, March 6, 1998 - 10th Day

Messenger: My beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul,

The days go by with such swiftness, yet my focus is entirely on being one with Thee. The days fade in and out in shades of lights and darks, some days I receive immense insight into Your mysteries, some days I am left to tremendous suffering, wanting You so deeply in my soul and not experiencing Your favor.

On this First Friday, I recall vividly the vision of Your precious Heart I hold in my heart. I see it clearly, red and filled with fire, and I know the warmth and glow of Your sacred divine love.

Oh, my Sacred Heart, indeed, Thy love is most sacred. Yet even though I do not ponder as I should on the endless fires of love emitted from your treasured Heart, I have a constant awareness of this love which leads me to march forth in this battle of helping to win souls over for the Kingdom.

Little is accomplished if I nurse my wounds on those dark days and sit in a corner waiting for a great favor from You.

I walk those shaded days as You walked with the cross on Your back, but my awareness of Your Father and His plan for salvation is so limited, and I struggle tremendously as I am pressed on as I travel on my journey to the end of the day.

And then a day of glory comes and You look upon me, my Bridegroom, and give me great favors and allow me to have a day of resurrection from the doom and the struggle.

And how did He walk the earth? He walked it too, in dark and light days. Days in which they chased Him and wanted to kill Him, in which they called Him crazy, in which He sweat the saving Blood because of His anguish, in which He was tempted, in which He wept, in which He loved Mary His Mother and Mary Magdalene, in which He raised His dear friend Lazarus from the dead, in which He preached about the Kingdom to His followers.

Days of light, days of darkness, but He entered the tomb and came forth victorious in the end.

He rose to give us life, His wounds were glorified, the victory was won. His days were finally days of glory.

My Bridegroom, You give to me Yourself this day. I am one in the glorified Lord in the most intimate way. The banquet is prepared. The Lamb has been slain. Now we reap the glory of the risen Lord. We receive the gift of life in Him.

LIGHT and darkness. He is the Bread of Life, He comes to feed the starved soul with Himself. Our most treasured gift, our most treasured Friend, Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of our soul, gives Himself as a sacrifice that we will share in His life most abundantly.

I love You, Jesus Christ my Bridegroom, come and possess my soul.
