                R. Dear God help me to grow more and more in
                the image and likeness of God.

                    A portrait is painted of each of us and
                placed in the gallery of potential candidates
                for heaven. How does our heart look for
                the wedding feast of our soul to the bridegroom,
                Jesus Christ. We are here to prepare, to dress
                ourselves in this life so we are always
                ready to meet our Divine bridegroom – how
                is our dress – We should pick the most
                beautiful dress – always – for the Divine
                Bridegroom of our soul – Our dress is adorned
                with the whitest white, clothed in virtues and
                sewn on the sweetest fabric, oh beautiful soul,
                Jesus says, how I long for you to come to Me.
                Jesus has told us in His letters of His lavishing
                love and has given us so much love –
                God is love – let our dress of our soul be the
                dress of pure and holy love, picked out and
                prepared by Our heavenly Father for us to wear
                for our betrothal to Jesus, our beloved bridegroom –
                every stitch is a stitch of living according to God's
                will, of living in virtue, of preparing as the Holy Spirit
                prompts us to prepare to meet our heavenly
                bridegroom, our life a preparation for greater
                unity with Divinity.

                    Dear God help us to know Your holy will and
                to live to please You. Let our every breath
                prepare our souls for You. Come to us Lord –
                and possess our soul – fill us Holy Spirit and
                God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our   
                graced baptized soul.

                    The wedding of our hearts to our Divine
                Bridegroom is now – We go to the altar in
                communion and we receive Him, the Bridegroom
                of our soul – His love for us is beyond
                anything we can imagine.

                    He has paid for us with His Blood – He
                has proved His love as no bridegroom
                ever did – Our heavenly Father – So loved
                the world He gave His only begotten Son –

                    Why would anyone pass-up such a
                betrothal from Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
                Oh make us holy God – prepare our
                hearts for You – Let the bells ring
                for the joy of our hearts to receive
                You, our Divine bridegroom –
                What a gift.

                    Dear God for all eternity we want to
                live in our true home in heaven and
                be wrapped in the love of the Trinity –

  

The Bridegroom Awaits

December 27, 1993 - 4:00a.m.

Jesus: Dear child, the Son of Man waits and you sleep in the night. I wait for you and you sleep. You know I am waiting and you are dead in your bed. Awake, My little one, when I call. You must not give in to the desires of the body. I care for your needs. Your strength comes from Me. Jump from your bed, sound the trumpet and arise, for your Savior comes in the night to bring you a message for all His children. Ready yourself, for I do not like to wait. Get up and come, child. I am God.

I am He Who made the world, He Who makes the sun shine and the baby in the womb! You make Me wait while you sleep. Rise and run, for the Lord is at hand. God awaits you and beckons you to be attentive to your calling. Sound the trumpet! Arise in the night. I am He Who comes to you. You must harken to the call. Come pronto to My request and do not tarry. I wait and I wait and I eagerly want to talk to you.

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. Oh, child, I want these messages to reach the ends of this earth. I deliver each with such love. Will you deliver My messages to all My loved ones? They eagerly need to hear My words of love. They need to know how I feel about each one of them. They need to know that I am God. I love each child uniquely and My love is the love of God. What can you get on this earth that can compare to the love of God? You have a message declaring My love for each of My children. They are My love letters to them. Please see that they receive this letter. This is your top priority. It is a love letter to My beloved ones.

I am your Savior. I am not a myth. I am alive and I come to you. I wait in the tabernacle every day as a prisoner. Waiting and waiting in the tabernacle and who comes to be with Me? I await you, My children, to come and realize that God is in the tabernacle. I am Jesus, the Son of God, and I wait for you every day. Come to Me in your busy day. Come to Mass. Make ready your hearts and receive Me in Communion. I am there awaiting you as a groom awaiting his bride. I want to be with you, united in Holy Communion. I am truly present there, but which of you come? I wait for each of you. I am God. I can love you each so intently you do not understand. Your brother does not make up your love to Me. I wait, you little ones. Will you come and receive your love this day?

Ready your hearts and keep them holy. God will enter there. Prepare the way for Me. Do not sin. Do not lie to yourselves and tell yourself that some sins are of no account. Every sin is wrong. I tell you what is right and wrong in your hearts. You know the Ten Commandments. Satan tells you "but in this case, you are exempt", "this is out of date, you are allowed here." No, little ones, sin is sin and your heart knows what is wrong! Keep it pure. The more you lie to yourself about evil, the more right it becomes. Oh, how sad to numb your beautiful heart and accept the things of this world that are evil as okay. Evil is evil and you must guard against any evil the world tells you is okay.

I am the way, the truth and the life. When you abide in My ways, you possess the light of life. Do not be pulled into the world and its evil ways. Ready yourself for My love. I am as a bridegroom awaiting his bride. So pure, so white, so untainted she appears, just for her loved one. Her ways are gentle and kind and she is a picture of holiness, dressed in a white gown. Dress your soul in a white gown for Me. Keep your soul clothed in a cloth of dignity, a white cloth untainted by any sin, pure as the bride who meets her groom. Our meeting is with such love.

You enter My church, you walk My aisle. Your bridegroom awaits you in Communion. I am the bridegroom of your hearts. I come with such love to enter your soul. I am He Who walks with you to be united in Communion. I am Jesus. I am your true Love. I wait for you, My child. Please clean yourself up for My arrival! Think of My coming the day before and eagerly await our union. This is the greatest event of your life, union with God. Anticipate it with such eagerness, as the wedding of our hearts. I await you, little ones. I am God. What could this world ever give you that can be likened to God's entering your soul?

I am God and I come to you in Communion. Do you wait for Me, the bridegroom of your soul? Do you wait as one who is going to one's own wedding? This event far surpasses any wedding. It is you who are missing the significance here. I am here every Mass waiting, just for you. Get dressed, purify yourself, see the priest, go to confession, guard your tongue as the opening to your soul. I enter therein and you receive God, my child. Do you not comprehend this a little?

Read My words here. They are as real as the eyes you use to read them. It is you who blind yourself to all I have to give you. You do not reach with the things of the soul. You look for explanations in bodily things. To see the soul and the things of God you must reach with the eyes of God. You must be opened by the faith I eagerly want to give you. Beg to be open to Me so I can give you all you need to know Me. This world is blurring your Godly vision. It is hard to see through the mask of evil it has created. Every day the mask becomes more dense.

I am here, little one. You must die to this world to see Me. You don't need more of the world. You need less of the world. As the world decreases, your knowledge of Me increases. Take the mask off your face. Make your hearts pure. Pray to the Holy Spirit for His gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fear of God-all gifts that only He can give! Fill your hearts with the gifts of the Spirit. He will remove the blinders from your eyes and dwell in your soul. You will know a new life and I will become so much more alive to you. You, child, need the Spirit!

The way to God is through Jesus. You need the Spirit. You need the Father. You need all three. Pray to be made whole in the Holy Trinity. Pray for union with God. Pray for the things of the soul. When your soul is in order, all else falls into order. You needn't pray for things of the world. Pray to know Me more fully. Pray for unity with God. Pray for opening in your hearts. Pray for holiness. Pray for faith, hope, charity. Pray for knowledge of how to please God. These are the true treasures. All else is of no account. Don't recite prayers for worldly things. Pray for your union with God. This is what it is all about!

I am so eager to make Myself known to you. Our love affair awaits and it depends on you. I am here loving you. It is you who keep us apart. What could you find on this earth that could compare with a love affair with God, child? Your soul was created to know love and serve Me. It craves this union with Me. This appetite is stronger than any other you possess. You hold it back and make light of it because this world has taken God out. This world is messed up. I am God and you are a creature of God. You cannot take God from you or you remain only a creature. What dignity you sacrifice to remove God from yourself!

Prepare for the wedding of our souls. Your bridegroom awaits you. I am Jesus, Son of the one, true, God. I await your union with Me. Child, nothing you ever do on this earth can compare with Communion with God. If you do not behold this as something, you need to pray to know Me more. Go to the Spirit and beg Him for understanding and wisdom. Beg Him for all his gifts to enhance your knowledge of God. Beg the Spirit for His baptism. Let Him shower you with His life and you will become alive and on fire in your heart.

Your bridegroom awaits you. Prepare yourself for the wedding. Come, pure and white, and anticipate this union with eagerness. I love you so, My child. You will never find a speck on this earth that can compare with the love of God. Search, you feeble creature, for worldly satisfaction and you will never satisfy one little part of your soul. Your soul can only be satisfied by the love of God. It stalks your restless heart and is only satisfied in God. It craves God like an appetite except that it is much stronger. What is in your heart that is never satisfied by your worldly way? It is the soul that craves union with God. It constantly keeps you in a state of unrest, of searching, of seeking, of looking for more. The more is found in the Eucharist. It is the answer to the empty heart. It is the love you seek, but cannot find anywhere else. It is Jesus, child. It is your Bridegroom. Come and be in Communion with Him. He awaits you and bids you to come, pure in your heart, to the wedding-the wedding of your soul.

R. I felt as if there was so much I just did not understand and I was overwhelmed by the mystery of God. I opened the Blue Book to this:

Nov. 21, 1993:

Jesus: Oh, what glories I have in store for you when you finally see it all, see all there is to Me! Little glimpses I will give you. These are special treats of My love, but you, in your earthly form, cannot even handle it. My power, My light, My fire would blow you off your feet and you would be out cold.

That is how I am at your side, with a power pack like this, and you worry about a power failure? Oh, how silly, when I am with you. Trust, trust. I am here.

Matthew 22: 1-14

Parable of the wedding feast

Jesus began to speak to them in parables once again, 'The kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his son's wedding. He sent his servants to call those who had been invited, but they would not come. Next he sent some more servants with the words, "Tell those who have been invited: Look, my banquet is all prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding." But they were not interested: one went off to his farm, another to his business, and the rest seized his servants, maltreated them and killed them. The king was furious. He dispatched his troops, destroyed those murderers and burnt their town. Then he said to his servants, "The wedding is ready; but as those who were invited proved to be unworthy, go to the main crossroads and invite everyone you can find to come to the wedding. So these servants went out onto the roads and collected together everyone they could find, bad and good alike; and the wedding hall was filled with guests. When the king came in to look at the guests he noticed one man who was not wearing a wedding garment, and said to him, "How did you get in here, my friend, without a wedding garment?" And the man was silent. Then the king said to the attendants, "Bind him hand and foot and throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth." For many are invited but not all are chosen."

 

                R. We read the story of the prodigal son
                    who squandered his gifts and
                    went off and lived a life not
                    as the Father wanted him to live –
                    in the end the son had nothing
                    left and he was destitute –
                    so he came back and begged for
                    mercy from his father to take
                    him back –

                Oh the mercy of God –

                God wants us to use our gifts and
                    do His will –

                Only a fool would ignore the plan
                    the heavenly Father has for us –
                    It is a win-win situation for
                    us to obey and love Him and
                    serve Him and know Him and
                    to love our neighbor as ourselves –

                Dear God help us to realize joy is found in
                    our union with You –
                    Help us to be docile and open to the
                    hand of God –
                    not closed to love

                Come to me Lord and possess my soul –
                    Let my life be lived to serve You –
                    Help us to see we are here to prepare
                    our hearts to be more and more in
                    the image and likeness of Jesus –

                "Do you want to be healed?"

                God loves us so much –

                We must walk in the truth about our sins

                We must go to God –

                We must ask for forgiveness

                We need to recognize our dependence
                    on God –
                    not act like Eve in the Garden.

                "Do you want to be healed?"

                The Lord is our refuge and our strength –
                    in Him we find joy –
                    in Him we walk the path the
                    Father has planned for us –

                God has prepared a beautiful place for
                    us in our heavenly home –

                God help us to be as You want us
                    to be –

                Heaven is for lovers –

                God wants to make us well and strong
                    in the virtues – to live holy
                    lives.
                    Jesus is the Divine healer –
                    We see the parables –
                    We see the miracles how He healed
                        the sick –
                    We need healing – we have a wounded
                        human nature and we have
                        sinned –

                God we are sorry for our sins –
                    please have mercy on us –

                Come to me Lord and possess my soul –

                Dear God, dress my thoughts to be
                    thoughts You want me to have –
                    thoughts of purity and love –
                    thoughts of spreading the Good News –
                    thoughts of doing Your work –
                    thoughts of building the Kingdom of God

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.

 

 

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

 

                R. We see the altar –

                We go to Mass and we know God outpours
                    His grace –
                    We must be prepared –
                    We are ready –
                    We want to receive Him, the
                        bridegroom of our soul –

                We unite to the Mass, all day in our
                    Morning Offering – grace is outpoured –
                    God is love –!!

                Suffering can help bring down grace –

                We see people lamenting and crying
                    "Oh God has forsaken us"

                Is it not that we have turned our
                    backs on God and given into
                    carousing and debauchery?

                Who can stand pure before the King of Glory?

                Who can walk straight in the paths
                    of the righteous man – and rejoice
                    for he is truly the servant of God –
                    praise God for He is good!

                His mercy endures forever –

                Many men are locked like prisoners
                    in darkness – pray for them to
                    come out and tell God they are
                    sorry and ask God for mercy –

                All you who hunger and thirst come out
                    of your tombs –
                    the bridegroom waits –
                    His message is – Repent and
                        be good as your heavenly
                        Father calls you –

                God is all just –

                Sinners can repent –

                God shower Your forgiveness and mercy on us –

                We are sorry for we have sinned
                    against You and have done our
                    own wills and not loved as
                    You commanded us to do –

                Help us to be witnesses to You –
                Help us to walk in the Light –

                Let us sing of the glory of God –

                Dear God we rejoice in all You
                    have given us –
                    Help us to be holy –

                Thank You God –

                The Lord is Kind and merciful –
                    The Lord is Kind,
                    The Lord is all good –
                    The Lord is compassionate and loves
                        us so much –

                The Lord gives us so much love –
                    Let us rejoice for He loves us
                    so much and walk in the Light –

                Jesus is our Savior –

                Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Work of the Son

John 5: 17-30

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.
By myself I can do nothing; 
I can judge only as I am told to judge, 
and my judging is just, 
because I seek to do not my own will 
but the will of him who sent me.

 

John 3: 17

For God sent his Son into the world 
       not to judge the world,
       but so that through him
          the world might be saved.

   

                R. Sin makes us see with greater distorted
                    vision – we can turn our back to God
                    and be enslaved to sin –

                Repent – we must repent and tell God we
                    are sorry for our sins –
                    and beg for His mercy –

                The deadly sins are – pride, greed, envy,
                    wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth

                We seek to know more and more God's love for us –

                Song: I Love You Jesus

                R. We seek for the Lord – We pray our hearts are
                    focused on God and on His rule of love
                    for us – 

                We beg for God's mercy

                Dear God help us to be obedient to Your
                    will for us –

                The people made a molten calf while
                    Moses was on the mountain
                    and talking to God –

 

December 19, 1996 

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.
