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.

Messenger: WE URGENTLY NEED FUNDS TO PUT OUT THE NEXT NEWSLETTER, PRAY FOR THIS AND FOR THE NEWSLETTER AND ALL INVOLVED. 

WE ALSO NEED FUNDS FOR PRAYER MANUALS FOR THE 75,000 PRIESTS.

Messenger: Our Lord has asked us to pray for a special priest and three other special priests and His designated priests.

                  Please pray for the priestly newsletter and for the intentions on the prayer list at the end of the message.

Messenger: Please pray for an urgent intention, spread the blood of Jesus on them, consecrate their hearts, cast the devil far from them, and ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

                  A second urgent intention is to pray for the mailing of the newsletter and all involved.  Please pray hourly if possible.

Jesus speaks: And My cry falls on deaf ears.

                         The blind do not see.
                         Sometimes a blind man can see more of the things that are
                             spiritual than one who has clear vision.

                         I ask you now to come with Me to the hill of Calvary.
                             I was beaten by the men I loved.
                             They did not see it was the Divine God they whipped.
                             I was treated with such abuse.
                             My flesh was torn.
                             My head crowned with thorns.

                         How many today are so filled with pride and 
                             self-righteousness, they do not even
                             see when they gaze upon a cross, the crown
                             of thorns I wore for their pride.

                         I will tell you a story. A man lived his life playing
                             the stock market, he was obsessed. All day
                             his thoughts were directed to the stock market.
                             You cannot even imagine the depth to which
                             he would ponder his dealings on the stock
                             market.

                         When he walked on the green beautiful golf
                             course, he saw money signs, he never even
                             saw the blue sky and the grass. His previous focus
                             on golf was losing out to his ambition
                             to play the stock market and win money
                             and money and more money.

                          He talked about his dealings, he read the
                             paper, books, the magazines, special
                             papers. He listened to the news, even
                             the weather was seen in connection
                             to the stock market.

                         One brisk morning he awoke and again his first
                             thoughts were of his investments.
                          A noted consultant had been helping him to 
                             make some of his decisions. He called first
                             thing in the morning with a "hot tip" which
                             could only result in a sure win and
                             money for the rest of his life, more money
                             than he ever dreamed he could have.
                             All the money that would give him prestige,
                             he could wear the cloth of a rich man,
                             eat the finest foods, travel all over the
                             world and people would say "Oh there
                             is George Smizer he is one of the 
                             richest men in the world."
                         He saw it before him, a kingdom, the glory,
                             acceptance, love from all because of 
                             his riches. He saw his dream, all he had hoped
                             for. He saw women at his feet and the fanciest
                             cars and boats, he saw what he had dreamed
                             and lived for.

                         He quickly made the investment. The more he
                             invested the greater the gain for it was a 
                             sure thing.

                         It soon came to pass that the "hot tip" was not so
                             hot at all. The stock soon plunged downward
                             as never before and the man lost all his
                             investment.

                         He banked on the gain and he suffered the loss.

                         Now where he had painted a picture of riches,
                             of acceptance, he became bankrupt
                             in the course of a little amount of time.

                         The company soon folded because of a competitor
                             which was a "sleeper" that discovered a 
                             new and better way in this modern world
                             of technology.

                         I tell you this story and another.

                         A man was a millionaire many times over.
                            He cruised on his yacht, he was a good
                            man, but he left a son in charge 
                            of all his assets to retire happily ever
                            after.

                         His son made some very foolish moves and had
                             very bad business sense - he soon
                             went bankrupt.

                         Where he had lived his life and worked hard for
                             the time of retirement he found out
                             without notice how his fortune had
                             plunged into the sea.

                         I tell you the story of a mother that spent her life living
                             for her children. This is good to care for them
                             according to God's will, but she was obsessed,
                             she did not focus on herself at all, she lived
                             only for them.

                         At a certain age about 18, one by one they left home
                             and did not keep a deep connection to their
                             mother for she had controlled them
                             and they wanted to be free.

                         The old mother now sits in a nursing home,
                             she is filled with arthritis and pain, but
                             the greatest pain is the grief stricken sorrow
                             of her heart because her children have
                             almost abandoned her.

                         Why do I tell you these stories?

                         Here is another, a man watches the television every
                             day when he comes home from work, he
                             does not engage in relationships, he sits
                             isolated by himself making the television
                             his god.

                         What is your attachment and how permanent is it?

                          If your whole house was in order, but your heart was
                             bitter and cold, what good does it do to
                             order all your exterior things.

                         I ask you to look at the picture of the rainbow,
                             at the end is the lighted image of your
                             Mother.

Jesus speaks: You cannot imagine the depth of the focus of some men on
                             worldly things.

                         A person can be attached to good things against God's will. When
                             used according to God's will they are good things.

You Are My Love, My Beautiful Love

January 12, 1994 3:40 a.m.

Jesus: I am the Good Shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. They follow Me. See that you follow Me. My ways are steadfast and direct. I am He Who beckons you to come from your bed and write a message. You are not worthy to fasten My bootstraps, but I come to you out of much love.

Do not worry what you are to wear or put on, for I will make all details available to you. You are will have many little trials, none of which will overpower you. Do not be affected by their distractions. They are distractions from Satan. I am your Jesus, Son of God. I see to every detail and I am guarding you. I am an ardent lover and I watch your every need with utmost care. You do not know how I guard you. You need to let go of distractions and come to Me, totally dependent on Me for your every need. I love your dependency when you come to Me for your needs. I know you are waiting on Me and it makes Me very happy. I tend to your every need. I tend to every detail. I love you so. Come with the smallest problem.

I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am He Who knows all things. If you want the right answer, you have come to the right place. Don't miss the golden opportunity for My assistance. I watch, I wait and I am hyper-vigilant for you. You come in your need and it pleases Me greatly. Be dependent on Me for everything. I am not telling you to do anything on your own.

R. Jesus, I come, I answer, I listen to Your promptings. I obey and then I worry if I read them correctly because what you ask me to do is not of me. I love you so. Please set my mind at ease and please let me slip into Your Heart so I am just a reflection of Your glorious love for me. Please let me lose myself entirely and become Your little child, just lost in You.

Jesus: I am Jesus, Son of God. I want you to be absorbed in My love, to be lost in My heart. Now you need to focus on this concept of being overtaken and lost in Me. Satan plants many little irritating distractions in your way. Remember, I allow all of these to strengthen you and draw you closer to Me. You are tested in fire and what comes forth is a product of My love. Little distractions don't amount to much, but it is in these and how you handle them that you are able to grow in Me and develop trust in Me. Every trial is a golden gem on your path. Look at them as My blessings and accept them as they come. Strengthen yourself.

Be of clean heart and wait on Me in everything. I am so close to you. Know this is your heart. To experience Me in this way and not see Me is a great gift of faith. Thank God for all the gifts you receive. You will not be able to experience Me as you want and this will become harder and harder as you know Me more and more. But your knowledge will make it so real that you will experience pain, but not doubt. I am indeed here, little one. I tend to the smallest detail in your life. Come and lay yourself at My feet and feel My love for you. Just keep coming in Spiritual Communion and coming for union with Me. I love you so. You are My love, My beautiful love. Remember this when you feel weary: I truly, truly love you and long to be with you. Come and sit with Me and be in union with Him Who loves you, this moment, to the tiniest detail. I love you.

End of excerpt from Blue Book II

Jesus speaks: And the deaf do not hear, the blind
                             do not see.

                         And I parade before you the greatest gifts,
                             My beautiful sky, My green trees,
                             the eyes of your grandchildren and
                             you do not come and smell the roses.

                         Some just don't see.

                         What of the blind man, this man is spiritually
                             blind, he goes from one drink, to another
                             woman, to a snazzy car and his focus is
                             on these things. His thoughts are always
                             focused on things that will give him
                             pleasure.

                         They took Me to the hill of Calvary, they spit on
                             Me, they hit Me and they poked at
                             My eyes. They made Me cry. My Heart was
                             filled with pain far worse than any pain of
                             My Body. These were the men I loved.

                         I call today and people's thoughts can be so focused
                             on worldly gain and they say "NO" to 
                             Me.

                         It can be the desire to be accepted.
                         It can be the desire to have others think you
                             are intelligent.
                         It can be anything that becomes a god
                             more important than your union
                             with Me.

                         If you lived to honor and serve Me alone,
                             If you lived to help save souls,
                             If you really had a vision in your heart of
                             the world being a place where your
                             children knew the truth and were
                             taught only what was right,

                         WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING RIGHT NOW?

                         This place is like a bus station, you get on the
                             bus and keep going to another place.
                         You have never arrived at your destiny here below.

                         Look at the Rainbow and Mary.
                         Remember the covenant I made with you.
                         Look at Me on the cross.

                         What is your motive?

                         You could get cancer today, would you continue
                             your life the way you are living it?

                         What about your thoughts?

                         You were having pains in one arm, you ignored
                             it a while, then you went in to the
                             doctors and they found cancer was all
                             through your lymph nodes and
                             in various organs.
                         What a smack in the face.
                          You thought it was some strained muscles or
                              maybe arthritis.                           

                         Now what are your thoughts about?
                         The doctor tells you, you have a few months left.

                         How can this happen? My house is dirty, the
                             kids aren't in school.

                         Those last three months will go really fast.
                         Do you know how short the time seems from 
                             Christmas to March 25 or September 25 to December 25?
                         It can happen that fast and you are strapped 
                             with suffering you cannot imagine.

                         You don't control your life.
                         You don't control your breathe.    

                         How focused are your thoughts on some thing that
                              has taken your focus entirely away from God?

                 Mary Jane had four boys.
                        One afternoon the boys were all going to a football
                             game in another town.
                         The car came out of control at them, it was
                             a drunk driver who had no idea what
                             he was doing.
                         He came at them at such a speed the crash
                             was head on and all four boys died
                             from the impact.

                         A mother cries, I did all I could and my son
                             died of an overdose on a railroad
                             track.

                         My Mother appears and she cries to you.
                         There will not be greater signs, you don't 
                             even see the sign I give you.
                         This is My Movement to circulate the Priestly 
                             Newsletter and begin Prayer Chapters and to
                             teach you how to pray.

                         I appear on the building with My Mother
                             and you won't listen.

                         Do you think that your Father will continue
                             to let you ignore such a great sign?

                         Oh you are so blind and some of those I 
                             call won't even help, they are selfish
                             and fight the messenger I send.

                         You have one life here below.
                         The moment is now.
                         You can't take your money with you.

                         I cry for funds for My Newsletter and the
                             Prayer Manuals.

                         I cry to you.

                         My Mother cries.

                         My Mother appears to give you this Message.
                         I desire My Newsletter be circulated to priests
                             around the world.

                         I desire prayer chapters be begun.

                         I want My rosaries in the schools in
                             May.
                         May is the month of My Mother.

                         I want you to honor My Mother in May and
                             pray the rosary every day.

                         I want you to anticipate the month of June and
                             think now how you can help to
                             spread the devotion to My
                             Sacred Heart.

                         The feast of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate
                             Heart are important to Me.
                         I want May and June to be months in which you
                             encourage all to consecrate themselves to
                             Our Hearts and you consecrate all places
                             of the earth to My Sacred Heart.

                I WANT YOU TO HELP ME SPREAD MY
                    NEWSLETTER AND PRAYER CHAPTERS.

                         Pray for the Priestly Newsletter, the priests receiving it,
                             the beginning of prayer chapters, the documentary
                             and funds and grace and all the needs of the Movement.

                                                    I love you, Jesus

Excerpt from Apostles' Manual, May 5, 1995 Message

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and Workplace
to Our Hearts

Message given through to Rita Ring

Jesus: I want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.

June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.

Today is First Friday. I want you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to you when you consecrated your home.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday, I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this consecration.

Gather your friends and say the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.

R. Jesus said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.

Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.

Men's hearts have turned cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.

You are to promote devotion to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart. It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life.

Offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.

R. He promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart and who tell others about offering reparation to Him.

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.

A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.

In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.

A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.

On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say: 

May God heal                     through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.

Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.

May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.

We believe with all our hearts.

After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.

May                     be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.

Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary.

Note: The above section can be printed out from a PDF file, and you can pray the rosary looking at the pictures.
