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.

TODAY'S MESSAGE

We will try putting the new message each day in blue.
   

April 19, 2004

Messenger:        Dear Jesus,

                                Teach us to be holy. Dear Jesus we give ourselves to
                            you. Dear Jesus thank you for the retreat in China.
                            I feel so much closer to Him from the retreat, it
                            was so wonderful. Being with Jesus all those days
                            when He was exposed in the Eucharist. Singing
                            and praying for healing in ourselves and the world.
                            Praying to let go of inordinate attachments.
                            Praying to see our faults and to act more purely.
                            Praying to model our lives after Jesus and Mary.
                            Praying to have pure intentions for our actions.

Jesus speaks:          You should pray for purity in
                            your actions. Focus your life on doing all
                            things for the honor and glory of God.
                            Live to promote My Kingdom.
                            Live to love and do God's will.

Messenger:
                            From these retreats, I know God is opening
                            up a new realm of greater purity
                            for those in the Movement.
                            Next month is the 87th anniversary of Mary's
                            appearance at Fatima.

                            The retreat will probably begin May 11 at night and
                            extend until May 15. The official retreat begins
                            May 12.

                                It is important all come who can pray
                            and celebrate on May 13, 2004 the 87th
                            anniversary of Mary's apparition at Fatima.
                            These days of retreat stay with us long after
                            the retreat has ended.

                                I am living the principles in St. Ignatius
                            Spiritual Exercises. My life is being lived to grow
                            in greater purity, like Mary.

                                How would Mary and Jesus act? In our
                            meditation for 4 days on each set of mysteries
                            of the rosary, we read the scripture and
                            sing and think about the Mysteries of the
                            Rosary.

                                One set of Mysteries each day. So much to
                            meditate on.

                                The incarnation goes on in us. Jesus is the
                            New Adam, Mary is the New Eve. We model our
                            lives after Jesus and Mary. Jesus is our King. Jesus
                            is God. Jesus remains with us truly present today
                            in the Eucharist.

                                I feel so close to Jesus from being in China all
                            those days before the exposed Eucharist. What a gift.
                            So much grace poured out to us.

                                Jesus wants us to see the Passion Movie. The
                            Passion Movie is so much like the Stations Jesus
                            gave me.

                                I cannot wait to go to another retreat in China.
                            All retreats are broadcast on the internet. These
                            retreats have changed our Movement and our
                            lives. We broadcast the retreats live from Florida.

                                The retreat, the Masses in China, the blessing
                            on the 13th give us special gifts and graces.

                                This 13th will be a special celebration for this
                            87th anniversary of Our Lady's appearance at
                            Fatima. 

Messenger:
                                Today is my first mom's birthday. She died when
                            I was five, but I know she is in heaven and
                            I can be close to her.

                                When she died, I was five and I learned deeply
                            about life after death at an early age.

                                We take so much for granted, the gifts God
                            gives us — our moms and dads, the green grass,
                            the blue skies

April 19, 2004 message continues

Messenger:
                                We are trying really hard to get the rosaries to
                            the schools and the rosary aves and consecration
                            cards.

                                We are really pleasing our Lady in doing
                            this. When she appeared to me daily July 5, 1994 to
                            September 5, 1995, Mary begged, begged to reach the
                            school children.

                                It is sad to have a school ask us for rosary
                            beads in May for May crowning and we have to
                            turn them down because of no rosaries. We
                            need 13,000 more. We already made and sent out
                            so many. We have plenty of kits if you can
                            make the rosaries and send them to us. Call
                            Doris in Morrow. She can send you the kits.
                            We need them now more than ever.

                                Give Mary a Mother's Day Present for May.
                            She wants the rosaries, rosary aves and
                            consecration cards to reach the school
                            children.

                                We had lots of Rosary Ave sheets and consecration
                            cards printed —

Acts 4: 23-31

As soon as they were released they went to the community and told them everything the chief priests and elders had said to them. When they heard it they lifted up their voice to God with one heart. ‘Master,’ they prayed, ‘it is you who made sky and earth and sea, and everything in them; it is you who said through the Holy Spirit and speaking through our ancestor David, your servant: 

    Why this uproar among the nations, 
    this impotent muttering of the peoples? 
    Kings on earth take up position, 
    princes plot together 
    against the Lord and his Anointed. 

    ‘This is what has come true: in this very city Herod and Pontius Pilate plotted together with the gentile nations and the peoples of Israel, against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, to bring about the very thing that you in your strength and your wisdom had predetermined should happen. And now, Lord, take note of their threats and help your servants to proclaim your message with all fearlessness, by stretching out your hand to heal and to work miracles and marvels through the name of your holy servant Jesus.’ As they prayed, the house where they were assembled rocked. From this time they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim the word of God fearlessly.

  

Psalm 2: 1-9

Why this uproar among the nations, 
this impotent muttering of the peoples? 
Kings of the earth take up position, 
princes plot together 
against Yahweh and his anointed, 
‘Now let us break their fetters! 
Now let us throw off their bonds!’ 

He who is enthroned in the heavens laughs, 
Yahweh makes a mockery of them, 
then in his anger rebukes them, 
in his rage he strikes them with terror. 
‘I myself have anointed my king 
on Zion my holy mountain.’ 

I will proclaim the decree of Yahweh: 
He said to me, ‘You are my son, 
today have I fathered you. 
Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations as your birthright, 
the whole wide world as your possession. 
With an iron sceptre you will break them, 
shatter them like so many pots.’

John 3: 1-8

There was one of the Pharisees called Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, who came to Jesus by night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one could perform the signs that you do unless God were with him.’ Jesus answered:

    In all truth I tell you, 
    no one can see the kingdom of God 
    without being born from above. 

Nicodemus said, ‘How can anyone who is already old be born? Is it possible to go back into the womb again and be born?’ Jesus replied: 

    In all truth I tell you, 
    no one can enter the kingdom of God 
    without being born 
        through water and the Spirit; 
    what is born of human nature is human; 
    what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
    Do not be surprised when I say: 
    You must be born from above. 
    The wind blows where it pleases; 
    you can hear its sound, 
    but you cannot tell where it comes from 
        or where it is going. 
    So it is with everyone 
    who is born of the Spirit.

Stations of the Cross

February 22, 1995

The First Station
JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH

Jesus: My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and, through this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I love you!

The Second Station
THEY GIVE JESUS THE CROSS

Jesus:  They gave Me a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I felt as if My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little crosses, to experience little pains. I could not remove this cross from My shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through My suffering and death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day that you will grow in your life with Me. Oh, child, I loved you so much that I took up the cross of salvation. I love you. Please realize that I am talking to you here. To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you!

The Third Station
JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME

Jesus:  The cross was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up.

When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day I carried My cross. I wait with the same love that I had for you when I carried this cross and suffered such agony. Oh, how I love you!

The Fourth Station
JESUS AND MARY MEET

Jesus:  I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.

Mary:  As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!

   

   

The Fifth Station
SIMON OF CYRENE IS FORCED
TO HELP JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS

Jesus:  The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.

The Sixth Station
VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS

Jesus:  My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!

The Seventh Station
JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME

Jesus:  Oh, dear ones, the road became harder and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and weaker. My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as I walked. The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men! My greatest agony was not the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My heart for the love I have for all My precious souls. I loved them so dearly. I loved those who persecuted Me. Oh, how I love you!

The Eighth Station
JESUS MEETS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM

Jesus: The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!

The Ninth Station
JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME

Jesus:  I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle. Your strength will come from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for you this day. Oh, how I love you!

The Tenth Station
JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS

Jesus:  They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you!

The Eleventh Station
THEY NAIL JESUS TO THE CROSS

Messenger:  See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.

Mary:  Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.

Jesus:  They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!

The Twelfth Station
JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS

(Silence.)

Messenger:  He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul.

Jesus:  I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give you Myself! What more do you want?

Song: Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.

Messenger:  They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist. His life, death and resurrection live on in the Church this day.

The Thirteenth Station
JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS
AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER

Messenger:  His totally lifeless body was placed in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love.

Mary:  I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!

The Fourteenth Station
JESUS IS LOCKED IN THE TOMB

Messenger:  His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much!
