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: Our children are not our own. We are the ones that God chose to carry them. He has given us the responsibility to lead them to Him. If we can see how important the physical life of a little helpless baby is, and how we as parents must help the little babies and children to live and sustain life, we should be able to see how important Mary, our spiritual Mother, is to the life of the soul.
We must teach our children about their connection to God as Father, Mary as Mother, and that life is in God.
We can see the need for proper food and care for the child to sustain life, and yet we fail many times to see the need to sustain our spiritual lives.
We see the role of a mother bringing life to the baby as she carries that child in her womb, but we do not make the connection with Mary bringing spiritual life to her children.
Many of our children are becoming wayward in the hands of parents who failed to put God as most important in their lives. The children are a product of those that went before them and taught them. We do not realize that only God can help the children.
Today our children are, on a whole, deteriorating from the lifestyle being shown to them.
Today we stand on the brink of watching youth raised in a major way by a society that has made other things than God their master.
The children are a product of those who taught them.
The children are primarily the children of God
We have been called to deliver His word, His rule of life to them. Many children have been taught to be willful and disobedient to authority by the society of today.
Jesus, the Son of God, came to show the way. He did the will of His Father to His death on the cross. Obedience to the Father's will is the lesson Christ came to teach.
Today many children do not honor their parents. The fourth commandment, which teaches us about obedience, is to help us to obey the laws of the heavenly Father.
Mary speaks: I cry out to you, my children. A nation that did not heed my cry of Fatima now suffers from the deterioration of the spiritual life of the children of America, and the whole world suffers from the deterioration of spiritual lives of children.
I cry to you, for you will not listen.
The Father wishes little children to be obedient, humble, and loving. Little children must know their true Father in heaven, the One Who created them.
You are now living on the face of the earth, you will have much to suffer.
You will suffer for the children, the products of a willful race will make you suffer.
Only your prayers will alleviate the suffering and help your children and yourselves.
After warnings and directions how to be a nation, a people of peace, many have little interest in listening to anyone trying to warn them.
Your denying my appearance on the building in Florida has been an added wound in your Father's side.
He has allowed me as your heavenly Mother to cry out to you to help save the children, and you still will not listen.
Oh, children, the rosary is the humble children's prayer. You say Our Father, Hail Mary, you cry to your heavenly Father and Mother, you honor your God, you show your dependence as a humble little child of the Father and of me, your heavenly Mother.
Oh, children of the earth, pray the rosary as I tell you.
It is so hard to spread the rosary from my Rosary Factory in Florida. Will you help me? Please help me reach the world with the rosary. Help me reach the children in the schools.
Your Father is pleased with His little children praying the rosary.
Mary speaks: Oh, help me in this month of May, the month of your Mother. Help me spread the rosary from my image site in Florida.
Oh, I cry for you.
Mary's Message from the
Rosary of August 27, 1996Mary 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.

Letter to Schools
April 13, 2000
Dear Principals and Educators,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love! Amen! I am grateful for the opportunity to write to you about the School Prayer Program of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. We provide to school children rosaries, prayer cards, rosary meditations, books, and tapes. All of the materials which we distribute to schools have received the Imprimatur and are distributed free of charge on a donation basis.
Sample Rosary
We included in our mailing a sample rosary of the kind made by our numerous volunteers. It is possible to have rosaries made in your school colors. Please contact us if you are interested in this option or would like rosaries sent to you ASAP. There are many days in the month of May in which to organize a Rosary centered activity. There is still plenty of time to send materials to you. All you need to do is call our toll free number, and we will do our best to send the materials requested to you promptly.
Jacinta & Francisco
These are two of the three young Fatima visionaries who died soon after the apparitions of the Blessed Mother ended. The Holy Father hopes to travel to Fatima, Portugal in the month of May. The beatification of these children soon approaches. Perhaps you could interest your students in this story and find information about it on the Vatican Web site (www.vatican.va). The Blessed Mother came at Fatima as "Our Lady of the Rosary." She asked at Fatima that we do the following:
- Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary -- until a sufficient number of people make and live the consecration, we will not have peace in the world.
- Praying the rosary.
- Observing the First Saturday Devotion.
- Making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Internet Site - www.sofc.org
Many materials for use in schools are available from our Internet site and can be downloaded free of charge. Available from the site are Portable Document Format (PDF) or html files of the following materials:
- Consecration Cards (including consecrations to Jesus, Mary, & the Holy Spirit as requested at Fatima)
- Rosary Aves (bead by bead rosary meditations)
- Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual (prayers for priests and to help renew the Church and the world)
- Stations of the Cross, Rosary Meditations for Parents and Children, and other materials
Please copy and pass on this material to all interested parties. If you would like more information or any of the materials mentioned in this letter, please call our toll free number 1-888-211-3041.

Mary speaks: Please help me.
I want one place called Our Lady's Rosary Factory, that is my place in Florida.
I want all mail sent to Morrow.
Rosaries can be sent to Our Lady's Rosary Factory in Florida or shipped to China or to Morrow.
I love you so. I am Mary, your Mother.
Messenger: I must live in the moment.
Jesus speaks: The devil sometimes attacks you through others who try to shame you and make you feel guilty. You must try to maintain an atmosphere of peace despite any attacks of the devil to get you to focus on yourself.
I give you the Prayer for Union with Jesus.
You must do all you can to maintain peace and to focus on the Father's love for you. You must try to honestly assess every situation. If one comes in an attacking mode and his argument is filled with lies and untruths, try to remove yourself from that situation. If possible, discuss the matter later. Some persons want to have a victim and an argument. Sometimes you cannot respond to anything they say. Whatever, you must remain focused on the Father's love and try to do what He wills you to do. The devil is crafty. See My face. The devil will attack you sometimes through others before special Masses, prayer meetings, etc. The devil attacks when you are hurried, tired and hungry, under stress. He tries to get you off guard. When you are squeezed by an outside pressure he can get headway.
Always live in the moment.
See the Father's love.
Do not dwell on the past when you are praying. Pray with all your heart, and trust in God with your whole heart.
TRUST - Know that God can help you. Admit your powerlessness over situations you cannot change and trust in Me.
Live in the truth.
Live in the moment.
Act 3: 1-10
The cure of a lame man
Once, when Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the prayers at the ninth hour, it happened that there was a man being carried along. He was a cripple from birth; and they used to put him down every day near the Temple entrance called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from the people going in. When this man saw Peter and John on their way into the Temple he begged from them. Peter, and John too, looked straight at him and said, ‘Look at us.’ He turned to them expectantly, hoping to get something from them, but Peter said, ‘I have neither silver nor gold, but I will give you what I have: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, walk!’ Then he took him by the right hand and helped him to stand up. Instantly his feet and ankles became firm, he jumped up, stood, and began to walk, and he went with them into the Temple, walking and jumping and praising God. Everyone could see him walking and praising God, and they recognised him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. They were all astonished and perplexed at what had happened to him.
Messenger: At the 3:00 hour He died.
Death - Resurrection.
The paralyzed man could not walk.
The blind man cannot see.
The man that was paralyzed could walk.
He was filled with joy and life.
Reference Luke 24: 13-35
Messenger: This scripture accounts the way to Emmaus.
They did not recognize Jesus at first.
Jesus opened their eyes to the Scriptures.
They said that their hearts were burning within them.
The resurrected Lord is with us, He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. We receive His Life.
The devil wants us not to see the great gifts God has to give us.
He wants us to be bowed down. Many times we do not even see the devil working in our lives. We do not see things so clear, nor do we see the resurrected Jesus truly with us, outpouring His Life in the Eucharist.
MY VALENTINE FOR JESUS AND MARY
AND THE WORLDI _________________ give my heart to
You Jesus and Mary on this day

I promise to help spread the devotion to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Q: How does my deep connection with Our Lord keep me permanently united to you in my heart even when we are not together or with others?
