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:     My dear God,

                            So now I have a gold pen and I remember

                        the pen I wrote the note April 13, 1994.

                            Oh my God I thirst for a deep union with you

                        I want to be so united to you today and always

                        at every moment. I want this deep union 

                        with you. I realize more than ever the 

                        importance of the Shepherds of Christ 

                        Prayers in the Prayer Manual and how

                        you truly take us deeper into your

                        Heart as you have promised when

                        we pray them. I ponder                    

         the words in my heart that you gave

        to Father Carter.

April 27, 2001 message continues

Messenger:     I feel your arms surround me as I write

                        to you with this gold pen.

                I ask all my friends to pray for a very

                        special intention.

                I trust totally in you my God giving you

                        myself entirely wanting with all

                        my heart to help save souls.

                I want funds for this purpose to serve
                        you and pray for the priests,
                        the Church and the world.

                I want to reach the people in Africa
                        that write daily requesting prayer
                        materials because they are so thirsty.

                I recall the messages given for all those

                        weeks in September '91 and the beginning

                        of October when you flooded my soul

                        with the message constantly

                        "Feed the hungry".

                I know Africans are hungry, some of

                        the countries beg us for materials and

                        rosaries and Bibles and tell us they

                        will pray for us.

                I remember the vision I had on Pentecost,

                        1998, the big dark skinned woman in
                        the front and the small dark skinnier
                        almost naked people in the back and
                        the big woman in the front (out of proportion
                        with the ones in the back) twirled some
                        pearls in her hand, white pearls.

                As we approach Pentecost, I recall this
                        vision.
                The pearls were white and round like
                        a ball.

 

Matthew 7: 6

Do not profane sacred things

‘Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.

Excerpt from the June 16, 2000 message

Messenger: On Pentecost, May 31, 1998, I had 3 visions, one was a big dark skinned woman twirling her pearls in front of many dark skinned people, looked like natives from Africa, dressed like Christ as He is pictured on the cross (half-naked). She was proportionally much bigger, she had a big white loose fitting gown. I saw her above her waist. She was in the foreground, the others behind.

April 27, 2001 message continues               

Messenger:    I know this, God is speaking here and the more
                                we obey His simple requests and study
                                the messages, the more we will achieve
                                what He wants accomplished.

                Every detail has been worked out. He may
                        not do things the way we would
                        think they should be done.

               I submit myself as His spouse.
               I follow the lead He has given in these
                        messages.

                For servants and handmaids and apostles we
                        try to follow the rigorous prayer
                        schedule He has given us, but it is
                        not with pressure it is a guide to
                        stay deeply connected to Him all day.

                I try every day to Pray the Shepherds of Christ
                        Prayers and the Holy Spirit Novena.

                I try to pray hourly if I can even if only for
                        a few seconds, but I am united to
                        Him always in my heart as my spouse.

                If my focus becomes food or other persons
                        too much against His will, I am
                        not as connected to Him as I need
                        to be.

                This is not to say that I am not deeply connected
                        to those I love so much, but I don't
                        want to be attached to them in an
                        unhealthy way, there is that fine line
                        between deeply loving according to God's
                        will and being "slavishly dependent"
                        as Father Carter talks about in his
                        book Response to God's Love in Chapter 8.

                I attend Mass every day, this is a big part of my life
                        to go to Mass, once in a very great while
                        I have missed, but it is maybe one
                        day in years.

                A Shepherds of Christ servant, handmaid and apostles
                        must do everything they can to attend daily Mass,
                        we need that grace especially to do what we
                        are doing. My mother is 90 she cannot
                        attend Mass, but she is a Shepherds of
                        Christ prayer Apostle.

                A Shepherds of Christ servant, handmaid and
                        apostle and big donors need to spend
                        that hour daily before the tabernacle,
                        again a sick person or another person
                        with a special case, may not be able
                        to, but the grace that comes from being
                        in front of the tabernacle is so much.

A person that is sick and elderly or unable
        to get to Church can spend that hour
        at home and ask God to be there in
        a special way.

We always pray our Morning Offering, if you
        can pray the Shepherds of Christ
        Morning Offering for members, if not
        use one of the other morning offerings
        but offer up what you do for the
        Shepherds of Christ Movement, the
        priests, the Church and the world
        besides your private intentions.

I pray lots of rosaries everyday all through
        the day, it keeps me focused on
        all the mysteries. I meditate on the
        lives of the New Adam and the New Eve.

My life is lived to help save souls.

That is what being a shepherd of Christ is all
        about, it is about interceding especially
        for the priests, the Church and the world.

I try to write at least a short note to Jesus
        everyday and I read at least part of a
        letter back from God's Blue Book.

I use my Blue Book all the time. Father Carter said
        the Blue Books were as much his as mine.

He carefully discerned all of them and lived by
        the Blue Books himself.

When you are troubled or need a lift, if you
        open the Blue Book anywhere it
        tells you what you need to know.

I may be feeling troubled and attached
        to earthly problems and as soon as
        I open the Blue Book and read a
        line or so I am taken to a different
        place. I see with His vision.
        He lifts me up like the balloon
        on the front of the 1st Blue Book.

I am writing with my gold pen given to me.

Please pray for me.
I love you all so very much.
I feel so deeply connected to you in my
        heart and my prayers.

Do not be overwhelmed with the apostle
        prayer schedule, Jesus will lead
        the way.

Just be calm, try to go to Daily Mass and
        spend an hour before the tabernacle
        (or at home if you are sick or old or unable
        to get to Church).

        Pray the Morning Offering,
        Shepherds of Christ Prayers
        Holy Spirit Novena and
        Rosary.

 Keep your Blue Books handy, you may open
        them and read a couple of sentences.

 Try to get the daily message and keep
        up with parts of it if you can.

 Jesus wants you to be a Shepherd of
        Christ.
 We have 7 levels of commitment.
        (these follow at the end of the message)

I majorly address apostles, servants

        and handmaids, we give our lives

        as special intercessors for our priests,
        the Church and the world.

We didn't start out praying like this. Jesus
        guided us to this prayer life.

He will take you on this journey if
        you let go and do what you
        can.

Some Servants and Handmaids have
        come from a far (far places) because they
        could follow the schedule
        as I have given it and they
        were ready for their calling
        and are so fervent.
The internet is so wonderful and all
        the books.

Mary and Jesus are calling you to be
        a Shepherd of Christ from the
        image site in Florida.

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.

April 27, 2001 message continues

Messenger:     Here is a Message Jesus gave me and the
                            pen was gold.

                         It was the only message I received
                            where the pen looked gold the
                            whole time I wrote it.

                        Jesus wanted this message to go to
                        all the souls of the earth.

I Love You
April 13, 1994

Jesus speaks: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things, when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the cross.

Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never on earth know how I love you.

I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a Person and I love you this day with such an ardent, on-fire love. No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.

I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much that you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the Center of your life!

I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book on love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother, what more can I say? The rest is up to you!

I give you your will with such love and I want your love, freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!

Surrender this life to Me. Pray My prayer for union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.

Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Messenger: Mary gave a message July, 98 about teaching us to pray—

July 15, 1998

Mary speaks: ...Tell the children about their Mother. Encourage youth to come on Sunday to pray with me for their Church and their world. All the hours of the day spent on so many useless things. I want to teach them to pray as I taught my Son Jesus from an early age. I am their heavenly Mother, I love them more than any earthly mother. I want to teach them to pray my rosary and to pray for their Church and their world, I want to teach them to pray for my priest-sons. I want them to know about my Son Jesus. I want them to know about God and I want to teach them to be children of God.

I appear here to teach the children of this earth through my rosary and the prayers of the Good Shepherd.

I want to teach you my children...

...I am teaching my children through the Rosary Book - Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Many of the teachings you hear have come from my Rosary Book. Another book with short rosaries for parents and children will be used here.

I ask you to help me reach my children with this rosary material...

...I ask you to spread my Son's Prayer Manual to all the churches that the world and the Church will pray these prayers.

I am Mary your Mother. From my site in Florida, I want to teach my world to pray...

Excerpt from the Main Shepherds of Christ Page

There are seven levels of commitment in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

1. There are Associates who gather and pray at least once monthly as a group and also help with donations to support the Shepherds of Christ priestly newsletter. They can be tremendously involved. They give as they feel they are able.
2. Apostles are members who have restricted their apostolic activity to the Shepherds of Christ. They literally act as a body of lay people who have given their lives in their present living situation to do all that they can to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
3. Prayer Apostles are often shut-ins, some are able to go to church and pray. They spend much of their lives praying for the Movement.
4. Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus are those who spend at least two separate hours weekly before the Blessed Sacrament praying for the following:
   1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
   2. For the Pope.
   3. For all bishops of the world.
   4. For all priests.
   5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
   6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this Movement to the world.
   7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
   8. For all members of the human family.
   9. For all souls in purgatory.

      In that hour before the Eucharist they spend part of the time praying the Shepherds of Christ prayers and the rosary. The time can be spent with spouse or others, but most spend the time alone before the Eucharist.

5. Handmaids of the Good Shepherd are young and older women who have given their lives in community primarily to pray for the Shepherds of Christ Movement and intentions and to be special spouses of Jesus. Some have more duties than others. All have the primary duty of prayer and the desire to be a special spouse of Our Lord. One of the functions of the handmaids is their involvement in praying for and helping to circulate the priestly newsletter. The handmaids are not members of a religious order.
6. Servants of the Good Shepherd are men who live in community with a lifestyle and purpose similar to that of the handmaids. The servants are not members of a religious order.
7. We wish to form a special congregation of priests who will realize their great oneness with Christ. They will be consecrated deeply to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and support the Shepherds of Christ Movement as holy priests.

Whatever one's level of commitment in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, all share in promoting the overall goal of the Movement. This goal is to help in the spiritual renewal of the Church and the world. All the varied ministries of the Movement are directed toward this purpose. The spirituality which the Shepherds of Christ Movement presents to its members and to those outside the Movement through its various ministries is very basic. This spirituality is explicitly Trinitarian and Christocentric. Our spirituality helps others, especially priests, to develop a very deep union with Jesus, this Jesus who leads us to the Father in the Holy Spirit with Mary at our side. Our spirituality is deeply Eucharistic. We stress very much participation in the Mass and prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. We also emphasize the extremely important role of prayer in the spiritual life. Devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, especially consecration to Their Hearts, is also a most important and central element. We are very much interested in helping to bring the Fatima message to completion, a message which has consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary at its very core.

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. O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light. 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. I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.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.
