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.

Jesus speaks: Some are so busy they can’t even stop to focus on God. They are pushing their way around like a "bull in a china shop" trying to get ahead and promote themselves.

I am watching you, your Father is watching the earth. What a mess, sin so filled with guile, so deep rooted. I am watching you, My children.

What will it take to awaken you to know your God is displeased, fed up with your disobedience and your ways?

I am truly present in the Eucharist and I am ignored.

Messenger: I saw the empty tabernacle today with the door open. It was at Mass when they take the Eucharist to the altar to give to the people.

I couldn’t help but wonder if the Eucharist was unavailable, if many churches were left without It, would they notice?

Our prayers at Mass are helping to release grace on the earth. I pray to God to forgive us for our sins. I feel sometimes I am bleeding inside. I want the souls to be saved so much. I cry inside from the deep connection I feel with Mary’s children, and my burning desire is to teach them with the truth. My heart hurts so. I feel as if I have a stigmata in my heart, for I know from the grace He gives me of His overwhelming desire to save souls, His great desire to reach them. I know His anguish He suffered in the garden because men would not listen, would not obey, and would suffer the consequences.

Obedience is needed, not willfulness, obedience to the Church, following the doctrines the Church teaches to the letter of the law. The Pope is our teacher. We must follow the writings given from our Church no matter how some veer. Even some priests  do not act as they should. I heard a story of one priest who took a rosary away from a woman and told her not to pray it. The priest has authority, but authority comes from above, following a chain to the top, to Jesus Christ and the Father.

We do not, ever, have authority at the top of our head. It comes down from God.

All will be under Him. This will happen in the reign of the Sacred Heart. We must be humble and obedient.

I am a messenger from God, I deliver this message to you. I plead my loyalty to the Church. I love the Catholic Church. I love our beloved priests. I want to pray for them and treasure them. I would not like to see an empty tabernacle with door open and nothing in it. Our society is reflected in the fact that fewer and fewer men and women are entering the religious life.

Our God is so great. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Oh My God, help us with our mission. I cherish and adore You and love the gift of the Eucharist. I am so grateful for our beloved Church. I love my faith. God, my pleading prayer is that you saturate me more and more with Your grace and fill me with Your divine wisdom. I want to know You more and more and more.

I know this oneness between the Father and Son more and more. I am permeated with this burning love. I know the Holy Spirit as the love that exists between Father and Son.

What love God has for us to give us His Son He loves so much as a sacrifice. What a gift given back to Him for our sins. I want Him. I want to tell the world of the greatness of the Lord. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are truly with us. They dwell in us in a special way when we are in the state of grace.

Oh, my God, help me to reach the world with the message of Your goodness and Your love.

I love You, I love You, I love You Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Come and dwell in my soul most abundantly.

The passers-by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, ‘Aha! So you would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days! Then save yourself; come down from the cross!’ The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words, ‘He saved others, he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.’ Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.

Messenger: He was handed over for our sins that we would be saved.

Jesus speaks: Men, ask your heavenly Father to have mercy on you. Plead for grace and mercy. I died for you that you would be saved.

Messenger: My beloved Jesus, I write as You have instructed.

Jesus speaks: I write to you of Holy Mother the Church. The Church is given as My instrument through which grace flows to the world. The Church is the authority. Because of the sin of Adam and Eve, evil entered the world. The human natures of the children of Eve are tainted. There is that tendency in the nature to want to be equal to God, to know more than God, to not follow God’s will, to not be under Him.

The struggle is there in every man to be on the top.

1 Corinthians 15:20-25

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool,

Jesus speaks: The struggle will continue. As a parent struggles with a willful child who wishes to be over him, the Church struggles with some willful priests at parishes, etc., that wish to have more authority than the Church. The dictates are set down and must be followed.

A parent has a responsibility before God to tell the children about God and to see they obey. There is always that struggle in men to be on the top.

In the consecration to Our Hearts, the willful tainted natures are more fully protected against the willfulness of Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve did their own will. The New Adam, the New Eve do the will of the Father. To My death on the cross, I did My Father’s will.

You see the struggle in every business, in every church, in every school. Authority comes from God.

The more the place and the hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts, the more all there will function according to the Father’s will.

Jesus speaks: There is one will, it is My Father’s will. There is one truth, it is TRUTH found in Me. There is one way, one truth, life is found in Me.

There is not true life that is separate from Me, it is mere existence.

In the reign of the Sacred Heart, all will obey. You will be able to trust all men, you will not worry what others think. They will be thinking loving thoughts toward one another, they will not be judging, making themselves above and others down. It is not your job to judge, it is your job to search for the truth, embrace it, live by it.

Because sin has entered the world, you must question. You cannot trust everyone. You must seek the truth and what is right. The world is way off, the truth is twisted. Some have veered so far from the truth. Children are being taught untruths about the Scripture. The devil is teaching men they do not have to obey the Commandments.

The devil says, "Oh, why would God say that, question God, rationalize what you think is truth for you, find your own center of truth." And what happens is you veer further and further from the truth. But, My children, the ills exist in the society. The child comes home pregnant and on drugs. Your own child, the one you nurtured and raised, has an abortion and you are horrified. Your society is teaching your children some very sick lessons and your children are the product of the sickness. I am allowing this. You have ignored your Mother, the Lady of Fatima. Churches, schools and families must consecrate their hearts to Our pure and sinless Hearts. You are a fallen race, you have veered from the truth, you are the children of Adam and Eve. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE. In My Heart and the Heart of My Mother, the New Adam, the New Eve, you will live more fully in the Father’s will, with one will in peace and harmony. There aren’t 50 different wills, or 500 different wills.

There is one Creator, you are the creatures, the Plan is His, the life is given in Him. You are given free wills in order to love. What is love if it is controlled? You are given free wills to be obedient children and obey the Commandments and My word.

The children have turned their ways to dark deeds. I am God, I am the Light, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I am Jesus. I come victorious.

I come to save men from their sins. They willfully do their own things. 

You must see the BIG PICTURE.

			ONE WILL
ADAM AND EVE own will	NEW ADAM AND NEW EVE GOD'S WILL	Sacrifice of Calvary made sacramentally present at Mass paid the price for the sinful race	REIGN of SACRED HEART TRIUMPH of IMMACULATE HEART

Jesus speaks: The rosary is the meditation on Our lives, the lives of the New Adam, the New Eve.

It ends with the mystery, Mary Queen of Heaven and Earth.

It begins with the Incarnation.

The Incarnation goes on in you as you are formed more and more in My image and likeness in the spiritual womb of your Mother, the New Eve.

And from My side, My pierced Heart, the Church was born.

Grace flows copiously to the children of Adam and Eve through the Mass and the Sacraments, the Eucharistic Sacrifice being the center of the life that flows in the Church.

A SIN	A SACRIFICE	A SACRAMENT	LUCIA'S VISION
			1929

Jesus speaks: My Mother appeared at Fatima to tell you the way to peace.

When the grace flows copiously from the hands of consecrated priests, as never before the floodgates of heaven will open and the thirsty earth will be watered and the children will wake from their slumbering sleep and see. The scales will fall from their eyes and they will not worship other gods.

Anything is a god that is put before your God, your Maker, your Creator, the One Who gives you life.

The Ten Commandments:

1. I, the LORD, am your God. You shall have no other gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the LORD, your God, in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the sabbath day.
4. Honor your father and your mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Jesus speaks: I give you life. I rose from the dead, that you men walking in darkness will come out of your tombs and live.

Come out of your tombs. Come out of your tombs. Life is found in Me. I am the Bread of Life. Life is in My word and in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. You must unite in this Sacrifice every moment of the day. Unite through your Morning Offering in the Masses being celebrated around the world.

I am the Vine, you are the branches, all who live in Me will bear great fruit.

I am the Tree of Life. I am God. I am the Sacrifice, life flows copiously through the Eucharistic Sacrifice. The more identified you are with Me, the more pure your sacrifice. Consecration to Our Hearts takes you into the depth of union with Me.

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. I AM GOD.

Please review message, February 23, 1999, and pray the novena which will end this set of novenas on the two Feasts of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. You must pray as I have instructed you, praying to the Holy Spirit for a special coming, praying the rosary and praying My prayers for My priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual)

I BEG YOU TO HELP ME TO SPREAD THE PRIESTLY NEWSLETTER TO PRIESTS AND TO BEGIN PRAYER CHAPTERS. I BEG YOU TO REACH THE EARTH WITH THE CONSECRATION.

I WANT TO BE KING AND CENTER OF ALL HEARTS.

I AM THE NEW ADAM, MY MOTHER IS THE NEW EVE.

I COME TO GIVE YOU LIFE, THAT YOU WILL HAVE IT MOST ABUNDANTLY. I AM JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

Jesus speaks: AMEN.

God the Father speaks: How could My children be so willful? Some do not know that all life comes from God. Some do not see Me as their Creator. Some think they are independent of God.

My children, My children, I cry to thee to obey Me. I cry to thee to stop before it is too late for so many. Souls are being led astray today. They are your children. My children, obey your God. You are children of God, you are not autonomous, You are MY CHILDREN, children of Mary.

Mary speaks: My children, please, please consecrate your hearts to Our Hearts with your children. The devil will try to block this. My parents, do not get into arguments with your children. Do not speak until you have consecrated your hearts with them. Teach them to do this at an early age. Consecrate your hearts with them after school. Parents, consecrate your child’s school, all teachers and students there to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. My parents, you have authority given by God over your children. Authority given by God must be observed. Power and authority come from Him. It does not start from the top of an individual’s head. It must be according to the Father’s will. Help me, please. As Queen of Peace, I implore you to consecrate your hearts to Our pure and holy Hearts.

I love you, I am your Mother Mary.

Mary speaks: You can always trust My Son. Pray, "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee."

Your children may tell you that you do not trust them. You as a parent must instruct them. They may be doing something wrong. It is your business to ask questions. Do not fall into a trap where a child wants to be in control. Your children can fall into much evil in the world. I am not telling you to overly nag them. You cannot control anyone’s will. I am telling you, you have a right to question them and you must do so.

I am Mary, your Mother.

Messenger: Please plead with me in the Mass. 1929 - Lucia’s Vision - See ourselves pleading with Lucia at every Mass for grace and mercy.

Messenger: Priests identify with Christ in offering the Sacrifice to the Father.

Today at Mass, I felt at the Consecration, I was begging the Father, screaming inside from the depth of my soul for grace to change the sinful world, begging for mercy. I felt as if I was on the cross screaming out in pain to God for help so that people will do God’s will.

At every Mass, we enter the garden. He hangs on the tree of life. His Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present in the Mass.

We must as a body plead for our priests and the Church and the world in this Sacrifice.

We must pray as a body like this.

PLEASE pray with me, I BEG YOU. Let us all beg and plead from the depth of our souls to God for grace and mercy, uniting in this Sacrifice through the Morning Offering all day, pleading when we are at Mass. Consecrate the priest’s heart to Jesus and Mary. Consecrate all the people. In doing this, we cannot actually consecrate their hearts. They need to willfully do it. We entrust them to the care of the Sacred Heart and Mary’s Immaculate Heart in a special way.
