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: Come, My bride, come to Me. I give you Myself in the Eucharist. I give you My Body and My Blood, My intimate love. You become most intimately one in Me. I reveal Myself to you. I implant My ways on your soul.
Messenger: The highest form of communal reparation is after the reception of the Eucharist when all are one in Him.
God the Father speaks: I give you the great gifts of this earth. I give you the air and the sky and the beauty of the earth. I give you your children. I give you fruit and food and all good things. I give you one another. You are not grateful, My children. I give you so much good and you have your own wills and fight for what you want.
Jesus speaks: The devil works in pressure. He tricks My holy ones.
Messenger: Psalm response: You are my son, today have I fathered you.
Acts 13:26-33
‘My brothers, sons of Abraham’s race, and all you godfearers, this message of salvation is meant for you. What the people of Jerusalem and their rulers did, though they did not realise it, was in fact to fulfil the prophecies read on every Sabbath. Though they found nothing to justify his execution, they condemned him and asked Pilate to have him put to death. When they had carried out everything that scripture foretells about him they took him down from the tree and buried him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem: and it is these same companions of his who are now his witnesses before our people.
We have come here to tell you the good news that the promise made to our ancestors has come about. God has fulfilled it to their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As scripture says in the psalms: You are my son: today I have fathered you.
10-11Responsorial Psalm Ps.2:6-7, 8-9,
R. You are my son, today have I fathered you.
'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.
R. 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.’
R. Your are my son, today have I fathered you.
So now, you kings, come to your senses,
you earthly rulers, learn your lesson!
In fear be submissive to Yahweh;
R. You are my son, today have I fathered you.
Messenger: Freedom is found in living in the Father's will.
We must put aside our own wills and focus only on His will.
We cannot focus on what others are thinking, we must focus on what God wills for us.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
Messenger: We must recognize the cross in all our sufferings, enduring it when others are pressing on us as Christ endured at the pillar.
Children learn to settle problems and irritations with anger from watching parents and others who do so.
Jesus speaks: If you were aware of the Father's loving Presence, that you are being watched, how would you correct your children?
God the Father speaks: I give you this Commandment: To love God and love one another.
You play, My children, on the surface of the earth.
You act in certain ways around your children. You are supposed to act in My name. You teach them the wrong ways when you sin and act unlovingly before them.
I am watching you in all your struggles and in all your pain.
Jesus speaks: The Father was One with Me all through the awful Passion. You walk your passion with tears on your cheeks and you struggle and you feel you must scream when the hurt is so great.
I tell you to come to Me. You need that hour to refuel. I give you the Bread of Life. I give you My grace abundantly outpoured in the Eucharist.
Messenger: Oh my God, help me to do exactly as You say. I want so to be one in You and act as You wish me to.
Jesus speaks: This dialogue I give in this message is to make you more aware of the working of God on your soul. You are not alone. I am One with the Father. Father, Son and Holy Spirit act on your soul most intimately. You think as a human person, but your acts of thinking, willing, loving, are elevated through Baptism and as you live most abundantly in Us, doing the will of God, loving at every moment.
Messenger: Oh God, help me, please, to settle the problems in my life. I surrender myself with all my imperfections and sins to You. I truly want You to possess my soul. I do not want to focus on what others think and want me to do, but to do all according to Your will for me.
Jesus speaks: My will I make clear to you. There is always that way of looking back to see what those in authority are telling you to do. Authority comes from God. If the Church teaches that artificial contraception is not permitted, but the priest, wishing to please the people, says it is permissible, then this causes confusion in the marriage. Who is right, the priest or the Church? This is an example. The priest is under the authority of the Church. He cannot change the teachings to meet the people's wishes.
When one in authority chooses his will over those higher in authority, he affects all those with whom he interacts. One person not doing the will of God causes others to have to make painful choices.
One major problem in your Church is when individual persons decide to act against the commands of the Church because of the activities and wants of the people.
You must obey the Church, you must obey the Commandments. You do not receive your answers on how to live according to God's will by acting as men choose. You must live by My word and the Commandments.
One person who does not do God's will can affect millions. Children, obeying God's will sets you free from enslavement.
I tell you to pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus all through the day and also the Spouse of the Lamb Prayer.
You must get the prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) into the churches and the priestly newsletter into the hands of the priests. Give a priest a priestly newsletter and tell him how Shepherds of Christ has prayer groups all over the world praying for priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. Ask him if you can begin a prayer chapter, tell him the prayers are short, making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and honoring Them, especially in the litanies. Tell him the prayers end with the consecration and begin with the prayers to the Holy Spirit. Tell him Mary asked for this at Fatima, to consecrate our churches to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
Oh, My children, do not be afraid to help spread Our message.
You will receive relief from the problems in your lives when more grace is released, but people must implore God to help them. More men will do God's will and not their own will opposed to His will when they consecrate their hearts to Our Hearts.
Messenger: Oh my God, help us. Amen.
Jesus speaks: You are a product of what you have been taught. People respond to situations with responses they learned in childhood regarding similar events. Parents that taught children to respond with anger, anxiousness, frustration, in situations in which they have acted totally inappropriately, were themselves taught by others that came before them to act this way.
Do you see the need of the perfect model you have been given to be a son of God? This is a great gift God has given in sending Me, God-made-Man, Son of God, to His beloved creatures to teach them the ways in which human behavior will be most likened to God's ways. You were created in Our image and likeness. You learn from studying the Son of God, God-made-Man, and the Immaculate pure sinless Virgin, My holy Mother, the only human person conceived without sin.
Adam and Eve sinned. The New Adam and the New Eve show you the way to follow.
1 Corinthians 15:20-21
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.
Jesus speaks: What is so terrible is children are taught these ways of reacting which are unloving. Then during their entire lives, they tend to act inappropriately in similar situations. Many times children and parents do not get along because the one parent has taught these patterns of behavior, and the other parent, being forced to live in such adverse circumstances, has adopted dysfunctional behavior. The children act dysfunctionally and they struggle to weed out the error of their ways.
In giving yourselves in consecration, in dwelling in Our pure and untainted Hearts, you will experience some relief from this enslavement of Satan.
Parents and children are mired in dysfunctional ways, being the children of Adam and Eve.
The New Adam and the New Eve show the way to purity. This is why you must meditate on Our Lives as your Mother has instructed you to do in praying the rosary. You will benefit tremendously from saying the rosary.
Mary speaks: I love you. I am Mary, your Mother, please obey my wishes given at Fatima.
Q: How can I share hurt feelings with you in love? (Give suggestions)
