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: Come to China.

May 11, 2000 - Second Message
Messenger: Mary Queen of Apostles help us.
Mary Our Mother Most pure.
On May 11, 1996, I was sent to Toledo to deliver a rosary. The contents were one of the first of a set of live rosaries published in 1996 that were published in the Apostles' Manual. Seven months later, after this important rosary about Shepherds of Christ and Fatima, Mary would appear on the building in Florida. A call to apostles, we still have a very active group operating in Toledo, and the priestly newsletter tapes are duplicated there.
Mass
Today at Mass I was given great grace. At the words of Jesus in the scripture I could hardly speak, for I felt them so deep inside me.
He enveloped my soul and I felt I was so deeply in Him in the Mass. I felt the Mass and the connection with the whole Universal Church. I felt the connection with all the saints and angels and souls in purgatory. I existed so deeply in Him, being so one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. I knew oneness in God and with all His creatures, being so united in my participation in the Mass with the whole body of Christ, all its ministers and it priests, all the clergy, being so one with the faithful and so connected with the angels and saints.
I read the Alleluia verse and I could hardly mouth the words for I cried so deep inside as Jesus spoke in me.
John 6: 51-52
'I am the living bread
which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread
will live forever;
and the bread that I shall give
is my flesh, for the life of the world.'
In the first reading the words of Isaiah were this:
Isaiah 53: 7-8
...like a lamb led to the slaughter-house,
like a sheep dumb before it shearers
he never opened his mouth.Forcibly, after sentence, he was taken.
Which of his contemporaries
was concerned
at his having been cut off
from the land of the living,
at his having been struck dead
for his people's rebellion?
Messenger: I felt His emotion within me, in giving Himself so humbly and so completely for us, and I could hardly speak the words. I just wanted to cry.
I have been reading the 5th Blue Book, October 1994 - December 1994. I received it when Jesus gave me most of the songs in the Songs from Jesus Book. It is so sensitive and tender, it makes me feel so close to Him. Pray that these books will reach the world some day. From time to time these writings will begin to appear in the daily messages, if at all possible.
Jesus is truly the gentle lover, the one who loves us so with His most precious Sacred Heart. He loves us with His Divine love as our devoted spouse and lover.
Oh, Jesus, thank you for the gifts you have given us in revealing the secrets of your precious divine love.
Oh, Jesus, thank you for these revelations. We love you so much.
May 11, 2000 - Third Message
Messenger: Mary appears without any features in her face on the building in Clearwater.
Mary appeared to me two times with dark colored skin like her color on the building. It was July 5, 1994, when she appeared with dark colored skin, the color of Our Lady on the building. Her face appeared cracked. She also appeared March 5, 1995, with this dark colored skin and cracked face like the first time.
I want to present here some writings from that summer when she appeared daily, when the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary began.
Writings from the summer of 1994 when Mary first appeared to me.

My Mother
Messenger: My mother died when I was five and I missed her all throughout my life. I will now be 48 in a couple of weeks, the age she was when she died. My birthday present was and is the gift I received from her: her old, worn prayer book. The pages torn and yellow where she wore them out from her prayers. She prayed so much they were all torn. I have her crucifix from her rosary, which has her name, Alice, attached to it. I received her prayer book and the cross from the rosary.
Nothing is an accident. She gave me the greatest gift of all, she gave me my life at birth and I have her prayer book and crucifix from her rosary as her love for me. This is one of the most precious gifts a child could ever have - her mother's prayers! Early on she shared with me her deep love of God.
I want to lead others to meditate on Jesus' life - His life at birth and Mary's life, lived in the rosary. From the youthful face to the old woman she became, from her joy to her deep sorrow. I see Mary's face alive in the statues. A parade of faces, all the emotions of the heart, for us, relived in every rosary! This is our call: to be likened to Christ. I must meditate on Christ and His life. This will help me grow in my love relationship with Jesus and Mary in the rosary. I love the rosary because it is their lives. His life was given for love of us. He gives Himself to us this day in the Eucharist. We must live their lives to put on Christ. A Christian is one who acts like Christ. They will know we are Christians by our love. To love like Christ, we must meditate on His life with Mary.
I am called by Mary to lead others to the love of her precious Son. When I live as Christ and Mary did, then I will preach the gospel in my life. Do I act like Christ? Look at our lives and see if we are acting like Him today. Study Him in the rosary. Learn about His love, poured out for us in the Eucharist. Sit with Him in front of the tabernacle and pray the rosary, slowly, from the heart, and meditate on His life and the life of His Mother.
Sit alone with Him and learn of His love for us, this day. Be silent in front of the tabernacle. He will speak in the silence. We are given such gifts of His love. We should live Jesus' and Mary's lives in the rosary!

The Oneness Between Mary and Jesus
Messenger: I see her hold His lifeless Body under the cross. I see her tenderness, holding Him as a Baby. I see their oneness in the peering eyes. I see her with the sword in her Heart, pierced because of the sufferings of her Son. I see her giving birth to her beautiful Baby.
I see her sorrowful face, her beautiful face, her old face, her young face; all reflections of her life and His life, joined in joy, joined in suffering, joined - Mother and Son - all through Their lives, during the Passion, now joined in heaven. They want to draw us to eternal salvation.
A loving Mother, truly by our sides, waiting to listen to our problems, and Jesus forever with her.
She stands under the cross and places our burdens there with us as we, hand-in-hand with our loving Mother, give up our frustrations, our crosses to Him, our loving Savior.
This is life, to be fixed so closely united with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, all day surrendering ourselves to Their loving Hearts.
This is warmth and security to me. I realize so very much Their presence. This is the reality of this world. It is God’s world. We dwell here in the hope of achieving everlasting life. Jesus Christ is truly present this day in the Eucharist, no less than the day He walked this earth.
Mary is so closely united to her Son. To love Jesus is to love Mary, to love Mary is to love Jesus.
Mary, help me to love your beloved Son.
Jesus, help me to love Your beloved Mother.
Mary is always leading me to the love of her precious Son. All the meditations on the rosary about Mary lead me to Him. She is our spiritual Mother. To think of His being formed in her womb is so beautiful. I ask Mary to form me in her womb so I can be more closely united to her Son. For nine months He was formed in the womb of His loving Mother. For my lifetime, I am forever formed in her womb to deepen my union with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father.
The protection and security, to be surrounded by Mary’s womb, is so beautiful. She delivers us up to union with her precious Son.
The more I meditate on Their lives in the rosary (I really meditate on each bead), these beautiful mysteries of Their lives, the more I am so closely joined to the union of Mary’s Heart and Jesus’ Heart. This is my refuge. This is our life, to be joined so intimately to Their Hearts!
She draws me to her and draws me to praying the rosary, like steel to a magnet. I get such comfort sharing Their lives. It is there I realize so much Their reality. They are truly here, this very day -- we are not ever alone! I am united to Their lives. This comfort exists all through the day, for They are with me.
I pray in front of the big statue of Mary and she is alive to me.

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.
