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: My dear apostles, 
                    I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 

                    We really need funds for Blue Books.

                    The Blue Books are Jesus' tender love letters 
                        meant for His precious souls. 
                        So many people want them. 
                        So many people want to distribute them. 

                    A priest called today and said that the Blue Books 
                        and the Prayer for Union with Jesus help the homeless. 
                        He says there is about a 90% turn around in their lives 
                        for the better because of the Blue Books and 
                        the Prayer for Union with Jesus. 

                    All we can do is tell these people we hardly 
                        have any Blue Books. 

                    Anyone who uses the Blue Books hears the plaintive cry 
                        of Jesus to get the Blue Books to His beloved souls. 

                    Think of how the Blue Books have changed your lives. 

                    Think of how the Blue Books led you to the Eucharist 
                        and adoration. 

                    Think of how Jesus has told you over and over again 
                        in the Blue Books of His love for you. 

                    Think of how it would be had you not received the 
                        first Blue Book or the second or the third. 

                    This is how it is with so many souls who have never read 
                        one Blue Book message. People who have been helped 
                        by the Blue Books want to give the Blue Books to others 
                        and all we can say is we hardly have any Blue Books. 

                    A man who gives the Blue Books to so many in California 
                        has not had hardly any Blue Books in 6 months because 
                        we just do not have them. Can you help us in any way?

Excerpts from Blue Book I

October 19, 1993

Jesus speaks: Many will answer My call through you if you circulate these messages. Come and do My work now! Don't be afraid.

Angels Will Read the Message

Excerpt from December 20, 1993 - 2:40 a.m.

Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.

I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?

Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!

What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!

I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.

Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy!

May 2, 2001 message continues

Messenger: Many of the pictures on the internet are available 
                        especially at the Virgin Mary Building. 
                        They are available in different sizes 
                        and framed. 

                    Think of what one picture can do for a soul. 

                    We really need a photo machine. 

                    Where can you get a picture of Jesus and Mary? 

                    These are priceless treasures.

                    Here is a picture taken March 5, 2001 and February 5, 2001.

May 2, 2001 message continues

Messenger: The people at the frame store were so excited 
                        about these two pictures.

                    Jesus and Mary have given us pictures of Themselves. 
                        We should be so excited too!!

                    We should want with all our hearts to tell the world 
                        of this great gift.

                    One picture of Mary on the building has changed 
                        so many lives.

                    Mary and Jesus want these pictures circulated.

                    Over and over again, Mary and Jesus have asked us 
                        to circulate these pictures.

                    Mary wants us to circulate her image pictures!

                    That is why They give these pictures.

                    Jesus wanted me to put on the following messages. 
                        He said I should put on the following old messages 
                        about worrying. Here are the messages about worrying.

Excerpt from Blue Book IV:

July 21, 1994

His Precious Hands and Feet

Messenger: How did it feel to have the nails pounded into Your precious hands, to be bound and a nail pounded into the other hand and then to have both hands nailed down and have them nail the nails through both feet?

Oh, my Jesus, was this done for all the sins of our hands and feet? We use our hands for food, drink, to use telephones and videos, and many things we handle lead to sin.

Oh, Jesus, were your feet nailed for all the places we walked that led us into sin? Our feet can lead us to You or lead us away from You.

What pain You experienced all the way through inside Your body! How does deep pain feel?

This is how Your Heart and Mary's Heart were wounded, with deep pain, clear through, so deep. Who can express the anguish You felt for all the souls that would be lost, despite Your love? It hurts to see those we love suffer, but to see souls condemned to eternal fire!

You saw so much, my precious Jesus. Thank You for becoming a man and suffering for me. Thank You for the gift of redemption with its new life.

Oh, Savior, I love You with the most longing heart. I want you so much more. I want to be closer to You. Help me to grow in my love for You.

Mary, place me in the innermost recesses of His most Sacred Heart. I love you so much!

(Vision: Before Mass I saw a bright light, so bright, eyes were closed, but a big light - so big and bright, like a ball of fire! I had been praying to the Father and opened my eyes and saw the tabernacle in the chapel. I smelled a very sweet smell. I heard, "Jesus is Center, God is Father, Holy Spirit helps us to know God.")

Jesus speaks: My little loved one, do you worry for this life? Be not afraid. I care for the lilies of the field.

Your life is so important to Me. Put your cares aside and come and love Me. If I suffered such brutality with the wounds, do you not think I would care for you?

Oh, little one, I care and love you minute-by-minute. Do not fear, for I never abandon you. I am forever with you guarding you. You are so precious to Me.

Come to My Heart and live in Me. Dwell inside My Heart. I am in you, you are in Me. We are One in the Father Who sent Me.

The ball of fire is to show you My might. Do not ever worry. I am with you. I love you!

Do You Know How Close I Am To You

Jesus speaks: Dear child, do you know I am this close to you? You suffer such fear, for you have fallen into another trap Satan has set. When will you learn that his whole purpose is to discredit you and get you bowed down? He is a master of deceit. He knows what will get to you.

You are suffering for souls, offer up your torments. Your life is given to Me. You will suffer. I ask you to comply to the will of the Father. Act for love of Me. I suffered for you, My beloved. I ask you to suffer for Me in love.

What are you doing? Do you know I have wrapped you in a blanket and am now holding you tightly in My arms? I am so full of love for you.

Relinquish your anger at any person. Live to love. Do not fear when you act for Me.

Messenger: Jesus said, when I went to Communion: "Do not be hard on yourself." Jesus said, "Be gentle with yourself."

Jesus speaks: Be gentle on yourself, sweet one, be gentle. I have chosen you for this work because you are willing to suffer for Me. I love you dearly. In every trial, it is a rose, given to you, My sweet one. This is a rose I give to you. I know every act ever done to you and I know your anguish. This anguish I ask you to suffer with joy, joy because you love Me. Be alone with Me. Meditate on how they hollered slanders at Me and I remained silent. In a jeering crowd of people, they hollered every insult and injury at Me, then they spit on Me and laughed at Me. I was attacked by so many. Satan works in secret. I gave My all. Everything should be in the open. I love you so dearly. I am protecting you.

"You will know they are my disciples by how they love one another."

Excerpt from Blue Book V:

October 21, 1994
(between 12 and 3 p.m. I heard bells in the Priests' Residence Chapel)

Messenger: God is love. How can we love God if we do not love one another? I do not know God if I do not love. If I know God and share truly in His divine Life, I must love.

Oh, God, how I love You! You are in the morning sun, the breath of fresh air. You are in the sun-lit morning. You are in all those things, created by You. You are in my brothers, in their smiles and in their eyes. You exist - You truly exist in this world this day. I am surrounded by Your presence. Your power and Your might surround me as I dwell on this earth. As I live and breathe, I breathe in life with the air You provide for me. I am connected to You at every second. There is not one second that I am not dependent on You for my existence.

Oh, blind men on this earth, it is indeed so clear to all who look! God is present and in our midst this day! He is alive and ever ready to provide us with every need. Yet, God, the Son of God, Who waits for the love of mere creatures, sits alone in both tabernacles here all morning! He is truly present, exposed or not. He is here and waiting our love. He writes the song He wants us to sing to Him. I scarce can breathe to be near to You, my God! This is the love He wants us to have. He is present. He is there. He is alive, and He knows our every thought and action. He is the love we all crave. He is truly here. Oh, my God, who am I that I sit in Your presence here. I sit and others do not even realize how You long for their love.

Jesus speaks: Tell them, My child. I have commissioned you and Father to tell them of this great love I have. I am your most precious Savior. Truly, I died for you. Truly, I would die for them this day. You are My apostles to spread devotion to My most Sacred Heart and My Mother's Immaculate Heart. She tells you at every rosary, "I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary and I love all My precious children." This is your calling - to spread the love of these two Hearts.

See My Heart as beating and on-fire second-by-second. I never leave you. Promote the promises. Tell all to say them every day. It is through My most Sacred Heart you will be warmed in the coldest night. Take shelter from the wind, the rain, the cold, from pestilence, from every kind of affliction you may suffer. Find shelter in the dear, tender Heart of the Child Jesus. My Heart is on fire and waiting to exchange love with My beloved ones. They do not know how this Heart beats for them this very day.

Come to Me and I will lead you away into the realms of intimacy with Me - intense intimacy in My most Sacred Heart! I am the Heart of Jesus, on fire for love of you, My beloved ones!

Messenger: (How can I really know God and not love? He is Love!)

Excerpt from Blue Book V:

October 21, 1994

An Exterior Vision: I saw His Heart on His chest, hands off to the side.

Messenger: I was praying (people opened the door in the Priest’s Resident Chapel). I kept looking at the vision - a little child was in the heart, in the center. It could have been an embryo in a developed stage. His Heart was formed in the womb of His Mother. Rays were around the heart.

He said something about being a child. I was distracted by the opening of the door but I continued focusing on the vision.

I kept hearing the song, "when you are inside of Me", the song Jesus gave me.

I have been smelling faint smells of incense and roses at different times.

His presence pervades my soul. I love Him so much, it is He whom I seek! I want only Him. I love you so much, my precious love!

I feel such love for St. Margaret Mary...

I do not want to leave the tabernacle. He says: "My presence is with you, take it forever with you in your heart! I give Myself to you in this special way. You are never without My deepest love. I dwell in you in deep union. Be lost in My love."

I always have trouble on Fridays between noon and 3pm. He wants me to cherish this time with Him. I love you Jesus. Jesus. Jesus!

All hope of life eternal comes through Christ crucified. Our hope of eternal life comes through His death and resurrection.

Make the sign of the cross, profess our faith in Him and our love of the Trinity. I love God!

A Note From the President:

We have a video which can be played using the RealPlayer 8 Basic program. This program can be downloaded free of charge from the www.real.com website. Look for the section where free downloads are available and select the RealPlayer 8 Basic program. 

You do not need to stay at the computer while the RealPlayer 8 Basic program or our movie is downloading. The movie takes about 8 MB of disk space. Once you have the movie saved on your hard drive, you can play it over and over with no wait to interested friends or family members.

These photos were captured from the movie which can be downloaded. We started with video footage of Our Lady of Clearwater and video footage of Our Lady of Guadalupe. When I faded from Our Lady of Clearwater to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the video, I was startled and amazed to see how well the two images match up. I believe it is another sign that Our Lady is truly appearing to the children of the Earth on the Mary Image Building in Clearwater, Florida.

This Internet movie is a small sample of scenes from a real VHS video which was directed by our Lord and is available from Shepherds of Christ. Please contact us to obtain a copy of this video. We operate on donations.

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.

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.
