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.


Jesus speaks: The devil is real, he comes uninvited to hurt you, you do not see him.

The devil works in suspicion. If everyone would live according to My will, you would not have to be concerned with who is being truthful, who is not being truthful, who is acting correctly, who is acting incorrectly. They would be truthful.

In an attack from the evil one, the devil can play up things in your minds that are not true. He magnifies little things to make them big things. He wants you divided with one another.

The person that fails to recognize the workings of the evil one deceives himself. If a man came into your home daily and caused conflict, eventually you may say, if he would not come here anymore there would be greater peace. You would try to get him out of your house.

Satan comes to divide, to cause hatred, disharmony. His whole purpose is to try to get people to sin, to lose their souls, to hurt others. He is real! He comes all the time. Especially before prayers and special events to further My kingdom. He comes to hurt you and all others.

To deny his existence is not to live in the truth.

He is real. You must recognize how he works in yourselves and those around you. I am unveiling the workings of the evil one in your lives. He is there. He tries to manipulate your thoughts to divide you from others.

If you can talk to someone you trust about your feelings, very often you see how he has worked in yourself to cause havoc.

He is noisy, he makes you feel panicky and fearful. He wants you to worry about your bodies, your children. He wants you to feel isolated, all alone. He tries to make you think everyone is united and you are not united to them. He works in this isolation to cause problems. He tells you that you must accuse others of crimes they may not have committed. He is the master of lies and deceit, he is the master to manipulate events to look awful, cause chaos and doubt, and make you feel all alone. He is the devil!

The devil wants you to tear down what you have worked so hard to build up.

If you are upset inside, many times you work out your bad disposition or edginess on someone you love.

You can create a conflict with someone you love and try to resolve it so you will be relieved of the other tension in your life.

Some people do this constantly and do not even know it.

They hurt their love relationships because they work out problems in their lives on their loved ones.

Some people are afraid to get close. When someone loves them, they create conflicts because they are uncomfortable with being loved.

Some people do not want others to be in a bad mood. They can be in a bad mood, but when anyone else is upset they don’t like them to be in a bad mood. They create bigger problems for the one who is upset rather that trying to help the person work through the problem.

I give you this advice to help yourselves relate more lovingly and not hurt the ones you love. The devil wants you divided.


Why Do We Hurt The Ones We Love

Why do we hurt the ones we love
Why don't we see it hurts only us
to give of ourselves just makes us rich
to be selfish just makes us poor
When we love one another we're giving to God
when we love one another we're building lasting love.

So keep right on giving
God is with you now
and God will bless you
with ever lasting love.

Hate that inside eats you away
it makes you hurt every day
It festers and only causes pain
Just give all your hurts to God
You can love today just smile and be glad
that God is with you in everything you do.

So just start living
God is with you now
And turn to Him
In everything you do

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel examining my conscience and looking truthfully at myself, my disappointments, fears, anxieties, may help me in my love relationship with you?

Messenger: Jesus has recommended writing love letters to Him telling Him our problems. Praying after communion and telling Jesus our thoughts during the day

can help us see things differently. He has told us to write to Him, then open the Blue Book for His message.


Excerpt from Blue Book V:

Saturday - October 29, 1994 2:15 a.m.

Messenger: I scarce can breathe when You come into me, Lord. Help me to be drawn into a closer union with You, to let go of the perishable things of this world and be only as You want me to be, Lord. I am so weak and attached to many things. I want to please You and do Your will.

"I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. Reach out to Me and do not fear, I love you tenderly."

Oh, the ways of the heart, Lord. How You suffered so in the garden for all Your beloved ones that You loved so greatly and who treated You with such coldness. To be perfect love and be rejected by so many beloved souls, what agony You endured! I want to console your Most precious Heart and tell You how I love You. Oh, Jesus, You are so sweet to me. Who am I that You care for me and come to me and live in me?

Jesus speaks: I give to priests the power to forgive sins - many take this so lightly. I give them this power - do they thank Me for My great gifts to them? Such power I give - to change bread and wine into My precious Body and Blood, everyday at Mass. Such a gift from My Most loving Heart. From the Father, in the Spirit, such a gift and how many even think of how I favor them with this gift?

I am Jesus Christ, their beloved Savior. My special anointed ones do not know how it offends My Heart to be neglected by them. They are given such power and they do not even come and be with Me. Such love I have for them! Agonies of the heart, such agonies to love so dearly, to give so much and be rejected by My anointed ones! Oh, if they only came to Me, I would shower them with such love for their hearts and souls.

I am your special love. I come to you and give you Myself, no less present than the day I walked the earth, and who comes and spends time with Me? I am your beloved Savior. I gave My life for you, My beloved priests. I give you such gifts from the Father, in the Spirit, and you take God's gifts so lightly. How I suffered for your neglect and indifference.

Oh, beloved children of My Father, do you know this love I have for you? I come and give you Myself this very day and you treat Me so very coldly. Come to My Heart in the Blessed Sacrament and be with Me. Come and spend time in your home, alone with Me. Come from your sleep and be with Me.

Such sweet moments - our time together in the night! Do you remember My dear love I poured out to you in these most sacred hours? I want you to come, Rita, and be with Me. Such special moments with Me, your beloved One. I am forever with you with such love. I pour Myself out to you in the night. Come and be alone with Me in our hearts. I love you so much. Nothing sustains the aching soul but My love. I long for you to come and be alone with Me. In the night you are totally attentive to Me. Come to Me and be with Me. Comfort My aching Heart. No one knows how My Heart suffered for love of My beloved ones. I am so neglected and forgotten. You see what makes you sad, the hours I sit alone in the tabernacle and no one comes, the way people are too busy to even think of Me. My holiest ones who have turned My Mass into such coldness and I, Who love with such fervent love, love their most cold hearts. Cold hearts surround Me. I remain with greatest love for you, My beloved souls, and who comes and gives Me a heart of real love? Very few hearts come and pour their love out to Me. I long for this, your love. I long for your time with Me. Console My aching Heart, My child. Come and give Me your deepest love. I want your love as I say in the song. I want you to come with such love you scarce can breathe.

Rita, Rita, do you know yet I speak to you? You are such a cold heart. I speak to you and you are ready to run back to your world for your love. I want to be so close to you. You do not comprehend what is transpiring here, My beloved one. I pour out such love to you and you are this little frightened child out in the rain looking for that which only I can give you. Come out of the rain and into My Heart. Totally surrender and let your life unfold as I make Myself known more and more to you. I want to take you to the inner sanctuaries of My Heart. I want you to dwell there in such union. You keep yourself at a distance from Me.

Your world is not the answer. My Heart is your answer. Let go, let go, let go. Be so wrapped in My love. You stand on the outskirts, looking in. I give you My grace. With Me, you are not alone. I never ever leave you. Be attentive at every second to My most intimate presence within you. You offend My Heart. You, whom I talk to, you doubt and run to others for what I want to give you. My child, I love you so much. Do you hear Me? Don’t check out My story here any more. Be lost in My deepest love. I give this to you. Come and dwell deeply in My Heart through Mary’s Heart. It is in this dwelling that your peace lies. Say the prayer for union with Me.

Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

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.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

(End of Mary's Message)


MY VALENTINE FOR JESUS AND MARY
AND THE WORLD

I _________________ give my heart to
You Jesus and Mary on this day

_________________
I promise to help spread the devotion to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
