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: Are we not as scattered sheep on the surface of the earth when so many have decided that they can adapt the Commandments and His word any way they choose to?
The devil is ready for an argument. Free will is given to man, but true freedom is not found in doing one’s own will. The Creator has the plan, the creature is under Him.
Many think freedom is doing exactly as they wish. The devil wanted Eve to eat the apple.
There are two masters, God and the evil one. We use our free wills to serve one or the other.
First, the person rationalizes the Commandments must be altered to fit his individual case, then he decides he doesn’t need them at all.
Satan wants souls for himself. Satan is working in the world to get the souls of our children.
When children consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, they are protected more against the devil and are most likely to follow God’s will.
We have tainted human natures, Satan works in our weaknesses. There is an extra protection against our fallen human nature when we put our hearts in Mary's perfect sinless Heart. She does not have a fallen nature. She is our spiritual Mother, we are protected in her spiritual womb.
The devil has fought and fought the message of Fatima because he does not want us giving our hearts to the pure and Immaculate one.
We see the picture of Mary or the statues where she is crushing the head of the serpent.
The devil will do all he can to block our mission. Mary wants the children to be saved. Mary is leading souls to our King, the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Mary appears in Florida, the Lady Clothed with the Sun, to lead the children to Him, Jesus, her Son, the Light of the World.
Jesus, our power and source of holiness, is with us in the Eucharist.

Fatima: The Setting
On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:
As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet--the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.
After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time--three times in all--within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. (2)
Messenger: Have you seen Mary in Florida?
Come and see her, sit beneath the image.
Feel her presence.
If you cannot come, order a postcard of her image and look at it daily. Study her messages.
Mary is The Lady Clothed with the Sun.
Last 5th, I went to Florida and when we sang at the beginning of the prayer service, Mary turned golden. Her colors change.
She loves her children to come with heartfelt love and pray before her image.
If you cannot come, keep a picture of Jesus and Mary before you at 6:30 p.m., a picture of Mary on the building and pray with us gathered here. The apostles are praying at the Shepherds of Christ Centers at China, Indiana and Morrow, Ohio. People all over the world are praying. Please pray with us as a body united in our hearts together for Jesus’ Shepherds of Christ Movement and all our needs to help reach the world with Jesus’ prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual), the consecration and the rosary. Help us reach our priests and help to renew the Church and the world. Help us.
Jesus speaks: I am the Chief Shepherd of the Flock. This is My Movement to lead the scattered ones into one fold. I am God.
Ezekiel 34:7-16
"Very well, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh: As I live, I swear it - declares the Lord Yahweh - since my flock has been pillaged and for lack of a shepherd is now the prey of every wild animal, since my shepherds have ceased to bother about my flock, since my shepherds feed themselves rather than my flock, very well, shepherds, hear the word of Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I am against the shepherds. I shall take my flock out of their charge and henceforth not allow them to feed my flock. And the shepherds will stop feeding themselves, because I shall rescue my sheep from their mouths to stop them from being food for them.
"For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest - declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them.
John 10:16
And there are other sheep I have
that are not of this fold,
and I must lead these too.
They too will listen to my voice,
and there will be only one flock,
one shepherd.
Q: How do you feel we can let go of control and work in better harmony together serving Him?
