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.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, IN HIM

Messenger: We should go to every Mass as if it may be our last Mass and partake as fully as possible in Him.

In the purity of Mary's Immaculate Heart, we partake more fully. The more we unite to His Sacred Heart the more pleasing the sacrifice to the Father.

We want to be so one IN Him.

"Through Him, With Him, and In Him".

Jesus offers the most perfect sacrifice.

I write this as words on a paper and yet my heart is in tears and my insides ache to express what I feel so deeply.

The Mass is the major source of grace being outpoured on the earth. In tears I write this to you.

See Lucia's vision. See the message Jesus gave to her.

Jesus' message to Lucia Coming Soon!!!

Messenger: With regards to our lives, we want to partake most fully as a member of the body of Christ in offering our lives with the Good Shepherd in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Every moment of our lives and how we live it is important. Every moment offered is a sacrifice.

GRACE, MERCY

GRACE, MERCY

Jesus our God, our Brother, our Lover, our Friend.

Jesus gives us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to partake in so we can offer a most pleasing sacrifice to the Father.

JESUS' BODY and JESUS' BLOOD.

A Perfect Sacrifice.
A Holy Sacrifice.
A Sacred Sacrifice.

A Sacrifice given to men to offer to God.

And the priest is given this priestly power from our beloved God. So holy are his hands, so sacred his office.

But we, too, as the faithful can partake in this priestly offering in the capacity we are able as members of His body, not in the way the priest can, but in a very important way that He desires and is necessary for great grace to be outpoured on the earth.

There are two quotes in Revelation about priests for our God.

Revelation 1: 5

He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 5: 9-10

They sang a new hymn:
   You are worthy to take the scroll
   and to break its seals,
   because you were sacrificed,
       and with your blood
   you bought people for God
   of every race, language, people and nation
   and made them
       a line of kings and priests for God,
   to rule the world.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, IN HIM

Isaiah 49: 13-15

Shout for joy, you heavens; earth, exult!
Mountains, break into joyful cries!
For Yahweh has consoled his people,
is taking pity on his afflicted ones.
Zion was saying,
   ‘Yahweh has abandoned me,
the Lord has forgotten me.’
Can a woman forget her baby at the breast,
feel no pity for the child she has borne?
Even if these were to forget,
I shall not forget you.

Psalm 23, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6

The Good Shepherd

Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
In grassy meadows he lets me lie.

By tranquil streams he leads me
   to restore my spirit.
He guides me in paths of saving justice.
   as befits his name.

Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death
I should fear no danger, for you are at my side.
Your staff and your crook are there to soothe me.

You prepare a table for me
   under the eyes of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
   my cup brims over.

Kindness and faithful love pursue me
   every day of my life.
I make my home in the house of Yahweh
   for all time to come.

Messenger: Yes, the Good Shepherd lays down His life for His flock.

John 10: 11-15

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
    for his sheep.
The hired man,
    since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
    and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
    and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
    because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.

Picture of the Good Shepherd Coming Soon!!!

Messenger: The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present in the Mass.

Some day we will attend our last Mass, receive our last Eucharist, sit in front of the tabernacle for our last time.

Did we spend our lives telling others about the Mass and the gift of Jesus in the Eucharist?

We won't be able to talk in those last moments and tell the world then, it will be too late.

What will matter when we go to Him, our God, on that last day is how we furthered the work of the kingdom, how we helped lead souls to Him, how we prayed for them, how we did as He did. He laid down His life for His flock.

What is a Shepherd of Christ - one who lays down his life in loving service of Our God. (refer also to message of May 30)

A message for the Earth from Jesus
January 22, 1998

Jesus speaks: I am the Good Shepherd, these are My prayers, the prayers I give to help renew the Church and the world, all prayer chapters are asked to include these prayers (found in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual). As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

My promise is this to you My beloved earth: When you give your heart to Me and spread the devotion to My Sacred Heart, I will write your name In My Heart. I promise to give the greatest graces when you pray these prayers for renewal of the Church and the world and take all who pray them deeply into My Heart. The prayers I give will bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. I am Jesus Christ, this is My message of January 22, 1998, Please circulate this message to your world. I am the Good Shepherd, I know Mine and Mine know Me and they follow Me. Grace My Shepherds, I will give you the greatest graces for spreading these words to this earth and to your Church. I love you, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, it is the Plan of the Father that Prayer Chapters are begun immediately and the Priestly Newsletter is given to all priests. The Voice of the Good Shepherd speaks through it.

Prayer for Union with Jesus

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

Mary'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.

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel I can learn more about patience from identifying with Jesus on the cross?  How do I feel it will help us to get along more as a couple?
