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: The Lamb of God is Jesus.
When we eat a feast we fill our body.
It is most fitting that Jesus gives us this spiritual food and drink, His Body and His Blood in the Eucharist.
We become one in Him. We eat His Body and drink His Blood.
As we partake in a hearty meal and our dish may be a cow, a lamb, a chicken, when we partake in the heavenly feast, that which we consume is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God.
We are fed bodily by the meal, the chicken, the cow, the lamb.
We are fed spiritually by the Divine God. He is the LAMB of God.
Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God Who take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
We come to the heavenly table to offer sacrifice and to be nourished.
We clean our hands when we eat our food for the body, we clean our dishes and our plates. Is it not fitting we would clean our souls to receive the one true Almighty God into our hearts?
A Banquet is prepared. There is great unity and joy.
Psalm 128:2-3
Your own labours will yield you a living,
happy and prosperous will you be.
Your wife a fruitful vine
in the inner places of your house.
Your children round your table
like shoots of an olive tree.
Messenger: The children of the Father gather around the table, all live in the Father's will. There is great fruit produced at the table of the Lord. We are one in Him.
We must give ourselves to Him.
Jesus speaks: On June 13, 1999, I gave a message before the consecration prayers, I wish it to appear here.
I wish you to read this often before you consecrate your hearts.
Message June 13, 1999, from China, Indiana about 1:00 p.m., China time.
Jesus speaks: .....And now you come to Me. I tell you to surrender and let go, for I am with You this day in a special way. You have come to the end of a long, hard journey. I have watched you this 108 days of the novena. And now today is a victory, for great grace has been granted to many of the souls on this earth because of your fervent prayer and your sacrifices. My word to you today is to let go so that you may come to the depth of My Heart, that you will know Me in a more intimate way as never before. I ask you to let go, to give Me your heart so that you will experience more and more My divine love. I outpour My love to you today and I remain with you in the Holy Eucharist no less present than the day I walked this earth and was carried in the womb of My Mother. Surrender to Me, for I see you there in your anxiety and your fear and I tell you if you knew more about My love you would not fear. You would know how close I truly am to you. You would not be afraid, for I give to you this love that you will feel accepted, that you will dwell in the depth of My Heart, that you will be saturated with My love, that you will exist in Me, that you will know acceptance and love, that the fear within your heart will cease and that you will know the presence of the Almighty God as never before.
I am Jesus your Savior. I come to you this day to give you an outpouring of My love and My grace. And this world will know more and more the great love that I have for them, for through your prayers of intercession God will grant great grace to this earth. Hold tight My little one. Do not be afraid, let go, surrender, feel the acceptance and the love of the Almighty God, no matter how it is in your life or the circles in which you dwell. Feel the acceptance, the love that you will know for all eternity in heaven. It is the devil that wants you to be bowed down, to feel divided, to feel rejected, to see others looking critically at you, and it is indeed the devil that judges harshly and hates and condemns. And in this world today there is this darkness that has encircled many of My precious souls. In heaven there is the experience of acceptance with love, of completeness, of being elevated to such a level that you exist in a bed of love. The hell is a place of total isolation, of rejection, of hatred, of death. Put before you is life or death, the blessing or the curse. I give to you Myself in the Holy Eucharist. I am Jesus, the I Am, the Almighty God, the All-powerful, the One, holy, true God. I give to you Myself.
SONG: Song From Jesus
SONG: I Love You Jesus
Jesus speaks: I ask you now to come to the depth of My Heart and to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. I ask you at this time to surrender and to forgive all those that you hold grudges against. I ask you to forgive, forgive as you pray to forgive in the Our Father:
"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen."
Ask God for the grace to open your heart and to forgive all those that have offended you. Ask God to fill you with His divine love so that you will be able to experience on a heightened level His love permeating your soul.
Messenger: Oh God, we ask You for the grace to help us to experience more fully Your love this day, to feel the completeness within our hearts and our souls of knowing how it is to exist more fully in You, of knowing that our hearts are hearts of love. We ask for the grace to choose love despite all the turmoil, all the troubles, all of the anxieties, all of those things that hold us bound in our lives. We ask for the grace to let go and surrender and open our hearts to the grace that You wish to give us this afternoon at the end of this 108 day novena, to be better apostles to spread the burning love of Jesus to the world. Help us to let go of any hostility, any judgmental traits within our hearts, to be open to Your word and the Commandments, to be molded as children in the Father in the ways of God, to put aside pridefulness, selfishness and to love, to be selfless, open and to let God come and possess our souls. Come to Me, Lord, and possess my soul.
Jesus speaks: With your whole hearts I wish you to consecrate your hearts to My Heart and the Heart of My Mother, begging for the grace to be more intimately one in Me that you can say with St. Paul, " ...yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me."... (Ga 2:20)
SONG: A Song From Jesus
Messenger: How would Mary have us speak when we see the son and the daughter and know that they are not doing things that are pleasing to the Lord? How would Mary speak? And how would she act? And when would she be silent? She would never sin. And so there are many things in the world today that she would not partake in because it would be offensive to God.
"God Our Father, help us to make Our Mother our model more and more and to be molded more and more into the image and likeness of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
SONG: A Song From Jesus
Messenger: Who is my mother and who is my brother? Scripture says:
Matthew 12:50
'...Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'
And so in the Shepherds of Christ Movement we have become more and more this family united as we are molded more and more in His image and likeness. We truly have a long way to go, but as we live more and more according to the Father's will, living in the depths of His Heart, we have become more and more one as the Father wishes. And we can sing:
SONG: One Bread, One Body
Messenger: May we be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. There will be one flock with one Shepherd, Jesus Christ, the Chief Shepherd of the Flock. We pray for our priests that they will be the shepherds to lead the world into this great oneness where there will be life in Him, life according to the truth, the word and His Commandments. We want to be one, the more that all live in accordance to the Father's will, the more that we will be one, brothers and sisters in Him. We pray from the bottom of our hearts:
"Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen."
Jesus speaks: I wish the consecration prayers to appear here, also consecration prayers for priests and children. The short consecration can always be said.
"I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."
