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: We were called to Florida to begin our apostle work in late June, 1995. On June 26, 1995, we arrived at Naples, Florida, went to early Mass, and then slept after a long journey. At 12:00, I was awakened to deliver a very timely message of June 26, 1995, that appears in the Apostles' Manual. The timing was crucial, and I made connections there that would help to spread Mary's message to the world from her site in Florida after she appeared on the building almost 1 1/2 years later.
I write on this Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist. We were sent on this mission near the time of this feast. We left either June 24, or June 25, of 1995, a couple of cars of apostles, to deliver rosaries and messages from our Lord and our Lady in Florida.
We were a voice crying in the desert to make ready a way for God's love and grace found in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which fills our hearts. The land is a desert now, the people are more hungry and ready to be filled more than at any time on the earth. The seeds the devil plants in his unending desire to fill hearts with confusion, untruths and evil have reached an all-time high.
St. John the Baptist was born, cried aloud in the desert and lost his head. He came not for his glory and honor but he came in the name of the Lord. Christ is the Head of the Church. Christ is the King. Is it not fitting that the one who proceeded Him lost his head? Peter was crucified upside down. Jeremiah suffered the trials of persecution. Joseph was put into a cistern by his own brothers.
I am a prophet, one who delivers messages from God.
Jesus said the dates would one day prove the validity of these messages. The dates are drilled in my soul. I write from the knowledge within me daily. My notebooks are in disarray and hidden under boxes in my basement, the files locked in the computer in a box of my typist who now resides in Florida, files which I have not been able to get to. But they are recorded in my being, for they have come from above.
Jesus speaks: My child, I write through you. You are the one I choose to write from My building in Florida to a world in a desert today. I will come in a profound way and flood the earth with grace when they obey My Mother and Me and do as We have told them to do. They remain as in a desert land while the devil devours their children with untruths taught by some even from holy institutions. You must pray as I have instructed for your priests and your Church and your world. I am the Good Shepherd. I speak in the priestly newsletter to My priests, I speak through you to My troubled world. There was one John the Baptist, one Virgin Mary, one St. Therese, one St. Paul, each having a unique mission. To try to quiet My messengers, Father Carter and Rita, will only delay the plan of the Father and Myself to aid in the renewal of the Church and the world.
Your culture is eating away your young and you do not see it. The television and media have become the authority in your lives. John the Baptist was beheaded. You live as My servants, you come in My name. You do not come in your own name. Your land is barren, there is need of more fruit for My Kingdom. I appear, My Mother appears, and you try to hide the gifts I give and ignore Me.
I am Jesus the Good Shepherd.
Messenger: He comes to save souls.
It is our work to help in this.
John 1:23
So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied:
A voice of one that cries in the desert:
Prepare a way for the Lord.
Make his paths straight!'
Messenger: I cry aloud that you listen to Him.
When messages were given on significant dates, the devil always gave a message elsewhere to combat it.
We are at war. It is purity we seek. It is TRUTH.
What follows is a writing from earlier this morning of a message from the messenger.
June 24, 1999 - 2nd message
A message from the messenger.
Messenger: I am filled with grief that in any way I may fail to do the work given by our beloved Lord to help to save souls.
Our great focus in the Shepherds of Christ besides that of personal holiness, greater spousal union with our God, giving Him great love and existing in Him, is to help to save souls.
I want to deliver the message of the Father, Our Lord and Our Lady so that we can reach souls in order that they will know God and His love and be with Him for all eternity.
Because of the burning love of my heart for souls, I do not want to fail in my mission as His apostle or fail to pray when I should.
I pray that God will take my feeble attempts to be His messenger and act most profoundly in me. I see I am but a tainted child of Eve and am completely dependent on Him and His grace.
If you are reading this, I pray you hear the words of the Good Shepherd and the cry of heaven in all these messages to help save souls.
I cry if my own selfishness may have hindered this process, for this is why I live.
I love the souls of this earth and want the world to be as He wishes, loving God and living according to the Father's will.
I wish the Church to reach full maturity in being the bride of Christ, bringing forth more and more the fruit for the Kingdom of God.
The call to the Shepherds of Christ is a serious call.
Many have not heard the voice of the Good Shepherd in these writings.
We have suffered many blockages in our efforts to help save souls and to give them the message of the Mother of how to pray.
Please do not listen to those who mock us or talk about us.
We have reached the far ends of the earth in our efforts to get people to pray for the Church and the renewal of the world.
If only people would consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, our world would be filled with hearts of love, living more and more according to the Father's will. We need funds to distribute all this material. The priestly newsletter now goes to about 70,000 priests in about 90 countries. The Blue Book messages, which tell of His burning love and His presence in the Eucharist, have led so many to His Eucharistic Heart wherein is found all the power.
This rosary given on Father's Day, and appearing on the Internet for you, was received verbally before a group of apostles. God wants our praise and love. God wants a deep personal union with us. We are meant to become more and more aware that we are little children of the Father and Mother.
I cry to you in this message. There is so much we can do to reach the children of the earth. Never in the history of the world has God given such a permanent sign of Our Lady appearing as she does on the Virgin Mary building in Clearwater, Florida. Why would people block our efforts to acquire the building in order to spread her material there promoting love of God, the rosary, praying for priests, the Church and the world? People have given their lives in this ministry. Some have left their jobs and family to do all they can to spread the priestly newsletter and to get people to pray before the Blessed Sacrament and to begin prayer chapters. Our lives are given to promote Jesus and to lead people, as Our Lady requested at Fatima, to pray the rosary.
Mary wants the building for this purpose. We have given our lives to promote this mission and spread it to the world as Jesus and Mary wish.
I cried this morning if in any way I have done anything that could turn a person off from helping, because I cry for souls and want all souls to be with Him in heaven.
Oh, eternity is forever and when the body is separated from the soul on that last day of death, we take nothing with us.
We have to reach the souls with these messages from heaven and people have to pray. We will not have peace until we obey the Fatima requests made by Mary.
GOOD SHEPHERD
|
QUEEN OF PEACE
|
Messenger: I cry with Mary beneath the cross for the many that will be lost. People have sized me up and criticized the beautiful messages from Jesus in God's Blue Books without reading a one or even knowing anything about Shepherds of Christ.
To focus on me or Father Carter, or John or any apostle is "stupid", because we are imperfect human beings, just like everyone here.
We are attempting to deliver a message from God.
The more the messages are blocked and you focus on me, the more the warnings and gifts are blocked.
Heaven will not change because you block me, you just do not receive the message.
It makes me cry to see the children being taught such untruth and now the truth is not presented so much of the time. Doctrines of Faith are twisted in movies and television, the word of God is changed and the Commandments are altered and ignored.
It is the work of the devil that blocks the voice of the Good Shepherd. If one listens to hearsay and blocks us without any knowledge of what we are even doing, that person contributes to helping the devil block us.
If you are reading this, I beg you to read the Blue Books, the Mass Books, pray the prayers once (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual), pray the Holy Spirit Novena. Pray the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, read the rosary meditations in the Rosary Book, read the priestly newsletter. Our whole Ministry is centered around that.
Please be informed concerning what we are doing before you get on the bandwagon and block us.
Please help us.
Souls are at stake.
We are constantly in need of funds to do all this. Mary wishes us to acquire the Virgin Mary building. She calls it her rosary factory. This week alone we recorded at least 10 tapes with rosary meditations given in the Rosary Book that have the Imprimatur. This request was made by Jesus and Mary to get tapes recorded by young adults and children to circulate to schools and others so they would pray the rosary.
Please see what we are all about before you criticize us.
A good part of our material has the Imprimatur.
We have suffered much persecution. To the extent we are blocked, to that extent we can't reach souls. I cry because I want to reach the precious souls He died for. He wants to save every soul. He gave His Life for all.
Look at the garbage that is out there in the world.
Look how sheepishly it is monitored.
And when we write of Jesus and His love and try to get people to pray, people who have never read a word of our materials or even know what we are doing persecute us.
What we are doing is praying day and night for our priests and our Church and our world and trying with all our hearts to get others to pray with us.
Our Lord is very careful that we do not publish any untruths. All materials are carefully checked by a competent theologian. We cannot take in material from the outside that may be tainted and untrue.
Our Lord has strongly told us exactly what we are to have so we will present the truth to the world in these writings.
The truth is badly altered in our world.
We stand firm when we live by the Commandments, the word and follow the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Please help us, do not condemn us when you don't know anything about us.
Some spend much of their time persecuting us and they have never even opened a prayer manual, or read a priestly newsletter.
There follow portions of the rosary given on Sunday, Father's Day, June 20, 1999, in a live rosary.
This has appeared this week at the request of heaven.
In a few hours we can receive so many messages as we pray the rosary. They are received verbally and transcribed from the tape.
That is what appears here.
ROSARY OF FATHER'S DAY - 6/20/99, continued (Some personal directions and information for the core chapters have been deleted).
The Fifth Glorious Mystery
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
4. Mary speaks: I am Mary your Mother and I ask you this. I ask you to circulate this rosary to all those involved. I ask all those that can come for prayer in Florida on July the 5th to come. All those that cannot come should stay at the Centers in Morrow, Ohio, and in China, Indiana, and pray as much as possible. Others can pray in their designated areas wherever they are. I ask those that can to pray before the Blessed Sacrament all through the day on the 5th. I further ask as my Son, Jesus, has requested that people come to pray in China, Indiana, on July 13th.
(NOTE: Please come to pray July 12, 1999 China, Indiana time, 12:30 p.m. until July 14, 1999,10:00 a.m., China, Indiana time. The major prayer service is 12:00 noon, July 13, 1999, China, Indiana time.)
Mary speaks: I ask all to do the 108 day novena as requested by my Son. (This novena started June 13, 1999, but it can be begun anytime. Check June 2, 1999 daily message for details.)
Mary speaks: You must continue to pray as you have done in the past. You are holding back the hand of my Son. I wish that you read the Father's message one more time. ...that they realize the importance of this rosary to the world. Come out of your tombs, my children, come out. Walk into the light for my Son, Jesus, has risen. He is calling you. You are the apostles. You have walked through the journey in this rosary with me, the Virgin Mary, and my Son, Jesus. The Father has been with you in a special way and also my Spouse the Holy Spirit. You have given great honor, devotion and love to your God. He loves you my children, my shepherd apostles, the ones that have been called. How was it that you heard His call when He said to you, "Come, follow Me, My child. I give to you this ministry."
God the Father speaks: It is because of your fervor to pray here, that you have helped to hold back the hand of My Son from punishing the earth with just punishment for the crimes committed against God.
Messenger: We do not know what is in the plan of the Father. When Carol set up the first visit of the apostles to Florida we never knew in that June at the very end of 1995, how the Shepherds of Christ Movement and Florida would be connected.
The following Imprimatur applies only to the Prayer for
Union with Jesus and not the message above or below.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
Jesus speaks: It was five years ago (refers to July 5, 1994) that your Mother appeared and soon after the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary were given to you. This is an important day to heaven, to the Father, to Me the Son, to the Holy Spirit, and to your Mother Mary. I call you to come on this day that you will recognize this as a great day of celebration for this earth, a great day on which you can thank your God for all the gifts that you've been given since your Mother's first appearance to you in the Shepherds of Christ. And for all the appearances that followed during the meetings on Tuesdays and other Fridays at 12:00 noon. You were given great gifts, My shepherds, but the gifts have become greater. Your Lord loves you with the greatest love. Do not be afraid. You must see the preciousness of yourself to God. Do not focus on yourselves, focus on the great love that God has for you. Stay rooted in the Scriptures and the Commandments. Listen to My call, for I call you, I call you, I call you and I say to you, My apostles, I say to you today, "Come, come and follow Me, oh beloved of My Father. My beloved ones, I see you. You are a treasure. You must realize that God has gifted you in a special way. Oh beloved of My Father, on this Father's Day here are your children, the children of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. This is My Movement for the priests, for the renewal of the Church and the world. But so often they do not hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and they do not properly recognize the great gift that I have given to them in the Eucharist.
"Oh My Father, I pray to You for this Movement, for this Shepherds of Christ Movement. My Father I am one in You. I ask You, My Father."
You must pray to the Father in this way. I have told you how to pray to Him that you too will pray, that you will not be afraid, that you will know that your God is one in you, that He loves you and that what you do will affect so many souls of the earth.
(end of excerpt from June 20, 1999 rosary)
Messenger: More excerpts from the end of rosary of June 20, 1999, will follow tomorrow. This message will be continued tomorrow with these excerpts.
Please use both messages as one.
From the Mass of June 20, 1999, a reading from the book of Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 20:10-13
I heard so many disparaging me,
'Terror on every side!
Denounce him! Let us denounce him!'
All those who were on good terms with me
watched for my downfall,
'Perhaps he will be seduced into error.
Then we shall get the better of him
and take our revenge!'
But Yahweh is at my side
like a mighty hero;
my opponents will stumble, vanquished,
confounded by their failure;
everlasting, unforgettable disgrace
will be theirs.
Yahweh Sabaoth,
you who test the upright,
observer of motives and thoughts,
I shall see your vengeance on them,
for I have revealed my cause to you.
Sing to Yahweh,
praise Yahweh,
for he has delivered the soul of one in need
from the clutches of evil doers.
From the Mass of June 20, 1999, a reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew:
Matthew 10:26-33
Open and fearless speech
'So do not be afraid of them. Everything now covered up will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight; what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the housetops.
'Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Can you not buy two sparrows for a penny? And yet not one falls to the ground without your Father knowing. Why, every hair on your head has been counted. So there is no need to be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
'So if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of human beings, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven. But the one who disowns me in the presence of human beings, I will disown in the presence of my Father in heaven.
Q: How do you feel we can better serve Our King and Master as a couple to help Him to be the King and Center of men's hearts?
