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.

  


                       
               Pray for 5 urgent intentions.

               Pray for a particular bishop and cardinal.

               Pray for the pope.
                         
               We desperately need funds.
                Please pray for this.

Messenger:    Here is a letter I wrote to a priest in Africa.
  

                       Pray for the Reign of the

                        Sacred Heart and

                    triumph of Mary's

                        Immaculate Heart
  


  

                       Dear Father,

                            I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with

                       you in love.

                            Thank you for all you have done to

                       spread the devotion to the Sacred

                       Heart and Immaculate Heart.

                            Mary really wants the people of the 

                       world to consecrate their hearts to the 

                       Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

                            If we can get our children to say

                       the "say daily card", it would help,

                       if we could get the elderly to

                       use the say daily card, it would help.

Messenger:        I am sorry it has taken us so much time

                       to send you materials.

                            Jesus wants prayer chapters in Africa,

                       Jesus speaks of Africa so much. Jesus

                       wanted us to get the Blue Books in

                       Africa.

                            Right now we are sending what we

                       can.

                            I am so happy to write to you. Africa

                       is deep in my heart and I want the Sacred

                       Heart of Jesus to reign in the hearts

                       of the people  of the earth and I

                       want people to love Jesus so much

                       and know His love. I want the souls

                       of the earth to make Jesus Christ

                       the King and center of their hearts.

                            Thank you for helping us to do

                       what Jesus and Mary have asked us to do

                       by spreading devotion to the Sacred

                       Heart and Immaculate Heart.

                            Jesus wants people to love Him and

                       know His love. We want to tell men

                       about Jesus, truly present in the

                       Eucharist.

                            Oh, I pray so fervently for the Reign

                       of the Sacred Heart and triumph of

                       Mary's heart.

                            We must encourage the children to give

                       their hearts to Jesus and Mary and pray the

                       rosary and to unite to the Mass praying

                       for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and

                       triumph of Mary's heart.
  

                            Dear Father,

                                    Please unite with us in

                       your prayers for these things mentioned

                       above. Please, pray with me that people

                       know the Father, the Son and the Holy

                       Spirit, most intimately. It is so important 

                       that we consecrate our hearts to the Hearts 

                       of Jesus and Mary. People all over the earth 

                       need to know Jesus is a Divine Person, 

                       Jesus is the Son of God.

                            Please keep in touch—

                                    with much love in

                                    the Hearts of Jesus and

                                    Mary.

 

                                    Rita Ring

Messenger:         Please pray with us on the 5ths and 

                                13ths.

                       We have a special prayer

                            service in Florida under the

                            image.

                            did a rosary as Mary

                                    asks on the 5th.

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.

Dear Father,

As we cannot send out foreign currency to help with your great work for Shepherds of Christ Ministries could I offer Mass for you all on 21 to 25th of May to cover any stipend Masses you may have to say. Use the money for your work instead.

    We are grateful for your work for priests and share the periodical you send with our students - 115 this year and next year 145.

    Keep Zimbabwe in your prayers at this time of need - political and economic hardships are serious and we need all the help we can get and I mean spiritual help.

    I am over 80 and still am spiritual Father here with work in the library and some student for direction as well as organizing the spiritual activities. Enough for an octogenarian!

    Keep up the good work and be sure we appreciate it,

                            Yours sincerely in the Lord,

                            Fr. ___________

Dear friends,

What another surprise it was for me to receive the volumes of the letter Shepherds of Christ spirituality newsletter. It was a moment of great joy because it enlightens and guides me on my spiritual journey as a priest. I can assure you that I have always read it with deep interest and devotion. This is a letter that is helping me a lot now especially in my new ministry as a formator of seminarians the priests of tomorrow.

The reflections of the Eucharist, Prayer and Priesthood are captivating and fascinating for me to mention but few.

To continue drawing from this source of spiritual enrichment I am forwarding to you my request for more material, which I hope, will be good for seminarians too. These are hereby indicated on the order form and some rosaries.

Meanwhile I wish you all the best of God's blessing in this ministerial service you are offering to us as priests.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Fr. __________

Dear Shepherds of Christ Promoter,

    Greetings, prayers and best wishes from Kenya. I want to express my profound gratitude to you for the Shepherds of Christ first News Letter in form of a book, which I received through Br. ____. I am also grateful for the prayer cards, which were in that book. God bless you.

    I am a Contemplative Evangelizing priest. I am a Rector and a teacher of Liturgy in our Theologicum. Your Shepherds of Christ Spirituality News Letter will help me much to grow in my spiritual life and at the same time to help Seminarians as well.

    Br. ____ has been asking me to offer Holy Mass for this group. After quite a long time, I asked him to introduce me to you and am grateful that he did so. I want to know and understand more about this Shepherds of Christ Ministries. So I would like you to help me with remaining volumes of this newsletter.

    Reading in this Shepherds of Christ News Letter, I found that you have also some cassettes, if it possible I would like to have them for my Seminarians. I am very happy to be one of your members.

    With thanks and prayers, I am your brother in Christ;

                                                Fr. _____
