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: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.
Messenger: My Father, spread the Blood of Your Son on all of us and all we touch, cast the devil away from us. We consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and ask for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
My God, help us...
My God, for the sake of souls and the renewal of the Church and the world, hear us.
My God, purify us.
My God, please increase our faith.
My God, give us, please, the grace we need and provide the funds we need.
We beg You to hear us, Father, and help us.
Jesus speaks: put on the Internet.
Messenger: Sometimes we can "beat" someone we love to the ground because of our own insecurities.
Jesus speaks: Look with the eyes of love.
Be thankful, pray always.
Have faith.
Have hope.
This is the secret, My sons and daughters, pray for an increase of the virtues of Faith, Hope and Love.
Pray for an increase of all the virtues.
Excerpt from July 12, 2000 daily message
Mary speaks: My dear little children,
I am your Mother Mary, do not lose heart, come to me. I am with you in all your trials. Today I speak of joy, for it is joy I want in your heart. I want you to be joyful, for you bring great joy to the earth when you worship your God in the Blessed Sacrament from His place in China, Indiana. This is His Eucharistic Center, do not let Satan get you bowed down, take all your troubles to Jesus and lay them beneath the foot of the altar, at the foot of my Son Jesus. He is God, you serve Him and love Him and He hears your prayers. He allows you to suffer for the sinners of the world. He allows you to suffer to draw you closer to Him, He allows you to receive special grace there. These days, July 12 - 14, please Him greatly. If you cannot go there, unite with all their prayers in honoring God. This would please Him. Oh, my little children, focus on all the good you have accomplished and rely on Him. How you pray these next few days can make a great difference. Faith, my little ones. Your God is with you. He is almighty, pray with a humble heart and give Him the greatest honor. Praise Him, go to Him as His little child. Say, "Father, in the name of your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of my Mother Mary, and the intercession of all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, hear the cry of your little child, heal me and all the souls of this earth and help us, Father, regarding all our needs to do the work your Son Jesus and our Mother Mary have asked us to do. Father, as your little child I beg you to hear me. I unite this humble prayer to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and I pray in Him, my beloved Spouse and Bridegroom. I love you so much."
My children, I am your Mother Mary and I am with you NOW.

From The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje:
In her July apparition, Our Lady further revealed her plan to the children and to the world:
During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "0 my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)
During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. (13)

Jesus speaks: BE LOVING, TRUST IN MY Sacred Heart.
Do not let Satan create suspicion in your hearts.
Work as a family, promoting My Father's Plan.
Do all things for the honor and glory of God.
The following Imprimatur applies to the Prayer for Union with Jesus, and not to the message above or below it.
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 speaks: My children, here is a story of a soul's
last lament.
"Oh, I had the Eucharist. Oh, I had the Mass, Jesus was there in the tabernacle. I could have prayed to Him and put my trust in Him. I could have had faith, but I said no. I wanted my earthly pleasures, I wanted the things that sometimes took me further and further from Him. I knew I could have said no to certain things He wouldn't like, but I was afraid of what people would say or think, so I even supported them half-heartedly because others did, but in my heart I knew what My Redeemer wanted.
Now I am old and gray, I see the years gone and past. I see the children grown, living similar to many of my ways, and they wouldn't listen, they too have their own plans.
I see the years of suspiciousness when I should have been grateful and accepted their love, trusted in them and prayed to God.
It is the last day of my life I am told, I probably won't make it through the night. I heard the doctors speaking in the room as I lay here half unconscious, knowing my body probably won't hold on much longer.
My mind feels alert now and yet I cannot even seem to move myself because of the exhaustion and the cancer that has eaten my body, my limbs.
I look back over the years when I was so anxious and trying to get ahead, and now I know in a few hours, I may leave it all behind. Material things I will not take with me. At least God gave me the time before I go, to reflect and tell Him I am sorry for not being thankful enough for all the love He sent my way.
I see now that what really mattered was God and spreading His message to all. In a few hours I may pass from this life, and I will not be able to help anyone here anymore in an earthly way. I can't even help myself to get to heaven once I've died.
Oh Lord help me, I pray, help all the souls of the earth."
Mary speaks: My children, in varying ways many souls go through the last anguishing hours of life. Some are aware of the time at hand, others' lives are ended quickly like the thief who comes in the night unannounced.
My children, I give this story and this message. Live fully the moments of your lives, realizing how your lives given to Jesus can help save souls.
The day will come when the ax hits the tree and it could be cut down in an instant.
You will not return to put the lid on your toothpaste, or pack your bag. You take no carrying bag, you wear no shoes, you enter the Kingdom of God only wearing your good merits, being true lovers of God.
The ways of God are not like the ways of many men.
I truly appear on the building to deliver this message-
TURN YOUR LIVES BACK TO GOD, MY CHILDREN.
I AM MARY YOUR MOTHER.
Jesus speaks: Write to Me. Get down deep in your heart and tell the truth. Tell Me about your fears of being alone, of not being loved... Go deep into your past relationships. Write every day and tell Me about your insecurities. Then read My Blue Books and KNOW MY LOVE.
From today's Mass
Isaiah 6: 1-8
In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; his train filled the sanctuary. Above him stood seraphs, each one with six wings: two to cover its face, two to cover its feet and two for flying; and they were shouting these words to each other:
Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh Sabaoth.
His glory fills the whole earth.The door–posts shook at the sound of their shouting, and the Temple was full of smoke.
Then I said:‘Woe is me! I am lost,
for I am a man of unclean lips
and I live among a people of unclean lips,
and my eyes have seen the King,
Yahweh Sabaoth.’Then one of the seraphs flew to me,
holding in its hand a live coal which it had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs.
With this it touched my mouth and said:‘Look, this has touched your lips,
your guilt has been removed
and your sin forgiven.’I then heard the voice of the Lord saying:
‘Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?’
And I said, ‘Here am I, send me.’
Psalm 93: 1-2, 5
Yahweh is king, robed in majesty,
robed is Yahweh and girded with power.The world is indeed set firm, it can never be shaken;
your throne is set firm from of old,
from all eternity you exist.Your decrees stand firm, unshakeable,
holiness is the beauty of your house,
Yahweh, for all time to come.
1 Peter 4:14
If you are insulted for bearing Christ’s name, blessed are you, for on you rests the Spirit of God.
Matthew 10: 24-33
‘Disciple is not superior to teacher, nor slave to master. It is enough for disciple to grow to be like teacher, and slave like master. If they have called the master of the house "Beelzebul", how much more the members of his household?
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.
End of today's readings
Luke 12:42
The Lord replied, ‘Who, then, is the wise and trustworthy steward whom the master will place over his household to give them at the proper time their allowance of food?
Mary's Message from the Rosary of August 27,
1996Mary 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.
