Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately.

excerpt from July 12, 2001 message
Messenger: I see now that what I may have perceived
as blocks were indeed bridges to
greater purity in the Movement and
bridges to lead us into a deeper
acceptance of His Movement
in the Church.
How could we have advanced
thus far if in fact we did not
suffer, pressing forward and
being cut back as He formed us
more and more into an instrument
He intended to use for a great
purpose.
All we must want is His will, no matter
how uncomfortable it may feel at
times or we may not
understand it at the time.
His will for this Mission has been made
clearer through the messages they help
lead us more and more into this great
era of peace.
This is for the world.
This is the work of God.
How can He work if big directions to
contact people are not followed?
Every connection has its purpose
in His plan.
Every detail He is tending to.
Remember bridges to success.
Remember the shouts of victory
will be heard.
He is the Chief Priest.
He is the Victor.
What is the priest to do? He must
model His life after
the Chief Priest –
the Chief Shepherd of the Flock.
The blocks we may have experienced were bridges
for our own personal advancement
to be able to be His instruments
in this mission.
If we look at every obstacle as an end –
we end there!!
If we look at every obstacle as a beginning –
we begin there.
Every runner must see the finish line in
his heart.
If he falls and stops, he will not win
that race.
If he falls and gets up and is filled with
determination to win he may, in
fact, finish the race first.
The direction is not determined by the
The obstacles may slow someone down,
but the dream may continue despite
the suffering.
What is the Plan of the Father?
How many souls will be saved?
What is the cry of the Blessed Mother?
How many did Jesus die for?
All of these questions should be considered.
Especially this one.
For how many did He die to save?
How can we give up, when He has called us?
I watched a war movie.
Some men underneath wanted their
own plan, they worked against
the President.
What can happen when men underneath
do their own thing?
God is the Creator.
He has the Plan.
How many work their own plan?
How many are affected by willfulness and
sins of others?
Remember this: blocks may be bridges to
holiness, they may be the very things
used by God to help us to be trained
to do the difficult tasks later.
Blocks can be great gifts from God.
The soul that only wants Him and His will
can only look on suffering as an
opportunity He will use to take us to Victory.
Study the passion.
Study the way of the New Adam.
Walk with Him on the way to the cross.
When He fell He got up again and again
and again.
The Victory has been won.
The eternal reward awaits those who
love and serve the Lord and try to live
according to God's will.
"Thy will be done on earth as it is
in heaven."
Blocks have helped us grow deeper and deeper
in our prayer life.
Blocks have helped us surrender and give
more to Him.
This movement isn't about control, it
is about serving God as He so desires,
the lesson is taught in the 10
commandments.

July 25, 2001
Messenger: We prayed at the healing rosary in Sidney and
Our Lord gave us deep insights into peace
and happiness within ourselves.
At Mass this morning I prayed through the
intercession of St. James the apostle for
light to see, I prayed in such a deep connection
to him and all the angels and saints and Fr. Carter.
More and more He shows me my faults in dealing with
others and gives me sorrow for my sins.
Freedom is found in ridding oneself of attachments,
to be willing to let Him come so deeply into
our souls that our focus is always Him,
our desire to love and serve Our Divine Master.
And it is my Divine Bridegroom that works on my soul.
It is my Divine Bridegroom that showers His grace
on my soul and gives me lights.
He is the initiator, I am the soul waiting for
His grace and He acts in me, but I keep
giving myself to Him more and more, I
keep turning my life over to Him.
I surrender my all to Him.
What do I do at Mass?
I don't think about things, I try to let go
and give myself to Him. I let Him act.
He acts in me, I experience the sorrow
for my sins, the joy of His goodness to me.
I am so sorry for my ingratitude for all the
sunny days I miss in being so caught up in
fear and feelings of not having enough of...
what—enough love when the Almighty
God is giving me everything I need today.
We must be united to Him. He is almighty.
We rely on Him and His might. He is
all-powerful. We are dependent on Him.
He is so attentive to my needs. He loves me more
than any human bridegroom on earth could.
He knows exactly what I need.
My sufferings must be accepted
as something He is allowing for my
growth (this is to say when we are given
suffering and it is God's will, we must accept it
and use it as God so desires.)
I am His. I am His, Rita, the one He has loved
to His death on the cross.
I must believe that in all my sins and in the ways
I have acted unloving, He forgives me when
I ask Him and He loves me anyway. He loves
me and He forgives me.
I ask Him to show me my unloving ways so I
can be loving.
I ask Him for sorrow for my sins.
I ask Him for light to see His goodness and
His plan for me.
I am so deeply united to Him in my prayer.
I am so connected to Him. It isn't a recitation
of words alone, it is from the depth of my soul.
I turn myself over to Him. I give myself as completely
as I can to Him and for His Divine Service.
I want peace, the peace that only He can give.
I pray for this—for light to see—to be sorry for sin—
to act as He wants me to act—to not be anxious,
but surrendering myself to Him.
He assured us in the rosary in Sidney how He
never leaves us. He is always there ready
to lead us into a deeper love union with
Him if we ask Him.
He is so loving.
The Mass is so wonderful.
Oh God -
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.
From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Loyola University Press
TAKE, LORD, AND RECEIVE
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me. To Thee, O Lord, I return it. All is Thine, dispose of it wholly according to Thy will. Give me Thy love and Thy grace, for this is sufficient for me.
July 25, 2001 message continues
Messenger: We pray all for His honor and
glory.
We pray Thy will be done.
We look for peace.
We learn to let go.
Peace begins in our own hearts.
Sometimes we look around and think if we fix
everything and everybody around us then
we will be happy.
Have you ever tried to tell a 2 year old what to do?
We see how everyone has a free will.
The hardest thing to do is to change ourselves. We must
pray for grace and light and be willing to change.
We may have had patterns of behavior our whole life
that are not helpful behavior patterns.
We are so blind many times we do not see our unloving ways.
Look at the blind man in Chapter 9 of John.
Jesus opened his eyes.
John 9:1 "...a man who had been blind from
birth."
Jesus opened his eyes.
Then the Chapter 10 of John.
John 10: 2-4
He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gatekeeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.
July 25, 2001 message continues
Messenger: We must follow Jesus, that is
why it is so
important to pray the rosary and
meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary.
It is crucial to follow Him, we must
meditate on His life.
The mysteries of the rosary are a key to help
us follow Him to grow in the spiritual life.
We should think about the humility of Mary.
We should see how Jesus and Mary always
did the will of the Father.
Jesus is God, He always did the will of His Father.
Mary obeyed the will of the Father.
The New Adam, the New Eve do the will of God.
Adam and Eve did their own will.
Happiness lies in this, in compliance to the will
of God.
In dwelling in Their Hearts we are most likely
to act according to God's will.
That is why it is so important to live
out our life of consecration to the
New Adam and the New Eve.
Oh, I want Him.
The goal must be Him.
The goal must be eternal life.
It is in this our happiness lies.
I look at the life of our Founder Father Carter.
He did show his love. He served men.
He was such a holy man.
A key I believe is that examination of
conscience twice a day.
Stopping and asking God to forgive us for
our ways that have offended Him is
so important, having sorrow for our sins.
There is a hell. We must really meditate on how
we offend God when we treat others unloving.
We must not give into satan. Satan will try to get
us to think thoughts of division toward our brothers.
Satan wants us to create a case against the ones we love.
If we focus on ourselves and our own faults
instead of blaming our own bad moods
on others, in the end we will have
greater happiness.
We can encounter Christ most deeply in
suffering. God allows us to suffer.
All we have to do is meditate
on the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary.
He show us, the Agony in the Garden.
He tells us to meditate on His scourged
body and His crowned Head.
He shows us how He carried the cross and
got up again and again.
He shows us His crucified body.
God may not act the way we think He should.
He wants us to grow in deeper holiness.
He shows us Death and Resurrection.
We meditate on the Glorious mysteries.
John 10: 10
I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full.
July 25, 2001 message continues
Messenger: We follow in His
footsteps.
The Almighty God comes a helpless little baby.
We are here to be transformed more and more in
His image and likeness.
The rosary is a tremendous key.
I pray my rosary all through the day.
I love the rosary and meditate on the mysteries.
Whenever I have to wait, I can pray my rosary.
I give all my problems to Him.
His love consumes me.
He truly loves me despite all my faults and
I truly love Him with my imperfect love.
Oh St. Ignatius help us in these days before your
feast to grow to be Shepherds of Christ,
soldiers in the army of Christ.
Oh St. Ignatius intercede for us.
You know that the devil tries to break down
what is good.
The Bible is the word of God.
Revelation 22: 18-19
This is my solemn attestation to all who hear the prophecies in this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him every plague mentioned in the book; if anyone cuts anything out of the prophecies in this book, God will cut off his share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are described in the book.
July 25, 2001 message continues
Messenger: It is Holy.
God wants us to respect His word.
He is the word.
The commandments must be obeyed.
excerpt from July 8, 1998 - the first Daily Message Book
Only Those on the Ark Survived the Great Flood
Jesus speaks: There are those on earth now that are living according to God's will, the Commandments, the truth, those that are not, those living their own will not following the Commandments, not living in the truth...
...I give you this Commandment, you were created to love God and love one another to live according to the Commandments, to live according to the Father's will, to live in truth according to His Word. You were created to be molded more into the image and likeness of God...
end of excerpt July 8, 1998 message
excerpt from August 21, 1998 - the first Daily Message Book
Jesus speaks: ...I give you My word and the Commandments. The word will be planted deep within your heart and soul. Man will live according to God's law in the Commandments. It is a covenant that man makes with His God, to love Him with his whole heart, his whole soul and his whole mind. It is in obedience to the Commandment to love God this way and to love your neighbor as yourself.
It is My word I use here to teach you, it is the Commandments that God gives to the children of the earth.
Sinful man will show to God their loyalty and their love. They will make recompense for their sins.
God has dominion over the earth, man is subject to Him.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, I am your God. I come amongst the clouds of glory to the thirsty barren earth below.
I am Jesus, the Son of God....

excerpt from August 28, 1998 - the first Daily Message Book
Mary speaks: ... The problems and the sicknesses in your world are because you do not obey the Ten Commandments and you are not living according to the word of God....
...You must face the basic problem that is making you a sick world. You must as children of God obey the Ten Commandments and live by the word of God....

Mary's
Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996I 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.Mary speaks:
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
A Note from the President of Shepherds of Christ:
If you are devoted to Our Lady's rosary, we need your help! A member of our ministry is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and he is helping to teach us how to grow our volunteer rosary makers. He estimates that we will need approximately $37,000 this year for beads alone! This translates into 22,339,500 rosary beads (yes, 22 million beads) assembled by volunteers into 378 thousand rosaries. The biggest users of our rosaries are the Catholic schools, who requested more than 100,000 rosaries last year.
Can you help us? I appeal to you for funds, whether large or small. We give because we love God, we love our Blessed Mother, and we love souls. We will accept gifts in many forms, besides cash or check donations, we can receive gifts directly in the form of stocks or property. These gifts can offer large tax advantages to the donor and increase the monetary value of the gift to us. Also if you can help assemble rosaries we need your help! If you can help us in anyway, please call or write us. God Bless!
I love you,
John Weickert
A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.
In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.
A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.
On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say:
May God heal through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.
Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.
May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
We believe with all our hearts.
After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.
May be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.

Note: You can look at Mary on the image rosary while you pray this rosary. |  |
