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.


Jesus speaks: Communities are centered around the Eucharist.

They unite at Mass and pray before the Blessed Sacrament.

Those in the Shepherds of Christ communities main centers try to attend daily Mass together when possible and at least weekly Mass when it is impossible to worship so frequently.

Married couples and families are strengthened when united at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and when united in adoration in the same church before the Blessed Sacrament.

I come to turn the world into a city of light.

I want My brides faithful to Me.

THE POWER IS IN THE EUCHARIST.


March 26, 1996  (from the Apostles' Manual)

Messenger: I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it all.

To be so aware of the Almighty God truly present in His splendor and glory--to know the presence of God, to see the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross behind Him--my beauteous love--words do not exist to describe the rapture of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted--a light beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of men.

We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for the vision of God.

Note: I cried all through this writing, having the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work within you.

And I was filled on high with His miraculous light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Note: As I finished, the bells at All Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of the founder in this great mission given to him by the Father.

For the founder from Jesus:

Jesus speaks: To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within him.

I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass, grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love. The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed.

To you, My beloved son, the founder, I have sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth. The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb.

There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

I have written your name in My Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son, forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love to the priest-sons of this earth.

I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

(End of March 26, 1996 message)


Jesus speaks: There will be more and more sub-centers created from strong apostles.

They will be little cities of light manned by a capable apostle to help bring to that area a hub to foster the promotion of materials, especially the PRAYER MANUALS and HOLY SPIRIT NOVENA BOOKS and to reach the priests in that community with the priestly newsletter and the prayer books mentioned above.

       

Jesus speaks: From these centers you will try to circulate the cards:

        

Jesus speaks: On February 23, 1994, I gave the message "A CITY ON A HILL SHINES TO THE WORLD" 5:30 A.M.

Listen to the first paragraph as I spoke to you then.

A City on a Hill Shines to the World

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!


Jesus speaks: At 5:30 a.m., February 23, 1999, I gave the message to begin the 6:20 prayer format as you pray now, this format was given again on Pentecost, June 11, 2000.

From February 23, 1994:

"You at this Center will be this city. You will be the true Center that places the mark on this world."

The purpose of these centers is to help promote the 6:20 prayer chapters and prayer chapters in general.

I call Indianapolis, Pennsylvania, Dover, many places to see the importance of little centers of light, drawing the communities and the parish churches into a more fervent prayer life and active participation in the Morning Offering.

Jesus speaks: From the centers you can try to reach all souls, nursing homes, prisons, schools with the little card that they offer their lives up united to the Mass for souls, the Church, the world, the priests, the religious.

From these centers you can distribute the rosary meditations, promoting the rosary program for schools, Holy Spirit book for children being confirmed, distributing prayer cards, rosaries and begin rosary making clubs.

The rosary is My Mother's instrument to promote peace. Those making rosaries should come together to promote peace and harmony and love. I wish rosaries to be made correctly with love, with love. Guidelines are given to produce good rosaries for the world.

My centers are so important to Me.

I will set the world on fire with My burning love.

Will you help Me by spreading My prayers and the newsletter, the rosaries and My Blue Book messages?

Sub-centers must be run as directed by Me through well established apostles, handmaids, servants and priests. They cannot depart from the truth, including the basic principles of My Movement, Shepherds of Christ.

This mission will not be mixed with other missions when conducting the basic prayer services of the 6:20 format.

I wish this format followed.

Other prayer groups which are not sub-centers may wish to say the prayers I have given.

These prayer groups can use the prayer manual as I have directed. It is important to pray the prayers.


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.


Messenger: Message given First Friday December 6, 1996, eleven days before Mary appeared on the building in Clearwater.


First Friday - December 6, 1996  (from the Apostles' Manual)

Jesus speaks: I am calling you as a family. You will be joined in one heart, acting as My Heart beating in this world. All the apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are joined in one Heart.

am_p180.gif (44585 bytes)

Messenger: The core leaders will contact the coordinators. The coordinators will contact the individual apostles. All are apostles with a job directed by Jesus to do. Her peace plan was given at Fatima:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.
  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.
  3. We must observe the Five First Saturday devotion:
    - Communion, confession (within 8 days before or after the Saturday), recital of the rosary, meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary. All this is to be done in spirit of reparation.
  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

His plan centers around this.

We have heads functioning in the individual ministries. Everything we do leads to consecration of hearts. As the apostles press on the three institutions, the Church, family, and school to help spread the consecration, the strayed ones will be led home to His Heart.

Mary said at Fatima until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

The present condition of the world

am_p182.gif (16895 bytes)

Messenger: Peace will come when hearts are hearts of love. The scales must shift. It will happen through the consecration. Mary's peace plan: until a sufficient amount of people consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace.

am_p183.gif (16494 bytes)

Messenger: The Father looks to the earth; He sees much darkness.

Image3.gif (1823 bytes)

Messenger: The Father looks to the earth. There are few hearts fervently in love with God. The hearts of love light up the earth. It is as lights on a Christmas tree. It is sparsely lighted by a few hearts. Therefore, the tree looks dark.

Image4.gif (2641 bytes)

Messenger: As the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads (as well as other movements focused on spreading consecration to Their Hearts) the tree is covered with more hearts and the earth becomes more lighted.

The tree is covered with hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The tree is illuminated.

As the Shepherds of Christ apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family, and the school, the tree is covered with lights and the earth is covered with the fire of His love.

The Father looks to the earth now. He is displeased with the hearts of men. The Father wants us to love God and love each other. He wants us to live according to His will in love.

Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God. She tells us what we must do. Mary's peace plan:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.
  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.
  3. We must observe the First Saturday devotion.
  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Mary said there will be an era of peace, no matter what we do, in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

Man disobeys, the devil blocks the Fatima message. World War II happens just as Mary said.

Mary appeared to me for 14 months daily. She gives us the same message as Fatima. Jesus and Mary give us God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He writes His message of love on our hearts. His life lives in our hearts. The Scripture and the Mass live in our hearts.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, our focus is on the priest.

(End of December 6, 1996 message)


Messenger: On December 7, 1996 - 10 days before Mary appeared on the building in Clearwater the message began with the following scripture quotes:


Isaiah 30: 19-26

Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you
   when your cry for help rings out;

as soon as he hears it,
   he will answer you.

When the Lord has given you
   the bread of suffering

      and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher
   with your own eyes.

Your ears will hear these words
   behind you,

'This is the way, keep to it,'
whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean
   the silverplating of your idols

and goldplating of your images.
You will throw them away
   like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'

He will send rain
   for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides
   will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze
   in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land

will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain,
   on every high hill

there will be streams and water-courses,
   on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be
   bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be
   seven times brighter

--like the light of seven days in one--
on the day Yahweh dresses
   his people's wound

and heals the scars of the blows
   they have received.


Isaiah 40: 1-8

'Console my people, console them,'
says your God.
'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh,
   she has received
double punishment for all her sins.'

A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be levelled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'

A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said,
   'What shall I cry?'

--'All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever.'


Messenger: You can click on for the whole message which ends with the Revelation quote Revelation 12: 1-12.

I include Revelation 12: 1-2 here.


Revelation 12: 1-2

The vision of the woman and the dragon

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.


Jesus speaks: I call you to spread My prayers and the revelations given here along with the priestly newsletter.

Tell the people to give up their lives to Me.

Jesus speaks: I ask the message February 23, 1994, from Blue Book II be printed here and to remember that I gave the message February 23, 1999, to begin the present 6:20 format which then began February 25, 1999.

A City on a Hill Shines to the World

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. My life is the life inside that cannot be contained. It is bursting and budding forth. My life is the real life. To possess the life of Christ within your breast! Such power! I am the city set on a hill that will stand united and shine to this world. You at this Center will be this city. You will be the true Center that places the mark on this world.

The love of Christ, abounding deep within the breasts of all, will be the power and the might. Pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus. I will operate in the hearts of all there and minister to My sick world. I am the Heart of Jesus. I am on fire with love of each and every soul. When My love is found in all the hearts there, the light of God will shine to this world!

You are the city, set on a hill, that shines to the darkened world. I will light the world with the love of Jesus that shines in the hearts of those who are fed there. My light is so bright. My power is endless. You are the light to the dark world. You contain the mighty medicine to bring My sick ones to Me. You will bring so many back to Me and My intense love, burning so brightly for all!

I am the power. I am the might. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. I give Myself to you that you will live. You will radiate My presence from your very being.

It cannot be contained. It will live in all hearts who come to you to be fed.

You are the key to enkindle this burning love of Jesus in the hearts of so many. Many will know Jesus through your love of Me. Read these letters every day for I am truly speaking to you here. I love each child so dearly and want to have an intimate union with that child. Teach all about the burning love of Jesus. Read My messages with your heart on fire so you can tell all of My ardent love for them.

I long to be close to them. I am a person. I am God, on fire for love of My people. Bring all to the ardent love of Jesus. Mary is by My side constantly. Where I am, she is there. She wants all to be led to My ardent, longing love. Teach all about My love. Fill them so they are overflowing in their hearts. This is the mighty medicine. It is My letter of intense, ardent love for My people.

I am truly here, little ones. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I will live strongly in the hearts of all who come to you. You will be the key. Focus on your intense love of Me. Read My letters as a cookbook for intimacy with Me. My love waits for each person and I tell you here how to be close to Me. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire for love of you. I am longing for you to come and be with Me in silence. I will give you all you need.

I am the Alpha. I am the Omega. I am your all. I am God, one, true and magnificent, and I come to you with ardent love in Holy Communion and in the tabernacle. I am present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. I am waiting. Our love affair waits and it depends on you. I am there and I am waiting. You keep us apart.

Tell them how I long for them and have all they need. The love of Christ will light their city. You will stand as the lighted city in darkness. My love will be that by which you light this dark world. Oh, such power, such might! The love of God will reign in the hearts of all you touch. You are My vessel to draw this world to the love of Jesus.

Read and study My letters and be taught about My ardent love. I am Jesus Christ and I am teaching you about My love on fire for all. Come and be powered by the hand of God. My love will rock the world off its rocker when it reigns in the hearts of those who come to you. I love you so! You are My beloved. I will use you to light My dark world. You will shine as candles in the darkest night and you will be the instruments I use to light their wicks. I am God and I love them so dearly!

This is My love for all. Power and might will shine forth on the land. I am the brightest light. Look into the light for the light. Look into the arms of Jesus. I will light this world through you. Alleluia. And the angels sang and the choirs of heaven were heard for the earth proclaimed the Love of Jesus. Alleluia


Jesus speaks: My sweet ones - it is fire I want.

FIRE IN YOUR HEARTS.

It is obedience the Father wants, obedience to His plan.

My sub-centers will be little cities of light.

Messenger: On February 23, 1997, Jesus gave a message, this message entitled "Sacrifice" included the passage from Scripture of the sacrifice God asked Abraham to make by offering his son Isaac. It also included the transfiguration passage from Mark. (Click on for this message, it is in the Apostles' Manual).

One of the two writings used in the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart booklet was given February 23, 1996.

Jesus speaks: I wish you to put the Words of Surrender here and pray it all through the day.


Words of Surrender of a Soul

Words of Consecration to God

Today Lord, (today's date), I give You my entire will-

I give You all my liberties, I want to love and serve You as You desire.

I surrender myself to You.

I ask You to run my life.

I ask You to help me act like You, Jesus, and like Your Mother Mary.

God, this day I consecrate myself to You.

I am  (name) , Your beloved child, guide me on my way now as I go about my day (or if in Church) as I leave Your Eucharistic presence.


Jeremiah 1: 1, 4-10

The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests living at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.

The call of Jeremiah

 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying:

    ‘Before I formed you in the womb
        I knew you;
    before you came to birth
        I consecrated you;
    I appointed you as prophet to the nations.’

    I then said, ‘Ah, ah, ah, Lord Yahweh; you see, I do not know how to speak: I am only a child!

    But Yahweh replied,
    ‘Do not say, “I am only a child,”
    for you must go to all to whom I send you
    and say whatever I command you.
    Do not be afraid of confronting them,
    for I am with you to rescue you,
    Yahweh declares.’

    Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me:

    ‘There! I have put my words
        into your mouth.
    Look, today I have set you
    over the nations and kingdoms,
    to uproot and to knock down,
    to destroy and to overthrow,
    to build and to plant.’

Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary 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.

(End of Mary's Message)


MY VALENTINE FOR JESUS AND MARY
AND THE WORLD

You Jesus and Mary on this day
