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: I went to a funeral.
Messenger: As I stood at the grave site and the priest read the prayers, I experienced Jesus standing by the hole into which the coffin would be lowered. He was tall and dressed in white with His brown hair. I felt His presence as He stood next to the priest and I saw the picture of the open tomb from the message a few days ago.
I saw the family which were relatives of my family and I saw like I saw at Emily's grandfather's funeral. A beautiful family, sons and daughters of this man, 94 years old. His grandchildren and great grandchildren were there. His body would be laid in the ground next to his wife's grave.
All through the Mass I saw him healthy and smiling, for he was with us on many holidays, Thanksgivings and Christmases.
It became so clear to me how natural is this process of being born, living and dying, and I felt so close to heaven at the funeral and cried to God to help us in this mission to help save souls. Our mission is so important. Life here on earth is just temporary.
Oh, the seasons pass and one year turns into another and soon that day comes when our bodies are laid to rest in a hole in the earth.
And I heard the priest say, "Because God has chosen to call our brother Harry from this life to himself, we commit his body to its resting place, for we are dust and unto dust we shall return."
And then he said, "For our brother Harry, let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ who said, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me shall live even in death and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.'"

Messenger: My heart burns for Jesus, I want to live with Him so deep in my heart and for all eternity. I want others to know how close He truly is and that He loves souls so much.
I am grateful to God for our Church, the Mass and the Eucharist in the tabernacle. I am so grateful to God for His grace and for good people that show me love and serve God. I love all souls. He loved them all to His death on the cross.
Please pray with me and help me reach them with His message of love.
Messenger: A seed is planted. If it is watered and cared for, it grows. It has a beginning, it has a prime time of greatest beauty or a time of bearing great fruit, and then it begins to wither and die. It is all in the natural process.
But He breathed in us a human soul and our souls never die. He gives us a sharing in His divine life in a special way in Baptism.
He is the first-fruits. Jesus is the first born of the dead.
John stood beneath the cross with Mary.
We partake in that heavenly sacrifice.
Sometimes we may be like Mary Magdalene, and yet we can be changed in our hearts to love Him so passionately. He is the God of fire and light. He is the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
He is worthy of praise and love and thanksgiving.
He controls our breath, our heartbeat.
He calls us each by name. He knew our name as He hung on the cross. He saw us in the garden. The love for us swelled up in His Sacred Heart and He gave Himself for us.
Oh, God, help us to realize more Your love for us and through our lives spread the message of Your love to all souls.
A little mark on the arm one day, a leg that gives in, and then the curtain of life comes down on the troubled soul.
We aren't here on this earth forever. Jesus wept at the death of Lazarus his dear friend. Mary and Jesus weep for the souls that die and condemn themselves to hell.
Messenger: HE IS SAVIOR.
GOD THE VICTOR
HE ROSE VICTORIOUS.
He has stood at the grave of His friends, while others gazed on in a daze. They didn't yet see the miracle of a seed. When nurtured it grows into a mighty oak, but a tornado can rip it from its roots.
HE CAME TO GIVE US LIFE TO THE FULL.
Excerpt from December 7, 1998, Daily Message
Mary speaks: It was a cold blustery day. After two weeks of falling because his knees gave out, Oscar entered the doctor's office and began tests. By the end of the week he found out his body was filled with cancer and he had only a few months to live. He was a big businessman with lots of clients and a busy schedule. He really didn't have a lot of time for the family and love. Much time was spent in making contacts for his business. It took many hours for social connections. He played a lot of golf at the country club. He took long trips, half pleasure, half business, to make the right connections. He had built a very secure castle for his life here below. He was fixed with insurance and financial security. It never dawned on him how temporary everything really was here on the earth. He was in good health, or so he thought. He had his check-ups regularly. He tried to exercise and eat right. He told himself that what counted was his name and his money. He was very concerned with what others thought of him and centered his life on creating an image among men. He wanted to be accepted by men.
My children, I loved Scotty and Oscar, I tried to reach them. Many prayed for Oscar, but few prayed for Scotty. Many souls do not have anyone to pray for them.

A Message from Mary - July 27, 2000
Mary speaks: In the spring of life, many souls found the days of autumn come and in the winter they died a pitiable death.
The day was sunny and bright outside the funeral home, and inside Oscar's family mourned for his passing.
Jesus speaks: THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM JESUS
Ezekiel 34: 11-16
"For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest -- declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be true shepherd to them.
Jesus speaks: THIS IS MY MOVEMENT, SHEPHERDS OF CHRIST.
I am calling you to help Me.
I AM the Good Shepherd.
Psalm 23
Psalm Of David
Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
In grassy meadows he lets me lie.By tranquil streams he leads me
to restore my spirit.
He guides me in paths of saving justice
as befits his name.Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death
I should fear no danger, for you are at my side.
Your staff and your crook are there to soothe me.You prepare a table for me
under the eyes of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup brims over.Kindness and faithful love pursue me
every day of my life.
I make my home in the house of Yahweh
for all time to come.
John l0:14
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
John 6:48-50
I am the bread of life.
Your fathers ate manna in the desert and
they are dead;
but this is the bread
which comes down from heaven,
so that a person may eat it and not die.
1 Corinthians 15:54-57
A hymn of triumph. Conclusion
And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immorality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 John 1:1-4
The Incarnate Word
and sharing with the Father and the SonSomething which has existed
since the beginning,
which we have heard,
which we have seen with our own eyes,
which we have watched
and touched with our own hands,
the Word of life-
this is our theme.
That life was made visible;
we saw it and are giving our testimony,
declaring to you the eternal life,
which was present to the Father
and has been revealed to us.
We are declaring to you
what we have seen and heard,
so that you too may share our life.
Our life is shared with the Father
and with his Son Jesus Christ.
We are writing this to you
so that our joy may be complete.
Excerpt from July 21, 2000 daily message
Messenger: In a few days on July 31, it will be the wonderful feast of our beloved St. Ignatius Loyola. The nine day period before begins July 23. Let's all join together and ask St. Ignatius to intercede to God to grant grace that the Jesuits will help us more and more in this mission. That the Jesuits will help us spreading the priestly newsletter and the consecration and rosary to the earth and all that is needed to help spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart as Jesus desires. We will pray in this 9 day period for ourselves and our calling to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart. We will pray for the Jesuits, whom we love, through the intercession of St. Ignatius.
I love St. Ignatius so much. Every July 31, I have received the most wonderful graces on this Feast at Mass that day. I feel really close to St. Francis Xavier, too. I think we should pray through his powerful intercession and that of St. Claude La Columbiere and St. Margaret Mary.
Let's make this nine day novena praying through their powerful intercession.

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.
