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: My life I give to you.  Sing Alleluia!!

Messenger: At Mass I was so one in Him praying for all souls. My heart is filled with joy to know this is reality, Christ Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

PLEAD, BEG, PRAY FOR SOULS.

Messenger: My heart is filled with such emotion to plead for grace and mercy from our loving God for souls.

July 28, 2000 - Third Message
Given Thursday evening, July 27, 2000

Messenger: I was in church praying with others before the exposed Eucharist in a little chapel. We prayed the rosary together aloud. After the rosary a woman spoke and said could we pray for a young mother that had a car accident that morning and her one year old baby was killed. The mother was in critical condition in the hospital.

I wanted to cry and I thought, "Oh, that mother, she might feel like dying knowing her baby died."

Mary spoke to me very clearly and said: 

Mary speaks: My dear child, a baby is indeed so dear and so pure and the loss of a baby so sad. If men only knew how I cry as your heavenly Mother for my babies, the ones murdered in the womb by their mothers.

If men only knew why I appeared to you so many times daily, that you would reach the adults with my plea to pray for the children and change their lives, and the last nine months there was my plea to reach the children with my rosary meditations and the consecration.

My dear child, it is a tragedy when a little baby loses its life and you say, oh, why God is it just?

How can you sit as children of God and not hear me as my messengers cry to you.

I appear on the building in Clearwater and their eyes do not even see me.

I cry like you wanted to for the mother of the baby who died.

I cry for the mothers and fathers that raise little babies and feed them to the world so that their souls are left to such evil influences there. 

They die, my little babies, a spiritual death.

Every day more and more youth choose the evils of the world and their parents give in to the society. Some parents try so hard to help their children stay pure, and many influences, including some of my schools, lead the children away from God.

Mary speaks:  My babies.

I am a mother, I cry for my babies dying a spiritual death for all eternity. 

Now you meditate on the happening. A woman dying in the hospital, a mother, a father of a sweet little dear baby.

My children, your babies are sweet and dear and so pure, given from the hand of the Creator and, my children, the death that many are suffering is not the death of their bodies, but the spiritual death of their souls leading, if they do not change, to the eternal fire of hell. 

You pray concerning the blindness in the physical eye, and the blindness in your hearts and souls you do not pray for. 

My Son gives to you these prayers to which He has attached special grace for the Church and the world and my beloved priest-sons.

I cry today, July 27, 2000, I cry to you to help Me. I appear in Clearwater to teach the world to pray.

Mary speaks: I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored.

Mary'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)}

Mary speaks: I am the Mother of these babies.

Help me.

Grace will be poured out on the earth when you pray as I have instructed and My Son Jesus has told you. 

Mary speaks: Oh, I cry to you now.

Mary speaks: My babies are dying at the hand of your world.

Please, my adults, pray as Jesus says.

Please help me spread my rosary and rosary meditations.

I want you to look at My image rosaries, and know how much I love you, far more than any earthly mother.

Mary speaks: My dear little ones,

Mary speaks: I am Mary, Mother of the Universe.

Help me get my rosary in the hands of all.

Help me publish and circulate my rosary meditations.

The book, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, was released from the publisher the day I appeared, December 17, l996. My book with the rainbow matches the colors of my image on the building.

Mary speaks: Please help me circulate my rosary coloring books to little children.

Messenger: These are so beautiful for little ones. They can be printed from PDF files.

Mary speaks: My children, all attempts are being made to put the rosary in the hands of as many school children as possible in October, 2000, with the Rosary Aves  (rosary meditations on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet) and the consecration cards. This is my request.

Adults need to pray for the youth.

Youth need to pray for each other and the world. 

I have requested and my Son Jesus has requested that children gather at 6:20 p.m. on Sunday for Junior Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, and that they use the Little People and Elderly meditations and Parents and Children's Rosary book. A special message for youth will be given for Sunday's prayer service.

I beg you to help me get the rosaries in the hands of all and teach them to pray.

Donations can be given to help with the School Rosary Program. You can designate this for this purpose and it will be used to buy beads and send materials to schools.

Your children must pray the rosary. Praying one decade a day in schools will help children to have peace and to love the rosary. They need to be taught to rely on the rosary. Pass out sheet that tells all how to pray.

Please pray for my Rosary Factory in Florida. Be a rosary maker and send your rosaries to me to give to schools, the missions, elderly and all who come to the Virgin Mary building.

Please pray the prayers as my Son has designated.

Mary speaks:  Please pray my rosary.

My adults, you must take the time to pray.

I appear for this purpose: to teach you to pray that great grace will be released on the world.

All should offer up their days in union with the Mass.

Mary speaks: Spread this card and the consecration card to all.

Mary speaks: I am Mary your Mother, I love you so much, please help me. 

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.

July 28, 2000 - Fourth Message

Married couples,

Special Married Couple Prayer 
Meetings are held. Ask for information.

Jesus speaks: My married couples, your prayers together, your lives given as one to the Movement, help strengthen the Movement.

You have been united in holy wedlock - your union in holy prayer as a couple praying for My Shepherds of Christ Movement and for all the intentions can enormously strengthen your marriage and the Movement.

Families that pray the prayers together will be enormously blessed.

Families need to pray together, I will give great graces for all who pray the prayers together.

Messenger: How can I help bring my family to greater unity through prayer?

Jesus speaks: This may not be possible except through your individual prayer. Do not try to force prayer on unwilling older children, especially 16 and older or unwilling husbands and wives.

Leaving a door open to communal prayer, gently requesting that they pray with you or together as a family, is different than force.

Every family is different.

Messenger:  Mary says: the family that prays together stays together.

Jesus speaks: You cannot force them. Young children may be very resistant and then you will need persistence with little ones. Make it very special to pray together. Let them read simple rosary meditations and help with the prayers.

Little children can be taken to Mass and before the Blessed Sacrament. Little children should be taught about Me and Mary. Consecration is essential. Teach them when young to pray the rosary. Pray for grace. Let your children lead the Hail Marys and other simple prayers, the Angelus etc.

In many families, the only thing some can do is to pray for the family themselves when spouses and older children 16 and over are unwilling.

All Catholic children should go to Sunday Mass if they are able.

You have a responsibility to see that children under 18 years of age under your roof  attend Mass on Sunday when able. 

Do all you can to help your family get to daily Mass.

Excerpt from June 5, 2000 daily message

Given June 4, 2000

Messenger: I overheard in church:

"My mother prayed for everyone, my mother loved everyone and prayed for them."

Jesus speaks: I call you to lay down your lives for the souls. That is what I did. I gave Myself for them.

One parent will allow children to skip Sunday Mass. When parents teach, they can teach the children wrong.

The third Commandment states that thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath day.

Holy Mother the Church has the authority by God. It is required that Catholics go to Mass on Sunday, to purposefully miss Mass on Sunday for other things is a grave sin.

When sick or for other serious reasons one may not be able to attend Mass, but the commandment in the Church states that Catholics have an obligation to attend Sunday Mass.

I ask you to read the Catechism concerning Sunday Mass.

Many this summer will skip Sunday Mass when on vacation when it would be very easy to attend the Mass.

The Church clearly states the requirements for Sunday Mass in the Catechism.

Sometimes it may be impossible, after all attempts are made to attend Sunday Mass, but the general attitude must be that Sunday Mass is required by the Church. To have the availability of Mass and to not go because of sporting events, etc., is not what the Church is teaching.

With the summer coming, you must ask yourself, "What did God mean when He said, 'Remember thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath Day?' ".

You cannot depend on other peoples' opinions to interpret the Commandments of God. You should go to a holy priest, one who sticks firmly to the Church's teachings.

Many people believe in abortion.

You must follow the official teaching of the Church.

There are circumstances in which you may be unable to attend church on Sunday. These can be considered with a holy confessor, one who sticks strictly to the teachings of the Church.

People going on vacation should be aware of the requirement of the Church and try as much as possible to attend Sunday Mass.

Many people feel they can miss Mass when on vacation on a Sunday and Saturday although Mass is readily available.

I love you, I am Jesus.
