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: Please pray for all Shepherds of Christ intentions.

There is a meeting in China, Indiana, August 12 - August 14, 2000, a mini retreat. A special rosary is given at 12:00 noon China time August 13. A big body of people gather to pray from 12:00 - 5:00 August 13.


July 29, 2000 - Second Message

Message from Mary for JUNIOR Shepherds of Christ Chapters


Mary speaks: My dear little children,

I call you little for you are little to me. You are so precious to Jesus in your young age. I address all youth including young adults in their twenties.

I am your Mother and I want you to pray so for the other youth. Oh, my beautiful Son, Jesus, loves you so much and His Heart bleeds for what is being done to the younger generation in the world. You must pray for the adults and for your leaders. They must see what is truth and that they need to turn back to God. Oh, why do many adults and old people not pray? I cry to you.

Why do I appear here? I appear here, my youth, that you will see me and know how much God loves you. So you will know how close God is to you. I want my young adults to read my Daily Message Book I and circulate it to other young adults. Show my picture (image picture) to other youth. Tell them I am calling them to pray the prayers my Son gives for the priests and the Church and the world. I cry to you to help me, my little precious children. You are young and full of energy. You can be a soldier for Mary and a Shepherd of Christ.

The priesthood is the greatest honor given to a young man. So many young people do not even know what an honor it is to give one's life to Jesus. I want you to sing the song "A Priest is a Gift from God."

Some of my handmaids and servants are young, beautiful people like you that have given their lives to try to reach you that you will pray. It is a joy to be a spouse of Jesus. He is the greatest spouse. These handmaids and servants pray for you daily. Most pray a rosary every day for the youth especially.

Oh my little ones, how Jesus loves you.

He loves you so much.

Please pray my rosary and spread rosaries to schools and spread meditations and consecration cards to your friends.

Tell your priest at church how you want to have a prayer meeting there on Sunday at 6:20 before the Blessed Sacrament praying for priests, the Church and the world. Show your priest the Prayer Manual and Holy Spirit Novena, the Rosary Aves, the consecration cards and the Parents and Children Rosary Book. All Imprimatur material. Tell your principals and teachers you want to pray the rosary with the Aves and meditations. Ask if you can pray a decade a day. Tell them it will bring great peace to the school and the classroom, that Mary asked at Fatima that you pray the rosary and consecrate your hearts, and that she said the peace of the world depends on this.

GLORIOUS MYSTERIES FOR CHILDREN

The Assumption of Our Lady

  4. Mary speaks: Little children's prayers are so powerful! I am Mary, your Mother. I am asking you to man the forces and have my little army of children ready and marching on this world with their pure little hearts and talking about the love of God. Children love to sing and they will love to pray when they know about the lives of my Son Jesus and myself, when you teach them about the Mass and the great gifts they are given. Give to children the first Blue Book and let them hear the personal love letters my Son is delivering to them.
  5. Jesus speaks: You are missing a big source of your power by not contacting the children. When children pray, there is power. Children joined in numbers are a vital force for spreading this movement across the United States. Your land is a land that is very sick. It is in curing the children of their illnesses that your land will prosper.

Mary speaks: My children, please help me, you can help me reach the world with the prayers my Son gives and the rosary.

Oh my children, I love you,

I am Mary your Mother - thank you for helping me and praying for the peace of the world.

Messenger: Mary Queen of the Universe pray for us 

Jesus speaks: I desire the Morning Offering card for all and the children's Morning Offering card be placed on the internet today. And that these cards be passed out on Sunday Junior Shepherds of Christ meetings.


From Lectionary, First Reading from Common of Saints


Sirach 3: 17-24

My child, be gentle in carrying out your business,
   and you will be better loved than a lavish giver.
The greater you are, the more humbly you should behave,
   and then you will find favour with the Lord;
for great though the power of the Lord is,
   he accepts the homage of the humble.
Do not try to understand things that are too difficult for you,
   or try to discover what is beyond your powers.
Concentrate on what has been assigned you,
  you have no need to worry over mysteries.
Do not meddle with matters that are beyond you;
   what you have been taught already exceeds the scope of the human mind.
For many have been misled by their own notions,
   wicked presumption having warped their judgement.


Messenger: WE DO NOT LIVE IN A VACUUM, ALL OF OUR LIVES AFFECT OTHERS' LIVES. ALL MUST PRAY TO KNOW AND DO GOD'S WILL, LIVING TO SERVE GOD.

Your Bridegroom Waits for You (excerpt)

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 11, 1994 4:00 a.m.

Jesus speaks: My Heart is on fire with love of you. I give this to you in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle. I am there, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Come and get your arms, get your supplies. You are going into battle in this world. You are battling evil and hate. You need your ammunition and it is found in Me. Come and I will give you your arms--My love.

Oh, how I love you. I ache in My heart for your love. You do not know how I ache to behold each of you. Please come. It is in the greatest love that I am locked up in the tabernacle. Come, please, I beg you. I love you. I want you to come. I am Jesus, Son of God and I am waiting for you this very day.

Come to Me and I will give you all you need. I love you. Jesus.

Do you know that I have all the power? Look at the earth, covered with ice. Do you control such things? Stopped dead in your tracks, are you? Do you still think you have control in your immobility?

What does it take to shake you in your comfort zone? Who will get the message to you? I am Jesus. I am God. God has all the power. Do you pray now in your idleness with this weather or do you busy your mind with more senseless tasks?

Oh, what do you need to turn you from your ways? I come and dwell in your midst and you ignore Me and look for other things to fill the weary soul.

Man, nothing fills your soul. I and I alone am what you seek. You look in all the wrong places and I wait for you in the tabernacle. If you knew of this unseen world! But you are blind and dumb and stay centered as if in a tunnel.

Pray for your sick brothers. They have been blinded by the world and numbed by the TV. Their hearts are cold and their heads are hot. Oh, what a sad state! Pray for them lest they lose their souls. This world is full of evil. Come to Me. Sit in silence and know My love. I am your refuge.

In My church, in front of My tabernacle, there is such peace and joy. I am your King. I am your God. I am your Lord. I am Who am. I am your all. Little ones, little ones, I lament the loss of your love. Come to Me and be wrapped in My arms. I love you. Alleluia

Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, what God has ready for those who Love Him.

Messenger: ST. IGNATIUS FEAST IS JULY 31, 2000.


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.

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.
