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.

5 YEARS AGO on July 31, 1994, Jesus gave the following message to Father Carter.

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits).

Jesus speaks: In 5 years My Movement has spread all over the world helping to lead souls to the great era when My Sacred Heart will reign and the Heart of My Mother will triumph.

5 years later to appear July 31, 1999, on the Internet 12:00 a.m.

Jesus speaks: July 31, is a special feast. It is the Feast of St. Ignatius. At the end of this message I ask the message of July 31, 1994, given to the world through Father Carter be presented again.

Messenger: 5 years later the priestly newsletter is sent to about 70,000 priests in the world. It is sent directly to all bishops and priests in the U.S.A. and to about 225 bishops and cardinals in about 90 countries and, through them, to their priests. There are also prayer chapters in various countries.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Jesus speaks: I ask all to pray fervently to St. Ignatius and to all Jesuit saints and to all Popes in heaven, today and every day for My newsletter that I give through My Jesuit priest, Father Edward Carter, S.J. I ask you to pray that all Jesuits will help to circulate this newsletter and that priests live a life of consecration to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart , a consecration to which the newsletter helps lead. I wish all Jesuits to receive the second priestly newsletter book as soon as it becomes available. Also I wish all bishops in foreign countries to receive this book as soon as it becomes available. Finally I wish the bishops of this country (U.S.A.) to receive this book as soon as reasonably possible. I call the bishops to consecrate their lives to My Heart and the Heart of My Mother and to consecrate their dioceses and to encourage all priests in their dioceses to consecrate their hearts and parishes. I ask the bishops to encourage their priests to do this and to encourage the priests to encourage all people and families to consecrate themselves to Our Hearts. I encourage all families to consecrate their homes (dwellings) to Our Hearts. I wish this direction to come from the bishops. In sending the newsletter book to all bishops, I include all cardinals and the Pope.

I beg you to listen to Me and help Me. I wish all bishops to receive the prayer manual soon after the book. They are to be encouraged to pray the prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. I wish all bishops to spread these prayer manuals to the churches and ask all to pray as I have instructed in My prayer manual.

I am the Good Shepherd, My flock will be one, following My voice. You must consecrate your lives to Our two Hearts.

I ask you to remember St. Claude de Columbiere and St. Margaret Mary. I beg all Jesuits and sisters to help spread this devotion to Our two Hearts. I want the whole world consecrated to Our Hearts. A short consecration for all will be made available on a small brochure for homes and families, churches, etc.

Please pray My prayers. I request this message given on July 30, 1999, be on the Internet.

The message I gave to Father Carter five years ago will be repeated here now.

A Message for the Earth from Jesus
January 22, 1998

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.
Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q:  How do I feel writing to you and Jesus in a loving letter helps to give me a more loving attitude toward all?
