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.


Jesus speaks: I wish more of the writings of August, 1994, to appear here.


August 16, 1994

Jesus speaks: My dear child, if the whole world falls under your feet, if the stars cease to shine and the moon not give its light, I will be your rear guard, your foreguard, your mighty God Who protects you from the enemy.

Messenger: My life is interior. My relationship with God is interior. If the floor gives out, if you hate and persecute me, if anything from the outside befalls me, my life is still with me, the life of God rooted in my soul. No one can ever take away my relationship with Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, Mary and St. Joseph. No one can ever touch this - even if I cannot receive the Eucharist, Jesus is still alive within me. I can spiritually ask Him to be present in a special way to me.

The bottom line is, no one can ever touch my relationship with God and Mary, and nothing else that is taken away matters. If it is happening, He knows it and is allowing it. Jesus, I trust in You! What a treasure to always be assured of my relationship with Jesus. He never will leave me. He will always be there. His love is always with me. I want to shout it from the rooftop - this is my God and He loves me! He will never go. No one, nothing can ever stop my interior relationship with God and Mary. If I have that, what can harm me?

Jesus speaks: Though earth pass away, My love is steadfast, My presence forever within you, every minute of every day. I, God, am with you, child. I never leave you. What else matters?

Little child, little child. I love you so much. Focus on My love, ever present and poured out in such measures to you. I am Who Am. I am Jesus, Son of God. I speak to you, My little one. Open your heart and let Me embrace you. Your oneness with Me is achieved in your heart. You will stand as the strongest pillar against a raging storm, because My might is within you. If the winds come and the rain, if the earth shakes the roots of the trees, the Lord will hold you in your place. You are a mighty tree, standing on the earth. The roots which grow from within the tree are thick and well nourished. The wind can come. The winters with its cold and blizzard can press on the tree. Birds of prey can pick at the tree, but the strength of the mighty oak within will sustain it.

Your life is the life of God's grace flowing in your soul. The Spirit is a mighty force that rages in your soul. You are nourished and fed by My life. You stand strong against the wind and pestilence. You do not falter. My might is within you. If the earth quakes, you are held up by My might. I am, dear one, the Almighty God! The torrent winds cannot harm you. It may blow and blow and you will sway in the breeze but your roots are firm. You are fed My living water. I give you My very flesh for your food, you drink My very own Blood, and you, child, are sustained by the Body and Blood of Christ.

I am the Almighty God come to give life to this world. I am a force that can withstand any trial. I dwell in you and live in you and you are afraid. Oh, child, pray for vision, pray for the fearlessness of the Apostles. They were in the upper room and full of fear, and the Spirit of the Lord descended upon them and they were fearless.

Pray for the Spirit of God to enkindle in your hearts the love of God. When the earth rocks and moves about, your inner candle never flickers. You are steadfast in His love by your interior union with God and Mary. Be alone with Me, be with Me. Pray to your Father and the Holy Spirit and to Mary. You, child, are never alone, for God lives in your heart. You become one in Him and you operate with this love in a troubled world. And the winds came and blew down some that were undernourished, but he who was fed by the Bread of heaven did not fall. I am the Bread of life. My life I give to you so you will have life and have it more abundantly.

Come and sup with Me. Develop your interior life, not life as this world knows life, but My life alive and in your soul.

(End of August 16, 1994 excerpt)
