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 want you to live by the Blue Book messages. Please write a love note to Me and read the Blue Books. Use the Blue Book when you are taunted.

Messenger: Freedom is found in loving, in going out of self to the other.

In our most intimate relationships we may suffer the most.

It is in those intimate relationships we can grow, if we are willing to look at ourselves and realize we are not perfect and realize the other person is not perfect, nor is he or she exactly like us.

Love is expressed in proper interaction between us and others.

If we close ourselves off from these persons because we do not get along, and close ourselves off from others because we do not get along, soon who is left to try to relate with?

Our happiness lies in having ALL relationships according to the Father's will.

Happiness is enhanced by looking inside ourselves and facing up to our imperfections so we can change for the better when we have to.

We are not responsible for others' bad moods.

Satan tries to create suspicion and doubt in our minds. Satan wants us self-conscious.

Did you ever stand somewhere feeling okay inside and have someone come up and give you a critical remark that makes you focus on yourself?

Satan wants us focused on self.

Satan wants us thinking everyone is divided with us. Satan tries to talk in our minds telling us we have not done enough. Satan attempts to tear us down interiorly with our own negative thoughts; externally with what remarks others may make.

Our focus is always God. Our focus is on His mission for us. If our focus is on what others think of us, Satan can always get us off course. All Satan has to do is have something happen that causes us to feel insecure or presses a button of insecurity, and we are self-focused instead of other focused.

Jesus' love is pure love, other focused.
Mary's love is pure love.
We cannot give in to Satan and his tricks. This distracts us from our mission.


July 25, 1994 - My Beating Heart

Messenger: I went to the altar at the Center. My heart felt like it would beat out of my chest and I knew that this was of God. Jesus said: "My dear daughter, My Heart beats as one with yours." Then He told me to sing Like a Shepherd three times, and the picture was lighting up.
(The picture of the Sacred Heart was illuminated.)

Jesus speaks: My dear child,
Do you realize how much you must ponder My love for you? My Passion is the key for you to understand this love. Pray for the gift to realize this love. I would die for you this very day. For you, My sweet one. Think, "Jesus and Mary love me this much." This will increase your closeness to Me. It is in this personal love I pour out to you that we will be ever closer. My Heart is ever beating for you in such oneness.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am your Jesus. I love you with this love. Meditate on My Passion and see how I loved you.

I am your most loving Jesus, tenderest of all hearts and I am in your midst this very day.


Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel when I do something really special for you and you do not notice?
