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.


Messenger: FIAT - Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Messenger: THE NEW ADAM.

THE NEW EVE.


John 19: 25-27

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.


Messenger: She stood by the tree of life. THY WILL BE DONE!!

That is the key to the Reign of the Sacred Heart: every man living according to God's will.

Mary is the only human person conceived without sin. She lived most perfectly in the Father's will.

Messenger: FIAT.

Thy will be done, when He was in the garden, His message was, "Thy will, not mine."

Messenger: When he hung on the cross to His death - the message was, "Thy will be done."

Messenger: What are the words that Jesus gave us to pray?


Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.


Messenger: Father, Thy Kingdom will come when the will of God is done on earth as it is in heaven.

WE WANT TO BE A BODY OF PEOPLE THAT WILL OPERATE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL IN ONE MIND, IN ONE HEART, breathing together, with the breath of the Holy Spirit permeating us so that we are of one mind, of one heart.

After the descent of the Holy Spirit they were of one mind and one heart.

Messenger: Every night at 6:20 we pray for this.

Mary is above us.

Messenger: We are gathered around underneath that window, and all over the world, praying as a body for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit.


Excerpt from priestly newsletter, Issue 4, 2000

Devotion to the Holy Spirit

Archbishop Luis M. Martinez instructs us: "Consecration to the Holy Spirit must be total: nothing must draw us away from His loving possession. Undoubtedly vacillations and deficiencies are part of our imperfection, but even so, our love must not be extinguished. Rather, it must lift its divine flame toward infinite love in the midst of all human vicissitudes.

"True devotion to the Holy Spirit, therefore, is not something superficial and intermittent, but something profound and constant, like Christian life itself; it is the love of the soul that corresponds to the love of God, the gift of the creature who tries to be grateful for the divine Gift, the human cooperation that receives the loving and efficacious action of God. As divine love is eternal, its gift without repentance and its action constant, it is our part to have our heart always open to love, ready to receive the unspeakable gift, and to keep all our powers docile to the divine movement."

- Archbishop Luis M. Martinez, The Sanctifier, Pauline Books & Media, p. 48

(End of Excerpt from priestly newsletter, Issue 4, 2000)


Messenger: So our life is lived surrendering more to the Father's will, living in the Father's will. In dwelling in Jesus' Heart we are more attuned to the will of God.

Mary says, "Thy will be done."

Jesus says, "Thy will be done, Father."

The New Adam, the New Eve, as we who are so imperfect dwell in their pure and holy Hearts we become one in mind and heart.

The Holy Spirit breathes into our souls guiding us, helping us conform to the will of God.

The Holy Spirit breathes in the members of the body of Christ, the Church, as they dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary so they will be of one mind and one heart living in the Father's will.

But as we as a body desire to grow in greater perfection, realizing the Persons of the Holy Trinity form the most perfect community operating in perfect oneness, we imperfect creatures must dwell in Their Hearts.

The tainted children of Adam and Eve are more perfected in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

We breathe in Him, our beloved God.

We abandon ourselves to God's will.

It is that song of surrender that will lead us into oneness.


Words of Surrender given from Jesus

Today Lord, (today's date), I give You my entire will-

I give You all my liberties, I want to love and serve You as You desire.

I surrender myself to You.

I ask You to run my life.

I ask You to help me act like You, Jesus, and like Your Mother Mary.

God, this day I consecrate myself to You.

I am  (name) , Your beloved child, guide me on my way now as I go about my day (or if in Church) as I leave Your Eucharistic presence.

Prayer for Union with Jesus
January 17, 1994

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

The following Imprimatur applies only to A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and not the message above or below.

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995


 Messenger: The Mass - the perfect Sacrifice offered. We die to ourselves that we will live more and more in Him.

Through Him, With Him, In Him

Messenger: WE SURRENDER TO HIM, WE DIE TO OURSELVES MORE AND MORE.

Messenger: We unite to the Sacrifice of the Mass at every moment and give ourselves to Him.

THE KEY TO THE REIGN OF THE SACRED HEART IS IN LETTING GOD TAKE US COMPLETELY!

- GIVING OURSELVES TO HIM SO WE CAN ALL LIVE IN HIS WILL.

In the Reign of the Sacred Heart all will surrender themselves to Him.

If we are to unite more and more as a body, one in which we are of one voice and one heart, we must abandon ourselves completely to Him.

All will be doing God's will and all will live in peace and harmony.

Total abandonment to God's will. All are unique persons, all contribute as He desires, but all are in harmony because they live according to God's will.

There aren't 50 ways to do things, there is but one way, one truth and one life, it is His way for us.

The Church documents are given to us that we will know the truth.

The Commandments are given that we will live in truth.

The Word is His Word and His Truth.

The devil has attacked all of these. The devil tried to get Eve to do her own will.

Mary, the New Eve, taught the Apostles through her example.

Her Heart will triumph - the devil's head will be crushed -

The Woman Clothed with the Sun will be the Queen in all the hearts of her children and the Sacred Heart will be the King of their hearts -

Messenger: He will reign in all hearts.

They will walk in His name and not their own.

All will be under His feet -

All will recognize God as the One with all the power.

All will worship and love God.

The key is surrendering ourselves to the will of God and then people will just do what He wants. Our hearts must be aligned to His will. We must live in His will.

Messenger: When we die, we will have to surrender.

He takes us then, we have to give in, we die in our bodies -

Why do we fight Him with our wills?

Jesus' message today was:

Pray the Our Father.
Prayer for Union with Jesus.
Words of Surrender.
Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Morning Offering.
Give your lives to God - surrender to His will for you.

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.

(End of Mary's Message)
