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.


6:00 a.m. Mary appeared the Lady of Victory

Mary speaks: If you listen to me and obey me and the messages of my Son, Jesus, you will have a great victory.

Pray that the Blood of Jesus be spread on the earth.

My children, consecrate your Church and your world to Our Hearts.

Pray the 6:20 prayers.

SONG: Night is Over

Messenger: And they heard the cries of the Sorrowful Lady and their lives changed, for they knew God spoke to them.

Oh, it was so simple to follow the Lady of Fatima's pleas and to listen to the Divine God, but the obstinance that the evil one created blocked the minds to see.

Mary speaks: Oh, my children, please listen to me.


Exodus 7:8-13

Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, 'If Pharaoh says to you, "Display some marvel," you must say to Aaron, "Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and let it turn into a serpent!"' Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did as Yahweh had ordered. Aaron threw down his staff in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it turned into a serpent. Then Pharaoh in his turn called for the sages and sorcerers, and by their spells the magicians of Egypt did the same. Each threw his staff down and these turned into serpents. But Aaron's staff swallowed up theirs. Pharaoh, however, remained obstinate and, as Yahweh had foretold, refused to listen to Moses and Aaron.


Messenger: Unite with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass going on around the world at every second.

Far worse is the mother that watches the children die a spiritual death.


2 Maccabees 7:1

It also happened that seven brothers were arrested with their mother. The king tried to force them to taste some pork, which the Law forbids, by torturing them with whips and scourges.


2 Maccabees 7:20-23

But the mother was especially admirable and worthy of honourable remembrance, for she watched the death of seven sons in the course of a single day, and bravely endured it because of her hopes in the Lord. Indeed she encouraged each of them in their ancestral tongue; filled with noble conviction, she reinforced her womanly argument with manly courage, saying to them, 'I do not know how you appeared in my womb; it was not I who endowed you with breath and life, I had not the shaping of your every part. And hence, the Creator of the world, who made everyone and ordained the origin of all things, will in his mercy give you back breath and life, since for the sake of his laws you have no concern for yourselves.'


2 Maccabees 7:27-29

Bending over him, she fooled the cruel tyrant with these words, uttered in their ancestral tongue, 'My son, have pity on me; I carried you nine months in my womb and suckled you three years, fed you and reared you to the age you are now, and provided for you. I implore you, my child, look at the earth and sky and everything in them, and consider how God made them out of what did not exist, and that human beings come into being in the same way. Do not fear this executioner, but prove yourself worthy of your brothers and accept death, so that I may receive you back with them in the day of mercy.'


Psalm 126

Song of the returning exiles

When Yahweh brought back Zion's captives
   we lived in a dream;
then our mouths filled with laughter,
   and our lips with song.

Then the nations kept saying, 'What great deeds
   Yahweh has done for them!'
Yes, Yahweh did great deeds for us,
   and we were overjoyed.

Bring back, Yahweh, our people from captivity
   like torrents in the Negeb!
Those who sow in tears
   sing as they reap.

He went off, went off weeping,
   carrying the seed.
He comes back, comes back singing,
   bringing in his sheaves.


Mary speaks: Beginning September 20, 1999, is the last 9 day period of the end of the second 108 day novena.

Pray fervently to St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael and all angels for special protection and to fight the evil one for you, in your families, in the Shepherds of Christ, and Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and world.

Also pray fervently to St. Therese of the Child Jesus and your Guardian Angels.
