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: Mary appeared at Fatima May 13, 1917 - October 13, 1917, 6 apparitions. I called the meetings of October 13, 1996 - March 13, 1997, in which I gave important messages concerning the completion of the Fatima mission (6 rosaries with Father Carter). My Mother appeared on the building in Florida December 17, 1996, after 3 rosaries. These rosaries were messages from Me to help complete the mission begun by My Mother at Fatima. I have continued to give special information on the 13th of each month to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and Triumph of My Mother’s Heart and lead men to a deeper intimate union with Me. The Shepherds of Christ is My Movement to help bring about this most holy spousal union between men and God. |

Put Aside Distraction and Unite with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Messenger: I write as He instructs me.
How I have been distracted by the devil creating a feeling within me that divides me from someone before Mass and I stay focused on such a foolish thing and let all of the great graces I may have experienced go. If I had put Him first and not given in to the temptation to be distracted by negative feelings, I could have been more intimately united to God and could have participated in the Sacrifice to a greater degree.
Today I received the grace to not give in to the negative feeling that the devil was trying to plant in my heart that would have caused me to be focused on other things at Mass and not my beloved Savior and my great role as an intercessor uniting as intimately as possible to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in Mary’s sinless Heart, pleading for grace to be outpoured on the earth for souls, for the priests, the Church and the world and for our mission to help bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart. I cry for the children and plead for purity in their hearts and souls and the renewal of our world. I wanted to be so united to Jesus that the Father would see Jesus’ Sacrifice in the Holy Spirit and me one with Him and the pure and Immaculate Heart of Mary as intercessor. Please pray with me in the depth of your heart and soul. Pray for grace and mercy, united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in Their pure and holy Hearts.
Jesus speaks: I ask you to give yourself as a sacrifice united to Me in the Mass, praying for your priests and the renewal of the Church and the world.
OH, HOW I LOVE YOU. I AM JESUS, YOUR SAVIOR! SAVIOR of the world.
I LOVE YOU, I love you, I love you.
I AM JESUS, SAVIOR of the world. You are My instrument to help save souls.

NOTE: Jesus appeared as the King Victorious September 18, 1999.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we give our hearts to You.
From today’s Readings at Mass:
Ezra 1:1-6
I: THE RETURN FROM EXILE
AND THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE
The return of the exiles
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia -- to fulfil the word of Yahweh spoken through Jeremiah -- Yahweh roused the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to issue a proclamation and to have it publicly displayed throughout his kingdom:
Cyrus king of Persia says this, "Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build him a Temple in Jerusalem, in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to the full tally of his people, may his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem, in Judah, and build the Temple of Yahweh, God of Israel, who is the God in Jerusalem. And let each survivor, wherever he lives, be helped by the people of his locality with silver, gold, equipment and riding beasts, as well as voluntary offerings for the Temple of God which is in Jerusalem." '
Then the heads of families of Judah and of Benjamin, the priests and the Levites, in fact all whose spirit had been roused by God, prepared to go and rebuild the Temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem; and all their neighbours gave them every kind of help: silver, gold, equipment, riding beasts and valuable presents, in addition to their voluntary offerings.
Psalm 126:4-6
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.
Revelation 21:1-5
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’

Messenger: I had written many letters to Jesus. He told me on November 13, 1994, to write Him a love letter.
It follows.
November 13, 1994
My First Love Letter to Jesus.
Messenger: Dear Jesus, I love You. Not breath, not any words I know can describe my love for You. You are the life in my soul. You are my beginning and my end. Without You I would not want to live. I love You with the deepest love. Words are so flimsy to describe what I feel for You. I love You so much when I am united with You in Communion. You are my Beloved. You are so sweet. You are always there. You always love me and how little I give back to You! I experience Your presence within me sometimes and I feel so close I cannot describe it. I want greater union with You. I thirst after You. I want so desperately to be so united to You always with the deepest intensity, never to leave You. My heart knows what my pen cannot write. Oh, Your presence in my soul! I love You so and long for You to be so close to me. Your presence pervades my soul!
Jesus speaks: Continue to write love letters to Me and watch your love grow.
Song: I Thirst for Your Love
(Jesus speaks: Read this to Me especially after Communion and in front of the tabernacle)
Messenger: I need to learn how to give love to Jesus. I know He loves me. How do I love Him in return? I will do this: write letters of how I love Him, tell Him how I love Him, ask Him to give me grace to turn my cold heart to a heart on fire for love of Him.
When I love Him, I will see Him in my brothers and love them so much more. Oh, dear brothers, I don’t know how to love. Be patient with me, as Jesus teaches me His ways of love. I want to learn. Lord, turn my heart into a heart more like Yours.
Messenger: We include a message from Jesus.

First Saturday
Title: My Gift is My Heart: A Tool for Greater Intimacy with JesusJesus: My Dear Beloved Ones,
I am asking you for greater intimacy with Me in order to accomplish this task. I am asking you daily in the hour that you spend with Me, preferably before the tabernacle, or in your room, in this intimate hour, that you write to Me a love letter. For 10 minutes of the hour, I am asking you to answer the question--how do I feel in my heart about My beloved Jesus? In this love letter you will talk to Me as your most intimate friend. You will share with Me the sores you feel in your heart. You will share with Me your joy, your praise, your sorrow, your weak points, your strong points. You will focus on Me, as your Divine Healer. You will keep these letters to Me in a notebook entitled, "My Love Letters to Jesus." I then will ask you to open up the Blue Book messages which are My love letters to you. You will then read My love letters to you. You will continue talking to Me for l0 minutes about your letter to Me and My letter to you. At the same time I ask you to continue publishing all the love letters I have given to man.
This is the tool that I give to you that you will become My most intimate lover and I say to you, "To be an intimate lover, you must spend time being intimately involved. This time will become a most cherished half hour daily."
When you go to Mass and Holy Communion, always pray the Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Mass is the greatest love affair between God and man. I ask you during the Mass to continue your love affair with Me as you give yourself to Me in complete love. It is in the time after Communion, in the 20 minutes spent alone with Me, that we will share the most intimate love secrets of our hearts. We will be joined in such oneness with each other. I am calling you to circulate this letter immediately for you will soon see how urgent the situation in the world has become. The Father will not tolerate the sinfulness of men. Your day will be turned to more days of prayer because of this situation.
I am Jesus.
Messenger: We do not want to give deeply within ourselves because we may get hurt, so we remain closed because we are afraid.
Jesus: This will teach you to give yourself deeply to Me. I was wounded with the deepest wounds and I continued to love.
Messenger: He was opened up raw, jabbed in the wounds and He still loved We are wounded by so many love relationships, parents, children, relatives, friends. We carry around in our hearts a life of disappointments, we know pain. We think, if we do not open ourselves, we will not be wounded. If the flower does not open, it remains a bud, to be in full bloom, it must open.
Jesus: I will be the King and center of your heart. Before writing the letter to Me, pray the Holy Spirit Prayer and the consecration prayers.
This method of communication with Me will help heal the wounds in your heart. I am giving to you several Mass Books. Study these books so you will participate in this celebration and receive the greatest outpouring of My grace.
I give Myself to you in Communion and I am not recognized or even talked to by many souls. How this wounds My Heart. I give you Myself completely and I am treated as if My gift is nothing. How would you like to open yourself up to the deepest part of your heart, give yourself as a gift to others and be rejected? How would it feel to share yourself as you have never shared before, give yourself completely and be ignored? I give you Myself and you treat it as if it is nothing.
Messenger: The sun is covered with the clouds many times. Every day is a sunny day when our hearts are one with Him. Our days must be spend in oneness with Him. We must always be living with His light shining in our hearts. Writing an intimate letter to Jesus every day and following this procedure, will make Him our most intimate lover. We must be intimate with Him to have an intimate relationship with Him. We must give ourselves to Him.
Jesus: I am calling you to a deep, intimate relationship with Me. All of you will not be able to do all I have listed. The more you follow this plan, the deeper your relationship will become with Me.
1) Morning Offering
2) Daily Mass and Communion
3) One hour of private time with Me
4) Praying the Rosary
5) Continual consecration, praying the Holy Spirit Prayer and the Consecration Prayer from the prayer cards.My beloved shepherds, you will give Me the burning love I desire. You will lead others to this great gift of My Heart. Many will be led home to My Heart. My Heart will reign. I will be King and center of many hearts through this message and the letters I write to you in God's Blue Book. The Father is giving to you His plan through these messages in God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I am the Teacher. I am the Word. I have spoken to you in plain talk. My Heart will reign and My Mother's Heart will triumph. This is the beginning. I give to you this message on first Saturday as a great gift to My Mother.
You must circulate this message. It is My plan for greater intimacy with your most loving God.
Messenger: A message from Jesus given on November 13, 1994 - 4:15 a.m.
Jesus speaks: Will you not wait one hour with Me? My Heart thirsts for the love of souls. Come to Me with hearts of love. My Heart wants your love poured out to Me. I love you so much. I want a love relationship with you.Come to Me With Hearts of Love
Read all My letters from your heart as you read a letter from your closest friend, the one you love. Dote on every word. Oh, how I love you. I write to you here. Read every letter from Me with your whole heart. This is My love poured out to you. Do not read these letters for knowledge, read them for love. These are love letters from Me to you, My most ardent loved ones.
When you open the book, think of how I love you and long for your love. I want a relationship with you. I write to you with greatest love. Read My letters as from your loved ones. Read them from your best Friend. Read them from a Person that died for you!
