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: I have not thanked our God for the gifts He has given me daily, always looking for more and to make things better, seeing the glass half empty.
And the lesson He gives today comes from Blue Book III.
The wind swept across my face and the sky was blue, the children screamed in the background with joyous notes and it was all there, but I didn't even stop to thank Him when He gave so much to me.
He gave me the babies I bore and the ones who loved me and I heard the voice of the world prompting me to demand more perfection, to look for the perfect way here below and He silently whispered in my ear, "It is only the bus on the journey, not the end in itself. The mountain top waits at the end and you have the beatific vision of your God if you loved and served Him."
Jesus speaks: Here below I give you so many gifts on your way.
The greatest I give is Myself in the Eucharist.
I call you as a body to promote Eucharistic adoration, devotion to Me in the Blessed Sacrament and mostly, I call you to spread the greatest devotion to the Mass and to reach the priests through your prayers and majorly the priestly newsletter and the Mass Books.
Message from Jesus for founder
Given December 27, 1994 - After CommunionJesus speaks: My beloved priest-son, I have chosen you to spread My light and My love to this world. It is through this newsletter to My beloved priests I will give My love to so many hurting souls.
I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I thank you for responding to My call to write and publish this newsletter. I thank all who are involved in this Movement. My blessings are forever given to all who promote this endeavor, Shepherds of Christ. I am Chief Shepherd of the Flock and I give you My greatest love. Your prayers for the priests will turn many hearts to the love of My most Sacred Heart through My Mother's Heart.
This Christmas season I turn to you and thank you for responding to this call. I ask you to continue with greater fervor to support this Movement as it extends to every corner of this earth. My flock will return to the love of My most Sacred Heart through your prayers and support. Pray fervently every day for all priests of this world. Pray fervently for the success of this Movement. Pray for all priests who read this letter to receive and cooperate with the grace I am giving to them through your prayers. Pray to the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of the priests reading My newsletter. Your prayers will help light up the dark world when My love grows ever brighter in the hearts of the priests.
I ask you to make this commitment to pray every day in your Morning Offering for the priests and the Movement, Shepherds of Christ. Pray at Mass for priests to be drawn ever closer to My Sacred Heart. Pray that they cooperate with grace I am giving them.
I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock. I thank you for your prayers and give you great graces to lead you, My beloved ones, every closer to My most Sacred Heart. Come and dwell in My Heart. I love you so much.
Is Your Glass Half-Full or Half-Empty?
April 18, 1994
Messenger: How is your day? Is your glass half-full or half-empty? This is the gauge to how you are feeling inside. Are you seeing all the blessings He is pouring out to you-your health, your food, your loved ones, all the blessings that you have each day? Or are you coming from a place of never having enough? Do you feel irritable and feel that nothing is right, that everything is wrong?
Is the glass half-full or is it half-empty? Do you look for things that are right in your world or do you look for things that are wrong? Do you know that God gives to you exactly what you need and that it is in your acceptance of these things that you grow in your relationship with Him?
Is the glass half-full or half-empty? Do I look at the world and see the love of God in my brothers? Do I look at the world and see the world as not giving to me?
God has all you need. God provides us with our needs. The world is hurting. The world is not that by which we are filled. The world cries from its own pain. How can the world fill us?
We crave the love of God. Our souls can only be satisfied by the love of God. When we see the world as a place that needs God's love, we come to the world with a full glass.
How is your glass today? Is it half-full or half-empty? If you go to our beloved Jesus, He fills you with His love. His love is emitted from your very being. When you spend time with Him and remain fixed in Him, there is peace in His love.
The biggest contribution you can give to yourself and this world is to busy yourself with your relationship with Jesus. Be an empty vessel (glass) ready to be filled by His love.
Messenger: An excerpt from the message September 28, 1999 — The first message, Blue Book I, written in the hand of a child, May 13, 1993.
Excerpt from September 28, 1999 daily message
Jesus speaks: A century of Marian Apparitions. When My messenger left Conyers, Georgia, I gave her the following message. As she drove away she dictated it to her 14 year old daughter. Here is the first message in the writing of that child. The story will follow later.
Cling to Me
May 13, 1993
Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.
Jesus speaks: Notice the difference between Mary's messages at Medjugorje and Fatima and the first message I wished recorded in My Blue Book.
Notice the difference between Mary's messages given at Fatima and the promise given to Father Carter, July 31, 1994.
It was a message to lead you into a deeper life in Me. IN ME. DWELLING IN ME.
Leading you to the words of St Paul:
...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me... (Galatians 2:19-20)
Jesus speaks: In My Movement, Shepherds of Christ, I want you to be one in Me as St. John talks about:
John 17:21-23
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
Jesus speaks: The more that you pray My prayers, the deeper you will go into Our Hearts.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM AND IN HIM
Excerpt from April 28, 2000 daily message
So good is our God to give us this visible sign. My heart hungers and thirsts for Him in this great gift given.Messenger:
Today at the consecration of the Mass the priest consecrated the Host in a silver dish. My heart longs to see the beautiful white consecrated Host so much I could hardly stand it, I desired it so much. He lifted the dish and took out the beautiful consecrated Host and a see-through Host the same size appeared above the Host. I often see a small transparent halo surrounding the top of the Host. This appeared as such:
Picture of transparent host coming soon!
Messenger: I had such a burning in my heart to see the consecrated Host and I heard the words "are not our hearts burning within us."
My heart ached with joy and wanting to be in this ecstatic state forever, but I was so aware of souls and the Sacrifice being offered, longing to be so one with Jesus as I dwell in Mary’s pure Heart, so that my heart would be so deeply united to Jesus’ in this Holy Sacrifice to the Father.
I want so much in that moment of consecration. I want my sacrifice united to His so deeply so that grace will be outpoured for our needs. I beg and I cry for the souls in the world, all of us who so desperately need God’s grace and mercy.
Oh, I want to offer such a Holy Sacrifice from the depth of my soul for grace and help from God. Oh, God, I am so sorry for our sins. Oh God, oh God, help us, I plead and I beg and I cry, I want it so much. I want all souls to love Him as I love Him and to unite in this Sacrifice as holy little children of the Father, pleading to God for help.
Jesus speaks: I want this excerpt in the front of the Mass Book II.
I want this book published quickly.
I want the Imprimatur, you must all continue to pray for this.

Messenger: Pray for Perry.
(Please copy and pass out to family and friends.)
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.
