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: Jesus gave to me a message today concerning the message of September 22, 1997. We hope this will appear soon on the Internet, at least partially.
For today, we include excerpts from the following daily messages.
Here is the excerpt from January 19, 1999. All other excerpts are included at the end of the message.
Excerpt from January 19, 1999 Daily Message;
Messenger: On
September 22, 1997, He said, "Would the destruction of your temples bring you to your knees? Or should I destroy My own houses?"I suffered and suffered for three days.
At the end of the week, an earthquake tore apart the Basilica in Assisi and a picture of St. Francis and St. Clare, a famous fresco, was on many of the newspapers around the world.
(end of January 19, 1999 excerpt)Jesus speaks: You will never understand the pain I suffered during My Passion for lack of oneness.
The utter pain to My Heart for the division and willfulness of My Church, the disobedience of those in the Church.
Oh, I cry out to you from the depth of My Soul to pray as I have instructed.
DO NOT BLOCK MY MOVEMENT.
I write to you here.
Pray as I have taught you.
I am your Teacher!
To know oneness and experience the lack of oneness of men in the garden, oh, I sweat BLOOD!!
Why do you not answer your Mother's plea to consecrate your hearts?
Messenger: This was the prayer of Jesus before His bitter Passion.
John 17:20-23
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
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.
September 21, 1999 - Second Message
Messenger: The intensity that I feel in the Mass is from the sorrow He has allowed me to experience and the sufferings of her under the cross. I know Mary's Message.
Mary'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 August 27, 1996 message.)
Messenger: Are there not those who would be so identified with Him in His suffering that they would unite in such agonizing union with Christ so selflessly giving Himself pleading to the Father for grace and mercy for His precious souls?
The lack of oneness in the Mass makes my heart feel as if swords are in it. In great experiences in the Mass I have experienced such oneness that to not be able to have it is like a lance in my heart.
I want to plead to the Father with all my insides, seeing Jesus' suffering face when He appeared on the cross at the point of death, and as I recall the experiences of August 2, 1999 and August 4, 1999, and as I realize His selfless giving of Himself and His love for all. I put here from those messages.
Excerpt from August 4, 1999 Daily Message
Messenger: I must stop here and define sacrifice. A sacrifice is a consecrated offering. The Mass is a Sacrifice. One of its purposes is to make atonement to our God for man's sins. We are coming to the altar of sacrifice as sinners, connected to one another as creatures of God, going to God and begging mercy and forgiveness for our sins. We are sorry we have sinned and we recognize our dependence on Him and His grace.
Today I was given great grace in the Mass, including the ability to dwell in Him in great depths. He takes over my being as I exist in Him. It is He Who chiefly pleads in the Sacrifice to the Father. It is His emotions I experience. Today I heard Him shout "Grace My shepherds, grace." And I felt as if the flood gates of heaven opened on the earth as I existed in Him.
I was with Him on the cross and my heart was consumed with love, the pain and anguish of the body I no longer felt, for the love for the souls He loves consumed my heart. I felt His love in me and all He wanted was for them to be saved. I wanted them to be loving and as the Father wished from the beginning. The love I felt for each precious soul was so immense, for His desire was that not one be lost, not one, but that every soul be saved . I kept hearing the song One Bread, One Body, as it played within me as my soul joined in. The emotion was so strong for oneness that it made me cry harder, wanting it so very much. It was as if a chorus sang the song, but it came from the depth of my heart as I was one in Him and existed in Him.
It is hard to account this, for things happen, so many things happen all at once in the Mass around the Consecration and thereafter.
A chorus sings as He hangs on the cross. It was as if my soul left my body, for all I knew was love, the love for souls, the fire of burning divine love within my being wanting only creatures existing in Him for all eternity.
In the moment when the love flooding my soul reached such a climax, I saw a black, reddish place.
I knew the intensity to a small degree of the offering of Himself completely to the Father. I knew the pleading He did with His whole being in satisfaction for the sins of men.
I knew more the purity of a God-made Man giving Himself as a Sacrifice and the power of it for all of the vile sins of all men for all time.
I knew Him in His love, He was consumed for souls. I knew the complete offering of Himself, the begging for souls to be saved. His whole being was consumed with wanting souls saved. From deep within He offered Himself because of the greatness of His love.
Love is a consuming force.
God is love.
I was with Him on the cross, experiencing to a small extent the desires of His Heart for His beloved creatures. I was participating in the Mass in which the Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present for us today. I realized as I participated in the Mass in Him that He in this oneness in my soul was pleading for His beloved souls in Me.
I begged for mercy, mercy for all generations, for all my ancestors and I could hear Him in the words of the Mass, He being so one in the priest, offering this Sacrifice to the Father for His beloved souls.
Oh mercy, we plead for mercy from our God. I heard the words of Jesus in the priest and I heard the words, "through Him, with Him and in Him".
We offer sacrifice, consumed in the deepest love in the holy all-pure Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
We empty ourselves, for this is what He did.
He, God, emptied Himself completely and gave Himself for love of His precious souls so that they would be saved.
We offer ourselves, I emptied myself. I want this most complete Consecration to Them so that I can partake to the greatest possible degree in purity in this Sacrifice and plead as He did for His precious souls. I am pleading in Him for our earth, for all priests, for all souls, as I exist in a place of deepest love for Them, pleading for forgiveness, wanting to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the offering of sacrifices that could have been more pure and holy and for ignoring Them entirely many times.
I plead as I exist in the New Adam, as I am united to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and the New Eve.
I know a little more of this greatest Sacrifice. God gave His Son as our Savior. He came through a human person, pure and spotless, Mary the Immaculate Virgin.
Help me to spread this knowledge of this most powerful gift, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in which the Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present so that we will all partake more fully in this great act of offering Sacrifice. Pray that great grace and mercy will be outpoured on the earth. Unite all your activities to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the Church and the world and the intentions of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, His Movement, by saying the Morning Offering.
(end of August 4, 1999 excerpt)
Messenger: Oh, my heart is bleeding inside from the desire to be united as a member of the body of Christ to a most holy priest who is so identified with Christ offering the Sacrifice.
Oh, my beloved priests, see the souls that are affected.
Christ showed me the souls going into hell on August 24, 1999. It was horrifying. He knew everything, all that would be lost. In that selfless giving of Himself, He was consumed with love despite His terrible suffering. See Christ, offer sacrifice from the depth of your being for souls. Oh, I saw the Lady as she appeared and the pain is so great within me.
Oh, I want to be united in a body with people all over the world and be as the Father wishes and plead and beg and ask God for grace and mercy.
Oh, please hear me.
Hear Mary -- see Him -- see Him at the point of death, be one in the sacrifice pleading to the Father, as He looks down and sees His Son Jesus. We can do so much through our powerful intercession in Their Hearts, and Satan creates so many distractions to make our lives so busy.
Mary speaks: My world, you must pray, the time is nigh!!
Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.Message of January 5, 1997
Jesus speaks:
Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.
A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wondering--you lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.
Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothing--I clothe you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.
(End of excerpt from January 5, 1997 message.)(end of excerpt from January 24, 1999)Messenger: Be no longer stiff-necked.
We have been taught from ages past how to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We are partially blind in our ways, for our teachers were blind in their ways.
Let us hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. Let us pray that our eyes are opened so that we will see. I think it is very significant that the Good Shepherd chapter of John follows the chapter telling about the blind man.
He will shepherd His flock through His beloved priests.
Mary is the Mother of the Church. She has authority over her priest-sons.
The Incarnation goes on in her spiritual womb, her Immaculate Heart. We are formed more and more in His image and likeness.
The Prayer for Union with Jesus is most important—
Excerpt from December 24, 1998 Daily Message
From the April 25, 1996 Rosary, The Third Decade - The Descent of the Holy Spirit:
10. Jesus speaks: You help in the act of redemption. All of your actions should be offered as a sacrifice united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit.9. Jesus speaks: My stiff-necked people, they harden their hearts and they walk away. They have made idols their gods and I wait and long for their love. Will you be My apostles to tell this world of My burning love, that many will be saved through your prayers and through all your efforts to spread this love to the world?
Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:
Q: How do I feel when you do not verbally communicate your love to me, but expect me to know it?
