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.

Message from October 8, 1997
Jesus speaks: Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine. I come to be heard and who pays Me heed. To a people of stiffs I address this issue, what think you when the water is gone from the trough?
Do you think you will then worship the molten calf or will you be ready for surrender then?
Oh, you thankless race, anger and wrath is the mind of your God. You do not worry, My messenger, for I am God and I speak to you. You think you are alone and I have chosen you. Your money is your god, oh people of Zion - your money in the pockets is the sound that brings you joy.
What brings Me joy is the songs of the faithful, praising and worshipping God, but I go to the tent and there is the molten calf and an abased nation of stiffs, heartless and filled with fear. I beg of you to stop now before it is too late, but you do not know of the chastisement I have in store for you - it is under the plan of the Father.
The children who walk in darkness carried a molten calf in their arms and the God of justice struck the earth.
He struck you, senseless people, because you would not listen.
I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.
My Words are your truth, yet you try to wash them away as hearsay and of no importance.
My Word is the Word of God mighty and true. I have been ignored and defiled in My Word. I smite you, My senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless children of Eve.
Debased, proud and dead, really dead in your hearts.
I give you sunshine and rain and you want flowers and glory.
The glory is Mine or I will have to continue to listen to the wailing widow, a barren branch, a company of stiffs.
Ignore Me no longer senseless ones. My hand is upon you. It will come down and wipe out the senseless virgins, the ones singing to the molten calf.
Rachel could hear the slaughter of her children and she wept such bitter tears. The Lady Clothed as the Sun bore the barren race; they did not come to her grace-filled womb.
The thankless race marched into a pit of doom and destruction.
As I was pressed in the garden watching the days at hand, as I was squeezed, what came forth from My pores was the saving Blood for the children of Zion and when they ate from the land they feasted on rich food and strong drinks, the candy of the earth and it made them sick - sick to the death of their souls and the Lady Clothed as the Sun heard the cries of her sick children. I give you the medicine for the sick children in these writings and they chase you and make you fall to the ground. I watched you skin your knees when you carried the scrolls that contained My letters of love, My words from the depths of My Heart. You fell as I once did on the way to Calvary. I fell, I skinned My knees, My Body burned and I got up and went to the end.
The end was the beginning for the children of Zion for at that hill My cross was planted erect, a tree of life, and the juice that was squeezed 'till there was no more from the one "Son of Man, the Son of God", was the juice of the Man. It was His saving Blood.
They pressed Me in the Garden of Olives and I bled for the thankless race. They hung Me on a tree on the hill of Calvary. When I gave them the New Eve they chose the molten calf. They spit on My Mother, they ignored the visitations. She came and gave to the children to remind them of their covenant with God.
Oh senseless ones, so many will now fall, for I hung there and to the right was one and to the left another. The one was saved; the other was cursed. You picked from the tree when you should have obeyed your Father. He gave you His will. He said, "You may eat of all the trees in the garden but not this one." and you continually ate of the forbidden fruit. I warned you, My children, and you chased My messengers and made them run. I gave to you My Book of Life, My Bible, and you ate the sick fruit and it made you so sick you wanted to die but you kept eating when I told you the end was near and now that the end has come, what do you say for yourself? You ignored the Lady Clothed as the Sun. She appeared in all glory and splendor and so many months later so few go to her site to even see her. So is it My fault or yours our money does not come to publish your books and tell the world about the Woman in Florida? It is not My fault, I am God. I am the faultless One.
You want joy. I have no joy for the likes of you, My children of Zion, you have usurped My thrones and treated My body as rubbish. I am God. I come in the Eucharist and I am ignored. I speak no longer. The days that follow will be the days to cleanse this earth.
I am angered beyond all anger for the way My Mother has been treated in Florida by the thankless race. They have worshipped the molten calf and ignored the Lady of Light, the Lady Clothed as the Sun, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing forth her children. The good will suffer with the bad; the wheat will be separated from the darnel (weeds). You walked like little stiff men with your haughty hearts. Your heads were your gods. I gave you great minds to comprehend My mysteries and you used your minds to worship false gods and make movies that defile My priesthood. What of your minds? I do not even have energy to tell you how unworthy you used the mind, the intellect I gave you. You used this great faculty to commit the worst sins, and My head was crowned with the sharpest thorns for your sick earth. Oh, you squeezed the Blood from the Son of Man. You pressed that Man in the garden, when He knew this race of this day.
I now see the Woman on the building, My Mother, so loving to the children I gave her and the mean ones threw acid on her face. Oh, you race of vile hearts and thankless ways. I will clothe the holy ones in the white robes of glory. The thankless ones I will turn over to the red men that will hand them over to the keeper of the pit and their bodies will be burned in the burning sulfur of the pool of death. Come, My children of light, your Mother called you through the consecration. She showed you the way home to My Heart. She carried a lighted lamp and lighted your way in the darkness. You were not foolish like the virgins that carried a lamp without a light. Your light for the lamp was My life alive in your hearts. When the darkest night comes you will know the flames of My love alive in your lighted hearts, burning with the fire from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give you the fuel, My faithful virgins. I gave you the fuel to light your lamps that in the dark night that lies ahead, you will still shine as a beacon light, a light of intense brightness no matter how dark the night. You will not die for your refuge is the fire of the Sacred Heart and you gave your heart to the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate One and she took you to the Heart of your Savior. She took you home and you dwelt within the chamber of My Heart and you were protected from the evil one in these last days. You tried to spread this consecration. It is the key that leads to the place of refuge. So many camps the devil told men to prepare and they labored in vain, for the Word was had in dwelling in Our Hearts. You would find refuge and they missed the message and busied themselves with the work of the evil one.
I say to you what refuge survived when Noah built his ark? Only those on the ark survived the great flood. You prepare your earth. When My Word was to prepare your hearts. Then again, they worshipped the church building, the grounds and the wood and their hearts were left as cold vaults. I beg you, My beauteous ones, to beg the men to prepare their hearts before it is too late. Only the Ark of the Covenant will be the means of survival in this dark age. When the moon turns to blood they will run away frightened and their buildings will be like cold vaults - only the hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will survive.
You were willful and too busy to know the story. The story is this: There is but one home; it is the Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Mother is the gatekeeper. It is through her Immaculate Heart you enter. She is the singular vessel, a New Eve, a Woman Clothed as the Sun, a doorway to the everlasting abyss of Light, the Light of the World, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of the Son of Man.
There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - they will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death.
THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, AND IN HIM
Mass Book II Entry
Excerpt from July 2, 2000, Daily Message
Messenger: A letter written on the feast of the Immaculate Heart.
The depth to which I experience oneness and my desire for this deep oneness as God intends with all souls leaves me in a state of enormous hunger always.
My desire to help souls is so deep and so intens. My whole relationship with God, the knowledge of His vision He has given to me is intense and deep. I feel I cannot express what I know and am unable to grasp it here below. We all must pull together and work really hard for the will of God to be done.
We have to pray united deeply as a body. We need to feel. I feel so deep His suffering and His joy.
God is molding our hearts together the more we pray as a body in Him united to the Mass. The devil can try to block this union by trying to keep us separate. The devil uses any means he can to divide. Sometimes words spoken can divide us, and yet our hearts have been united by Him, and there is such pain because He desires us to be one in Him. The devil can use verbal communication to divide us, the devil can create division by differences between men and women and different types of personalities. The devil can use past unhealed hurts that people have experienced in relationships to be as a red flag to divide two people that need to be united for His work, or need to be united to keep the family one and keep the relationships strong relationships.
The vision of the Reign of the Sacred Heart is embedded in my soul.
Words can never express the fullness of the love inside which one person has for another. Every Mass I have attended has planted knowledge on my soul. In some Masses He took me to the heaven-like heights in which I knew intense oneness with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (This has not only been done in the Mass. On December 15, 1995, I felt so intently united to the Divine God in a way that I know more fully this deep union with God for all eternity, all three Persons.)
I have also experienced lack of oneness, separation, in my soul during the Mass that has been an agony I cannot ever account on paper.
My desire is to reach as many souls as I can so that they will be with Him forever in heaven.
I feel this deep sensitivity within me to be able to communicate to Him. I know more His suffering in the garden. He had perfect knowledge and perfect love, and the intensity of what He experienced there is inexpressible in words. He loves perfectly. He knows perfectly. It was not wounds to His mortal flesh that was His greatest agony, but wounds to His tender Sacred Heart for the lack of oneness and love of His creatures. He had knowledge of complete oneness. He saw the hatred and division and the sins of all men for all time.
God is surely good to us. He gives us Himself, He shares His life, He gives us the Mass, the Eucharist, the Church, the priest, the Sacraments, each other, our lives, our breaths.
I see God is the One Who molds our hearts into deep oneness as we dwell in His Heart. We are united more as a body as we partake more fully in every Mass.
The division is so painful when we love someone so much.
The more we are united in Him through prayer and the Mass and consecration, the more division tears our hearts apart. It is His hand that unites us in prayer and consecration and in the Mass. We are united to the whole body of Christ more and more when we participate in the Mass and unite in Him consciously and consecrate ourselves to Him through Mary's Immaculate Heart in the Holy Spirit.
Here again, what I write of here is beyond words.
The more we dwell in His Heart, the more we unite to the Mass. He unites us, it is by His hand. Satan can create division through verbal communication or other ways, but the deep rooted union of the Body of Christ is beyond our complete understanding. We are united in Him in the Mass and in our baptism and life in the Church. It is by His hand. Our participation in the consecration intensifies the more we participate and He outpours His grace.
If we fail to communicate verbally, this is not the issue. His mission is implanted on our souls by Him in depth through the Masses, the time before the tabernacle, our prayers, living our consecrations.
He helps us know more and more how to participate more fully in our relationship with Him, how to be one.
He helps us grow in our life of consecration which began at baptism.
Through the purity of Mary's Heart, we can deeply dwell in His Sacred Heart, wherein is found the treasures we seek.
There is a great depth between souls that unite to the Mass and live their consecration. It is the hand of God that unites the hearts, and the words given here are to lead the Church and the world into deeper oneness in Him.
It is not in the words alone that we connect, but God is uniting our hearts in Him as we dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He is the Initiator.
In a world that thinks they control everything, we must feel the air on our cheeks and breathe the fresh air into our lungs, watch the sun rise and set. We do not control these things, the hand of God is upon us.
We have to let go and have faith. God knows the very hairs of our heads and watches over us.
Oh God, give us faith and help us to realize You are working in our hearts in our connection to the Mass and in living more deeply our consecration.
The mission has been planted in our hearts by the hand of God.
We must spread the consecration as Mary said at Fatima. We must unite to the Mass.
There will be one flock with one Shepherd.
The shepherd helps lead the strayed ones home.
The home for us is the Heart of Jesus.
John 10: 7-21
So Jesus spoke to them again:
In all truth I tell you,
I am the gate of the sheepfold.
All who have come before me
are thieves and bandits,
but the sheep took no notice of them.
I am the gate.
Anyone who enters through me
will be safe:
such a one will go in and out
and will find pasture.
The thief comes
only to steal and kill and destroy.
I have come
so that they may have life
and have it to the full.
I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
for his sheep.
The hired man,
since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.
And there are other sheep I have
that are not of this fold,
and I must lead these too.
They too will listen to my voice,
and there will be only one flock,
one shepherd.
The Father loves me,
because I lay down my life
in order to take it up again.
No one takes it from me;
I lay it down of my own free will,
and as I have power to lay it down,
so I have power to take it up again;
and this is the command
I have received from my Father.These words caused a fresh division among the Jews. Many said, He is possessed, he is raving; why do you listen to him? Others said, These are not the words of a man possessed by a devil: could a devil open the eyes of the blind?
John 17: 10-26
All I have is yours
and all you have is mine,
and in them I am glorified.
I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
keep those you have given me
true to your name,
so that they may be one like us.
While I was with them,
I kept those you had given me
true to your name.
I have watched over them
and not one is lost
except one who was destined to be lost,
and this was to fulfil the scriptures.
But now I am coming to you
and I say these things in the world
to share my joy with them to the full.
I passed your word on to them,
and the world hated them,
because they belong to the world
no more than I belong to the world.
I am not asking you
to remove them from the world,
but to protect them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth;
your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
I have sent them into the world,
and for their sake I consecrate myself
so that they too
may be consecrated in truth.
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.
Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.
Ezekiel 34: 11-16
For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them restdeclares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them.

Message for the Junior Shepherds of Christ
From the July 15, 1995 Rosary
Messenger: See before your eyes a group of children with their hearts filled with the love of God and singing. Children's hearts are open and pure. We can turn many children's hearts to the love of God. Children have not yet turned off their hearts, not yet turned their hearts to hearts of stone. Go to the children and tell them about the love God has for them. Tell them about the Eucharist. He ascended into heaven, but He remains with us this day, in His divinity and humanity, in the Holy Eucharist. He remains in the hearts of men, who are in the state of grace, in a very, very special way. Let the little children go to Him. Do we want the world to change? We must reach the children and the priests. We are His soldiers. It is through our examples that this world will see the mighty lessons of His love.
Messenger: Retreat - October 12, 13, & 14, 2000 in China, Indiana.
Mass will be celebrated at 12:00 noon - October 13 followed by apostle recognition and live rosary.
Messenger: Social at Morrow, Ohio, Center October 17, 2000.
Messenger: Mary wants the Red Rosary Book printed. It will cost $12,000 - $14,000 to get them reprinted.
Messenger: Pray for Perry.
(Please copy and pass out to family and friends.)
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.
