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.

December 18, 1999 - Second Message

The Wonder of Our Lady is More Beautiful Than Anything I Can Say.

Messenger: I was told to go beneath Mary’s image after Communion after the 8:00 Mass in Clearwater, Florida.

I arrived in Florida and the day was dismal, not like any I had ever seen through the airplane windows. I looked to see if the glass was tinted and I knew then, clearly, the sky was very gray.

The Father had told us to pray under the image at 6:20 on December 17, 1999. A body of Shepherds of Christ apostles, handmaids and servants gathered with umbrellas and tarps.

One handmaid and two servants had been honored in a special way, all but one of the 9 handmaids and servants and Fred were at Clearwater, Florida beneath Mary’s image.

The handmaids were dressed in white and the one honored wore a veil. She looked beautiful, a handmaid of the Lord, she was a young woman. There were also two dedicated servants that were honored. After the rosary we gathered in procession with the Fatima statue on a platform. Mary was raised high and carried by the young people. An umbrella was held over our Blessed Lady of Fatima’s statue. We circled the Virgin Mary Building, apostles were there from all over the United States and we gaily sang the songs of Jesus as He had requested. Jesus wishes us to sing these songs all the time. Jesus requested we sing the songs for the prayer meetings before the image in Florida, before and after Christmas. These song tapes and song books of Jesus’ songs are available form Shepherds of Christ by calling, writing or faxing us. On the 5th when I come to Florida it is dark many times at 6:20 when I do the prayer service. We finished the procession before Mary’s image singing Our Lady of Clearwater.

When we returned, the colors of Mary on the building were very pronounced in the dark night. We could see her, she was so beautiful. As we sang the song, the image became more vivid. I saw a golden hue and her beautiful colors. There was a white covering over the top of her head. When I returned later that evening by myself to see Mary, the white covering over the top of her head was so pronounced. It was a beautiful rosary in all the rain. The ones we love from far and wide were there.

Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas

Mary speaks: My children, I stood beneath the cross of my Son. The memory of His Crucifixion I want implanted in your hearts. The rain is the tears I am shedding for my little children that will be so far from my Son, Jesus, this Christmas Season. My tears are tears of sorrow for I want to reach them. Oh my children, please pray the prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual, Holy Spirit Novena) we have given you. Please sing His songs with joy and offer your days as He has requested.

I am Mary, your Mother. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. HELP ME PLEASE, I CRY TO YOU.


Messenger: This morning, as requested by Mary, I received this message under her image. She wishes that this be printed with her image picture. She wishes the vision of Lucia be printed here and the handout.

Mary Speaks About Nursing Homes

Mary speaks: I call the nursing homes. I call to you to reach them in Florida, to make videos and tapes to be used in nursing homes and homes around the country.

I want it to say, "Messages for Nursing Homes from Heaven." Also it should read "for use for the terminally ill and others."

Mary speaks: I want the image with all materials. I want it centered here.

I love you, Mary.

I want nursing home residents to come in buses and receive my photo.

I love you, Mary.


December 18, 1999 - Third Message

Messenger: And so we board a plane or get in our car and eat things every day that may not be good for us, and we do not know what may happen on the pages of our book that day, the book of our life.

I had a feeling that I needed to read the information on the safety card being put in an exit seat. I felt something different might happen. I fly to Florida very frequently and didn’t feel this way before.

Whenever our Lord tells me things, I wait for the things to happen. I deliver messages to people and many times, they do not listen. I watch the Lord as He acts in the situation. If I do not deliver the message, many, many souls are affected. The messages always have some results. He speaks to give a serious warning to avert us from danger, or to give us needed information. It is faith that I must have to deliver the message. Because of my love for God and for souls, I know I must respond. On this plane now we have headed for Columbus, Ohio, turned around and headed for Tampa, Florida, headed for Columbus, Ohio again, and now have been told we will go to Atlanta, Georgia, because of some de-icer setup needed on the left wing because of the icy conditions in Columbus, Ohio.

I am always aware of getting my things in order for Him, for I know not the day nor the hour. My life here is very short and very fragile. My greatest desire is to be with Him forever in heaven in the deepest union, to be possessed by God. My desire is to help lead as many souls to Him as possible. I am not afraid of death, because I live to be with Him forever. I long to be with Him. I want it, but while I am here I am fervently working as He has instructed and praying constantly, putting my family and all souls in His Heart. I love all so much. I love the people in the Movement. Their hearts are so big and they are so generous, wanting also to help save souls. They have given their lives to help save souls.

The ceremony in the rain yesterday for our handmaid and servants was so beautiful under Mary’s image. The Father requested this. John, our president told me about the Fatima Movie with Lucia wearing a veil and white dress toward the end of the movie. He said she was covered with rain. He said it reminded him of yesterday. There was Jane, our handmaid, with her white clothes and white veil and an umbrella standing with Morgan and Paul before the Image of Mary, all under the same umbrella. There were the three of them. Last night at the end of the evening the white veil on Mary’s head at the top and the vividness of the image were so beautiful to me. I saw the golden hue and it remained today as I wrote this morning’s message. It was a very golden hue on Mary’s image. I did not see the white veil today, but was told to go there after Communion to get the message from Mary today.

Oh, I do cry to you. This morning before I left I met with a friend, Fernando, from Texas who is helping to translate our materials to Spanish. Jesus so wants us to reach the Spanish speaking people. He said the youth in Mexico pray. Jesus is on fire with love for the children of this earth. This was Mary’s biggest cry when she appeared daily from January 1995, to September 1995 -- "My Heart, my children, my Heart for my children who give up the love of my Son for the world."

Oh Mary, I feel your cries in the depths of my heart. Since she appeared every day in 1995, crying out to reach the children with the rosary and the consecration, I cry. I am a messenger, she cries out to you. Every person answering that call can affect so many souls with their lives given to help us through their prayers, donations, and service. People can help by going to schools and giving them the Rosary Program, by giving nursing home people and elderly the nursing home tapes and messages.

I am a messenger. This is a message for the earth from Jesus and Mary. Oh, will you help us? Will you pray with us? There is a man in California and one in Iowa, and one in your state and the land seems so big and so few are the laborers. We want the world to know about Mary’s image and her message there, but so many have said, "no". If we can reach the Spanish speaking people with Jesus’ messages of burning love, we will reach so many souls that will grow in greater holiness. We need lots of people to pray with us. Oh, please pray for Fernando in all your prayers and his Blue Book team. Pray for Ron. Please pray for us all. We want to reach souls. Today I could have died, one trip on an airplane, and we do not know if we will get off. Our lives are so fragile. I know the messages I have received have results. He gives the messages for a reason. One trip to the corner and a bus runs over the corner and wipes us out. One trip in the car.... Our lives here are only a few years and eternity lasts forever.

Fred said, "Think of 1000 years and then 2000 years, but eternity is not 1000, or 2000, or 3000, it is forever", and our lives are usually less than 100 years.

How do the pages in your book look? When it is closed and sealed shut on your last day, what will the pages read? Did you help bring forth fruit for the Kingdom? I pray that God, despite all my imperfections and sins will take me to Himself forever and possess my soul. Oh God, this is what I live for, give me the grace to be humble and live only for Thee, to do God’s will in love, always living my life as a sacrifice united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Oh that gift, God has given Himself. He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. I pray He will never allow us to suffer the loss of His gifts so freely given to us now. Oh my God, thank you, I cherish your gifts.

Let us all join as a body and thank Him on behalf of the whole human race for all His gifts to us and tell Him we are sorry for our sins.

Grant us your grace and mercy.

Song from Jesus (12880 bytes)


Messenger: When visiting a nursing home this is a plan you can follow to pray a little part of the rosary with the elderly or sick residents.

What is usually done and tolerated by the elderly folks is one Our Father, five Hail Mary's and another Our Father. The song, A Song from Jesus, can be sung before and after these prayers.

It is desirable to have a big picture of The Finding in the Temple when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.


Excerpt from January 13, 1997 rosary, The Finding in the Temple, from the Apostles' Manual.

The Finding in the TempleThe Finding in the Temple

4. And the Father looks to the earth this day and He sees that it is covered with much darkness. He wants us to be brothers and sisters to truly love each other as brothers and sisters with God as our Father and Mary as our Mother...

5. Jesus speaks: I am Jesus and I am asking you this day to read the messages that I have delivered to you in God's Blue Book. Satan is pressing on you. If you read these messages, your hearts will be turned to hearts of love.

7. Messenger: And as the priests' hearts are led more and more into the Heart of Jesus, as the priests become so one with Jesus and celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, immense amount of grace will be released and the faithful will love God with a more burning love...

8. And the children were not lost children and the Mother did not weep any longer for the children were children of God, loving one another, loving their Mother, and doing as she has told us to do.

9. We will all walk hand in hand, loving God and loving one another. There will be this great era of peace in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph...

Q: How do I feel these letters help me when I am hurting inside, to open up and share the pain or the problems within?
