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.


I Will Establish Peace in Their Homes

Messenger: Mary held the sorrow in her Heart knowing that her Son would suffer. Through her whole life until His death, Mary knew of the sufferings to come from the prophesy of Simeon.

Mary speaks: I tell you about humility, humility is truth. My Spouse, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, my Son is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The Father wills all men to walk in the ways of Truth. To dwell in the Heart of my Son, to dwell in my Heart most intimately, is to live in the Truth. The truth will be in you the more you dwell in Our Hearts.

You sit by the pool of life-giving water, you are lame, paralyzed and wounded. Yet, you are waiting for someone to come and move you. When you love someone you go to all extent to be with that person. Do you love my Son? Then you would go to the streams of life-giving water and drink. You are sick my children, but you will not pick up your mat and go to the fountain of life. Please show my children the vision of Lucia, 1929.

Mary speaks: My Heart is bleeding and it is pierced with a sword for my children that are willful and will not go to the streams of life-giving water. The priests must realize they are great instruments of God's grace. His graces will flow copiously the more they are consecrated to Our Hearts.


Prayer of Mary

"Oh Savior, my beloved Son, Jesus, I plead for my children that their souls will be cleansed, that they will be open to my message of Fatima. My children will not listen to me."


Mary speaks: My Son, Jesus, gives to you the streams of life-giving water from His most Sacred Heart.

Please include the promises of those devoted to His Sacred Heart as given by Jesus to St. Margaret Mary.


Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart

(1) I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.

(2) I will establish peace in their homes.

(3) I will comfort them in all their afflictions.

(4) I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.

(5) I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.

(6) Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.

(7) Tepid souls shall grow fervent.

(8) Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.

(9) I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.

(10) I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.

(11) Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.

(12) I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.


Jesus speaks: I am Chief Shepherd of the Flock, you must be rooted in Me, saying constantly, "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee."

I ask that pictures of My most Sacred Heart be displayed in all the rooms in your homes. If other members of your family object, place a small picture there and come before me daily and pray the Litany. Place a picture in your kitchen and say, "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee." Have all of your homes consecrated to My Heart and My Mother's Heart. Click on the program for Enthronement. The main concern is that you have enthroned Me as the King and Center of your home. Others in the family may not wish to have any part of this, do it anyway, do it simply, but do it. Every day say, "I consecrate my home to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart." Feel My presence. I will come and dwell in your home in a special way.

When you have troubled areas in your homes, place a small picture of My Sacred Heart in that room and honor My Sacred Heart before that picture daily. The devil wants to rule in your homes. The filth of the world is being brought into your home. Feel your home as a sanctuary of My Sacred Heart. See Me reigning on My throne there. Have the intention in your heart that all activities are to please the King. The home is His domain. Others may not have anything to do with the Sacred Heart there. You continue to pray, especially in troubled areas where the devil has taken control and you feel someone in your family may be sinning. You live in that home, it is yours, you can venerate My Heart. Do not argue with those in authority that do not wish a picture displayed. If possible, quietly place a picture (a holy card) in the room in a less obvious place and continue to pray there venerating My Heart. Wherever the devil has taken hold in a place, he cannot stand the picture of the Sacred Heart. He wants to be the ruler and master there. Place pictures of My Sacred Heart in children's rooms. If you are the parent, you can tell the child that Jesus should be in the room. Teach the children when they are young to venerate My Sacred Heart. Every time you pass the picture say, "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I adore You, I worship You and I love You, come and dwell in my heart and my home. Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my trust in Thee."

In the Reign of the Sacred Heart, all will live in the Father's will, all will be trustworthy. Now you know that you can always trust in My Heart. I am forever true.

Satan is the master of lies.

Satan wants your children to lie to you. On the television many times evil is made right and what is right is made wrong.

Satan has taught your children through the media that they can decide what is right for themselves.

Some have seen so many television shows and movies that have twisted the truth around. Only a great gift of My grace will ever change their wounded perception of truth.

When children are encouraged by one parent to believe lies through the media, newspaper, etc., the other parent will have a very hard road to trod. The truth is the truth. There is a right way. The children of today do not understand authority. The television and movies teach children to decide for themselves that they must find their own "center of truth". The guide for remaining in the truth is the Word of God and the Commandments. The Church must be a pillar of truth, for it receives its authority from God.

It is very damaging for the people of the Church when the priest changes the basic rules set down by the Pope. Some examples of this concern sex before marriage and issues concerning birth control. Sexual intercourse before marriage is a sin. If the priest bends the Commandments or the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church, this weakens the authority in the Church.

Many ways of thinking in the world are very misdirected. The world is telling people they must create the perfect image. This idea creates tremendous pressure and is leading many to disaster. I will say over and over again: You strive to be perfect; you are imperfect. The world says you must always be perfect and show everyone a perfect, beautiful, clean-cut face. Children in alcoholic families learn to hide the truth. They must deny the truth about the abuse that is taking place in their own homes. Instead of the home being a place of love and sharing, the home is controlled by the drinking of the alcoholic. All are placed in a situation of existing in this very bad environment. The drink controls the alcoholic and everyone else's life is affected by him or her. Another parent called "the enabler" helps enforce the rules. Children learn that they must live with a lie. The lie is that there is not a problem with alcohol in the home when in fact there is a big problem.

People in active alcoholic families do not discuss problems. They do not work to find the truth in the family. The underlying truth is that they are robbed of normal, loving, functioning, life-giving behavior by the alcoholic who controls the atmosphere.

How can they talk about the problem? If they did talk about the problem, the alcoholic would have to quit drinking. The enabler would have to look at the self and the family would have to check all their relationship patterns.

Alcoholic families present a beautiful picture to the outside world and within the walls are some horror-type experiences that cannot be revealed. There are many secrets inside those walls. No one on the outside should ever know so they can present the picture of purity to the world.

This is a lie. Children are taught to lie about their life at home.

In a family that is loving as the Father wills, problems are addressed in love and are worked through.

In drug-related families the results are even more damaging. Addiction is a major problem in families. People living in addicted families learn to cover up the truth. They learn to put problems under the rug. They are taught to hide feelings. Many times they are punished for expressing feelings. They are taught they are not allowed to communicate. Relational skills are marred and in their place are terrible ways of relating that cause enormous problems for the person as soon as they leave the family. Intimate relationships demand an exchange of feelings, communicating effectively, trusting one another, and arriving at the truth. In alcoholic and other addicted homes, people learn that they must live by these rules. They cannot talk, they cannot express feelings and they cannot trust the people in authority.

The father or mother who is addictive is not trustworthy, for their lives are ruled by their addiction. Many children are told things that never happen, expectations are not met. For example, they are told they will be picked up after school and the parent never shows up. Time and time again this happens in the child's life and the child learns that people you love are untrustworthy.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No matter what the dysfunction in your lives, I am to be trusted. I want you to say every time you see My picture, "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee." I want you to know that you can trust Me. When you feel that you are unsure, I want you to come to Me and say, "Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee."

Within My Heart is found all the treasures you seek. I promise this to you:


Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart

(1) I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.

(2) I will establish peace in their homes.

(3) I will comfort them in all their afflictions.

(4) I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.

(5) I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.

Jesus speaks: My children, you are in battle.

My children, you are at war.

My children, there are two camps: that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and that of Satan.

My children, you are in the heat of the battle.

My children, your Mother at Fatima warned you, she gave you weapons to use for the battle.

My children, over 80 years later with the tremendous amount of evil existing in your world, you fight an all-time high battle against the evil one who has gotten stronger and stronger.

More and more people have turned to doing the work of that ancient serpent.

Drug and alcohol abuse, addiction to movies, television, sports, work, food, etc., is the surrendering of your free will to another master.


Genesis 4:4-7

while Abel for his part brought the first-born of his flock and some of their fat as well. Yahweh looked with favour on Abel and his offering. But he did not look with favour on Cain and his offering, and Cain was very angry and downcast. Yahweh asked Cain, 'Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.'


Jesus speaks: The devil wants to be the master. Who is the master of one who has injected a chemical substance in his body for relief?

America, My world, you are to endure suffering. Meditate on My Passion. The world tells you that you should be happy, carefree, enjoying life, taking it easy, looking for pleasures, that you deserve it all. I tell you, you must do all things according to the Father's will. To relieve all suffering is not the Father's will.

Let Me tell you a story. There are problems in life. Many seek a quick solution. Problems arise in life. Many times it is not the proper time to offer a solution. It often takes time to resolve problems. Offering a quick solution often causes more difficult problems.

I hung for 3 agonizing hours on the cross. I walked the bitter Passion to the end.

I do not tell you not to go to the doctor when you are sick, I am telling you that suffering is part of life. When children are disobedient and get into trouble, parents suffer. A quick solution many times is a bad solution. Children in trouble got there over a period of time. The solution will take time, you must endure the suffering and move ahead. In fervent prayer, the Master will help the situation heal.

Your society wants things now. I give you a lifetime to be more like your God. This is what matters.

You are imperfect beings, you are here to grow in more perfected ways of loving and relating.

My world, you are at battle. There are two camps:

Sacred Heart of Jesus

Sacred Heart of Jesus' Camp

Satan

Satan's Camp

Whom do you serve?


Jesus speaks: Whom are the men serving who push drugs on the children?

Whom are the men serving who tell people to abort babies?

Whom are the men serving who make movies with sinful sex and display this on a gigantic screen as beautiful pleasure?

There is no beauty in a soul burning in the fires of hell.

There is a stench from the pit of hell.

YOU ARE AT BATTLE!!

There is a WAR GOING ON!!

SATAN wants dead men.

In World War II, there were dead men and living men.

In this War there are dead souls, living souls.

Are you working for Satan?

Are you working for the Sacred Heart?

There will be no more lies in the Reign of the Sacred Heart. Men's hearts will be pure.

I came forth victorious from the tomb.

Take off your wraps, get to the truth, quit hiding the skeletons in your closets.

Simeon said:


Luke 2:35

and a sword will pierce your soul too--so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'


Jesus speaks: The victor will wear the white robe.

Their names will be written in My Heart.

I will Reign forever and ever in the hearts of men.

Take off your mask and look at what is inside. Give your heart to Our pure and holy Hearts. You are at war, My men, and the suffering is immense, for when the Queen of Peace appeared, you would not listen. You listened to the television. You studied the stock market and knew all the statistics of the players on your sport teams, but to the Mother of all, you spit on her and said, "Go away, I have a life going on."

Like a naughty boy that disobeys his mother, you told her about your will and what you wanted.

You didn't see the gentle look in her eyes, you didn't see her bleeding Heart, you didn't see the tears in her eyes when she spoke to you. You said, "GO AWAY, MOTHER, I DON'T NEED YOU."

Messenger: John: Mary is given to us as Mother (under the cross).


John 19:25-27
Jesus and his mother

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.


Messenger: Listen to His words on the cross. Jesus Christ Who came and was born and died, gave us His Mother.

Mary speaks: This is my message from Florida: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried.

Sorrowful Mother Statue at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

Mary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary: 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.


AUTHORITY - A Message From Mary

Mary speaks: There are enormous problems concerning authority in your world and among the people of the Church. Authority is given from God, all are under Him. The devil attacks authority, he weakens the structure set by God. The Fourth Commandment states children must obey their parents. In dysfunctional families, there exists a very strong imbalance of power. There are parents that are weakened in their authority by the other parent. This imbalance of authority weakens the role of the other parent and is not operating as God wills. Grandparents endorse this imbalance of power, correcting the weakened parent when they assert authority. Children grow up and come back and enforce authority over the weakened parent. Because of force applied in the family by dominant persons, the proper structure is greatly hampered. Satan works in this to disrupt the Father's will.

I now use the analogy to tell you of the weakened role I have suffered in my Church. I am the Mother of the Church. I have authority given from God. If the priests do not recognize my authority in the Church, if they block my involvement as Mother of the Church, the family operates dysfunctionally. God gives directions to be followed so that all will live in the Father's will. If one parent dominates in authority and blocks the other parent, this causes the family to suffer and suffer. If a priest blocks my role as Mother in his particular parish, this will cause great sufferings in that family and suffering in the Body of Christ as a whole.

The people must be taught the lines of true authority delegated by God. People cannot tell themselves they are permitted to change God's word or Commandments to fit their individual needs. Children in today's world are taught this. I am Mary, your Mother.


Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do you feel we can be more like Christ by observing the lines of authority set down by Christ?


Jesus speaks: My people, I am above you, you are under My feet, but My Way is love. I loved you so much I died for you.
