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.


Jesus speaks: URGENT REQUEST - PRAY HOURLY FOR 2 SPECIAL INTENTIONS, please pray especially March 5, 6, 7, 2000, and continue to pray, unite as a body praying united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and at the 6:20 prayers. Ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on all involved, the Church and the world, cast out the devil, consecrate their hearts to Our Hearts and pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.


Jesus speaks: I come to set the captives free from the snare of the evil one.

Jesus speaks: I give you My Heart, I am God.

My Heart is pure, filled with Divine Love.

Your hearts are tainted, you are the children of Adam and Eve.

My Mother's Heart is Immaculate, conceived without sin.

I COME TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.

You must give your hearts to Our pure and holy Hearts.

I ask you to consecrate your hearts to Our pure and holy Hearts.

I am the New Adam, Mary is the New Eve.

On July 5, 1998, I requested that all reporters report that the world had been consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

My Mother appears here and here is her message.


Mary's Message 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.


Mary's Message of December 12, 1996

December 19, 1996

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.


Jesus speaks: This is the story. On December 12, 1996, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe we gave the following message that a tape be made, "Mary's Message" with this message on it.

Mary requests this message be played continually from her site in Florida.

Mary speaks: My children, I cry for my little ones. I have appeared over 500 times to my messenger, now I appear on this building and I beg you to help me reach my little children, they need to pray the rosary, my children. They need to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.

Oh my children, help me. Do as my Son requests, Oh my children, pray for your Church and your world.

Help me spread the rosary.

Oh my children, help me reach my children.

Jesus speaks: I ask this message of My Mother be read for the television. I ask that Mary's Image be shown.

I ask that all be referred to the message of March 5, 2000.

Mary speaks: I ask you to pray the prayers my Son gives in the Shepherds of Christ prayer manual for the Church and the world.

I ask you to pray as my Son has requested.

I ask you to pray the 6:20 prayers to the Holy Spirit and the prayer manual prayers at 6:30, followed by the rosary.

I ask that the rosary meditations from Our Hearts be circulated to children, elderly, priests, all people.

Oh, my children, please IF YOU WANT PEACE YOU MUST PRAY THE ROSARY.

Mary speaks: I WANT MY IMAGE ROSARY circulated to all.

I want all to be rosary makers and to put the rosary in the hands of all.

I want all children to pray.

I appear to teach you how to pray.

We give you these rosary meditations from Our Hearts.

Books of rosary meditations are available.

This is my Rosary Factory for the world.

I wish rosaries to be sent here so they can be circulated to all.

I want to reach the priests with my Son's priestly newsletter.

Oh, my children, please pray for your Church and your world, pray the short prayers my Son has given you.

If you want peace, my children, you must pray.

Oh, I love you so much.


Our Lady's Peace Plan (Excerpt from Shepherds of Christ Brochure)

The mission of the Shepherds of Christ Movement is closely connected to Our Lady of Fatima's mission. We hope to play a major role in helping to bring fulfillment of the Peace Plan of Our Lady of Fatima. This plan includes:

  1. Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary -- until a sufficient number of people make and live the consecration, we will not have peace in the world.
  2. Praying the rosary.
  3. Observing the First Saturday Devotion.
  4. Making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.


Message of July 31, 1994, to Fr. Carter

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits).


Message of October 13, 1994, to Fr. Carter

The Birth of the Full Ministries of the Shepherds of Christ

"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:

'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'

Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.


Jesus speaks: Please pray as I have instructed, please circulate the newsletter to all priests in the world.

Please begin prayer chapters, please pray at 6:20.

Oh I love you so much, I give you My prayers to pray.

Booklets are free upon request, please pray My prayers.

Oh, I love you,

I am Jesus.

Mary appears to reach the world with her peace plan and to take the men to My Sacred Heart.

I will reign as the King of their hearts.

YOU MUST GIVE YOUR HEARTS TO JESUS AND MARY.


Excerpt from March 3, 2000, Daily Message

Jesus speaks: Sound the trumpet, sound the gong, I give you grace to lift your hearts with the sound of children singing, sing the Song from Jesus. You join this chorus of young little voices.

I teach you the secrets of the spiritual life, it is to live to love and serve your God as did Mary the handmaid of the Lord.

Do not be afraid, I go before you, put all fear behind you, only have holy fear of God, love and put your faith in Him.

A sunny day opens the day around you, a heart filled with joy. I come, the Divine Bridegroom, to bind up your wounds and lift up your souls to God, to the heavens.

JOY and thanksgiving pleases the Lord, you must model your lives after the Virgin.

A light has dawned, a dark night has turned into a lighted day to set the captives free.

You must discipline your wills and follow your God's command, follow the One Who leads you.

I am the Good Shepherd, I know mine and mine know Me.

Awake into splendor, though the mountains fall about you, you hear the sound of angels singing, for you know your God loves you.

Your heart is lifted high, you trust in My Sacred Heart,

You see your faults and the folly of your ways and you embrace your God.

Sound the trumpet, sound the gong, a day of glory dawns in the chants of the Lord, a Bridegroom is given to His bride, a heart of love permeates the hearts torn with grief and wounds and men's hearts sing with joy, for I am your God and you are My people. Have faith My young children, faith in your God and know His power, for He is the God of all ages, not a God that comes and goes, that flowers and fades, He is the God of all ages and He is with you today.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, I am the Eternal Light, a light to the troubled world.

Let your organs play the notes of joy and give glory to God, for I am real and I am truly with you in the Eucharist, I am the Bridegroom of your souls. I come to claim My bride and woo her with the sounds of a Divine Bridegroom loving her with My Divine Love.

I am God, I am with you, sing my children, proclaim a day of the Lord, the joy is in your hearts, raise them and give thanks to your God.

I am God, one, true and holy.

Sound the trumpet, sound the gong, Jesus Christ has died and has risen, I cry to you, this is your victory.

Let the scales drop from your eyes, shout Oh city of Zion --

God IS IN YOUR MIDST ALLELUIA -- let go of your polluted rags, let all your false gods fall around you,

Embrace Him and let your hearts sing for joy ALLELUIA.

YOU HAVE COME HOME TO THE HEART OF CHRIST.

Sing and pray the Our Father --

God is with you, shout for joy,

Let the city shine with light,

Let the people bow before Him --

He is their God -- they are His people.

Alleluia, God has visited His people and He has made His dwelling in their hearts.

Messenger response: Alleluia, God is with us. Amen, Alleluia.

Jesus speaks: I love you My children, I give you My life, I give you My message in My Blue Books, a message of God's love.

Messenger: And I approach the table of the Lord as a bride, bedecked with jewels and I received Him -- He is the Divine Bridegroom, the Bridegroom of my soul.

Oh Jesus, save us and set your captives free. From the belly of the large fish you released Jonah, from our tombs of imperfections and sins, release us that we may dwell with you in peace. The spirit is willing, the flesh is weak.

Jesus speaks: Open up your hearts, oh Jerusalem, I am God and I love You.

My children, I have gifted you with the fruit of heaven, a feast for your troubled souls, I give you My life, it is your gift. Receive Me, love Me, embrace Me, let go of the wraps around you, discipline your wills, see the light, reach for your God, live to love. In all your heartaches I never, ever leave you, I am here.

I am the Commander of the Ship, when you suffer persecution be filled with joy, for you please Me when you love.

Messenger: I see the face of Jesus in the ones I love.


From the Mass of March 5, 2000:


Responsorial Psalm:

Psalm 81:2-7, 9-10

Strike up the music, beat the tambourine,
play the melodious harp and the lyre;
blow the trumpet for the new month,
for the full moon, for our feast day!

For Israel has this statute,
a decision of the God of Jacob,
a decree he imposed on Joseph,
when he went to war against Egypt.

I heard a voice unknown to me,
I freed his shoulder from the burden,
his hands were able to lay aside the labourer's basket.
You cried out in your distress, so I rescued you.

'You shall have no strange gods,
shall worship no alien god.
I, Yahweh, am your God,
who brought you here from Egypt,



Excerpt from March 4, 2000, Daily Message

Jesus speaks: When I was on the earth I taught men My way. They crucified Me.

They stood around and they shouted accusations at Me. I was God, they shouted, "Crucify Him."

My very Peter whom I loved denied Me. He worried about what other people thought.

I give you My Movement and the messages I have given from the beginning. Your lives have changed, you walk in a deep spiritual way in your lives.

I ask you to be grateful and praise your God. I ask you to give thanks for the gifts I have given which have taken you into the depths of union with Me.

My men, there are families praying the rosary, loving Jesus in the Eucharist and doing what God wills them to do.

The messages I have given have changed the lives of so many in the world.

I am God, I was beaten,
                I was bloodied,
                My flesh was torn,
                My body bruised,
                My Heart was pierced,
                My clothes were torn off of Me,
                I was mocked,
                I was spit on,
                I was flogged,
                I stood around the men who glared at Me.

I was alone, My hands tied, My Heart torn and they got together, all of them as a body, and they hollered in one accord "Crucify Him, crucify Him."

I picked you up like a little wounded bird, I nursed your wounds, I gave you My Body to eat, I gave you My Blood to drink, I gave you a greater sharing in My life.


From the Mass of March 5, 2000:


Reading II:

2 Corinthians 4:6-11

It is God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' that has shone into our hearts to enlighten them with the knowledge of God's glory, the glory on the face of Christ. But we hold this treasure in pots of earthenware, so that the immensity of the power is God's and not our own. We are subjected to every kind of hardship, but never distressed; we see no way out but we never despair; we are pursued but never cut off; knocked down, but still have some life in us; always we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our body. Indeed, while we are still alive, we are continually being handed over to death, for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our mortal flesh.


Jesus speaks: I ask for the "Come out of Your Tombs" message of Ascension Thursday, 1998, to appear here.


Ascension Thursday May 21, 1998

Jesus speaks: (with great emotion)  COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!!  I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.

I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.

Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.

Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lense graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.

I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.

Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blindmen and I shout to you.

My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart.

Messenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!

Messenger: As I unite with Him in the most intimate experiences in the Eucharist, I become one in His desires and what He wants, I become more as He is. He is the life, He is the resurrection, He is God.

I become more in Him, His desires are my desires, the Father's Plan is imprinted in my soul during the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. I am transformed immensely in those moments after Communion to being alive in Him.

God the Father: I am God, you are man, I have given My Son Jesus to you to unite your soul to Me. I am the Father, He is the First Born from the dead. Life will abound in heaven and on earth.

God has visited His people and now He Reigns. He has ransomed them with the Blood of the Lamb.

Rita!

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love!

Yeh! Yeh! Yeh!

Sound the trumpet!

Sound the gong!

VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!

I'm so excited! I just love this Movement!

Another great victory!

One of the kids that comes on Sunday- Heather, is not Catholic but she's been coming for such a long time. She learned the rosary and so many things about the faith from the Junior Shepherds of Christ. -- our reading those rosaries from the children's book. The other day Evalia, who brings her and her son, told me now she wants to become Catholic!!

Heather is such a beautiful person! She already asked her mother if she could and got permission! I really see that grace is poured out on the kids that come to the Junior Shepherds, just like Jesus and Mary promised! It's so exciting! So many fruits are brought forth from all our efforts, we just don't even know how much!

Tonight was so powerful during the prayer service! My heart was just so filled with intense love and joy and I wanted to dance around and feel the fresh air and lift my arms in sweet surrender -- just enjoying the love of Jesus and Mary!

This is all so awesome beyond words! I love you! You make me smile!

Love, Emily, handmaid


February 28, 2000

Rita,

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love!

Yeh! Yeh! Yeh!

I'm so excited! A young woman brings her two children to the site every Sunday to the Junior Shepherds of Christ. One of them helps us with the prayers, Michaela, and her younger sister is about four -- Cheyenne. They are so cute! They come every week and love to pray with us and also Michael and Heather come every Sunday as youth in the Junior Shepherds of Christ. They are all so wonderful, praying with all their hearts!

We always have such a wonderful time, and each week by the end of the rosary our hearts are filled with the greatest joy and excitement -- just so filled with the love of God!! Its so exciting every week with these beautiful youth! Michaela's and Cheyenne's mother came today to the site and was just so overflowing with excitement and joy that she was just glowing. She said how much the Junior Shepherds of Christ are doing for her children! She was just in awe at how much she's seen them change! She just saw how much the rosaries and all the material have helped her kids! Cheyenne is so cute! She sings with us and prays with us and they all love to come to the site! They even make rosaries for us! I've really seen how each week each of them -- Michael, Heather, Michaela, and Cheyenne glow brighter and brighter as their eyes shine with an outpouring of love more and more! Like the youth that come from the school about once a month -- you can see the transformation right before your eyes as they're there. Its amazing!

The youth crave this love of God that the world is just not giving them!! They soak it up like a sponge! Its amazing! Jesus and Mary said when you reach the children, you will reach the world! One soul on-fire can do so much! Especially young people! Kids learn things so fast! I'm so excited about these young ones that really are wanting to be fed. I see the transformation! Its so neat!

I love you!

Emily, handmaid
