Messenger: 40 days to grow in my union with Jesus
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb
the Bridegroom of the soulOh 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.
Words of Surrender of a Soul
Words of Consecration to God
Today Lord, (today's date), I give You my entire will-
I give You all my liberties, I want to love and serve You as You desire.
I surrender myself to You.
I ask You to run my life.
I ask You to help me act like You, Jesus, and like Your Mother Mary.
God, this day I consecrate myself to You.
I am (name) , Your beloved child, guide me on my way now as I go about my day (or if in Church) as I leave Your Eucharistic presence.

Messenger:
Oh sweet comfort to be alone with Him
my beloved.
The time goes by so quickly.
And my first message of the day and
His message for us for lent
Every moment to pray for grace to
do what He wants the way
He wants.
To give oneself totally over to Him.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart
everyone will be working like
clock work doing God's will
all living in harmony.
In spending our hour He gives us grace
to help us do His will
In spending our hour we get
so many blessings
Going to Mass is such a gift.
Everyone who loves Him, does the work
to please Him, He the Captain
the Master Our God
We follow the messages to please
Jesus
The messages are to help us have this
deep intimate connection with Him.
The connection with Him becomes
that of greater oneness.
Thank God for this wonderful
season to let us look at
ourselves to pray deeply
to be more loving
A priest said at Mass the day before
yesterday his grandma was
loving.
That is what God calls us to love
God and love one another walking
hand-in-hand in doing God's will.
Our call in Shepherds of Christ is to walk
hand-in-hand mailing out the prayers
Jesus gave to Fr. Carter and the
Spirituality Handbook
The focus of the Movement was these
mailings, beginning prayer chapters
and growing deeply in the spiritual
way of life.
Today I am in Florida at Light of Christ
Church, this is where I received the
beginning of the Spouse of the Lamb
material when Fr. Carter was here.
A special priest said Mass yesterday and
today.
He talked so deeply about Jesus, this makes
my heart burn.
In yesterday's message Jesus told us to choose
Life or Death and sing the song
everyday we could review the words
of the song.
Today at Mass the priest said the same
thing.
I love that when God is telling us the
same thing in our hearts.
Our primary connection is with Jesus
We live every moment to serve Him.
I would like to put on the first Spouse
of the Lamb entry when I received
the Prayer for Intimacy with
the Lamb
I was in this Church
Light of Christ
Excerpt from The Spouse of the Lamb
Ash Wednesday,
February 25, 1998 - 1st DayJesus speaks: Do you think I acted on your soul less when I gave you the experiences of hell?
I give to you the greatest graces to know My love. I act directly on your soul. I am the Bridegroom of your soul.
Messenger: Oh Jesus, He took me to the heights of ecstasy in Him in realizing how He is the Initiator and acts on my soul. How foolish I am indeed to think it is I who control the workings of God on my soul, when in fact He is the Bridegroom of my soul.
I see Him look at me with the greatest love, as I did once in the study, when I knew He looked at me and loved me so. I sat with a white dress and my Bridegroom looked with love on me, thinking me so beautiful to Him, me the little child of the Father in all my faults, and looking on me with such love. He stood above me as a Bridegroom dressed in black, tall and handsome, and He looked down with the most loving eyes upon me and I knew the love of the Divine Creator.
Today I knew how it was, how He acted on my soul.
I see how it is when someone really acts in love and does something for me because that person loves me.
I see myself as open, letting go, putting myself entirely in the hands of the Creator, the God I love, and the Bridegroom comes with the greatest love and His grace. He gives me Himself. My job is to be, just to be, a soul, waiting for the Bridegroom to just give me Himself in the greatest love. I am, I know it is He who acts, and when He acts His presence overtakes my soul. I am, I let go and I reminisce about all the times He just overtook my soul.
Little do I do, for it is the Bridegroom loving me, loving my soul and acting most intimately on my soul.
I sit and surrender myself entirely to Him. He is the Initiator. He is the One Who acts with His grace and NOTHING - no intimate experience, nothing here can fill the soul with this love and satisfaction.
For the Bridegroom acts and the soul is satisfied, the only desire is that it will never end. Sometimes there is such a longing and realizing the temporariness of it all. Sometimes He gives my soul such satisfaction, comfort and love, and I am filled with the greatest peace and satisfaction with less awareness of the temporariness, just peace.
Jesus speaks: I give you the peace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus when He acts on the soul of His spouse. I am the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. I am the Spouse of your soul. I give you this satisfaction so that you will write to Me after Communion for My Mass Books for the world. This book will be entitled the Spouse of the Lamb. I will act on your soul most intimately.
And what My child is the key, but total surrender as a spouse who knows her spouse loves her and takes the love given. You, child, pray for this grace, to be possessed by the Lamb, the Bridegroom of your soul. What lesson did I teach you this day but that it is I who act upon you, you do not control My love given to you in any way. A grace is given, a grace is received.
Your total surrender is the way to most optimally allow the Bridegroom, the Lamb, to act on your soul.
Total yielding, so that you will allow yourself to be IN ME.
Messenger: Oh my God - how to explain that which happens when You act on my soul and what I experience. Are there any words that could do this justice when the Almighty God finds favor with me most intimately, and gives Himself to me?
Jesus speaks: My child, I act, you are passive, empty and open. Surrender and I will possess your soul with the lights of heaven so you can experience your Divine Lover most intimately. Surrender, surrender, surrender, a state of being and surrender to live in Him at the point of greatest intimacy in the Mass.
You will know days of darkness and joy as the shadows and lights fade in and out of your life and I reveal Myself most intimately to you.
I am Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of your soul. Your hand must record these experiences for the marriage of the Lamb to the soul.
I act upon your soul most intimately.
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: My beloved Jesus,The Bridegroom of my soul. It is not I who write, but in fact, You Who write through me, to Yourself. I surrender myself and want to exist in You in such oneness that I can more optimally love You.
This is my desire to give You great love from my heart existent in You.
And this I write for 10 minutes that You will help me to love God most intimately and give myself more completely to Him.
My God, I adore You, I worship You, I love You, my beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul. I know the black Bridegroom, the one dressed as a bridegroom who wears a white robe of glory. Yes, it is the priests dressed in black that are to teach us to be the spouse of the Lamb.
Revelation 1:6
and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
Messenger: And the Bridegroom comes, He summons the soul.
Oh, my Bridegroom, we pray for the wedding of the Lamb to our souls.
We pray for the spousal relationship of our souls with Our Divine God.
Jesus speaks: I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The life flows from My Sacred Heart to My body, the Church. Many never mention the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
What body would survive cut off from the heart? My life flows from My Heart into the body, My Church.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus and My Heart will reign - I am calling My people to a personal spousal relationship with God. This is the work of the Shepherds of Christ. I bless you in this mission to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart.
I am Jesus, the Son of God, Son of Man, the Sacred Heart, I am the beating Heart that keeps the body alive with My grace.
Messenger: Blood and water poured forth from His most Sacred Heart. Blood a symbol of the Eucharist, water a symbol of Baptism.
He cursed the barren fig tree.
Revelation 6:13
and the stars of the sky fell onto the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when a high wind shakes it;
Revelation 7:17
because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 5:10
and made them
a line of kings and priests for God,
to rule the world.

March 6, 2003 message continues
Messenger: Today we are beginning the days of lent
Let's make it a wonderful journey
to travel before Easter so
as we celebrate the Holy Week
Services and the Easter Celebration
and all that follows Ascension
Pentecost, the Holy Trinity,
the Body and Blood of Jesus, and
the Feast of the Immaculate Heart
and Sacred Heart and the month
of Mary May and the month of the
Sacred Heart June
Our hearts will be more pure and
we will be so very deeply connected
to Him.
Yesterday I did the video on the stations
of the cross before Mary's image
it was so wonderful remembering
the words of Jesus from February 22, 1995
When I received them, to hear Jesus
say them, I cried and cried
as He spoke to me.
I hope you will say these often and hear
the beautiful words of love Jesus
gave us in these stations.
 |
The First Station JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH Jesus: My dear child, with angry
hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to
death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I
knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand
your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to
transform you more and more into My image and, through this
transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I
love you! |
 |
The Second Station THEY GIVE JESUS THE CROSS Jesus: They gave Me a heavy cross, laden with
the sins of the world. They placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I
felt as if My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little crosses,
to experience little pains. I could not remove this cross from My
shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through My suffering and
death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day
that you will grow in your life with Me. Oh, child, I loved you so much
that I took up the cross of salvation. I love you. Please realize that I
am talking to you here. To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you! |
The Third StationJESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up. When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to
My Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the tabernacle and in the
Eucharist than on the day I carried My cross. I wait with the same love
that I had for you when I carried this cross and suffered such agony.
Oh, how I love you! |
 The Fourth Station JESUS AND MARY MEET Jesus: I saw the face of My beautiful Mother.
She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender
heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My
Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering. |
 The Fifth Station SIMON OF CYRENE IS FORCED TO HELP JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could not move.
My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was
so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today?
Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When
you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense
suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do
always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and
love of Me. |
 The
Sixth StationVERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS Jesus: My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you! |
 The Seventh Station JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME Jesus: Oh, dear ones, the road became harder
and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and
weaker. My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as I
walked. The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was
covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and
fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they
kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men! My greatest agony was not
the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My heart for the love I have
for all My precious souls. I loved them so dearly. I loved those who
persecuted Me. Oh, how I love you! |
 The
Eighth StationJESUS MEETS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM Jesus: The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you! |
 The Ninth Station JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME Jesus Falls the Third Time |
 |
The Tenth Station JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS Jesus: They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you! |
 |
The Eleventh Station THEY NAIL JESUS TO THE CROSS Messenger: See Mary as she holds the little
Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now
as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic
nails that fix Jesus to the cross. |
 The Twelfth Station JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS (Silence.) |
 The Thirteenth Station JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER Messenger: His totally lifeless body was placed
in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby
body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her
arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for
us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His
Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side.
See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is
love. |
 The
Fourteenth StationJESUS IS LOCKED IN THE TOMB Messenger: His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much! |
March 6, 2003 message continues
Messenger: Jesus wants us to meditate on these words.
They tell us how deeply He loves us.
Sometimes, we may feel someone is
pressing on us to fill their
emotional needs
We must keep our focus on our relationship
with Jesus
this is our focus
The messages given are to lead us to a
deeper love connection with
Jesus in our hearts.
I am a messenger, Shepherds of Christ delivers
messages of His burning love
ways to lead us into deeper love union
with God
Ways to help us grow in our love
union with all three Persons
My relationship is not the ultimate
goal with the people it is
to help lead us into a deep
connection with God.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart everyone
will be in this loving harmony,
connected in their hearts because
they will know God's will for
them and long to live in doing
His will.
This is the key to peace
harmony
love
Doing God's will
every moment living in the moment
From a Lenten Homily, March 24, 2000
Live in the Moment
Todays Gospel in its story certainly points ahead to Jesus in His Passion and death. And as we read passages such as this during the Lenten season, we are reminded once again that the Church in her Liturgy of the Word gives us an opportunity to undergo a purification, an ever deepening cleansing of ourselves so that we may be a more fit instrument
for receiving the great graces which are to be given to us at the time of the Resurrection memorial on Easter. And so all in all, Lent is a time of purification to prepare us for ever-greater gifts of the Lord. Its a time of self-discipline, a time to renew our efforts to be self-disciplined in the service of the Lord. Self-discipline is an aspect of purification. And I suggest that one of the most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on the past or in a wrong way on the future. There are proper occasions for thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. And of course we are familiar with that term in the history of spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. And so the discipline of Lent certainly encourages us to include in a deeper self-discipline a greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment. People with a terminal illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very, very quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some certainty the time of their death, Im sure as they look back on their lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever greater focus upon Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present moment. And so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that self-discipline - which is very difficult at times - to really live in the presence with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help of Gods grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation.
