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: The shadows of light fall around you and you do not see the light of day.
The joy of the moment is within you, My child. Live most fully in that.
For the message has been delivered through those I sent, that it is in the fullest embracing of the singular moment that you are to live your life in Me.
A day passes and you have changed by every fleeting moment of that day. It has imprinted an indelible mark on your soul, but it is in the depth of the messages implanted on your soul from living your life that you most fully participate in that moment at hand.
The wounds of the past linger and sometimes keep the depth of a new moment closed to the greatest participation of that individual soul.
It is a life of truth you must embrace, of unfolding the dark shadows seated in your soul and working through them with peace and love, forgiving all who have offended you and asking for forgiveness of those you have offended, unless to do so would only hurt them more.
I ask you to live, at every moment to be existent in that moment most fully, but never to forget the past, but to live in its truth, for it is what has brought you to this place. I ask you to see before you the reality of the life hereafter and to live in that present moment, embracing the vision of the life to come.
But so many never touch the soft skin of the child they hold, or relish the moment when one must change the diaper of her baby, for she is envisioning days of splendor ahead or sulking in the mishap of the day before.
I send a message to you through the words of your friends so that My mission might be seen in a wider light.
A past, a future, a present moment, one lived in Me, lived to the fullest.
When at Mass focus totally on Me and the offering of sacrifice and the gift given to you.
You cannot live in the past nor can you live in the future, you live in that moment in the gift I give you, embracing the past in truth, cherishing its memory, thanking God for the gifts given, learning from its experiences and thanking God for the moment at hand.
It is truthfulness, it is not to shut the door on your past, it is not to forget about the life to come, it is to engage wholeheartedly in the present moment, living according to God's will in love.
My child, if you do not do this, you never fully live.
You must touch down, touch the child you hold, be attentive in every word of your prayer, not so rushed you zoom around as one who is always running and never touching down.
And the children come and go, and when they were there and you dressed and nursed them and cared for their needs, you never enjoyed the beauty of that moment of holding the child. Your thoughts were off on what other people thought or what you had to do in your busy schedules.
Who created that schedule so that you never took the time to smell the roses?
To participate fully in your lives I want you connected every moment to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass going on around the world. Connect in your Morning Offering and live in every moment, that I may live in you and touch your fellows in love.
LIVE - I call you to LIVE, not think about life or live in the past. I call you to actively dwell in My Heart at the present moment so you can properly engage in your life here as I live in you and you live in Me.
Oh, you are so caught up, some with the longest faces of bitter anguish, for they never had what they wanted.
Are you always looking for life some place else? Happiness is in your heart, in living in that moment as I so deign, in accepting the cancer, if it is your fate, in accepting the blurred vision, the creaking bones and in doing all you can to correct it. But some things you must accept as God's will for you.
To live in the past is foolish, to want something else all the time is to never be satisfied.
Your life is lived to be with Me for all eternity, giving yourself in loving surrender to the Father's will.
Many with addictive problems never live in the moment, they live for the drink, or the fix, or the pleasure of later on.
Many, then, when they have what they are addicted to, are choosing something that is really contributing to the deterioration of themselves. It is a choosing of a death pattern, not a life pattern, for their lives. Many addictive patterns cause the deterioration of body and spirit.
Do you live for some other time, do you spend all day working so you can reward yourself with alcohol or sex?
Are you always looking for someone to make you feel good?
Always in the back of your mind is there the thought of finding that person that will make you happy or satisfy you?
Oh, child, what are you motivated by, finding a candy to fill your soul, a man, a drink, a drug, an occupation, money?
What is it that you really think will make you happy?
Is your life going by, and while you choose these things that you think will make you happy, are you missing the joy of holding your baby, the joy of receiving the flowers that some sweet friend sends, because you are never satisfied?
Your hearts were created for God. The desires within you cannot be fully satisfied by any thing or person here.
You were created for Him.
Live accepting the moments He sends you, embracing sorrow and joy as gifts from God. Cancer can be a gift, if it is God's will you have it. Old age is a gift, if God desires you to have it.
Those old-age years are years when I can so intimately connect to you and you can offer your suffering for the Church and the world.
I am God. I give you great gifts today. Embrace your life and live. Live the moments in love, touch the moments and try to make the most out of each moment for the spread of My Kingdom.
I am God. I love you.
Messenger: They were like men singing, as they glided over the briars and rocks of life, for they never forgot their God, nor lost sight of Him. They embraced suffering and joy and lived the gifts He sent in the moment, living as fully as possible, living according to the Father's will.
And peace was their song, a song of peace, for they surrendered to the ways of the Lord.
Jesus speaks: It is necessary to work through wounded feelings, experiencing the pain of relationships that have hurt you.
A child that loses a parent, or suffers later in life from a romantic relationship that has failed, needs to work through the trauma and hurt feelings.
In embracing the past, looking at the situation, you can more freely advance in the future.
But for a person to never properly live in the present moment brings unhappiness.
I give to you in the present moment many sufferings. It may be the Father's will that today you remember the events that surrounded your relationship with your father.
In so doing you take this time because to not do so would affect your relationships with others in the present moment.
It is not God's will that you close the door on the past. You must work through your old relationships so that there is truth and forgiveness and finally love. This is a process that means that children in severely dysfunctional homes many times will have to spend great amounts of time writing and seeking the truth, praying to forgive, asking Me to help them work through the pain, and eventually loving those who wounded you, and praying for them.
Peace lies in the truth.
Peace lies in getting in touch with yourself, past and present and always seeing the future life with God.
You are the weary travelers of the earth.
One who lives in the past and who cannot get out of the laments of "poor me", and, "if only I had done it differently", is not living in a healthy manner here and now.
Although you may become so present to the past as to relive feelings that are stuffed, there is always the realization that you are living in the present, and that to do so will help free up your life so that you will be a more active participant in your life here and now.
There are times when the memory of past events and relationships give such pleasure to the existing moment.
A person in a relationship lives always in that relationship without denying the past experiences of that relationship. For example, a mother and a child: the mother sees the child from the very beginning and her relationship with the child is filled with tremendous sorrow and joy, but the actual living can only be experienced in that present moment.
To be so attached to the memories, pleasant and unpleasant, from the past, or so attached to expectations of the future, can cause one to not live truly in the existing moments.
One must plan for the future, always according to God's will. Persons must seek the will of God and do the proper things in their state of life to achieve that which they believe God desires for the future. But one cannot be so attached to the past or to future expectations that they do not try to live as fully as possible in the present moment.
The depth to which a human person can experience emotion and life is so profound.
The more you exist in Me, the more fully you will experience life.
Peace is found in embracing life to the fullest, here and now, as God so desires.
Joy is found in living every moment according to the Father's will. Living in happiness is up to you and how you are in your hearts.
You must choose to accept God's will for you and live in that moment as He so desires. Pray to know God's will, and accept it living it in peace and love.
Song: Oh my children, my children, I give you my love today.
I give you what you need in a very special way.
Whether suffering or joy, the fullness of life I give.
Live in Me and live as your Father wills you to live.
Jesus speaks: Accept the state of life you have today - live it fully for My Kingdom.

Seek True Treasures
February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.
Jesus speaks: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.
I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.
You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?
The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.
Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom.
You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life--one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people's lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday's forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.
Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love!
If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power!
Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important.
Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself.
You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today's moments, yesterday's forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important?
Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it.
Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn't stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday's forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end.
Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many.
Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday's forgotten treasure.
Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.
JESUS SPEAKS: ACCEPT GOD'S WILL FOR YOU, WHETHER SUFFERING OR JOY.
DO NOT FORGET THE PAST. EMBRACE IT.
DO NOT LIVE IN THE FUTURE - PLAN FOR THE FUTURE - don't be attached to your plans and expectations regarding your life on earth.
LIVE IN THE PRESENT, THE HERE AND NOW.
OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO GOD'S WILL
If an unexpected tornado rips through your garden, realize that God's will has allowed it. You must work with the circumstances which God's will has allowed.
My
Hand Is In Everything (Excerpt)
December
30, 1993Jesus speaks: It is in acceptance of all that is before you that you grow in your relationship with Me. Do not try to throw back into My face the little opportunity for grace you receive.
Child, I am ever by your side and I am ever teaching you. Accept all things as happening from Him Who loves you. Know that My hand is in everything you are experiencing. I am vigilant and by your side. Nothing happens to you that I have not consented to.
Mary's Message from the
Rosary of August 27, 1996Mary 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.
