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.


Messenger: Jesus wants us to be Shepherds of Christ to help lead the strayed ones home to His Heart.

Mary leads us to the Heart of Christ, she is our spiritual Mother.

WE ARE SHEPHERDS OF CHRIST.

We must go to her heart, the pure heart so we can dwell most deeply in His.


My dear children, I love you.

Our Lady of Grace

Thank you for helping me
mother my children.
I am Mary your Mother.

August 11, 1994 - Before Mass

He Loves Us, No Strings Attached

(Sitting before Mary’s statue)

Messenger: Jesus, You died for each and every one of us. You love us so much. Your love is shown by Your giving of Yourself. You gave Your very Blood in Your veins and the flesh of Your very Body. Beaten, bruised, bloodied, for such ardent, burning, undying love for us!

To love us without any strings - just love us! I do not even know how to love someone without any strings. You love us. We constantly offend You and neglect You and sin against You. In Your love for us you paid the price for our offenses!

How many times, over and over again, You pour out Your love to us, especially in the Blessed Sacrament, and You are ignored, forgotten, and You watch us offend our brothers with such hatred.

You, O Savior, showed us the way. You loved those who tore the flesh on your Body. You loved those who spit on You. You loved those who drove nails in your hands and feet. You loved those who crowned your precious head with thorns. You, O my precious loving Jesus, loved and love each one of us despite all our sins, to the point of death on the cross. You showed us the way. When they persecuted you and hollered every slander against You, You still loved them.

Oh Jesus, how hard this is to follow Your way. Give me the grace to love as You want me to love all those who persecute me. I, of myself, cannot be like You. Let me realize the love of my Father more fully. Fill me with knowledge of love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit so I can more fully act as you want me to.

Realizing your immense love fills me with such fullness. When the world is cold and mean, the fire of the love of God that burns in my heart keeps me focused on You.

Oh Spirit, open up my heart to the ways of God. I am weak and need your direction. Jesus’ ways are so loving: Total surrender of His whole self in love for us to the point of bitter persecution and death on the cross.

Jesus speaks: Love, My little child, when they persecute you and holler every slander against you, when they do their vile deeds. See Me as I walked the way of Calvary. See My beautiful Mother, see her suffering, My dear beautiful one, for such love of you. This is your Mother. She is by your side, this very day. When you walk the way of Calvary, she never ever leaves you, she stays constantly by your side. This is your beloved Mother. My child, she truly mothers you as she mothered Me. No mother was ever sweeter than this Mother, whom I give to you this day at your side. She knows your pain. She knows your sorrows. She knows what sufferings are. She watched them, she watched all the horrid events of what they did to Me. She walks with you, this day, little sweet one. She is joined in her Heart with My heart, ardently loving you.

You, child, need to pray to your Mother this day. You know how I loved you to My very death. You know how I suffered so for you. Did you realize how My Mother walks by you constantly and loves you? Pray to her, sweet one. She is so close to you. She never leaves your side. As she watched My passion and death, she watches you in all your trials. She loves you so much, My little child. Run to her arms and be so close to her breast. This is your Mother, My little child. Such tenderness and love she has for you! Your Mother goes with you on this journey.


Excerpt from November 1, 1994

Jesus speaks: You are My special apostles to spread the love of My Most Sacred Heart. Do not take this job lightly. I give you this day your arms for battle. They are your hearts filled with My love. Come to the Eucharist, come to the tabernacle and be filled with My love. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My heart is open and waiting to share My love with you. Make up to My heart for all the indifference shown to Me. Come to My Sacrament of greatest love and give Me your love.


Excerpt from Blue Book V:

November 1, 1994

Return To The Heart Of A Child

Jesus speaks: Do you want to love Me? Then I call you to purity. Your heart must be so pure. Return to the heart of a child. A child has a heart that forgives and is ready to love. A child does not remember hurts and grudges, a child loves. Unless you become like little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven!

Be as the saints, you are My saints this day in this world. I call you to love. To love God with your whole soul. I call you to love your neighbor as yourself. Child, to My death on the cross I loved those who persecuted Me. I call you to this love, to pray for your enemies, to love those who give you the greatest trouble.

If you want to love Me, your heart must be pure. Any willful taint of hate and anger in your heart blocks your closeness with Me. See, My beloved ones, God with an open heart on fire for love of you. The fire is ever ablaze, it is ever loving, it is bellowing, it is love from God Himself, Who is love. Why hold on to grudges with mere men when I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, wait for you with My open Heart of love. I love you so this day that I would suffer and die for you. Put on Christ in all your actions. I showed you the way. You were created in the image and likeness of God. Would I hate your brothers? My way is peace, My way is love, My way is the way I show you in My life. Live the rosary in your life. Live the lives of Jesus and Mary in the rosary. There is such intimacy in our lives and our hearts.

She suffered so for love of you! She calls you this day to return to a pure heart, a heart that was made for loving. When you were baptized you were born into new life—the life of sanctifying grace. You partake in the Divine life in a special way when you remain in the state of grace. Live as I showed you the way. Always love, My dear children. I call you to a heart full of My love for one another. Our union together depends on your ability to let go. Let go and live in Me.

Come to Me in the Eucharist, the Sacrament of My greatest love. I pour out Myself to you. I give Myself to you. Devotion to My Heart leads you to the Eucharist. I love you so much. Come to Me, be one with Me, see Me in your brothers. I call you to live in Me. I call you to be Christ to one another. I call you to Love. Pray the Our Father.


Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary 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.

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.
