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: 
I went to see my good friend Natalie. She is
                       
91 years old and she had fractured her pelvis.                        
                       
We found out she was in the hospital and both
                       
John and I separately went to see her.
                           
Now I looked at her at the Mercy-Franciscan
                       
Terrace in her wheelchair. She wore a bright
                       
beautiful soft velvety deep rose colored robe
                       
with roses down the front. The color
                       
was beautiful on her. She was in front
                       
of the window where the beautiful
                       
blue sky shown through and the green
                       
almost autumn colored leaves were
                       
so beautifully placed before that beautiful
                       
sky. I saw such beauty in the window
                       
and it immediately made my heart feel
                       
so close to God for only He could give us
                       
such a gift of such enormous beauty.
                       
In it I saw the vastness of the sky, the
                       
beauty in the trees created by Him and
                       
my heart was at such peace and filled 
                       
with such love. I felt the warmness of
                       
the summer day of 7:30 and I saw a
                       
glimpse of sun light warming the earth
                       
and telling that another day was about
                       
to end here in Cincinnati and I felt enormous
                       
peace and joy in that moment of being there
                       
with Natalie and experiencing the beautiful
                       
scene God had given to us behind her
                       
head.
                   
She spoke of her funeral and a little old nun with
                       
a soft voice she wished to play the organ at it,
                       
she spoke of the servers, she spoke of Jesus
                       
with a calmness I cannot describe.
                   
An older woman you say of 91 years and yet the
                       
peace about her was awesome, against the
                       
beauty of the sky outside. My heart was filled
                       
with joy to be living in that moment so
                       
close to God.
She is a product of God's Blue Book.
I remember how I met Natalie.
                   
Our Lord sent me to the Mercy-Franciscan-Mt Airy hospital
                       
one day and I went in to the chapel.
                   
There was a little lady up in years, very little, she
                       
seemed frail sitting before the tabernacle and
                       
altar. I sat for a little while and she turned
                       
to me and asked me if I could help her receive
                       
Holy Communion.
                   
It was dark in that little chapel, one small light
                       
it seemed was before us over the side of
                       
the room.
                   
I remember the color of rose so vividly and the
                       
little lady that was so intent on receiving
                       
Jesus.
She wanted to receive her Beloved in Holy Communion.
                   
She didn't look as peaceful that day in the hospital
                       
chapel as she did at the retirement center against
                       
the beautiful window.
                   
In the hospital that day she began to tell me about
                       
Jesus and how He wanted us to come and sit
                       
with Him.
                   
She told me of her life lived now trying to get
                       
to daily Mass and she walked a lot to
                       
Mercy-Franciscan Terrace
                       
to get there.
                   
She was entirely focused on this great gift
                       
of the Eucharist and her love for Jesus.
                   
At first I thought I was hearing a message
                       
from Jesus in God's Blue Book. I said
                       
to myself, "she has been reading God's
                       
 Blue Book,  is this why   Jesus sent me here?"
                   
Soon it was brought to light. She told me how she
                       
knew these things and lived her life this way
                       
with Jesus because she had read it in
                       
a little book God's Blue Book.
                   
I told her I was Rita and Jesus told me to go
                       
there that day.
                   
It was so beautiful for I saw the outreaching
                       
effects of Jesus' messages on a little lady
                       
that was spending her last days giving
                       
such love to her Beloved treasuring the
                       
Eucharist and living her life in deep
                       
union with God.
                   
Now as I sat in the Retirement Center, I
                       
saw her so many years later and her peace
                       
was awesome. The beauty of the sky and
                       
trees behind her and the words from
                       
her mouth about death and Jesus all
                       
seemed so right. And the moment was one
                       
in which I experienced so much joy and
                       
peace, I felt I touched heaven as I
                       
sat with her.
Her beauty and peace were awesome.
                   
She sat straight with her fractured pelvis and looked
                       
so in control of herself.
                   
She was so connected to her Beloved and her face to
                       
me shown a radiance of His life alive
                       
in her.
                   
She seemed to me to be so completely surrendered to His
                       
will.
                   
She had no place to go but to be there accepting
                       
each moment as it unfolded, but her
                       
vision was on everlasting union with Him.
                   
Then what happened to me was more wonderful than
                       
I had experienced before.
                   
I am not sure she is at "death's door" for the
                       
doctor told me in the hospital that she
                       
had a broken pelvis and it could heal
                       
and she would go home.
                   
What made me think she was worse was when
                       
John visited and I visited the next day                        
                       
she had so much pain medicine in her
                       
right after the fall, she looked like she was
                       
about to die.
Then as that wore off she was more her old self.
                   
Father Mike had anointed her with the
                       
sacrament of the sick and prayed for
                       
her.
                   
I think she fell on Sunday and Father Mike
                       
gave her this sacrament on Monday. The
                       
blessings I am very sure and the grace
                       
of the sacrament really helped her too.
                   
But what happened now was even more peaceful.
                       
I asked her if she had been to Mass yet. Natalie
                       
is a prayer apostle for the Shepherds of Christ.
                       
She prays for us. She said no. I asked her if
                       
she had been to the tabernacle yet and she
                       
said no.
                   
She explained to me,  how God put her
                       
in this apartment on the 5th floor at Mercy-
                       
Franciscan Terrace. The tabernacle
                       
is right by her apartment door. She can
                       
walk in a minute there and she spent her days and
                       
nights much of the time before the
                       
tabernacle praying to Jesus. At St. Clare's they
                       
have a Mass at 10:00 every day for the people
                       
and she was able to go.
                   
Now in her new room on the 3rd floor where she was
                       
recuperating
                       
she said she hadn't been to Mass or the
                       
tabernacle.
                   
I said, "Oh Natalie, you can make spiritual
                       
communions" With that she folded her
                       
hands fingers up, closed her eyes and
                       
went into a spiritual communion.
                   
I, too, went into a spiritual communion and
                       
those twenty minutes were the most
                       
peaceful I had experienced that day.
                   
The connection I felt with God seeing her
                       
before the beautiful sky and the
                       
deep presence I felt of God in my
                       
heart was such a gift I cannot
                       
explain it. It was peace and love and
                       
joy. I knew He was so one with us
                       
and I knew His love and His peace
                       
in that moment. I felt again as
                       
if I had touched heaven and I just
                       
wanted to bask in the warmth of the sun and
                       
just stay there in that moment so one with
                       
God.
                   
I realized how deeply souls are united in prayer.
                       
How deeply we can be united in being one in
                       
our hearts and united to the Mass even when
                       
we are not with each other.
                   
The peace I felt reminded me of when Father
                       
Carter and I would pray together so
                       
deep in our hearts for the Church
                       
and the world or when he celebrated Mass
                       
in China and all the servants and
                       
handmaids would be so united in our
                       
hearts praying for the priests, the Church
                       
and the world.
                   
I want this union in my prayers with all
                       
others, praying so hard for the priests,
                       
the Church and the world.
                       
I want to be so united to God and all
                       
the angels and saints, the souls in
                       
purgatory and the people of the
                       
earth praying for grace and
                       
mercy for souls.
There is such power in prayer.
                   
I feel God has allowed all of the Shepherds of
                       
Christ to go through a special period of
                       
growth since Father Carter's death.
                   
I remember a message in  BBII.
                       
To grow, You Cannot Remain the Same
To Grow, You Cannot Remain the Same
February 12, 1994
After MassJesus: I give you this intense love. Look at Me hanging, arms outstretched. Do you see I am giving you My all out of deepest love of you! How do I wake you? I profess it so profusely, but you do not open your hearts. You crave My love, you want it so badly, but you do not realize I am giving it to you now.
You are My beautiful daughter. I speak to you. You will be rejected but you will plant seeds that will germinate in the hearts of many. You must do My work. Do not be attached to the glory or the persecution. I am God and My might is endless. I am He Whom you love, He Whom you seek. Come to Me and I will fill you!
Preach the Real Presence. I am truly here, God alone! Preach My love on fire for every soul. People are hungry, they will listen. Lead My people to My love.
R. Jesus is speaking to you in the whispers in your heart. Do you block His words and only do what you want?
Jesus: To die to yourself you must listen to every word I plant in your heart, even the ones you do not want to hear because you might have to change something. To grow, you cannot remain the same. There is no growth if the plant stays the same.
I come to feed you, to fertilize you. I give you just the right fertilizer in your heart. Do you want to grow or do you want to remain unchanged? You will not grow if you do not use My fertilizer. It is the quiet whispers in your heart.
"Oh no, not that, Lord!" Oh, say "yes" to all I send you. It is with the greatest of love. It comes from Him Who laid down His life for you, Who gave you the last beat of His heart. I am Who am. I am God and I come before you, bruised, bloodied and beaten and I say, "Do you love Me so much as to listen to My promptings in your heart, to love your sick brothers, to do as The Father wills you to do?" I gave you the last beat of My heart. Why do you hold back? I am He Who loves you. I send you good things. Even crosses are good things. You grow from your trials and crosses.
Growth demands a change. Love finds a way into the hearts of others when you love with a heart of God.
Oh, child, I love you.

I remember a writing I wrote on December 17, 1995
                       
one year before Mary appeared on
                       
the building.
T
HE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVEN... I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him...

Freedom and free will may not be what we

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

Revelation 19: 5-9
Then a voice came from the throne; it said, ‘Praise our God, you servants of his and those who fear him, small and great alike.’ And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, ‘Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.’ The angel said, ‘Write this, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb," ’ and he added, ‘These words of God are true.’

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true." Then he said to me, ‘It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son.

Revelation Chapter 20
The reign of a thousand years
Then I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key of the Abyss in his hand and an enormous chain. He overpowered the dragon, that primeval serpent which is the devil and Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. He hurled him into the Abyss and shut the entrance and sealed it over him, to make sure he would not lead the nations astray again until the thousand years had passed. At the end of that time he must be released, but only for a short while.
Then I saw thrones, where they took their seats, and on them was conferred the power to give judgement. I saw the souls of all who had been beheaded for having witnessed for Jesus and for having preached God’s word, and those who refused to worship the beast or his statue and would not accept the brand–mark on their foreheads or hands; they came to life, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over; this is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection; the second death has no power over them but they will be priests of God and of Christ and reign with him for a thousand years.
When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to lead astray all the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, and mobilise them for war, his armies being as many as the sands of the sea. They came swarming over the entire country and besieged the camp of the saints, which is the beloved City. But fire rained down on them from heaven and consumed them. Then the devil, who led them astray, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their torture will not come to an end, day or night, for ever and ever.
The Last Judgement
Then I saw a great white throne and the One who was sitting on it. In his presence, earth and sky vanished, leaving no trace. I saw the dead, great and small alike, standing in front of his throne while the books lay open. And another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, as their deeds deserved. The sea gave up all the dead who were in it; Death and Hades were emptied of the dead that were in them; and every one was judged as his deeds deserved. Then Death and Hades were hurled into the burning lake. This burning lake is the second death; and anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was hurled into the burning lake.

Message from Mary October 13, 1917
I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. (13)

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
...Because of the excitement caused by the apparitions, the civil authorities were so alarmed that they kidnapped the three young visionaries and put them in jail. The incarceration period included the day of August 13. Consequently, Our Lady did not appear to the children on this particular 13th.
The authorities, fearing reaction on the part of the people, quickly released the children. Mary appeared to them on August 19 near Valinhos:
She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. (15)

Message from 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.

perceived
                           
as blocks were indeed bridges to
                           
greater purity in the Movement and
                           
bridges to lead us into a deeper
                           
acceptance of His Movement
                           
in the Church.
                       
How could we have advanced
                           
thus far if in fact we did not
                           
suffer, pressing forward and
                           
being cut back as He formed us
                           
more and more into an instrument
                           
He intended to use for a great
                           
purpose.
                       
All we must want is His will, no matter
                           
how uncomfortable it may feel at
                           
times or we may not
                           
understand it at the time.
                       
His will for this Mission has been made
                           
clearer through the messages they help
                           
lead us more and more into this great 
                           
era of peace.
                       
This is for the world.
                       
This is the work of God.
                       
How can He work if big directions to
                           
contact people are not followed?
                           
Every connection has its purpose
                               
in His plan.
                           
Every detail He is tending to.
                           
Remember bridges to success.
                           
Remember the shouts of victory
                              
will be heard.
                           
He is the Chief Priest.
                           
He is the Victor.
                          
What is the priest to do? He must
                               
model His life after
                               
the Chief Priest –
                               
the Chief Shepherd of the Flock.
                   
The blocks we may have experienced were bridges
                       
for our own personal advancement
                       
to be able to be His instruments
                       
in this mission.
                   
If we look at every obstacle as an end –
  
                    
we end there!!
                   
If we look at every obstacle as a beginning –
  
                    
we begin there.
                   
Every runner must see the finish line in

If he falls and gets up and is filled with
                       
determination to win he may, in
                       
fact, finish the race first.

Parable of the talents
‘It is like a man about to go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one, each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out on his journey. The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. Now a long time afterwards, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made." His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master’s happiness." Next the man with the two talents came forward. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with two talents; here are two more that I have made." His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master’s happiness." Last came forward the man who had the single talent. "Sir," said he, "I had heard you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown and gathering where you had not scattered; so I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here it is; it was yours, you have it back." But his master answered him, "You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered? Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have got my money back with interest. So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough; but anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has. As for this good–for–nothing servant, throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."

A Note from the President of Shepherds of Christ:
If you are devoted to Our Lady's rosary, we need your help! A member of our ministry is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and he is helping to teach us how to grow our volunteer rosary makers. He estimates that we will need approximately $37,000 this year for beads alone! This translates into 22,339,500 rosary beads (yes, 22 million beads) assembled by volunteers into 378 thousand rosaries. The biggest users of our rosaries are the Catholic schools, who requested more than 100,000 rosaries last year.
Can you help us? I appeal to you for funds, whether large or small. We give because we love God, we love our Blessed Mother, and we love souls. We will accept gifts in many forms, besides cash or check donations, we can receive gifts directly in the form of stocks or property. These gifts can offer large tax advantages to the donor and increase the monetary value of the gift to us. Also if you can help assemble rosaries we need your help! If you can help us in anyway, please call or write us. God Bless!
I love you,
John Weickert
A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.
In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.
A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.
On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say:
May God heal through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.
Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.
May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
We believe with all our hearts.
After the Glory Be  pray the following petition.
May be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.
