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: By not having money He has tested our faith and commitment as Shepherds of Him. (Shepherds of Christ).
This is how He is. Look how He tested Abraham's faith with his son Isaac. Abraham said yes to taking him to the altar and he was willing to offer him in sacrifice. Then God promised him abundant blessings and said his descendents would be as countless as the stars of the sky.
This is God's way.
He tested Moses. Moses had to stand up against all those people. But it was His faith that led them to freedom. God divided the Red Sea.
We are up against so many people that do not believe us. He tests our faith with the money. We grow deeper and deeper in our commitment. We live for Him. We grow in holiness. Dealing with God is not like an exchange of currency. We serve Him, we please Him, He answers us the way that will lead us to greater holiness, not worldly wealth. His ways are perfect in dealing with His children.
God the Father gave His Son as a sacrifice for the sins of men.
Genesis 22:1-2, 9-13, 15-18
It happened some time later that God put Abraham to the test. 'Abraham, Abraham!' he called. "Here I am,' he replied. God said, 'Take your son, your only son, your beloved Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, where you are to offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I shall point out to you.'
When they arrived at the place which God had indicated to him, Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood. Then he bound his son and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.
But the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven. 'Abraham, Abraham!' he said. 'Here I am, ' he replied. 'Do not raise your hand against the boy,' the angel said. 'Do not harm him, for now I know you fear God. You have not refused me your own beloved son.' Then looking up, Abraham saw a ram caught by its horns in a bush. Abraham took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
The angel of Yahweh called Abraham a second time from heaven. I swear by my own self, Yahweh declares, that because you have done this, because you have not refused me your own beloved son, I will shower blessings on you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will gain possession of the gates of their enemies. All nations on earth will bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed my command.'
Jesus speaks: I lead you to be instrumental in helping renew the Church and the world - this is no little task. YOU MUST HAVE FAITH AND HOLINESS.
July 13, 2000 - Second Message
Messenger: We are a Movement of brides. Brides of Christ!! Brides go through tough times in marriages. Learning to love, to live, to go through the trials of life is difficult.
Jesus showed us what He had to do being the Son of God. He obeyed His Father. He went through the bitter passion and death.
Jesus speaks: Great grace is granted for enduring suffering.
Problems must be discussed.
Many endless hours are spent in complaining.
Handling a problem and complaining are two different things.
Enduring suffering and frustration helps to bring down great grace, but when you are with intimate others you may say - "I feel tired today." to let the other know how you are feeling inside. Help each other with love and growing in happiness.
Put message of Mary from yesterday July 12, 2000.
Excerpt from July 12, 2000 daily message
Mary speaks: My dear little children,
I am your Mother Mary, do not lose heart, come to me. I am with you in all your trials. Today I speak of joy, for it is joy I want in your heart. I want you to be joyful, for you bring great joy to the earth when you worship your God in the Blessed Sacrament from His place in China, Indiana. This is His Eucharistic Center, do not let Satan get you bowed down, take all your troubles to Jesus and lay them beneath the foot of the altar, at the foot of my Son Jesus. He is God, you serve Him and love Him and He hears your prayers. He allows you to suffer for the sinners of the world. He allows you to suffer to draw you closer to Him, He allows you to receive special grace there. These days, July 12 - 14, please Him greatly. If you cannot go there, unite with all their prayers in honoring God. This would please Him. Oh, my little children, focus on all the good you have accomplished and rely on Him. How you pray these next few days can make a great difference. Faith, my little ones. Your God is with you. He is almighty, pray with a humble heart and give Him the greatest honor. Praise Him, go to Him as His little child. Say, "Father, in the name of your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of my Mother Mary, and the intercession of all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, hear the cry of your little child, heal me and all the souls of this earth and help us, Father, regarding all our needs to do the work your Son Jesus and our Mother Mary have asked us to do. Father, as your little child I beg you to hear me. I unite this humble prayer to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and I pray in Him, my beloved Spouse and Bridegroom. I love you so much."
My children, I am your Mother Mary and I am with you NOW.

A MESSAGE FROM JESUS
Jesus speaks: I am giving to you the Holy Spirit in response to your plea to lead you on your way to carry forth the plan of the Father to go into the world and make disciples of all nations.
It is in realizing the seriousness of this mission that it will be carried out. Do not underestimate the power of these writings and rosary meditations given to you.
Great gifts are given to you and much will be expected. I will make the connections necessary to go forward. You are being guarded constantly.
Messenger: If I would see Jesus and Mary this day they would look like ordinary people.
I see Mary wiping her hands on her apron and hugging Jesus as He goes off to be baptized. Such intimacy with her Son.
Jesus speaks: People look at you and see your ordinariness and know you have a family, a house and a car. They do not want to believe that someone receiving messages from God would look like you. I looked like a normal human, My Mother looked like another human. I came to show you the way. I am a Divine Person with two Natures, Divine and Human. My Mother looked like you. You must model yourselves after us.
To make God a person in the sky is to miss the great gifts I am giving to you. I am ever present and with you this day. I walked the earth to be a bridge between Divinity and Humanity. I gave My life that you would be saved.
Messenger: Jesus is with us this day. He is not so far off that we cannot talk to Him. He remains with us and attentive to all our needs, every moment He is with us.
Excerpt from The Mass Book
September 4, 1995
Messenger: Jesus is with us this day. He is not so far off that we cannot talk to Him. He remains with us and attentive to all our needs, every moment - He is with us!
Jesus does not want us to worry or be anxious but to become close to Him and put our trust in Him.
I am touched with such emotion reading the Scriptures for to know Him is to know my Father.
He has taught me so much because He loves me so much.
I love my Father so much. It is He Who has allowed me to get so close to Jesus and revealed such things to me through the Holy Spirit.
I love God with the deepest love. I love my Father so. Quietly, He cares and loves me, and I am so blind. I do not see the constancy of His love. I do not see Him giving me life. The Spirit remains in me, giving me such burning love of God, melting me, molding me more and more into the image of Jesus, and I do not see the workings of God in my life. I am so ungrateful!
He is truly here within me and I am so unworthy and in need of much reform, but He loves me anyway and continues to give me great graces of His love.
Excerpt from The Mass Book
A C
ONFESSIONI am so disheartened with myself, for I see my faults are many, and I fall so many times into sin.
I long to love You and adore You, and I am so weak in my ways.
So easily I fall into little traps set by Satan, so easily I fall. So easily I wander and I long and thirst to be ever closer!
I see Your greatness. I love You more and more. I am in awe of Your presence. The more I know and love You, the more I am sorry for my wrong doings, my little offenses against You, my Beloved.
So unworthy I am of Your love and goodness.
This is a letter from me to You, my sweet Jesus, my Beloved, my precious One.
I had the greatest gift, the Holy Eucharist, and I took it for granted. I did not thank You enough. I did not adore You enough. I did not worship You enough.
I love You with the deepest love, my God, my All.
You are here now before me, exposed, and my heart is filled with awe and reverence, for You are truly God, and I am Your servant, Your beloved servant.
I love You. I love You. I love You.
Mary, my Mother, lead me into greater intimacy with my beloved Jesus. I ask your intercession for this, my fervent prayer. My plea is, oh beloved Jesus, to give to me whatever I need to be closer to Thee.
Messenger: I see as never before the specks in my eyes, I want to be humble and live only to love my God.
I blow the trumpet. He calls us to persecution. Persecution leads us to humility.
How much I have to learn is overwhelming. I live to have only greater union with Him and love Him more.
I am taunted, I am tested. The devil tells me I am disobedient and not good.
I am His servant. I love Him with my whole heart. I see before me my faults, my pride, my whole intent being to do His will with love, to spread His love to this world.
I see the great gift I am given and I thank Him. I must comply to the will of the Father, read my own messages and do what He is saying to spread these messages and songs to the whole world.
On this same day I did a rosary around 6:30 at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. This is from the daily message September 5, 1999.
Excerpt from September 5, 1999 daily message
Messenger: On September 5, 1995, I did a rosary before the Sorrowful Mother statue at a Shepherds of Christ meeting there (at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center). I was on retreat and felt immensely connected to God. My daughter video taped it.
On the Feast of the Sorrowful Mother, I was told to watch the video. A mist went over Mary. An audio tape is available concerning this information and a video tape of the mist. The audio tape is October 1, 1995, Love Songs and Messages. The video is A Mist Around Mary.
I sang, I Love You Jesus. I talked about the Trinity. The mist began in the lower right corner and went over Mary and ended there with I Love You Jesus.
I wish a copy of the words of the rosary be printed here while the mist was covering Mary. They are very important to Mary and our Lord.
September 5, 1995
Song: Oh burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me.
- Messenger: Be with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, kneel beside Him, see the rocks, see His brown hair and His beautiful face. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Be there and feel His presence and as you feel His presence, realize the presence of the Almighty God within your hearts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. At this moment you are surrounded by Their divine love and your heart is burning within you as you kneel beside the Almighty God.
- We do not realize how close He truly is to us, that He wants to be one with us, through Him, with Him, and in Him, that He calls us to this union, to this oneness with Him. As we meditate on the mysteries of this rosary, let us unite in this oneness with the Almighty God Who cries from every tabernacle in this world - cries out deep cries of His burning love and they fall on deaf ears - Who comes to us and gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist and is ignored and forgotten and treated with such indifference.
- Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who waits in all the tabernacles of the world in the Sacrament of greatest love, waiting a prisoner for His beloved souls to come and to be with Him. As present as the day that He knelt in the garden, in His Divinity and His Humanity, He waits in the tabernacle and we kneel before Him in front of the tabernacle, as we imagine that we knelt next to Him in the garden. This is the love that the Almighty God has for us. He remains with us this day and is forgotten and ignored. He calls out to His beloved souls, "Come to Me, you are blind and you are deaf, you do not know the great gifts that you are given. I am waiting and waiting for you to come. Come to Me, My beloved souls, I long and thirst to unite in deepest union with you."
We search this barren desert for things to fill our starved souls, when nothing on the face of the earth will fill the starved soul but the love of God and He is waiting and longing and thirsting for us to come and to be with Him.
Oh, beloved Jesus, truly present in the tabernacle, give us the grace to realize this great gift we are given, to cherish every single moment that we are in the presence of the Almighty God, to never take this for granted, to thank You endlessly for the great gift You have given to us, the gift of Yourself, that You are truly present, the gift that You give us in the Holy Eucharist, and Your Heart was in such anguish in the garden, your Heart of deepest love for all the souls that would treat You with such indifference and negligence. Your Heart of burning love is so often ignored and forgotten. My precious One, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for all that you suffered in the garden for Your beloved souls who have forgotten You.
Song: Oh burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me.

Excerpt from The Mass Book
D
O WE SEE THE HEARTS?Written at 9:15 a.m., in the cemetery:
Much of the world is cold and callous. To show emotion is looked on scornfully or as if something is wrong. Do not let your tears fall, my beloved world, stop the flow - this is the message of the world. How can I know Him as I do and not be moved to such emotion? He comes to us as the Sacred Heart; Mary comes as the Immaculate Heart. Love includes emotion, burning emotion. I am wrapped in deep sufferings to see this blind world, and to know how much He loves all. I have such sorrow in my heart when Jesus and Mary allow me to suffer to some degree the pains They suffered. These emotions are indescribable in words. Tears cannot express the sorrow inside.
If we cry today, everyone says, "What is wrong, stop it!"
Christ Himself wept over Jerusalem. He went off to pray alone constantly. Did He cry? Did He express the deep emotion within? His Heart is burning with such love for man that He came into this world and took the nature of a man, that He died a brutal death on the cross that we would have life!
He comes as the Sacred Heart. His body was covered with blood and wounds. His head was pierced with thorns. His hands and feet were pierced with nails. His Heart was pierced with a lance. We do not see, we are numb. Mary is shown with the swords in her heart. How can we look at Them with wounds in Their Hearts, the cross above His Heart, the crown of thorns around Their Hearts and not be moved to tears!
Many men are cold and callous in their hearts. Many Masses are celebrated that lack emotion. Many people go to Mass and go through the motions.
The Mass is alive. Jesus is alive. He is here. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present in the Mass!
At the Consecration of the Mass, hear His beloved Mother cry for her little lost children of the world. See her and hear her calling out with a sword in her heart.
…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."To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation of 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."22 23I stand under the 12th Station at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church and experience a double pain for her - a pain deep in her heart to see her beloved Son hanging before her on the cross, the child of her womb, and the pain of her beloved children going to hell this day despite His suffering and death.
With pleading hands she raises them to us in the Sorrowful Mother statue, pleading and begging us to wake up before it is too late.
I experienced her suffering at different times all through the Passion - her seven sorrows. These sufferings were great joy for me to know more deeply the message I want to deliver to this world.
It is the message of the burning love of her Son, Jesus Christ!
We see Them with wounded Hearts. We see the Sacred Heart with Thorns. We see His Sacred Heart with the cross above His Heart. Our love for Them is cold.
Their love is the love that both Mary and Jesus tell us about in the Stations and the Sorrowful Mysteries. I feel these emotions. I know the love. I feel the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all through the Mass. I feel the pain when I go before the tabernacle. Jesus wants our love. I was wrapped in such acute pain on Ascension Thursday. He is alive today.
I know the love. I feel the pain. I cry at the joy. I cry at the sorrow. The love He has is the love we experience when we stand beneath the cross with Mary, side by side with her under the cross and watch our best Friend as He dies for us. He is covered with blood.
We are numb. We are cold. We are contained. We are proper. We are in our heads and not in our hearts. He calls for us to love Him with our whole hearts, our whole soul, and our whole being. Our hearts are cold, some hearts are hearts of stone. Look at the Immaculate Heart and the Sacred Heart. They have Hearts that beat and burn with deepest love, hands on each side of His Heart. They show Their Hearts. Mary's heart has a sword in it. His Heart is pierced. We still hold on to our non-emotional love of Jesus!
The Apostles converted many, for their hearts burned with deepest love for Jesus. They were not afraid to preach the Gospel. They were locked in prison and came forth singing. They knew He was alive. Their actions were determined by Him. They did not ask men what they should do.
My being cries out. My insides are deeply ingrained with His burning love. His love is not to talk about in a monotone voice. It is to be lived in such oneness with Him that my insides cry out, my being proclaims this love. I want to "dig down" so deep in myself and cry out, "He is alive!"
Many hearts of men are cold. I envision His Heart, a furnace of deep, white and yellow, burning love.
I wish I could write all I have felt. Jesus gives Himself in the Mass. We hear, "This is My Body. This is My Blood."
He gives us Himself. He is truly present in the Eucharist, the same Jesus that walked the earth, the same Jesus that carried His cross and died for us. What more do they want? He is alive, He is alive, He is alive.
I am wrapped in such intense pain with His pain before the tabernacle and her pain during the Passion. I have experienced so much of these emotions that They experienced during the Passion. He shows us the Hearts, the swords, the wounds, the nails, the thorns, the blood - He shows us this day but we don't get it!
Many men's hearts are cold. We proceed the same way about our relationship with Him - constricted and cold. Listen to the words of this song. It moves the heart. "I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you, I come to you this day." Analyze the words. Each word is filled with His deep, burning love. It is so hard to express the real message in words, the message of the deep oneness He wants with us.
Oneness is not words exchanged, visions seen, Scriptures read, rosaries prayed, Masses attended - oneness is being so united to Him, to be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. As we partake in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as we love Their lives in the rosary, as we live the words in the Scriptures, the Living Word of God, there is a oneness in our every breath as our heart burns for love of Him and He burns for love of us. As we unite in oneness in Mary's heart and we love the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, through her heart, as we become one in Their Hearts, we are one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. We become one in the Holy sacrifice of His precious Son to the Father, in the Holy Spirit. We live in His will in loving surrender, dying to ourselves, and living in Them.
I live through Him, with Him, and in Him. It is no longer I who live, but He Who lives in me. I become one in Their Hearts. I unite in such oneness with God and all other men.
See Mary with a parade of faces - joyful and sorrowful, old and young. We unite with Christ in His life, His young life to His Ascension into heaven. We live Their lives in our lives, Their sorrows, Their joys, as we live the Gospel message in our lives. Jesus has died. He is risen, and He will come again!
Messenger: From the actual journal of my notebook September 6, 1995.
I have heard Him call out "This is My Body...", "This is My Blood", tell them Rita, "I give Myself to them." "I am no less present in the Eucharist than the day I carried My cross." "I died for them, what more do they want." "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive."
He says men's hearts are cold.
He writes the songs that move the hearts.
I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior, I am your God, I died for you I come to you this day.
Messenger: Mary appeared to me all last summer in the Sorrowful Mother statue in a parade of faces, joyful and sorrowful, old and young.
Jesus speaks: Tell them to read the message March 13, 1994 second Blue Book.
This is the mighty medicine for the world, My burning on FIRE LOVE.
Messenger: Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and messages from God's Blue Book will help our lives live in their lives.

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.
