July 22, 2000 - Feast of Mary Magdalene


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.



Songs 3: 1-4

On my bed at night I sought
the man who is my sweetheart:
I sought but could not find him!
So I shall get up and go through the city;
in the streets and in the squares, 
I shall seek my sweetheart. 
I sought but could not find him! 

I came upon the watchmen— 
those who go on their rounds in the city: 
‘Have you seen my sweetheart?’ 

Barely had I passed them 
when I found my sweetheart.


Messenger: Envision a glorious beautiful day with the sun much brighter than that of any day you have ever seen. There is a clearness in that brightness, for you see light so bright, yet clearly you see in that glistening light an empty tomb.

Oh Savior - YOU ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

Mary speaks:  My children who are choosing a life of sin are little ones on the edge of death. They are falling into sin from the evils of the world.

Will YOU PRAY FOR THEM?

Oh, my priests and sisters, ministers of my Son's Church - offer your lives as a sacrifice for souls. 



Mary speaks: Please tell the people to offer their day to God. Please, my priests, pass out these cards, tell the people that their lives given as a sacrifice can bring down great grace on the world. 



Prayer from July 21, 2000, Daily Message

Jesus speaks: I want you to say all day:

"Jesus loves me, He is with me, He died for Me.

Jesus loves me, He is with me, He died for me. 

My Father loves me so much. I am His little child. 

The Holy Spirit will fill me with the fire of God's 
love if I ask Him. The Holy Spirit is with me.

Mary is my Mother. She loves me and is with me now."

(End of prayer)



Mary speaks: OH, MY PRIESTS AND Religious - spread the Morning Offering. Please, I beg you.

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.


July 22, 2000 - For the Junior Shepherds of Christ

Mary speaks: My dear little children,

You are my little children. I am your Mother. I always see you as my children and I love you so much. 80 year old men and women are still my children. I am your spiritual Mother, you will always be my children. It is a great honor from God that He made me your Mother. I love you more than any mother on earth. I am real and I love you. I will help you mother my children by spreading my Son Jesus' love to them.

I come to ask you this, to pray this prayer daily and to carry this little card with you.



Mary speaks: Also carry the card, "I give my Heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."

Always give these cards out at Junior Shepherds of Christ meetings.

Tell all youth to say them daily.

I want you to offer up all the little things you do. My children, it can help the earth.

When you try to do as Jesus wants with your life, being good children of God the Father, you can offer everything you do to God and it will help the world.

Oh my youth, my young adults, you are always children of God the Father. He loves you so much.

When souls give their lives as a sacrifice in union with the Mass and consecrate their hearts, so much grace is released.

The more grace released for souls, the more they will want to do what is right.

Oh my children, your God is so good, He is so powerful, He is so loving.

Just offer up the little things you do by saying this prayer.

All you have to do is say the two little cards.


        


For Elderly and All Others

Mary speaks: I want you to reach the nursing homes as my Son has requested.

There are two books that can be used easily by the elderly that lay flat on their laps.

They can be printed from the PDF files for your mother or father and you can give them a great gift.

The cover should be a plastic sheet, the cover of Jesus in color. The binding should be a spiral type, preferably white in color that looks beautiful and will allow them to lay flat on their laps.

They should be instructed to open to any place and read my words or the words of my Son.

You must tell them how important their lives are.

Read yesterday's message July 21, 2000.

Circulate the cards to them.


        


Mary speaks: The books for the nursing homes will be available from Shepherds of Christ if it is impossible to get them from the Internet. 

They are a treasure for the elderly.

Some messages are available on tapes.

I desire the rosaries for elderly to be put on tapes - called Rosaries for Elderly.

I ask that the message given yesterday July 21, 2000, be circulated to all, also that today's message for children be circulated to youth with the cards designated.

Included at the end of this message is a message from the book for elderly.

I request one short message given March 31, 1995.

I request the message November 18, page 37-44, nursing home message book be included.

This message is not just for nursing homes but for all.

I further wish the excerpt from the message July 20, 2000, about the Novena to St. Ignatius Loyola be printed here.


Excerpt from July 21, 2000, Daily Message

Messenger: In a few days on July 31, it will be the wonderful feast of our beloved St. Ignatius Loyola. The nine day period before begins July 23. Let's all join together and ask St. Ignatius to intercede to God to grant grace that the Jesuits will help us more and more in this mission. That the Jesuits will help us spreading the priestly newsletter and the consecration and rosary to the earth and all that is needed to help spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart as Jesus desires. We will pray in this 9 day period for ourselves and our calling to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart. We will pray for the Jesuits, whom we love, through the intercession of St. Ignatius.

I love St. Ignatius so much. Every July 31,  I have received the most wonderful graces on this Feast at Mass that day. I feel really close to St. Francis Xavier, too. I think we should pray through his powerful intercession and that of St. Claude La Columbiere and St. Margaret Mary.

Let's make this nine day novena praying through their powerful intercession.

(End of excerpt)


Mary speaks: Tomorrow begins this novena.

Please pray as is instructed in the message for this special novena.

July 31, 2000 is the feast of St. Ignatius Loyola.


Excerpt from Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound Book

March 31, 1995

Jesus speaks:

I am with you, you do not see Me, but I am forever there and I am guarding you. Second-by-second, moment-by-moment hear a gentle voice within your breast say, "I love you, I love you, I love you." I am whispering in the recesses of your heart as you breathe and as your heart beats. I am in you, deeply embedded in your heart. I want you to talk to Me all day. As you act, I act in you. I am living as one with you. You are never alone. Turn to Me at every moment and experience Me present within you. You are My beloved ones.

You are so important to Me, My little ones. Your lives offered up as a prayer to My Father will help this hurting world. Offer all your actions to Him, all through the day. Every thing you do, offer it as a prayer for this hurting world. I ask you to pray for the priests. One priest can affect so many hurting souls. I am Jesus, My beloved, your life is so important to Me. Please offer up your days as a constant prayer for this world. I ask you, My beloved ones, from My most Sacred Heart, I ask you to pray fervently for the priests and Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am renewing My world and My Church through this Movement.

You are such a big part of this renewal for the Church and the world. Your days offered as prayers will help so many hurting souls. I am giving to you abundant graces as members of My Shepherds of Christ Movement. I shower these graces on the members of this Movement.

My dear, sweet ones, you do not know the glory that awaits you in heaven.

I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock and I ask you to pray for the lambs that have gone astray. Pray for your priests. I will lead them back to My burning Heart. Thank you. I love you with the deepest love. You are precious to Me.

Excerpt from Messages for the Elderly, Ill, and Homebound Book

November 18, 1999

Jesus speaks:

The years go by with such swiftness and there is a tenderness in your heart from remembering the beauty of each season. I ask you to envision a Christmas tree, a snow-covered tree as it bends low from the weight of the snow on its branches. See some children at play on a snow-covered bank. See the same children at the close of a sunny autumn day on that same hill, covering themselves with brightly colored leaves. One way one day, another way the next day. One season yielding to the next season. You see a beautiful body of water, a crystal lake adorned with spring trees. You see this same place with the autumn that changes the appearance with awesome beauty and the same place with the snow cropped up around the edge of the lake and the heavy branches of the trees bowing low from the weight of the snow, surrounding the lake with beauty and grace.

You see a wooded land covered with spring trees of glorious beauty, you see the fall days of beauteous color, you see the snow-capped trees with a soft white lustrous touch.

And My children, you do not control such things, it is the hand of the Creator that paints the field with a mystical brush of love.

I have given to My messenger the vision of the beauty of a celestial aura that has covered My sanctuary at certain times.

I give to you this vision. Picture the lights of heaven as a celestial veil of little gold dust, as snowflakes so close together and a veil of dense little mystical snowflakes covering the sanctuary where the Lord is in the Eucharist exposed or at the Consecration of the Mass.

See the wind blow and in the spring the petal flowers are blowing as little flakes of snow in a wooded part of the land.

See the little white snowflakes come down creating this aura of mystical beauty.

See the little leaves from Aspen trees blowing down from above as little snowflakes to grace the beautiful land.

Oh My children, I show you the lights of heaven, I describe here the aura which appeared in two of the great visions I gave to My messenger. The last of the three visions in April 1996, and the vision of August 13, 1996, before the rosary at Tom’s farm.


Excerpt from September 27, 1999 Daily Message

April 9, 1996

Messenger: After Communion I had this immense presence of God. I knew a vision was coming. My vision gets a certain way. The distinct lines I see before me begin to disappear and are smudged with light.

Then I saw again the celestial lights of heaven. It was as though light was spilled from heaven and landed on the flowers and the corners of everything. The Eucharist took on an immense warmth and I knew God truly present in this room.

I saw with eyes unveiled in my soul and in the room. The room had a celestial aura, it no longer looked defined and clear. It was bathed in a gentle, celestial film and all I saw I wanted to tell to those around me. But I was so caught in His embrace that my mouth did not want to move.

Grace is being spilled on the earth. I have seen this celestial light come upon the altar of sacrifice, the monstrance and the cross. The vision on March 26 (1996) I will never forget as long as I live. The light is so thick and so intense as if the heavens open in these cracks of light and there is a depth far beyond that which any mind can envision.

The sky opened up and it rained down its grace. It opens when hearts are one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

(end of March 26, 1996 description)


Excerpt from August 12, 1999 Daily Message

The next morning of the 13th of August Mary appeared again in the same place for several hours in the same exact setting in that white light in the darkened Sorrowful Mother Chapel in the corner. In the late afternoon of the 13th, I would go to the Sorrowful Mother Chapel again.

The Eucharist was exposed and the whole front of the chapel was covered with a celestial aura and she appeared again. This time the light and the aura were a golden light, almost like a gold glistening veil across the whole front of the chapel in front of the exposed Eucharist and before Mary. I did not want to leave there. I drove to the rosary at Tom’s farm...


Jesus speaks:

I show you a mystical veil of light, looking as little minute golden snowflakes, an aura of mystery, a beauty beyond words, a veil to cover the hard cold reality of a hardened world so straight and hard, almost seemingly unable to bend or surrender. The hard must bend to the soft, the darkness must give way to the light. On that day, you arose with your busy schedule and you were stopped by the white sparkling veil of a fallen snow that covered the earth a foot deep, and you saw the beauty of it as it came down, so gentle and sweet. Your eyes were awed by its beauty, your body stiff when, because of an act of the Creator, you could not carry out your busy schedule.

And if it were up to you, you may want to run today and milk the cow, operate the fax, talk of the productivity to the earth, and yet, because of some limitations now, you are confined to your bed.

The dawning of a new day is that of surrender to the will of God. It can be the freshly fallen snow that has stopped you. It can be cancer that is killing you and has taken over your body, any illness or your old age. You might be confined to bed, or a chair, or you just can’t do much physically. Whatever it is, it is the dawning of a new day. What good would it do for the woman who rises and finds a snow bank surrounding her house to curse the day? It is the act of the Creator’s hand you say, so He allowed it, so surrender. Do what He wills. "The very hairs of your head are numbered."

You must surrender when your body is filled with cancer.

You can help so many souls and help yourselves to gain a greater reward in heaven. Is it better to surrender to those things you cannot control and stay connected to God than to become bitter? Do not fight the Father’s plan. Why do you not see My hand in your suffering to slow you down sometimes?

It isn’t your "gadgets" that are of the greatest importance, it is that you surrender to the will of God. It isn’t that your life was so important before when you were building buildings, raising your children, making millions, whatever it was you did before, and now your life is not as important.

I lived a quiet life for 30 years.

Today you are on the dawning of eternity. Every moment is so important to Me. Your life lived as the Father wills can help so many souls.

Every moment your life is so important to the salvation of your soul and others.

God is with you in the cross you are carrying. Identify with Me. Offer it up for souls. Every moment is so important to Me. Should you rage at the snow fall outside the tent and would it do you any good?

The soft touch of the Creator surrounds you, the very hairs of your head as numbered. Your life today is important as were other moments of your life.

You live to help yourself get to heaven and see My face and have the deepest union with Me. You live to help save souls, to love your brothers and pray for them. I laid down My life for their souls. I ask you to identify with Me. You are My hands, My feet, My Heart. Today you must live your life as it is, living within your human limitations. I ask you to come to Me, that I may use you to help the souls of the earth. I give you life, I can take it away.

Always, My concern is to lead you to the deepest union with Me and for you to help save souls.

Oh My soul, I love you so tenderly and so much.

I love you, My dear chosen one. I love you, I love you, I love you.

I am Jesus, Savior of the World.

I died for My precious souls, will you not suffer for Me?

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.

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.
