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.

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.

(End of Mary's Message)


Messenger: One soul saying yes to helping us can affect so many souls on the face of the earth, one soul saying no can affect so many souls.

With the money we receive we reach so many people from the Virgin Mary building and with the materials, and we are reaching priests that affect so many souls.

Like ripples on a pond, one donation can affect so many people, and one person that doesn't give could have reached so many.

The school mailing can affect more than 7,000 schools, with all those children. It costs $4,000 to mail it. $4,000 isn't a lot of money, but it affects a lot of people when the mailing goes out, so many school children. 

Also, for a very long time we have been unable to reach the sisters with a special mailing because of lack of funds. Sisters know priests in foreign countries, they work in parishes, they pray, they affect elderly and children. The mailing is to be sent to about 11,000 sisters. That is a lot of sisters and a lot of good seeds planted. If the mailing doesn't go out, all those seeds aren't planted, it affects a lot of souls.

Jesus has told me about the nursing homes since 1995.

Father has decided to put a plea in the newsletter. After 6 years of sending the priestly newsletter to all those priests, now about 70,000 in about 90 countries, we must ask them for help. 70,000 priests touch a lot of souls with the Mass, and the Sacraments and in other ways. We have done the newsletter totally on donations. It may seem that about $25,000 postage for the last expanded newsletter was a lot of money, but think of touching that many souls with the great gifts that are given by Jesus in the newsletter going to 70,000 priests.

Do you want peace? We didn't paint Mary on the building, heaven did! The Father said it was by His hand. Our mission majorly is to help with the completion of the mission Our Lady began at Fatima. Do you not think that Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas appears in Florida? Are we bargaining with God, or testing Him? He gives a great wonder like Mary on the building and we can hardly come up with the rent so we can do what Mary said at Fatima 83 years ago. Even after we have suffered from the devastating effects of  World War II, many do not obey the message Mary gave. Dead bodies from the war you think, no a lot of dead souls, majorly our children being exposed to such sin and disrespect for God in the world today. We are suffering from spiritual warfare. We see Mary appear at Fatima and the dead bodies of World War II. Today we see Satan waging such a strong war to get souls for hell. Mary showed the children a vision of hell on July 13, 1917, at Fatima.

One donation can help us. One donation can affect so many souls.

Look at Mary as she appeared July 5, 2000. 



Messenger: This happened when I prayed the rosary as Mary instructed in Florida. It happened that night toward the end of the rosary.

We can put all this money into sports stadiums, and yet we have such a shortage of priests in our parishes. The priests bring us the Eucharist. Are our priorities straight?

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, comes to us through the hands of the priest and we aren't praying for them very much, nor for our Church nor our world. Jesus gives us these prayers to pray for the priests, the Church and the world, attaching great grace to them.

 

If you want to help the people and the Church and the world, give people a prayer manual with the imprimatur and pray the prayers yourself. What a gift to give, can't you see this? Jesus is talking here and He gives us these prayers. He gave them 6 years ago and we have tried and tried to deliver the message.

People just don't want to listen. Some think we are doing this for our own pride or something. We honestly pray much of the day ourselves, and have given our lives trying to get others to pray united to the Mass with consecrated hearts. We try to get people to pray in the morning offering because God is really talking to us. Do you believe? Look at Mary on the building. Look how the Movement has touched thousands and thousands, school children, adults, priests, elderly, prisoners, and families in six short years.

This is God's Movement, the proof is there, you are saying yes or no to Him and that yes or no affects so many souls. We are in dire need of funds.

Here is a plea from Father in the newsletter.


Excerpt from Shepherds of Christ Newsletter

Issue 4, 2000

CAN YOU HELP US?.

As you know, we distribute the Newsletter free of charge. We have been publishing the Newsletter for six years. Although the fine print on the last page of each Newsletter says that donations are always welcome, we have, to this date, only made one major appeal for donations.

Now we come to you again and ask for your financial assistance. It is considerably expensive to print the Newsletter and to mail it here in the U.S.A. and to other countries around the world. With our English and Spanish editions, we send the Newsletter to readers in about 90 countries. We soon hope to add a French edition.

With the help of God's grace, the Newsletter seems to be accomplishing much good. The numerous letters we receive from around the world regarding the Newsletter's helpfulness are one indication of this.

If you share with us our belief that the Newsletter is a very worthwhile ministry, we urgently ask you to seriously consider sending us a donation. We are always struggling to obtain the funds to continue publication of the Newsletter.

If you are financially able, we would be extremely grateful to receive your donation - whether it is small, large, or medium-sized! We thank all of you who have previously sent donations.

Some of you may know of possible benefactors who would be interested in helping a worthy cause. And we firmly believe that a ministry which offers an aid for spiritual growth to priests especially, but to others also, is a most worthy endeavor.

For your convenience, we have enclosed a self-addressed donation envelope.

Very importantly, we also ask for your prayers that we may obtain the funds necessary to continue publication of the Newsletter and that the Newsletter will be spiritually beneficial to its readers. We hope to continue to publish it four to six times a year. The number of issues will depend upon various factors. Thank you very much for your attention to our urgent plea.


Messenger: The world has changed because of the newsletter and the prayers and all the revelations. Jesus says it has changed.

Please help us, help the Lady that appears on the building reach her children. She is Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas.

August 27, 2000 - Second Message

Mary speaks: My dear, dear children help me. Your Father has given this building to the earth. All your money! And you can't help me do what I need to - to reach men.

One donation can affect millions and millions of souls on the earth. 

This is my Son's Movement to help to bring about the Reign of His Sacred Heart.

I love you, Mary.


Excerpt from August 23, 2000, Daily Message

Messenger: The seeds we plant live in the hearts of those we touch.

Sing the Song - Come With Me Into the Fields.

(End of excerpt from August 23, 2000, Daily Message)


August 27, 2000 - Third Message

Mary speaks: The days of summer are few.

Children have returned to school.

You get up day after day and watch television and work. My children, I cry to you to help me.

Soon the green grass turns gold.

Soon the flowers die.

Soon the winter sets in and for some spring will not come.

In the dead of winter, Jesus called the little ones from their places on this earth.

Some were ready.

Some never got oil for their lamps.

And the angel of death called.

And the winter storm was just too fierce to withstand with the winds that blew and blew, and they died a bitter death.

Do you see the message of the seasons?

Not one man has returned from death to take his gold with him, but the seeds planted in the hearts last.


Excerpt from August 24, 2000, Daily Message


Mary speaks: I love all my children so much, even when they do not know me or have forgotten me.

I CRY TO YOU TO HELP ME REACH THEM.

Please reach the school children with the rosary.

Rosaries are available for the schools.

Be a rosary-maker and teach the school children to make rosaries and to pray.

Say to the children. "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love"

Teach children to say this to one another as a greeting.

I love you, I am Mary

QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE.

PRAY FOR PERRY.

Excerpt from August 23, 2000, Daily Message

Message given August 23, 1993

On His Passion

Jesus speaks: My dear child,
I was condemned to death, death on a cross. They gave Me a big cross and made Me carry it. They stood around and glared at Me. It weighed on My shoulder and I pulled at it until it finally moved. Every step was almost impossible as I dragged it, weighing so heavily on My shoulders.

My shoulder felt as if the bones inside would crack and the cross would fall through to the ground. I couldn’t drag it any more. I tried, I fell. I fell and its weight fell on Me. A guard hit Me with something sharp. It really hurt because he wanted Me to move, and fast! People were watching -- on with the show! How dare I fall in the middle of the show! He hit Me again and the blow really stung Me. I got up because it hurt so badly. I tried to walk on.

My Mother was in the crowd. She looked at Me and her face looked red and hurt. Tears rolled down her cheeks like rain and as her eyes met Mine, I was hurt so by her sorrow! She was always by My side, silent and loving. She was My mother of love! She is always there next to you when you suffer.

I fell again and he (the guard) really hit Me. It (the cross) was so heavy that he and I together could barely move it. It seemed as I walked, heavier with the sins of the world heaped on it. My hands were bleeding. Blood ran from the wounds of My thorns and My head throbbed, seeming to make the wounds in My head bleed even more. Some of the Blood was dried, some of it running all over My Body. I had so many cuts and bruises -- and people watched and laughed!

I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, and they laughed and mimicked Me! Oh, such hardened hearts! How vile can men’s heart become? The devil’s grip is paralyzing and crippling.

The walk was so long up a hill and over rocks -- the cross had to be lifted over the rocks. My Body was bleeding so badly! My heart was pounding. I knew that the salvation of all men depended on My love. Therefore, I went through such agony.

I thought of My intense love for you -- that many would go to heaven because of My suffering -- and I continued to the top of the hill. At the top they laid Me on the cross and with a big hammer nailed My hands to it. It was the worst (suffering) yet. My hands were nailed with big nails and the big hammer. Oh, it was unbelievable! Then, as if that weren’t enough, with a big nail they nailed through both feet.

Then they lifted the cross and banged it into (a hole in) the ground. My shoulders ached from how I hung. My head bobbed and My neck ached and they laughed and said, "Now save Yourself." I hurt so much! I suffered this way for hours -- which seemed like forever -- and they glared at Me and laughed! My Mother watched in such agony.

For love of you, to My death I gave you My Body. My child, I shed My Blood and gave you My life that you might be with Me forever in heaven -- not for a day, a month or a year, but forever with Me in heaven.

I am the true Bread come down from heaven. He who eats My Flesh will have life forever. For the drink I give you is My Blood and food you eat is My Body. Who would lay down his life for a friend? I did, for you. I love you this much, child. Forget about those who reject you. You have My life that I gave you and I give you life eternal.

I am the One true God. I am the Light of life. He who abides in Me will have life eternal, for the drink I give is My Blood and the food I give is My Body. Drink and eat and have everlasting life.

My child, that is all you need to know. Love one another and be good that you may enter into My kingdom.

I Will Sustain You

My child, let go of it all. You are making it hard on yourself. You need not worry for I will sustain you. Do you think I write all these letters and I will leave you in the lurch? Your strength is coming from this trial.

You do not need to worry ever. I am by your side. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I come that you will have life. Such intimacy you will have with Me!

I am God. I will sustain you. You walk the way to Calvary with Me. My load is made lighter.
