A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.

Messenger: Jesus asks the following be put on the Internet.

This message was received live from China, Indiana, July 13, 2000.

Jesus speaks: Please pray for all Shepherds of Christ intentions.

There is a meeting in China, Indiana, August 12 - August 14, 2000, a mini retreat. A special rosary is given at 12:00 noon China time August 13. A big body of people gather to pray from 12:00 - 5:00 August 13.

Excerpt from July 13, 2000 Rosary

Jesus speaks: I ask you to come to Me. For you know that the most important thing is that you love Me. It is love that I want from you. And so you can become so caught up in the work and the other things. And you can forget the love with one another, and the love and the time for Me. Or you can be so rushed, saying rosary after rosary after rosary and not really being with Me when you pray. I want you to be with Me when you pray, to meditate on the mystery.

I am with you always. And I am grateful for all that you have accomplished in such a short time. I have outpoured My grace to you and to this earth. And you must continue to pray and to not lose hope, and to have faith. For it is faith that I want, My children. Faith, faith, faith. For how will you show your deep faith if you are not tested? I am testing you to see what you are made out of, to see if you truly love one another. I want you to love. To love, to love, to love, to love, to be as a family the Father intended from the beginning.

I give to men a free will. And they respond as they desire. And yet in the end the Lord of Justice will try them all. And they will be held accountable for their deeds here below. For it is fruit that I want for the Kingdom. And I have put you in the vineyard. And what I see are scraggly little vines and the fruit is dried up, some has fallen to the ground, some is rotten as it hangs on the vine. And yet I see you, My fruitful one. The one that thrives on My grace and eats the food I give to you, when I give you My Body to eat. And you drink the Blood, and it is the Blood of the Son of Man, the Son of God, to refresh you and to give you greater life.

My child, My child, My child, you do not yet understand the gift in the Eucharist. For the rest of the world must know, and so many are so shy that they hide this great Light under the bushel basket. And I speak clearly in My Blue Books and tell the world of the gift that I have given. Do not be ashamed to give one My Blue Book messages. For I tell them of this gift.

Let your tongues be loosed. Stand from the roof. Shout from the highest tower that God is God Almighty, Lord of heaven and earth, and He gives Himself to you in His Divinity and Humanity in the Holy Eucharist.

I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will not thirst.

I am the Son of God, the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, your Savior, the Savior of the World.

Song: A Song from Jesus

Messenger: And the Lady calls out: "My children, my children, help me to reach the little children of this world."

Jesus speaks: I am Jesus, your Savior. I have come to you today in a special way and outpoured My grace. And it is in your prayer and your constancy, your consistency, your love for one another, your faith that I will reward you more fully. But you must reach out to others, for they do not respond to the Lady that appears on the glass in Florida. They are blind and they do not see. And they do not hear the words that I speak to you. But My grace is being outpoured for all the prayers that you pray, My holy ones. For I am with you today. And this is the mission of My Father. I give these messages to you that the souls will be transformed more and more in My ways. 

And you must listen. For I have called you. You are chosen to help. My precious one, will you answer the call that I give to you? I am the Good Shepherd. It is the voice of the Good Shepherd that you hear and you follow Me. For your heart burns with My life when you read the Word and you go to the Mass, and you live as a man that is so one with your God. What gifts I have given to you, My cherished one. And how dearly I love you. I love you. I love you from the bottom of My Sacred Heart. And so, My child, I say to you: I take you to the deepest chamber of My Heart and there I lavishly outpour My love to you, and the fires of My Heart surround you and you are engulfed in My love. Come to Me, for I love you so. And I am so pleased with My shepherds and their great gifts given. And if I correct you, do not be haughty, but grow in your ways of renewal. For it is because of your holiness, because of your ways to be docile and to bend that the Movement has grown to this proportion today. It is in humility that you will thrive.

My chosen ones, you are so precious to Me. I am God and I tell you the way. You must listen. It is the plan of the Father that I deliver to you through the messengers for this earth so that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign in the hearts of men.

Oh, My apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I love you. Help Me.

My associates, all that are gathered, I call you here today to follow the plan that I give to you to reach the world more and more with My Word and the word of My Mother. And they smite Me and they persecute Me today, and they use My name in vain, and they laugh at Me. And it offends Me so, My child. For My Heart is consumed with love for all men, and it was for this that I shed the Blood in the garden. For My Heart was in such pain for the ones that I love that would reject Me and hate Me and go away and choose a false god. And no care was given for their Creator.

I am your God, and I love you. Will you help Me, My apostle of My Sacred Heart?

I treasure the gift of the handmaids and servants who have given themselves to Me.

I ask you to live as a community, to work more and more on the communal life. To see that it is so important to My plan for renewal of the Church and the world. And so you think that other things are important, and yet it is the love that I want, and the communal life in My communities. It is living and loving together, My servants and handmaids.

I am God. You are the instruments of My love.

(End of excerpt from July 13, 2000 rosary)

August 6, 2000, Feast of the Transfiguration- Second Message

Jesus speaks: I AM GOD.

I GIVE YOU SUCH GIFTS.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. COME TO ME.

LISTEN TO My songs given to you. 

I am Jesus, I love you.

Mary'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)}

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How can I help our life to be fuller by living more and more at the top of the mountain through hourly prayer?

How do I feel our hourly prayer, praying even a short prayer by ourselves on the hour, and staying united as a married couple, will help the souls?
