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.


Jesus speaks: It helps men in working with women in intimate holy relationships. Husbands that truly try to understand their wives’ feelings will know more the gentle, feeling, part of My Heart.

Exchanging feelings and being gentle and loving with one another will help you grow in a deeper love union with Me.

Mary is the most perfect bride. Mary is the Woman chosen. Mary is the most perfect disciple under Me. Mary is My Mother. Mary is the most perfect spouse of the Lamb.

It is essential for the men of the Church to give their hearts to Mary in order to be teachers in the Church to lead the people to where they need to be. Within Mary’s Heart, the Holy Spirit works bringing forth and nurturing the Christ-life in the members of the body.

Oh men, I ask you to listen to Me. The Spirit must move in the hearts of men. Men must put aside self-dominant ways to be as handmaids of the Lord. Mary served the Lord most perfectly, Mary, the singular vessel. Mary is the ark. Oh men, I speak, I come to set the captives free. Mary is the ark that raises your polluted hearts to clear and crystal-light waters.

Mary comes to you, the Lady of Clearwater, praying with you at 6:20. She prays all day for her children, united with the apostles that are praying as a body all over the world.

I ask for the picture of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit window, The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, and next to it, side by side, the image of Mary on the building. This should be as large as possible. I request this. I am Jesus.

Please pray the novena at 6:20 all over the world, joined as a body praying for the Church and the world and for the priests, your teachers.

I love you so much with undying love.

Love, Jesus

     

6:20

Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

(Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje, Chapter 2, page 18)


January 15, 2000 - Second Message

Messenger: Let us pray that the Spirit flows greatly in the Church nurturing the Christ-life in the brides of Christ.

It is exciting and it is painful as the branches are cut back allowing the dead portions to fall off to allow for the new growth of life rooted more deeply in Him.

He is the Vine, the Spirit will flow in the Movement bringing forth new life in us all as we are formed and molded more fully into children which the Father desires.

Thank God for you and all you have done to affect so many souls on the earth, in the Church and in the world through all of your prayers and sacrifices.

In looking at our "dark" parts, we must not lose sight of the victory.

We must die to the "junk" and focus on the glorious parts that have grown more like Him.

I thank you for your humility and love to be open to be molded more like Jesus.


Romans 8:14-17

Children of God

All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, ‘Abba, Father!’ The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.


January 15, 2000 - Third Message

Jesus speaks: Oh My child, the pain for the priests who smite Me. Priests are the teachers of how I am, a Bridegroom, a Lover, a God-made-Man come out of love.

A beautiful love story, play the violins, sing love songs, come and worship and honor Me.

Oh, some of My priests come with a busy schedule.

For so many There is no time to sit with Me and love Me and spend time with Me, their Bridegroom.

And oh, My child, if that is not enough, I have been removed from My throne and now a chair sits there.

Oh, My child, I was present to them behind the altar in the tabernacle, the Chief-Priest, present through the Masses in the churches.

Oh, My child, when I am present in a room in the Blessed Sacrament, those there are able to feel My Presence if they are open and attentive to Me.

Oh, My child, how could one say My being truly present behind the altar would not make a tremendous difference at the Mass?

My child, when My Eucharistic Presence is there, when I am in the tabernacle in the Eucharist, I am no less present there than when I walked the earth.

Messenger: Oh, My Jesus, help me to do what You want me to do here to help others understand what you say.

Jesus speaks: Oh, My child, it is simple, I am God, I am Supreme, I am Divine, I want to be loved by you.

Man does not understand My ways and they are filled with pride.

I speak to you and you suffer as I did in the garden. You will never be able to stand all the sufferings I did, but I give you a little suffering to let you know a little how much I suffered for you and so that you can identify with the pain.

Oh, My child, love Me.


Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel I can better express myself in my feeling letter to you by using feeling words? For example, I was sad, I felt scared, I felt angry, I was really hurt, I was so disappointed, my heart hurt inside, I was ecstatic, I felt I could cry, I felt I wanted to escape, etc.
