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 the 6:20 prayers.


October 27, 1999 - First Message

Jesus speaks: Many were taught with authority that was dominating and that is what they know.

The person underneath should know the love of those in authority.

Power comes from God. If persons act strongly in authority, without love, they are not receiving their power from God. I am Love. All power under My feet comes in love.

There should be this connection of love and acceptance, there should be this attitude on the person of the one underneath to serve.

Some who did not receive love and acceptance when younger struggle and struggle with the person in authority to make them feel secure. This is not the role of the person in authority as such, both must work to be as God wills.

The one underneath first and always must go to God for love and security, but the one in authority, if he truly loves, gives an atmosphere of love and security to the relationship. The one underneath who has had a childhood of insecure relationships in his family may try and try to fill this unmet need.

The bottom line is there are imperfections on both sides and if the persons are coming to serve God, operating under His feet, coming in His name, living to do God’s will, they should both advance in the ways of promoting the good God wishes to establish through that relationship.

To be productive, all must realize power comes from Me. In cutting off these lines of authority, one acts as Eve.

The devil wants people to do their own thing, especially to act without authority. Ones who act without authority declare their willfulness and distance themselves from Me.

Because all are imperfect, they must work in love with each other’s imperfections.

There must be love.

If authority is coming from Me, its ultimate end is love.

One cannot become slavishly dependent on the other.

One cannot be possessive or jealous, cutting off important relationships which are according to God’s will.

All must be one.

Some people constantly have trouble with authority over them because of their own problems. They try to force the one in authority to be the way they are familiar with, which may have been a very dysfunctional way.

Love must permeate all actions.

The devil is always acting to break off this line of power. He wants people to be in charge unlawfully. He wants division. He wants conflicts in opinion. You do not even know how many arguments occur because the one feels lost power and wants his way.

You may feel that it is right, but the devil works to get you focused on that feeling and to block communication. Many times it blocks the "bending in" on both sides that is needed to solve a problem correctly according to the Father’s will. Parties become blinded on both sides, they seek out supporters for their opinions and then go into battle accompanied by outside supporters when the problem needs to be settled directly between two persons.

The devil creates problems. The devil works in the mind of one building a case against the other and the devil works in the other building a case against the first one. When they meet, they have been prompted to act as a judge and a jury in the trial and conviction of a villain.

What happens when such activity has already occurred in the mind? The intelligent thing is to settle with your opponent immediately, but what happens, many times, is the one consults outside parties and now the conviction within the mind against another becomes stronger and rooted in the world. It is a case, "See I thought so and now Judy and Jackie say the same thing." This is the beginning of division and taking sides.

There are enormous problems in the world and I help you to discern what is correct and work through it according to the Father’s will and following the Commandments. Problems must be settled --NOT overlooked!

It is not all black and white. Sometimes the devil works in the thoughts, sometimes you must act in a problem.

How to know which? I have given you My Blue Book Messages. They are letters of love to help you keep your focus on how much I truly love you. In the middle of an attack from Satan, stopping, reflecting on your mission and how much you love God and want to serve Him, begging that God possess your soul at that moment, praying the Prayer for Union with Jesus and opening the Blue Book anywhere for a message, will help you. I promise you, I am with you in your suffering and I want you to turn to Me.

If you are acting in My name and you are up against a wall with one in authority over you or with someone under you, Satan will want you to act quickly and resolve it to feel better. You must be loving. Do not act in desolation. Many times when a rush of emotion comes over you to act and you are angry, it is from Satan.

The one acting prudently knows that you must pray and turn to God in prayer. The discussion may still be tense and heated because problems must come out. You cannot hide problems under the rug. Feelings must be shared when real problems and hurts exist, but it can be a sudden thought that one receives that creates a case against the other and convicts him and it could be this conviction that is an attack from Satan.

How does Satan work? In a hurry. You are okay one moment and a thought of division against another moves in and then he begins to create a case and convict the soul as a judge and a jury and when you see the person, you feel he is guilty.

Satan is real. People must work through problems in their minds, but Satan can mix the thoughts with negative reasoning against another that takes your focus away from loving God, loving one another and being productive.

The bottom line is, I work in structure and authority.

All power comes from Me. One who acts unlawfully against authority has "jumped the lines" and acts alone, not from Me.

But when one is given authority, they have a responsibility to act.

Authority must be exactly as My Father wills.

I am the Son of God. I come to show you how to be a son of God and a brother to Me.

Acting like Eve when she raised her heel over Me is wrong.

You must strive for personal holiness, you must pray for humility. Mary is the handmaid of the Lord.

I ask leaders and those directly above and below to consecrate daily. When you are divided, know the devil is probably working on both sides to divide you and take you away from the work of helping souls.

You cannot be divided. My Heart is a Heart of love. Love never fails -- Read My Blue Books.


October 27, 1999 - Second Message

Excerpt from October 24, 1999 Rosary


1 Corinthians 12:13-26

The analogy of the body

We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, 'I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body,' it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the ear were to say, 'I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body,' that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling?

As it is, God has put all the separate parts into the body as he chose. If they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are many but the body is one. The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you,' and nor can the head say to the feet, 'I have no need of you.'

What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest which are the indispensable ones. It is the parts of the body which we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity; and our less presentable parts are given greater presentability which our presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater dignity is given to the parts which were without it, and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equally concerned for all the others. If one part is hurt, all the parts share its pain. And if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy.


Jesus speaks: They thought that they were right and yet they crucified Me. I am God. I have all power and all authority. I have led you as a body into greater and greater unity. The whole world has been affected through all of the things you have accomplished. The devil is angered because of the Retreat and the time to come in December.

And I call you to unite as never before in all your dealings with one another. The communication will become more and more difficult. Choose love and ask God to come and possess your souls. You must work through the most difficult situations, for you will be attacked, at war, and I will give you the grace to withstand these attacks. But you must be docile and humble. You must look inside and more and more see the ways in which you have acted that were dysfunctional, that have caused problems in your own lives. Look at the relationships and see that you act in the greatest purity in handling the situations, for there are many that are under you that will be affected. You are one body, you are united. Everything that you do affects the body. You can see how your prayers have helped to change so many souls of the earth, and it is true that the more you grow in greater oneness, the more powerful the prayer, as you pray together, especially at the 6:20 hour, and unite as a body in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass daily. You must be aware of this -- that you are to try to all be united all day with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as a body, praying as great intercessors for the people of this earth, praying for grace and mercy to be released.

I ask you now to focus on your connection to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at this moment, wherever it is being celebrated throughout the world. I ask you every moment to feel that connection as a body, whether you are in Florida; or China, Indiana; or Morrow, Ohio, to realize the immense power that is being released because of your lives given in service and in unity with one another.

Hail Mary.....

You live to set the captives free.


October 27, 1999 - Nursing Home Message - Third Message

Nursing Homes and All Others

Jesus speaks: My chosen ones,

Today I come to you with My Heart of love. I want you to know that I love you and that I died for you.

Today I want you to know I wait for you and I am God. I do not want you to feel you are alone, I want you to feel My constant presence with you.

Say you are sorry and make peace with all. Division in your heart hurts you. Even if they will not make peace with you, forgive them. You must forgive.

Go to Confession. Tell Me and tell a priest your sins. Confession is good for your soul, but don’t blame yourself for everything. I want you to feel peace in your heart. Many times the devil makes you feel guilty in the wrong way when you sin. If you say you are sorry, if you are willing to forgive, if you tell them and Me and try to make amends, do not focus on your sin or you will not move ahead and shed My light to your brothers.

You are to be a light to the dark world and be rooted in My love. Don’t get stuck in not forgiving yourself, this is poison. Admit the truth, recognize your sins, look inside and find the instances that you have failed to forgive and forgive, then be about spreading My light, being docile and humble, remembering your sins, but remembering My forgiveness and love, forgiving others and loving them as I love you.

I love you, Jesus.


Messenger: When visiting a nursing home this is a plan you can follow to pray a little part of the rosary with the elderly or sick residents.

What is usually done and tolerated by the elderly folks is one Our Father, five Hail Mary's and another Our Father. The song, A Song from Jesus can be sung before and after these prayers.

It is desirable to have a big picture of the Assumption when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Excerpt from April 16, 1995 rosary from Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary pp. 110-111

  1. Jesus speaks: Model yourselves after Mary, My Mother. She was taken body and soul into heaven. You, too, some day will be taken into My kingdom.
  2. Jesus speaks: You must come to Our Hearts. Pray from the heart, My beloved ones. As Mary was so united to My Heart, pray to Mary to unite yourselves closer and closer to My Heart.
  3. Jesus speaks: Our Hearts are a great symbol of Our love for you.
  4. Jesus speaks: How I want to unite with each one of you in deepest love, to unite more deeply with you. The love that I have is immeasurable and the longings of your hearts are the longings to unite ever closer to My Heart. You will be satisfied in heaven, My beloved ones, for your hearts will be filled with My love.
  5. Messenger: Mary mothers us as she mothered Jesus. Mary is the Mother of the Church. We pray to Mary to lead us to an ever deeper union with God.

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q:   How do I feel when I want to spend time with you and there are many other urgent things that keep us from doing this?
