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.

Given November 6, 1999

Jesus speaks: Many children of today's world are wounded because of unmet needs from parents or from the bad effects of society on their lives.

Many people expect other people in love relationships to fill all their needs. They need to turn to Me and look inside of themselves for renewal. Many look outside of themselves all the time to satisfy the craving within to be loved, accepted and to feel secure.

Children may feel very insecure. They may feel unloved and not accepted. This can be attributed to different things. Children that live in abusive, alcoholic, dysfunctional homes are affected in their lives. Children who have been raised in a society that is filled with violence and lack of truth are suffering. They learn these things through televisions, movies, newspapers, video games, other people.

Your society is sick. I have the mighty medicine for you.


November 7, 1999 - Second Message

Given November 6, 1999

Jesus speaks: My child, many times you feel bad inside. When you look to the past, childhood, etc., usually childhood, and write about someone who has wronged you, you will see why you are acting sometimes like a wounded child that wants someone else to make you feel better.

The truth must be in you. Unless your apostles do this interior childhood writing they will continue to blame others for their pain and use other means to deal with it.

You are adults. Love is tender and gentle, it is not selfish and focused on self. Many times you think love is to make you feel all better, "And they lived happily ever after." Love is tough, love gives to the other, love seeks the truth. In love relationships all should truly want to be as the Father wishes them to be. In love relationships you need to grow to be more and more in the image of God. The one who thinks he only needs to spend time with God and cannot get along with others, doesn't realize that an aspect of growth occurs in dealing intimately with others. I am bringing you as a body into intimate love in which you will be a community growing in greater oneness, loving as the Father intended from the beginning, dying more and more to selfish ways and seeking the truth. Then the truth will be in you in greater measure. Seek it with all your heart. Do your interior work and quit blaming others for your pain.

Relationships can be very painful. There is no growth if the plant remains the same.

How Do I Love Thee, Jesus?

God's Blue Book III Cover

April 19, 1994 at Father Smith's Chapel 9:45a.m.  

Messenger: How do I love You, Jesus? I love You according to where I am in my heart. Do I judge my brothers-some are okay and some I want to avoid? Do I see with Your eyes, God, every child most precious to You.

How do I love You, Jesus? Am I eager to spread Your love to the hurting ones as well as the nice ones? Do I remember how You loved all to Your death? You did not die just for some. You died for the precious love of each and every soul.

How do I love You, Jesus? Do I love You in my brothers this day, or do I think, "Tomorrow I will love them all the way He wants." Every minute of every day is an opportunity for me to love my hurting brothers. If I miss moments in this day to love, they miss the love You want to give to them through me.

How do I love You, Jesus? How will I love the people You put in my path today? Will I love at all? Will my heart be fixed on You, or will I think of my own selfish interests and let a golden opportunity slip through my fingers?

How did I love You, Jesus, this day? I cannot love, Jesus, as You did. I need Your Heart to live in me. I need my heart to be filled with Your love. Oh, Jesus, let me join my heart to Yours. Teach me to love, as You so desire, all my brothers with a heart of love.

How did I love You, Jesus, this day? I need You, Lord. I need Your grace. I need You joined to me. Make me selfless and empty, ready to be filled by You. Help me to love with a heart full of Your love. Your way is not easy, Lord. I cannot do it without You, working in me. Join my heart in love to You that I might love as You desire. I love You, Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all. How can I love You as I ought? Do I want to love You, Lord, in my brothers? Do I choose to love?

Do I forgive, Lord? Do I forgive as You did when You forgave those who crucified You? Do I see how You showed me the way to love? You are so beautiful, Lord. You showed the way to love and forgiveness. Teach me Your ways, Lord. When You taught them Your ways of love, Lord, You were not popular. They persecuted You. They did not want to hear Your ways. Help me to be open, Lord, to the changes You want to occur in me so I can grow to be the light You want to shine in this dark world.

Jesus speaks: My child, there is no growth if the plant remains the same. Be ready to be pruned and plucked, cut back, watered, fertilized. Growth is not always easy, but what a beautiful plant in the end. Be ready for the pruning. Be ready for all that I send you. Be open and ready, for the day of the Lord is at hand. Every day you will be used to help others to grow in My love. Your trials are necessary for your growth. Without the trials you will not learn the teachings you need to do the work. Be an open door, accept all I send through the door and praise Him Who loves you dearly.

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill will shine brightly with the love of God radiating from the hearts of those who dwell there. I call you, My child, to love one another. This will light the darkest night. I am your Jesus, Son of the Living God. I am that light that shines from you. Be open to Me. Be ready, for My day is at hand and I operate from you. I love you, My beloved ones. Harken to My call. It is an urgent call from Him Who loves you dearly and cries out for the love of My beloved little ones who are in darkness. Do not be distracted by this world. Focus on Me and My love. I am the light that shines in the darkness. Let My light shine from your souls.


Jesus speaks: Whenever you feel bad inside, check inside first. Check yourself instead of looking for a victim to blame.

You must respond in holy love with each other. They persecuted Me and I loved them. I did not scream out at them. I loved them to My death. I withstood the persecution and I loved them.

You have a long way to go. When you start writing about your early relationships, you will see how dysfunctionally you have operated.

Write about the past when you are feeling unloved, abandoned. Write when you want to control a situation. Pray for grace that you get the light to see inside and hence be a greater light by renewal of yourself.

Oh, I want you holy.

The more you become holy, the more you will be one with Me for all eternity.

LIVE TO LOVE, really love. Do not live to get others to keep feeding your sick needs. Big babies cry the loudest, and if they never grow up, the bigger they get the louder they cry.

I want you to be little children like your heavenly Father and heavenly Mother.

Do not operate in your wrong ways of loving.

I gave you a free will, to love Me or to chose not to. You must not blame others for your bad moods, control others to make yourself secure, fight with others to fill you when you feel bad.

Look for the blessing in the cross. Kiss the cloudy day as a doorway to a day of greater light to come.

Count your blessings. Discern things, but love God's creatures. You are to be My light in the darkness.

When others act selfishly, pray for them and don't discount the loving things they have done.

Some people expect others to be perfect, like God.

Some people expect others in love relationships to fill their needs, like a little wounded child they expect others to fill all their needs. (Only God can do this.)

Some are indulgent and when they suffer they look for a victim to blame their suffering on.

If you live in sin, it doesn't make you feel good inside.

Sins that are pushed back inside keep you from admitting the truth and living in the truth. Hidden sins produce deep rooted guilt. You need to confess your sins, be forgiven and live thanking God for His goodness to forgive you.

Sins forgiven by Confession are forgiven, but you must still make reparation to God.

You do not go around feeling guilty and bowed down if you have said you are sorry to God and to anyone you offend. You recognize your sins and you must move on to promote My Kingdom. You do not forget your sins, you forgive yourself and say you are sorry. You try to make amends for your errors to God and to others. You live in the truth, recognizing your weaknesses and trying to do better, but realizing you are imperfect human persons striving for perfection.

Oh, how I love you, My little tainted children of the Father. I love you so much, I died for you.

Admit you are wrong when you are wrong, don't be so haughty and prideful. Do not admit you are wrong when actually you are not. You must tell the truth, but you can be sorry others are hurting.

I love you so much, Jesus.


November 7, 1999 - Nursing Home Message - Third Message

Jesus speaks: My nursing home beloved ones and others,

I plead with you for prayers.

I plead with you to give your heart to Me and My Mother.

My Heart is consumed with love for you.

My Mother cries to you for her children. Many are suffering and in sin.

See the weeping Mother beneath My cross.

Now I come to you. I ask you to see Me hanging on the cross. To My death I loved you and I gave My life for souls. Jesus Dies on the Cross Stained Glass Window

Now I ask you to see Me coming forth from the tomb victorious at the Resurrection. The Resurrection Stained Glass Window

The Victory is in Me.

I want you to offer all your little activities as a prayer for all the souls on the earth.

Your life offered as a prayer, a sacrifice, just the little things you do, done in love, offered to the Father can help save souls. They are hurting.

Will you help Me?

I have given you this time in your life to draw you closer to Me and My love for you.

Oh beautiful child of the Father, I love you so much and long to be with you for all eternity in heaven.

Make your life here an act of reparation to God for souls that have offended Him.

You are a member of the human race. The Father will hear your prayer and have mercy on the earth, on the precious souls I died for.

Please offer your life as a sacrifice for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. The priests are My ministers. Please pray for them. Please pray for My Movement, Shepherds of Christ.

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 Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.


Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer you this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit.
I unite with our Mother Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart.
I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart.

Imprimatur: Most Reverend Daniel E. Pilarczyk
Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati
January 22,1997

(Note: Imprimatur applies only to the Morning Offering.)


Excerpt from March 21, 1995 rosary, "Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross" from Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary



Jesus Dies on the Cross Stained Glass Window

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

  1. Jesus speaks: ... You do not know how I am longing for you to be so close. How I want you to surrender and let Me operate in your hearts! You tap ever so lightly when there is an ocean of My love that I want to give to you. Surrender your hearts and read My letters of love for it is in these letters that you will know My love more and more.
  2. As Mary walked by My side on the way to Calvary, as she stood under the cross, she is by your side in all your sufferings. You are never alone.
  3. I give you My very own Mother!
  4. Messenger: As she held His little baby body, she now holds His lifeless body in her arms under the cross.
  5. This rosary is from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, so united, one with each other. To love Jesus is to love Mary. To love Mary is to love Jesus.

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel our friendship has helped me be more like Jesus?
