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.

December 17, 1999 - Second Message

Excerpts from the Rosary of December 17, 1998

Mary speaks: My child, I give to you this night on the 17th, 1998, this message. Stand beneath the cross with me and know the love of my Son, for I ask you to look at Him, to see Him there covered with wounds and with Blood, as I stood beneath the cross and looked at Him. He gave His Life for you, my child. There are so many of my children this day that will be lost to the fires of hell, and I cry out to you from this place, for your heavenly Father has allowed me to appear here because of His great love for you. I am your heavenly Mother. I want to lead you into the Heart of my Son. I want to take you to that place that is right, to the place of truth, but the devil has partially blocked the endeavors of the Shepherds of Christ Movement to lead the children of this world to the Hearts of their Blessed Mother and of my Son Jesus.

At Fatima I appeared over 80 years ago and I told the children that they must give their hearts to Our Hearts so that they would be hearts of love and they disobeyed the messages. I warned them of the war to come. After the war, it did not shake the children of the earth, for today they are very far, many of them, from their hearts and I cry out to you. You are children of love. God created you to love God and to love one another, to live by the Ten Commandments, to live according to the word of God. And I give to you my rosary, my children. It is a prayer to the Mother and to the Father asking for help to live as holy children according to the Father's will, for you pray, "Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Mother help us. Father we are your little children, help us to be good, to do God's will. Help us to know what is right. Help us to not be selfish, to be kind and loving to one another, to see our brothers through the eyes of God, to see our brothers as brothers and not as enemies, to be united in one mind and one heart with all the people of this earth."

For you are all the children of God and you must unite in love. It is in giving your hearts to me and to my Son that you will be united in great oneness.

And I have asked over and over again that the simple consecration be spread to the school children, but it is blocked over and over again. If the school children would say, "I give my heart to Jesus and to Mary" there would be one mind in the school room, but as it is, there are many, many wills, much diversity in one room.

In the families, if they gave their hearts to Jesus and Mary there would be one will, the will of the Father, for in Our Hearts, dwelling in Our Hearts, you will operate according to the Father's will. But as it is, in many families there are many, many wills and they are not living according to the will of the Father in harmonious love.

What do you teach your children, America? Are you teaching them about love and relationship, that they are meant to live for all eternity with God in deep union? Or are you making this earth your end and thinking, "Some day, some day, I will turn to God."

I give to you the story of Oscar and Scotty in the daily messages and I ask you to study them, for it happens to the young and to the old. There are two boys, 15 and 18, on the way to school and instantly by a matter of force they have an accident and they die. Your lives are very fragile, my children. When will that day come for you? You must always be prepared for you are the children of God. It is for this reason that you were created, to be with God for all eternity in everlasting love, to love one another.

Do you know what hell is? Hell is total abandonment and isolation and hatred and pain. Many do not believe. You do not believe that this is reality because you do not see and thus I showed the children at Fatima the vision of hell. "Little children," you say, "how could you, our heavenly Mother show these little children a vision of hell?" What do I do to wake you? My children I love you so, more than you could ever love your own children, and you know the love that you have in your hearts for them. The Father is concerned, my children, for the state of your souls. It is not the money that is your god, it is your God, the Creator, the One Who created the heavens and the earth that supplies you with the breath that you breathe, that gives to you a free will to choose, for what is love if you are forced? He gives to you a free will. This is how it will be in the Reign of the Sacred Heart and it will come, my children. It will come for the children of the earth. "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven." My children, it will happen. All men will live in one will according to the Father's will. You must cooperate willingly with the Ten Commandments, willingly in love. This is what the Father wishes, that you will live in truth and right, willingly, that you will give freely from your hearts in love. What is a love relationship in your own life if the person holds back, and does not wish to give and they do it as if they are forced. Do you like this situation?

Your Father is Love. He created you to love. He wants you to love Him willingly and so He gives to you this free will. Many have made this earth their end. Will you help me reach my children? For I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. There were tears of sorrow, for I knew that many would be lost. There were tears of joy, for many would be saved. My Son gave His Life for you and for your children. If you are a parent today, I beg you to guard your children and consecrate their hearts to my Heart, to pray the rosary, to pray fervently, to pray the prayers that my Son gives to you for the renewal of the Church and the world, for your world is bleeding, and the demons are busy surrounding the souls trying to lead them astray.

America, you are suffering and you are at war with the evil one, and you will not even speak of the evil one or say his name, yet he is tearing the hearts of your children from their chests.

God is Love. You must learn to love one another and love your God. I give to you the Ten Commandments:

  1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides Me.
  2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
  3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

And how is the Sabbath Day my children? For how do they treat their God on the day on which He should be worshipped and adored and loved?

  1. Honor your father and your mother.

And how do you honor your father and your mother? And how do children obey their parents, or are the children trying to be equal to the parents? Do they argue and fight? Are they taught on the television that they should get their way? And how are you honoring your Father in heaven and your heavenly Mother? The Father is your Father and I am your Mother. And many have ignored their Father and their Mother in heaven.

  1. You shall not kill.
  2. You shall not commit adultery.
  3. You shall not steal.
  4. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  5. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
  6. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

And so why do I speak to you, my children? I speak to you as a Mother, for you must pray. I appear on this building to tell you to pray and to give me your hearts and to give your hearts to my Son, Jesus. For the more you do this, the more you will have hearts of love, the more He will live in you and operate through you and minister to this world that is hurting and in pain.

Will you help me, my children? On this day, December 17, 1998, I ask you to study the picture on the front of the Blue Book II of His Heart and to read the messages inside of the Blue Books. They are His messages of love given to you. As your grow more and more in understanding the great love of your God, you will love one another more fervently. I ask you to pray and to consecrate your hearts with your children. I ask you to help me to spread this consecration to the schools that school children will pray. And what do they say? They say, "The rosary takes 15 minutes. We cannot do that in a Catholic school." Why does the Catholic school exist? Is it not to help to form the child more and more in the ways of the Catholic Faith? "But they have to do all these other subjects."

I am Mary your Mother, Our Lady of Fatima, and I speak to you, my children, of the earth. You must pray the rosary. I am the Queen of Peace. It is in the rosary that the Holy Spirit works in your hearts and you know God more. It is the Father's will, my children, that you give your hearts to me and to my Son. In order for you to be united in great oneness you must recognize me as your spiritual Mother. You are the tainted children of Eve. I am the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate one. Come to my Immaculate Heart. I am the Woman Clothed with the Sun. You are my children, I will lead you to the Light. I will take you to the Heart of my Son. His Heart is on fire for love of you.

Mary speaks: My children, I beg you to listen to the message that I deliver to you this evening. I am your Mother and I love each and every precious soul. My Son, Jesus, wishes that each and every soul to be a soul that will go to heaven forever and ever.

Mary speaks: I am Mary your Mother and I am asking you, my children, to pray from today through Christmas Day (9 days) these prayers and the holy rosary with your family and with others. Christ will come alive in their hearts so that men will grow in their knowledge and love for God and their love for one another.

Messenger: The prayers to be prayed are in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual and the Holy Spirit Novena booklet.


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 Presentation in the Temple when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.


Excerpt from January 13, 1997 rosary, "The Presentation in the Temple" from the Apostles' Manual.

The Presentation in the TempleThe Presentation in the Temple

  1. Jesus speaks: ... I Am Who Am. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the Almighty God. You must be obedient children. It is through your obedience that the consecration will spread to many souls on the earth. It is through your obedience to help spread the priestly newsletter and start prayer chapters in churches that many priests will love God with the greatest love in the Mass.
  2. Messenger: He came our Savior, our King, our Almighty God. He took flesh in her womb through the power of the Spirit. He was carried in her arms as a helpless baby. He went to the temple and there Simeon said, "Now, Master, you are letting your servant go in peace as you promised; for my eyes have seen the salvation which you have made ready in the sight of the nations; a light of revelation for the gentiles and glory for your people Israel. As the child's father and mother were wondering at the things the were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, 'Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed - and a sword will pierce your soul too-so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'" (Lk. 2: 24-35)1
  3. ...When our hearts are one, when the hearts of the faithful are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the hearts of the priests are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will be one in Their Hearts. There will be one flock and one shepherd. We must obey our Mother and do what she has told us to do. We must spread the consecration to the youngest child to the oldest person. We must tell them to give their hearts to Mary and to Jesus.
  4. And the children of darkness walked next to the children of light. And those that will be saved will be those that are children of light. We must do as Mother Mary has told us.
  5. And Mary speaks and she says that she stood beneath the cross of her Son. And Simeon said to Mary that a sword too will pierce your heart, oh Mary. And she stood under the cross and her Heart was in such anguish for she knew of the children that would be lost, her little children, the ones that she loves so dearly...

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do you feel we can love one another more by engaging in loving speech and gestures that honor and respect the gift God gives to us in having one another to love?
