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.


Excerpt from April 4, 2000 Daily Message

Messenger: From the book Response to God's Love, written by our founder I quote:

"The Christian community is a terrestrial reflection of the ultimate and absolute community --- namely, the Trinity. In a special way, we are privileged to give witness to Trinitarian life, a life of divine intimacy and loving. From all eternity, the persons of the Trinity are united in the most intimate bonds of knowledge and love…

"Because the life of the Trinity is person-centered, so must the life of the Christian community be person-centered ...

"The Christian community, in turn, develops when those who make up that community develop as authentic Christians. Just as each divine person contributes perfectly to the community life of the Trinity according to the perfect fullness of his personhood, so each Christian contributes to community life in proportion to the degree of his or her personal development …"


Jesus speaks: I come to purify the world, to set the captives free.   I am Savior. I am God.


John 16: 12-15

I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
   to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
   of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
   the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.


Messenger: All communities, including families, are to be holy and model their relationships after the life of the Trinity, and are to exist in the Trinity.  Do you see the plan of God for deep intimate love between God's people modeled after the love of the Father for the Son and the Son for the Father?

Listen to the plan of God revealed in the first Blue Book message.

Cling to Me Excerpt

God's Blue Book I Cover

May 13, 1993 

Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me.


John 17:21

May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
   and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
   it was you who sent me.


God the Father speaks: I am the Father.  I speak here to you through My Son Jesus, I reveal My plan for you IN HIM. He comes to set the captives free. 

My sons and daughters, hear Me. Hear the Voice of My Son here as He speaks to you to give deeper insight into the Scriptures, that the WORD will more and more LIVE IN YOU. He is the WORD, the One I send to you today.


Isaiah 49:8-15
The joyful homecoming

Thus says Yahweh:
At the time of my favour
   I have answered you,
on the day of salvation I have helped you.
I have formed you and have appointed you
to be the covenant for a people,
to restore the land,
to return ravaged properties,
to say to prisoners, 'Come out,'
to those who are in darkness,
   'Show yourselves.'
Along the roadway they will graze,
and any bare height will be their pasture.
They will never hunger or thirst,
scorching wind and sun
   will never plague them;
for he who pities them will lead them,
will guide them to springs of water.
I shall turn all my mountains into a road
and my highways will be raised aloft. 
Look! Here they come from far away,
look, these from the north and the west,
those from the land of Sinim.

Shout for joy, you heavens; earth, exult!
Mountains, break into joyful cries!
For Yahweh has consoled his people,
is taking pity on his afflicted ones.
Zion was saying,
   'Yahweh has abandoned me,
the Lord has forgotten me.'
Can a woman forget her baby at the breast,
feel no pity for the child she has borne?
Even if these were to forget,
I shall not forget you.


John 5:17-30

His answer to them was, 'My Father still goes on working, and I am at work, too.' But that only made the Jews even more intent on killing him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he spoke of God as his own Father and so made himself God's equal.
    To this Jesus replied:

  In all truth I tell you,
  by himself the Son can do nothing;
  he can do only
      what he sees the Father doing:
  and whatever the Father does
      the Son does too.
  For the Father loves the Son
  and shows him everything
      he himself does,
  and he will show him
      even greater things than these,
  works that will astonish you.
  Thus, as the Father raises the dead
      and gives them life,
  so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses;
  for the Father judges no one;
  he has entrusted all judgement to the Son,
  so that all may honour the Son
  as they honour the Father.
  Whoever refuses honour to the Son
  refuses to honour the Father
      who sent him.
  In all truth I tell you,
  whoever listens to my words,
  and believes in the one who sent me,
  has eternal life;
  without being brought to judgement
  such a person
      has passed from death to life.
  In all truth I tell you,
  the hour is coming --
      indeed it is already here --
  when the dead
      will hear the voice of the Son of God,
  and all who hear it will live.
  For as the Father has life in himself,
  so he has granted the Son also
      to have life in himself;
  and, because he is the Son of man,
  has granted him power
      to give judgement.
  Do not be surprised at this,
  for the hour is coming
  when the dead will leave their graves
  at the sound of his voice:
  those who did good
  will come forth to life;
  and those who did evil
      will come forth to judgement.
  By myself I can do nothing;
  I can judge only as I am told to judge,
  and my judging is just,
  because I seek to do not my own will
  but the will of him who sent me.


Message from Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998

Jesus speaks: (with great emotion)  COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!!  I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.

I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.

Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.

Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lense graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.

I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.

Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blindmen and I shout to you.

My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart.

Messenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!

Messenger: As I unite with Him in the most intimate experiences in the Eucharist, I become one in His desires and what He wants, I become more as He is. He is the life, He is the resurrection, He is God.

I become more in Him, His desires are my desires, the Father's Plan is imprinted in my soul during the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. I am transformed immensely in those moments after Communion to being alive in Him.

God the Father: I am God, you are man, I have given My Son Jesus to you to unite your soul to Me. I am the Father, He is the First Born from the dead. Life will abound in heaven and on earth.

God has visited His people and now He Reigns. He has ransomed them with the Blood of the Lamb.


Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
Verse 1

Glory, Glory, Glory Lord!
You have risen from the tomb!
Give us life Lord, Your precious life!
You have risen to give us new life!


Sorrowful MotherMary'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)


MY VALENTINE FOR JESUS AND MARY
AND THE WORLD

I                                    give my heart to
You Jesus and Mary on this day.
I promise to help spread the devotion to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
