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.


Mary speaks: My children, I am the handmaid of the Lord. You must attend Mass as I would attend Mass. I gave myself as a sacrifice to the Father in the Holy Spirit, I prayed from the depth of my Heart. I am the servant. I wish my priests to offer the Mass slowly, identified with my Son, Jesus. I wish the people to respond slowly with all their hearts. Do not rush the prayers. I come in loving peace, your Mother, calm and unhurried to deliver this message to you. Your Father wishes your fervent offering as you are united to my Immaculate Heart and the Heart of my Son. Attend Mass to help save souls. Say you are sorry for your sins and the sins of all men. Pray to make reparation to the Heart of my Son, Jesus, and to my Heart. Pray for oneness in the Church and the world. Pray for the intentions of my Son’s Movement, Shepherds of Christ.

I love you, I am your Mother Mary.

Our Lady of Grace

Mary speaks: My children, I ask you to live as I would live.

Jesus speaks: I want you to model your lives after your Mother Mary. At every moment offer yourself as a sacrifice to God, living in the Father’s will, acting as your Mother Mary would. Model yourself after her gentleness, look at other persons and love them, seeing the good that others do. If one sins or acts wrongfully, pray through her powerful intercession. When Mary walked the earth, she prayed for the Apostles, she prayed for her children. Her prayers are powerful prayers. We have taught you how to pray powerful heartfelt prayers in the daily messages. Read them and circulate them. Unite all you do to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, making your every breath an offering, a sacrifice. Be united to your Mother Mary, feel her presence with you. Know that she will help you as your Mother to lead you to a deeper union with God.

Messenger: Mary, my Mother, help me to know you and to pray constantly through your powerful intercession and to model my life after you.
