July 31, 2000 - Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola


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.


Messenger: Today I am filled with emotion and love because of this special feast of St. Ignatius. I love him and the Jesuits and St. Francis Xavier and St. Claude de La Colombiere and St. Margaret Mary and I feel that they will help intercede to God for our intentions to spread this great devotion to His most Sacred Heart.

I see within me that place of beauty and rest in a red cavern with a golden-yellow glow, the place within me where I can go and be with Him and the troubles dissolve as I feel His might. I feel the warmth of being wrapped in the arms of my Mother and I am one with God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I work hard, play hard, and try not to be hard as I surrender my entire will, my entire being to Him for the purpose of helping souls.


Words of Surrender of a Soul

Words of Consecration to God

Today Lord, (today's date), I give You my entire will-

I give You all my liberties, I want to love and serve You as You desire.

I surrender myself to You.

I ask You to run my life.

I ask You to help me act like You, Jesus, and like Your Mother Mary.

God, this day I consecrate myself to You.

I am  (name) , Your beloved child, guide me on my way now as I go about my day (or if in Church) as I leave Your Eucharistic presence.


Messenger: My emotions rage inside of me, sometimes overwhelming love for all His precious ones He has called in the Movement, sometimes overwhelming love for my own children and husband and my family, many times deep, deep love for His souls, wanting priests throughout the world that love Him so much and spread this love to all. Whatever the emotions of love, I am overwhelmed many times after the Eucharist especially, and I do not want Him to ever go. My heart is so filled with the presence of God and in those moments He elevates my loving capacity to great heights. I want the world to be as He is, to love Him, to know Him. I want all to know great gifts given in the Holy Eucharist.

How to even write about Him truly present in the Eucharist, I do not have words. I just know how my whole life is centered around Him and the Mass and the Church and I am truly the bride of Christ. I want Him, I long for Him, I desire to be with Him for all eternity in the deepest union.

I labor trying to do His work and identify with Him in the garden in His suffering because of those who do not appreciate the gifts God has given to men, I am sorry for my sins and the sins of all men.

I see the coffin now and the pews lined with the faithful. When life on earth is over, our works, our love, our faults can influence others. What a responsibility to know that we teach those that come after us. Like ripples on a pond our works go on after us.

We are the children of God and we bring other children into the world. In being closed to recognizing our imperfections and our sins, we teach others those imperfections and show others bad example. A legacy goes on behind us and we are responsible how we are, every day, because we teach others.

Our world today is partially the product of what went before. When Mary appeared at Fatima, she warned us and told us what to do. Men did not listen to Our Lady's warning.

God gives me messages today, I am a messenger telling men what God and Mary say we must do.

If proof is needed, Mary on the building is proof something is going on here and we need to take notice.

Please pray as Jesus has instructed. Pray the prayers for the priests He has given. See the prayer manual.

Messenger: Please pray with me.

OH JESUS, HELP THE DISPOSITION OF MY HEART TO BE PURE.

God, help me to be loving.

Help me to see the real good in others.

Help me to love them as You love them.

Forgive me for my offenses against others.

Help me, God, to love and to work for the end You intend.

Help me to be pure in heart as the Virgin Mary.

When I feel suspicious and judge others, please grant me the grace to see the truth and act only as You desire for the good of pleasing You and helping the world to grow for Your honor and glory.

Oh, God, help me to be like Jesus and Mary, the New Adam, the New Eve, and help me to not be jealous, selfish, or prideful, putting myself above You in any way, always living in humility and being subject to You.

Oh, God, please forgive me for all my sins and failings and help me to forgive others for their imperfect ways shown to me, and, God, please forgive us as a human race, I am so sorry for my sins and the sins of the human race. Please grant us pardon, and grace. Have mercy on us poor sinners.

Say Hail Mary prayer to our most pure Mother. Say, "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."

I pray to be as He desires.

Jesus speaks: My child, you are indeed imperfect. You are here to learn how to love. I give you a lifetime. When your body is laid to rest on that final day, you will leave behind you many things. Your body dies, but your love and hatred have been given to others. You must learn to trust your God and look at all the good He has done for you. You must realize you are not perfect and always be open to changing bad patterns of behavior and not expect others to be perfect. All are imperfect. It is My grace that will help the troubled world. You must pray for all things. I love you so much. I watch you and want you to know I am always with you. My Mother is always with you. Go to her Heart and feel secure in her love.

I ask you to write to Me of your fears and insecurities. Ask yourself your motives for acting, is it for your glory or My glory? Are you jealous? Are you afraid of being abandoned, and then when you are afraid of being alone, you try to control others or create problems for others.

When you feel bad, do you try to find a victim to blame it on so you feel better? Recognize the FACT I ALLOW YOU TO SUFFER and accept it, offer it up for grace. I hung on the cross for 3 hours.

You have nothing to be anxious about, your time here is to love and serve Me, to bring forth fruit for the Kingdom, not your own personal glory. Where are you going? I could end your life today. Let your stiff shoulders down, say you are sorry and be humble. Don't carry around all that baggage. Oh, the baggage you carry because you will not forgive, or you are afraid, afraid of being LEFT OUT or ALONE. Don't create problems because you are alone. Take that time and be with Me. Don't try to control things so you aren't alone. You are never alone, I am with you and when you are in the state of grace, I dwell in you in a special way and so, too, the Father and Holy Spirit. Pray the rosary, read the Blue Books, write to Me, you aren't alone. The devil works to try to stop you. I want you to reach My souls. Don't act irrationally because you feel alone. Offer up your suffering and keep focusing on My love and My presence with you. The Almighty God is with you now and I am truly present in the tabernacle. Go to the tabernacle and be with Me. I will outpour My grace to you. I am your Friend and Lover.

On this Feast of St. Ignatius pray as I have directed to him, St. Francis Xavier, St. Claude, St. Margaret Mary to help you on this mission promoting the devotion to My Sacred Heart and that of My Mother's Heart.

I AM WITH YOU.

Jesus speaks: USE MY BLUE BOOKS.

Blue Book II  - The Fire of My Love.

Blue Book III to help you get along with others.

I love you,

I am Jesus.

Mary speaks: I am thankful for all you do to reach my precious souls. I am thankful for all your prayers and gifts given to help get this material to souls. Write down all the good that others have done for you, do not focus on the negative. Be positive and loving in dealing with  one another. Solving problems is a good thing for greater growth, be positive and loving.

I am a Mother and I mother you, today. I tell you how much I love you and I am with you, pray through the intercession of the saints, especially St. Ignatius, St. Xavier, St. Claude, St. Margaret Mary for your mission.


       

Jesus speaks: Please pray for all Shepherds of Christ intentions.

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)
