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.


REPARATION TO THE HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY

Reparation to Our God

Messenger: I am so unworthy to receive the Divine God Who gives Himself to me and comes inside of me and unites me more to Him and gives me Himself and pours out His grace.

Oh God, the gift of the Mass that man can partake and offer sacrifice and be so one with that Sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present now through the hands of the priest.

I cried at Mass, feeling so deeply how we have offended our God and trying to unite in such oneness with Jesus, offering a most pure sacrifice dwelling in Mary's heart. I just wanted the Father to see the Sacrifice of His Son and outpour grace on us and mercy and for the Father to know how sorry I am for my sins and the sins of the whole human race. We ignore Him, and He is so good to us. He is the Almighty, all powerful, all Holy, all good God.

How can we act this way? We are so blind. I begged and pleaded at Mass with all my soul that God would please forgive us. I just wanted to cry so deep and I saw how we must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Today being August 13, I was given a strong message to make reparation to Their Hearts.

Today we will pray for about 5 hours in China, Indiana, in a church full of people before the Blessed Sacrament. I just want to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and tell God how much we love Him, and thank Him for all His gifts to us and tell Him how sorry we are for offending the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and ignoring Mary at Fatima, and beg and pray for grace and mercy and peace in the world. 

Oh, please, pray with us. Please, we have offended our God, we must make reparation for offending the New Adam and the New Eve, Jesus and Mary, and not recognizing Their pure and holy Hearts. We cannot use God's name in vain and sin sexually and disrespect one another. We are temples of God, we must respect ourselves as instruments to further His Kingdom, to recognize His goodness, to respect and love our God, to love and respect one another.

Oh, look at the mountains, look at a grain of wheat, look at a seed. Look at Mary, Sorrowful Mother, the Lady on the building and the Gold Mary from July 5, 2000, when we prayed there at 6:20.

Oh, God, we adore You, we worship You, we honor You, we praise You, we are sorry for offending You, please accept our humble prayer. We cry to You for grace and funds to be able to continue to do all You are asking us to do. As the priestly newsletter spreads in English and Spanish and now French, and all the prayer materials multiply, we need more and more prayers and funds to reach the priests and the world. Please, we beg You, pray with as at 6:20. Oh God, Oh Father, hear our prayer. All people, please pray as Jesus has instructed.

SAY DAILY

GOD, I GIVE YOU MY LIFE IN
UNION WITH THE MASS AS AN OFFERING FOR THE SOULS, THE CHURCH AND THE
PRIESTS.

HELP US!

Messenger: Please spread this prayer. Let's offer up all we do as a sacrifice united as a body all day and pray for our priests, the Church and the world.


Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.


Messenger: Our Father, please grant mercy and forgiveness to us. Help us spread the prayers You give us and the rosary, help us do what Our Lady of Fatima has told us. I beg with all my heart that You help us to pray as You desire. Help us to be holy and please You, our beloved Father. 

 


Messenger: Pray through her powerful intercession for the building.


Messenger: We will continue to pray, until about 2:00 p.m. tomorrow in China, Indiana, before the Blessed Sacrament. We will end our 48 hours of prayer then, August 14, 2000, about 2:00. Please pray with us.

August 17, 2000, prayers 6:20, social about 7:30 at Morrow, Ohio.

August 22, 2000, live rosary, Sidney, Ohio. For information: call 1-888-211-3041 or (513) 932-4451.


August 13, 2000 - Second message

Messenger: Dear apostles,

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. Today is a special day to Mary and Jesus and we want to make reparation to Their Hearts. I see Mary in the Sorrowful Mother Statue. 

Messenger: And she seems so alive and with us. She wants us to see her looking down on us with such love.

Today we grow a little more in the realms of holiness, today we struggle, today we work, today is a gift from God.

We get up, our bones may creak, or we may feel good, but one thing is for sure, we must obey the natural laws, whether we are seeing things at the top of the mountain or not. But a lot of times our thoughts drag us through the dirt and it feels as if every thing we do is so hard because we carry a ball and chain around by what we are telling ourselves in our heads.

We must see the sunlit day. If all we do is look at the mud, we see little of the glistening sun as it warms our skins. We must look closely at the petal of the flower and take the time to notice the beauty of a baby's smile. We must smell the roses and not ignore them. We must live in Him and realize how truly temporary things are here on earth

Our hearts must be lifted up to the finer things, not gold glasses and gold plated silverware, but to those things that reflect clearly His great love for us and clearly reflect Him as Creator. We know He is ever vigilant and with us.

God is with us. No matter how tired we may feel, we can identify with Him in His passion and His glory. God is with us. Alleluia.

Light shines in the darkness.

A prayer prayed is not forgotten.

An act of love never dies.

A sweet smile on the face of one we love is long remembered.

A kind word lives on and on.

And an evil, harsh word meant to wound another may turn him to sin.

God is light, in Him there is no darkness.

We are a family, we must love each other like our own flesh and blood, not being suspicious and ungrateful, but grateful and loving, working with our heads together.

I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love and I want our lives to be one in helping to spread the Kingdom. I love you.

P.S. Please pray for 2 urgent intentions, the 13th and people, Father doing the newsletter and each other, Fernando and Perry.


Witness Letter

My journey to do and know God's will

Presented by: Paul, a Servant of the Good Shepherd

For many years I have been searching to know and do God's will.

I always knew in my heart that some day I would be doing something special.

For many years I was always attending daily Mass and saying my rosaries.

One day in 1988, in the back pew of the church, where I was attending, there was a pamphlet on Medjugorje. It said to pray three rosaries daily, fast twice a week, attend Mass, go to Communion and confession.

My prayer life intensified from then on. In that same year, I went to Medjugorje. After that I went on pilgrimages to Rome, Fatima, Lourdes, Garabandal, and to the Holy Land. In Canada: St. Joseph Oratory, Ste. Anne de Beaupres, Notre Dame de l'Assomption in my hometown of Rogersville N.B. and other places.

In 1995, Rita (a messenger) came to Delray Beach, Florida, for a prayer meeting at the Marian Center, where I was working. I asked her to pray for me that I may know our Lord's will and have direction in my life.

Two years later, she got in touch with Don and asked if we could make tapes for the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We started making tapes of Mary's message and getting more involved in the Movement. We would come to Clearwater, Florida, on the 5th of the month for the rosary. In Delray Beach, Florida, we had a prayer chapter of the Shepherds of Christ on Monday nights. I felt more and more drawn into the Movement. In July 1999, I went to Cincinnati, Ohio, and China, Indiana, for a retreat, where I read the Blue Book and prayer manual. It was a very powerful retreat. I freely decided to answer what I believe was a call from Jesus to go to Clearwater, Florida, and live there. Jesus works in strange ways at times. I have learned to know and love Jesus more and more and become closer to Him. I put my life in His hands and with the protection of Mary by my side, I trust that they will take care of me.

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)
