We need funds.

    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:            I pray for the world and for our

                            priests.

                                Our Divine God comes to me in the

                            Eucharist and I receive Him.

                                My heart can hardly take the impact

                            of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It

                            is summed up in the words —

                                God loves us so much, He gives

                            Himself to us.

                                I know more and more the power of

                            the Mass. My heart burns so deeply

                            for love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

                            and I pray so deeply to God especially

                            at the consecration of the Mass —

                            praying in such deep love inside me for

                            the souls of the earth and our beloved

                            priests.

                                I want to stay in the Mass, I want to

                            receive Him in the Holy Eucharist and

                            this intensity of His love for me

                            I feel, I want it never to end.

                            I just want to be one in Him —

                            so one, I love God, Father, Son and

                            Holy Spirit so very much, so deeply.

                            I give Him all my cares, all my concerns

                            I have in trying to promote His Kingdom,

                            I give Him myself and I want Him to

                            come to me.

                                He is truly present.

                                He is the Almighty God.

                                The Mass is so powerful —

                            I pray to be so deeply united to Him, I cry

                            I want Him so very much, I long for

                            Him to be engulfed by His love —

                                to be possessed by God.

                                Oh my God at the Holy, Holy, I sing

                            Your praise from all my soul, I

                            love You so much. I love the Father,

                            Son and Holy Spirit. Oh God I love

                            You.

                                My life is centered around the Mass.

                            My delight is to go and to receive Him,

                            my beloved.

                            I sing

                                Oh God, my God, I love You —

                                Oh God, my God I love You

                            like the words of the song from my

                            daughter.

                                Oh God, my God, I love You, I love

                            You, I love You.

                                To be in this intensity of union with Him.

                            to sit and just be with Him.

                            It is the Eucharist —

                                I long to be before Him truly present

                                    in the consecrated host.

                                I love Him so deeply inside.

                                I want to be with Him in Church.

                                I want to go to Mass, that is my

                                    delight.

                                Jesus Christ is truly present in the

                                    consecrated host.

                                The Mass is such a gift.

                                I run to Him, my Divine God.

                                He is my all.

                                He is everything to me.

English speaking priestly mailing.
