Question: Is the statement “Jesus, pray for us” correct? It’s like saying: God, pray for us...that is strange.

God’s answer:

Cut and dried
“in My name” only. You say it as it is.

Meaning: The expression cut and dried means: "having a clear and definite quality that does not allow doubt or that cannot be changed; being or done according to a plan, set procedure, or formula."¹ When we take the phrase ”in Jesus Christ’s name” and revise it to “Jesus, pray for us” or “through Jesus Christ”, we change its meaning.

Question: Why don’t we ask “in the name of the Holy Spirit” or say “in the name of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit”?

God’s answer:

I AM that I AM
It is superfluous

Meaning: Superfluous means:” unnecessary, especially through being more than enough.”² It is superfluous because The Holy Spirit is the Father. This will be discussed in Chapter 22.

Question: Can You give me a sculpture that I can give to people to use when they pray to help them connect to You.

God’s answer:

The Blessed Sacrament.

I Am habit forming.

Meaning: God’s advice is for me to tell people to go to a Blessed Sacrament chapel (Adoration chapel) and pray there. If you do not have access to an Adoration chapel nearby, here’s a website that has a live image of the Blessed Sacrament 24/7: http://www.savior.org

Please see Chapter 20: Special Prayers on a God-given prayer when visiting the Blessed Sacrament.
