Mother of God - Theotokos

8 September 2009



Happy Birthday to Our Lady



Thank you Lord for the gift of Your Mother and Our Mother





Prayer of Theotokos Prayer Group:


Heavenly Father I ask you to bless our group Theotokos, send your Spirit upon us so that we will be witnesses to the living light of Jesus in our lives.

You chose Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit to become the first tabernacle to hold your Son Jesus in her womb, thereofe, I ask Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother, to bear us into holiness.

Teach us how to listen to the Voice of God in the stillness of our hearts and live in His presence, offering all our joys and sorrows, for His Honour and Glory.

Teach us to pray for the conversion of our hearts and the conversion of the world, so that we may become faithful ambassadors of Your Son, Jesus.

Amen


Jude 17-24


A Call to Remain Faithful
17 But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ said. 18 They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. 19 These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.
20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
22 And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.
A Prayer of Praise
24 Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. 25 All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.
