at the service of others

Notes of meeting on 19 August 2014

Picture of Mary on her knees beseeching the Father for extra graces for this group, her child Theotokos. In all humbleness she asked the Father that through the sacrifice of her Son Jesus He would send the Holy Spirit with another anointing for all her children.
Then a great light appeared and hovered around her, in her hands was what looked like a rainbow of all colours. The light seemed to endow her many graces which she poured upon us. This gift of extra graces is for us to carry on with the important role of praying fr all souls especially those lost to Jesus.
The graces were :
Love, Faith, Wisdom,Humbleness of Heart, Discernment, Knowledge, prayer and Perseverance especially for our brothers and sisters in Christ but also for all peoples of any grace colour or creed.

Psalm 119 v 1-8
 1 How blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of Yahweh!
2 Blessed are those who observe his instructions, who seek him with all their hearts,
3 and, doing no evil, who walk in his ways.
4 You lay down your precepts to be carefully kept.
5 May my ways be steady in doing your will.
6 Then I shall not be shamed, if my gaze is fixed on your commandments.
7 I thank you with a sincere heart for teaching me your upright judgements.
8 I shall do your will; do not ever abandon me wholly.

1 Peter 4 v 7 - 11
7 The end of all things is near, so keep your minds calm and sober for prayer.
8 Above all preserve an intense love for each other, since love covers over many a sin.
9 Welcome each other into your houses without grumbling.
10 Each one of you has received a special grace, so, like good stewards responsible for all these varied graces of God, put it at the service of others.
11 If anyone is a speaker, let it be as the words of God, if anyone serves, let it be as in strength granted by God; so that in everything God may receive the glory, through Jesus Christ, since to him alone belong all glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
