Be at peace, pray at all times, the light of my Son be upon you and in you

Praise and Intercession Night 16 December 2014

Picture of the Holy Family in Bethlehem and it seemed as though all of Heaven had come to meet in that humble dwelling. The light from the baby Jesus was around every person, all the angels, Patriarchs, Martyrs and Apostles seemed to exude the Holy Spirit dwelling in the Son of God.
There were also the shepherds representing the Jewish nation, the first call on the Father's Heart, and then the Wise Men representing all gentile nations.

Our Blessed Mother picked up her Son and motioned with her hand to the empty manger and said
"Place all heartfelt prayers of petition within my Son's manger. All sorrows within families, all sorrows within Church families, all sorrows between nations, all grief , all loneliness, all sickness. My Son shall rest his light upon them."

Then Our Mother placed her baby Son on top of the petitions and everyone was touched in their hearts and adored Him. Our Mother lifted Him up and in place of all the petitions was a white garment a prayer shawl in which she wrapped Him. She said
"Be at peace, pray at all times, the light of my Son be upon you and in you. Your Mother"

Picture of Jesus on a white horse leading an army of light. They have no armour.
Against them is an army of darkness that is fully armoured. As the army of light attacks the armour of the dark forces melts away, it falters and many begin to run away. The light defeats the darkness.


I John 4 v18
In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love.

Romans 5 v 20
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound


Psalm 33
1 Shout for joy, you upright; praise comes well from the honest.
2 Give thanks to Yahweh on the lyre, play for him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song, make sweet music for your cry of victory.
4 The word of Yahweh is straightforward, all he does springs from his constancy.
5 He loves uprightness and justice; the faithful love of Yahweh fills the earth.
6 By the word of Yahweh the heavens were made, by the breath of his mouth all their array.
7 He collects the waters of the sea like a dam, he stores away the abyss in his treasure-house.
8 Let the whole earth fear Yahweh, let all who dwell in the world revere him;
9 for, the moment he spoke, it was so, no sooner had he commanded, than there it stood!
10 Yahweh thwarts the plans of nations, frustrates the counsels of peoples;
11 but Yahweh's own plan stands firm for ever, his heart's counsel from age to age.
12 How blessed the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people he has chosen as his heritage.
13 From heaven Yahweh looks down, he sees all the children of Adam,
14 from the place where he sits he watches all who dwell on the earth;
15 he alone moulds their hearts, he understands all they do.
16 A large army will not keep a king safe, nor his strength save a warrior's life;
17 it is delusion to rely on a horse for safety, for all its power it cannot save.
18 But see how Yahweh watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his faithful love,
19 to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 We are waiting for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield,
21 for in him our heart rejoices, in his holy name we trust.
22 Yahweh, let your faithful love rest on us, as our hope has rested in you.


The Lord is my refuge and stronghold
