I am the Queen of Peace


Notes of meeting on 5 July 2016

A picture of Jesus filling up Mary's cloak with the gift of Peace which she brings to us and showers upon us. Then she spreads her cloak on the floor and gathers up all the prayers and returns them embellished by her tears to Jesus.
She says:
"I am the Queen of Peace let your hearts be still and open, let the Peace of my Son Jesus enter your hearts.
All around you is turmoil and flux, Satan roars loudly but with the gift of my Son's Peace you can stand firm and dismiss his wiles. Pray, fast, make sacrifice for others who don't know or even refute Him, for they will be without peace and so are open to attacks and with no armour.
My dearest Children your Mother loves all, but you must especially work hard now in prayer for your prayers will be magnified by my Son when I present them to Him and so many souls that would be lost will be saved.
Even in these critical times I am with you and continually intercede for you.
I bless you with my Motherly blessing in the Peace of Jesus my Son."

The gift of Peace which is received in our hearts is like a pebble thrown into the water  - its ripples extend outward from ourselves to our family, friends, colleagues and out into the wider world.

Mark 4 v 26-34
26 He also said, 'This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the land.
27 Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake, the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know.
28 Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 And when the crop is ready, at once he starts to reap because the harvest has come.'
30 He also said, 'What can we say that the kingdom is like? What parable can we find for it?
31 It is like a mustard seed which, at the time of its sowing, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth.
32 Yet once it is sown it grows into the biggest shrub of them all and puts out big branches so that the birds of the air can shelter in its shade.'
33 Using many parables like these, he spoke the word to them, so far as they were capable of understanding it.
34 He would not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything to his disciples when they were by themselves.
