A Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Notes of meeting on 20 December 2016

Picture of Our Blessed Mother holding the tiny baby Jesus right here in our midst.
She beckoned us to come to kiss Him.
She says "Greet my Son, your brother, He is little and in need of many kisses and your outpouring of love."
She lifted the cover back and all of us each in turn kissed his sweet head and as we did so the light from His face filled our hearts. It was as though we missed a breath, we all knew with out exception that this was Our King.
Our Mother lifted Him up saying "I present to you the Light of the World; you too must be lights in this ever increasing darkness, receive the gift of my favour, you will go forth strong in the Lord and do His work helping to prepare souls. For this is my gift to you that Jesus shall reside in each ones heart to fortify you against all that is set against you for Our Father's Will in Heaven will be completed through my Son and those who cooperate with His graces.
I love you my little group and all who love my Son but my heart is despondent with love for those who know Jesus not.
I bless you with my Maternal Blessing, the Peace of baby Jesus reign in your hearts this year.
Mary your Mother."



Luke 2 v 1 - 20
1 Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world.
2 This census -- the first -- took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria,
3 and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.
4 So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David's town called Bethlehem, since he was of David's House and line,
5 in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
6 Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child,
7 and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living-space.
8 In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night.
9 An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified,
10 but the angel said, 'Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people.
11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
12 And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.'
13 And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words:
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace for those he favours.
15 Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let us go to Bethlehem and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.'
16 So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
17 When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him,
18 and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them.
19 As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.
