Pray extra hard for your priests

Notes of meeting on 23 October 2018

Picture of Jesus being baptised in the Jordan River. As Jesus came up out of the water those around Him looked on in amazement because they saw and heard the Holy Spirit and the Father speaking.
There were others in the crowd who saw and heard nothing, these were the spies of the Jewish Authorities who were always watching John, they saw nothing but could feel the quietness as though the earth stood still for a minute.
Mary says:
" My children, my Son is Divine it is true but He is also human just like you. When He was baptised He was showing to you that He is your brother in the flesh and that His Divinity was humbled for love of you.
Think about Him serving His disciples by washing their feet. My children I want you to look hard at your lives, like my Son Jesus you are a living example, yes you have made mistakes and you sin but do others feel drawn to you because in your humility you ask pardon and visit the Sacrament of Penance, do others see the changes in you, I would say in most yes but we can always do better.
Let the love and forgiveness of others be always present, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and strengthen you.
Also my children could you, will you pray extra hard for your priests, they although men like you, are subjected to the evil one more and more. They need the bulwark of your prayers like a citadel to keep them safe. Remember they may be just men but they are men who can become saints with your prayers for they touch the Living Christ every day.
Remember you are examples also of the Living Christ and as such will draw others to my Son Jesus. Mary."




Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 4
My child, do not cheat the poor of their living,
    and do not keep needy eyes waiting.
Do not grieve the hungry,
    or anger one in need.
Do not add to the troubles of the desperate,
    or delay giving to the needy.
Do not reject a suppliant in distress,
    or turn your face away from the poor.
Do not avert your eye from the needy,
    and give no one reason to curse you;
for if in bitterness of soul some should curse you,
    their Creator will hear their prayer.

Endear yourself to the congregation;
    bow your head low to the great.
Give a hearing to the poor,
    and return their greeting politely.
Rescue the oppressed from the oppressor;
    and do not be hesitant in giving a verdict.
10 Be a father to orphans,
    and be like a husband to their mother;
you will then be like a son of the Most High,
    and he will love you more than does your mother.
11 Wisdom teaches her children
    and gives help to those who seek her.
12 Whoever loves her loves life,
    and those who seek her from early morning are filled with joy.
13 Whoever holds her fast inherits glory,
    and the Lord blesses the place she enters.
14 Those who serve her minister to the Holy One;
    the Lord loves those who love her.
15 Those who obey her will judge the nations,
    and all who listen to her will live secure.
16 If they remain faithful, they will inherit her;
    their descendants will also obtain her.
17 For at first she will walk with them on tortuous paths;
    she will bring fear and dread upon them,
and will torment them by her discipline
    until she trusts them,
and she will test them with her ordinances.
18 Then she will come straight back to them again and gladden them,
    and will reveal her secrets to them.
19 If they go astray she will forsake them,
    and hand them over to their ruin.
20 Watch for the opportune time, and beware of evil,
    and do not be ashamed to be yourself.
21 For there is a shame that leads to sin,
    and there is a shame that is glory and favour.
22 Do not show partiality, to your own harm,
    or deference, to your downfall.
23 Do not refrain from speaking at the proper moment,
    and do not hide your wisdom.
24 For wisdom becomes known through speech,
    and education through the words of the tongue.
25 Never speak against the truth,
    but be ashamed of your ignorance.
26 Do not be ashamed to confess your sins,
    and do not try to stop the current of a river.
27 Do not subject yourself to a fool,
    or show partiality to a ruler.
28 Fight to the death for truth,
    and the Lord God will fight for you.
29 Do not be reckless in your speech,
    or sluggish and remiss in your deeds.
30 Do not be like a lion in your home,
    or suspicious of your servants.
31 Do not let your hand be stretched out to receive
    and closed when it is time to give.

Come back to Me

Notes of meeting 16 October 2018

Picture of many Tabernacles in many Churches, the doors of the Tabernacles were wide open. Blood, flesh, skin, hair, thorns and nails flowed out right through the Churches. Angels descended and collected every piece of flesh, skin, hair, thorn and nail taking them up to Heaven.
All that remained was Our Lord's Blood which flowed out past the congregation into the streets.
The Blood had a voice saying "Come back to Me My Beloved that you might once again be held in my Heart surrounded by My Blood and made clean. Oh come, come back My Children."
The Blood called and called and it now seemed to be mixed with the tears of Jesus calling for ever calling that they would be safe and made clean.
Mary says:
"My dear children your Saviour Jesus suffers so in His adorable body for love of you, He feels all things deep in His Heart and did all that was good for love of you.
Please my children add your prayers and sacrifices to His that He might know the deep Joy of His lost children returning to Him in the sheepfold of the Father.
I implore you to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to pour graces upon those who are cold, pagan and in some cases detest your Saviour.
Jesus never stops loving you my children, aid Him by standing firm with Him.
I bless you and pray for you in the Blood of my Son Jesus. Mary."


Luke 12 v 22 -34
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?  26 If then you are not able to do so small a thing as that, why do you worry about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not keep striving for what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not keep worrying. 30 For it is the nations of the world that strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, strive for his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Be as Holy as you can

 Notes of meeting on 9 October 2018

Picture of Mary and Joseph in their home at Nazareth. Our Blessed Mother was making a tiny garment and Joseph was fashioning a babies bed. Our Blessed Mother was singing sweetly Psalms and songs and the Child Jesus of about 6 months within her womb responded by moving to her sweet voice.
In this home there was so much love between the Child Jesus within her and Mary and Joseph. This chaste love permeated their home and their lives as they waited for their Child and their King.
Joseph beckons us to come in.
Our Blessed Mother opens her arms wide to allow us her children to come close and listen.
We can all hear the Jesus' little heart beat and as we come closer his heartbeat gets faster and we all sing a little lullaby to Him and His heart seems to blow little kisses to us until He becomes still and rests.
Mary says: "My children when you see the things of this World and they disturb you remember this time of Holiness and waiting for God's son Jesus to be born.
The Hope of the World is just as important now as then in fact more so.
Do not lose Hope for Holiness and Goodness will prevail.
Hard times yes, but God gives you strength to carry on.
Prayer is your weapon against my adversary and the firm Hope in Our Saviour Jesus Christ the tiny child considered an irrelevance in this World but whose Justice is like a two edged sword.
All my children if you only knew how much He loves you, each of you, you would fear nothing not even death for those who love Him will be with Him and no other happiness you can think of will come close to the Joy between you and my Son when you meet.
So my little ones be as Holy as you can, praying, fasting, reading the Word and above all in loving your fellow brothers and sisters drawing them closer to Jesus with your prayers and little sacrifices.
I sing a love song to my Son on your behalf and pray for strength and perseverance that you be strong in your innermost selves loving the Triune God always. Mary."

Picture of Jesus leading Mary into the group and Jesus says "I can refuse her nothing".


Matthew 6 v 5 - 14
“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
“When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
“Pray then in this way:
Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name.
10     Your kingdom come.
    Your will be done,
        on earth as it is in heaven.
11     Give us this day our daily bread.
12     And forgive us our debts,
        as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13     And do not bring us to the time of trial,
        but rescue us from the evil one.
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
