Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No 36

 



Gospel, Mark 8:27-35
27 Jesus and his disciples left for the villages round Caesarea Philippi. On the way he put this question to his disciples, 'Who do people say I am?'
28 And they told him, 'John the Baptist, others Elijah, others again, one of the prophets.'
29 'But you,' he asked them, 'who do you say I am?' Peter spoke up and said to him, 'You are the Christ.'
30 And he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone about him.
31 Then he began to teach them that the Son of man was destined to suffer grievously, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to rise again;
32 and he said all this quite openly. Then, taking him aside, Peter tried to rebuke him.
33 But, turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said to him, 'Get behind me, Satan! You are thinking not as God thinks, but as human beings do.'
34 He called the people and his disciples to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me.
35 Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.

A picture of an empty tomb.

"My people who do you say I Am?
Do you deep in your heart believe that I Am the Risen Christ and that I reside in your heart, or do you pay me lip service and appear to do all that is right in the eyes of others? 
If you know Me as I know you, you will invite Me continually into your heart and spend time with Me, till after some time you will appear more and more like Me, in mind, body and spirit, you will fall often but when you call me to forgive you, I will wipe out every sin and so we are at one again. 
My people there are many who still do not avail themselves of My Sacraments, if only they would frequent them, they could become saints, ask continually to bend your will to that of the Living God My Father, He will send the Holy Spirit and He will guide you ever closer to My Sacred Heart and the most Immaculate Heart of My Mother, together we will overcome all that is not of Me and you will truly become One Body, One Bread! 
Pray for those who ignore and are indifferent to the Holy Spirit, pray for My Priest sons that they stand strong in the truth and pray for courage that they whom I love as My own flesh should bring My Holy Word to the people I so long for. 
I your Jesus love you with an unending love.
Jesus"


Extract from the book Our Lady's Message of Mercy to the World:
"My child don't think bad of life's little ups and downs. Where there is the cross you can be sure there is joy..
Out of simple desires come blossoms of holiness."
