Gospel - John 14:1-12
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God still, and trust in me.
There are many rooms in my Father’s house;
if there were not, I should have told you.
I am going now to prepare a place for you,
and after I have gone and prepared you a place,
I shall return to take you with me;
so that where I am
you may be too.
You know the way to the place where I am going.’
Thomas said, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus said:
‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No one can come to the Father except through me.
If you know me, you know my Father too.
From this moment you know him and have seen him.’
Philip said, ‘Lord, let us see the Father and then we shall be satisfied.’ ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip,’ said Jesus to him ‘and you still do not know me?
‘To have seen me is to have seen the Father,
so how can you say, “Let us see the Father”?
Do you not believe
that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The words I say to you I do not speak as from myself:
it is the Father, living in me, who is doing this work.
You must believe me when I say
that I am in the Father and the Father is in me;
believe it on the evidence of this work, if for no other reason.
I tell you most solemnly,
whoever believes in me
will perform the same works as I do myself,
he will perform even greater works,
because I am going to the Father.’
Lord help us follow you as the Way.
Lord help us know you as the Truth.
Lord help us live in Your Life.
Notes from Meeting on 2 May 2023
Picture
Picture of a small lamb trying to keep up with the flock, the lamb seems to be on its own with no mother, it is bruised, tired and nearly at the end of its strength.
As the flock enters the sheep fold and meets Jesus, He immediately searches out the little lamb and Jesus pours water on his bruised body, binding the bruises where necessary. Jesus sits down and takes the little lamb on His lap and comforts him holding him close to His Heart, Jesus speaks comforting Words so the little lamb feels secure, loved and comfortable and falls into a deep healing sleep.
"My dear little children,
I urge you to be like my Son Jesus and look out for the young and little ones, watch over them be vigilant and protect them with your prayers, but most of all love them.
Help them with wise words, pointing always to my Son Jesus. My adversary tries to lure these little innocents to cause them harm and so pull them away from my Son.
You my children have real power to deflect this onslaught with prayer, fasting and sacrifice. I ask each of you to align your prayers to the Holy Spirit and place them into the Will of the Father most High and I will magnify your prayers before them, together we will not only counter my adversary, but bring the little ones to Jesus into safe haven, for His Thirst for them makes Him delirious.
I am with you in all your prayers, sacrifices and fasting,
together we will help bring to my Son all the little souls.
Mary"
