Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28
The Canaanite woman debates with Jesus and saves her daughter
Jesus left Gennesaret and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. Then out came a Canaanite woman from that district and started shouting, ‘Sir, Son of David, take pity on me. My daughter is tormented by a devil.’ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples went and pleaded with him. ‘Give her what she wants,’ they said ‘because she is shouting after us.’ He said in reply, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.’ But the woman had come up and was kneeling at his feet. ‘Lord,’ she said ‘help me.’ He replied, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the house-dogs.’ She retorted, ‘Ah yes, sir; but even house-dogs can eat the scraps that fall from their master’s table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your wish be granted.’ And from that moment her daughter was well again.
Lord we praise You and thank You.
Lord take pity on us, Lord help us.
Lord heal us and those we pray for.
Lord grant us a persevering faith and trust in You.

Theotokos Prayer Group 2023 - Sunday 13 August 2023
‘Lord! Save me!’ he cried. Jesus put out his hand at once and held him.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Blessings on the King who comes,
in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest heavens!
Alleluia!
Gospel - Matthew 14:22-33
Jesus walks on the water
Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he would send the crowds away. After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, while the boat, by now far out on the lake, was battling with a heavy sea, for there was a head-wind. In the fourth watch of the night he went towards them, walking on the lake, and when the disciples saw him walking on the lake they were terrified. ‘It is a ghost’ they said, and cried out in fear. But at once Jesus called out to them, saying, ‘Courage! It is I! Do not be afraid.’ It was Peter who answered. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.’ ‘Come’ said Jesus. Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water, but as soon as he felt the force of the wind, he took fright and began to sink. ‘Lord! Save me!’ he cried. Jesus put out his hand at once and held him. ‘Man of little faith,’ he said ‘why did you doubt?’ And as they got into the boat the wind dropped. The men in the boat bowed down before him and said, ‘Truly, you are the Son of God.’
Lord save us!
Lord save us from the storms and winds that batter us!
Lord save us from fear and doubt!
Lord, Son of God, save us!
Lord we trust in you, save us!
Notes from meeting on 8 August 2023
Picture of the Holy Family, baby Jesus is in the manger and the shepherds have visited, it appears that they are the only ones drawn to the light, no one else has reacted to the light above, in fact it is as though some thick material is blocking the view to most.
Then the Wise Men arrive, they too have seen the light and visit with the King, leaving those who would harm the child in ignorance!
Now we move forward to our own times and things are much the same Our King is the Light to the World and yet is ignored by many, except those true to Him.
My dear little children,
pray that Mankind will be healed of its blindness and that all persons will call on the Lord God for Mercy, and then they too shall see the Glory of the Lord God personified in Jesus my Son.
My Son is all Light, all Love, all Mercy and none can come to the Throne of the Father unless they acknowledge Him as Son of God the Most High.
My children pray for this light to penetrate the hearts and minds of all men, women and children, especially my Priest sons, so that in following the Light they may lead you ever to my Immaculate Heart which is the road quickest to my Son Jesus.

Theotokos Prayer Group 2023 - Feast of the Transfiguration - 6 August 2023
Alleluia, alleluia!
This is my Son, the Beloved:
he enjoys my favour.
Listen to him.
Alleluia!
Gospel Matthew 17:1-9
His face shone like the sun
Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain where they could be alone. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them. ‘Stand up,’ he said ‘do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but only Jesus.
As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, ‘Tell no one about the vision until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.’
Father, at the Transfiguration in glory of your Only-Begotten Son, you confirmed the mysteries of faith by the witness to Jesus of the prophets Moses and Elijah.
You foreshadowed there what we shall be when you bring our sonship to its perfection.
Grant that by listening to the voice of Jesus we may become heirs with him, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.*
*Divine Office concluding prayer for the transfiguration.
Lord transform and transfigure us by your grace that we may one day see you face to face in glory. Amen
