Gospel: Mark 11:1-10
Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord.
When they drew near to Jerusalem,
to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them,
‘Go into the village opposite you,
and immediately as you enter it
you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat;
untie it and bring it.
If any one says to you,
“Why are you doing this?” say,
“The Lord has need of it
and will send it back here immediately.”’
And they went away,
and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street;
and they untied it.
And those who stood there said to them,
‘What are you doing, untying the colt?’
And they told them what Jesus had said;
and they let them go.
And they brought the colt to Jesus,
and threw their garments on it;
and he sat upon it.
And many spread their garments on the road,
and others spread leafy branches
which they had cut from the fields.
And those who went before
and those who followed cried out,
‘Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming!
Hosanna in the highest!’
Praise to you, O Christ, king of eternal glory!
Christ was humbler yet,
even to accepting death, death on a cross.
But God raised him high
and gave him the name which is above all names.
Praise to you, O Christ, king of eternal glory!
Gospel: Mark 14:1-15:47
The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark
Notes from Meeting on 19 March 2024
Picture
A Picture of a shiny tap open and gushing water, but the pipe bringing the water starts to go rusty and so the water is lost and not much comes out of the tap!
Then a picture of many people at the foot a hill where there was a gushing stream but somehow the flow is stopped by debris and rotten greenery.
People are coming together to undo the damage and clamber up and clean all the debris out and so the stream flows again at full force. Those that have helped in this return to the bottom and bring many with them to drink of the crystal clear waters.
"My dear little ones,
My adversary tries every way to stop my Son’s Word from flourishing in the hearts of Mankind. Be on your guard, keeping your hearts in union with my Son Jesus, then His Love, His Word, His Strength, His Courage, will flow over your souls and so refresh your weary bodies and minds. Then you will lead others to the Waters of Life and none will be thirsty again.
The more you pray and make sacrifice my children, the more the Holy Spirit will act and so bring poor souls who are thirsty for His Love to turn to Him.
My little ones you often wonder if your prayers are effective or if the Father hears them.
I am your Mother and I say to you, NO prayer is ever disregarded, in fact the prayer of a returned penitent is very precious in our eyes.
I cover you with my Motherly mantle, let your prayers irrigate the aridity of your own and Mankind’s hearts.
I ask you for prayers for all Religious but especially my Priest sons whom are so dear to my Motherly Heart.
Mary"
We adore You O Christ and we praise You , because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
