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.

Be holy


Notes of meeting on 10 November 2015

Picture of Our Lord His Heart exposed and blood and water flowed from His side.
Our Lady stood beside Him and her Immaculate Heart was full of love.
Our Lord's Heart seemed to be on fire and within it I could see our beautiful world.
Our Lady's Immaculate Heart seemed to mimic her Son's and caught fire, then Our Lady invited us to open our hearts and be one with her Son. All hearts seemed to catch fire until the world in Jesus' Heart was cleansed and healed.
The fire gathered momentum and blazed from within and around us.
Jesus says "The fire of My love will conquer!.
Our Lady pointed to the blood and water gushing from her Son's side and says "My Son is the Temple, be holy for you are part of the body, the Temple,  the glorious new wine, the fire of the Father's love, the action of the Holy Spirit working in and around you. Be holy.
I bless you with my Son Jesus' blessing"


Philippians 2 v 1 -11
1 So if in Christ there is anything that will move you, any incentive in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any warmth or sympathy -- I appeal to you,
2 make my joy complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind.
3 Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others,
4 everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.
5 Make your own the mind of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped.
7 But he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beings are; and being in every way like a human being,
8 he was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross.
9 And for this God raised him high, and gave him the name which is above all other names;
10 so that all beings in the heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus
11 and that every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Picture of Jesus as King. Crowned and dressed in golden robes. He is blessing us.

2 Corinthians 4 v 6-11
6 It is God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' that has shone into our hearts to enlighten them with the knowledge of God's glory, the glory on the face of Christ.
7 But we hold this treasure in pots of earthenware, so that the immensity of the power is God's and not our own.
8 We are subjected to every kind of hardship, but never distressed; we see no way out but we never despair;
9 we are pursued but never cut off; knocked down, but still have some life in us;
10 always we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our body.
11 Indeed, while we are still alive, we are continually being handed over to death, for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our mortal flesh.
