Notes of Meeting on 16 February 2010

Picture of Mary with the child Jesus the angels are exultant at the birth of Jesus.
The angels are more exultant at Jesus' passion and death on the Cross; even more exultant at his resurrection; and yet more exultant at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
This outpouring of the Holy Spirit is still taking place and the angels are still exultant - let us rejoice in the Victory of God and Christ over the Evil one.

2 Tim 1 v 3 - 14

Give us your Spirit of power, love and self-control
Let us not be ashamed of the Gospel; let us live in the truth given us by the Spirit


Notes of Meeting 9 February 2010

2 Tim 2 v 14 - 26

Theotokos

Notes of meeting 26 January 2010

Picture of Mary standing on a rock with us at her feet with the evil one crushed under her foot, he cannot harm us. She is fashioning Theotokos into a crown which she places us within the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Picture of Jesus on a rock He is resplendent in light and glory. His Sacred Heart is beating with love for us. Despite sinfulness our hurts and sufferings he continues to love us


Notes of meeting 12 January 2010

Picture of the Child Jesus with his arms outstretched he is overshadowed by the Cross
The Life of Jesus passes from birth to his mission his death and then his resurrection - all his life is offered as sacrifice for us and in obedience to the Father .

Mark 9 - Transfiguration - Listen to Him



Notes of meeting 15 December 2009

Picture of Our Lady holding a candle with her candle she lights a candle in each of our hearts.
These lights light up columns to reveal a Temple with no roof.
In the temple is the Child Jesus who then himself light us the Temple.

Let my Peace come down like the morning dew to water the seed to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit and help me heal my people.

2 Corinthians 2 v 14

Matthew 9 healing of the blind man

Do we limit the Spirit as we limit water in a tap - do we want to control the Spirit rather than let it control us
