Alleluia, alleluia.
I long for you, O Lord,
my soul longs for his word.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 14:22-33
‘Command me to come to you on the water.’
After the crowd had eaten and were satisfied: Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, ‘It is a ghost!’ and they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.’ And Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’ He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ‘Lord, save me.’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’
Almighty, ever-living God, we confidently call you Father as well as Lord.
Renew your Spirit in our hearts:
make us ever more perfectly your children, so that we may enter upon the inheritance you have promised us.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Gospel: Matthew 14:13-21
‘They all ate and were satisfied.’
At that time: When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.’ But Jesus said, ‘They need not go away; you give them something to eat.’ They said to him, ‘We have only five loaves here and two fish.’ And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’ Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
We recognize with joy that you, Lord, created us, and that you guide us by your providence.
In your unfailing kindness, support us in our prayer:
renew your life within us, guard it and make it bear fruit for eternity.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Notes from meeting on 28 July 2026:
Picture of Our Lord, he is in kingly vestments and wearing a Triple Crown upon His head, He has a large orb in His left hand and a golden sword in the other.
The orb is held close to His Heart and many colours emanate from it, it is in fact the World with all that the Father created upon, in and around It.
Jesus with All Authority from the Father and the aid of The Holy Spirit is defending His Creation from the adversary!
"My dear little children,
each of you is part of the Body of My Son Jesus, you feel tired and dispirited but My Son Jesus comes to heal you, invigorate you, defend you and love you.
You see Him in His glorious apparel but he comes to each as a beggar to implore you in your Innermost hearts to keep going. Keep praying for yourselves, your families, your countries and most importantly His Body the Church. Pray for all Religious!
Make your hearts and minds like His, make your feet and hands like His for did He not promise that you My little ones would do great things for the Glory Of God?
Yes My little ones, in humility you shall flourish and the adversary will be astounded!
I am your most loving and maternal Mother, fear nothing but come to My Son Jesus, if you knew the joys that await each of you, your hearts would resound with the Angels and you would weep with joy.
Mary."
From a little book about Encouragement. The reading it used was Hebrews 10 v 22-25.
Titled 'Encourage one another'...
'Let us come near to God with a sincere heart and a sure faith, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water. Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise. Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good. Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing. Instead, let us encourage one another all the more, since you see that the day of the Lord is coming nearer.'
