Alleluia, alleluia.
One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
Alleluia.
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.'

August is the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Alleluia, alleluia.
I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
you have revealed the secrets of the kingdom to little children.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 13:44-52
‘He sells all that he has and buys that field.’
At that time: Jesus said to the crowd: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
‘Have you understood all these things?’ They said to him, ‘Yes.’ And he said to them, ‘Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.’
Lord God, protector of those who hope in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing holy, support us always with your love.
Guide us so to use the good things of this world, that even now we may hold fast to what endures for ever.
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 21 July :
Picture of a flock of sheep with The Shepherd, they are eating rich pasture which the Shepherd has led them too.
A little lamb being adventurous makes his way to the edge of the pasture where wolves are waiting in the bushes, The Shepherd sees this but stays put, the lamb feeling really bold now decides to go in the bushes, at which point Jesus The Shepherd stands up, the little lamb hears the growls of the wolves and try’s to back off but the wolves are circling him.
The little lamb bleats for The Shepherd feeling terror and fear, he knows he should have stayed with flock, Panic is now setting in, and he thinks he is about to be lost, Then the Shepherds Crook immediately pulls him to safety!
Jesus takes him on His Shoulders and carries him to the flock!
"My dear little children,
Every time you pray through My Immaculate Heart and I magnify your prayers, your prayers become the Crook of The Shepherd of My Son Jesus.
Your prayers are helping hearts to reach out and call on Jesus!
He with such unconditional love sets to work saving, healing and loving His beloved children, the sheep and lambs of HIS Flock.
There is no sound equal to My Son’s ears than repentant words and tears, His love and healing overflows bringing about Redemption to the souls who turn to Him.
My little ones keep going even when things seem impossible, I will be with you and all will be well!
Your Mother who loves you
Mary"
Colossians 3 v 12 -17
12 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
