Alleluia, alleluia.
You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church,
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 16:13-20
‘You are Peter, and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.’
At that time: When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter replied, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.’ Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Lord, by your grace we are made one in mind and heart.
Give us a love for what you command and a longing for what you promise, so that, amid this world’s changes,
our hearts may be set on the world of lasting joy.
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 18 August
Picture
Picture of a person who is on the edge of an abyss which leads to everlasting fire.
This person is on their own, no way back only down!
Blessed Mother is calling us to pray with love, humility and pity in our hearts!
The prayers placed in Her Immaculate Heart cause her Heart to start pouring with drops of heartfelt tears, these tears, filled with love and pity become a fountain which comes before Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus pours forth with the Blood of Mercy, the flow of Mercy surrounds the person and pulls him back into the arms of Our Lord!
"My dear little children
I exhort you to pray through My Immaculate Heart for what seem like lost causes and poor souls destined to be apart from Heaven!
If you only knew how much power a simple prayer has that is said from your heart in humility and in earnest love, then when magnified by My immaculate Heart, Jesus cannot resist because He loves you, and He loves this Mother so much! His Justice melts!
It is simple, pray with Me and we will help to bring the lost to Jesus!
I cover you with my Maternal Mantle and keep you from harm.
Your Mother,
Mary"
2 Thessalonians 2 verses 13-17
13 But we must always thank God for you, brothers whom the Lord loves, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved by the Spirit who makes us holy and by faith in the truth.
14 Through our gospel he called you to this so that you should claim as your own the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Stand firm, then, brothers, and keep the traditions that we taught you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who has given us his love and, through his grace, such ceaseless encouragement and such sure hope,
17 encourage you and strengthen you in every good word and deed.

August is the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen
Alleluia, alleluia.
Mary has been taken up into heaven;
the host of angels rejoice.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 1:39-56
‘He who is mighty has done great things for me; he has exalted those of humble estate.’
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.’
And Mary said,
‘My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;
he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring for ever.’
Almighty, ever-living God, you have taken the mother of your Son, the immaculate Virgin Mary, body and soul into the glory where you dwell.
Keep our hearts set on heaven so that, with her, we may share in your glory.
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 4th August
Picture
Picture of the World, standing out is Great Britain, upon our country is the Ciborium with the Holy Host raised dripping blood.
The whole country is lit up with radiant light!
Light flows above around and under Britain, the rays get stronger the more people pray!
The prayer is magnified by the Immaculate Heart of Blessed Mother and so shoots off in all directions around the World flowing over immense parts of the World. Many people praying in countries join these prayers and more and more light dispels the darkness until the whole World seems on fire with light!
"My little ones,
This is the immensity of prayer said with humility and love!
Prayer can move mountains.
Prayer can mitigate and stop wars.
Pray with Me from your hearts and together we shall win souls for My Dear Son Jesus!
My children there is so much that is good brought about by deep prayer and sacrifice!
You are not alone, I will protect you from My adversary!
Come My little ones, the flower of My Heart and immerse yourselves in My Motherly Arms.
Mary"
Revelation 7 v7-12
9 After that I saw that there was a huge number, impossible for anyone to count, of people from every nation, race, tribe and language; they were standing in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palms in their hands. They shouted in a loud voice,
10 'Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'
11 And all the angels who were standing in a circle round the throne, surrounding the elders and the four living creatures, prostrated themselves before the throne, and touched the ground with their foreheads, worshipping God
12 with these words: Amen. Praise and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honour and power and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.
O blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon England thy "Dowry" and upon us all who greatly hope and trust in thee. By thee it was that Jesus our Saviour and our hope was given unto the world; and He has given thee to us that we might hope still more. Plead for us thy children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the supreme Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we may all deserve to see and praise God, together with thee, in our heavenly home.
Amen.
