Love, Faith, Hope, Joy and Peace

Notes of meeting on 9 November

Luke 17:6 (New International Version)

6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

A picture of Our Lady at the Annunciation where in faith she said "yes" to becoming the Mother of Jesus the Son of God. At His birth she looked on Him in love, wonder and awe.
We too can have this faith, the wonder, this awe or fear of the Lord. If like her we believe in his word we will grow in grace and promise as he did. If we thank him and praise him all things will be revealed and the light of faith in us will stir up men's hearts and draw them to the Heart of Jesus and his Blessed Mother.
The picture then moved to reveal a jewelled crown and the main jewels in the front were LOVE FAITH HOPE JOY. On the base of the crown was Theotokos, all these gifts are here for us in the group if we only open our minds and allow the Spirit to work in us. We cannot earn this crown because it is freely given. We need faith to grasp it and move with the Holy Spirit


Notes of meeting on 16 November

Again a picture of a crown with the four jewels of LOVE FAITH HOPE JOY and again on the base Theotokos. this time there was a cross piece on top saying PEACE.
Our Lady had her arms outstretched and was extending the crown over us inviting us to take it and put it on. When we put it on it will act much like a helmet of protection like that in Ephesians - the Helmet of Salvation.
This crown is a gift and no matter what befalls us as a group and individually we will be at peace. Our minds will be protected from the arrows and games of the evil one,Satan. This crown will be custom made for each one of us and will help us in our work for Our Blessed Mother and her Son Jesus. Our hearts and minds will be so at peace we will be able to do the Father's will and intercede for mankind. Our Mother was smiling and happy as each one took it and placed it upon our heads because we were willing to be instruments for Jesus. Mary and Jesus will never leave us in this mission, for this mission is to help win souls from the darkness into the Glorious Light and even though Satan will try to test us we will stand firm with Jesus at our side.
"Be at Peace"

Baruch 5 (Good News Translation)

Baruch 5
1 Jerusalem, take off the clothes you have worn in your mourning and distress, and put on the eternal splendor of God's glory.2 Put around you the cloak of God's righteousness. Place on your head the crown of the glory of the Eternal God.3 God will show your splendor to every nation on earth.4 Forever he will say to you:Your security comes from your righteousness, and your splendour from your devotion to me.
5 Get up, Jerusalem, stand on the mountaintop; see where God, the Holy One, is bringing your children together from the east and from the west. They are rejoicing that God has remembered them.6 Jerusalem, your children were led away by their enemies; they left you on foot, but God is bringing them back to you, carried in royal splendor.7 God has commanded that every high mountain and the everlasting hills shall be made low; he has commanded that the valleys shall be filled and the ground leveled, so that the people of Israel may come safely home in the glory of God.8 At the command of God, forests of fragrant trees will spring up to provide shade for the people of Israel.9 God will lead Israel home. They will return with great joy, guided by his mercy and righteousness, surrounded by the light of his glorious presence.


John 14 v 27
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Romans 13 v 8
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”10 Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
