Crucified and Risen Lord

Notes of Praise and Intercession meeting 26 April 2011

Picture of Jesus with His Heart exposed. From the centre of His Heart came a Cross in the shape of an arrow, the tip drenched in His Blood. The arrow went up into the air and then entered the heart of the first one of us and then continued until all our hearts received His Cross. The Cross entered our hearts tip down, Blood first.

Jesus says:
If you love Me receive My Cross, the arrow of true love. This arrow of love may cause you the sweetest of pain which you will come to know as you do my will not your will. If you accept my arrow of love then pain and renunciation will turn to joy and everlasting love. Do not be afraid only be open. You shall be called brother and sister to me and daughter and son to the Father and My Mother. You will be My family, My people and I will be your Brother who loves you. We will be one. I long for this union with you My beloved flock

The Resurrection and the Cross go together there cannot be resurrection without the Cross, joy without suffering, life without death. The seed must die to bring forth new life.

Lord help us to accept our own cross and our own sufferings and from them be led by you into joy.

Crucified and Risen Lord have mercy on us
For the times we have failed to open our eyes to see
Lord have mercy on us
For the times we have failed to open our ears to hear
Lord have mercy on us
For the times we have failed to live your calling
Lord have mercy on us
For the times we have failed to be open to your Spirit
Lord have mercy on us
Crucified and Risen Lord have mercy on us

1 Corinthians 5 v 6 -7

6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough? 7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Let us pray for the unity of the Church
