Called to serve

Notes of Meeting 14 August 2012

Picture of Our Lady we had all arrived at her house she led us to a cool courtyard where vines kept the heat of the day out. She put out soft towels and fresh cool water to refresh and cleanse ourselves with. She went off and returned with plates of grapes, figs, bread and cheese. She asked us to sit down and share her meal with her. She said grace thanking the Father for the food and for us and as she finished Jesus came and sat with us.
There was much laughter, good will and love around the table each sharing his company no one trying to be the best or anything like that. Jesus was very happy. Mary started to clear away and she would have no help but told us to listen to Jesus.
Jesus then said he would speak a private special word with each person present and all of us eagerly waited for his or her turn. Each person returned to the courtyard filled, anointed, happy and blissful brimming with his words, aching with his love and wanting to impart this wonderful feeling with others.

I felt Our Lady who shared her simple feast with us was in fact telling us to do the same! We have a feast of blessings and gifts which others need to meet Jesus personally as we have. We have these blessing and gifts by the grace of God and we need to lead others to this encounter of grace with God.

Matthew 20 v 25-28
25 But Jesus called them to him and said, 'You know that among the gentiles the rulers lord it over them, and great men make their authority felt.
26 Among you this is not to happen. No; anyone who wants to become great among you must be your servant,
27 and anyone who wants to be first among you must be your slave,
28 just as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'


Luke 13 v 18-30
18 He went on to say, 'What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with?
19 It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden: it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air sheltered in its branches.'
20 Again he said, 'What shall I compare the kingdom of God with?
21 It is like the yeast a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour till it was leavened all through.'
22 Through towns and villages he went teaching, making his way to Jerusalem.
23 Someone said to him, 'Sir, will there be only a few saved?' He said to them,
24 'Try your hardest to enter by the narrow door, because, I tell you, many will try to enter and will not succeed.
25 'Once the master of the house has got up and locked the door, you may find yourself standing outside knocking on the door, saying, "Lord, open to us," but he will answer, "I do not know where you come from."
26 Then you will start saying, "We once ate and drank in your company; you taught in our streets,"
27 but he will reply, "I do not know where you come from; away from me, all evil doers!"
28 'Then there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrown out.
29 And people from east and west, from north and south, will come and sit down at the feast in the kingdom of God.
30 'Look, there are those now last who will be first, and those now first who will be last.'


Matthew 11 v 2 -6
2 Now John had heard in prison what Christ was doing and he sent his disciples to ask him,
3 'Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?'
4 Jesus answered, 'Go back and tell John what you hear and see;
5 the blind see again, and the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin-diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life and the good news is proclaimed to the poor;
6 and blessed is anyone who does not find me a cause of falling.'


I died for you, rose for you, ascended for you.
I want to fill you with My Power.
I desire to fill you with My Spirit.
To fill you with My Love, to fill you with My Mercy, to fill you with My Healing.
My children I love you, how much I love you.
