January Prayer Intention
At the start of the New Year we ask God's blessing on the year ahead and ask him to be with us as we continue our journey together.
Heavenly Father I ask you to bless our group Theotokos. Send your Spirit upon us so that we will be witnesses to the living light of Jesus in our lives. You chose Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit to become the first tabernacle to hold your Son Jesus in her womb, therefore I ask Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother, to bear us into holiness. Teach us to listen to the voice of God in the stillness of our hearts and live in his presence offering all our joys and sorrows for his honour and glory. Teach us to pray for the conversion of our hearts and the conversion of the world so that we may become faithful ambassadors of your Son, Jesus. Amen
Mary Mother of God 'Theotokos' Pray for us.

A Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
Notes of meeting on 20 December 2016
Picture of Our Blessed Mother holding the tiny baby Jesus right here in our midst.
She beckoned us to come to kiss Him.
She says "Greet my Son, your brother, He is little and in need of many kisses and your outpouring of love."
She lifted the cover back and all of us each in turn kissed his sweet head and as we did so the light from His face filled our hearts. It was as though we missed a breath, we all knew with out exception that this was Our King.
Our Mother lifted Him up saying "I present to you the Light of the World; you too must be lights in this ever increasing darkness, receive the gift of my favour, you will go forth strong in the Lord and do His work helping to prepare souls. For this is my gift to you that Jesus shall reside in each ones heart to fortify you against all that is set against you for Our Father's Will in Heaven will be completed through my Son and those who cooperate with His graces.
I love you my little group and all who love my Son but my heart is despondent with love for those who know Jesus not.
I bless you with my Maternal Blessing, the Peace of baby Jesus reign in your hearts this year.
Mary your Mother."
Luke 2 v 1 - 20
1 Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world.
2 This census -- the first -- took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria,
3 and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town.
4 So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David's town called Bethlehem, since he was of David's House and line,
5 in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
6 Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child,
7 and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living-space.
8 In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night.
9 An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified,
10 but the angel said, 'Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people.
11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
12 And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.'
13 And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words:
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace for those he favours.
15 Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let us go to Bethlehem and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.'
16 So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
17 When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him,
18 and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them.
19 As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

Christmas Greetings
Wishing you all the blessings and peace of Christmas
Theotokos Prayer Group's last meeting of the year will be on 20 December 2016 and will meet again in the New Year on 10 January 2017
Cleanse your hearts so that all is ready to receive my Son Jesus
Notes of meeting on 13 December 2016
Picture of Our Lady heavily pregnant standing among us in this group.
She came up to each person individually and we each in turn presented our hearts to her.
She took out a polishing cloth and rubbed each one in turn until it burnished. She was looking for the mark of the Cross within.
She says:
"My children the way of the Cross is not only the way to Salvation but is also the way to Peace. Cleanse your hearts so that all is ready to receive my Son Jesus, for I tell you, you will be mesmerised by His Beauty and receive every grace at his birth.
This year the Holy Spirit will act in each of you in a special way for this is my year of favour for you. This group will carry out my intentions through prayer, fasting and penance for all poor souls in need of my Son Jesus' mercy.
You will be immersed in my maternal blessing that everything will be accomplished and so dear children of my heart make ready and all will be well. Know that all of Heaven reaches out to you in this my mission for you. As the Angel Gabriel said to me 'Oh Highly Favoured One' so too are you to participate in the redemption of your brothers and sisters, their very souls are at risk from the evil one, and so I have sought this mission through my own personal favour.
I bless you with my maternal blessing through the Holy Spirit receive my Son's Peace.
Luke 1 v 39 -56
39 Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah.
40 She went into Zechariah's house and greeted Elizabeth.
41 Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42 She gave a loud cry and said, 'Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
43 Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?
44 Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy.
45 Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.'
46 And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;
48 because he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant. Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name,
50 and his faithful love extends age after age to those who fear him.
51 He has used the power of his arm, he has routed the arrogant of heart.
52 He has pulled down princes from their thrones and raised high the lowly.
53 He has filled the starving with good things, sent the rich away empty.
54 He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his faithful love
55 -according to the promise he made to our ancestors -- of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.
56 Mary stayed with her some three months and then went home.

The Lord is with you
Notes of meeting on 6 December 2016
Let the healing power of My Spirit fall upon you.
See the healing, see the light, see the love, see the peace that lies ahead.
Ezekiel 34 v11 - 16
11 "For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it.
12 As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.
13 I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country.
14 I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel.
15 I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest -- declares the Lord Yahweh.
16 I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them.
Luke1 v 26 - 38
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 He went in and said to her, 'Rejoice, you who enjoy God's favour! The Lord is with you.'
29 She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean,
30 but the angel said to her, 'Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God's favour.
31 Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David;
33 he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.'
34 Mary said to the angel, 'But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?'
35 The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.
36 And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month,
37 for nothing is impossible to God.'
38 Mary said, 'You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said.' And the angel left her.
Let the healing power of My Spirit fall upon you.
See the healing, see the light, see the love, see the peace that lies ahead.

Open the temples of your hearts
Notes of meeting on 29 November 2016
Picture of a magnificent temple with many rooms.
As we all drew near we could hear the whimpering of a baby, we started to search the rooms and when we found him he was nearly blue with cold and very sad. We wrapped him up and each of us held him in our hearts and he warmed up and gurgled with delight.
Mary says:
"My little ones open the temples of your hearts and allow my Son Jesus to make His home within; this will bring you such Joy, Peace and Love that the things of the earth will grow quietly dim and the things of Heaven will manifest themselves deep within your being and so prayer, sacrifice and fasting will become second nature and the feast of 'the Light of the World' entering your lives will be seen by all.
My little ones my Son Jesus ADORES YOU ALL.
I bless you with my maternal blessing, Mary."

I am the way the truth and the life
Notes of meeting on 22 November 2016
Picture of Jesus richly dressed as King. Upon His head was a Crown of Thorns and He was bleeding profusely over His Kingly garments. The light of fire emanated from within Him and all around Him. Jesus then exposed His Sacred Heart which was throbbing in pain.
Our Blessed Mother with thousands of her children around the world were praying the rosary.
Jesus says:
"My people, especially you My priest sons, come to the fire of My love and you will receive mercy, affirmation, holiness. But before you come to Me I ask this:
Do you walk in My ways?
Do you walk in My truths?
Do you live My life?
For if you do not do these things and teach My little ones these things how can you say I your Jesus am the way, the truth and the life.
My ways, My truth and life are like a spiritual map to Heaven. So come to Me and lay your burdens before Me. I shall heal that within you which separates you from Me.
You shall know My ways.
You shall preach My truths.
You shall experience My true life in you.
My heart aches with love for all of you and I ask the faithful to pray for My sons in Holy Orders so that together we will demolish the rampart of evil that surrounds them.
Your Jesus."
Romans 12 v 1-9
1 I urge you, then, brothers, remembering the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, dedicated and acceptable to God; that is the kind of worship for you, as sensible people.
2 Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God -- what is good and acceptable and mature.
3 And through the grace that I have been given, I say this to every one of you: never pride yourself on being better than you really are, but think of yourself dispassionately, recognising that God has given to each one his measure of faith.
4 Just as each of us has various parts in one body, and the parts do not all have the same function:
5 in the same way, all of us, though there are so many of us, make up one body in Christ, and as different parts we are all joined to one another.
6 Then since the gifts that we have differ according to the grace that was given to each of us: if it is a gift of prophecy, we should prophesy as much as our faith tells us;
7 if it is a gift of practical service, let us devote ourselves to serving; if it is teaching, to teaching;
8 if it is encouraging, to encouraging. When you give, you should give generously from the heart; if you are put in charge, you must be conscientious; if you do works of mercy, let it be because you enjoy doing them.
9 Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good.
O that today you would listen to my voice, harden not your hearts as on that day at Massah in the desert when you put me to the test though you saw my works. (see Psalm 95 v 7-8)
Mark 4 v 36-41
36 And leaving the crowd behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat; and there were other boats with him.
37 Then it began to blow a great gale and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost swamped.
38 But he was in the stern, his head on the cushion, asleep.
39 They woke him and said to him, 'Master, do you not care? We are lost!' And he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Quiet now! Be calm!' And the wind dropped, and there followed a great calm.
40 Then he said to them, 'Why are you so frightened? Have you still no faith?'
41 They were overcome with awe and said to one another, 'Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him.

Do not be afraid for I am with you
Notes of meeting on 15 November 2016
Picture of Our Lady, emanating from her was a gentle light. This light was easy on our eyes as though adorning and enwrapping us in here motherliness.
She said "My little ones, if you continually look at my Son Jesus in His Passion, you will learn to open your hearts fully and so your capacity to love will grow. Your hearts so full of love for my Son Jesus will be so disposed as to pray for all those my Son's Heart clamours for; the lost and stolen that Satan has procured.
Open your hearts to pray those who seem evil, that the spark of goodness which the Father plants in every soul will be fanned into flame for my Son Jesus, then once more they will belong in the sheepfold of my Son's Heart and all of Heaven will rejoice!
My dear ones open your hearts and use your willingness and prayers to follow Jesus, all these things will be used to build up the Kingdom in ways not seen or known before, and Satan's power over your lives will dissipate and finally disappear.
Little group he will never hurt you because I your Mother will stand at your side at all times interceding. So pray, make sacrifice and all will be accomplished and Jesus with Heaven will be so joyful.
I bless you with my maternal blessing.
Mary"
John 12 v 44 - 50
44 Jesus declared publicly: Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in the one who sent me,
45 and whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me.
46 I have come into the world as light, to prevent anyone who believes in me from staying in the dark any more.
47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithfully, it is not I who shall judge such a person, since I have come not to judge the world, but to save the world:
48 anyone who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already: the word itself that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of my own accord; but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and what to speak,
50 and I know that his commands mean eternal life. And therefore what the Father has told me is what I speak.
Isaiah 41 v 10
10 do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be alarmed, for I am your God. I give you strength, truly I help you, truly I hold you firm with my saving right hand.

Mary"
John 12 v 44 - 50
44 Jesus declared publicly: Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in the one who sent me,
45 and whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me.
46 I have come into the world as light, to prevent anyone who believes in me from staying in the dark any more.
47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithfully, it is not I who shall judge such a person, since I have come not to judge the world, but to save the world:
48 anyone who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already: the word itself that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of my own accord; but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and what to speak,
50 and I know that his commands mean eternal life. And therefore what the Father has told me is what I speak.
Isaiah 41 v 10
10 do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be alarmed, for I am your God. I give you strength, truly I help you, truly I hold you firm with my saving right hand.

Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life
Notes of meeting on 8 November 2016
Picture of Our Lord with a two edged sword in His hand which He placed in the middle of an open scroll.
Our Blessed Mother pointed to it and said "My Son Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. His Way is the only way to heaven, His Truth is sacrosanct there is no other, His Life is eternal. Keep these truths close to your hearts, enfold them within your hearts, live them and believe them. There are those who say that they walk in my Son's Ways in His Truths and say they live His Life. pray for them and pray for those around them that they do not fall for the lies perpetrated by the evil one.
My Son has placed the Sword of Truth upon the Book of Life, none can come to the Glory of the Father if they profess not my Son Jesus.
Pray that every knee shall bow and every voice confess that Jesus is Lord.
I myself will pray for you little group that you would be safe from evil attack.
I your Mother and my Son Jesus love you so much but ask you to pray harder even as you go about your daily lives.
Pray 'Jesus and Mary save souls'.
When you say your Rosary lift up all these especially my Priest sons for the evil one snaps at their heels.
Trust in my Son. Pray and all will be well.
I bless you with my Motherly Blessing. Mary"
Acts 5 v 27 - 42
27 When they had brought them in to face the Sanhedrin, the high priest demanded an explanation.
28 'We gave you a strong warning', he said, 'not to preach in this name, and what have you done? You have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and seem determined to fix the guilt for this man's death on us.'
29 In reply Peter and the apostles said, 'Obedience to God comes before obedience to men;
30 it was the God of our ancestors who raised up Jesus, whom you executed by hanging on a tree.
31 By his own right hand God has now raised him up to be leader and Saviour, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins through him to Israel.
32 We are witnesses to this, we and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.'
33 This so infuriated them that they wanted to put them to death.
34 One member of the Sanhedrin, however, a Pharisee called Gamaliel, who was a teacher of the Law respected by the whole people, stood up and asked to have the men taken outside for a time.
35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin, 'Men of Israel, be careful how you deal with these people.
36 Some time ago there arose Theudas. He claimed to be someone important, and collected about four hundred followers; but when he was killed, all his followers scattered and that was the end of them.
37 And then there was Judas the Galilean, at the time of the census, who attracted crowds of supporters; but he was killed too, and all his followers dispersed.
38 What I suggest, therefore, is that you leave these men alone and let them go. If this enterprise, this movement of theirs, is of human origin it will break up of its own accord;
39 but if it does in fact come from God you will be unable to destroy them. Take care not to find yourselves fighting against God.' His advice was accepted;
40 and they had the apostles called in, gave orders for them to be flogged, warned them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.
41 And so they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, glad to have had the honour of suffering humiliation for the sake of the name.
42 Every day they went on ceaselessly teaching and proclaiming the good news of Christ Jesus, both in the temple and in private houses.
Philippians 2 v 12 - 18
12 So, my dear friends, you have always been obedient; your obedience must not be limited to times when I am present. Now that I am absent it must be more in evidence, so work out your salvation in fear and trembling.
13 It is God who, for his own generous purpose, gives you the intention and the powers to act.
14 Let your behaviour be free of murmuring and complaining
15 so that you remain faultless and pure, unspoilt children of God surrounded by a deceitful and underhand brood, shining out among them like bright stars in the world,
16 proffering to it the Word of life. Then I shall have reason to be proud on the Day of Christ, for it will not be for nothing that I have run the race and toiled so hard.
17 Indeed, even if my blood has to be poured as a libation over your sacrifice and the offering of your faith, then I shall be glad and join in your rejoicing-
18 and in the same way, you must be glad and join in my rejoicing.

My Heart is Love and My Father's Will is perfect
Notes of meeting on 1 November 2016
Picture of a small seed ordinary and dead looking. When placed in the soil it was watered , nurtured, fed and the sun shone upon it. It became a tree with fragrant leaves and luxuriant edible fruits.
It was Jesus who planted the seed in the soil of our hearts. It was He who nurtured , fed and watered it and caused the sun the shine upon it.
The seed burst forth into life.
Our hearts had opened to Him through the action of the Holy Spirit and by partaking of the Holy Eucharist. The seed grew larger putting down roots to keep the tree firm and stable drawing in life and making much growth.
This life and growth could be seen by others drawing others to the Light of Christ for it His very light that can be seen in us that attracts and draws others. We co-operate with the Spirit and He does the work.
Jesus says;
" Mary, My Mother Heart, her Immaculate Heart is full of humility and yet is full of strength. This comes from her uniting her Heart to My Sacred Heart and immersing herself and her will into My Father's Will.
So too if you submit your hearts and wills to My Sacred Heart and the Holy Will of My Father your strength, humility, love and concern for your brothers and sisters will grow. For My Heart is Love and My Father's Will is perfect.
The Holy Spirit will anoint each person and your fruitfulness will multiply and then My children the harvest of souls will be exceptional. Many will come to Me through this group. Heaven will urge you on. Ah little group how I love your littleness. You are like a favourite beloved child that I keep close the My Sacred Heart.
Pray for the lost little ones that so badly need My Holy Spirit and then they to will be enclosed in My Sacred Heart.
I bless you, Jesus."
1 Corinthians 13 v 1 - 13
1 Though I command languages both human and angelic -- if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.
2 And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains -- if I am without love, I am nothing.
3 Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned -- if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
4 Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited,
5 it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances.
6 Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth.
7 It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
8 Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with.
9 For we know only imperfectly, and we prophesy imperfectly;
10 but once perfection comes, all imperfect things will be done away with.
11 When I was a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as a child does, and think like a child; but now that I have become an adult, I have finished with all childish ways.
12 Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.
13 As it is, these remain: faith, hope and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is love.

Look your salvation is coming
Notes of meeting on 25 October 2016
Picture of Our Blessed Mother she came to each person and asked them to place their spiritual heart in her hand, then one by one she placed them in her Immaculate Heart. She took them to Jesus in a form of comfort to His Sorrowing Heart in these times offering them through her Immaculate Heart to Him.
Jesus was thrilled and very joyful to receive them, He breathed on them and the Holy Spirit was enacted within the Immaculate Heart and so rendered to our hearts too.
Our Mother returned our spiritual hearts to us.
Mary says:
"My children as your bodily hearts pump life giving oxygen around your bodies to keep your natural bodies healthy and alive so does your spiritual body need sustenance. Take care of your natural bodies but take even more care with your spiritual bodies.
Be open to my Son's calling and the Holy Spirit's governance in your life.
In these times offer every trouble however big or small to my Immaculate Heart and I will seek graces of such magnitude you will overcome all evils and become stronger in your spiritual self.
I will continually go to my Son Jesus for your help and salvation.
Remember your brothers and sisters in Christ and especially those who don't know or seem to need Him, these are the ones my Son's Heart is so sorrowful for.
Pray, pray, pray for their souls ask the Holy Spirit to form them into men and women of prayer and so be converted.
I bless you with my maternal blessing, Mary."
Isaiah 62
1 About Zion I will not be silent, about Jerusalem I shall not rest until saving justice dawns for her like a bright light and her salvation like a blazing torch.
2 The nations will then see your saving justice, and all kings your glory, and you will be called a new name which Yahweh's mouth will reveal.
3 You will be a crown of splendour in Yahweh's hand, a princely diadem in the hand of your God.
4 No more will you be known as 'Forsaken' or your country be known as 'Desolation'; instead, you will be called 'My Delight is in her' and your country 'The Wedded'; for Yahweh will take delight in you and your country will have its wedding.
5 Like a young man marrying a virgin, your rebuilder will wed you, and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so will your God rejoice in you.
6 On your walls, Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen; they will never fall silent, day or night. No peace for you, as you keep Yahweh's attention!
7 And give him no peace either until he restores Jerusalem and makes her the pride of the world!
8 Yahweh has sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: Never again shall I give your grain to feed your enemies. Never again will foreigners drink the wine for which you have toiled.
9 No, the reapers will eat it and praise Yahweh, the harvesters will drink it in my sacred courts!
10 Pass through, pass through the gates. Clear a way for my people! Level up, level up the highway, remove the stones! Hoist a signal to the peoples!
11 This is what Yahweh has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation is coming; with him comes his reward, his achievement precedes him!'
12 They will be called 'The Holy People', 'Yahweh's Redeemed', while you will be called 'Sought-after', 'City-not-forsaken'.
God calls to us.
God has great love and care for each of us.

November Prayer Intention 2016
Prayer
for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
O
Lord, who are ever merciful and bounteous with Your gifts, look down upon the
suffering souls in purgatory. Remember not their offences and negligences, but
be mindful of Your loving mercy, which is from all eternity. Cleanse them of
their sins and fulfill their ardent desires that they may be made worthy to
behold You face to face in Your glory. May they soon be united with You and
hear those blessed words which will call them to their heavenly home:
"Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world."
Prayer
for All the Deceased
Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord and let your perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
My children open your hearts to receive my love and my light
Notes of meeting on 18 October 2016
Picture of Jesus in a white garment. He called us as a group out of the dark world.
Each of us came to Him and sat with Him asking individually for mercy and forgiveness.
He spoke to each one of us in our hearts with such love and kindness. Sat with Him everyone was at ease and although aware of our surroundings we could only focus on Jesus who gave us such a beautiful smile. The light emanated from Him and shone through us and all around us as though we were breathing and living in Him. It was as though we were not of this world but were in Heaven.
Jesus says:
"My children open your hearts to receive my love and my light for children of light will always love, there is no room for despair or taciturn thoughts. If you open your hearts you will receive many graces which will fill you with the light of My Holy Spirit and you will become strong in the face of adversity.
Others in the world will see you living your lives in the light and they will question why they too cannot live in the light. In this way you will become beacons of hope in this world of no hope. You will become havens of faith to which those of this world will turn and then My children they will come to know Me your Jesus.
Did not My Mother when in this world become an oasis of calm and hope?
Come my little flock shine out on the hillside so others are drawn to Me, receive my full love and my full light and draw all men and women to Me.
My Heart is full for love of you.
Your Jesus."

Praise Yahweh
Notes of meeting on 11 October 2016
Psalm 147
Psalm 147
1 Alleluia! Praise Yahweh -- it is good to sing psalms to our God -- how pleasant to praise him.
2 Yahweh, Builder of Jerusalem! He gathers together the exiles of Israel,
3 healing the broken-hearted and binding up their wounds;
4 he counts out the number of the stars, and gives each one of them a name.
5 Our Lord is great, all-powerful, his wisdom beyond all telling.
6 Yahweh sustains the poor, and humbles the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to Yahweh in thanksgiving, play the harp for our God.
8 He veils the sky with clouds, and provides the earth with rain, makes grass grow on the hills and plants for people to use,
9 gives fodder to cattle and to young ravens when they cry.

11 his pleasure is in those who fear him, in those who hope in his faithful love.
12 Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, Zion, praise your God.
13 For he gives strength to the bars of your gates, he blesses your children within you,
14 he maintains the peace of your frontiers, gives you your fill of finest wheat.
15 He sends his word to the earth, his command runs quickly,
16 he spreads the snow like flax, strews hoarfrost like ashes,
17 he sends ice-crystals like breadcrumbs, and who can withstand that cold?
18 When he sends his word it thaws them, when he makes his wind blow, the waters are unstopped.
19 He reveals his word to Jacob, his statutes and judgements to Israel.
20 For no other nation has he done this, no other has known his judgements.

Look to Him who is Saviour of all nations and all souls
Notes of meeting on 4 October 2016
Picture of Our Lady in the midst of our group. She listened carefully to our praise and prayer, clapping her hands and singing with us. She seemed very joyful and happy. When we got to our petitions she seemed to draw them under her mantle and then she soared up to Heaven to her son Jesus.
She left a glimmer of her light with us that eventually dissipated
She said:
"With joy I will take your requests and petitions to my son Jesus. Look to Him who is Saviour of all nations and all souls."
One of the petitions made Jesus cry out with joy. The petition was "Dear Jesus thank you for all the sufferings I have had here on earth, I give them to you in acceptance as my participation in your Calvary. I love you and thank you my Jesus."
Our lady then said:
"I bless you Theotokos the child of my heart carry on working for my Son's Kingdom.
Your Mother Mary."
1 Corinthians 15 v 20-28
20 In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep.
21 As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead.
22 Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life;
23 but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him.
24 After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power.
25 For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool,
26 and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet.
27 But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him.
28 When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Harvest Fast Day Prayer
The scorched earth, and all those who hunger cry out to the Lord:
Journey with us, O God, and pour out your mercy upon us.
Hand in hand, we plant seeds, water crops, protect shoots as they grow.
Together, we pray:
Journey with us, O God, and pour out your mercy upon us.
The dry land rejoices, the people sing for joy as life blooms and the harvest is gathered. In hope of this vision, we pray:
Journey with us, O God, and pour out your mercy upon us
like the morning dew, so that together we may build a brighter future, a future of plenty for all.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Come receive the Mercy of God
Notes of meeting on 27 September 2016
Picture of a large Host, it was pierced and blood and water gushed forth. The whole Altar underneath was filled and bathed in light which spilled out onto the people in the pews.
When each person came to receive the Eucharist they seemed to gather light within themselves. The Eternal Light seemed to magnify any spark of light within each person and their light became greater.
Jesus says;
"Come let your lives be transfigured with My Love and My Light. In receiving Me you have the fullness and wholeness of Me. Can you not feel My Life within you?
This power will transform your lives and the lives of others as you pray and work for them.
For those who cannot physically receive Me I take you to My Heart which soars with thankfulness that you are amending your lives and coming closer to Me.
Do you not feel your heart soar when with Me. My Light is held back from no one who tries to live united to Me in My Light.
Come receive the Mercy of God for it is My Father's will that as many be saved as is possible.
All is possible with devotion, openness and your prayers.
Your Jesus thanks you and blesses you. You are My beloved flock be transformed with My Love."
John 3 v 22-30
22 After this, Jesus went with his disciples into the Judaean countryside and stayed with them there and baptised.
23 John also was baptising at Aenon near Salim, where there was plenty of water, and people were going there and were being baptised.
24 For John had not yet been put in prison.
25 Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew about purification,
26 so they went to John and said, 'Rabbi, the man who was with you on the far side of the Jordan, the man to whom you bore witness, is baptising now, and everyone is going to him.'
27 John replied: 'No one can have anything except what is given him from heaven.
28 'You yourselves can bear me out. I said, "I am not the Christ; I am the one who has been sent to go in front of him."
29 'It is the bridegroom who has the bride; and yet the bridegroom's friend, who stands there and listens to him, is filled with joy at the bridegroom's voice. This is the joy I feel, and it is complete.
30 He must grow greater, I must grow less.
Romans 8 v 1-4
1 Thus, condemnation will never come to those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because the law of the Spirit which gives life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3 What the Law could not do because of the weakness of human nature, God did, sending his own Son in the same human nature as any sinner to be a sacrifice for sin, and condemning sin in that human nature.
4 This was so that the Law's requirements might be fully satisfied in us as we direct our lives not by our natural inclinations but by the Spirit.

26 so they went to John and said, 'Rabbi, the man who was with you on the far side of the Jordan, the man to whom you bore witness, is baptising now, and everyone is going to him.'
27 John replied: 'No one can have anything except what is given him from heaven.
28 'You yourselves can bear me out. I said, "I am not the Christ; I am the one who has been sent to go in front of him."
29 'It is the bridegroom who has the bride; and yet the bridegroom's friend, who stands there and listens to him, is filled with joy at the bridegroom's voice. This is the joy I feel, and it is complete.
30 He must grow greater, I must grow less.
Romans 8 v 1-4
1 Thus, condemnation will never come to those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because the law of the Spirit which gives life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3 What the Law could not do because of the weakness of human nature, God did, sending his own Son in the same human nature as any sinner to be a sacrifice for sin, and condemning sin in that human nature.
4 This was so that the Law's requirements might be fully satisfied in us as we direct our lives not by our natural inclinations but by the Spirit.

Love and Mercy
Notes of meeting on 20 September 2016
Picture of a colossal wave of blood that seemed to follow us all in this group for days.
It was as though the Blood of Jesus was speaking to us.
We could see as it were the life of Our Lord Jesus in His Lifeblood, the knocks when a child, every tear of blood, every tear shed from His Holy Heart, every beating and bruise, every tortured thought and prayer, every longing within him for his people, every drop shed on Calvary all were contained within this great wave of Mercy for humanity.
The blood of the Martyrs, every act of goodness, every prayer, every tear and heartfelt wish was also contained within this wave and right in the middle was Our Blessed Mother's anguish and suffering at the ongoing punishment gladly borne by Our Lord.
Mary says:
"Pray that mankind will accept my Son's Mercy for he groans in agony at the indifference of this world. Be as lights to the Mercy of My Son. Call avidly for the Holy Spirit to guide you and others to my Son. This ongoing gift is at great cost but the prize of mans very soul is the reason why my Son suffers so for love of you.
Pray, pray, pray my children my Sons name is 'Love' avail yourselves of His Love.
I bless you with my maternal blessing, Mary."
1 John 3 v 11-24
11 This is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we must love one another,
12 not to be like Cain, who was from the Evil One and murdered his brother. And why did he murder his brother? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's upright.
13 Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
14 We are well aware that we have passed over from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love, remains in death.
15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you are well aware that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
16 This is the proof of love, that he laid down his life for us, and we too ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 If anyone is well-off in worldly possessions and sees his brother in need but closes his heart to him, how can the love of God be remaining in him?
18 Children, our love must be not just words or mere talk, but something active and genuine.
19 This will be the proof that we belong to the truth, and it will convince us in his presence,
20 even if our own feelings condemn us, that God is greater than our feelings and knows all things.
21 My dear friends, if our own feelings do not condemn us, we can be fearless before God,
22 and whatever we ask we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what is acceptable to him.
23 His commandment is this, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and that we should love one another as he commanded us.
24 Whoever keeps his commandments remains in God, and God in him. And this is the proof that he remains in us: the Spirit that he has given us.
Romans 5 v 6 -12
6 When we were still helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless.
7 You could hardly find anyone ready to die even for someone upright; though it is just possible that, for a really good person, someone might undertake to die.
8 So it is proof of God's own love for us, that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
9 How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by his death, we shall be saved through him from the retribution of God.
11 What is more, we are filled with exultant trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.
12 Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.

9 How much more can we be sure, therefore, that, now that we have been justified by his death, we shall be saved through him from the retribution of God.
10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more can we be sure that, being now reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
12 Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.

On the day of salvation I have helped you
Notes of meeting on 6 September 2016
Picture of angels fighting demons all across and above the Earth. Suddenly a trumpet sounded and for a few minutes nothing moved.
Then Our Lady confronted the evil one, her littleness and humility seemed to be overwhelmed by the evil one's arrogance and hatred but Our Lady didn't falter and stood her ground. They were conversing and the words could be clearly heard "Let my Son's people go through my Son's Blood the price is paid, you cannot have them."
Our Lady's heart seemed to pour out all meekness, holiness, goodness and love of her children. Her adversary started to fidget and Our Lady seemed to fill the air with the righteousness and authority of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit which poured from her heart in a steady stream. She went to stand on his foot and the evil one fled taking his minions with him.
Our Lady seemed to overflow with motherliness as she looked at her suffering children and could see the face of her Son Jesus in each one.
She says;
"My children I am always with you, I will always fight for the souls of my beloved children for you are made in the image of my Son Jesus. Call on me and I will instantly start to help you with my prayers. I have a wonderful armoury and angelic army ready at your request. pray the prayer Satan hates most the Rosary, go to confession, go to my Son Jesus as often as you can in the Eucharist with these sacraments and prayers your adversary cannot overcome you.
I bless you in the name of Jesus, Mary."
Matthew 5 v 13 - 16
13 'You are salt for the earth. But if salt loses its taste, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled under people's feet.
14 'You are light for the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden.
15 No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house.
16 In the same way your light must shine in people's sight, so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.
Isaiah 49 v 8 - 10
8 Thus says Yahweh: At the time of my favour I have answered you, on the day of salvation I have helped you. I have formed you and have appointed you to be the covenant for a people, to restore the land, to return ravaged properties,
9 to say to prisoners, 'Come out,' to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' Along the roadway they will graze, and any bare height will be their pasture.
10 They will never hunger or thirst, scorching wind and sun will never plague them; for he who pities them will lead them, will guide them to springs of water.

Our homeland is in heaven
Notes of meeting on 30 August 2016
Picture of our Blessed Mother dressed in gold with a crown upon her head with her Immaculate Heart exposed from within she pulled out something like pink gossamer which she continually cast out around the world rather like a fisherman does at sea.
Many souls were that had been destined for Hell were collected in the gossamer; our Mother presented them to her Son who was weeping continually and when He received these souls He sanctified them and this brought Him such joy.
Mary says:
"My children, Theotokos, hope of my Immaculate Heart pray and make sacrifice. Continue to help your Mother by your little sacrifices then together as with other prayer groups around the world we will soothe the outrages and terrible hurt that my Son Jesus feels in these times.
The total lack of belief perpetrated by the evil one seems to be unstoppable but we my children through my Son Jesus have the victory. Satan cannot and will not win.
Bring your prayers in reparation for these poor souls continue with eagerness for my Son Jesus loves them so.
I thank you for our co-operation my children.
I will never leave you.
Mary, with my maternal blessing I bless you."
Philippians 3 v 8 - 21
8 Yes, I will go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I count everything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of all other things, and look on them all as filth if only I can gain Christ
9 and be given a place in him, with the uprightness I have gained not from the Law, but through faith in Christ, an uprightness from God, based on faith,
10 that I may come to know him and the power of his resurrection, and partake of his sufferings by being moulded to the pattern of his death,
11 striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead.
12 Not that I have secured it already, nor yet reached my goal, but I am still pursuing it in the attempt to take hold of the prize for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13 Brothers, I do not reckon myself as having taken hold of it; I can only say that forgetting all that lies behind me, and straining forward to what lies in front,
14 I am racing towards the finishing-point to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.
15 So this is the way in which all of us who are mature should be thinking, and if you are still thinking differently in any way, then God has yet to make this matter clear to you.
16 Meanwhile, let us go forward from the point we have each attained.
17 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the example you have from me.
18 For there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tears in my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ's cross.
19 They are destined to be lost; their god is the stomach; they glory in what they should think shameful, since their minds are set on earthly things.
20 But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery.

My whole being hopes in the Lord
Notes of meeting on 23 August 2016
Picture of this group and in the middle was a large throne that although ornate also looked comfortable. Jesus took his place and sat down in our midst.
Our Lady looked at us all and smiled. Jesus looked so pleased to see us all together keeping Him company.
Our Lady made a sign towards us with her hand and said:
"You see my Son these children of ours will help us I myself have tutored them in your ways and they are now ready to open their hearts and enthrone you."
Jesus immediately entered each persons heart.
Some of us felt very comfortable, some of us felt overawed and anxious that we were not good enough but this did not matter as just willing was all that was required. All felt such love, joy and hope.
Our Lady said:
"Let my Son Jesus reign in your hearts and very soon others will be drawn to the light of my Son Jesus. You will evangelise, some with words but mostly because others will see Jesus residing in you through your thoughts and actions. Don't be anxious lay your hearts on the Heart of my Son Jesus and you will experience real Love, real Joy, real Hope.
Be as an oasis in a parched land, fruitful and peaceful. Do not be afraid.
I bless you with my maternal blessing.
Mary".
Psalm 130
1 [Song of Ascents] From the depths I call to you, Yahweh:
2 Lord, hear my cry. Listen attentively to the sound of my pleading!
3 If you kept a record of our sins, Lord, who could stand their ground?
4 But with you is forgiveness, that you may be revered.
5 I rely, my whole being relies, Yahweh, on your promise.
6 My whole being hopes in the Lord, more than watchmen for daybreak; more than watchmen for daybreak
7 let Israel hope in Yahweh. For with Yahweh is faithful love, with him generous ransom;
8 and he will ransom Israel from all its sins.
1 Peter 4 v 12-16
12 My dear friends, do not be taken aback at the testing by fire which is taking place among you, as though something strange were happening to you;
13 but in so far as you share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, so that you may enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted for bearing Christ's name, blessed are you, for on you rests the Spirit of God, the Spirit of glory.
15 None of you should ever deserve to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an informer;
16 but if any one of you should suffer for being a Christian, then there must be no shame but thanksgiving to God for bearing this name.
Pope Francis on the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis delivered his 14 August 2016 address to the crowds who had gathered in St. Peter's Square for the weekly Angelus.
In his address before reciting the Marian prayer, the pontiff reflected on the themes of the day's Gospel reading, specifically on Jesus' words: "I have come to set the earth on fire." He explained how the fire about which Jesus speaks is that of the "Holy Spirit, the living and working presence in us from the day of our Baptism."
This fire is a "creative force which purifies and renews," as it burns away every human misery, egoism, and sin, he said. "It transforms us from within, regenerates us, and makes us capable of love."
"Jesus wants the Holy Spirit to burn like fire in our hearts, because it is only from the heart that the fire of Divine love can strengthen and advance the Kingdom of God," he said.
By opening ourselves completely to the Holy Spirit, we will be given the the "courage and zeal to proclaim to everyone Jesus, and his consoling message of mercy and salvation."
The Holy Spirit keeps the Church from being "held back by fear and calculations" or becoming accustomed to staying within secure confines, Pope Francis said.
"The Apostolic courage which the Holy Spirit ignites in us as a fire helps us overcome walls and barriers, makes us creative," and spurs us along "unexplored or uncomfortable paths, offering hope to those we meet."
"We are called to become ever more a community of persons who are guided and transformed by the Holy Spirit," the pontiff said.
Speaking off the cuff, Pope Francis said the fire of the Holy Spirit brings us to those who suffer from various miseries and problems, including migrants and refugees.
Now more than ever there is a need for priests, consecrated men and women, and lay faithful, the Pope said, "who, throughout the world, are dedicated to the proclamation of the Gospel with great love and loyalty, often even at the cost of their lives."
"Their exemplary witness reminds us that the Church does not need bureaucrats or meticulous officials," Pope Francis said. Rather, it needs "passionate missionaries, consumed by zeal to bring the consoling Word of Jesus and his grace to everyone."
"This is the fire of the Holy Spirit," the pontiff said, again going off script. "If the Church does not receive this fire, or allow it to enter, it becomes a cold or only Church, incapable of giving life, since it is made of cold or lukewarm Christians."
The Pope encouraged those present to take five minutes to ask themselves whether their own hearts are cold or lukewarm, and if they are capable of receiving this fire of the Holy Spirit.

Picture of Our Blessed Mother in the midst of us once again she held out her hand containing the Rosary.
She motioned with her hand to look closely.
There were two people the fist was immersed in prayer saying the Rosary, reading the bible and going to Mass as often as possible. the second person went to Mass occasionally but was generally not a praying person, they believed in God but were so busy with life that they didn't pray much.
Evil darts were being fired at both persons, the first felt no dart or arrow because the armour could not be penetrated. The second felt every dart and arrow causing much confusion in their life, petty quarrels and jealousies to flare up and all the good they tries to do seemed to end up in failure. That person felt something was missing.
Mary says:
"Pray my children at all times in all situations, pray the armour of God about you by means of my Holy Rosary. Satan hates this prayer, go to the Eucharist my Son Jesus as often as possible with these aides you will feel less the darts of the evil one and in fact you will become impervious to them.
Go to confession often and you will feel an overriding sense of peace especially during Mass, your thoughts will be centred and ordered on my Most Glorious Son Jesus and He wills send you arrows of Divine Love in your hearts. These arrows will never hurt you for they are pure love, you will receive all that you need to heal your lives to change your lives and eventually to sanctify your lives in God's eyes.
Pray for conversion of your very souls and pray for your brothers and sisters to be converted to the ways of God, Invoke the Holy Spirit continually and great changes will come about. Change required prayer so my beloved pray!
I bless you with my maternal love, Mary."
Wisdom 5 v 15-23
15 But the upright live for ever, their recompense is with the Lord, and the Most High takes care of them.
16 So they will receive the glorious crown and the diadem of beauty from the Lord's hand; for he will shelter them with his right hand and with his arm he will shield them.
17 For armour he will take his jealous love, he will arm creation to punish his enemies;
18 he will put on justice as a breastplate, and for helmet wear his forthright judgement;
19 he will take up invincible holiness for shield,
20 of his pitiless wrath he will forge a sword, and the universe will march with him to fight the reckless.
21 Bolts truly aimed, the shafts of lightning will leap, and from the clouds, as from a full-drawn bow, fly to their mark;
22 and the catapult will hurl hailstones charged with fury. The waters of the sea will rage against them, the rivers engulf them without pity,
23 a mighty gale will rise against them and winnow them like a hurricane. Thus wickedness will lay the whole earth waste and evil-doing bring down the thrones of the mighty.
Matthew 7 v 24-29
24 'Therefore, everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a sensible man who built his house on rock.
25 Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and hurled themselves against that house, and it did not fall: it was founded on rock.
26 But everyone who listens to these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a stupid man who built his house on sand.
27 Rain came down, floods rose, gales blew and struck that house, and it fell; and what a fall it had!'
28 Jesus had now finished what he wanted to say, and his teaching made a deep impression on the people
29 because he taught them with authority, unlike their own scribes.
Isiah 40 v 1 - 11
1 'Console my people, console them,' says your God.
2 'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and cry to her that her period of service is ended, that her guilt has been atoned for, that, from the hand of Yahweh, she has received double punishment for all her sins.'
3 A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert a way for Yahweh. Make a straight highway for our God across the wastelands.
4 Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill be levelled, every cliff become a plateau, every escarpment a plain;
5 then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed and all humanity will see it together, for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'
6 A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said, 'What shall I cry?' -'All humanity is grass and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of Yahweh blows on them. (The grass is surely the people.)
8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God remains for ever.'
9 Go up on a high mountain, messenger of Zion. Shout as loud as you can, messenger of Jerusalem! Shout fearlessly, say to the towns of Judah, 'Here is your God.'
10 Here is Lord Yahweh coming with power, his arm maintains his authority, his reward is with him and his prize precedes him.
11 He is like a shepherd feeding his flock, gathering lambs in his arms, holding them against his breast and leading to their rest the mother ewes.

Come back to me
Notes of meeting on 9 August 2016
Picture of Jesus in a white garment; he seemed to be far off as though a veil obscured Him fully from us.
Then the light emanating from Him seemed to push the veil aside and Jesus could be seen fully in all His Glory.
Not one person on the earth could mistake who he was The Most Holy Son Of God The Most High.
Jesus was reaching out to us with one hand and with the other hand revealed His Most Sacred Heart.
He says:
"My children shortly I will reveal myself fully to all mankind, all will see the Truth.
Pray that those who abuse Me and torture Me will come to me in repentance and I will gladly take them to My Sacred Heart and heal and cleanse them.
Pray that they will prepare for the cup of the Father's wrath is full.
My children do not be lost to Me for My Heart is tender and broken for you. Come back and I will dress you once again in holiness as a mother dresses her child with love and tenderness and in true joy.
To each one of you I say I love you personally, come back to Me, don't break My Heart by refusal for I thirst for you.
Pray as My Mother prays for Her prayer is most effective and made in the true will of My Father.
I bless you, Jesus."
Micah 7 v 18-20
18 What god can compare with you for pardoning guilt and for overlooking crime? He does not harbour anger for ever, since he delights in showing faithful love.
19 Once more have pity on us, tread down our faults; throw all our sins to the bottom of the sea.
20 Grant Jacob your faithfulness, and Abraham your faithful love, as you swore to our ancestors from the days of long ago.
Matthew 14 v 22 - 36
22 And at once he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he sent the crowds away.
23 After sending the crowds away he went up into the hills by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,
24 while the boat, by now some furlongs from land, was hard pressed by rough waves, for there was a head-wind.
25 In the fourth watch of the night he came towards them, walking on the sea,
26 and when the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. 'It is a ghost,' they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But at once Jesus called out to them, saying, 'Courage! It's me! Don't be afraid.'
28 It was Peter who answered. 'Lord,' he said, 'if it is you, tell me to come to you across the water.'
29 Jesus said, 'Come.' Then Peter got out of the boat and started walking towards Jesus across the water,
30 but then noticing the wind, he took fright and began to sink. 'Lord,' he cried, 'save me!'
31 Jesus put out his hand at once and held him. 'You have so little faith,' he said, 'why did you doubt?'
32 And as they got into the boat the wind dropped.
33 The men in the boat bowed down before him and said, 'Truly, you are the Son of God.'
34 Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret.
35 When the local people recognised him they spread the news through the whole neighbourhood and took all that were sick to him,
36 begging him just to let them touch the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched it were saved.
May My Word be a light to your feet.

August Prayer Intention 2016
August Prayer Intention
Pope Francis' prayer for peace and protection from terrorism
O almighty and
merciful God, Lord of the universe and of history. All that You have created is
good and your compassion for the mistakes of mankind knows no limits.
We come to You
today to ask You to keep in peace the world and its people, to keep far away
from it the devastating wave of terrorism, to restore friendship and instill in
the hearts of your creatures the gift of trust and of readiness to forgive.
O Giver of life,
we pray to You also for all those who have died as victims of brutal terrorist
attacks. Grant them their eternal reward. May they intercede for the world that
is torn apart by conflicts and disagreements.
O Jesus, Prince
of Peace, we pray to You for the ones who have been wounded in these acts of
inhuman violence: children and young people, old people and innocent people
accidentally involved in evil. Heal their bodies and hearts; console them with
Your strength and, at the same time, take away any hatred and a desire for
revenge.
Holy Spirit
Consoler, visit the families of the victims of terrorism, families that suffer
through no fault of their own. Wrap them in the mantle of Your divine mercy.
Make them find again in You and in themselves the strength and courage to
continue to be brothers and sisters for others, above all for immigrants,
giving witness to Your love by their lives.
Touch the hearts
of terrorists so that they may recognize the evil of their actions and may turn
to the way of peace and goodness, of respect for the life and for the dignity
of every human being, regardless of religion, origin, wealth or poverty.
O God, Eternal
Father, in Your mercy hear our prayer which we raise up to You amidst the
deafening noise and desperation of the world. We turn to You with great hope,
full of trust in Your infinite Mercy. Made strong by the examples of the
blessed martyrs, who have rendered courageous testimony to the Gospel, to the
point of offering their blood, we entrust ourselves to the intercession of Your
Most Holy Mother. We ask for the gift of peace and of the elimination from our
midst of the sore of terrorism.
Through Christ
our Lord.
Amen.
Eat and be filled
Notes of meeting on 27 July 2016
Picture of Jesus raising his hand in blessing over us.
At his Heart was a shining monstrance shedding rays of light.
He says: "Eat and be filled".
Psalm 63
1 [Psalm Of David When he was in the desert of Judah] God, you are my God, I pine for you; my heart thirsts for you, my body longs for you, as a land parched, dreary and waterless.
2 Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and your glory.
3 Better your faithful love than life itself; my lips will praise you.
4 Thus I will bless you all my life, in your name lift up my hands.
5 All my longings fulfilled as with fat and rich foods, a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.
6 On my bed when I think of you, I muse on you in the watches of the night,
7 for you have always been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
8 my heart clings to you, your right hand supports me.
9 May those who are hounding me to death go down to the depths of the earth,
10 given over to the blade of the sword, and left as food for jackals.
11 Then the king shall rejoice in God, all who swear by him shall gain recognition, for the mouths of liars shall be silenced.
Ephesians 2 v 4 -10
4 But God, being rich in faithful love, through the great love with which he loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our sins, brought us to life with Christ -- it is through grace that you have been saved-
6 and raised us up with him and gave us a place with him in heaven, in Christ Jesus.
7 This was to show for all ages to come, through his goodness towards us in Christ Jesus, how extraordinarily rich he is in grace.
8 Because it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith; not by anything of your own, but by a gift from God;
9 not by anything that you have done, so that nobody can claim the credit.
10 We are God's work of art, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has already designated to make up our way of life.
Luke 7 v 26 - 50
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to a meal. When he arrived at the Pharisee's house and took his place at table,
37 suddenly a woman came in, who had a bad name in the town. She had heard he was dining with the Pharisee and had brought with her an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 She waited behind him at his feet, weeping, and her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them away with her hair; then she covered his feet with kisses and anointed them with the ointment.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, 'If this man were a prophet, he would know who this woman is and what sort of person it is who is touching him and what a bad name she has.'
40 Then Jesus took him up and said, 'Simon, I have something to say to you.' He replied, 'Say on, Master.'
41 'There was once a creditor who had two men in his debt; one owed him five hundred denarii, the other fifty.
42 They were unable to pay, so he let them both off. Which of them will love him more?'
43 Simon answered, 'The one who was let off more, I suppose.' Jesus said, 'You are right.'
44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, 'You see this woman? I came into your house, and you poured no water over my feet, but she has poured out her tears over my feet and wiped them away with her hair.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she has been covering my feet with kisses ever since I came in.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 For this reason I tell you that her sins, many as they are, have been forgiven her, because she has shown such great love. It is someone who is forgiven little who shows little love.'
48 Then he said to her, 'Your sins are forgiven.'
49 Those who were with him at table began to say to themselves, 'Who is this man, that even forgives sins?'
50 But he said to the woman, 'Your faith has saved you; go in peace.'

Stay awake
Notes of meeting on 12 July 2016
Picture of our Blessed Mother kneeling at the foot of the Cross, she is weeping, making reparation for her children. As she weeps so Jesus suffers but gladly to appease the wrath of the Father.
From the four corners of the earth people are walking towards the Cross, they have suffered and are still suffering. They come closer and closer to Jesus and our Blessed Mother. Each person stops before the Cross and makes a deep obeisance before Jesus before they are taken up to the shining white city above.
Our Blessed Mother says:
"My children, as a child copies it's mother in everything and so learns to live, I ask you to redouble your efforts for my suffering Son and to copy His humility and sacrifice for poor souls.
Some of you will be better at fasting or prayer, some of you better at praising or sacrifice, do all that you can to alleviate the suffering of my Son as suffering he gladly bears on behalf of you His beloved brothers and sisters, He is thirsty for the lives of souls who do not know Him.
We thank you and praise God for every effort however small or large.
Be heroic in these times.
From little things great things can come.
I bless you with my motherly love.
Mary"
Luke 21 v 25 - 38
25 'There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars; on earth nations in agony, bewildered by the turmoil of the ocean and its waves;
26 men fainting away with terror and fear at what menaces the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 When these things begin to take place, stand erect, hold your heads high, because your liberation is near at hand.'
29 And he told them a parable, 'Look at the fig tree and indeed every tree.
30 As soon as you see them bud, you can see for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 So with you when you see these things happening: know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 In truth I tell you, before this generation has passed away all will have taken place.
33 Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
34 'Watch yourselves, or your hearts will be coarsened by debauchery and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that day will come upon you unexpectedly,
35 like a trap. For it will come down on all those living on the face of the earth.
36 Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to hold your ground before the Son of man.'
37 All day long he would be in the Temple teaching, but would spend the night in the open on the hill called the Mount of Olives.
38 And from early morning the people thronged to him in the Temple to listen to him.
Jeremiah 31 v 1 - 14
1 When that time comes, Yahweh declares, I shall be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.
2 Yahweh says this: They have found pardon in the desert, those who have survived the sword. Israel is marching to his rest.
3 Yahweh has appeared to me from afar; I have loved you with an everlasting love and so I still maintain my faithful love for you.
4 I shall build you once more, yes, you will be rebuilt, Virgin of Israel! Once more in your best attire, and with your tambourines, you will go out dancing gaily.
5 Once more you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria (those who plant will themselves enjoy the fruit).
6 Yes, a day will come when the watchmen shout on the mountains of Ephraim, 'Up! Let us go up to Zion, to Yahweh our God!'
7 For Yahweh says this: Shout with joy for Jacob! Hail the chief of nations! Proclaim! Praise! Shout, 'Yahweh has saved his people, the remnant of Israel!'
8 Watch, I shall bring them back from the land of the north and gather them in from the far ends of the earth. With them, the blind and the lame, women with child, women in labour, all together: a mighty throng will return here!
9 In tears they will return, in prayer I shall lead them. I shall guide them to streams of water, by a smooth path where they will not stumble. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born son.
10 Listen, nations, to the word of Yahweh. On the farthest coasts and islands proclaim it, say, 'He who scattered Israel is gathering him, will guard him as a shepherd guarding his flock.'
11 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, rescued him from a hand stronger than his own.
12 They will come, shouting for joy on the heights of Zion, thronging towards Yahweh's lavish gifts, for wheat, new wine and oil, sheep and cattle; they will be like a well-watered garden, they will sorrow no more.
13 The young girl will then take pleasure in the dance, and young men and old alike; I shall change their mourning into gladness, comfort them, give them joy after their troubles;
14 I shall refresh my priests with rich food, and my people will gorge themselves on my lavish gifts, Yahweh declares.

13 The young girl will then take pleasure in the dance, and young men and old alike; I shall change their mourning into gladness, comfort them, give them joy after their troubles;
14 I shall refresh my priests with rich food, and my people will gorge themselves on my lavish gifts, Yahweh declares.
