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.

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.

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.
