August Prayer Intention 2017

Prayer for poor sinners

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly and I offer You the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended, and by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.
Amen.

Come to me

Notes of meeting on 25 July 2017

Jeremiah 3 v 11-14
11 The Lord said to me, ‘Faithless Israel is more righteous than unfaithful Judah. 12 Go, proclaim this message towards the north:
‘“Return, faithless Israel,” declares the Lord,
    “I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,” declares the Lord,
    “I will not be angry for ever.
13 Only acknowledge your guilt –
    you have rebelled against the Lord your God,
you have scattered your favours to foreign gods
    under every spreading tree,
    and have not obeyed me,”’
declares the Lord.
14 ‘Return, faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you – one from a town and two from a clan – and bring you to Zion.
 
The fruit of repentance is Mercy.
 
James 5 v 7-11
Patience in suffering 
7Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
 
Matthew 11 v 15-30
25 At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
27 ‘All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 ‘Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.’

Pray for those who don't know my Son


Notes of meeting on 18 July 2017

Picture of a Mountain leading up to the top could be seen a great stream of blue cloth. It was Our Blessed Mother's Mantle flowing down.
Under Her Mantle were many people , mostly families and children. As thy made their way to the summit they came out of the Mantle into the Joyous Arms of Our Blessed Lord. Such Joy, such Bliss, such overwhelming Love. Jesus knew each person  by name inviting hem to sit at the Feast prepared for them.

Mary says;
" My children I your Mother will always lead you to my Son, stay under my mantle and no matter how arduous the journey, you will arrive to reside and live in complete Paradise with my Son Jesus.
My children I willingly give you the safety of my patronage but will you pray for those who don't know my Son, that they too may be protected and encouraged on their journey, and so come to know the Joy of Heaven and not as my adversary plans which is to distract them to perdition.
Pray, pray.
My Son's tears and His Blood flow like a river in these times. Prayer brings multitudes of graces upon those who so easily could be lost.
My Rosary is the perfect weapon.
Thank you my children.
Mary."




1 Peter 1 v 3 - 9

Praise to God for a living hope

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1 Chronicles 

Throughout history God is working through families and the generations of believers.

Mark 7 v 24 - 30

Jesus honours a Syro-Phoenician woman’s faith

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 ‘First let the children eat all they want,’ he told her, ‘for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.’
28 ‘Lord,’ she replied, ‘even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.’
29 Then he told her, ‘For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.’
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.


1 Corinthians 1 v 18-31

Christ crucified is God’s power and wisdom

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
    the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God – that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.

Draw others to Me


Notes of meeting on 11 July 2017

Picture of Our Blessed Lord above the world and above Him was the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. From the wounds on His hands oozed oil which came down upon the earth and penetrated every person good and bad alike.
Those who were open received a full measure of anointing. Those fully anointed could see, hear and feel in their hearts Jesus living and flowing within them even in the alignment of hearts beats. It was as though He was in them and they in Him. Those anointed felt a holy joy because all made sense and they could see and feel His presence in everyone even those with little knowledge of Him.
Jesus says;
"My people open your hearts to my anointing and you will accomplish the building of My kingdom fist within yourselves and your families but most importantly to your brothers and sisters who are blind and deaf to Life in the Spirit. Your anointing will break down barriers and those who don't know Me will be drawn to My Saving Grace.
My people you (each of you) are Mine, you in Me and I in you. You are My anointed ones, draw others by your actions, words, sacrifices, penances and prayers so they too can become fully anointed in Me and receive the Holy Spirit.
My thirst is great for these poor souls, My love is like a great sea of mercy for these souls. Bring them to Me, My children, that I may immerse them in Mercy and then they will fully know Me and My thirst at last will be assuaged.
Jesus your Love."

Pray for the light of Jesus to enter every heart

Notes of meeting on 4 July 2017

Picture of a Great Light on top of a mountain.
Streams of people from all corners of the earth streamed towards the light because it was so dark.
The People of God were like little lights going to join the bigger light. Many people didn't have any light within them and some just a glimmer.
The people of the Light started to pray and sing it was as though they were calling to those who didn't know the Father or Jesus or the Spirit. Some of them heard the call and came on the journey, some listened to the call of the world and did not. So the people of the Light redoubled their efforts on their behalf making sacrifice, fasting and wailing for the lost.
The Light grew larger and sent down from the mountain top a shower of graces and most of the lost could hear and see and feel the love of God and so turned toward the Light. They felt joy and a sense of belonging for the first time in their lives.

Mary says:
"My children pray for the light of my Son Jesus to enter every heart that all may come to know Him fully and so be born into Eternal Life.
My children sustain yourselves with the Holy Sacraments especially the receiving of Eucharist. My adversary cannot overcome you with my Son within you, the Holy Spirit guiding you and your love for prayer.
Pray my little ones and you will see miracles in your families and your World.
My motherly blessing I bestow in the name of my Son Jesus. Mary."

Sunday 2 July 2017

Put on the full armour of God

Notes of meeting on 27 June 2017

Picture of two ewer jugs both were filled to the top with new fresh wine.
Two people were both standing within the confines of Our Blessed Mother's mantle.
One of the jugs in particular had a light around it. The evil one shot arrows at the jugs and the one without the light around it cracked and appeared to loose its precious contents, the other jug though shaken did not loose any of its contents and no cracks appeared.

Our Blessed Mother says;
"My children come under the mantle of my armour, say your Rosary and the evil one cannot vanquish you. You see the two jugs which are a representation of two people one who prays little the other prays much more. The one who prays much more even though he is beset by the evil one will not succumb. The one that prays little is beset by leaks of the Holy Spirit.
Pray much my children do not be fooled by the things and bribes of my adversary.
My Child and  speak direct to each of you now, your destiny is with my Son Jesus, I pray, pray with me for your very souls and those of your brothers and sisters that enlightened by prayer and the Holy Spirit you will be forever the young new wine which will quench His thirst with and not the gall as at His Cross.
You have me to help you, call on the Holy Spirit and pray.
Your loyalty and heartfelt endeavours are so close to my heart.
I bless you in Jesus' name.
Mary."

One person was under Mary's mantle the other was undecided.

Mark 8 v 34 - 38
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.’

Ephesians 6 v 10 - 18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people

Prayer Intention July 2017 - Prayer for Persecuted Christians


Prayer Intention July 2017 - Prayer for Persecuted Christians
 
Father in Heaven, you make your sun shine on good and bad alike.
Your Son Jesus Christ died for us all and in his glorious Resurrection He still retains the five wounds of his Passion.
With his divine power he now sustains all those who suffer persecution and martyrdom for the sake of their fidelity to the faith of the Church.
Merciful and mighty Father, do not allow Cain to return again to murder helpless Abel, innocent Abel.
May persecuted Christians around the world remain, like Mary, their Mother, together at the foot of the cross of Christ the Martyr.
Comfort those menaced by violence and those oppressed by uncertainty.
May your Holy Spirit of love make fruitful the witness and the blood of those who die forgiving. Amen.
