Happy Christmas

 Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and all best wishes for the New Year.

After such a dark year may the coming of Jesus Our Saviour bring us the light of a new dawn, a new beginning, healing and perseverance. Amen.

O Sapientia: O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation. 

O Adonai: O sacred Lord of ancient Israel, who showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush, who gave him the holy law on Sinai mountain: come, stretch out your mighty hand to set us free. 

O Radix Jesse: O Flower of Jesse's stem, you have been raised up as a sign for all peoples; kings stand silent in your presence; the nations bow down in worship before you. Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid. 

O Clavis David: O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven: Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead your captive people into freedom. 

O Oriens: O Radiant Dawn, splendour of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.

O Rex Gentium: O King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart; O Keystone of the mighty arch of man, come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust. 

O Emmanuel: O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Saviour of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God. 

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Gospel – Luke 1:26-38

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.” 29 But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. 30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. 31 And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. 36 And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

 Are we able to say 'Yes' to God as Mary did?

Will we allow the Holy Spirit to come upon us and overshadow us?

Will we subject ourselves to God's will for our lives?

Will we welcome the Saviour into our hearts and souls?

Most Holy Spirit and the Blessed Mother bring about the birth of Christ more vividly in our souls. Amen

Mary Mother of God, Theotokos, pray for us. Amen

Picture

A picture of Blessed Mother in Heaven dressed in gold she is shortly to give birth to her Son Jesus, surrounding Her is an army of light made up of Saints, Martyrs, Angels and good people. The Martyrs appear to be holding the hands of small children some larger and others holding babies, these are the innocent children who have suffered illness or been killed and so have become martyrs themselves. They are all smiling in such Joy even the little ones are gurgling along in prayer and praise making a beautiful choir of music, they are making the Light shine forth for the Coming Of Jesus,  all this in Heaven to make up for the lack of Light and Wonder upon the earth.

“ My children wherever you are on earth pray and praise and in your hearts, rejoice for your Saviour is soon to be born, wherever you are, in Church, in your homes, even if you are in jail pray and praise to your God from your hearts and great things will happen in your lives. He who loves you so much is coming again to save you. Be patient, loving and kind to all you meet, even to those who seem to be against my Son, and pray especially for those who reject and do not want to know Him or love Him. My Son loves them and His love has no bounds. Prayer in these times is the answer to darkness and all those in the Heavenly Army especially the innocent children with Me will push back the fetid darkness of the enemy he cannot stand the innocent unconditional love of the little ones.

I Mary, Mother of Jesus ask you to increase your prayer and come closer to my Maternal Heart, for here you will find my Son. Nothing is impossible to God, those who seem to be lost will be found and such rejoicing will be heard, so you also on earth my little ones pray with us and be part of the Confounding Light which the enemy cannot abide!

Mary"

O Emmanuel: O Emmanuel, king and lawgiver, desire of the nations, Saviour of all people, come and set us free, Lord our God. Isaiah had prophesied, The Lord himself will give you this sign: the Virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.

(Isaiah 7:14). Remember Emmanuel means God is with us.

Second Sunday of Advent

 
Second Sunday of Advent - Faith

Prepare the way of the Lord

Mark 1 v 1-8

1 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,

“See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,

    who will prepare your way;

3 the voice of one crying out in the wilderness:

    ‘Prepare the way of the Lord,

    make his paths straight,’”

4 John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 He proclaimed, “The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. 8 I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Advent comes from the Latin word 'adventus' which means to 'arrive', 'appear' or 'make an entrance'. Christians use this word to refer to the liturgical season in which we prepare to celebrate Christmas, and also our preparation for Christ's glorious return at His second coming.

In this second Sunday of Advent we have placed before us the figure of St John the Baptist, he calls for a renewal through repentance for the forgiveness of our sins:

Let us then turn away from our sins, repenting for them and asking God’s forgiveness so we can return to Our Lord with cleansed and open hearts to be ready for the celebration of His first coming and standing prepared for his second coming all the while being open to His presence here and now within and among us.

How will you use these remaining weeks of advent to prepare the way for the Lord in your own heart?

What is the Lord asking you to get ready for? 

What do you need to repent of?

Picture 

A picture of Our Blessed Mother opening a door.

“ My children open your hearts to Jesus my Son, do not ignore Him like the inn keepers who said they had no room for The King of Peace to be born. Your heart is a chamber of love in which my Son wishes to be born within. I stand before you and ask you to say yes to My Son, if you say yes to Him then just as the first shepherds visited our lowly abode and were filled with wonder and awe so shall your heart receive the wonder and awe of the Little King, other souls will recognise this grace within your hearts and so be drawn to my Son.

The Love of Jesus will make all hearts rise and sing, so make ready to receive and adore Him whom is all Truth and Light and whom is the Way and the Pattern for your life on Earth, bring your hearts as gifts before Him and He will not disappoint as He will deposit His Mighty Love within you. Your King knocks will you open up and receive Him? My little ones I intercede at all times for each of you.”

Mary

O Antiphons (continued)

O Radix Jesse: O Flower of Jesse's stem, you have been raised up as a sign for all peoples; kings stand silent in your presence; the nations bow down in worship before you. Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid. 

Isaiah had prophesied, But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. (Isaiah 11:1), and A On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious. (Isaiah 11:10). Remember also that Jesse was the father of King David, and Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be of the house and lineage of David and be born in Davids city, Bethlehem (Micah 5:1).

O Clavis David: O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel controlling at your will the gate of Heaven: Come, break down the prison walls of death for those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death; and lead your captive people into freedom.

Isaiah had prophesied, AI will place the Key of the House of David on His shoulder; when he opens, no one will shut, when he shuts, no one will open. (Isaiah 22:22), and His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David's throne, and over His kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever. (Isaiah 9:6).

First Sunday of Advent

 

Stay Awake 

Mark 13 v 33-37

 33 Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. 34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. 35 Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, 36 or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. 37 And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.”

The word 'advent' comes from the Latin 'adventus' meaning 'coming' or 'arrival'.

The focus of this first Sunday of Advent is on Jesus' second coming in Glory rather than on his first coming among us in humility. Are we prepared for the great day of His second coming? Are we awake and ready for Him?

Come Lord Jesus Come

Revelation 22:17
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let everyone who hears say, “Come.”

Lord as we reflect on the humility of Your first coming also help us to look with hope confidence and expectation towards Your second coming in glory power and triumph and in the meantime we pray that You would come into our hearts here and now. Come, Lord Jesus, come.

The O Antiphons refer to the seven antiphons that are recited (or chanted) preceding the Magnificat during Vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours. They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave before Christmas, Dec. 17-23, with Dec. 24 being Christmas Eve and Vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil.

The importance of O Antiphons is twofold: Each one highlights a title for the Messiah: O Sapientia (O Wisdom), O Adonai (O Lord), O Radix Jesse (O Root of Jesse), O Clavis David (O Key of David), O Oriens (O Rising Sun), O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations), and O Emmanuel. 

Also, each one refers to the prophecy of Isaiah relating to the coming of the Messiah.

We will look at these over the next few weeks of Advent:

O Sapientia:

O Wisdom, O holy Word of God, you govern all creation with your strong yet tender care. Come and show your people the way to salvation. 

Isaiah had prophesied, The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord, and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:2-3), and Wonderful is His counsel and great is His wisdom. (Isaiah 28:29).

O Adonai: 

O sacred Lord of ancient Israel, who showed yourself to Moses in the burning bush, who gave him the holy law on Sinai mountain: come, stretch out your mighty hand to set us free. 

Isaiah had prophesied, But He shall judge the poor with justice, and decide aright for the lands afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips. (Isaiah 11:4-5); and Indeed the Lord will be there with us, majestic; yes the Lord our judge, the Lord our lawgiver, the Lord our king, he it is who will save us. (Isaiah 33:22).

Picture

Picture of Blessed Mother kneeling so humbly and serenely with her head bowed, above her outstretched was a hand full of Light and above the hand was The Dove of Peace pouring a gentle breeze through the Light upon around and within Blessed Mother. Our Mother was replying to a conversation and Said “Yes”. As Our Mother stood up it was very evident that she was carrying her Son Jesus in her womb.

“My Dear Children you see that I carry my dear Son in my womb, my children you too can carry Jesus in your hearts each day and just as He grew in my womb so will He grow in your heart and just as He was born into the world, so will he be born again in you.
Say yes my children to your Saviour and He will do all things in you and for you as He did in me. If you have Faith and Trust in Him see how your relationship with Him will grow and your hearts will flourish, You will be able to lay your burdens down before His manger and rejoice even in the midst of all the confusion upon the Earth in these days, and you will be filled with Joy that the Son of God, the Most High is once again born into your hearts.
My dear ones Love conquers all, do say yes to receiving Him your Saviour and you will see great improvements in your prayer lives and your work for Gods Kingdom throughout the World, He who Loves unconditionally will make your concerns His own, remember that His Love outweighs all obstacles for He truly is The Son Of God, The Most High, and worthy of all Praise. Love Him my dear ones as He Loves you.
Mary Mother of Jesus and your Mother too."

Theotokos Prayer Group Update No 31

Eternal Father, whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven that he might rule over all things as Lord and King: keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace, and bring the whole created order to worship at his feet; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen

God the Father, help us to hear the call of Christ the King and to follow in his service, whose kingdom has no end; for he reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, one glory. Amen.

Stir up, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that they bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by you be richly rewarded: through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen

A Picture of a dark sky, lit up with twinkling stars. Our Blessed Mother with Our Lord are carefully listening to calls of help from souls on earth. People are requesting forgiveness, and asking for help, they are pleading and saying sorry. Jesus plucks the Earth from the black sky and places it within The Immaculate Heart of His Mother Mary, Her Heart moves out from Her body and entwines with The Most Sacred Heart of Her Son Jesus, and His Mercy flows, So great is His Mercy that many conversions can be seen upon the Earth, many people saying we stand with You O Son Of God, we love You Jesus, we love You Holy Spirit and Father. Thank You for giving us your Son and thank you Blessed Mother for your Prayers. ‎
‎“My Children pray, pray, pray, Souls will be saved through your prayer, your sacrifices and your praise, but mostly by showing your love, for my Son cannot withhold His Great Mercy from those who love Him and stand with Him‎.
‎Mary‎"

Theotokos Prayer Group update No. 30

 

Dear friends,

In November we continue to pray for the dead:

"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen."

In recent years, perhaps no Catholic doctrine has been more misunderstood by Catholics themselves than the doctrine of Purgatory. Consequently, we tend to downplay it, even seem a little embarrassed by it, and it is the Holy Souls who suffer because of our discomfort with the doctrine.

Purgatory is not, as many people think, one last trial; all of those who make it to Purgatory will one day be in Heaven. Purgatory is where those who have died in grace, but who have not fully atoned for the temporal punishments resulting from their sins, go to finish their atonement before entering Heaven. A soul in Purgatory may suffer, but he has the assurance that he will ultimately enter Heaven when his punishment is complete. Catholics believe Purgatory is an expression of God's love, His desire to cleanse our souls of all that might keep us from experiencing the fullness of joy in Heaven.

As Christians, we don't travel through this world alone. Our salvation is wrapped up with the salvation of others, and charity requires us to come to their aid. The same is true of the Holy Souls. In their time in Purgatory, they can pray for us, and we should pray for the faithful departed that they may be freed from the punishment for their sins and enter into Heaven.

We should pray for the dead throughout the year, especially on the anniversary of their death, but in this Month of the Holy Souls, we should devote some time every day to prayer for the dead. We should start with those closest to us—our mother and father, for instance—but we should also offer prayers for all the souls, and especially for those most forsaken.

We believe that those Holy Souls for whom we pray will continue to pray for us after they have been released from Purgatory. If we live Christian lives, we too will likely find ourselves in Purgatory someday, and our acts of charity toward the Holy Souls there now will ensure that they remember us before the throne of God when we are most in need of prayers. It's a comforting thought, and one that should encourage us, especially in this month of November, to offer our prayers for the Holy Souls.

Remembrance Sunday

 We shall remember them..

We remember those who have lost their lives as a result of war;

Young soldiers, dispatched to far-away places, never to return

And civilians, young and old, caught in the crossfire of conflict.

Loving God, bring healing to families torn apart by war.

Comfort those who mourn for their loved ones.

Lord, hear us,

Lord, graciously hear us.

In the month of November we pray for all the dead and think particularly of all those who have died from Covid throughout the world.

Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual peace shine upon them. 

May they rest in peace. Amen

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We want you to be quite certain, brothers, about those who have died, to make sure that you do not grieve about them, like the other people who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that it will be the same for those who have died in Jesus: God will bring them with him. We can tell you this from the Lord’s own teaching, that any of us who are left alive until the Lord’s coming will not have any advantage over those who have died. At the trumpet of God, the voice of the archangel will call out the command and the Lord himself will come down from heaven; those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise, and then those of us who are still alive will be taken up in the clouds, together with them; to meet the Lord in the air. So we shall stay with the Lord for ever. With such thoughts as these you should comfort one another.

Dear Friends, 

A picture of Jesus, from His Heart He takes out a candle lit lantern and he places it before His Beloved Mother Mary, she in turn takes a taper and herself lights the lamps of all her children one by one and they all return to their homes and each puts their lamp into the window shedding light in the terrible darkness which seems to be all around. The lamps burn brighter and many people see them and are drawn to the Pulsing Light within them, those in whom only darkness could be seen can now quite clearly see the Way to the Light.

“ You my dear children must continue to be The Light Of Christ to others in these darkest of times, open your hearts and receive the Light of Life. Your lives must continue to emulate that of My Son Jesus and like a shining lamp in the window of your heart others will recognise His Light and come close to it. Even though sorrow and pain exist in and around you, this Light will uphold you, heal you, free you and fill you and then people will recognise My Son in you and this will draw others to the Light of My Son and so in turn they too will receive the upholding, healing, freeing filling gift from The Holy Spirit, my dear ones pray with your heart let the Light be seen in you, do not be afraid, I am with you and pray with and for you!”
My Motherly Blessing in Jesus is with you!
Mary".

John 8 v 12

¹² When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Theotokos Prayer Group Update No 28

 

Dear friends,

A picture of a huge Angel, he comes pouring oil of great light and lustre over all believing homes, The Angel uttered, “ Receive the Grace of Peace and Joy, once again in your homes”. Then the homes of all the faithful lit up like beacons and the light seemed to expand and join up till the light from all the homes rose upward into the sky forming a huge Temple of Light.
"My Children, can you see the Great Grace The Father in Heaven has sent you, let your hearts be at Peace and truly you will find Joy in your lives once more. In My Son’s Name, Jesus, let your homes become havens of peace, pray in His Name, witnessing by your lives in His Name, then not only your hearts but your homes will become like Temples standing tall among all other buildings and like a spire on a building the light of Jesus will draw home the flock of wandering aimless sheep, they will return  to the Grace of Peace and Joy and be so affected they will come back to the Blessed Sheepfold.
Nourish your hearts with the Eucharist, pray with Peace in your hearts for the conversion of souls that even at the last hour they will be saved, Live as an example of the Truth, The Word Of My Son.
Mary"

Luke 15 v 1 -10

1. Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 So he told them this parable: 4 “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
8 “Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
