Prayer can move mountains

Notes of meeting on 25 February 2020

Picture of Our Lady before the Cross of her Crucified Son. This group among many others from all over the world were praying with her. There was a mountain and as we prayed it shook and shifted about 100 feet to the East revealing a clear path leading to a beautiful landscape and high up for all to see was the City of God, pure and white, a marvel to the eye.

Our Lady says: "My children prayer can move mountains, prayer can bring love, prayer can bring faith, prayer can bring miracles of conversion. Your prayers push the Holy Spirit to release abundant graces which will release from bondage those in your families and friends who have stubbornly ignored prayer and the chances of conversion.
My children prayer is the key, constant prayer turns the key so that grace is poured out in torrents on those who need it most. People who have resigned themselves to sin and no hope by the mighty work of the Spirit will be brought to the Cross of my Merciful Son and will be saved. Those whom you consider unlovable, untouchable and immoral with the help of the Holy Spirit and prayer will be brought to grace. Pray for them as I pray for the gift of renewed prayer within each of you.
The saving of souls is paramount, I ask you to be constant in your prayer life offering the most mundane acts to my Son in reparation for souls. Present all to the Will of God.
My children I love you and in loving me together we will help Jesus who weeps for love of His Own.
Mary."

Perserverance

Notes of meeting on 18 February 2020

Picture of Jesus staggering under the weight of the Cross and a woman wiping the blood, spittle and sweat from His face.

Mary says: "My children, instead of a cloth to wipe my Son Jesus' brow, I wish you to present Him with your pliable loving hearts. Jesus will imprint upon them not only His likeness but the many gifts and graces you need in these times. Gifts of Love, Purity, Truth, Perseverance and graces to uphold you and draw others to you. You will see Him who is all Love, all Truth and all Purity. The Holy Spirit acting within and around you will give you Perseverance thus enabling you through prayer, fasting, good deeds and sacrifices to bring souls to Him for special graces.
As you repeatedly bring Jesus your hearts He will live in you more and more until finally you will start to resemble Him in heart, mind and spirit.
My children go often to the Sacraments for in your fallen world it is only these and the Will of my Son that will strengthen you and enable you to act as true apostles of His Love.
My children I cosset you in my Heart as I did my little baby son Jesus.
Mary"

Luke 23 v 44-49
44 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, 45 while the sun’s light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last. 47 When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.” 48 And when all the crowds who had gathered there for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they returned home, beating their breasts. 49 But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Come to my Son Jesus on His Cross

Notes of meeting on 4 February 2020

Picture of a Cross on a hill faraway.
Mary says: "My children when your lives seem so complicated and your time seems to be frustrated with problems of life, come to my Son Jesus on His Cross, there all things can be put into perspective.
This is the time of Calvary, so open your hearts and let your heart be immolated to the Heart of Jesus, He will soothe your hearts and place within them the little cross which you must carry with love.
Every time you pray or when you feel alone know that Jesus is within you and remind yourself that Jesus put His Cross within you. If you were to be stripped of everything even your clothes my adversary could not take away your dignity as a child of God or the mark of Jesus' ownership over your lives.
My children the Cross is your altar come often and pray 'Thy Will be done'. His will be done in your lives and the lives of others. Every time you pray it will be as though with Christ my Son you lay down your life with Him.
Time is ever moving and Jesus requires your help to bring all sheep into the safe haven of His Sheepfold.
Pray for your shepherds and pray for those who's hearts seem to be so lost.
Mary."

1 Corinthians 4
Think of us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive commendation from God. I have applied all this to Apollos and myself for your benefit, brothers and sisters, so that you may learn through us the meaning of the saying, “Nothing beyond what is written,” so that none of you will be puffed up in favour of one against another. For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift? Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Quite apart from us you have become kings! Indeed, I wish that you had become kings, so that we might be kings with you! For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, as though sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to mortals. 10 We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honour, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless, 12 and we grow weary from the work of our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day. 14 I am not writing this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15 For though you might have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers. Indeed, in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16 I appeal to you, then, be imitators of me. 17 For this reason I sent you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, as I teach them everywhere in every church. 18 But some of you, thinking that I am not coming to you, have become arrogant. 19 But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I will find out not the talk of these arrogant people but their power. 20 For the kingdom of God depends not on talk but on power. 21 What would you prefer? Am I to come to you with a stick, or with love in a spirit of gentleness?

My children I stand with you before the Cross of my Son



Notes of meeting on 28 January 2019

Picture of many people praying with Our Blessed Mother before the Cross of her Son Jesus.
As the people prayed more and more so the light grew larger and people from the great darkness appeared and fell on their knees before the Cross.

Mary says: "My children open your hearts even wider to receive the graces and gifts for which my Maternal Heart has prayed for. This is to enable you to fulfil your solemn mission of drawing the lost and sinful to the Great Mercy of my Son.
Make frequent confession to keep yourselves as free from sin as possible my Jesus knows how hard with your fallen nature it is but keep trying and doing those things which I have often asked you to do with much more fervour and regularity.
Daily Mass where possible, daily Rosary, frequent confession, making little sacrifices and fast if possible as and when you can. This does not preclude you from the good things as well in your life but seek a more measured way of living remembering those who have nothing not even Faith.
Your prayers and privations will cause a great light to lead others to my Son Jesus and will cause goodness to overflow from you to others.
Where there is hatred pray for Love.
Where there is revenge pray for Love.
Where there is need and want pray in Love for those in need.
My children when you are attacked verbally or in extreme cases physically or with ill-health offer these tragedy's to Jesus and He in Love will transform them into victories of Love.
My children I stand with you before the Cross of my Son as we learn to love together.
Pray for my Priest sons that their lives are lived in Love and Truth.
Mary your ever Maternal Mother"


1 Peter 5
Now as an elder myself and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as one who shares in the glory to be revealed, I exhort the elders among you to tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it—not for sordid gain but eagerly. Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock. And when the chief shepherd appears, you will win the crown of glory that never fades away. In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you must clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for
“God opposes the proud,
    but gives grace to the humble.”

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. 10 And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
12 Through Silvanus, whom I consider a faithful brother, I have written this short letter to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it. 13 Your sister church in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.






Extract from writings of  Luisa Piccarreta :

Then, unable to contain the love with which You love them, You kiss the Cross again, and say: “Adored Cross, finally I embrace you. You were the longing of my Heart, the martyrdom of my love. But you, O Cross, have delayed until now, while my steps were always toward you. Holy Cross, you were the goal of my desires, the purpose of my existence down here. In you I concentrate my whole being, in you I place all my children, and you will be their life, their light, defence, custody and strength. You will assist them in everything, and will bring them gloriously to Me in Heaven. Oh Cross, Pulpit of Wisdom, you alone will teach true sanctity; you alone will form the heroes, the athletes, the martyrs, the Saints. Beautiful Cross, you are my Throne, and since I have to leave the earth, you will remain in my place. To you I give all souls as dowry—keep them, save them; I entrust them to you!
