Theotokos Prayer Group update no. 14

Picture of a Congregation at Mass, a Priest was proclaiming the Word of God, some were listening and others not listening as well. The letters on the page seemed to rise off the page and go into the attentive listeners Hearts, for those who were not listening properly the letters missed their mark and fell on to dead ground.
 
“My Children, My Son comes to you in many ways, one of the most important in these times is in The most Holy Scripture.

My Son is The Word of God made Flesh, come close to Him and be attentive and open your Hearts to receive Him.

Take His word into your Hearts and ponder it as I did when Jesus was under my Heart in my womb, I carried Him and pondered, and Love and Grace poured into Me helping Me to receive The Little Prince of Love in great Peace.

This Peace and Love I was able to take to Elizabeth and Zechariah and all those around them, you too can ponder His word and let it enter fully into your Hearts and His word will fall on fertile ground and not be wasted and miss the mark and fall on the hard ground. 

If you open your Hearts to His word you will abide in Peace and Love and will withstand any calamities that My adversary sends your way. 

Please remember My Jesus is always within you when you read or proclaim His word, for Jesus is The Word, He is The Way, He is The Life within you, let not My adversary take that Peace and Love away from you, the prince of the world is counterfeit, ignore him and carry on proclaiming the True Words of Christ, pray and fast, make sacrifice for those Poor Souls who do not know Him, and pray for my Priest Sons who are so dear to Our Two Hearts.
With My Maternal Love Mary"

Romans 10 v 17

17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of God.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS WE TRUST IN YOU,

SACRED HEART OF JESUS HAVE MERCY ON US,
IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY PRAY FOR US

Matthew 11:28 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
28 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

Picture of Chaos all around in our world. Our Blessed Mother beckons us to come to Her and Her Son Jesus who is lavishing His Healing Mercy upon our world.

"My children turn your eyes from the chaos around you, and open the eyes of your heart to My Immaculate Heart, here you will find Peace and Serenity of Spirit from all around you, and you will gather Spiritual Strength to pray and fast against the enemy of My Son Jesus.
Consecrate yourselves, your families, your priests and your churches to the Sacred Heart of my Son and to My Immaculate Heart and you will find boundless graces of strength fortitude and Love to carry you through these chaotic times. Jesus pours His Mercy upon the earth but you will only receive fully from it if you turn away from the wiles of my adversary and pray and fast. My Children listen to Me your Mother, I love you and want only the best for you. Please turn to Our two Hearts and like an oasis of peace in a desert you will find within you the ability to go on as a force of Good against the evil onslaught. Now is the time to fight but not with weapons of hatred, but with weapons of Love, by praying against the plans of my Adversary, you are my little army of love, so in love and humility pray for the very soul of Mankind, that they will come to the knowledge of my all loving Son Jesus.
Mary."

Theotokos Prayer Group Update No. 12

Picture of Our Lord standing to the right and Our Lady to the left of a person.
Jesus’ Heart is overflowing with Love and Mercy, but he weeps as these gifts are rejected, this persons heart seems to be blocked by flotsam of sticks and stones of sin and resentment and so the Healing gifts of Love and Mercy cannot penetrate and touch this persons heart.
Our Blessed Mother turns to the people of prayer asking for prayer and sacrifice and immediately the dam of sin and resentment starts to shift allowing God’s Healing Mercy and Love to enter.
“ My People, I your Jesus ask you to pray and fast for those of My People who cannot feel My Presence or receive My Mercy and Love because they have built a barrier within their hearts with sin, and I their Saviour cannot inundate them with My Mercy or My Most Heartfelt Love, this grieves me so terribly that I weep for love of them.
You who are faithful to Me and the ways of My Mother, Pray and Fast for My people that cannot or will not pray themselves so that My Mercy shall and will overcome the Hardest and most sinful of hearts.
My Mother prays with you and for you for she truly is your mother and the Mother of I your Salvation.
Jesus"

This sung Divine Mercy Chaplet is beautiful:

Theotokos Prayer Group Update No. 10

Happy Pentecost Feast Day 🕊 

Clayne has shared this picture today:
Picture of Jesus descending above a group of people brought before Him by The Blessed Mother and Her Angels. The Light of the Father emanates from the Heart of Jesus, The Spirit flows forth upon the tired and bedraggled people in the form of glistening waves and Pools of Oil, these are those that have consecrated themselves to The Holy Spirit and the Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary, they are instantly refreshed and invigorated and they sing and pray in thankfulness. The refreshed people go out to their families and So on out through the world praying fasting and doing all that they can for the conversion of Souls.

“My Children you are tired but This Most Holy Of Days you will be invigorated By The Holy Spirit, your gifts will be Magnified for the Glory of God to draw all Men from My adversary, do not be afraid for The Holy Spirit will speak withIn You and for you and you will draw Men and Women to the Font of Love and Mercy which is My Son Jesus. This work is Paramount for many are ignoring the Call of Love from My Son, their ears are so filled with the things of the earth instead of the glories of Heaven I beseech you to use the gifts The Holy Spirit has enlarged within You. My Children I am with you and My cohort of Angels aid and watch over you.“
Mary

Theotokos Prayer Group Update No. 9

COME HOLY SPIRIT, COME

Acts 1 v 12-14

12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers

Mary, Bride of the Spirit, pray for us

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

HOLY SPIRIT
On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer my-
self, body and soul to You, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of
Your purity, the unerring keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your
love. You are the Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move. I
desire never to grieve You by unfaithfulness to grace and I pray with all my
heart to be kept from the smallest sin against You. Mercifully guard my
every thought and grant that I may always watch for Your light, and listen
to Your voice, and follow Your gracious inspirations. I cling to You and give
myself to You and ask You, by Your compassion to watch over me in my
weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus and looking at His Five
Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring His opened Side
and stricken Heart, I implore You, Adorable Spirit, Helper of my infirmity,
to keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You. Give me grace, O
Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You always and every-
where, "Speak Lord for Your servant is listening." Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE SEVEN GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
 Lord Jesus Christ, before ascending into heaven You promised to send the
Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your Apostles and Disciples.
Grant the same Holy Spirit to me that He may perfect in my soul, the work of
Your grace and Your love. Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise
the perishable things of this world and only desire the things that are eternal;
the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my mind with the light of Your di-
vine truth; the Spirit of Counsel that I may always choose the way of pleasing
God and gaining heaven; the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross
with You and overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salva-
tion; the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and myself and grow
perfect on the path to holiness; the Spirit of Piety that I may seek to serve
God and His Church; and the Spirit of Fear and Awe that I may be filled with
a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him.
Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Your true disciples and inspire me in all
things with Your Spirit. Amen.
