Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No.15

Peace be with you!


Luke 24:35-48

35 Then they told their story of what had happened on the road and how they had recognised him at the breaking of bread.

36 They were still talking about all this when he himself stood among them and said to them, 'Peace be with you!'

37 In a state of alarm and fright, they thought they were seeing a ghost.

38 But he said, 'Why are you so agitated, and why are these doubts stirring in your hearts?

39 See by my hands and my feet that it is I myself. Touch me and see for yourselves; a ghost has no flesh and bones as you can see I have.'

40 And as he said this he showed them his hands and his feet.

41 Their joy was so great that they still could not believe it, as they were dumbfounded; so he said to them, 'Have you anything here to eat?'

42 And they offered him a piece of grilled fish,

43 which he took and ate before their eyes.

44 Then he told them, 'This is what I meant when I said, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, in the Prophets and in the Psalms, was destined to be fulfilled.'

45 He then opened their minds to understand the scriptures,

46 and he said to them, 'So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,

47 and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 You are witnesses to this.


Jesus you say to us "Peace be with you". 

Help us to recognise the peace of your presence with us even in our times of darkness, difficulty and stress.

Take away our doubts in the reality of your presence with us now and always. Amen



Picture

Picture of Our Lord in a small boat, Our Lord is looking at the sea to find a lost soul, he points the boat in the correct direction as He sees the soul almost but not quite drowned, he pulls the person into the boat and gently touches their face, removing the seaweed and grit in their hair and slowly the soul awakens. The soul feels so loved and safe with Our Lord, it never again wants to leave Him.

“My dear children when you pray, your act of prayer  especially when said in my Son’s Holy and Divine Will, acts as a refuge for some poor soul in need of assistance. My children you may never see the results of your prayers said on Earth but when you come into my Son’s Kingdom all your saving acts will be before you and those that you have helped with prayer will rejoice along with all of Heaven. The smallest prayer in my Son’s Will is an act for the whole Body of The Church, we are all one body united in Him and united to the Father and the Holy Spirit. 
I ask you to be vigilant and look to help poor souls with your heartfelt prayers, Your prayer could be the difference between the persons soul turning to God and being saved or sadly them turning away from Redemption. Much vigilant prayer is needed at this moment in time, you must fortify yourselves with the Holy Sacraments and these will enable you to do the will of my Son. Call on me and I shall respond in your need, I am your Mother and know how to help you in all you do.
Mary."
