Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No 20 - Pentecost Sunday


 

Pentecost is here!


Acts 2 v1-4
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.

Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner, I believe you died for me.
I welcome you into my heart in a whole new way, come into my life and take control.
Baptise me in the Holy Spirit and give me your gifts so I may serve the Church and help build your Kingdom.
Thank you for promising that you will never leave me or forsake me.
I love you Jesus ,my Lord and my God. Amen


Picture
A picture of the World spinning out of control, It is covered in a black thick sticky layer.
St Michael is cutting through the layer of black covering the World, as he slices through the true beauty of the World is revealed, Then light shines down upon the World and people praise the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

“My children pray as you have never prayed before, Your brothers and sisters who act against God and His mighty ways are so in need of spiritual sustenance. If you who know God do not pray for them, how will they be drawn to the Fathers great love and also my Sons Sacrifice will have been in vain. 
Pray my little ones with humility in your hearts, with love in your hearts and with faith in your hearts that these poor souls these poor poor children will see the light and be filled with the Holy Spirit and so turn back to the path the Father in Heaven has set out for them. They are so immersed in the darkness of the Evil One, that they need a final outpouring of your faith filled prayer and this will help them! 
Believe that the Holy Spirit will fill you and use you for the glory of God and so bring them home with prayer and sacrifice! Nothing is impossible if you pray in love and work in the Divine Will of the Holy Trinity. 
Pentecost was real and the people of that time marvelled at the workings of the Holy Spirit, that same Spirit is within each of you, you are little but God magnifies His works through you, as your Mother I plead with you not to waste this special time of Pentecost, the Lord says ask and you shall receive, so my little ones ask and the Father will send graces down upon all those you pray for! 
I am your Mother and with you I will pray united with the Holy Spirit and with you ! The darkness will be pushed aside and the scales will fall from their eyes and they will return to my Son Jesus, He who loves them so, Then all will be well.
Mary”

Psalm 104 v 30
30 When you send forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.


Holy Spirit, by your light
you guide this world towards the Father’s love
and accompany creation as it groans in travail.
You also dwell in our hearts
and you inspire us to do what is good.
Praise be to you

Intercessions

In the Month of May we are asked to pray with the Holy Father for an end to the Pandemic
PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR PROMOTION
OF THE NEW EVANGELIZATION

“Prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God”
(cf. Acts 12:5)

Let us pray for the end of the pandemic united in the recitation of the Holy Rosary together with the Shrines around the world.

We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
In the present tragic situation, when the whole world is prey to suffering and anxiety, we fly to you, Mother of God and our Mother, and seek refuge under your protection.
Virgin Mary, turn your merciful eyes towards us amid this coronavirus pandemic. Comfort those who are distraught and mourn their loved ones who have died, and at times are buried in a way that grieves them deeply. Be close to those who are concerned for their loved ones who are sick and who, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, cannot be close to them. Fill with hope those who are troubled by the uncertainty of the future and the consequences for the economy and employment.
Mother of God and our Mother, pray for us to God, the Father of mercies, that this great suffering may end and that hope and peace may dawn anew. Plead with your divine Son, as you did at Cana, so that the families of the sick and the victims be comforted, and their hearts be opened to confidence and trust.
Protect those doctors, nurses, health workers and volunteers who are on the frontline of this emergency, and are risking their lives to save others. Support their heroic effort and grant them strength, generosity, and continued health.
Mary, Consolation of the afflicted, embrace all your children in distress and pray that God will stretch out his all-powerful hand and free us from this terrible pandemic, so that life can serenely resume its normal course.
To you, who shine on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope, do we entrust ourselves, O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.
