Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No.19


 

Pentecost is coming 23 May 2021

Come Holy Spirit!

John 16 v 7 - 15
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; 11 about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

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 Our Blessed Lord ascending to the Father and the Holy Spirit, the three became one bright light that shone in brilliance! Our Blessed Mother stood on top of the World and the light from the Holy Trinity seemed to enter her and fill her and Our Mother became the Light of Grace. Her rich coloured clothes swayed in the breeze from the Holy Spirit and from her Immaculate Heart came highly perfumed petals of roses which the breeze took down upon the Earth, especially to places of great need and places of great prayer.

“My Children when you pray to the Holy Trinity, blessings and hope cascade down to you, these blessings and hope are diverted to all those most in need at this time. My Children continue to pray and make sacrifice for your poor blind brothers and sisters that they would turn to my Son Jesus and there find the refuge of hope that they need in these difficult times. My Son awaits with such love and mercy in His Heart for the lost as He does at the Gate of the Heavenly Sheepfold that they may come to know how much love His Heart contains for each one of them. Your prayers are never ignored although you may not see the fruits of them till you are with us in Heaven. Keep faith and hope in your hearts and gird these with love then all will be well and all of Heaven will rejoice with you. I am continually at your side in your endeavours and prayers, I am your Mother and like a true mother I will never leave you till you are safe by my side in Heaven. Call on the Holy Spirit to guide you and my Listening ear will hear also and join Him to help you.
Mary”

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.
