Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No 34

 Luke 12 v 35-37

35 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; 36 be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them.

John 14 v 22-24
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me.

Picture
Jesus in great splendour as King, He is knocking on the door and entering into a room, it is the Room of Meeting, not subject and King, but lover and beloved!

“My children I knock and knock at the door of your heart, continually asking you to conform your free will to My Holy Will. As I knock some hearts open quickly and invite Me in, and we have a quiet meeting full of Peace, no need for speech, and your heart remains in My Will. 
Others finally open their door and seem lost and besieged, I tell you now, I Jesus, if you open yourself to Me I will change your heart and will and together we will make progress and your life will change for the better. 
There are others and the door to their hearts is only open a chink, and so it is difficult to enter, I Jesus stand at your door and ask you let Me in and you will never regret doing so for I shall pour out My Spirit upon you and together we will work on conforming your will to that of the Trinity. 
For those whose door is firmly shut, I ask you My dear people to pray and make sacrifice that the door of these hearts will swing open and let My light search and find them. Oh My people I Am your King and yet My Heart is broken at the door, and so like a beggar I knock and call continually, come back to Me, do not be afraid, I know your weakness, we will work together until we are in complete union. My child I love you and My love is never ending, and like a dried up river bed, I desire to bring you back to the fulness of life gushing with flowing waters, the waters of life, My life and yours, Me in you and you in Me. Listen My little one do you hear Me pounding on your door, open and let Me in, My tears fall like rain on the barren Earth, I love you so!
Jesus”

Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No.33

 


1 John 5 v 6 - 12

6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth. 7 There are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree. 9 If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son. 10 Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.


Romans 12 v 12

12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. 


Picture
A picture of Our Blessed Lord on the Cross.
Our Blessed Mother is kneeling at the foot of the Cross, Our Mother produces from her Most Immaculate Heart many small pieces of parchment, they are highly fragranced by her entreaties, her love and her humble actions before her Son’s Cross. These are the petitions of her children as she places them at the foot of her Son’s Sorrowful Cross.
The Blood of Jesus pours out upon them, some are answered immediately, others will be in a short while, others to be answered when it Is the correct time.

“My children, I your most humble Mother present continually your prayers your needs before my Son, you will notice that I present them at the foot of my Son’s Cross, this is most efficacious as it is by His shedding of Blood that all is purified and made whole. 
My children if you come to the foot of my Son’s Cross and place yourself close to Him He will answer you.
Be still and know Him. 
My children continue to pray for your brothers and sisters who are in such need of my Son’s healing Blood and the Holy action of the Spirit in their lives.
Pray for my Priest son’s so dear to my Immaculate Heart, that they would be strong and persevere in the service of my Son, leaving all things aside except for exercising their true vocation that is bringing to my Son, souls who will love Him. This is achieved by way of the Holy Sacraments as laid down by my Son’s Apostles. 
You my dear ones can help them in this work  by your prayer sacrifice and fasting, then my Priest sons and you my children will shine like jewels in a Crown, full of beauty and clarity and so shed light for others to follow. 
My children if you sit at the foot of my Son’s Cross and come ever closer to Him you will not be disappointed and your love will be magnified and multiplied for other poor souls benefiting not only them but your own poor souls too.
I your Mother most humble Servant of God spread my mantle over you!
Mary”

Novena for Afghanistan

 

Sunday 15 August 2021

Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No 32 - Assumption of the Virgin Mary

 Luke 1:46-55

46 And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
48 for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant.
    Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
50 His mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
    and lifted up the lowly;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
    and sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
55 according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
    to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”



"Taken up into heaven, Mary shows us the way to God, the way to heaven, the way to life. She shows it to her children baptized in Christ and to all people of good will. She opens this way especially to the little ones and to the poor, those who are dear to divine mercy. The Queen of the world reveals to individuals and to nations the power of the love of God whose plan upsets that of the proud, pulls down the mighty from their thrones and exalts the humble, fills the hungry with good things and sends the rich empty away" (cf Luke 1:51-53) (Pope John Paul II, Homily at St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome, Aug. 15, 1999). 

Picture
Our Blessed Mother with a Crown of resplendent stars upon her head, she is kneeling at the foot of her Son’s Cross. The wound in his side is pouring out blood and water, cascading down upon the World as libation for sins.

“My dear children,
I ask all of you to dedicate your lives your souls, your wealth, your poverty all that is within you and belongs to you especially the souls of your families and the forgotten souls to my Immaculate Heart on this my Feast Day of my Assumption, and like any good mother I will present them to my Son and He shall pour down afresh upon you through His Great Sacrifice the libation of grace like a torrent.
This grace will strengthen you in your innermost being and so you will be able to set aside the difficulties and snares of my adversary and continue on to pray for the souls furthest from my Son Jesus. These souls are beloved ,as you are, and so draw them to His Broken Heart. 
My children this day of rejoicing I offer on your behalf to the Father, my Son Jesus and to the Holy Spirit, like a good mother who protects her little ones I am with you in all your endeavours, pray as I do in the Divine Will of Jesus.
My Maternal Blessing through Jesus my Son I place upon you!
Mary"

John 6 v35

35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.


Picture
A picture of a Tabernacle wide open with the Holy Host shining like the Moon within.
Also a picture of our Blessed Mother carrying her Son in her womb.
Mary says:
"My children my own womb was the first blessed Tabernacle to contain the Son Of God the Most High, my person, my being, my very soul took up and carried this gift with all the grace within me. 
My children when you receive my Son in the Most Holy Eucharist, receive Him with as much grace, fervour, holiness and love as you are capable of, always think about the great gift of Jesus residing within you. 
Bring all your troubles and tribulations to Him asking for the grace to leave them at the foot of His Holy Cross, and then my little ones receive Him who is Love, Mercy and Healing to your soul. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and so enthrone him within your being, He could never let you down as He is Love, my little ones try to emulate Him as best you can in this fallen World, and others will be drawn to my Son.
I place my maternal mantle over you.
Mary"
