Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 Update No 37

 “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”

Gospel – Mark 9:30-37
30 Jesus and his disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish anyone to know about it.
31 He was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.”
32 But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
33 They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”
34 But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest.
35 Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”
36 Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them,
37 “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”

Do I serve God and others or just myself?

Do I receive those I meet as if I were receiving Jesus?
Do I want to be first, do I see everything as revolving around me?

Jesus grant me humility to be of service to you and others, help me see you in those around me and to see that not everything is about me. 

Picture

Picture of Our Blessed Mother, Her Immaculate Heart exposed.
“My Dear Children I speak to each of you individually from my Most Immaculate Heart with love and joy because you have cooperated so well with my many heartfelt requests.

But now my little ones, I ask you each in these most difficult times to redouble your efforts and fortify your souls with joyful prayer, you must shine like beacons in a dark world, and so in seeing you thus, others will be drawn to my Son Jesus their Saviour. When it seems almost impossible to be joyful, loving and kind turn immediately to the refuge of my Immaculate Heart and there you shall find a well of my motherly acts and in my Sons Divine Will these will fortify and fill you with grace to carry on. 

My adversary is strong but together we will quietly and in all humility without great fanfare demolish his strongholds and so my Son will set His people free. 

Prayer can move mountains, prayer can turn disaster on its heel and bring light into hopeless situations. My Heart is your sanctuary, my Heart is your refuge, my Heart will lead you always to truth and the ways of my Son Jesus.

My children you are precious and I carry you always in the refuge of my Heart ever leading you to Salvation, that is to my Son Jesus.
Mary”
