Dear friends,
All Saints of God pray for us!
Revelation 7:2–4, 9–14
I, John, saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea, “Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand marked from every tribe of the children of Israel. After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.” All the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They prostrated themselves before the throne, worshiped God, and exclaimed: “Amen. Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanksgiving, honour, power, and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” Then one of the elders spoke up and said to me, “Who are these wearing white robes, and where did they come from?” I said to him, “My lord, you are the one who knows.” He said to me, “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the Blood of the Lamb.”

Picture
A picture of Our Blessed Mother, around her and from within her seemed to be streams and rays of crystal clear light with all colours of the rainbow.
Our Mother indicates with her hand and we can see people destined for the fires of Hell, fear, shame and sorrow overtake them and in their distress they call out to Jesus.
Our Mother indicates with her hand and we can see people destined for the fires of Hell, fear, shame and sorrow overtake them and in their distress they call out to Jesus.
Blessed Mother takes out her Rosary and prays with us and so the people destined for Hell are scooped up by the Fathers all encompassing Love, they then pass time doing penance but know deep within their heart they are saved.
Then Blessed Mother at the allotted time calls them and accompanies them herself with many angels to Jesus, they feel the joy, the peace and the love of being in His presence with no more shame, no more sorrow just the all enveloping Love of God the Father around them and In them and so they feel at one with Our Lord and able to at last look upon Him.
Heaven Rejoices.
“My children, praying and cooperating with the Holy Spirit from the heart can achieve mighty works and acts, I your Mother call you continually to pray with me to save the poor lost souls. When you do so the Heart of the Father cannot deny graces to the lost and so they are saved.
My little ones pray that the lost will be saved, pray that the fallen will seek the Heart of my Son and be healed.

Pray for your countries your Priests and your families, but my little ones pray always for the gift of humility within your own hearts, for my Son cannot resist a heart filled with humility and prayer said with sincerity.
He acts in love and so multiplies the graces of the Father and so more souls are saved.
All can and will be achieved together through our prayers and the great sacrifice of my Son Jesus.
I bless you in the name of my Son Jesus.

Dear BBC listeners, good morning!
Climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic have exposed our deep vulnerability and raised numerous doubts and concerns about our economic systems and the way we organize our societies.
We have lost our sense of security, and are experiencing a sense of powerlessness and loss of control over our lives.
We find ourselves increasingly frail and even fearful, caught up in a succession of “crises” in the areas of health care, the environment, food supplies and the economy, to say nothing of social, humanitarian and ethical crises. All these crises are profoundly interconnected. They also forecast a “perfect storm” that could rupture the bonds holding our society together within the greater gift of God’s creation.
Every crisis calls for vision, the ability to formulate plans and put them rapidly into action, to rethink the future of the world, our common home, and to reassess our common purpose.
These crises present us with the need to take decisions, radical decisions that are not always easy. At the same time, moments of difficulty like these also present opportunities, opportunities that we must not waste.
We can confront these crises by retreating into isolationism, protectionism and exploitation. Or we can see in them a real chance for change, a genuine moment of conversion, and not simply in a spiritual sense.
This last approach alone can guide us towards a brighter horizon. Yet it can only be pursued through a renewed sense of shared responsibility for our world, and an effective solidarity based on justice, a sense of our common destiny and a recognition of the unity of our human family in God’s plan for the world.
All this represents an immense cultural challenge. It means giving priority to the common good, and it calls for a change in perspective, a new outlook, in which the dignity of every human being, now and in the future, will guide our ways of thinking and acting.
The most important lesson we can take from these crises is our need to build together, so that there will no longer be any borders, barriers or political walls for us to hide behind.
Some days ago, on 4 October, I met with religious leaders and scientists to sign a Joint Appeal in which we called upon ourselves and our political leaders to act in a more responsible and consistent manner. I was impressed by something said by one of the scientists present at that meeting. He told us: “If things continue as they are, in fifty years’ time my baby granddaughter will have to live in an unliveable world”.
We cannot allow this to happen!
It is essential that each of us be committed to this urgent change of direction, sustained by our own faith and spirituality. In the Joint Appeal, we spoke of the need to work responsibly towards a “culture of care” for our common home, but also for ourselves, and the need to work tirelessly to eliminate “the seeds of conflicts: greed, indifference, ignorance, fear, injustice, insecurity and violence”.
Humanity has never before had at its disposal so many means for achieving this goal. The political decision makers who will meet at COP26 in Glasgow are urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations. And it is worth repeating that each of us – whoever and wherever we may be – can play our own part in changing our collective response to the unprecedented threat of climate change and the degradation of our common home.
