Theotokos Prayer Group 2021- Update No. 44

 Dear friends,



1 Corinthians 11 v 23-27

23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Picture
A priest lifting high at the consecration the Eucharist, when looking the priest was no longer the parish priest but Jesus! The people in the Mass were aligning their thoughts words and prayers to Jesus in the Eucharist.

England was in darkness but little flames like pockets of light appeared all over the land and grew to huge flames till England seemed to be on fire. The fire spread to Scotland Wales and all of Ireland, this fire was not a destructive fire it was a fire bringing wholesomeness and a burning love of Jesus. Little arrows of fire seemed to rise up and be airborne and fell down to other places in Europe and beyond.

“My little ones when you lift your hearts together with the raised Eucharist to God the Most High, you are cooperating with the Holy Spirit in the Sublime Sacrifice of my Son Jesus. Bring before my Son your countries, your families, those poor souls that do not know my Son. Lift up also my priest sons and religious and then as worthily as is possible receive Jesus with faith in Holy Communion all the while with thanksgiving in your heart, then the burning love of my Son’s Sacred Heart shall shower down the fire of His love over all petitions and when propitious you will see mighty miracles in your land, homes and the hearts of all, and then together with Heaven we will rejoice in the goodness of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I your Mother will always lead you to my Son because you are sons and daughters of my Maternal Heart!
Mary"
