The Baptism of the Lord

 Gospel

Luke 3:15-16,21-22 
'Someone is coming who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire'
A feeling of expectancy had grown among the people, who were beginning to think that John might be the Christ, so John declared before them all, ‘I baptise you with water, but someone is coming, someone who is more powerful than I am, and I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandals; he will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Now when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily shape, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’

Picture
Our Blessed Mother has just left the tomb of Her Son Jesus, Our Mother makes her way to His Cross, wound around the Cross is the cloth that helped bring Her Son’s dead Body down, it is covered in His Precious Blood and is blowing in a gentle breeze. Blessed Mother Kneels down and waits, she is awaiting in Her Vigil the Third Day and as it Dawns The Light is Blinding and She Sees Jesus In Her Heart Arising and going to God!

“My Dear Little Ones
Fear Nothing, I Have Trod The path of Sorrow Before You!
If You Fear Death Repent God Is All Merciful, He Loves You as I Love My Son Jesus, You Are Precious In His Eyes.
If You Fear Parting from Loved Ones, In A Twinkle of an Eye They Will Be With You for Time Has No Meaning In Heaven!
If You Fear Pergatory Think of it as a Place where You Are Getting Ready to Look and Be Perfected for Your Bridegroom My Son Jesus, It is true it is a Place where you Do Penance but also the Knowledge that You Are Going To Heaven to Be With Him. While on Earth aim to be saints and do Your Best for God, asking the Holy Spirit at all Times to aid You!
You Have Been Baptised into The Body Of Christ and are Beloved Nothing can separate or take you away, for You are part of the Suffering Body of Christ My Son and as Such You Will be looked after and cared for!
This earthly Life will Depart and We Will Be With Him who Wipes away All Tears!
Rejoice and Be Glad, Fear has no Place in Your Lives if You Truly Believe!
Mary"
