Theotokos Prayer Group 2022 - Meeting 18 October 2022

 Notes of meeting on 18 October 2022


Luke 12 v 22-34

22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[a]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


A picture of a person stood in front of Jesus, Jesus opens a book and turns the page, he looks at the person and says I tell you solemnly, you are Mine, I know you by your name and you are Mine.

Jesus then shows the person the opened page and thousands of names lift off and float before the persons eyes, these are the names of all persons that have prayed earnestly for this person, some even from the beginning of time and right up to the meeting with Jesus. 

The prayers of the faithful caused Grace to come upon the person even in times of great sin, causing their soul to turn to Jesus for forgiveness and so enabling that person to avail themselves of Gods great Mercy which was purchased by the Sacrifice of His Son and actioned by the Holy Spirit.

Blessed Mother seemed to speak these words:

You see my children your prayer and sacrifice are often very crucial in another persons life. Never stop praying for those whom it seems almost impossible to return to my Son Jesus, this is far from the truth as He longs deep in His Heart for these ones,

His Mercy is never ending

His Love is never ending

His Peace is never ending

He continually searches for His beloved child that He knows by name.

Mary
