Gospel Matthew 11:2-11
'A greater than John the Baptist has never been seen'
John in his prison had heard what Christ was doing and he sent his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or have we got to wait for someone else?’ Jesus answered, ‘Go back and tell John what you hear and see; the blind see again, and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised to life and the Good News is proclaimed to the poor; and happy is the man who does not lose faith in me.’
As the messengers were leaving, Jesus began to talk to the people about John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the breeze? No? Then what did you go out to see? A man wearing fine clothes? Oh no, those who wear fine clothes are to be found in palaces. Then what did you go out for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet: he is the one of whom scripture says:
‘Look, I am going to send my messenger before you;
he will prepare your way before you.
‘I tell you solemnly, of all the children born of women, a greater than John the Baptist has never been seen; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.’
Lord, sustain our faith in you, the Redeemer and Saviour, worker of miracles.
Picture
Picture of many people walking towards mountain upon which was the Holy Temple of the Lord. Jesus was at the doorway with His arms wide open in welcome.
People were streaming towards the Great Light from within and around the Temple and the Light emanating from His Most Sacred Heart.
The people were struggling to get to the Light but Blessed Mother joined them, she seemed to know that a huge obstacle would appear. The people struggled on till they found the narrow pass was blocked by huge stones and falling debris, Our Blessed Mother drew her Children to Her Immaculate Heart for safety and many beings appeared who rolled the stones away making the pass clear. Blessed Mother then led Her children through the debris on to her Son Jesus where there was so much Joy and Peace and utter Thankfulness to be with her Son.
Not one soul that appealed to her Immaculate Heart was lost.
“My little one’s in any difficulty, ask for my succour and prayers, I will always lead you to my Son’s Heart.
my little ones if you ask for my prayers for others, I will always respond, for there is nothing I want more than to lead souls to the refuge of my Son Jesus’ Heart.
My little ones problems seem insurmountable but I assure you if you pray, the lapsed, the fallen even the most hardened, the atheist will receive graces and come to my Son.
My little ones there is nothing my Son desires than souls to be safe with Him, and so I ask you to pray, pray, pray till it becomes like breathing in and breathing out.
Mary"
