Gospel John 9:1-41
The blind man went off and washed himself, and came away with his sight restored
Jesus heard they had driven him away, and when he found him he said to him, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man?’ ‘Sir,’ the man replied ‘tell me who he is so that I may believe in him.’ Jesus said, ‘You are looking at him; he is speaking to you.’ The man said, ‘Lord, I believe’, and worshipped him.
Lord heal us of our blindness that we may see You more clearly, believe in You and worship You. Amen
Notes from meeting on 14 March 2023
Picture
A picture of Jesus carrying His Cross, there are many people watching, some weeping some shouting insults, just as Jesus falls down a small boy goes up to Him and kicks Him, the small boy when he sees the hurt in the eyes of Jesus runs back to his mother, it is as though contact with Jesus has had a profound effect on the little child’s heart, he weeps and watches Jesus struggle up and their eyes lock together, Jesus can see the child is distressed and tries to smile, something deep in the child answers that smile and he blows a kiss to Jesus saying I’m so sorry!
"My Dear Children
When you sin it is like a kick against my Son’s suffering body, you see how the child immediately realised his wrong and wept and in his own little way asked for forgiveness, this child learned a great lesson, it is that when we act in haste or condemn someone, we often find that we have made a mistake, no one knows what is in the heart of someone fully, only God knows, and so I ask you in the name of my Son Jesus not to condemn but to pray, and if you see someone being condemned do not join in, peace and prayer in your hearts is sorely needed in these times, so I ask you once again to pray, make sacrifice, confess your sins, fast when possible and most importantly abstain from sin and instead embrace LOVE, for Love is the key which opens the door to my Son’s Most Sacred Heart and therein Peace is to be found, which in these times you all so dearly need.
I am your Mother and I place my mantle around you and always lead you to my Son.
Mary"

Daniel 7 v 9-14
9 “As I looked,
“thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing,
coming out from before him.
Thousands upon thousands attended him;
ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.
The court was seated,
and the books were opened.
11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. 12 (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)
13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
