Happy Easter to you all. He is Risen. Alleluia!
Gospel John 20:1-9
He must rise from the dead
It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’
So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
O God, who on this day, through your Only Begotten Son, have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord's Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Notes from meeting on 4 April 2023
Picture of many priests in a circle praying, looking at them and waiting for the right time to attack were a pack of wolves, one wolf seemed to be the master of the others.
Our Lady was in the centre of a circle of praying people they were with her saying the Rosary, they were deep in prayer connected to the Holy Spirit.
The wolf growled and suddenly writhing snakes came past the wolves toward the priests, then as the people prayed louder, a circle of armoured Angels enclosed around the priests and the Angels turned their shields outwards and the light of the Spirit together with the prayers from the people seemed to hit the shields and so blind the snakes and the wolves, the light actually made them spring back and the snakes disappeared and the wolves slunk away.
"My children,
With humble hearts pray to the Holy Spirit for my priest sons, my adversary is prowling around them trying to confuse them and to attack them!
My little ones your prayers and praise will raise a mighty army of Light which the Holy Spirit will use to protect my sons and to keep them in the Peace of my Son Jesus.
Pray with me, Llift up your hearts to the Father and together we will call down on my Son’s Holy Church all holiness from the Holy Trinity.
My Mothers Heart entreats you to come pray and my Immaculate Heart will sustain you in all things for the good of my Son’s Church and it’s sons, in turn you and your families will be blessed too. I am the Mother of the Church and I call you my little ones to pray pray pray!
Mary"
