Almighty, ever-living God, it is your will to unite the entire universe under your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the King of heaven and earth.
Grant freedom to the whole of creation, and let it praise and serve your majesty for ever.
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.
Amen.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessings on the coming kingdom of our father David!
Alleluia!
Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46
I was naked and you clothed me; sick, and you visited me
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. All the nations will be assembled before him and he will separate men one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left.
‘Then the King will say to those on his right hand, “Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me.” Then the virtuous will say to him in reply, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?” And the King will answer, “I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.”
‘Next he will say to those on his left hand, “Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink; I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, naked and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me.” Then it will be their turn to ask, “Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?” Then he will answer, “I tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me.”
‘And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the virtuous to eternal life.’
Notes from meeting on 21 November:
Picture of Our Lord on the Cross, He is in anguish and tears are pouring down His face!
At the foot of the Cross is Our Mother kissing His feet!
There are many people arriving at the Cross in terrible sorrow at the sight of the Saviour.
Angels appear and as each person arrives they spiritually take them to kiss the wounds of Our Lord Jesus, and just as a mother kissing her wounded child, this comforts Him and strengthens Him to carry out the Fathers wishes to save His children from their sins.
"My dear children,
Draw near to my Son, comfort Him with your heartfelt love, come stay with Him, by His Wounds all are healed! By His Wounds all are saved from their sins! There is no sin so terrible that He cannot forgive you, turn to Him and repent, my Child look at Him on this Cross, this Cross that bears such love of you! Bring with you those in your hearts that need to be saved, kiss Him who is love and Saviour of all mankind.
I am your Mother and I will always direct you to my Son, and do so powerfully in front of His Cross.
Mary"

Fundraiser.
Until the end of 2023 I am helping fundraise for the Alice House Hospice in Hartlepool, this facility cared for my wife Ann during her last month of illness before she passed away. The Hospice relies on donations to keep running so please be as generous as you are able.
So far I have raised £105 - and walked 140 miles.
