Alleluia, alleluia!
A picture of the Cross, superimposed upon it is a large white Host which is bleeding!
I Am The Living Bread, the Bread that feeds and sustains You, without Me you become weak and a prey to the adversary. Come to Me with al your Burdens, I Myself will feed you till you are satisfied, I Myself will bind up your hurts and listen to your worries, My child I speak directly to you, I love you and I will always love you, there is nothing that is so terrible that if you repent that can come between us! Be good child, always try to do your best to be a good example, know that I will pick you up and hold you to My beating Heart and heal you, and we shall be one, Me in you and you in Me. Imitate My Dearest Mother and your Blessed Mother, I love you, I love you, you are Mine.

Theotokos Prayer Group - Sunday 21 July 2024
Be a Shepherd to us O Lord
Alleluia, alleluia!
The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice,
says the Lord,
I know them and they follow me.
Alleluia!
Gospel: Mark 6:30-34
They were like sheep without a shepherd
The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught. Then he said to them, ‘You must come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while’; for there were so many coming and going that the apostles had no time even to eat. So they went off in a boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But people saw them going, and many could guess where; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.
Notes from meeting on 16 July 2024 :
Picture
Picture of many people with Our Blessed Mother gathered at the foot of her Son’s Cross.
We are all quietly praying the Rosary, when we have finished, Blessed Mother motions with her hand to come forward to receive from her Son a gift. As we go one at a time we can see many crosses leaning at the foot of her Son’s Cross, some metal, some wooden, some small, some large, some beautiful, some plain, some encrusted with jewels some covered in flowers some opaque some clear all have a uniqueness to them and all are suited to each recipient. Every person receives the cross that is exactly suited to their own needs and the prayer needs for their families and for the World, none are to heavy or onerous because all have been sifted and weighed in the balance and so by means of the Holy Spirit have been appointed to each.
"My dear little children,
Come take up your cross and follow my Son Jesus. These crosses in some will be felt keenly and in some hidden in the depths of your hearts, but all if carried with courage and love of my Son will make a huge difference to those in your families and those you may not even know in the World who seem so indifferent to my Son. These crosses are truly a gift and they will help you in this work by magnifying the good from them especially when born of the Spirit with humility.
Do not be afraid for my Son is with you and loves each of you. I your maternal Mother will always cover you with my Mantle of Grace. I say again do not be afraid, all will be well.
Mary"
Isaiah 56
1 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my deliverance be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 I will give in my house and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
which shall not be cut off.
6 “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
every one who keeps the sabbath, and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.
8 Thus says the Lord God,
who gathers the outcasts of Israel,
I will gather yet others to him
besides those already gathered.”
The Corruption of Israel’s Rulers
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour—
all you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind,
they are all without knowledge;
they are all dumb dogs,
they cannot bark;
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11 The dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
The shepherds also have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
each to his own gain, one and all.
12 “Come,” they say, “let us get wine,
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure.”

Alleluia!
Gospel Mark 6:7-13
'Take nothing with you'
Jesus made a tour round the villages, teaching. Then he summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs giving them authority over the unclean spirits. And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff – no bread, no haversack, no coppers for their purses. They were to wear sandals but, he added, ‘Do not take a spare tunic.’ And he said to them, ‘If you enter a house anywhere, stay there until you leave the district. And if any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, as you walk away shake off the dust from under your feet as a sign to them.’ So they set off to preach repentance; and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.
Notes from meeting on 9 July 2024:
Picture
Picture of a mountain with just a small shade of light behind it. All is in darkness between the mountain in the plains below is a vast army of menacing beings. Our Blessed Mother is leading her children to the mountain, it seems impossible to get there because of this army in the way, Blessed Mother comes right up face to face with this army and as she takes the first step before them it is as though they have no awareness that she and her children are there, the army parts into two and Blessed Mother with her children pass through unhindered and unharmed. They reach the base of the mountain and climb up to the top,
The light is brighter now and she leads her children to the foot of her Son’s Cross, all are safe and with her start to pray.
"My dear children,
I lead you safely to the foot of my Son’s Cross for a purpose, the need is so great now for prayer and sacrifice in mitigation for the atrocities against the Body of my Son and His love.
My children try to emulate He Who is All Love and pray for Mankind especially your enemies that they might be brought to know the truth of my Son’s love for them.
Just as Peter was released in front of his gaolers and set free to carry on preaching the love of Jesus, so will I protect you from my adversary so that you may redouble your efforts. My little ones you are weak but grace will prevail and so you become strong.
My Motherly Mantle is upon you shielding you.
Now, is the time to pray earnestly!
Mary"
O Go, our refuge in trials, our strength in sickness, our comfort in sorrow, spare your people, we pray, that, though rightly chastised now by affliction, they may find relief at last through your loving Mercy.
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
Beneath your mantle we take refuge O Mother of God
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.
This we pray, Amen.
Romans 5 v 20
20 But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,
Matthew 4 v 1-11
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Alleluia, alleluia!
The Word was made flesh and lived among us:
to all who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God.
Alleluia!
Gospel: Mark 6:1-6
'A prophet is only despised in his own country'
Jesus went to his home town and his disciples accompanied him. With the coming of the sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue and most of them were astonished when they heard him. They said, ‘Where did the man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been granted him, and these miracles that are worked through him? This is the carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joset and Jude and Simon? His sisters, too, are they not here with us?’ And they would not accept him. And Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is only despised in his own country, among his own relations and in his own house’; and he could work no miracle there, though he cured a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Lord increase our faith in You!
Notes from meeting on 2 July 2024
Picture
Picture of Our Blessed Mother gathering her children to her, then making a journey in the dark of night through the desert.
She has placed her Mantle over her children to cover them so they can’t be seen, together they travel and she is the guiding light.
Darkness recedes and they arrive at an Oasis which is cool, verdant and with many shady trees.
Jesus comes to greet His Mother and His People, bringing fresh bread and wine to feed them.
He blesses the Bread and Wine and all are satisfied and strengthened with the food and so the journey continues.
"My dear children,
When you turn to me your Mother, I will always protect and guide you on your life’s journey to my Son, Jesus. When darkness abounds come under my Mantle of Peace, and you will find protection and respite, do no be afraid. Just as St Joseph and I protected baby Jesus when we escaped from Herod, so shall my Mantle protect you all that is not of God, together we will journey to my Son, Jesus for He is the only Way the only Truth and the only Life that will satisfy.
Do not be afraid, your Mother stands with you!
Mary"
Zephaniah 3 v 14 - 20
14 Sing, Daughter Zion;
shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,
he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;
never again will you fear any harm.
16 On that day
they will say to Jerusalem,
“Do not fear, Zion;
do not let your hands hang limp.
17 The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
18 “I will remove from you
all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,
which is a burden and reproach for you.
19 At that time I will deal
with all who oppressed you.
I will rescue the lame;
I will gather the exiles.
I will give them praise and honour
in every land where they have suffered shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
at that time I will bring you home.
I will give you honour and praise
among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes
before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.
Beneath your mantle we take refuge O Mother of God
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.
This we pray, Amen.
