Alleluia, alleluia!
I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
anyone who follows me will have the light of life.
Alleluia!
Gospel: Mark 9:30-37
Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me
Jesus and his disciples made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know, because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, ‘The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.’ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.
They came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, ‘What were you arguing about on the road?’ They said nothing because they had been arguing which of them was the greatest. So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said, ‘If anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.’ He then took a little child, set him in front of them, put his arms round him, and said to them, ‘Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.’
Lord grant us humility and the grace to serve You and our neighbour. Amen.
Notes from meeting on 17 September
Picture
A Picture of a high surrounding wall, it has a large gate, through the gate is a great light, and all people are drawn to this light.
Many people present themselves to the gate and some are allowed in straight away, inside can be seen the souls clear and bright of those allowed in, they are in ecstasy of love for Jesus and their appearance is all beautiful.
Those who cannot get through the gate turn away in great distress, calling out to God for Mercy, as they do so Jesus appears on the Cross, they go down on their knees and ask for forgiveness, their souls appear smudged and dirty but the Blood of Jesus pours forth upon them and their souls then appear as beautiful as those allowed to go in through the walled gate.
"My children, my little ones you know how much this Mother loves you, I have only this to say:
Turn to my Son in humility beg forgiveness for your sins and you will be saved. Pray for others that they too will see Jesus and turn to Him, no sin is too great to be forgiven if repented of. Honestly, LOVE cancels all, and my Son, Jesus is Love. Mary"
Ecclesiasticus / Sirach 7 v 1-17
1 Do no evil, and evil will not befall you;
2 shun wrong, and it will avoid you.
3 My child, do not sow in the furrows of wickedness, for fear you have to reap them seven times over.
4 Do not ask the Lord for the highest place, or the king for a seat of honour.
5 Do not parade your uprightness before the Lord, or your wisdom before the king.
6 Do not scheme to be appointed judge, for fear you should not be strong enough to stamp out injustice, for fear of being swayed by someone influential and so of risking the loss of your integrity.
7 Do not wrong the general body of citizens and so lower yourself in popular esteem.
8 Do not be drawn to sin twice over, for you will not go unpunished even once.
9 Do not say, 'God will be impressed by my numerous offerings; when I sacrifice to God Most High, he is bound to accept.'
10 Do not be hesitant in prayer; do not neglect to give alms.
11 Do not laugh at someone who is sad of heart, for he who brings low can lift up high.
12 Do not make up lies against your brother, nor against a friend either.
13 Mind you tell no lies, for no good can come of it.
14 Do not talk too much at the gathering of elders, and do not repeat yourself at your prayers.
15 Do not shirk tiring jobs or farm work, ordained by the Most High.
16 Do not swell the ranks of sinners, remember that the retribution will not delay.
17 Be very humble, since the recompense for the godless is fire and worms.
