You must love your neighbour as yourself
Picture of a child wrapped in swaddling bands completely secure and safe like the baby Jesus but this child was rather a representation of us in this group. our Heavenly Mother fed us and nurtured us and kept us under her mantle.
Then the bands were taken off and the child could move freely flailing its arms and legs in the sheer joy of movement. As the child grew ands matured greater responsibility was laid on the child until eventually the child resembled somewhat her Son Jesus.
We are that child and are called to mirror and act like Jesus. No more petty jealousies or resentments. All of us must act and pray and love as Jesus did and does to this day. We start by opening our hearts to love and feel that love for each other. We may not feel that love straight away because we may have to forgive each other. Then we can show others as Jesus did how we love and act in accordance with the Fathers Most Holy Will, for this is the goal to do and act in the Fathers Most Holy Will as Jesus did.
Mary says: "Do as he says" (see John 2 v 5 - His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.')
Romans 12 v 9 - 18
9 Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good.
10 In brotherly love let your feelings of deep affection for one another come to expression and regard others as more important than yourself.
11 In the service of the Lord, work not half heartedly but with conscientiousness and an eager spirit.
12 Be joyful in hope, persevere in hardship; keep praying regularly;
13 share with any of God's holy people who are in need; look for opportunities to be hospitable.
14 Bless your persecutors; never curse them, bless them.
15 Rejoice with others when they rejoice, and be sad with those in sorrow.
16 Give the same consideration to all others alike. Pay no regard to social standing, but meet humble people on their own terms. Do not congratulate yourself on your own wisdom.
17 Never pay back evil with evil, but bear in mind the ideals that all regard with respect.
18 As much as possible, and to the utmost of your ability, be at peace with everyone.
Romans 13 v 8 -14
8 The only thing you should owe to anyone is love for one another, for to love the other person is to fulfil the law.
9 All these: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, and all the other commandments that there are, are summed up in this single phrase: You must love your neighbour as yourself.
10 Love can cause no harm to your neighbour, and so love is the fulfilment of the Law.
11 Besides, you know the time has come; the moment is here for you to stop sleeping and wake up, because by now our salvation is nearer than when we first began to believe.
12 The night is nearly over, daylight is on the way; so let us throw off everything that belongs to the darkness and equip ourselves for the light.
13 Let us live decently, as in the light of day; with no orgies or drunkenness, no promiscuity or licentiousness, and no wrangling or jealousy.
14 Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop worrying about how your disordered natural inclinations may be fulfilled.

The Call of Love - Deep calls to deep
PICTURE OF JESUS, HE IS WEEPING TEARS, HIS HEART IS EXPOSED AND GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD ARE WEEPING FROM HIS HEART.
My people your love consoles me when I weep. I see the love you have in your hearts and all the good they contain, and this consoles my broken heart. My heart bleeds grievously for the evil and cold indifference in other hearts. I long for these hearts to contain my love, I long and thirst for them to return to me. Every time you are obedient to too my call of love upon you, you console my weeping heart, I see all your good actions, how you try to follow my path, it makes my heart soar with love and gratitude. My little flock listen always to my call of love. Love is not always the easiest path but it is the most fruitful. I you walk my path with the Holy Spirit, you know you are walking in the Father's will, the will of obedience. If you continue to walk this path of love, our adversary Satan, cannot lead you elsewhere. Your continual obedience to my call of love, is truly the consolation of my broken heart
My beloved little flock.

DEEP CALLS TO DEEP
oh the day draws in, my heart weeps
tears run down my cheek, deep calls to deep
deep calls to deep
the waves and billows wash over me
I’ve been baptised into the waters of life
now I’m diving into the sea
I’m fishing for the souls of men
in the sea of humanity
I’m casting my nets as I’m listening to
the man from Galilee
listen you who have ears to hear
look you who have eyes to see
you are my beloved
in whom I am well pleased
my good my faithful ones
in whom I put my trust
I know my own
my own know me
they hear my voice
and they listen
it is my father’s will that not one will be lost
angels will lift you lest you stumble on a stone
these words you hear me speak these words are not my own
they are the words of the Father who sent me
deep calls to deep
the waves and billows wash over me
I’ve been baptised into the waters of life
now I’m diving into the sea
I’m fishing for the souls of men
in the sea of humanity
I’m casting my nets as I’m listening to
the man from Galilee
oh the day draws in, my heart weeps
tears run down my cheek, deep calls to deep

A sense of a shining light around my head that seemed to lift the darkness and depression with me. It was if in our Praise either we had been raised to heaven or that heaven had come down to us.

My Eternal Light will shine on you always.

Jude v 17 - 24
A Call to Persevere
17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. Doxology 24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Love, Faith, Hope, Joy and Peace
Luke 17:6 (New International Version)
6 He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
A picture of Our Lady at the Annunciation where in faith she said "yes" to becoming the Mother of Jesus the Son of God. At His birth she looked on Him in love, wonder and awe.
We too can have this faith, the wonder, this awe or fear of the Lord. If like her we believe in his word we will grow in grace and promise as he did. If we thank him and praise him all things will be revealed and the light of faith in us will stir up men's hearts and draw them to the Heart of Jesus and his Blessed Mother.
The picture then moved to reveal a jewelled crown and the main jewels in the front were LOVE FAITH HOPE JOY. On the base of the crown was Theotokos, all these gifts are here for us in the group if we only open our minds and allow the Spirit to work in us. We cannot earn this crown because it is freely given. We need faith to grasp it and move with the Holy Spirit
Notes of meeting on 16 November
Again a picture of a crown with the four jewels of LOVE FAITH HOPE JOY and again on the base Theotokos. this time there was a cross piece on top saying PEACE.
Our Lady had her arms outstretched and was extending the crown over us inviting us to take it and put it on. When we put it on it will act much like a helmet of protection like that in Ephesians - the Helmet of Salvation.
This crown is a gift and no matter what befalls us as a group and individually we will be at peace. Our minds will be protected from the arrows and games of the evil one,Satan. This crown will be custom made for each one of us and will help us in our work for Our Blessed Mother and her Son Jesus. Our hearts and minds will be so at peace we will be able to do the Father's will and intercede for mankind. Our Mother was smiling and happy as each one took it and placed it upon our heads because we were willing to be instruments for Jesus. Mary and Jesus will never leave us in this mission, for this mission is to help win souls from the darkness into the Glorious Light and even though Satan will try to test us we will stand firm with Jesus at our side.
"Be at Peace"
Baruch 5 (Good News Translation)
Baruch 5
1 Jerusalem, take off the clothes you have worn in your mourning and distress, and put on the eternal splendor of God's glory.2 Put around you the cloak of God's righteousness. Place on your head the crown of the glory of the Eternal God.3 God will show your splendor to every nation on earth.4 Forever he will say to you:Your security comes from your righteousness, and your splendour from your devotion to me.
5 Get up, Jerusalem, stand on the mountaintop; see where God, the Holy One, is bringing your children together from the east and from the west. They are rejoicing that God has remembered them.6 Jerusalem, your children were led away by their enemies; they left you on foot, but God is bringing them back to you, carried in royal splendor.7 God has commanded that every high mountain and the everlasting hills shall be made low; he has commanded that the valleys shall be filled and the ground leveled, so that the people of Israel may come safely home in the glory of God.8 At the command of God, forests of fragrant trees will spring up to provide shade for the people of Israel.9 God will lead Israel home. They will return with great joy, guided by his mercy and righteousness, surrounded by the light of his glorious presence.
John 14 v 27
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Romans 13 v 8
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”10 Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
