Love one another as I have loved you

Notes of meeting on 14 February 2017

Picture of the world in darkness. Many people are praying because things seemed so bad.
Our Mother was praying in Heaven with the whole heavenly court.
Then a great wave of what looked like thick oil descended and rolled across the world, it cleansed , healed and made may hearts ready to receive Jesus.
Our Blessed Mother held her hand over the world and her Son caused stillness come over the world.
Jesus spoke to each heart individually drawing them to Him. In this stillness people seemed to know instinctively that if they hadn't already made the choice to follow Him this was the time to do so.
His heart burned with love for us but He felt a terrible sorrow for those who ignored His call.
Our Blessed Mother says:
"My children I your Mother don't ask you, I beg you to increase your prayers and sacrifice for poor souls.
Your prayers aid and help me to bring souls to Jesus.
I love you and appreciate your endeavours on my Son's behalf. I encourage you for even within your families miracles will happen with much heartfelt prayer. these things will happen.
I pray with you and my Heart magnifies the Lord who is your Saviour.
Mary."


We are objects of His love.


John 15 v 9 - 14
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.


Picture of an army on pure white horses each warrior carrying a banner of the Lamb of God.
Jesus was in front of His army saying "We are ready, just await my word."

Above all preserve an intense love for each other

Notes of meeting on 24 January 2017

Jesus receives our praise and listens to the cry of our hearts. He from His Heart feeds back to us the power of His love and mercy and the power of His Spirit. So filled with His Love in our body, mind and spirit we can allow His Love to flow through us to those around us.


1 Peter 4 v 1-2 and 7 -14
1 As Christ has undergone bodily suffering, you too should arm yourselves with the same conviction, that anyone who has undergone bodily suffering has broken with sin,
2 because for the rest of life on earth that person is ruled not by human passions but only by the will of God.
7 The end of all things is near, so keep your minds calm and sober for prayer.
8 Above all preserve an intense love for each other, since love covers over many a sin.
9 Welcome each other into your houses without grumbling.
10 Each one of you has received a special grace, so, like good stewards responsible for all these varied graces of God, put it at the service of others.
11 If anyone is a speaker, let it be as the words of God, if anyone serves, let it be as in strength granted by God; so that in everything God may receive the glory, through Jesus Christ, since to him alone belong all glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.
12 My dear friends, do not be taken aback at the testing by fire which is taking place among you, as though something strange were happening to you;
13 but in so far as you share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, so that you may enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted for bearing Christ's name, blessed are you, for on you rests the Spirit of God, the Spirit of glory.

Wisdom 6 v 12 - 21
12 Wisdom is brilliant, she never fades. By those who love her, she is readily seen, by those who seek her, she is readily found.
13 She anticipates those who desire her by making herself known first.
14 Whoever gets up early to seek her will have no trouble but will find her sitting at the door.
15 Meditating on her is understanding in its perfect form, and anyone keeping awake for her will soon be free from care.
16 For she herself searches everywhere for those who are worthy of her, benevolently appearing to them on their ways, anticipating their every thought.
17 For Wisdom begins with the sincere desire for instruction, care for instruction means loving her,
18 loving her means keeping her laws, attention to her laws guarantees incorruptibility,
19 and incorruptibility brings us near to God;
20 the desire for Wisdom thus leads to sovereignty.
21 If then thrones and sceptres delight you, monarchs of the nations, honour Wisdom, so that you may reign for ever.

You must love your neighbour as yourself

Notes of meeting on 23 June 2015

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.

Love one another as I have loved you

Notes of meeting on 13 May 2015

Picture of Jesus upon the Cross saying: "It is complete".
His poor Mother stood praying that the Father's will be done.
A great wind containing a force of darkness cam along that brought a terrible stench. This vortex of pain, darkness and sin seemed to be upon, within and around our beloved Jesus. It was as though he was absorbing all the hatred, pride, lies and sin in that last breath upon His Cross.
Our blessed Mother reeled with the heaviness, pain and smell of our sins but she still abided in the Father's will praying for us her beloved children. She was left in terrible sorrow, her Son had just died but she knew that this was the Father's will as she was told by Simeon long ago. She wept for her Son she wept for us her children as well.
This act of love by her beloved Son was the means of salvation for all and so began the mission to bring her children to the safety of Heaven. She asks us to cooperate in this mission to save souls:
"My children the time of Pentecost is approaching lay aside all differences , all unforgiveness make peace and then you will be so much more effective in your prayers to save your family , lost souls and yourselves. I will never leave you. My Son's blessing be upon you. Be missionaries like your Mother."

Stand in my Grace. I will not let you fall.

Romans 15 v 1 - 13
1.We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2.Each of us should please our neighbours for their good, to build them up.  3.For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”  4.For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5.May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,  6.so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7.Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8.For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed  9.and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing the praises of your name.”
10.Again, it says,
“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11.And again,
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.”
12.And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13.May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 29 v 10 -14
 10 For Yahweh says this: When the seventy years granted to Babylon are over, I shall intervene on your behalf and fulfil my favourable promise to you by bringing you back to this place.
11 Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12 When you call to me and come and pray to me, I shall listen to you.
13 When you search for me, you will find me; when you search wholeheartedly for me,
14 I shall let you find me (Yahweh declares. I shall restore your fortunes and gather you in from all the nations and wherever I have driven you, Yahweh declares. I shall bring you back to the place from which I exiled you).

John 15 v 9-17
9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
11 I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
12 This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you.
13 No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 I shall no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know the master's business; I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father.
16 You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit that will last; so that the Father will give you anything you ask him in my name.
17 My command to you is to love one another.
