Once again I ask you to pray for lost souls

Notes of meeting on 13 November 2018

Picture of a child in the womb being loved, sang to , nurtured and nourished.
When the child was born the love, the songs, the nurture and the nourishing continued.
When the child grew and wandered off the Mother called him back, when he fell she soothed him.
The Mother taught the child well and formed him in prayer and through the Holy Spirit.
The child after many falls came to know her son Jesus.
The child became a man and looking forward prayed, fasted and offered himself to the Father.
Mary says: "My children do you recognise mankind, nurtured by my love and offered to the Father in Heaven that you might work well in the Kingdom.
My little ones you are not perfect but my Heart overflows with love when I see how you try to please my Son Jesus. If you continually pray to the Holy Spirit you will be perfected and your endeavours will be blessed.
In this present moment in this present place I ask that you pray for your less fortunate brothers and sisters who may not have had the loving formation that you have been blessed with.
I continually ask the Holy Spirit to make you souls who commit to prayer and perseverance.
My children all souls who pray especially together will draw men and women to my Son Jesus.
So once again I ask you to pray for lost souls and conversion of your brothers and sisters and especially for your Priests.
I place my praying hands upon each one of you and call the Holy Spirit to pour out His gifts upon you.
I bless you with my maternal blessing in the name of the Blessed One, Jesus, my Son."


1 John 2 v 7 - 17
Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word that you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new commandment that is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. Whoever says, “I am in the light,” while hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness. 10 Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates another believer is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know the way to go, because the darkness has brought on blindness.
12 I am writing to you, little children,
    because your sins are forgiven on account of his name.
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
    because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young people,
    because you have conquered the evil one.
14 I write to you, children,
    because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
    because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young people,
    because you are strong
    and the word of God abides in you,
        and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world; 16 for all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God live forever.

Can you pray?

Notes of meeting on 17 October 2017

Picture of Jesus carrying His most Holy Cross.
He seemed to be visiting every country and island in the World.
As He reached nearly all countries He staggered under the weight of sin; in some countries He fell to the ground crushed and overcome with nausea. With great difficulty He carried on until all had been visited. Then Jesus and His Cross rose upwards and the vile World and all its sin could be seen on His Cross until the World was enwrapped by His Cross.
Jesus says:
" My children, for you are my children, I ask you this:
Can you be Simon to Me, can you pray for your people, your country, for your world?
You are mine and I ask you to put behind you all childish things and earnestly pray.
Your Mother and My Mother followed Me in everything.
She who is Queen of Peace never answered back but prayed constantly. By means of prayer and sacrifice through Her Immaculate Heart all things are perfected and all things will be put right.
If you pray for poor souls in your families, in your country, in your world even though you yourselves are not perfect you will see miracles within your families and countries and your world.
Be Simon to Me, be Mother to Me, help Me to help you.
Your Jesus who weeps for such love of you and of all Creation.
Jesus."

Joel 2 v 28 - 32
‘And afterwards,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your old men will dream dreams,
    your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
    and on the earth,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors
    whom the Lord calls


Everyone who turns back to Me shall be saved.

Isaiah 11 v 10-12
10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting-place will be glorious. 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.
12 He will raise a banner for the nations
    and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
    from the four quarters of the earth.

May our prayer rise like incense before You that Your purposes might be fulfilled.

Pray for the lost

Notes of meeting on 1 August 2017

Picture of a lake on which raged a tempest and floating on the lake was a man in great difficulty.
Eventually when nearly dead he could see he was being pushed towards an abyss of foaming fire. In his last moments he cried out "My Mother help me, Jesus save me"
Our Lady heard his cry and sent out upon the lake a raft to save him. This raft was made of prayers and sacrifices and all good works of those who loved this man also of those who didn't even know him.
Our Lady herself steered the raft until she got to him. He was in a terrible state of fear but he heaved himself on the raft and collapsed. He woke to find himself bandaged and all his wounds salved and bound. When he looked he was coming into land, a land of great beauty with a great temple atop of a mountain. When he looked at the raft it was Our Lord Jesus upon His Cross, the man had clung to Him until Jesus brought him safe home.

Jesus says:
"Together with My Mother you, your prayers, sacrifices and taking My Eucharist worthily will save souls and save Me from the terrible pain of separation from lost souls.
I your Jesus plead with you that together with My Mother the Most Glorious Virgin Queen of Heaven you will cast your worries aside and pray for the lost.
I Myself will take care of your worries, hand them to Me and as you do as I ask your reward will be great and My Poor Heart will be soothed by your loving actions.
My dear little souls pray for poor souls that My Heart would stop breaking. I weep. I weep.
Jesus."


Sirach 2
1 My child, if you aspire to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for an ordeal.
2 Be sincere of heart, be steadfast, and do not be alarmed when disaster comes.
3 Cling to him and do not leave him, so that you may be honoured at the end of your days.
4 Whatever happens to you, accept it, and in the uncertainties of your humble state, be patient,
5 since gold is tested in the fire, and the chosen in the furnace of humiliation.
6 Trust him and he will uphold you, follow a straight path and hope in him.
7 You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; do not turn aside, for fear you fall.
8 You who fear the Lord, trust him, and you will not be robbed of your reward.
9 You who fear the Lord, hope for those good gifts of his, everlasting joy and mercy.
10 Look at the generations of old and see: whoever trusted in the Lord and was put to shame? Or whoever, steadfastly fearing him, was forsaken? Or whoever called to him and was ignored?
11 For the Lord is compassionate and merciful, he forgives sins and saves in the time of distress.
12 Woe to faint hearts and listless hands, and to the sinner who treads two paths.

Romans 12 v 1-2
1 I urge you, then, brothers, remembering the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, dedicated and acceptable to God; that is the kind of worship for you, as sensible people.
2 Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God -- what is good and acceptable and mature.

Pray for those who don't know my Son


Notes of meeting on 18 July 2017

Picture of a Mountain leading up to the top could be seen a great stream of blue cloth. It was Our Blessed Mother's Mantle flowing down.
Under Her Mantle were many people , mostly families and children. As thy made their way to the summit they came out of the Mantle into the Joyous Arms of Our Blessed Lord. Such Joy, such Bliss, such overwhelming Love. Jesus knew each person  by name inviting hem to sit at the Feast prepared for them.

Mary says;
" My children I your Mother will always lead you to my Son, stay under my mantle and no matter how arduous the journey, you will arrive to reside and live in complete Paradise with my Son Jesus.
My children I willingly give you the safety of my patronage but will you pray for those who don't know my Son, that they too may be protected and encouraged on their journey, and so come to know the Joy of Heaven and not as my adversary plans which is to distract them to perdition.
Pray, pray.
My Son's tears and His Blood flow like a river in these times. Prayer brings multitudes of graces upon those who so easily could be lost.
My Rosary is the perfect weapon.
Thank you my children.
Mary."




1 Peter 1 v 3 - 9

Praise to God for a living hope

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

1 Chronicles 

Throughout history God is working through families and the generations of believers.

Mark 7 v 24 - 30

Jesus honours a Syro-Phoenician woman’s faith

24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 ‘First let the children eat all they want,’ he told her, ‘for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.’
28 ‘Lord,’ she replied, ‘even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.’
29 Then he told her, ‘For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.’
30 She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.


1 Corinthians 1 v 18-31

Christ crucified is God’s power and wisdom

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
    the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God – that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.

Draw poor souls to Me

Notes of meeting on 1 September 2015

Picture of people gathered on a river bank, Jesus was beckoning them to get in the water. As every person got in the cool water refreshed and cleansed them. Then as everyone stepped out the sun seemed to shine more brightly and everyone was dry in just a few seconds. A gentle braze seemed to descend and a tongue of flame was upon each person. This flame seemed to dissipate leaving around the people a gold light in around and through each person which each person  could be seen in those around them.
The light drew people who had little or no light to them, like moths to a flame, they could see this light and felt drawn to come into the light. Jesus is the light and we his poor vessels have to try and magnify this light to draw all men to Him.
Jesus says:
Be holy My little ones, put all strife and personal slights with each other aside, forgive each other, love each other. My little ones imitate Our Mother for her humbleness, prayerfulness and service to the Kingdom are your example.
Draw poor souls to Me, I bless you.

1 Corinthians 1 v 4 - 17
4 I am continually thanking God about you, for the grace of God which you have been given in Christ Jesus;
5 in him you have been richly endowed in every kind of utterance and knowledge;
6 so firmly has witness to Christ taken root in you.
7 And so you are not lacking in any gift as you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed;
8 he will continue to give you strength till the very end, so that you will be irreproachable on the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 You can rely on God, who has called you to be partners with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
10 Brothers, I urge you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, not to have factions among yourselves but all to be in agreement in what you profess; so that you are perfectly united in your beliefs and judgements.
11 From what Chloe's people have been telling me about you, brothers, it is clear that there are serious differences among you.
12 What I mean is this: every one of you is declaring, 'I belong to Paul,' or 'I belong to Apollos,' or 'I belong to Cephas,' or 'I belong to Christ.'
13 Has Christ been split up? Was it Paul that was crucified for you, or was it in Paul's name that you were baptised?
14 I am thankful I did not baptise any of you, except Crispus and Gaius,
15 so that no one can say that you were baptised in my name.
16 Yes, I did baptise the family of Stephanas, too; but besides these I do not think I baptised anyone.
17 After all, Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel; and not by means of wisdom of language, wise words which would make the cross of Christ pointless.

Isaiah 43 v 9 -21
9 Let all the nations assemble, let the peoples gather here! Which of them has proclaimed this and revealed things to us in the past? Let them bring their witnesses to justify themselves, let others hear and say, 'It is true.'
10 You yourselves are my witnesses, declares Yahweh, and the servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that it is I. No god was formed before me, nor will be after me.
11 I, I am Yahweh, and there is no other Saviour but me.
12 I have revealed, have saved, and have proclaimed, not some foreigner among you. You are my witnesses, declares Yahweh, I am God,
13 yes, from eternity I am. No one can deliver from my hand; when I act, who can thwart me?
14 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, I shall knock down all the prison bars, and the Chaldaeans' shouts of joy will change to lamentations.
15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your king.
16 Thus says Yahweh, who made a way through the sea, a path in the raging waters,
17 who led out chariot and horse together with an army of picked troops: they lay down never to rise again, they were snuffed out, put out like a wick.
18 No need to remember past events, no need to think about what was done before.
19 Look, I am doing something new, now it emerges; can you not see it? Yes, I am making a road in the desert and rivers in wastelands.
20 The wild animals will honour me, the jackals and the ostriches, for bestowing water in the desert and rivers on the wastelands for my people, my chosen one, to drink.
21 The people I have shaped for myself will broadcast my praises.

Matthew 11 v 25 -
25 At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.
26 Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do.
27 Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 'Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.'


 


A Christian prayer in union with creation

Father, we praise you with all your creatures.

They came forth from your all-powerful hand;

they are yours, filled with your presence and your tender love.

Praise be to you!

Son of God, Jesus,

through you all things were made.

You were formed in the womb of Mary our Mother,

You became part of this earth,

and you gazed upon this world with human eyes.

Today you are alive in every creature

in your risen glory.

Praise be to you!

Holy Spirit, by your light

you guide this world towards the Father’s love

and accompany creation as it groans in travail.

You also dwell in our hearts

and you inspire us to do what is good.

Praise be to you!

Triune Lord,

wondrous community of infinite love,

teach us to contemplate you

in the beauty of the universe,

for all things speak of you.

Awaken our praise and thankfulness

for every being that you have made.

Give us the grace to feel profoundly joined

to everything that is.

God of love, show us our place in this world

as the channels of your love

for all creatures of this earth,

for not one of them is forgotten in your sight.

Enlighten those who possess power and money

that they may avoid the sin of indifference,

that they may love the common good,

advance the weak,

and care for this world in which we live.

The poor and the earth are crying out.

O Lord, seize us with you power and light,

help us to protect all life,

to prepare for a better future,

for the coming of your Kingdom

Of justice, peace, love and beauty.

Praise be to you!

Amen.
 
‘A Christian prayer for union with creation’ was published in Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’. It is intended for Christians to pray for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus.

Pray for lost souls

Notes of meeting on 11 August 2015

Picture of a great light descending on the Earth, it rolled over the Earth like lightening.
Within the light were many angels with swords drawn and all manner of heavenly beings. The light was so bright it could barely be looked at.
Jesus was at the head as this army rolled across the Earth , it seemed to enlighten all the darkness.
Many people were confused running to and fro, others were on their knees pleading for mercy and repenting.
The light was so Holy and Righteous that it could only vanquish those who did not repent, it was as though they were no more.
Those who repented were taken into the light  and the whole Earth was ablaze with light and a myriad of colours.
Jesus says:
"My people pray for lost souls, sinners and the would be damned, for through your prayers and My Mother's, graces will be poured out on those who would be lost. Graces to enable them to repent, for My Mercy is great but My Justice is terrible. pray with your Mother for graces to lead your lives in holiness to counter the terrible darkness . My beloved fear not for I am with you. I bless you."


James 3 v 13 - 18
13 Anyone who is wise or understanding among you should from a good life give evidence of deeds done in the gentleness of wisdom.
14 But if at heart you have the bitterness of jealousy, or selfish ambition, do not be boastful or hide the truth with lies;
15 this is not the wisdom that comes from above, but earthly, human and devilish.
16 Wherever there are jealousy and ambition, there are also disharmony and wickedness of every kind;
17 whereas the wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure; it is also peaceable, kindly and considerate; it is full of mercy and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partiality or hypocrisy in it.
18 The peace sown by peacemakers brings a harvest of justice.

2 Corinthians 5 v 14 - 21
14 For the love of Christ overwhelms us when we consider that if one man died for all, then all have died;
15 his purpose in dying for all humanity was that those who live should live not any more for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life.
16 From now onwards, then, we will not consider anyone by human standards: even if we were once familiar with Christ according to human standards, we do not know him in that way any longer.
17 So for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation: the old order is gone and a new being is there to see.
18 It is all God's work; he reconciled us to himself through Christ and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
19 I mean, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not holding anyone's faults against them, but entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20 So we are ambassadors for Christ; it is as though God were urging you through us, and in the name of Christ we appeal to you to be reconciled to God.
21 For our sake he made the sinless one a victim for sin, so that in him we might become the uprightness of God.
