Sacred Heart of Jesus

Notes of meeting on 28 August 2018


Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire with love for His people. In the centre of His Heart were many families and many priests. In His Heart all felt protected from the onslaught of Satan's arrows.
Mary says to us "My dear children let your prayer and praises be to my Son Jesus a cooling balm to soothe His pain at this time of indifference, ingratitude and evil that is directed to His Most Holy Sacred Heart.
My Son asks that you enthrone Him within your hearts and He will give you, your families and friends refuge.
Jesus asks you to pray especially for your priests that they too will find a calm haven and refuge in His Most Holy Heart.
In turning to my Son Jesus you will avail yourselves of the grace of the Holy Spirit and all of His Holy promises, you will succeed and need not fret about the arrows of the adversary for nothing can separate you from the Love of Jesus when you call on Him in any situation.
I too plead with you to pray for all your faithful; priests that they will find strength and refuge.
My children stand firm for when Satan thinks he has the upper hand my immaculate Heat intervenes and will lead you to the Reign of the Sacred Heart of my Son.
Mary"

My Heart is Love and My Father's Will is perfect


Notes of meeting on 1 November 2016

Picture of a small seed ordinary and dead looking. When placed in the soil it was watered , nurtured, fed and the sun shone upon it. It became a tree with fragrant leaves and luxuriant edible fruits.
It was Jesus who planted the seed in the soil of our hearts. It was He who nurtured , fed and watered it and caused the sun the shine upon it.
The seed burst forth into life.
Our hearts had opened to Him through the action of the Holy Spirit and by partaking of the Holy Eucharist. The seed grew larger putting down roots to keep the tree firm and stable drawing in life and making much growth.
This life and growth could be seen by others drawing others to the Light of Christ for it His very light that can be seen in us that attracts and draws others. We co-operate with the Spirit and He does the work.
Jesus says;
" Mary, My Mother Heart, her Immaculate Heart is full of humility and yet is full of strength. This comes from her uniting her Heart to My Sacred Heart and immersing herself and her will into My Father's Will.
So too if you submit your hearts and wills to My Sacred Heart and the Holy Will of My Father your strength, humility, love and concern for your brothers and sisters will grow. For My Heart is Love and My Father's Will is perfect.
The Holy Spirit will anoint each person and your fruitfulness will multiply and then My children the harvest of souls will be exceptional. Many will come to Me through this group. Heaven will urge you on. Ah little group how I love your littleness. You are like a favourite beloved child that I keep close the My Sacred Heart.
Pray for the lost little ones that so badly need My Holy Spirit and then they to will be enclosed in My Sacred Heart.
I bless you, Jesus."

1 Corinthians 13 v 1 - 13
1 Though I command languages both human and angelic -- if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing.
2 And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains -- if I am without love, I am nothing.
3 Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned -- if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
4 Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited,
5 it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances.
6 Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth.
7 It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
8 Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with.
9 For we know only imperfectly, and we prophesy imperfectly;
10 but once perfection comes, all imperfect things will be done away with.
11 When I was a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as a child does, and think like a child; but now that I have become an adult, I have finished with all childish ways.
12 Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.
13 As it is, these remain: faith, hope and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is love.

Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us

Notes of meeting on 5 August 2014


Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
He wants to draw our cold hearts into the warmth of His loving Heart.
He wants to draw all people close to His Heart
Blood and water flow from Him over all.

2 Timothy 2 v 11 - 26
11 Here is a saying that you can rely on: If we have died with him, then we shall live with him.
12 If we persevere, then we shall reign with him. If we disown him, then he will disown us.
13 If we are faithless, he is faithful still, for he cannot disown his own self.
14 Remind them of this; and tell them in the name of God that there must be no wrangling about words: all that this ever achieves is the destruction of those who are listening.
15 Make every effort to present yourself before God as a proven worker who has no need to be ashamed, but who keeps the message of truth on a straight path.
16 Have nothing to do with godless philosophical discussions -- they only lead further and further away from true religion.
17 Talk of this kind spreads corruption like gangrene, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 the men who have gone astray from the truth, claiming that the resurrection has already taken place. They are upsetting some people's faith.
19 However, God's solid foundation-stone stands firm, and this is the seal on it: 'The Lord knows those who are his own' and 'All who call on the name of the Lord must avoid evil.'
20 Not all the dishes in a large house are made of gold and silver; some are made of wood or earthenware: the former are held in honour, the latter held cheap.
21 If someone holds himself aloof from these faults I speak of, he will be a vessel held in honour, dedicated and fit for the Master, ready for any good work.
22 Turn away from the passions of youth, concentrate on uprightness, faith, love and peace, in union with all those who call on the Lord with a pure heart.
23 Avoid these foolish and undisciplined speculations, understanding that they only give rise to quarrels;
24 and a servant of the Lord must not engage in quarrels, but must be kind to everyone, a good teacher, and patient.
25 He must be gentle when he corrects people who oppose him, in the hope that God may give them a change of mind so that they recognise the truth
26 and come to their senses, escaping the trap of the devil who made them his captives and subjected them to his will.

Mary lead us to Jesus' Sacred Heart

Notes of meeting on 18 September 2012

Picture of Our Lady beckoning us to her Immaculate Heart. As we gazed upon her Heart she filled us and surrounded us with her grace.
She said "I will always lead you to my Son's Sacred Heart because it is the will of the Father in Heaven".
Our Lady moved to one side and there was Jesus, his Heart exposed calling us to come closer. As we neared Him we could see right into his Heart and feel the love and mercy for each of us. As we looked further in we could see a jagged cross enmeshed cruelly in the depths of his Heart. This cross was the terrible pain of being parted from the mankind who ignored and repulsed his great love.

It was felt that Our Lady was asking us again to redouble our efforts of prayer, fasting and good works to bring comfort to her Son by plucking men from the abyss of sin and to the Mercy of God through her Son Jesus

Hebrews 2 v 9-10
9 but we do see Jesus, who was for a short while made less than the angels, now crowned with glory and honour because he submitted to death; so that by God's grace his experience of death should benefit all humanity.

10 It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should, in bringing many sons to glory, make perfect through suffering the leader of their salvation.


Galatians 3 v 1 -14
1 You stupid people in Galatia! After you have had a clear picture of Jesus Christ crucified, right in front of your eyes, who has put a spell on you?
2 There is only one thing I should like you to tell me: How was it that you received the Spirit -- was it by the practice of the Law, or by believing in the message you heard?
3 Having begun in the Spirit, can you be so stupid as to end in the flesh?
4 Can all the favours you have received have had no effect at all -- if there really has been no effect?
5 Would you say, then, that he who so lavishly sends the Spirit to you, and causes the miracles among you, is doing this through your practice of the Law or because you believed the message you heard?
6 Abraham, you remember, put his faith in God, and this was reckoned to him as uprightness.
7 Be sure, then, that it is people of faith who are the children of Abraham.
8 And it was because scripture foresaw that God would give saving justice to the gentiles through faith, that it announced the future gospel to Abraham in the words: All nations will be blessed in you.
9 So it is people of faith who receive the same blessing as Abraham, the man of faith.
10 On the other hand, all those who depend on the works of the Law are under a curse, since scripture says: Accursed be he who does not make what is written in the book of the Law effective, by putting it into practice.
11 Now it is obvious that nobody is reckoned as upright in God's sight by the Law, since the upright will live through faith;
12 and the Law is based not on faith but on the principle, whoever complies with it will find life in it.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by being cursed for our sake since scripture says: Anyone hanged is accursed,
14 so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the gentiles in Christ Jesus, and so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.




Daily Reflection from Bible Alive, Tuesday 18 September

Luke 7:11-17

What an explosion of joy there must have been when Jesus raised the young man of Nain from death and gave him back to his mother! How amazed this widow must have been when she realized that her dead son was alive again and talking to her! Luke tells us that the crowd was awestruck and filled the air with God’s praises.
This powerful miracle fills our hearts with joy also, for it proclaims the wonderful truth that Jesus is the Lord of life, with the power to overcome death. It reveals him as the tender-hearted and compassionate Son of God. The crowd are absolutely correct in their exclamation: ‘God has visited his people!’ (v. 16).
With Jesus’ coming, the kingdom of God breaks into our world. The power of Satan’s kingdom, that has held men and women bound in sin since the Fall, is broken. The marks of Satan’s kingdom are well known to us: sin, strife, suffering and, most of all, death. Jesus came with the purpose of undoing all the works of the devil and setting free all who had fallen under his power. The raising of this dead man highlights the fact that God is acting among his people in a radically new and powerful way.
This sounds tremendous good news, but how can we relate it to our daily lives? There is a sense in which each of us is like the young man being carried out to burial. We are, to some degree, dead. Sin has ravaged us and taken its toll. Perhaps we have stopped praying or no longer open the Scriptures. Perhaps we cannot share what God has done for us, and we are silent about Jesus. Maybe we have lost the ability to show love and compassion. In each of these situations, Jesus can come and touch us in our deadness. When we turn to him with faith and humbly repent of our sin, he can raise us up with his resurrection life.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Heb. 13:8). His power is as real today as it was on that day in Nain. His care and love are as strong towards us as to the widow and her son.

Father, we thank you that your Son has the power to set us free from death and fill us with the new life of the Spirit. Come, Lord Jesus, and take possession of our lives today.

It is I, I am with you

Notes of Meeting on 17 April 2012

A picture of Jesus exposing His Heart and within His Heart is the Host and within the Host is a cup tipping over pouring out His Precious Blood.
The Blood cascaded down on to a woman at His feet. The Blood washed her clean.
Our Lady accompanied by Angels re-clothed this woman in a white garment.
The woman had been a great sinner but she repented with her whole heart and instantly Jesus covered her with His Blood granting her complete forgiveness. It was as though Jesus' Blood cried out to the Father and the sacrifice of His Holy Blood negated punishment. The white garment seemed to represent the wholeness received in baptism.

The picture gives us hope for ourselves and our loved ones.



Mark 14 v 3 -8
3 He was at Bethany in the house of Simon, a man who had suffered from a virulent skin-disease; he was at table when a woman came in with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the ointment on his head.

4 Some who were there said to one another indignantly, 'Why this waste of ointment?
5 Ointment like this could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor'; and they were angry with her.
6 But Jesus said, 'Leave her alone. Why are you upsetting her? What she has done for me is a good work.
7 You have the poor with you always, and you can be kind to them whenever you wish, but you will not always have me.
8 She has done what she could: she has anointed my body beforehand for its burial.


It is I, I am with you.


Rejoice in the Lord.

Sacred Heart of Jesus

Notes from our meeting on 23 June 2009

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, streams of blood and water are flowing from his Heart into the "marketplace" on to all the daily activities people are involved in.
He says "Come to the fountain of My Love".
If we bring all things to his Heart all can be well.
