The Cross dispels the darkness

Notes of meeting on 24 June 2014

Picture of Jesus full of light.
Many people are in darkness and the Cross with the Lamb on it is thrown into the darkness and the light from the Cross dispels the darkness and bathes the people in light.

Psalm 8

1Yahweh our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the world! Whoever keeps singing of your majesty higher than the heavens,
² even through the mouths of children, or of babes in arms, you make him a fortress, firm against your foes, to subdue the enemy and the rebel.
³ I look up at your heavens, shaped by your fingers, at the moon and the stars you set firm-
⁴ what are human beings that you spare a thought for them, or the child of Adam that you care for him?
⁵ Yet you have made him little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and beauty,
⁶ made him lord of the works of your hands, put all things under his feet,
⁷ sheep and cattle, all of them, and even the wild beasts,
⁸ birds in the sky, fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.
⁹ Yahweh our Lord, how majestic your name throughout the world!

2 Corinthians 4 v 7-15

⁷ But we hold this treasure in pots of earthenware, so that the immensity of the power is God's and not our own.
⁸ We are subjected to every kind of hardship, but never distressed; we see no way out but we never despair;
⁹ we are pursued but never cut off; knocked down, but still have some life in us;
¹⁰ always we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our body.
¹¹ Indeed, while we are still alive, we are continually being handed over to death, for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, too, may be visible in our mortal flesh.
¹² In us, then, death is at work; in you, life.
¹³ But as we have the same spirit of faith as is described in scripture -- I believed and therefore I spoke -we, too, believe and therefore we, too, speak,
¹⁴ realising that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up with Jesus in our turn, and bring us to himself -- and you as well.
¹⁵ You see, everything is for your benefit, so that as grace spreads, so, to the glory of God, thanksgiving may also overflow among more and more people.

Holy Michael Archangel Defend Us In The Day of Battle

Notes of meeting on 5 March 2012

A hill with a holy city shining we journey toward it - but there are many obstacles  - angels help us to overcome those obstacles on our journey to the holy city.

Picture of cross on the hill - light from the Cross - the power of the Cross

Revelation 12  Woman Clothed with the Son

1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
3 Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet.
4 Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born.
5 The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne,
6 while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.
7 And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels,
8 but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.
9 The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him.
10 Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down.
11 They have triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of death they did not cling to life.
12 So let the heavens rejoice and all who live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming -- because the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little time left.'
13 As soon as the dragon found himself hurled down to the earth, he sprang in pursuit of the woman, the mother of the male child,
14 but she was given a pair of the great eagle's wings to fly away from the serpent into the desert, to the place where she was to be looked after for a time, two times and half a time.
15 So the serpent vomited water from his mouth, like a river, after the woman, to sweep her away in the current,
16 but the earth came to her rescue; it opened its mouth and swallowed the river spewed from the dragon's mouth.
17 Then the dragon was enraged with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children, who obey God's commandments and have in themselves the witness of Jesus.



The Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel


The Chaplet of St. Michael is a wonderful way to honour this great Archangel along with the other nine Choirs of Angels. What do we mean by Choirs? It seems that God has created various orders of Angels. Sacred Scripture distinguishes nine such groupings: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels and Angels (Isa. 6:2; Gen. 3:24; Col. 1:16; Eph. 1:21; Rom. 8:38). There may be more groupings but these are the only ones that have been revealed to us. The Seraphim is believed to be the highest Choir, the most intimately united to God, while the Angelic Choir is the lowest.

The history of this Chaplet goes back to a devout Servant of God, Antonia d'Astonac, who had a vision of St. Michael. He told Antonia to honour him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. St. Michael promised that whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for those who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life.

The Chaplet of St. Michael

O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, etc.

[Say one Our Father and three Hail Marys after each of the following nine salutations in honor of the nine Choirs of Angels]

1. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Seraphim may the Lord make us worthy to burn with the fire of perfect charity. Amen.

2. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Cherubim may the Lord grant us the grace to leave the ways of sin and run in the paths of Christian perfection. Amen.

3. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Thrones may the Lord infuse into our hearts a true and sincere spirit of humility. Amen.

4. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Dominations may the Lord give us grace to govern our senses and overcome any unruly passions. Amen.

5. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Virtues may the Lord preserve us from evil and falling into temptation. Amen.

6. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Powers may the Lord protect our souls against the snares and temptations of the devil. Amen.

7. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Principalities may God fill our souls with a true spirit of obedience. Amen.

8. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Archangels may the Lord give us perseverance in faith and in all good works in order that we may attain the glory of Heaven. Amen.

9. By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Angels may the Lord grant us to be protected by them in this mortal life and conducted in the life to come to Heaven. Amen.

Say one Our Father in honor of each of the following leading Angels: St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael and our Guardian Angel.

Concluding prayers:

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael Prince of Your Church, make us worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into Your Presence.This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

The Cross and the Glory of Heaven

Notes of Praise and Intercession Meeting on 25 October 2011

Carry home My poor lost children on the crest of a wave.
Home to the Cross of Christ, to Jesus.

Picture of the Cross before us and the world behind us. Feeling that we must embrace the Cross.
Then the sky above was pulled aside like a curtain revealing all the people in Heaven dancing and singing with us during the loud praise. They were looking down on us and taking part in the prayer group. They were joyful in the loud praise and quiet and reverential I the quiet hymns. They all threw a shower of flowers down on us representing Joy, Peace, Love, Forgiveness and many gifts. The Lord said there was plenty for everyone and to fill our arms with them so we could share them with others. He said He will continue to reveal His Glory to us.

Picture of a large building, the House of the Lord, and although its brightness shone magnificently there was blackness trying to dissipate the light making the building appear hidden.
From the building an army of people with many sections appeared they pushed back the darkness and on the sidelines many people were praying and the darkness was pushed further back.
Then it was as though the darkness made one last push to obliterate the light but from within the army of people and heavenly beings one lone person went forth a small humble beautiful women clothed in light. Her foot went to take a step toward the darkness and the darkness immediately lost its power and went. This woman the Mother of Perfect Love who loved the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit made legions of her adversary disappear by raising her small foot.
The House of the Lord continued to shine drawing the lost to her Son Jesus and a mighty clamour of praise was heard from the earth resounding back to Heaven.
Glory, Honour, Blessing on Our Mighty God for He has saved us by giving us His Only Son, Jesus who is the Head of the Body, the Head of the Church which the Mother of Love will protect at all times.

EXPURGATION - of all evils in the World, personal and social etc.

INVITATION - I have heard your cry turn to Me. My burden is light.
CELEBRATION – thanks for the many whose lives are demonstrably dedicated to spreading God’s love in the World

Picture of people being painted with something like marmalade, sticky like glue. The Spirit sticks to people!

The Cross is the key and door to Heaven

Notes of Praise and Intercession Meeting on 19 July 2011

Picture of many nations all kneeling at the foot of the Cross. there were black, asian, chinese, white and arab nations, everyone on the Earth was represented. As we all looked at the Cross it became infused with different colours, it was as though the Cross became a keyhole or doorway into another World. Everyone could see into its very depths it was as though Heaven itself was turning before us.
There were valleys with corn ready for harvest, vineyards thick with glossy grapes, olive groves ready to be gathered, rivers flowing from beautiful waterfalls, great forests thick with foliage, many animals and seas with many fish swimming in their waters.
Then as this New Heaven turned there was revealed a huge white building with water flowing from under it and such a bright light emanating from within. It's columns and domes glistening and such beautiful singing and sounds from within.
Then the turning stopped and looking into a courtyard we could see Jesus talking and teaching. All those with Him seemed to be very happy and very relaxed. To the right was another courtyard Our Lady was there with many children and babies and some youths. The older ones looked after the younger ones. These children are our lost children, miscarried, stillborn, and the aborted babies. All of them were full of Joy completely healthy and looked as though despite our loss of them to be reaching their full potential. They seemed to have a special affinity with Our Lady and prayed happily for our conversion. they seemed to be always thanking God for their existence.
Slowly the picture subsides until we are again at the foot of the Cross. All the nations were amazed and started to sing and praise God. The throng of voices sounded similar to the beauty and musical sounds from within the white building. Then slowly a huge bubble of light rose out of the Cross and emptied itself upon all the nations and a flow of grace fell upon all.
Come to Me all you who labour and I will give you rest.

Revelation 14 v 13-15
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labour, for their deeds will follow them.”
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

*Sense of heaven coming down to us and/or us being taken up to Heaven and of the angels joining in with our praise.

*You are the new wine, the special reserve held back ripened and matured for a time of great need. That time of great need is now here. Go out and do my work.
