Notes from meeting of 24 March 2015
Picture of Jesus struggling with his cross.
The roman soldiers were berating some man trying to coerce him into helping. The man felt sorry for Jesus but didn't want to get tainted by him.
Finally when he started to help he was overcome with remorse at his outburst, and seeing the state of Jesus, he was now very willing to help.
As shouldered the cross with Jesus he realised he would have to slow his steps down because Jesus was in such a sorry state he couldn't walk properly and his breathing was laboured as well as the cross being heavy.
As he slowed his steps and his pace he realised that somehow he was now in union with this poor young man and by the time Simon came to a stop at the place of crucifixion he was completely at one with Jesus.
Jesus whispered 'thank you Simon' and at those words Simon was filled with love for Jesus, he felt privileged to have shared these minutes with Jesus but an overwhelming sense of loss at his fate. He stood and watched not leaving him.
Jesus says:
"My people when you take up your cross, carry it with me, do not go faster and out run your Saviour. By being like Simon and matching your carrying of the cross with my pace you will learn and be fruitful.
Although at times this cross seems so heavy together we will accomplish much and your hearts will be beautified in my eyes. Take courage and walk with me, your Jesus.
The seed planted in your hearts will blossom and bear much fruit.
Stay with me."
Mathew 25 v 14 - 30
14 'It is like a man about to go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them.
15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one, each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out on his journey.
16 The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more.
17 The man who had received two made two more in the same way.
18 But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.
19 Now a long time afterwards, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them.
20 The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made."
21 His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master's happiness."
22 Next the man with the two talents came forward. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with two talents; here are two more that I have made."
23 His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master's happiness."
24 Last came forward the man who had the single talent. "Sir," said he, "I had heard you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown and gathering where you had not scattered;
25 so I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here it is; it was yours, you have it back."
26 But his master answered him, "You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered?
27 Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have got my money back with interest.
28 So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents.
29 For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough; but anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has.
30 As for this good-for-nothing servant, throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."

My Love and Mercy will pour forth
Notes of meeting on 10 March 2015
Picture of a chalice with the word 'Love' on the outside.
Inside the chalice was Our Lord's Precious Blood, it started to agitate and stir within the chalice and the word 'Mercy' was written in the Blood.
Looking closer this chalice was a part of Our Lord's Most Sacred Heart and the Blood began to trickle down upon us. As we praised and prayed the trickle became a flow of Blood and as we continued it became a torrent.
Our Lord rose above us and then out over our Town, over our Country, over our Continent and then over the whole World.
Jesus says:
"My Dear ones as you do each act of good, each prayer, each sacrifice of love, even each little thought of Me, My Love and Mercy will pour forth. Each little sacrifice or petition on behalf of your brothers and sisters in the World makes their hearts more amenable to My Love and My Mercy. In this way by showing love to even the most hardened souls they will be the recipients of My Great Mercy, in this way they shall be more open to My Fathers Love.
It is though your prayers, fasting and good works that My Mercy becomes much more effective.
My Dear ones follow My Mother in all your actions and her life and you will be like her, outreaches to the fallen and lost, and My Heart will rejoice and My Mercy will reach all those that would be lost to Me.
My Little loyal flock My Peace is with you."
1 John 2 v 1 -13
1 My children, I am writing this to prevent you from sinning; but if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the upright.
2 He is the sacrifice to expiate our sins, and not only ours, but also those of the whole world.
3 In this way we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 Whoever says, 'I know him' without keeping his commandments, is a liar, and truth has no place in him.
5 But anyone who does keep his word, in such a one God's love truly reaches its perfection. This is the proof that we are in God.
6 Whoever claims to remain in him must act as he acted.
7 My dear friends, this is not a new commandment I am writing for you, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the message you have heard.
8 Yet in another way, I am writing a new commandment for you -- and this is true for you, just as much as for him -- for darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
9 Whoever claims to be in light but hates his brother is still in darkness.
10 Anyone who loves his brother remains in light and there is in him nothing to make him fall away.
11 But whoever hates his brother is in darkness and is walking about in darkness not knowing where he is going, because darkness has blinded him.
12 I am writing to you, children, because your sins have been forgiven through his name.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know the One who has existed since the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, because you have overcome the Evil One.
Psalm 145
1 [Hymn of Praise Of David] I shall praise you to the heights, God my King, I shall bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Day after day I shall bless you, I shall praise your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is Yahweh and worthy of all praise, his greatness beyond all reckoning.
4 Each age will praise your deeds to the next, proclaiming your mighty works.
5 Your renown is the splendour of your glory, I will ponder the story of your wonders.
6 They will speak of your awesome power, and I shall recount your greatness.
7 They will bring out the memory of your great generosity, and joyfully acclaim your saving justice.
8 Yahweh is tenderness and pity, slow to anger, full of faithful love.
9 Yahweh is generous to all, his tenderness embraces all his creatures.
10 All your creatures shall thank you, Yahweh, and your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingship and tell of your might,
12 making known your mighty deeds to the children of Adam, the glory and majesty of your kingship.
13 Your kingship is a kingship for ever, your reign lasts from age to age. Yahweh is trustworthy in all his words, and upright in all his deeds.
14 Yahweh supports all who stumble, lifts up those who are bowed down.
15 All look to you in hope and you feed them with the food of the season.
16 And, with generous hand, you satisfy the desires of every living creature.
17 Upright in all that he does, Yahweh acts only in faithful love.
18 He is close to all who call upon him, all who call on him from the heart.
19 He fulfils the desires of all who fear him, he hears their cry and he saves them.
20 Yahweh guards all who love him, but all the wicked he destroys.
21 My mouth shall always praise Yahweh, let every creature bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Lord we thank you that you are our advocate that you plead for us before the Father.
We thank you for your great love and mercy.
Pour forth you precious blood, your love and your mercy over the whole world.
We thank you that you chose to die for us on the Cross and that though your passion and death, the pouring out of your blood for us you bring us salvation and redemption.
Lord may we praise you at all times and in all situations both good and bad.
Lord be our firm foundation.
Amen
