Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No 38

 


O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.


Picture
A picture of a Monstrance on the Altar in a round Church, Our Blessed Mother was kneeling in front of the Altar and there were people dotted around praying with her. The Monstrance glowed and then Jesus stood in the front encompassing the Monstrance which seemed to be emanating light and glowing from His Sacred Heart. Our Blessed Mother went to the back of the Church and opened up the doors and a line of many people stood outside all of them eager to come in. As they came in Blessed Mother kissed each person before they entered. The Church seemed to expand creating more and more room, so much so that the walls could no longer be seen just the Monstrance of Our Lords Heart drawing the people inside.

“My dear children this picture, is to show all that is possible, even when just a few of you are gathered in my Son’s Name, I your Mother will always pray with you and as my Immaculate Heart magnifies your heartfelt prayers miracles will happen, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly all when the Father in Heaven decrees it, but you know that all is for your good and the good of Mankind.
My children you are fewer sadly in these times but if you pray and make sacrifice calling always on the Holy Spirit, these times will change and souls will come back to my Son Jesus. A trickle of souls will become a stream and the stream will become a river full and overflowing of souls seeking a way back to God. 
My children do not lose heart, for my Immaculate Heart is here at all times as a refuge for you. Together through my Son’s Sacrifice and your heartfelt endeavours we will succeed and there will be such rejoicing in Heaven and upon the Earth. 
My little ones let your free will be governed by the will of Jesus, look to Him at all times, hope and trust In the Lord Our God, be strengthened by the Sacraments. Pray at all times for my Priest son’s to whom is given the wonder of providing the gift of the Most Holy Eucharist, that they may always be carried by the Holy Spirit who is the very Breath of God and so lead their flocks in the loving ways of my Son.
I cast my Maternal Mantle upon you.
Mary."

Zechariah 2 v1 - 5 
2 Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked, “Where are you going?”
He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”
3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him 4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. 5 And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
    God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
    he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
    the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 Update No 37

 “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”


Gospel – Mark 9:30-37
30 Jesus and his disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish anyone to know about it.
31 He was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.”
32 But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him.
33 They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”
34 But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest.
35 Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”
36 Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them,
37 “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”

Do I serve God and others or just myself?
Do I receive those I meet as if I were receiving Jesus?
Do I want to be first, do I see everything as revolving around me?

Jesus grant me humility to be of service to you and others, help me see you in those around me and to see that not everything is about me. 

Picture
Picture of Our Blessed Mother, Her Immaculate Heart exposed.
“My Dear Children I speak to each of you individually from my Most Immaculate Heart with love and joy because you have cooperated so well with my many heartfelt requests.
But now my little ones, I ask you each in these most difficult times to redouble your efforts and fortify your souls with joyful prayer, you must shine like beacons in a dark world, and so in seeing you thus, others will be drawn to my Son Jesus their Saviour. When it seems almost impossible to be joyful, loving and kind turn immediately to the refuge of my Immaculate Heart and there you shall find a well of my motherly acts and in my Sons Divine Will these will fortify and fill you with grace to carry on. 
My adversary is strong but together we will quietly and in all humility without great fanfare demolish his strongholds and so my Son will set His people free. 
Prayer can move mountains, prayer can turn disaster on its heel and bring light into hopeless situations. My Heart is your sanctuary, my Heart is your refuge, my Heart will lead you always to truth and the ways of my Son Jesus.
My children you are precious and I carry you always in the refuge of my Heart ever leading you to Salvation, that is to my Son Jesus.
Mary”
