As was mentioned this weeks prayer group the music ministery played the entire time of the meeting . NEXT TIME WE DO THIS IN MAY WE WILL ADVERTISE IT AS A CHRISTIAN CONCERT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT WAS.
At the beginning of the meeting Ross asked if we were going to have anything at the meeting about Divine Mercy . It wasn’t planned but since he asked we did A Divine Mercy Prayer .Divine Mercy Sunday in the Catholic Church is A Sunday put aside to honor and remember about the Lords Mercy. Sister Faustina years ago felt the Holy Spirit prompt her to commemorate this every year . She was given a prayer called the Divine Mercy Chaplet which is basically saying have mercy on us and the whole world . Marie had this prophecy at the beginning of the week and felt it fit
Hi Denny, Here is the Prophecy that I told you about. I received this 4/4/24 late night.
This fits with the Chaplet we prayed this evening at the Prayer group.
Behold, heaven is My throne and earth is My footstool.
What can man do for Me?
It is an awesome thing to be loved by Me, Holy is the Lord.
Blessings and honor belong to the Lord. All who find their place in Me, shall never be put to shame. I am your exceedingly great reward. All who follow Me shall never fail. I am with you and will bring victory.
My side is open— like the cleft of the Rock.
Find your comfort, your solace in Me. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be satisfied in Me.
Holy is the Lord.
There was no prayer meeting on Easter. The prayer group on Palm Sunday was a lot of rejoicing music for first half and songs like “Remember Me When You Come Into Your Kingdom “for second half.Of course this followed the traditional the, and bible readings on Psalm Sunday Hosannah for the first part and Jesus’s death for the second.
Our new format is the music plays until Someone is inspired to share then we play softly in background. So far this has worked well. As usual the sharing from the group were great .
Jack shared that his mother had asked him is he happy now. And he said that he is totally happy since he has dedicated his life so seriously to the Lord and he is grateful for all the grace he has been given. He also said that the song “Remember Me When You Come Into Your Kingdom” reminded him that it’s all about forgiveness and we should let all our resentments go.
Denny had encouraging words saying as St Theresa we should do little things to please the Lord and he feels we should all stay within our sphere of influence and lane. He pointed out that Padre Pio had lived during the time when there were great division in Spain between Communists and Fascists but he stayed true to the Lord and what he was called to do. So must we with our continue conflicts in our culture. How great thou Art is a popular hymn but Denny also said how small Thou Art could also be said. That the Lord would come down to our level to save us is profound.

Tina shared a scripture in Peter about disordered passions.That really is a good way of explaining a lot of our problems . We are out of order with what we desire and God wants to put us back in order . And she prophesied.

This is Carols prophecy for this week . She felt it might be repetitive, but it seems to me The Lord wants us to understand our mission .
Me people mean so much to me. They are the workers that toil bringing my lost lambs to me
Their hearts are pure & clean with the love of the gospel within them. They toil wholeheartedly with their desire to please me & bring those that do not know me home.
I await all with an open & loving heart & I desire to gather them close & keep them near
This world today needs all the love & caring you can give them. They are searching……searching for a place that accepts them with open arms
This is the time to gather in community - making no exceptions- to bring all together in unity
Stand proudly in your Christian beliefs that all may see & want what you have
Always be prepared to help those in need. This is the basis of a good Christian life
My love is always with you my children - your hand & mine in eternal loving care.
Saints and Damian Prayer meeting March 17
Small turnout at the prayer meeting I think because of bad weather and St Patrick Day about 9 or ten of us .
The prayer group even when small in numbers , when led by the Holy Spirit is very powerful.
We had worship and praise most everyone shared. .Jack shared about his experiences with street witnessing which were amazing .He had prayed before hand for words of knowledge and he had received specific characteristics of hair styles such as braids and a picture of a lamb . When he get on the street a little girl with braids came by holding a stuffed lamb and they had a great prayer with her and Mom which brought others gathering to pray . Denise mentioned highlights from Ss Cosmas and Damian mission including how Jesus calmed the storm and those that were in the boat that was praying saw Jesus .
I mentioned that I had played for Father Stallas Mission . His mission At St Anthony’s in Fairport Harbor was called giving the Holy Spirit the Reigns and had a session on Hearing Gods Voice . I sang my song he wants to talk to you

Michelle had a word that we are prepared for times such as these .
Marie had a word from the Lord . She had written down the beatitudes as a word from the Lord and I sang a song this is the Kingdom a song that exactly uses the words from the Sermon on the Mount .
I sang some Irish songs like Shout to the North which was written during the divisions in Ireland and Build Your Kingdom Here by Irish band Rend Collective .
I also sang a reflection I wrote about St Joseph since St Joseph feast two days after St Patrick’s

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.
I arise today, throughThe strength of heaven,The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,The splendor of fire,The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.
I arise today, through
God's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
[Note that people sometimes pray a shorter version of this prayer just with these 15 lines about Christ above. The conclusion follows below.]
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
