beyond our understanding.

The Consecration to St. Joseph begins today, let’s do this!

…We teach what scripture calls; the things that no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.

These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit reaches the depths of everything, even the depths of God. (2 Cor.

Dear Little Hearts,

Today we look at the forthcoming Sundays second lesson, and there is no doubt about it that it is one of the most beautiful, alluring verses in the whole of St Paul’s letters.

…the things that no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.

St Paul was a mystic and often reveals, intending it or not how profound his experience of the Lord had been. Paul knew that there was so much more that what one could visibly apprehend, he embraced totally the hidden realties and had, despite his sinfulness such hope and faith in the promises of God. Think upon this following verse, spend some time in prayer with it, what awaits us yet is beyond our wildest dreams…. And what we shall hear? Surely the overwhelming beauty and song of the angels and all the redeemed? A song of the most incredible harmony… a song without end glorifying God. Things our mind this side of the veil cannot even begin to imagine , in reality our minds are so limited, we may have great learning knowledge, facts and data, and yet in Gods scheme of things it is all as a grain of dust as there is so much more !!!

What God has prepared for us?? This is beyond us , it lies within the mystery, how GREAT IS OUR GOD! Love in its fullness and staggering beauty will be revealed to us and in that love we will live and move and have our being !!

A new world, a new life in God, thank you Father, we bless and praise you for your promises.

…the things that no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.

Then we have in the same reading this amazing statement:

These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit reaches the depths of everything, even the depths of God.

When you have deep concerns, struggles sufferings and find it difficult to pray, remember these words, that what you are not able to articulate, express, the good you desire for another, Gods Spirit already knows for he reads the very depths of your soul. Some people worry greatly when they cannot formulate prayers, or remember everyone they have promised to pray for, likewise, remember this verse, God sees your good intent, your good will in regard to others, He knows those whom you want to pray for and He knows them by name, just surrender all to Him in total trust.

The Complete second lesson.

We have a wisdom to offer those who have reached maturity: not a philosophy of our age, it is true, still less the masters of our age, which are coming to their end. The hidden wisdom of God which we teach in our mysteries is the wisdom that God predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. It is a wisdom that none of the masters of this age have ever known, or they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory; we teach what scripture calls; the things that no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, things beyond the mind of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him.

These are the very things that God has revealed to us through the Spirit, for the Spirit reaches the depths of everything, even the depths of God.

2 Cor: 2 6-10.

A Personal Story of Infertility

Dear Little hearts,

Another new week, a new dawn, a new moment and God is with us, good morning to you all. We begin this week with the first psalm from Morning Prayer of the Divine Office. Not everyone will awake today with joy and feeling the ‘joys of Spring’ as we say !! neither does the Psalmist, the week begins with a Lament and that is precisely where so many people actually are and feel now!!…. beginning their week with a Lament and the Lord is listening !!

Psalm 5(5)

To my words give ear, O Lord,
give heed to my groaning.
Attend to the sound of my cries,
my King and my God.

O, Lord I know you are listening I know that you HEAR my groaning ,my inner cries of the heart, I thank you that you accept me when I am ecstatic and when I am down on the ground, I thank you for your faithful love !!

It is you whom I invoke, O Lord.
In the morning you hear me;
in the morning I offer you my prayer,
watching and waiting.

I’m not talking to myself, Because I know you are the only one who can truly help me, I’m sending all my complaints and struggles up to you Lord, and I am watching out in my life for your response and your word, don’t let me miss your answer when it comes.

You are no God who loves evil;
no sinner is your guest.
The boastful shall not stand their ground
before your face.

How you love humility in the heart Lord, and truth to tell I’ve got nothing to boast about save your Cross and your great love, and that I will boast about for you are wonderful, you are amazing, and to think you love me so much as to die for me.

But I through the greatness of your love
have access to your house.
I bow down before your holy temple,
filled with awe.

I praise and bless you Lord for all my even Christians, for all those who have placed their faith and trust in you, how blessed we are to be members of your Church, the family of God.

Lead me, Lord, in your justice,
because of those who lie in wait;
make clear your way before me.
No truth can be found in their mouths,
their heart is all mischief,
their throat a wide-open grave,
all honey their speech.

Lord I thank you for the way your Holy Spirit speaks within my soul, I thank you for calling me to vigilance, for allowing me that awareness when I find myself amidst those to do not wish me well, among those who even hate me, Lord please give me the grace never to ignore that inner voice for it is YOU protecting me from evil !!

All those you protect shall be glad
and ring out their joy.
You shelter them; in you they rejoice,
those who love your name.

Yes Lord under the shadow of your wings, your arms, I shout for joy ! Yes Lord, I love you, I love you, I love you, and praise and bless your Holy Name !

Jesus in the morning, Jesus at the Noontide, Jesus when the sun goes down, I give you my heart, Lord give me yours.

It is you who bless the just man
you surround him with favour as with a shield.

Jesus, you are my Shield and defender, you are my great reward, you protect me in all my ways and all I have to do is listen!!

Sung Versions of Psalm 5

Pope to bless painting of Our Lady of Walsingham ahead of rededication of England in March.

Feb 8th, 2020

On Wednesday 12 February 2020, during his weekly audience, Pope Francis, at the request of Cardinal Vincent Nichols, will bless a painting of Our Lady of Walsingham, a shrine dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, in Norfolk. The painting, by Amanda de Pulford, will return to Walsingham for the rededication of England as Mary’s Dowry on 29 March 2020. After the rededication the Dowry Painting will begin a journey to every Catholic parish in England.

Walsingham Shrine, founded almost 1000 years ago, is one of the oldest shrines dedicated to Mary. In pre-Reformation times, it ranked with Jerusalem, Rome and Compostela as the most visited sites in Christendom, until it was destroyed in the 16th century. Medieval pilgrim routes to Walsingham exist from Ely, Norwich and Kings Lynn, where pilgrims from Europe would disembark before travelling the 30 miles to Walsingham on foot. With the resurgence of pilgrimage in Britain, it is expected that many people will want to walk to Walsingham this year.

The first documented dedication of England to Our Lady was made by King Richard II in Westminster Abbey in 1381 as he sought her protection in the face of great political turmoil. It was the first formal occasion when England was known as ‘Mary’s Dowry’, although the title is believed to have an earlier origin. ‘Mary’s Dowry’ means that England was ‘set aside’ as a gift for Mary. This event is commemorated in the Wilton Diptych which is displayed in the National Gallery.

On Sunday 29 March 2020, a rededication will take place throughout the country, in cathedrals, churches, and other venues. This rededication is both a personal promise of the people of the country, and a renewal of the entrustment vows made by King Richard II in 1381. A map of places which have offered to host the rededication on 29 March can be found in the website: http://www.behold2020.com/

The Rector of The Catholic National Shrine in Walsingham, Mgr John Armitage said: “It will be a great joy to be with Pope Francis and Cardinal Nichols in Rome for the blessing of the new Dowry Painting. The painting will then be commissioned in Walsingham on the day of the rededication by Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald on the site of the ancient Holy House. It will then leave to start a visit to every Parish in the country as a permanent reminder of the devotion of the people of England to Our Blessed Lady expressed so beautifully in the Dowry tradition that we will celebrate on the 29th March 2020. On this day we shall surely take Our Lady’s message to heart to ‘Share my Joy in the Annunciation’.”
