As you may be aware, on Wednesday 15th May, various amendments to the Criminal Justice Bill are likely be voted on in Parliament. These could have a big impact on abortion laws in this country so please pray hard and make sure your MP knows how you want them to vote. Some of these amendments would result in abortions being legal up to birth for any reason.
We will be joining with other pro-life groups from around the UK for a united rally in Parliament Square, London, SW1P 3JX, at 11am on Wednesday 15th May. We encourage you, if you are able to get to London to join us under the banner of “No to abortion up to birth”. We want to send a consistent message, so please only use the signs and banners that will be provided. Please save the date and I hope to see you there.
Once the Eucharistic consecration happens at mass I sometimes sense tears. My heart repeats to me ‘Oh my Jesus’ as I sense the guards hammer nails into Our Lords body. Jesus doesn’t fight, he slowly cries like a soft whimper because of such cruelty. The altar is Calgary; in my soul it becomes Calgary. He cries because many are manhandling his body like the guards did. The devil has created the conditions for the church to self-destruct and cause Jesus pain without realising this is happening. If only we knew.’
Fasting can also be called redemptive suffering. When we purposely neglect what the body requires we are closer to Spirit closer to our true self. It strengthens you spiritually and we identify more with Jesus. Particularly in his ability to accept suffering and not retaliate.
During May of this year for a small period I went through an internal suffering which was only calmed by fasting. Jesus allowed me to stumble towards this truth.
There are different types of suffering;
1 is internal where Jesus places the burning inside needed for souls
The 2nd one is outer events where people who live in the world and do not love Jesus will target you. Their behaviour against you is gradual. This has manifested in bullying at work in my case. I’m now having to take temping work. I’ve decided to do this because with temporary work I can go from job to job like I did when I was a young man. In a permanent position you are kind of trapped. At first everyone is nice then after three weeks more genuine dynamics settle.
The other solution is to stay secluded but as a husband I cannot do this.
In all these cases fasting alleviates these experiences but particularly with internal suffering. During 2019 My wife was told of a saint called St Bartholomew. There are saints in Heaven we don’t know of. He suffered in the mind and asked us to pray to him.
It’s telling that Jesus fasted for 40 days before the week of his passion. This was to prepare and strengthen his body and mind to accept the barbarity and cruelty that was to come.
If one can master the Litany of Humility that’s an effort too. Then we can smile at our enemies who tempt us.
Saint Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274) said: “Out of reverence towards this Sacrament [the Holy Eucharist], nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest’s hands, for touching this .
My dearly beloved daughter, the greatest pain that those who love Me must endure is that of darkness of the soul.The more you join with Me and in Me, the more I will suffer within you.For when I reside within your soul, the more you will have to endure pain because of this.
When a soul becomes part of Me, in full union, and when he surrenders his will to Me, the more My Presence will be evident in that person. He will draw down upon him the hatred of others, he will feel My Own sorrow as he has to witness the unfairness, injustice and wickedness because of sin in the world. His senses will become acute, his understanding of spiritual matters – borne as a result of suffering with Me – will reveal many things, which will awaken within him a deeper understanding as to the battle that exists between God and Satan.
He will understand what has engulfed his soul, his body and his senses, but this does not mean that he will find it easy to accept. The human intellect is not capable of understanding all that is of Me or all that comes from Me. But if he will trust in Me and accept that all good comes from Me, then he will enable Me to grow within him, for the good of all.
I can achieve great things when you allow Me to reside within your soul. So many people can be given My Gift of Mercy when you allow My Love to spread in this way. It is through the victim soul that I can intervene to save the souls of others. Always accept that when I present the Gift of Suffering it brings great rewards for humanity as a whole. My Mercy is My Gift to you. Accept the different ways in which I work, with graciousness, for the pain of being in union with Me will be short-lived.
Accept Me as I Am, and not as you think I should be.
The beating heart of Our Lord Jesus awaits us in each Holy Mass. May we honour him by approaching the altar with reverence. Please,any Eucharistic Minister examine your conscience. Jesus expects and deserves all the love respect and reverence we can give.
If anyone is intending to dress in shorts…please don’t do this. Please don’t wear sandals. It takes very little money to dress respectfully. We are approaching Calvary each time we near the altar. In our hearts remember Our Blessed Mother’s suffering. Please on this day let us please Jesus as much as we can.
I’ve noticed some incidents that occur when my wife and myself pray the Holy Rosary. I can only say it’s like a bomb of peace that falls covering an area of up to 50 metres in front of us. We live on a council estate. In America this would be called the projects. Some families […]

GLANCE AT JERUSALEM AT THIS HOUR As soon as Jesus was taken into custody, Annas and Caiaphas were informed of the fact and they began actively to arrange their plans.
