31st May 2008 (Night Prayer)
My dear faithful children,
I am with you as you pray my rosary on this feast of the Visitation. I ask you to cling to a firm faith and strong belief that just as the Father had a path destined for me long before I was born; you too are carved on the palm of His hand. He knows every hair on your head. He has a plan of hope for you. Walk in blind faith, not by your own means but by the justification given to you by my Son Jesus who is your Redeemer, your Lord and Saviour. The old covenant was completed and the new covenant of love came to fruition by Christ Jesus death and resurrection. He has been give to you as a precious gift. Do not squander or waste this gift of love. The Father has given you the precious gift of faith. Embrace this new life of faith and share it with others. You may ask how you can share this free gift of faith. Remember that Abraham loved God so much and had faith that he was prepared to sacrifice his only son. He was rewarded for his faithfulness and trust. Love God with all your being and reach out in love to your neighbour as you love yourself. This is how you share the precious gift of faith. In the same way as I walked to visit my cousin Elizabeth in faith and love. Follow this same path my little ones. Be servants of the little way of holy love. Be selfless and giving. Let the light of my Son Jesus shine out to all nations by the faith, hope and love you possess. Read Isaiah 49:1-16 and follow the path of holiness. Do not be afraid to step out in faith and follow my Son Jesus. Stay close to His most Sacred Heart by healed of your wounds and allow Him to reveal to you the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.

30th May 2008 (Night Prayer)
My dear children,
Today you celebrate the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus is calling all of God’s children to trust Him and to drink from the eternal well spring of salvation which flows from His Sacred Heart. This is life giving water which will nourish and strengthen you. This sanctifying grace given to you as a gift from the Father through His Son by the grace of the Holy Spirit cannot be gained by your own means but only as a precious gift through faith. You are called to justification through your faith in the gift given by the Father of His Son Jesus who suffered, died and rose again to release you from the bondage of sin. This does not mean that your sins do not need to be reconciled. You are called to lead a righteous life of love. You must humbly come to the well spring of salvation and confess your wrong doing and receive the grace of absolution through the hands of the priest. This purification process is most important as in this way you are stripping back the layers of selfishness and pride and submitting your life to the Divine Will of God. Do not be arrogant and prideful trying always to remain in control. This is not the way of God. You have been asked to follow Jesus. He remained obedient and humble of heart. He submitted completely to the Will of God even to death on a cross. I ask you to unite your little crosses to My Son Jesus. Be obedient to the commandments of God and live a life of righteousness and holy love. Learn to be holy as your Lord and God is holy. Give always praise and thanks to your Heavenly Father for His precious gift of faith, cling to the hope you have receive through His son Jesus and accept the Divine love of the Holy Trinity so you walk the path in perfect union with your Heavenly family.

29th May 2008 (Night Prayer)
My dear children,
I ask you to trust me. Trust the Motherly love I have for you. Trust my Son Jesus and His everlasting love for you. Do not rely on your own inclinations but lean on the trust and guidance of your Lord and God. You are called to turn away from the shallowness of the material world. These pleasures can be here today and gone tomorrow. Look to the natural disasters which have claimed countless lives. These people did not know that their time was so near. Live each day as if it is your last. Do not worry and fret about monetary and material possessions as these mean nothing when you too are called home. Let the life you live be one lived in the fullness of God’s love. Live a life of honesty and integrity. Speak always truth. Do not make compromises by speaking half truths or untruths. You will be accountable for the way you live. Let your life be a profitable one. Let abundant fruits flow by the righteous path you tread. Be holy as your Lord and God is holy. Take the path of wisdom. Read Proverbs 2:1-22 and Proverbs 4: 20-27. You are on this earth for such a short time but the choice you make for the next life is a decision which will affect you for all eternity. Choose wisely. Make the most of each moment you are given to lead a life of honesty and integrity. Be gentle and giving, humble and selfless. Let holy love be the imprint you leave on the lives of others when you life is completed and you are called to your Heavenly home.

28th May 2008 (Night Prayer)
My children,
I ask you to be compassionate and caring of those less fortunate than yourselves. Do not be hard of heart ignoring the plights of the many in need. There are many different ways you can be of assistance. You have been told often that the harvest is plentiful and the labourers so few. Pray and ask for guidance where you can best serve others. Your prayers do help so do not under estimate the power of your prayers. There are moments in your day when you can offer prayers humbly for the salvation of souls. There are many who are not prepared to meet their Creator. Stay awake and take this time in preparation. Do not waste a precious moment as the time will come you like a thief in the night. Read Matthew 24:36-44. Remember that in Noah’s time the people ignored the warning. They went about their business eating and drinking and scoffed at Noah and his family as they obediently followed the Will of God. You too, will have those who mock and scoff at the way you live your life. Have courage my little ones. You have chosen the path of wisdom. There will be serious consequences felt by those who choose to take the path of worldly and wanton pleasures ignoring the signs which are given to them. Do not let satan fool you in to the thoughts that you must selfishly look after only your own needs. I remind you again – love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul and all your strength and love your neighbour as you love yourself.

27th May 2008 (Night Prayer)
My children,
Do not be afraid to face persecution and alienation from those within your church community. Look to Scriptures to the journey of my Son Jesus and the words which stated “a prophet is not recognized in his own hometown”. Look also to my beloved Consecrated Son Pio and the suffering and hardship he endured for the salvation of many souls. He followed the little way by his obedience and is an inspiring example of endurance under incredible hardship. Look to him for guidance. Pray through his intercession for his help. He was a man who was mocked and treated with distain by those within his own community but he did not give into despair but endured these hardships for the salvation of souls. He was disciplined in his prayer life and suffered to wounds of Christ in full union with his Lord and Saviour to help in the salvation of countless souls. The fruits of his labour continue to be made manifest because of his commitment to serve God with a humble and giving love. I ask you to follow this path of littleness. Do not become weighed down with the heaviness of the cross you carry. Be filled with joy. Read 1 Peter 2:” 18-25 and 1 Peter 4: 12-16. Let your heart be filled with joy as you unite your little crosses to the cross of salvation which Christ Jesus carried to bring about the redemption of the sins of all humanity and to give a precious gift from your Heavenly Father of a new life lived in the fullness of His love through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Courage my little ones, will you endure these inconveniences for the salvation of the many lost and forsaken souls? This work you are asked to undertake is plentiful and few have the stamina and courage to last the long distance. Walk moment by moment with your Lord and God as His instrument of peace and love to all in need.

My dear little ones,
Do not fear the unknown. Trust and believe that you will be protected and looked after when you follow the Will of your Eternal Father. Be bold and courageous in the same way as the disciples stepped out in faith and spread the good news to many distant lands. Read Scripture and imitate their ways. Read Acts 28:3-5. Paul stepped out in faith to be a missionary servant of God’s love. He was protected because of His faithfulness and obedience to the Will of God. You too will be protected. Trust and walk moment by moment with your Lord and God. Do not let your mind run ahead. Be still and more docile to God’s calling. Do not worry and fret about events which may not come to pass. Wait upon the Lord. Cling to hope in God’s plan for you. Pray and ask for all your needs. You must let go of the controls and trust in God’s love for you. Remember in each situation to ask for help and you will be given it. Look to the courage and fervent faith displayed by many of the saints who have walked this earth before you. Do not be afraid to face the unknown. Pray daily for God’s help and protection. Live in the present moment. Walk moment by moment with your Good Shepherd. Stay focussed on your Heavenly goal to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and to love your neighbour as you love yourself. Follow this basic rule and you will be obedient to all God’s laws. Surrender each day all your worries and fears and live your life in the fullness of God’s love then you will understand the width and depth of God’s love for you. Let the hidden child within emerge and shine out to others as a trusting child of God, walking not by your own means but always by the Spirit of God.

24th May 2008 (Night Prayer)
My dear children,
Thank you for the prayers offered today for the feast of my title “Our Lady help of Christians”. Think about this title my little ones. I am your Heavenly Mother and I want to help every one of God’s children to know, love and serve God through their closeness to His Son Jesus. I was Mother of Jesus and in turn was given as Mother to humanity when Jesus said from the cross the words to John His beloved disciple “here is your Mother” and to me “here is your son”. I care for and weep about the many, many souls who have turned away and become distant from the love of God. I wait patiently in readiness to guide each person back onto the path of salvation. The sword which pierces my heart is the sword of indifference and pride which many of my children have chosen. I weep tears of sadness when many choose paths of selfishness and greed. I weep for the many families which are torn apart because of intolerance and pride. I ask you my faithful remnant to pray and make changes in your families to bring about spiritual renewal with your families and loved ones. Pray and ask for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to give you the fortitude you need to be an example of Christ’s love in your life. Be prudent in the decisions you make, praying always for spiritual help in all decisions. Strive to lead a holy and righteous life of Christ’s love. Be patient and pray for tolerance when you face conflicts with loved ones. Do not retaliate in anger but remain steadfast in your commitment to seek peace instead of animosity and you show love instead of speaking hastily words of anger which you will regret. Let others be led to the love of God by the living example you give with the humble and selfless way you live your life. Let your loving actions always speak louder than your words.

My dear children,
One door may close but if it is God’s Will another will open. Everything you do and all that happens when you work as a missionary disciple of God’s love has a reason and purpose. Do not become disillusioned when you face obstacles. You must be patient and persevering when you work to further God’s Kingdom. This work must not be achieved by your own means but always through listening to the Will of God. Walk moment by moment in blind faith. Prepare well for the mission you have been called to undertake. Study every aspect and spend time learning about the needs of others before you step out in street ministry. You live a sheltered life and it is important for you to understand and learn about the path these people tread. I ask you to not rush ahead of God’s plan before you spend time in preparation and planning. You must pray and listen intently to the gentle whispering of the Holy Spirit. Do not become down hearted when you come upon these obstacles – you must patiently wait upon the Lord. You will know when the plan is ready to be put into action. Ask for the help of those who already walk this path and you will be given it. Formulate a plan and put into place structure and you will receive the help of many. God’s plan will come to its fullness when you rely more on God and pray and ask for His help. Surrender your will and your plans to the Divine Will and Divine plan which God as ready for you. Be docile to the Spirit of God and patiently work towards this mission of Holy Love you have been called to undertake. I will guide you. Ask my faithful remnant to pray my rosary in support of this project. Your prayers are powerful and will help in this mission to bring the love of the Holy Trinity to the poor and the needy and help bring them back onto the path of salvation.

Dear Friends
Below is a proposal I had sent out to family and friends. Eileen and I have had a vision for a few years now of reaching out to the poor and homeless in the form of a mobile soup kitchen. We have been given clear direction on this through the daily Mass readings, the priest's homilies and the messages received by both Eileen and I.A.N.
Proposal for a Soup Patrol in Rockingham
The bus is a Toyota Coaster 1986 diesel model. The engine is sound, the body and inside need work done to them. The inside has been stripped to make into a camper. The couple are selling as the wife is due to have a baby and they have not the time to complete the project. The price they are asking is $2,700.
I have researched on the internet and this is a link to a church group that has decked out a bus from scratch for the same purpose. http://www.street.ns.ca/busupdate.htm
I have also researched other soup patrols and find that the Red Cross runs a soup patrol in Perth, Fremantle, Bunbury, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie.
I have been to the Rockingham City Council – Health Department and I am required to cook the soup at premises that has a grade one kitchen. I have approached Sr. Leonie at St. Joseph’s Convent and Jo Smith at Munja Garden’s Reception Centre. I am going to approach the Parish Council at Our Lady of Lourdes church in view to asking to cook in the kitchen in the hall. I will also enquire as to whether the bus can be fitted to meet the requirements of a grade one kitchen. I will put this into a formal proposal to the Rockingham City Council and also enquire as to whether the bus can be set up to meet the requirements. Bread rolls will be provided by excess stock at Subway Gateway and South Lakes. I will also approach bakery shops etc as the need arises. We will also provide tea, coffee, bottled water and milo. Volunteers will need to wear the clothes to meet appropriate health requirements e.g. hat and plastic gloves. We will also provide aprons for those who would like to wear one.
I have been to the licensing centre and found that a normal license is sufficient to drive the bus. The bus will be licensed when it is finished being fitted out.
I plan to visit local businesses and ask for sponsorship in the way on providing services to fit out the bus free of charge or at cost price. I will explain to them our vision.
We plan to drive the bus to the beach front in Rockingham on a Sunday and Thursday and park in the bottom car park so as to not affect businesses in the area and also drive to the Rockingham Train Station. We will be there for 7pm until 8pm on beachfront and 8pm until 9pm at the Train Station. The serving will be done from inside the bus through a window or shutter. It will be manned by volunteers and youth workers. These times could change as to the need and with daylight savings.
Our vision is to reach out to those who are homeless, in need, hurting financially. We are there to feed them and reach out in love and if the need arises will pass them to the appropriate services. We will have information in the form of pamphlets to give with services available. We will also have a supply of rugs and other emergency supplies to give out.
An account will be set up at Westpac Bank in the above name to receive any donations. These will be properly documented and a receipt issued to monies given and a thank you card. The names of those that are sponsoring, if so desired, will go onto a sponsorship board. The account name is S.O.U.L. Soup Patrol and the BSB number............... is and A/C No. is ....................(if you would like the bank details to donate please e mail me on patty powell@iinet.net.au )
The bus will be stored in a garage in Hercules Street Rockingham while it is being fitted out.
Ways to help:-
By a financial donation.
By prayers for the success of the venture.
Volunteering your services to make this a reality by helping in the fitting out of the bus.
Volunteering your service to man the bus when the soup patrol starts perhaps on a roster once a month or however frequent.
Talking to friends who maybe are carpenters, plumbers, electricians, panel beaters, metal workers or businesses into helping us to fit out the bus.
We appreciate your input and any help that you can give us in this project.
Thank you and may God Bless you abundantly
Yours Sincerely,
Patty Powell

My children,
You all will face different challenges and tests because as a faith community you are all different with gifts which differ from one another but which are complimentary to each other in your service of holy love. You have been told in Scripture that there are many parts to the body of Christ. God the Father has a plan for each of you to use the gifts you have been given to further His Kingdom. Do not keep these gifts to yourself. Share all you have with others. Be always selfless and giving. Lead a simple life of generosity and love. Do not be jealous or envious of others and the gifts they have been given. Concentrate on your own spiritual journey. Pray and discern the plan God has for you. Do not be afraid to use your gifts in a humble and background manner for the benefit of others. There will be times when you will be called forward and other times when it will be necessary for you to stay in the background. Be always flexible when you serve as a disciple of holy love. Wait and listen and then act with integrity. You have committed to serve God as His representative of holy love. Many will judge you more harshly so it is important for you to use prudence and discretion when you step out in imitation of your Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ. Do not put on a sense of false piety as this falseness will be eventually seen through and you will do damage to God’s work. You read in Scriptures that you will be judged by the fruit you bear. Let the fruit of mercy, compassion and love be obvious to all by the humble and giving way you live your life. The world is in desperate need of loving examples of Christ’s light to show those stumbling in the darkness the way back onto the narrow path of salvation. Let His light burn brightly in all you do as a missionary servant of God’s love.

My children,
You have chosen the path of righteousness when your focus is on spiritual matters and not on material possessions. You have been told before that your material wealth is fleeting. You come into this world with nothing and you leave it with nothing. No earthly riches mean anything in your eternal life. Your life span can not be lengthened by monetary means. The Father gives you life and He also decided when it is time for you to be called home. Do not be caught unaware because you have spent your life building an empire and have neglected your spiritual life. Put the love of God first and you will be given all your needs. Do not worry and fret about worldly matters which count for nothing when you are called to eternal judgment. You will not be judged by how much wealth you have accumulated and how astute you are in business, you will be judged by the love you have given to others and the love you have also allowed others to give to you. In James 2:14-26 the words faith without action is dead. Read and learn the lesson from this Scripture. Do not have ulterior motives when you give to others. Give freely without expecting any return. Let go of the need to receive recognition and praise for your good deeds. Be always humble and giving. Walk the path of righteousness and you will reap rewards of life eternal. Seek always to further the Kingdom of God by your many acts of selflessness and love. Reap a harvest which will have everlasting results which are not for this world but for the next.

My children,
I want you to trust and listen to the gentle promptings of the Holy Spirit. Be more in tune to the subtle ways of the Spirit of God. The Spirit will guide you in a gentle and peaceful way. There are many holy people who have walked the path of trust and selfless love before you. Read their stories to give you the inspiration to step out in faith and work in the missionary way of God’s calling to you. You have been told that one mission may come to an end but another will also begin. Do not fear this journey into the unknown. Be always prudent and wise praying and discerning each step of the way. Do not jump from one project to another. Put into place structure and then patiently follow the plan you have set out. You must pray always for guidance. Do not be tempted to rush ahead by your own means. Be still and ask for Heavenly help. Pray to be given patience to work through any difficulties. Do not give in to despair when you face obstacles. Pray and wait upon the Lord. There will be a time of testing. Make sure your faith is planted deep in rich soil so that you can withstand the storms and difficulties along the way. I am with you as you prepare to be a refuge for sinners. The need is so overwhelming so I encourage you to step out and continue ministering to the rejected, the homeless, and the needy. Do not be like the Scribes and Pharisees who judged by outward appearances. Reach out and minister to all who are put in your path. Be cautious in this work you do. Do not be naive. Satan will try in many ways to deceive you. I remind you again to be as cunning as the fox but as gentle as the dove. Pray always prayers of protection. Be careful, my little ones pray, fast and discern first in the important decisions you make as missionary servants of God’s love.

You must act always with integrity when you commit to serve God as a disciple of holy love. There can be no compromise made, no excuses for following the path of self righteousness. You have been asked to take the path of littleness choosing the last place, not wanting recognition or reward for your service of love. Do not let selfishness and greed cloud your thoughts. Do not concern yourself with the path of others. Concentrate on your own spiritual journey. Purify your own heart from self seeking. Be content to work quietly in the background until you are called forward. Do not let arrogance and pride consume you. You have been called to pick up your cross and follow your Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus. He was humble of heart and obedient to the Divine Will of God. Learn to be obedient in the small things as this will hold you in good steed when you are asked to be obedient in the larger ways. Be careful with all your thoughts, words and deeds. You are called to lead a righteous life of holy love. You must exercise prudence. Use wisdom in your decision making. Do not rush and make decisions hastily without thought to the consequence of your actions. You must pray and discern each decision you make when you commit to follow your Lord and God as a disciple of holy love. Obey the commandments of God your loving Father and imitate His Son Jesus in all you do to further God’s Kingdom. Let the virtues of faith, hope and love be evident by the way you live your life. Call upon the help of the Holy Spirit in your daily lives. Do not walk the path alone. You have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit to help you lead a life of holiness. Pray daily and listen to the gentle whispering of the Holy Spirit. Pray for patience and perseverance, humility and obedience so that you walk not by your own means but by the Spirit of God.

My little one,
It is important for you to stay close to Me. Cling to the corner of My garment. Do not let go. When you experience trials and difficulties I ask you to not run and hide from My love. I ask you to draw closer to My Sacred Heart and receive the healing balm which flows from My heart. Do not struggle on alone. Unite with Me in your sufferings and draw strength from the living water of the Holy Spirit which flows from My heart. Just as the Father, Son and Spirit are one I ask you to be united in love with this Holy Trinity of pure love. Accept your imperfect ways and seek the path which leads you to holiness – the path of spiritual perfection. Grow and change each day as you climb the holy mountain of God. Do not be afraid to strip back the many layers of imperfection. These patterns of behaviour have come down through many generations. Let the purification process continue. Let the patterns of doubt and not trusting – the patterns of staying distant and contained be stripped away to reveal the vulnerable and trusting child from within. Walk not by your own means but by the Holy Spirit of God. Rely more on Heavenly help. Break down the walls of control and be more docile to the gentle whispering of the Holy Spirit. Let go of the need to be self sufficient and in control of every situation. Come out of the tomb which you have build as protection from the hurts and difficulties you have experienced. Just as I called My friend Lazarus to come out of the tomb and be let lose from the bondages which bound him I call you to come forth into My radiating light. Do not be afraid. I remind you again to cling to My garment and I will lead you on the path of righteousness. There are many lessons for you to learn and time is limited. Break the chains of the past which keep you bound and walk in My light and love. You are called to be an instrument of My light and love. It is most important for you to be released from the bondages first so that you surrender completely to the Will of God and walk the path of righteousness and love as children of the living God. Read Romans 8: 18-30.

My dear little children,
You must trust completely when you walk the narrow path with your Lord and Saviour. Be still and wait upon the Lord. You will be given signs to help you in your decision making. Do not miss these signs because you are distracted. It is important for you to take time in quiet contemplation to discern the Will of God. Surrender completely to the Will of God and walk in trust. Pray and ask your Heavenly Father to reveal His plan to you. If you do not feel at peace then you must wait upon the Lord. You will be given guidance to make the right decisions. Pray my little ones for all your needs. God’s purpose will become evident. Do not be afraid to step out in faith. Pray and look to Scripture to give you your answers. You live in trying times. You will need to be bold and courageous when you commit to be a missionary servant of God’s love. The work is so plentiful and the labourers so few. Walk with a fearless heart praying always for all your needs. You have heard in Scripture that if you knock the door will be opened. If it is the Father’s Will and part of His plan you must believe that the doors will be opened for you. If you come across brick walls then the time is not right and you must be patient and wait. There are many ways for you to discern the Will of God. Open your eyes and your ears to the ways of God. His ways are so different to your ways. Something which may seem a disaster could be a blessing in disguise. Trust and believe when you abandon yourself to the Will of God you will be given all the graces you need. Do not be afraid to face the tests of faith along the way. Ask and you will receive the grace to walk in blind faith on your journey which leads you to life eternal. Read Isaiah 55: 6-11.

I was asked to post the Healing of Families and Healing of Past Hurts. Please find below:-
Prayer for Healing of Families
Heavenly Father, I ask you now to go back through all in my bloodline, my loved one's bloodline and the bloodlines connected to all my family and relatives and forgive the wrongs, heal the illnesses, bind the evil deeds. I ask You Lord to break the chains, associations and links any of these may have to us here in the present. On their behalf Lord, I seek Your forgiveness, your healing for me please and for all the family.
Prayer for Healing of Past Hurts
Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, guide me to go back into my memory as I sleep. I ask you to heal every hurt that has ever been done to me. I ask you to heal every hurt that I have ever caused to another person. For all the relationships that have been damaged in my whole life that I am not aware of, I ask to heal those relationships. Lord, if there is anything that I need to do or I need to go to a person because they are still suffering from my hand, bring to my awareness that person. I choose to forgive, and I ask to be forgiven. Remove whatever bitterness may be in my heart, Lord and fill the empty spaces with your love.
Thank you Jesus.
Amen.

Allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within you so that you may grow in understanding, piety, respect and pure love. These gifts are given to you from our Eternal Father though the infusion of His Spirit. They are presents which allow you to give humble service and to feel the love which God has for all of His children. My adored son, Jesus, shows the way to give a life of obedience and purpose so listen to His words and become like Him through your actions. Strive always to be faithful witnesses to his truth and help guide your brothers and sisters away from the gloom of apathy and indifference which so many have thrown themselves into. Live a life of simple pleasures and turn away from the clamour of material possession and greed. The world will be simplified when it is purified and those who learn now will be prepared for the great changes which are to come. Be awake to the signs and let your prayers and penance serve to strengthen and enlighten you. Remove the blur on your vision which is caused by sin and ask for forgiveness for your offences. I tell you nothing gives The Christ greater pleasure than to see His family accept His promise and turn it into a reality within their life. I will always be with you to guide you to that promise which is to be found within His Most Sacred Heart. I am your mother and I will do everything I can, with God’s help, to see my children claim the inheritance which they have been offered.

Surrender Prayer
My daughter's friend Kate of Ireland today sent me the prayer cards for the Prayer of Surrender. When Eileen and I visited America and Ireland in April we were told that we had to give to everyone we met the Prayer for Healing of Families and the Prayer for Healing of Past Hurts. The Prayer of Surrender was given to my daughter Jen. Kate had received this prayer one year ago in her sleep from the Holy Spirit. Eileen encouraged me to say this prayer for 30 days before we left on our mission trip. We felt called to give it to people with the Healing Prayers. We typed out the Surrender Prayer and encouraged people to say this prayer. How beautiful to be given a picture that reminds us of Ireland with the prayer. Thank you so much Kate.
Hope you print the prayer out and encourage others to pray it.
God Bless

Novena to Our Lady Help of Christians
Hi on this great Feast of The Holy Trinity. On the 24th May, next Saturday we have a Day of Prayer here at the Holy Family House of Prayer in honour of the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. We are going to start a Novena today and pray for the success of World Youth Day to be held in Sydney, Australia in July. I have attached the Novena for anyone wishing to join us.
PRAYER TO MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God and our Mother Mary, you see the attacks that are everywhere made by the devil and the world upon the Catholic Faith, in which by God's Grace we intend to live and die, in order that we may attain to eternal glory. O Help of Christians, renew your former victories and save your children. Console the visible Head of the Church, sustain the Catholic Bishops, protect the clergy and people who proclaim you Queen. By the power of your intercession hasten the day when all nations shall be gathered at the feet of the Divine Shepherd.
Amen
PERPETUAL NOVENA TO MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS (Recommended by Saint John Bosco to obtain graces and favours). TO JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT O Most sweet Jesus ,You delight in being with the children of men and being the food of their souls.

Three times Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be
Blessed and praised every moment. Be the most Holy and Divine Sacrament
TO MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS O Most Holy Virgin Help of Christians who through St John Bosco did work and still continue to work so many wonders Grant we beseech You that through Your own motherly goodness and through his merits we poor sinners may receive the graces we beg with all the fervour of our souls.

Pray for us TO THE PATRONESS OF AUSTRALIA Lord, You place deep in our heart the love of Mary, help of Christians. Through her prayers grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens. Under her protection may Australia be granted harmony, justice and peace. Bless our country dear Mother with good, holy, priestly and religious vocations. We pray for the end of the drought both of the land and spiritual.
LET US PRAY Almighty and everlasting God, who by the co-operation of the Holy Spirit prepared the body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mary to become a worthy home for Your Son: grant that as we rejoice in her commemoration, we may, by her loving intercession, be delivered from present evils and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ, Our Lord.
MAGNIFICAT
My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my saviour, Because He has regarded the humility of His handmaiden: For behold henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He that is mighty has done great things to me and Holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation to generation to them that fear Him. He has shown might in His arm. He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things and the rich He has sent away empty. He has received Israel His servant being mindful of His mercy. As He spoke to our Fathers, to Abraham and to his see forever. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world with end. Amen.
O Mary conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

With the complete acceptance of my adored son, Jesus, into your life you will see His presence in every aspect of that life. He calls you to service for the will of Almighty God for He also gave service. His way is a way of actions as well as prayer and contemplation and humility. His compassion for all can be shown through your faithful imitation of His love. His light guides you and also shines through all who come to know Him personally and fully. He asks you to be a guide for your brothers and sisters and a witness to them of His great mercy. Do not dismiss anyone who comes to you for all are in need of comfort and love even though they may not admit to that need. Be there to give that pure love and charitable compassion. Proclaim the truth of The Christ to them and to all and help them to prepare for the difficult times which come. Pray for strength and the courage to forgive all who persecute and to accept all who have sinned as you, yourself are accepted and loved by God. Sin does not mean you are lost, just that your need for prayer and guidance is greater. Forgive all as Jesus does and through your forgiveness you will feel the joy my son has when He forgives the contrite petitioner.

When you pray then pray with love in your hearts and a smile upon your lips. Prayer should be an occasion of joy and peace for it is a direct communication between you and our loving Father. It is the key to open yourself to the graces He wishes to give to you. My adored son, Jesus, gave you the great prayer of recognition and thanks giving and humble obedience. Be humble and selfless in your prayers and always seek to ask not for self but for the benefit of your brothers and sisters. To be humble does not mean to think less of yourself but of yourself less. The need for prayer is great as is the need to prepare. Our Eternal Father waits to hear your voice asking for forgiveness and for understanding. Many things will never be understood for it is not God’s will that everything be revealed but use the things you know and the pure love which you have and the gifts you have been granted to help in the great service of salvation. In these times of sorrow and uncertainty you do well to remember that the sun will come again soon and the clouds of gloom will be swept away by the breath of The Holy Spirit. I have said before that there is no time like the present to turn back to God and cleanse your soul. You do not need the signs of tempest and shaking to have a belief in God’s presence. He is in your quiet prayers if you will just listen to Him and not to the roar of the deceiver.
When you pray then pray with love in your hearts and a smile upon your lips. Prayer should be an occasion of joy and peace for it is a direct communication between you and our loving Father. It is the key to open yourself to the graces He wishes to give to you. My adored son, Jesus, gave you the great prayer of recognition and thanks giving and humble obedience. Be humble and selfless in your prayers and always seek to ask not for self but for the benefit of your brothers and sisters. To be humble does not mean to think less of yourself but of yourself less. The need for prayer is great as is the need to prepare. Our Eternal Father waits to hear your voice asking for forgiveness and for understanding. Many things will never be understood for it is not God’s will that everything be revealed but use the things you know and the pure love which you have and the gifts you have been granted to help in the great service of salvation. In these times of sorrow and uncertainty you do well to remember that the sun will come again soon and the clouds of gloom will be swept away by the breath of The Holy Spirit.

Keeping in touch
Hi friends
The team here thought it would be a good idea to keep in touch regularly by having a blogspot on our website. There will be four of us regularly adding to this blog. We hope that you enjoy reading what is happening here at the shrine. We will keep you informed with the latest messages and pictures. We hope to let you know when we update website.
To the left is a picture of the cross in the shrine. Mark one of the friends of the shrine made the icon of the Holy Spirit carved from wood and the hands of God the Father from clay. We were directed a couple of months ago that this was what was wanted to represent the Holy Trinity. Mark kindly volunteered and has done a fantastic job. Today he came to set it in place and unfortuately fell off the ladder. We thank God that it was not more serious. I was over building a chicken coop at St. Michaels (house for pilgrims directly behind my house) and my little dog was howling. Apparently she came in and was licking Mark's face as he lay on the floor. Mark managed to stagger over and get me. He was very unsteady on his feet but insisted that he had to finish. James (Eileen's son-in-law) was helpng me so he came and helped Mark to get the hands in place. God is so amazing as this weekend is the Feast of the Holy Trinity. How perfect is our God's timing. I had not realized it until late in the day.
