Meditation & Mental Prayer: Catholics Talking To God‪.‬ Noreen Pankhurst

In this episode we feel the joy and anticipation of the numerous people who awaited the coming of the Savior.  To better prepare ourselves we use an old Irish prayer to St Joseph helping us to become perfect as our Heavenly Father through the piety of the duties of our station in life.  We end with a meditation where we connect with the tiny town of Bethlehem and its great impact on the world through the centuries to our own 'today' .    

For those of you who know about Fatima:- I had the opportunity to meet Fr. Gruner on the Hill of Slane when he visited Ireland  and I asked him: 
"Father when will the chastisement begin, 2025 or 2029 when will the "100 years be up?"
 He considered for a moment then answered "2025."

The Hill of Slane is  the location where St Patrick lit the first Pascal Fire in 433 AD in defiance of pagan King Laoighre, the King of Tara. 

The site later became an important monastery, similar to that at Monasterboice, which was founded by St Erc, and had its own high crosses and round tower. 

This is the result of Meditation moving into mental prayer and listening to the heart of God.

This is a 6 minute guided meditation,  It is deliberately short as this is Holy Week and there are many ceremonies and private prayers to be said. Hoping that it can be fitted into your busy schedule.  

   In this second part in our series Co-Redemptrix -Mary’s part in our redemption we learn the dynamics of the title and how to,  explain it to other people.
Understanding that Jesus could not be born of a woman who would pass on to Him the stain of original sin we examine the logic of the Immaculate Conception.
The titles “The New Eve” and “The True Arc of The Covenant” further help us to understand the logic of the title of the Blessed Virgin being “Co-Redemptrix”

Our Meditation after the sound of the bells considers the graces of redemption that freed the souls of the ancient Israelites  and is available to us today.
