  1. THE GOSPEL MESSAGEJohn 3:16“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

  2. Perfect Love Cast Out All FearGod is Love ! “ Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous. Love is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love Never Fails.”1 Corinthians 13:4-8

  3. God’s Promise Isaiah 43:4-5 “ I will give up whole nations to save your life,because you are precious in my eyes and glorious and because I love you and give you honor. Do not be afraid – I am with you! ” 1 Peter 3:14-15 But even if you should suffer because of righteousness, blessed are you. Do not be afraid or terrified with fear of them, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.

  4. New Evangelization St. Paul’s heart was transformed when he had a personal encounter withJesus on the road to Damascus. Through prayer he was filled with the Holy Spirit and received power to answer the call of the Lord! …the Church needs genuine witnesses for the new evangelization: men and women whose lives have been transformed by meeting with Jesus, men and women who are capable of communicating this experience to others. The Church needs saints. All are called to holiness, and holy people alone can renew humanity." — Pope John Paul II, August 2004

  5. While walking on earth Jesus told his disciples: “ I tell you most solemnly, whoever believes in me will perform the same works as I do myself; he will perform even greater works, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12). Those who have welcomed Christ are called to proclaim the Good News ! To be effective in spreading the Kingdom of God, we must seekJesus daily in prayer, soaking in all that he desires to give us and coming to know his love and power. Only then can we introduce others to him.

  10. Disciples of the Lamb Apostles of the King Called and Gifted A way of discerning your Charism: a gift of the Holy Spirit which allows us to do the work of The Lord. It is a divine gift, not a natural talent. Knowing which is our Charism enables us to then find out in which areas of ministry we are to work in for Christ the Lord. A Time to Reflect / A Time to Act SERVANT LEADERSHIP / STEWARDSHIP As each have received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1 Pt. 4:10

Intercessory Healing Prayer • Theophostic Prayer is intentional and focused prayer with the desired outcome of an authentic encounter with the presence of Christ, resulting in mind renewal and subsequent transformed life.

The Mystical Body of Christ
