“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.” (Mark 9:42)
Jesus, please bring the leaders and teachers of the Episcopal Church to repentance, for they are causing many to stumble by the false gospel they are proclaiming.
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched–where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’” (Mark 9:43-44)
Holy Spirit, please bring the House of Bishops to repentance: they are casting out those who believe the gospel, help them be willing to cut off those members that are fully committed to sin.
“And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched–where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’” (Mark 9:45-46)
Father, please move the hearts of the House of Bishops to repentance.
“And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire–where ‘Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’” (Mark 9:47-48)
Jesus, once again I pray for your little ones who are being led astray by lies. Protect their hearts, don’t let them become chaff to be thrown into the fire when the day of your threshing comes.
“For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.” (Mark 9:49)
Lord Jesus, there is a fire that is coming to the Episcopal Church. Please let the fire of your Holy Spirit come first to rescue those who are headed toward the fire of Hell.
“Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.” (Mark 9:50)
LORD, I pray for all of us in the Episcopal Church, that we will be seasoned with the salt of the gospel so that we may have peace with one another. Thank you.
A word received: I AM calling my people, my faithful ones, to a new hope in me. Pray for a restoration of hope among my people.

Notes from the Front Line
Pray for the House of Bishops meeting, March 7-12, Camp Allen, Texas:
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith.” (1 Peter 5:5-9)
May the Holy Spirit manifest Himself in a mighty way during this gathering, touching and transforming the hearts, minds and souls of every bishop here, guiding and leading us in all that is said and done, that it will be in accordance with His will, and to His honor and glory and the benefit of His Church and people. Come Holy Spirit! Come now and come with power to cleanse and redeem your Church. We need you Lord Jesus. Amen.

Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all…As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength. –G.K. Chesterton

Subject: Invitation
Dear friend,
I would personally like to invite you to the closing ceremony of the three day healing retreat for combat veterans, on the Welcome Home Initiative.
Please be at the great hall at the Spiritual Life Center at 11.30am Wednesday 19th March To say thank you.
There will be a color guard, a bugler, Senator Betty Little will give the address, there will be a wonderful presentation gift given (I cannot disclose that yet as it is a surprise for the recipients) and a letter of citation from President Bush.
I am hoping for at least 100 people to attend… PLEASE come and say thank you to a vet… PLEASE help me welcome home these men and woman who have given of themselves… this Welcome Home Initiative is a diocesan event of great magnitude…
There are still spaces available for combat vets… if you know anyone who would like to attend let me know.
The hand out is seen at www.ctkcenter.org go to WHI brochure. thanks so much…
If you cannot be there, PLEASE pray for us… or write a letter of thanks to be left on the pillows in the evening for the vets.
Send the letter to:
WHI Veteran
Christ the King Spiritual Life Center
575 Burton Road
Greenwich, NY 12834
I have sent this to many overseas friends… I know you cannot make it but please just pray for this retreat. Thanks.
I want to tell you of this miracle… I have said all along that I do not want to do this because of my own War experiences. The miracle is two fold: 1) I am now really excited about this and 2) I have not asked anyone for funding for this and yet the money has come in to put this healing retreat on. It has really been amazing. THANK YOU.
God bless you. Fr. Nigel+
