(Bl. Kateri Tekakwitha)

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is a little difficult to understand when I speak of bringing division to families, and I am all-loving. I am your Creator and you are My children, so I am the only One worthy of your worship. I should also be the center of your life where you focus more on following Me than following your own will. You are all dependent on Me for everything, even for the very life and existence that you have right now. You have a choice then to follow My love or to follow your own ways. When you choose to follow Me out of love, I ask you to consecrate everything over to Me, to obey My Commandments, and to pick up your daily cross and carry your sufferings with Me on My cross. I do not bring division by Myself, but it is each person who chooses to accept Me or not as the center of their lives. It is when some want to run their own lives that you may have some disagreements among family members. But if your family prays together with love in your hearts, there will be harmony in your relationships because of your love for Me. I give you all of My gifts in My sacraments, life’s necessities, and the holy sacramentals and prayers to protect you from the evil one. Give thanks to Me for all that you have been given, and continue to follow My Will on the narrow road to heaven.”
