(St. Martha)

Jesus said: “My people, you are familiar with St. Martha in her use of hospitality to show her love for Me. Serving people’s needs when they come into your house is a very loving response to show your welcome to your guests. At other times you are called to work for your employer in order to provide for your living. In this situation you should give your employer a fair day’s work for your wage. There are some who busy themselves with too much work at the expense of lost time with their families, and even let their work interfere with time for Me. It is when work is excessive and you are doing it more for the money than love of Me, that you let your work control you. When Mary listened to Me, I told Martha that Mary had chosen the better portion, and she will not be denied her choice. Adoration of Me in My Blessed Sacrament can be your better portion today when you can listen to Me and give Me worship and thanks. Receiving Me in Holy Communion and visiting My Blessed Sacrament are the best ways of showing Me your love. Helping others out of love is important also, but giving Me special attention in person can even be a better expression of your love for Me. Working for Me and prayers are very important to have a complete love relationship with Me and your neighbor.”

Jesus said: “My people, this experience of My Resurrection is one of the most powerful moments in the history of mankind. Not only did I rise from the dead after three days, but it also represented My victory over sin and death. Nothing could contain Me, even in the nature of a man because My Resurrection into a glorified Body is an example to all of My faithful how you will also be resurrected one day. This promise of heaven and a reunited glorified body is what inspires your souls to do everything possible to be perfected through My grace in order to gain heaven. When you went to My tomb in the Holy Sepulcher, you could still feel the residual energy from My Resurrection. When you look at the Shroud of Turin, you can see the effect of that same radiant energy as it embedded an image in the fabric of the Shroud. I showed My resurrected Body to My apostles so they could feel the nail marks in My Body and put their hand into My side that was opened with a lance. I told them to believe in My Resurrection and no longer doubt My reality in the flesh. In the same way I want My faithful to believe in My Real Presence in My Eucharistic Host because I will be present with you to the end of time. Believe in My love and obey My Commandments, and one day you will be standing with Me in heaven in your glorified body after your resurrection.”
