Friday, October 18, 2013: (St. Luke)

Jesus said: “My people, I have chosen My disciples who I wanted to spread My Word. They all had to say ‘yes’ to the mission that I was giving them. I told them to not take much with them because My laborer is deserving of his keep. Even as I called My disciples in My time on earth, I call other prophets and messengers for these end times as well. Not only did I chose you, but you gave Me your ‘yes’ as well. Unless people give their consent to do My Will, then it is difficult to fulfill their mission because the devil will distract them. My evangelists also require a deep love for Me in a daily prayer life. They also need to keep close to Me in at least monthly Confession and frequent visits in front of My tabernacle. You need a quiet space by Me to hear My voice, and remove all of the worldly distractions. Once you are focused on Me, then I can share My Word of love to My people. My evangelists also must be ready to travel to spread My Word, and they may suffer pains or endure disappointments on their way. These things are to build up your spiritual strength so you can fight off the temptations of the evil one. Pray for safe travel, and sprinkle some holy water or blessed salt on your vehicle. When you pray, I will send My angels to guard your way to keep you safe. I thank all of My servants who go forth to all the nations to spread My Word of the Kingdom of God.”

Jesus said: “My people, because all of your bishops have to retire at seventy-five years old, you are seeing many dioceses across your country that are in need of a new bishop. In your own Diocese of Rochester, New York, you are also in need of a new bishop. When you saw a young bishop walk out, this was a sign that you would be getting a new bishop, but it could take some time. It is how a bishop runs his diocese that will either enhance the people’s faith, or it may result in more schools and churches closing. The faith in a diocese is as strong as its leadership. You have seen how I sent out My disciples to evangelize the people. In today’s society it will be the faithful laity that will help save the people from their sins. There is still a faithful remnant that has prayer groups, attends Masses, and prays daily. You may see them in My Adoration chapels, or in the Confession lines. These traditional Catholics are an inspiration to the children. One example of tradition is when you visit three or more churches on Holy Thursday night in Holy Week of Lent. If My faithful remained true to their younger upbringing, you would not have all of the divorces and separations in the families. You would also have fuller churches on Sunday, and longer lines at Confession. As it is now, you are seeing more people leaving the Church, and very few are praying. The Confession lines are smaller as well. Keep praying for a renewal in My Church that newly installed bishops could help inspire.”
