Friday, January 24, 2014: (St. Francis de Sales)

Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you people being baptized because Baptism is necessary to join My Church, and have original sin cleansed from their souls. Even those people, who have been baptized, can fall away from their faith. It is these lukewarm souls who also need to be awakened from their spiritual laziness, and come to be with Me in love. Those, who refuse to accept Me into their lives, are risking the loss of their soul to the world and Satan. Prayer warriors in the family need to encourage your family members to come to Mass on Sunday so they can receive My spiritual food and strength to endure the devil’s temptations. There is a cost to being one of My disciples, and it will mean giving up sinful pleasures so you can abide by My Commandments. Those, who are faithful to Me in this life, will receive their reward in heaven. Come to Me with all of your burdens, and I will give you the peace that your soul has been searching for.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is good to take some time to walk about nature in the woods so you could get close to the peace of the animals. When you go for a quiet walk, it gives you a chance to withdraw from the noise of the world, so you could admire My creation and dwell on where you are in your spiritual life. When you visit a monastery, you can also have a small taste of the life of the monks, and how they live in their spiritual discipline. When you are immersed in the daily noise of your music and work time, it is hard to concentrate on your prayers and how much you love Me. It is when you take a few quiet moments with Me in prayer, that you can put your life into perspective of why you are here on earth, and what your mission is for Me. Without a good prayer life in some quiet time, it is hard to detach yourself from worldly concerns, and focus more on heavenly thoughts about Me. I should be your eternal destination in heaven, and your hours of Adoration are preparing you to worship and adore Me in heaven. Remember to make time for Me every day so you can keep close to the God who made you and loves you. Show Me your love in your prayers and good deeds, and you will have your reward in heaven.”
