Thursday, March 13, 2014:

Jesus said: “My people, I know it will be a while until spring flowers are blooming, but I want My people to bloom in their faith so they are good examples to others. When you are joyful, and you have My love in your eyes, people can see that you have that extra sparkle that does not come from this vale of tears. Your joy comes from Me, and I wish to share My love with all of you. When you have My love in your heart, you want to share it with everyone, just like I share My love with you. You may be called to reach out and help your neighbor in need, that could take you out of your comfort zone. Be willing to share your time, talent, and money to help people. By going this extra mile to help people, you will gain merits in heaven for your efforts. Continue to bloom where you are planted, even amidst the trials of life.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, in the history of the Greeks and Romans, you have seen some of the idols that they treated as gods and goddesses. Even today, in your own society you see how some people worship their sports, possessions, and money, more than Me. Some of these things may be a part of your life, but they are only earthly and temporary. When you worship Me, you are concerned about your spiritual life with Me, and your eternal destination in heaven. I am the only One worthy of your worship according to the First Commandment. This states that you should have no other gods before Me.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen a major search for an airplane that appeared to be lost at sea. There are many stories and suspicions of why the tracking signal was turned off or failed. You need to pray for the missing people and a resolution of what happened.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is sad that Russia has taken over the Crimea by force. It is becoming even more threatening to have thousands of Russian troops and armor gathering on the border of the Eastern Ukraine. As Russia becomes more aggressive, there is a concern for a military takeover of parts of the Ukraine. Pray for peace in this situation, that could break out into a full scale war there.”

Jesus said: “My son, you have had to make a decision to continue nutrition and hydration for your wife’s mother after her stroke. You are not removing these things that are necessary to continue life. In these decisions you are seeing some people stop any support, which could be considered passive euthanasia. You are seeing some states that allow euthanasia for terminal cases and some stroke situations. You do not want to act like Me in ending life. I bring life and take life, and you should honor My ways, instead of man’s ways.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of you pray to Me for various intentions. It is hard to make demands of Me, because I receive your intentions, and they are not always what is best for your soul or another. It is true in the Gospel that I told you to seek and you will find, to ask and I shall hear your prayer. I answer prayers in what is best for you overall in the big picture of your life. Do not be offended if your prayer is not answered as you desire. There may be many reasons that your prayers may be answered in a different way than you requested. Trust that I will protect you and care for your needs.”

Jesus said: “My people, at first you are strong with your fervor of faith to carry out your intended penances. You are seeing that the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. You are being tested by your body’s desire for food and sweets when you are fasting. You also will be tested by the devil’s suggestion to break your fasting because of your hunger. He knows you are weak in your body, but remember that you are fasting in order to train the body to follow the soul’s desire, and not let the body control you. Your penances are helpful in strengthening your spiritual resolve to avoid sin, and follow My Commandments.”

Jesus said: “My people, I asked you to remember to pray the Stations of the Cross on Lenten Fridays. You may forget at times, but you need to make it up the next day, much like you make up missed rosaries on the next day. Make a point to put this on your calendars so you do not forget. Just as you pray My Divine Mercy Chaplet at the 3:00 o’clock hour, remember to honor Friday which is the day on which I died. You will gain merits in heaven for remembering Me when you pray your Stations of the Cross on Fridays.”
