Tuesday, July 1, 2014: (Bl. Junipera Serra)

Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel reading I chastised My apostles for their lack of faith in My protection. The waves of a bad storm were swamping their little boat, so My apostles were humanly fearful that they might drown. Once they awakened Me amidst the storm, I calmed the waters, and they were amazed that even the sea and the wind obeyed My command. This account is a lesson for My faithful that they need to have a strong faith in Me, and a confidence that I will protect all of My faithful from harm. It is not easy in day to day life when you come up against a lost job, a severe illness, or a death in the family. At times you have human fears of how you will pay your bills, but keep the faith, because I have provided for your home and your food in the past. You are more valuable to Me than other animals, yet as I take care of them, I will provide for My faithful just as well. It is easy to be confident in your faith when things are going well, but it is when you have storms of severe trials, that your faith in Me is being tested. Trust in Me to calm all of your fears, no matter what you will face in life.”

Jesus said: “My people, fresh water and cheap fuels could help your economy run with adequate mobility. You have a lot of modern technology at hand to help provide fresh water and cheap fuels. You have read articles that fresh water will become more valuable than oil as a resource. Some people have used unusual sources as glaciers and artificial means to condense water out of the air. Some bottlers of water exploit fresh water springs or aquifers to provide their water distribution all over the world. Others are using advanced membrane technology for making large amounts of fresh water from sea water and harvesting any salts for sale. Newer methods for producing fuels have centered around some form of fracking, which has some problems with earthquakes and how to dispose of toxic water by-products. It is possible to make car engines more fuel efficient so you would need less fuel. Even hybrid engines are more fuel efficient, but it would be helpful if their cost could come down. You have seen many inventions over the last hundred years that have made your life a lot easier. Pray that your manufacturers could focus more on giving you cheaper products, instead of focusing more on high priced products for their bottom line.”
