Saturday, December 20, 2014: (Gary Countryman’s Mass)

Gary said: “I am happy to see the both of you, Carol and John, at my Mass this morning. I thank you for the Mass and our many years of friendship at your prayer group meetings. Our Blessed Mother is gracious to me because she promised to take me up to heaven on Christmas Day. Our Lord is allowing these Masses to atone for my sins, and I am looking forward to being with Him in heaven. There are many souls in purgatory who are waiting for your prayers, so they can come to heaven also. I know this is one of your prayer intentions, so keep your prayers coming for them.”

Jesus said: “My people, in everyone’s life, I give each of you many opportunities to help people in their needs. It is your decision to use these opportunities of grace to store up treasure in heaven. Those people, who do not use these opportunities to help people, are committing sins of omission. Some of you have special skills that you can share with your relatives and friends. Do not look for thanks or any reward, but be thankful that you could help someone. Once you have helped solve someone’s problem, it makes you feel good to be there for that person. Sometime in the future, you also may have to rely on someone’s help, so you are paid back in a different way. When you do these good deeds, do them out of love for Me, and love for your neighbor.”
