Friday, January 23, 2015: (St. Marianne Cope)

Jesus said: “My people, you are again being given My apostles and St. Marianne Cope as models to imitate in helping people, as St. Marianne did in working with the lepers for thirty years. When you see people suffering in pain, your heart goes out to them to relieve them. You can pray over sick people, or help comfort them by your visits. Not only are you concerned with people in physical pain on earth, but there are soul bodies suffering in lower purgatory from the flames. You can pray for these souls, and have Masses said for individuals. By helping to move these souls out of the flames, these souls will be grateful for any help that you can give them. Remember to help all souls in pain, either on earth or in purgatory.”

(Mass for Janet’s 100 yr old mother) Jesus said: “My people, some of you have had to take care of your parents in wheelchairs, and caretakers require patience and endurance to take care of all of their parent’s needs. You do what you have to do for your parents because they spent time bringing you up. Sometimes when they have memory problems or other disabilities, you need to take them to assisted living places, or even to nursing homes. Be grateful for every year that your parents are alive. You love them deeply, and you are at a loss when I take them home. Keep remembering your trials, because you may one day need to have your relatives take care of you. You do not know how long you have to live, but make the most of your short time on earth. Keep praying for the souls of your family, so none of them are lost to hell.”
