Thursday, January 29, 2015:

Jesus said: “My people, every person is different, and the extent of your spiritual progress is a combination of My gifts and opportunities, as well as your desire to strive for perfection. Whatever level of holiness that you have, is always coming from My graces, and it is not just on your own efforts. I call all of My people to strive to be perfect as My heavenly Father is perfect. Man has a fallen or imperfect nature because of Adam’s sin, so it is difficult for you to attain the perfection that is necessary for sainthood in heaven. It takes a strong will, and a deep faith in Me to overcome the desires and distractions of the world. You need to keep your focus on Me in prayer to keep progressing in your spiritual life. I want all of you to shine as beacons of true Christianity, so you can evangelize souls to the faith, and help save them from hell. The canonized saints are your models to imitate, as well as imitating My life and that of My Blessed Mother. If you are striving for perfection, then follow Me and My Blessed Mother, since we had no sin.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, as these people in New England are digging out of the snow, it is still early to know the extent of the damage from the Juno snowstorm. Pray for all the people who lost electricity, and those who suffered flood damage. It will take some time to restore these devastated areas back to normal. In the last few years you have been seeing more severe winter storms from a change in the jet streams. It was good that people had some time to prepare for this storm.”

Jesus said: “My people, there is an uneasy peace in this area of Israel and Lebanon where some recent rocket attacks have killed some soldiers. Israel is surrounded by hostile Arab nations, and there is less support coming from America than in the past. There is always a threat of an expanded war in this area, so pray for peace between these warring factions.”

Jesus said: “My people, you will see a lot more vetoes of bills by your President, but some compromise will be needed to fund your government. Each party is trying to control the budget process, but one party has a majority in both the House and the Senate. Each side may have to make some concessions in order for anything to get passed. Pray for your leaders to make the right choices.”

Jesus said: “My people, even your scientists are admitting that the recent flu shot has only been effective for 25% of the viruses causing this year’s flu cases. This is why there have been more cases than usual. You have also seen some small epidemics of measles in parts of your country. Some diseases that were thought to be under control, are causing more sicknesses as tuberculosis and even polio. Certain antibiotic resistant diseases are also hard to treat. Some of your physicians are concerned about these developments. Pray for a healing for these new outbreaks. At My refuges you will see great healings of all diseases by looking on My luminous cross and drinking the healing spring water.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing a decrease in the numbers of priests and the number of faithful coming to church. It is difficult to know all of the reasons for these declines, but America’s abortion rates and the numbers of couples living in sin, are causing a great stress on the faith of your people. This trend will continue until I will bring My Warning experience upon you, when some will be converted. This illumination of conscience will test all sinners in seeing how much they are offending Me with their sins.”

Jesus said: “My people, Lenten devotions are a good way to help put your spiritual life back on the right track. You will begin Lent in a few weeks, so now would be a good time to think of how you could break some of your sinful habits. Your fasting and extra prayers could give you the strength to make some good resolutions to help your spiritual life. Just as you make New Year’s resolutions, so you can make some spiritual resolutions to improve your life.”

Jesus said: “My people, you know the life expectancy for men and women. You also know that one day you are going to be in a casket, just as you view people at the funerals you attend. You do not know when I am going to call you home in death, so you need to be ready to meet Me at your judgment every day. By living a holy life of prayer and frequent Confession, you can keep your soul pure and ready to meet Me. Even receiving plenary indulgences, as on Mercy Sunday, can help remove any reparation due for your sins, which could shorten any purgatory time. Keep praying for your soul, and the souls of your relatives and friends. Prayer is your best weapon against the evils of your world.”
