Wednesday, August 12, 2015: (St. Jane Frances de Chantal)

Jesus said: “My people, today in the first reading, you are seeing the legacy of Moses, and how he was the only prophet and leader to talk to Me face to face. God the Father gave Moses the miracles in the plagues to free the Israelites from the power of the Pharaoh of Egypt. The Egyptian soldiers were killed in the Red Sea. God the Father also gave Moses the Ten Commandments of life on Mt. Sinai. These Ten Commandments were not only for the Israelites, but they were intended to be obeyed by everyone. The Israelites were finally led by Joshua into the Promised Land. Moses led the people through the desert, and they were given manna, water, and quail to eat and drink. They kept the Ark of the Covenant in a special tent, and Moses gave the Israelites the first five books of the Bible to store with the Ark. The Passover is one of the biggest feasts among the Jews because it marks the freeing of the people from Egypt. Easter is your biggest celebration also, because it is a sign of My death and Resurrection to free you from your sins. I am the promised Redeemer of all of mankind, as I am the Son of the Living God, who lives among you as a God-man.”

Jesus said: “My people, I want My people to be the good soil that produces thirty, sixty, and one hundredfold. I give all of you an equal opportunity to use your gifts to produce good fruit. You may help people with your prayers, your good deeds, or even evangelize them into the faith. It is those people, who do not use their gifts, that I will chastize for not doing what they should be doing. You have many options of how to use your time effectively. Do not waste your time on frivolous things or too much entertainment. You should do everything out of love for Me, and not just for yourself. Trust in Me to help you fulfill all of your needs, and to give you the grace to help others. You need to recognize when others are in need of your help, before they ask you. This is how I answer your prayers, because I know what you need before you ask Me. You should be thankful that you have a loving God who looks after all that you need, and I know when you need something.”
