Jesus said: “My people, My apostle asked Me if he should forgive his neighbor seven times, but I told him that he needed to forgive his neighbor seventy times seven times. In other words, as you strive to be perfect, you need to be able to always forgive your neighbor, and even your enemies. I have told you about forgiveness many times, but I have instituted My sacrament of Reconciliation so you can come to Me in the priest to confess your sins and repent of them. If you truly love Me, you will not offend Me with your sins. You also need to be able to go to your neighbor to ask their forgiveness of anything that you may have offended them. You need to be generous if someone asks you for forgiveness of some offense he or she committed against you, and forgive them. Also, after Confession you need to be able to forgive yourself for any mistakes or sins you committed with a firm purpose not to commit them again. Forgiveness is important so you do not hold any grudges or stop speaking to people for any reason. It is better to forgive and forget transgressions, than living in a world of hate and misery. I call My faithful to love everyone despite any faults or misdeeds.”

Jesus said: “My people, one of your Lenten devotions could be to try and make visits to My Blessed Sacrament as often as you can, especially when you have My consecrated Host in the monstrance. This worship of Me at Adoration is a preparation for when you will be spending many hours at My refuges in Perpetual Adoration. It also is a preparation when you will be worshiping Me in My Real Presence in heaven. When you have a deep love relationship with Me, you desire to be with Me as much as possible. At Holy Communion time, you are finishing up the Mass. This is why it would be good for you to stay a few minutes after Mass to truly unite your heart with Mine, because people are always in a rush to do their earthly things. When you are united with Me, I want you to be at peace so you can fully appreciate My love for you, and you can share your love for Me.”
