Saturday, April 16, 2016: (4:00 p.m. Mass, Good Shepherd)

Jesus said: “My people, I know My sheep, and they know Me when they hear My voice. You may not know much about shepherds, but in My day it was much more commonplace when the sheep had to be guarded from any wolves. A shepherd is close to caring for his sheep. You remember how I do not want to lose one soul to the evil one. I will leave the ninety-nine sheep in the desert to go in search of the lost sheep. There are many voices competing for your souls. The devil and the distractions of the world are always tempting you away from Me with their evil voices. My voice is one of love and care for My faithful, and I am always searching for your soul to bring you back into My Church. I wait for you to return to Me in Confession so I can forgive your sins. Keep following My voice of love, and do not follow the world or the devil which only have voices of hate and earthly pleasure.”

Jesus said: “My people, I see how many people are suffering from sickness, disease, the trials of earning a living, and some are dying from terminal conditions. Your hearts go out to all of those suffering people, and you reach out to help where you can. Sometimes comforting the sick, the lonely, and the mourners can be a great help to people. It is your love for each other that moves you to do good works for each other. It is easier to love people in general, but it is true love when you love people who are sick or are hurting financially. Loving your enemies is even harder, but they are all My children. Pray for poor sinners and the souls in purgatory.”
