Saturday, August 27, 2016: (St. Monica)

Jesus said: “My people, I do not want My servants to boast of their status, their wealth, or their intelligence. You need to treat all people equally because I see all souls as very valuable. You are so valuable to Me that I suffered death on the cross to offer all of you an opportunity for salvation. So do not discriminate between people, who are poorer than you, or have less intelligence, or are different from you in any way. You are all My children that I love. The Gospel is another opportunity to learn about how to live a good Christian life. I give all peoples various talents or gifts to provide for earning their living. Some may have more gifts of learning, but they have a higher responsibility to use their gifts properly. Some have lesser gifts, but they still are called to work hard for their wages. Some people are disabled, and they need the help of others. But there are some people who are lazy, as the man who buried his master’s money. You are called to make something of your life without wasting all of your time. You should be able to work for a living to support your family, and be ready to help your neighbor with good works. You were given talents to use them, so work to serve Me and your neighbors. Those people, who waste their talents, will have to account for their actions at their judgment.”

(7:00 p.m. Sunday Mass) Jesus said: “My people, there are some people who like to sit in places of honor, even if they are not worthy. Others strive to be famous and rich so they can show off expensive cars and expensive homes. My faithful people, I want you to live a humble life, and be satisfied with your station in life. Fame is fleeting, and it is more important to strive for the higher places in heaven, because when you are in heaven, it is for all eternity. Those people, who exult themselves, will be humbled, but those people, who humble themselves, will be exulted. Trust in Me because you are worth more than a flock of sparrows, and I will see to all of your earthly and spiritual needs.”
