Sunday, December 4, 2016:

Jesus said: “My people, Advent time is a time of preparing for Christmas, but also it is a time to prepare your soul by confessing your sins, and changing your heart to more love for Me and your neighbor. The Pharisees also taunted Me, because I was threatening their authority over the people. I came to redeem the people with My sacrifice on the cross, but the Pharisees were hypocrites, because they did not follow what they preached. They were only interested in money, fame, and power. I also came as a God-man to give you an example to follow, since I was without sin. Even when you fall into sin, your soul can be restored by confessing your sins to the priest, and to Me in the priest. Seek My forgiveness and avoid repeating your sins that offend Me. I love all of you, and I want to look at your pure souls, instead of all the black souls in mortal sin.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing St. John baptizing Me in the Jordan River, and you have been to this same place in Israel. This scene was in a desolate place in the desert, and it is a great place to consider repenting of one’s sins. St. John was the last of the Old Testament prophets, and he was My herald in the desert preparing the way for My mission. St. John baptized with water, but I came to baptize with the Holy Spirit. Your Baptisms now, are possible because My sacrifice has redeemed your souls with the price of My Blood. Your Baptism brings you into the faith. It is sad that some parents refuse to have their children baptized. There could be a Baptism of desire in these cases. At the Easter Vigil and at Baptismal services, you are denying the devil and all of his temptations. This sacrament is a deliverance service to claim your soul for Me. In a word, today is all about repenting and being sorry for your sins. Keep close to Me in your prayers, so the devil cannot steal your soul.”
