Wednesday, June 28, 2017: (St. Irenaeus)

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is very straightforward when I told you good trees only bear good fruit, and bad trees only bear bad fruit. Just as you see this in nature, it is also true about good people bearing good deeds, while bad people perform evil deeds. So it is by a person’s fruits of their actions that you will know if that person is good or evil. You all are sinners, so at times you may fall into sin, but you know enough to come to Me in Confession to purify your souls. You can see the sincerity of a person by whether they have a good heart in helping people or not. In the same way I look into every person’s heart to see the true intentions of that person’s actions. If a person loves Me in prayer and follows My laws, I will reward that person in heaven. But if a person rejects Me and commits sins without repentance, then I will see the evil deeds and judge that person according to their crimes. It is one thing to know about Me in the Scriptures, but a truly good person will bear good deeds out of love for Me and love for the neighbor. Continue to love Me from your heart, and you will have your reward in heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, you remember how I changed the six jars of water into wine for the wedding feast at Cana. You were at Cana in Israel to see how huge and heavy these water jars were. Different countries have their own cultures in how they have their weddings. You do not see a lot of Catholic Church weddings because your people are not always following My Commandments. I originally instituted Matrimony as a sacrament for marriage of a man and a woman in My Church. Some people are living in the sin of fornication, or in homosexual marriages. Others are remarrying after divorces, or they are married in other churches, or by a justice of the peace. I prefer couples to marry with My sacrament of Matrimony in My Church, so I can be a third partner in the marriage. There are too many couples living in sinful relationships that are committing sins of fornication, adultery, and homosexual acts. The children suffer in these environments because the sins cause a bad example, and there is usually very little love for Me when they do not come to Sunday Mass. Confession is needed to forgive these sins before you can receive Holy Communion. Encourage your children to get married properly in My Church, so they can give good example without living in sin. Some souls are lost in hell because of these sexual sins where people are not repentant. Pray for the souls who are living in sin, that they change their lifestyle, and come back to My sacraments.”
