Wednesday, December 13, 2017: (Fr. Fred Bush’s Funeral Mass)

Fr. Bush said: “My friends, I am so happy to see so many beautiful people who took the time to say good-bye. I love all of you so much, and I thank you for coming. My sister, Mary, is the joy of my life, and I thank her and all the people at St. Joseph’s for helping me in my later years. My friend, John, I will get to read one last message from you. I thank you for asking me to be your spiritual director. I remember your family back at St. John the Evangelist in the old church. I was happy to see you when you visited me at St. Joseph’s, but I missed you toward the end. I am with Jesus now, and I am happy to have a better memory now. You heard many of my childhood stories, like Fr. Erdle shared at the Mass. I was always happy to share my old neighborhood stories. I did love history and seeing all the beautiful people here at Holy Spirit Church. God bless all of you as you struggle through life. I will be waiting to meet all of you in heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, unless you have love for Me and your neighbor in your heart, it will be very difficult to face the troubles in life. When you love Me, and center your life around Me, I will help you with all that you need in life. I love all of you, and it warms My heart to see My faithful love Me in return. I give all of you free will to chose Me, or the world. It does not take long for you to realize that possessions and worldly things will never satisfy your peace, and they cannot love you as I love you. When you have Me in your heart, I will give you the peace and love that your soul and spirit are searching for. You can only find true peace in Me. You have Christmas signs that say ‘Peace on Earth’. I am the only One who can bring true peace on earth, and My faithful are the only ones who truly appreciate My gifts. My faithful need to reach out to the other souls so you can share My peace with them. Once they see the joy I bring to your soul, then they may desire to be with Me as well in sharing My peace. It is love, trust, and My help that will inspire souls to desire My love. Christmas time is a very beautiful time when you share My birth with everyone by saying ‘Merry Christmas’.”
