Saturday, February 3, 2018: (St. Blaise, blessing of throats)

Jesus said: “My people, in the first reading I offered King Solomon any gift of his choosing. He chose an understanding heart or wisdom to rule his people. I want My people to think of how you would answer this question, if you had such a choice in life. I know in your heart, My son, you would desire faith and a promise to heaven for yourself and your family. As you ponder this choice, you see that it is the spiritual gifts that are everlasting and most desirable for your soul. This is why you desire to be close to Me in daily Mass and Holy Communion. It is also why you seek to adore Me in Adoration so you can carry out the mission I have given you. When you look at worldly gifts, these things are only temporary, and you cannot take them beyond the grave. Your real treasure, is the treasure that you store in heaven for your judgment. You can obtain such treasure by your prayers and good deeds that you can do for Me and your neighbor. You gain merits in heaven for loving Me and your neighbor when you reach out to help save souls. So when you are living your life, seek My spiritual gifts, because these gifts will be most helpful in saving your soul and the souls of others, especially your family.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have been eating some beautiful meals throughout your Conference. I want to remind you with these many sacks of rice, that there are many places where people do not have enough food to eat. You have your rice bowl donations coming up during Lent, which starts in a few weeks. For your Lenten sacrifice you could send some donations to your local food shelf, or to other groups who feed the poor in other nations. You can also pray for the poor people that they can find enough food to eat. There are some countries who have plenty of food, but it is hard to distribute food to countries where people are starving. As Lent is coming, you could think of fasting between meals and giving up something you like as a penance. You also need to think about coming to Confession during Lent. Trust in Me that I will see to feeding My little ones wherever they are.”
