Jesus said: “My people, I am truly the Bread of Life because those who eat My Body and drink My Blood will have eternal life in heaven. In the Gospel I warned My apostles against the leaven of the Pharisees and that of Herod. This means do not follow the actions of both, because they are hypocrites and they have evil intentions against Me. Instead, follow My Commandments of love of God, and love of neighbor. The apostles only brought one loaf of bread, so they did not have confidence that I could provide what they needed in more bread. I reminded them of how I multiplied the bread for the four thousand and the five thousand. I even chastised them for having little faith, and not enough understanding of My gifts. I not only multiply the bread physically, but I also multiply the spiritual bread of My Eucharist. This is why you cling to Me in My Real Presence, because I am the Light, the truth, and the life of your soul. Believe in Me, and follow Me, and you will have eternal life. My Eucharist is real Bread, and you have Me in your soul, when you receive Me in Holy Communion.”

(Ash Wednesday Vigil) Jesus said: “My people, you are beginning a new season of Lent starting with Ash Wednesday, when you receive your ashes from the priest. This is a sign to you that you were created out of dust, and to dust you shall return. Lent is a great spiritual opportunity to improve your spiritual life. You may start with a special penance that you could do throughout Lent, like giving up TV, or sweets. Pick a penance that you like to do, so you can offer it up to Me for souls. You can pray for the poor, and give alms to the poor, as your local food shelf. You can continue your prayers, daily Mass, and fasting between meals. You can make some small sacrifices, and you can help cleanse your soul with Confession of your sins. By drawing close to Me in daily Adoration, I can grow closer to you in your daily lives. Trust in Me, and ask My help to be faithful to the penance that you chose.”
