Friday, March 9, 2018: (St. Frances of Rome)

Jesus said: “My people, I was happy to see that the scribe understood that all the Mosaic laws were based on love of God and love of neighbor. Even when people come to their judgment, this is how I will judge people on how much they loved Me, and how much they loved their neighbors. This understanding and witness of love will be the key that opens the gates of heaven to enter. Many of the religious leaders of My day could recite all the different laws set forth by Moses in the Torah. Yet they did not always have the spirit of love in the law. They placed many burdens on the people, and they did not lift a finger to help them. They themselves did not always practice what they preached. This is why I told the people to follow the laws, but do not follow the Scribes and Pharisees’ example in their actions. Many of these leaders were hypocrites. This is why it is important for My faithful to practice what you preach, because your actions speak much louder than your words.”

Jesus said: “My people, this water falls reminds you how important it is to have a source of water for your earthly survival. This is why I am having you put in a water well for your refuge survival. You have some water in your barrels, but not enough for all the people who I will send to you. Pray for a good, clear flowing water pressure so you can bring it into your house. Water from Baptism is also important for your spiritual life. Baptism is the beginning of your faith life as your original sin is cleansed. Water has a meaning to cleanse your soul from sin, as when you come to Confession. You remember the Blessed Trinity who were Present at My Baptism. You also baptize your infant children with the sign of the cross. Give praise and thanks to Me for bringing salvation to all of My people with My death on the cross.”
