Tuesday, May 1, 2018: (St. Joseph the worker)

Jesus said: “My people, your society today is more focused on their own working, without caring too much for others. It would only be a generous soul that would see to a dead man in the street’s burial, and have respect for another person’s body. Even once you are dead and buried, people will soon forget you. This is why many people at their funerals give you a word about keeping their pictures in view so others can remember to pray for them. There are many souls languishing in purgatory with no one to pray for them, or offer up Masses for them. This is why I ask My faithful to pray for the souls in purgatory, and especially for your deceased family members. You may want to put it in your will to have Masses offered up for your soul. Once you pass from this life, you still need purification for the reparation due for your sins. Many souls need purification because they are not pure enough to enter heaven. So continue to pray for the souls in purgatory, especially for the souls who do not have anyone to pray for them.”

Jesus said: “My people, it takes dedication and skill to find a good paying job in your current work environment. There are plenty of less skilled jobs available, but it would take two such jobs to support a family. This is why many families have both parents working to pay the bills. Going to college or learning a good trade, may enable you to have a better job, but you will be paying off college loans. Working for a living does give you a satisfaction that you are independent in supporting yourself or a family. Workers still have a constant commitment to be on the job at the proper working hours. It may take a long time to gain a pension, or save money in your personal savings plan to afford what you need. Having health benefits is another necessity that not all jobs have, because there are fewer full time jobs available. Pray for your workers to have a living wage, that does not require two jobs. It is better to see people working, than being forced to live on welfare programs. Ask St. Joseph to help you to find a good paying job, and strive to do the best work that you can at any job.”
