Saturday, December 15, 2018: (A Mass for Peter Barilla)

Jesus said: “My son, I thank you for having this Mass offered up for the soul of Peter Barilla. His family treasures his life, and he loved being close to nature in his garden. He suffered some in his death, but he is praying for all of his family. He will watch over them. Remember him in your prayers, and it is nice to have his picture around to think of him.”

(Andrew Lynch Funeral Mass) Andrew said: “I am sad that I died alone, but this was the time the Lord called me home. I want to say good-bye to my family and all of my friends. I truly loved the Lord and the Blessed Mother. I thank the priests for their kind words about me. I truly enjoyed coming to the Latin Masses, and I was happy to join your prayer group in praying the rosary. I am happy to be with my Lord, and I thank you for your prayers and Masses that have helped me get to heaven. Rejoice in the Lord because I love Him so dearly. I love all of you, and I thank you for coming to my wake and my funeral Mass.”

Jesus said: “My people, in 3 Kings 18:29-40 you read the account of how Elijah challenged the priests of Baal to bring down fire upon a sacrifice, and they were not successful. Then Elijah called on Me to bring down fire on his sacrifice, and so I did, and the people believed in My power. When I came on the earth, the Pharisees and the Jews did not believe in Me, but I became the sacrifice, and I was crucified, but I rose again to conquer sin and death. Now, at every sacrifice of the Mass, the priest consecrates the bread and wine into My Body and Blood. I share My Real Presence with you every time you receive Me worthily in Holy Communion. Rejoice because I am with you always until the end of time.”
