Thursday, February 21, 2019: (St. Peter Damian)

Jesus said: “My people, I asked My disciples who I was, and My disciples gave various responses. Then St. Peter said: ‘Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ I commended St. Peter for answering correctly, but it was the Holy Spirit who inspired his answer. Then I told them that I would be killed by the Pharisees and the Romans, but I would rise in three days. Some of them were shocked at My words, and St. Peter did not want Me to die. I told him: ‘Get behind Me Satan, because you are thinking as man does, and not as God does.’ I repeated this to My disciples openly, several times, but they did not understand what rising from the dead meant. I gave you a vision of the tomb where My dead Body would be resurrected. My Resurrection is My greatest miracle of My Good News, and this is My promise to all of My faithful that you will all rise on the last day to join your soul with a glorified body. Give praise and glory to Me for bringing all of you to heaven one day, when you repent and seek My forgiveness of your sins.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, you can see new missiles being developed by Russia, China, and North Korea. America has stopped the missile treaties with Russia, and now a new arms race is being started. Any of your adversaries could launch an EMP attack on your National Grid that could be devastating to your people. Your country could launch such missiles against an opponent, but without as serious an effect. Pray for peace with less killing.”

Jesus said: “My people, you need to pray for safe travel to Canada with your long form of the St. Michael prayer both coming and returning. You also need to pray your storm prayer so you do not get caught in the coming storm. Leave early enough so you can arrive home in the light of day. You can share your pictures and movies with those who want them. Give thanks and praise to Me for giving you another bishop.”

Jesus said: “My people, I thank all of My refuge builders for all they are doing to supply safe havens for the faithful during the tribulation. My refuges will be your only places to hide from the evil ones who want to kill My faithful. My refuges will protect you from any missiles, EMP attacks, or virus attacks. Trust in Me to provide for your protection and your survival. Have no fear and be patient, as these events will come quickly.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have become so accustomed to all of your inventions and comforts in this world. Remember to rely on Me for all of your needs, instead of relying on your money and your possessions. All of these things will be passing away, so all that is important is saving your soul in heaven. This is why praying to save the souls of your family is so important to teach them the faith, so they can have crosses on their foreheads to be allowed into My refuges.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is important to build up your churches with new members so your churches can support themselves and keep from closing. My churches provide a source of grace in My sacraments, and a chance for My faithful to grow strong in your prayer groups and organizations. Struggle to keep your churches open, despite the attacks from outside and the devil’s temptations. Call on Me to send My angels to protect your churches.”

Jesus said: “My people, now you could start thinking of how you could improve your spiritual life in this coming Lenten Season. For those people who can do fasting between meals, you can even start early. By getting your soul closer to Me in your prayer life and Confession, you can think of what areas of your life need changing for the better. Lent lets you pause to analyze if you are getting better, or if you are slipping back into old bad habits. Call on My help to prepare you for the coming Lenten Season.”

Jesus said: “My people, during Lent your parish may offer you a chance to attend a mission or a retreat for some organized prayer meetings. Make an effort to support such offerings by participating in what is offered. During Lent, prayer, Confession, almsgiving, and good deeds would help your spiritual life. If you do not attend a prayer group, this would be an opportunity to help you in prayer all year around. You also might think of attending a Bible study group as a good Lenten activity to enhance your spiritual life. Lent is an opportunity to use your time wisely to improve your spiritual life in coming closer to your Lord.”
