Jesus said: “My people, I had directed St. Peter to lead My Church, so I wanted him to have no doubts of his mission. Before I died on the cross, St. Peter denied Me three times. I even foretold his coming denial at the Last Supper. At the Sea of Galilee I asked St. Peter three times if he loved Me, and St. Peter said yes, he loved Me. It is the Greek translation of love that makes this more important. The first two times I used ‘agape’ love which means an unconditional love. Then the third time I used ‘phileo’ love, meaning only a brotherly love. Each time St. Peter answered with a ‘phileo’ love. Because St. Peter would be leading My Church, I wanted him to answer with an ‘agape’ love or an unconditional love. St. Peter could not answer with an ‘agape’ love at that time, but he would in the future. Then I told him to feed My sheep, or all of My followers. It is this unconditional love that I want My faithful to love Me all of the time, because I am more than your brother, I am your Lord, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.”

Jesus said: “My people, unless a seed dies, you cannot have the fruit of life. (Jn 12:24-25) ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He who loves his life, loses it; and he who hates his life in the world, keeps it unto life everlasting.’ This means you have to die to self, and give your life over to Me, so I can use you to evangelize souls. When you let Me run your life with your complete ‘yes’ to Me, then you can fulfill the mission I have chosen for you. You remember reading in St. John’s Gospel that I have chosen you, you did not chose Me. I have chosen you to be My disciple, and remember how I told My apostles: ‘Follow Me’. This is truly your mission on earth to know, love, and serve Me in this life. Those people, who do follow Me and accomplish My mission, will receive their reward with Me in heaven.”
