Jesus said: “My people, the Gospel reading of today is all about how you are dependent on Me whether you want to believe it or not.  For those, who have deep faith and trust in My Word, you know that I will never test you beyond your endurance.  You can also ask Me for help and I will be at your side to provide for your needs.  When you are seeking discernment or knowledge, you will find it by My help and inspiration.  Better to call on Me in prayer in your difficulties than to be frustrated by your own ways that may not solve your problems.  Forget your pride to do things on your own, and solicit My help and that of your neighbor.  After you see how much prayer succeeds in your life, you will truly learn how dependent you are on Me for everything.  When you put your blind trust in Me, it is another way of showing your love for Me, and believing in My Words of the Gospel.”

Michelle said:  “Thank you for bringing my picture tonight and for being godparents for Anthony, my son.  My soul is still roaming the earth so I can console my family with my loss.  I love them very much.  I have met Jesus and Mary, and they are very pleased with my service.  I assume the Lord took my life with little pain so I would not have to suffer a long time.  We enjoyed and were happy to assist you in your mission.  I will be praying for all of you that work in the vineyards for Jesus.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are many suffering with paralysis in their legs or arms, or other ailments that confine people to wheelchairs.  I want you to pray for them to have the grace to endure their physical trials.  It is also a hardship for the care givers to constantly take care of any handicapped or disabled persons.  Your heart goes out to all that they are suffering.  Even during Lent be aware of any opportunities to help people either with food or transportation.  Many souls are suffering servants for the sinners of the world.  They should be thanked for atoning for the sins of the world.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are some hard cases of homeless people, who by pride and not knowing how to get help, are left to wander in the streets, even in the cold of winter.  Some find shelters or soup kitchens to survive, but they also need your donations of food to keep going.  Let your love in your heart go out to help these unfortunate souls.  Reach out to contribute your time and money to your local food shelves who support the hungry and the thirsty.”
Jesus said: “My people, when you get old and it is hard for you to live alone, many need help with their necessities in nursing homes and assisted living places.  It is not easy for them to leave their homes, but they may have memory problems or cannot move around very well on their own.  They can get lonely if their family and friends forget about them.  Make an extra effort to visit the sick and the elderly to cheer them up and make them feel loved and wanted.  These spiritual works of mercy will store up heavenly treasure for you to offset your sins.”
Jesus said: “My people, you may know of some people who unfortunately have found themselves in prison for stealing or other such minor crimes.  You can be a great witness of faith if you work with the jail ministry to try and convert these offenders.  They need to have some hope after their sentence is over.  Help them in prayer and even adjusting back into society.  These souls are hungering for somebody to visit them and encourage them in their dark hour.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are many kinds of people with various addictions to food, drink, drugs, gambling, computers, and pornography.  Each of these addictions has a demon associated with them to try and bring a soul to fall under their control.  My faithful need to help these addicts with prayer, removing them from the source of their addiction, and helping them to get professional assistance to deal with their addictions.  Pray prayers of deliverance and exorcism to bind these evil spirits to the foot of My cross, never to return again.  Help them in their struggles, or they will bring more grief to themselves and their families.”
Jesus said: “My people, when you come to Me at your death at your judgment, it will go well for those who have their hands full of good deeds and spiritual acts of mercy.  I have given you some suggestions in the earlier messages for ways in which you could help people in their need, and help you in storing up heavenly treasure for your caring and kindness.  Lent is a time to be thinking more of helping your neighbor out of love for Me in them.  I have told you if you have done a good deed for one of My little ones, then you have done it to Me in them as well.  Helping hands are a good way to show that you love and care about your neighbor.  I will not forget your good deeds, and you will receive My reward for your efforts.”

Jesus said: “My people, those, who live in the Western Industrial countries, have all the food and comforts that they need for daily living.  Those, who live in the poor African and Asian countries, have to struggle for everything just to have the bare necessities to survive.  The more wealth and comforts that you have, the more you are tempted to depend only on yourselves.  The poor are always trusting in God to provide for their daily bread.  This is why during Lent, you need to suffer a little want in your fasting so you can gain some spiritual treasure.  You also may be compelled to share some of your wealth with these poor so they can have enough to eat.  Give praise and thanks to your Lord for all the gifts that I have given to you.  By giving thanks and sharing your gifts with others, you will truly store up treasure in heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, many times I have told you that the only sign, that I will give, is the sign of Jonah. Jonah was reluctant to tell the people of Nineveh about its coming destruction because he was fearful that they would kill the prophet of doom. After his experience in the sea, he finally carried out My call. Jonah said: (Jonah 3:4) “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.” At this the people were shaken and they repented, and put on sackcloth and ashes, and I relented from destroying that city. Now, America, I proclaim to you the same warning. If you do not repent and change your lifestyles of sin, you also will meet with destruction from natural disasters, terrorism, and riots in chaos. Nineveh repented and was spared, and if America repents, I will spare you from this destruction as well. You saw the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the destruction of Jerusalem. So you know that I will carry this out if you do not repent. I told you that this will be like a year as no other, so it is up to your people to heed My warnings, or you will be facing worse destruction than you have ever seen before. I did not give a long time to change, and you have been warned to wake up for many years. Now My justice must fall on your country, America, for you have not answered My plea in the right way in your actions. Prepare for your destruction and prepare your souls with repentance in Confession. I will provide protection for My faithful at My refuges, but the rest will suffer much at the hands of the evil ones.”

Jesus said: “My people, people are social beings and you need to help each other to survive in this world. This message is about being open to share with each other both in your physical and spiritual needs. How can you sit back with your wealth and possessions while your neighbor is poor and starving? You are called to help your neighbor in their needs. In the same way you cannot hide your knowledge of the faith under a bushel basket, but you must be open and share your faith with others in conversions. In a different way I want you to be open with Me as well in the way that you pray. Some only come to Me as a last resort when you cannot handle something on your own. Instead of coming to Me only out of desperation, you should ask Me to help you in everything every day. You should give Me praise, adoration, seek My forgiveness, and give thanks in addition to your prayers of petition. As the priest mentioned in his homily, you can even be open to Me by being silent so you can give Me time to speak to your heart. This contemplative prayer allows Me to have a working relationship with you, so I can direct you on your mission to follow My ways instead of your ways. So instead of keeping to yourself, and depending only on your means, you need to be open with Me and your neighbor so you can receive help from Me and those around you. Sharing yourself with Me and others will give you a joy and a rest that your soul is seeking.”

Jesus said: “My people, to some people today it is strange to you that these earlier civilizations worshiped statues and strange gods instead of worshiping the One true God. Man in his wickedness and pride worships different idols today as in fame, success, money, education, and possessions. Even your scientific accomplishments are worshiped more than My creation of the world. Now some are being taken in by New Age principles that worship crystals, the sun, the earth, and things of the earth. There is nothing new about this pagan worship that past civilizations also worshiped. There can be only One God in Me that you should worship and nothing else. I am all loving and merciful, and I provide for all of your needs in My gifts. You cannot find love in inanimate things. These things that are worshiped will not provide for you or love you. A greater Being has created all that you see before you. It is your calling from Me therefore to worship the Creator instead of the created things. Do not listen to the devil who calls you gods and gets you to look only at physical things. You are spirit and body, and the soul is in search of its Creator. You will not find rest for your soul in any place else than in Me. Come to Me all who are burdened with the things of life, and I will give you My rest so your soul will be at peace. Give up all of your worthless idols and follow the only One true God who is the only One worthy of your worship. I have saved you by dying on the cross. You can only come to heaven by repenting of your sins, and accepting Me as your Savior and Lord of your life.”

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of St. Michael, the archangel, with his sword is representing how he battles all the demons. He fights demons for nations and he especially battles the demons around places of apparitions like Lourdes, and demons around messengers or prophets. When visionaries are receiving apparitions, or inner locutions, call on St. Michael in your exorcism prayer of St. Michael. This is why you have been directed to pray your Act of Contrition and your St. Michael prayer before you receive Me in Holy Communion and when you are receiving a message before My Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle. My angels are very powerful over the demons. Wherever heavenly messages are being given, the demons are there to try and interfere with this gift of Mine to the world. Give praise and thanks to Me, and honor My Blessed Mother for all of the heavenly messages to guide mankind and warn you of the coming events.”

Mary said: “My dear children, in the vision there is a parallel that my Son, Jesus, was crucified outside of town by the town dump. In Lourdes, France I appeared to St. Bernadette outside of town in a grotto near the town dump as well. The innocence of children is how my Son and I want you to be like in your spiritual life. St. Bernadette was very faithful to me in coming to the grotto for the days that I asked her to come. She was blessed to be a nun in the convent and she suffered much in this life. But her testimony of my messages even to her dying day was steadfast as she believed in these apparitions with every fiber of her being. This 150th Anniversary celebration of these apparitions are a reminder to review the messages given, which all of you could benefit from. The miraculous waters of Lourdes that have healed many illnesses and bones are a sign of my Son’s power as he also healed many while He was on the earth. Give praise and thanks to God for all of these healings, and honor me and St. Bernadette on this feast day of Lourdes. I love all of my children and many love St. Bernadette in taking her for their namesake.”

Jesus said: “My people, in the readings today you are openly seeing how the devil tempted Me, and he tempts you constantly to sin. I am showing you how the devil is constantly stirring up anger and divisions between peoples. He is constantly causing estranged relationships in families and among nations. Satan hates man and he does everything to encourage killing in wars, abortion, euthanasia, and killing over drugs and possessions. The vision of war in killing others is the result of sin and division caused by the devil. The evil one taunts the rich to cause wars in order to profit from weapons sales and interest on war debts. Do not be taken in by the puppets of the one world people who are always encouraging wars against terrorism, ethnic differences, or even regime changes. All wars have evil causes and are a scourge among men. Some wars are just in fighting against despots or ruthless dictators who are invading other nations. Wars against terrorism are made up wars, so refuse to be misled in such staged reasons for war. Pray for peace and diplomatic solutions to bring compromise in disagreements. Pray for peace in your families before you can have peace in the world. Pray even for My peace which is much more lasting than man’s peace. Remember how the devil encourages fighting and disagreements so you can be on guard to dismiss such temptations and seek to love one another instead. Love can conquer all of your evil wars if you have love in your heart for Me and your neighbor.”

Jesus said: “My people, the devil in the serpent attracted man and woman in Adam and Eve to take of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil by saying they would be like gods. The devil attacked their pride so they could be like Me in knowing about good and evil. After eating the forbidden fruit, it was then that they realized that they were naked, and they hid from God because they were ashamed of their sin. Even today the devil continues to attack your pride by making the people want to run their own lives instead of Me. It is by your pride that the devil tempts you not to go to Confession saying you are good and did not sin. The devil is the great deceiver and liar. He will tell you anything to get you to sin against Me. Do not believe his lies and give him Scriptures as I did to answer his temptations. Do not dwell on temptations or have any fear or worry because you have trust in Me to provide grace and rest for your soul. I pour out My gifts on you, and I see to all of your needs. Most of all have love in your heart for Me and your neighbor as yourself. You must pray much to counter all the evil in your world, and I will send My angels to protect you from the demons. Evil only succeeds where good people do nothing or evil things. By having a heart that loves Me dearly, you will be called to only perform good deeds instead of evil ones. Temptations will be with you until your death, but I am always at your side to lead you on the right path to heaven. Just ask for My help in My Name, and the demons will leave you.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have been reading about fasting in both readings, which is one of your Lenten penances. Prayer and fasting are mentioned often in the lives of the saints. Fasting helps you to focus more on Me and less on your worldly distractions. You have to consciously remember to avoid eating snacks at night or between meals. This restricts the body from frivolous eating that is not necessary, and it gives the soul more control over the desires of the body. At times you like to shop for the latest electronic gadgets or other things in your shopping malls. But during Lent you could restrain yourself from such worldly things that are not necessities. Refrain even from frivolous looking in magazines or the internet for the same things. Again by focusing more on Me than on any luxuries or unnecessary purchases, you will be more holy and less worldly. Instead of watching TV movies and other programing, you could spend that time reading a spiritual book or a book on the lives of the saints. During Lent you are trying to build up your spiritual lives, so you need time to do this, and you need examples to imitate. Lent is about changing your lazy lifestyles into being a better Christian by practicing what you believe.”

Jesus said: “My people, this tsunami wave coming ashore in the vision will also be associated with many deaths. Sometimes there is much disease that follows such a devastation because of the standing water that takes a while to flow back into the sea. This bug in the vision will be dangerous to man because it will carry a new flu virus that will be contagious as well as deadly. This virus will be of man-made origin and it is designed to cause many deaths. Be prepared by building up your immune systems to such viruses. Avoid any places where tsunamis have come ashore. If martial law is declared in America because of these created incidents, then leave for My refuges where you will be healed of any viruses by drinking the spring water or looking at the luminous cross. No matter what the evil ones are planning, I will confound them and My angels will protect you.”

Jesus said: “My people, My Lenten call today is to deny yourself and take up your daily cross of suffering with Me. It is not easy to go against your own will, but in order to save your life, you must lose it to Me. By following My Commandments, as Moses directed, and choosing life in Me rather than the curse, you will save your soul. What does it profit you to gain the whole world, and then lose your soul? Taking up your cross means that you will deny yourself and let Me lead you in full trust. It means that every day you will consecrate everything over to Me so I can use you to fulfill your intended mission in life. Make every decision by consulting Me in prayer so I can confirm the best choice for your soul. It is better to be in spiritual obedience to Me and your spiritual director than to do everything on your own. Wait for Me to lead you and do not go ahead of Me, and life will be easier for you, and more rewarding that you followed My directions. Taking up your cross in this life will require some sacrifices, but your earthly struggle will find a heavenly reward. This is why during Lent it is good to do some penances as fasting between meals, doing extra prayers, and suffering to do without something that you enjoy, as desserts. By putting some restrictions on the body’s desires and comforts, your soul will be made stronger against temptations from the devil. Your first inclination of good can come from your guardian angel, but your second inclination to evil or to be lazy could be from the devil. So remember to choose life over the curse so you can join Me in heaven for all eternity.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, as you watch the rich on Wall Street and the candidates who spend millions of dollars to get elected, you can understand how money and wealth runs their lives. The man or woman, that is rich for themselves, will be tempted strongly to depend more on their wealth than on Me to sustain them through life. If you truly are one of My followers, you would give everything over to Me and help your neighbor in their needs. Your wealth is of little value to your soul, but by sharing your wealth with others, you could store treasure in heaven. Trust more in Me than in anything of this world.”

Jesus said: “My people, this vacant chair in the White House means that the President will need to seek safety either from a natural disaster or a terror incident. I have told you that the one world people will be staging another major incident that could trigger a national emergency so martial law could be declared. At such a time any group could begin a takeover of your country and demand chips in the body be made mandatory for control of your people. Trust in Me that I will protect you at My refuges during this tribulation.”

Jesus said: “My people, the time for the North American Union to take over your country is quickly approaching. As your freedoms are quietly being compromised, your people will soon realize who is controlling your wars, money, and even your jobs. Once the one world people establish martial law in America, you will soon see the North American Union come into power. This will soon be followed by the Antichrist taking over all of these unions to set up his kingdom. This is why when martial law is established, you must flee to your refuges for protection with My angels.”

Jesus said:

“My people, before martial law is declared, you will see the men in black raiding homes to capture those in opposition to the coming new world order. They will try to surprise you before martial law is declared, but I will warn you to leave ahead of their plans. Again by following My plan, you will be protected at My refuges. Fear not these evil ones, even if you are called to martyrdom for My Name’s sake.”

Jesus said: “My people, your business and government people are warning you of an imminent recession of a weak economy about to develop. In addition to all the mortgage debts, you could see many more people falling on hard times with the many fires and tornadoes destroying their homes. This year will be one of the worst on record for destruction to your buildings, and it will enhance your recession into a deeper economic slump. All of these events will make it easier for a takeover of your country. Pray for My protection in a time when evil will have a brief reign.”

Jesus said: “My people, as house values continue to fall further, and homes are harder to sell, more people will leave their homes to the banks who will then be making more markdowns because they cannot get enough money back on auctioned homes. These financial woes will compound your deficits and could come close to national bankruptcy. Such a financial disaster would ruin much wealth and leave many homeless or in makeshift homes. All of these events, coming from many directions, will be leading to a national takeover. Pray much at your refuges, and I will supply your physical needs.”

Jesus said: “My people, as your recession will worsen, many tax supported elements of your population will find problems in getting enough money to live. In your cities you could see more rioting and stealing as people struggle to survive. This chaos and threats to life will be another reason to call on Me to lead you to the safety of My refuges. The one world people will pay in the end for their evil deeds when I bring about My victory over evil.”

Jesus said: “My people, the people of Nineveh, including the king, put on sackcloth and ashes as a sign of repentance for their sins, and I spared the city of its destruction. As you receive your ashes as an outward sign of the beginning of Lent, you also should be repenting for your sins as well. If your country of America also repented of your sins as Nineveh did, then you would not face My wrath as you will be seeing over time. This outward sign of ashes should also be followed with more prayer and fasting between meals. You should also be more mindful of helping others with your time and donations. You are so conscious of your outward appearance to others, but you should be looking into each other’s hearts to share the love of My Gospel every day, and not just on Ash Wednesday. Look into the appearance of your soul to Me, and have your sins cleansed in Confession to make your soul look white and pure before Me. Lent is a wonderful opportunity to improve your spiritual life, so work hard on areas that need improvement.”

Jesus said: “My people, lighthouses along the shore are a safeguard for ships in storms at sea. The statue of My Blessed Mother by the lighthouse is a safety for souls when she protects you from the trials of life with her mantle. She is joined with Me in putting My Light into the darkness of sin in the world so souls can find their way home to Me. Our love and our protection reaches out to every soul open to receive My graces. We do not force our love on you, but you are receiving our invitation to know and love us. You have been witnessing some severe tornadoes that have caused some deaths. You can place blessed medals, scapulars, and blessed salt around your home, and you will have protection from any storms in your area. You have seen many miracles of houses spared damage that have blessed sacramentals and statues of My Blessed Mother or of My Sacred Heart in their houses. This physical protection is a witness, but our spiritual protection from demons and evil people, will be even more important to saving your souls. Continue your daily rosaries and daily Masses to keep on the right path to heaven and gain fruit in your Lenten Season. Give praise to Me and honor to My Blessed Mother for watching over our children.”
