Saturday, May 3, 2008: (St. Philip and St. James)

Jesus said: “My people, I have a dear love for all of My apostles that I chose to help spread My Word to everyone. In today’s Gospel I answered St. Philip’s question when he wanted Me to show him the Father. In essence I gave him a lesson in trying to understand a little in a human way about the Mystery of the Blessed Trinity. The Father, I, and the Holy Spirit are Three Persons in One God. We are inseparable so that when I said the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father, this was the simplest way that I could explain Ourselves so man could comprehend the Blessed Trinity. So when My apostles saw Me, truly they also saw God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. You will soon be celebrating the feast of Pentecost and how I had to leave, so My apostles could receive the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire, so they could be empowered to teach My Word to all the nations. So My disciples of today, who receive the Blessed Trinity in Holy Communion, are also empowered with the Holy Spirit to help evangelize souls to the faith. Call on Us always to guide you what to say in bringing Us closer to souls in conversion to the faith.”

Friday, May 2, 2008: (First Friday)

Jesus said: “My people, back in the time of Noah after the flood I made a covenant with man in the symbol of the rainbow that I would never destroy many people with a world flood again. This vision of a rainbow over one of My churches is a remembrance of that covenant. When I was on the earth as a man, I made another covenant with man in the Institution of My Blessed Sacrament. You have Me present in My Body and Blood in every consecrated Host. I told you: ‘Who ever eats My Body and drinks My Blood worthily will have life everlasting.’ For My Body is real food, and My Blood is real drink. I want My people to know and recognize My Real Presence in My consecrated Host, so you can give Me praise and worship in Adoration. I have told you before that those, who visit Me in Adoration, are My special admirers, and you will have special graces for being close to My Blessed Sacrament. Those, who are strong in the faith, need to promote My Adoration to everyone so they can come and keep Me company in My tabernacle. Many do not believe in My Real Presence because it has not been emphasized or taught strongly for people to understand this ongoing miracle of My grace and covenant with man. There even have been miracles of My Eucharist in Hosts that bleed My Blood so unbelievers in My Real Presence can believe in this gift of Mine to man. Give witness to My Real Presence by coming as often as you can to show Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament. Give reverence to My Eucharist by receiving Me on the tongue in Holy Communion, and genuflecting when you come into My Presence. Receive Me worthily in the state of grace only without mortal sin so you do not commit any sacrilege against My Blessed Sacrament.”
Jesus said: “My people, you know well of My Blessed Mother under the title of Our Mother of Sorrows. I am showing you also a vision of swords piercing the hearts of family members. You are joined at this Mass to share the gift of enthroning your homes to My Sacred Heart. This enthronement is to protect and guide your family members with My grace and love. Some of the sorrows that you may have to endure are when any of your children may fall away from their faith or join another religion. Another sorrow that you could suffer could be a divorce of these spouses. Other sorrows could involve serious sickness or the death of one of the members of the family. Some families may have to endure not being able to have children. Other sorrows could be lost jobs, loss of a house, or serious accidents. I know some of these sorrows will befall every family, so I know your trials and petitions before you ask Me. By prayer, daily consecration, and the Enthronement of your homes to My Sacred Heart, you will have strength from My graces to endure any of these sufferings. Keep your families close to Me in family prayer and I will have My angels watch over you and protect you from any evil.”

Thursday, May 1, 2008: (Ascension Thursday)

Jesus said: “My people, after I resurrected from the dead, I visited My apostles several times. Before I ascended to My Father in heaven, I commissioned My apostles to wait to receive the Holy Spirit and then they should go out and teach My Word to all the nations. (Matt. 28:19-20) ‘Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world.’ Towards Bethany I led My disciples and I blessed them as I ascended into heaven. (Luke 24:50,51) ‘Now He led them out towards Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. And it came to pass as He blessed them, that He parted from them and was carried up into heaven.’ Even as I rose into heaven, My angels consoled My apostles with these words. (Acts 1:11) ‘Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.’ Truly at the height of the Antichrist’s reign I will defeat him, as I will return on the clouds to bring justice and My Era of Peace.”
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, keeping a good factory job is becoming more difficult as manufacturers are trying to use foreign cheap labor and layoffs because of reduced demand in a recession. Today is the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker, but it was secondary to the celebration of Ascension Thursday. World competition has put American workers at a disadvantage because of your benefits and higher salary than in third world countries. Instead of making a little less profit, Wall Street has dictated a desire for cheaper labor costs. By cutting salaries and worker benefits, it is becoming harder for the average worker to afford a house and car, let alone other living expenses. Pray for your industries to offer a fair working wage, and focus more on helping American workers instead of foreigners.”
Jesus said: “My people, many of your people are more in favor of having an English Mass than a Latin Mass. It was a dramatic change to switch to a Mass in the vernacular language, but there were many liberties taken in this new translation. With Holy Communion given in the hand standing there has been less reverence given to My Blessed Sacrament. Many of these changes in tradition and reverence have made it possible that only a small percentage of the faithful still believe in My Real Presence in the consecrated Hosts. It is difficult to have a desire to love Me so much that you would want to visit My tabernacle, if a person did not believe in My Real Presence. Pray that My faithful will remember their traditions and reverence for My Eucharist. The younger generation is falling away from their faith because they do not pray, nor are they taught the important truths of their faith, including a belief in My Real Presence, and the value of Confession.”
Jesus said: “My people, because of the high cost of oil and gasoline, many new sources are being explored that are now affordable as oil shale. Alternate fuels have a long time to be economical. Many oil companies are not working too hard to find new oil because it benefits them to make increased profits on existing sources of oil. America should work and pray to develop better conservation and oil research for new sources of fuel. Decreasing demand would make your fuels more affordable.”
Jesus said: “My people, just as I commissioned My apostles to go out and preach My Gospel message to all the nations, so I want to commission all of My faithful to go and do likewise. Evangelizing souls is not easy, but it is one of your Christian responsibilities from your Baptism and Confirmation. I told you before to put your own spiritual life in order, so you can be a good evangelist and not be a hypocrite who preaches one way, but does another.”
Jesus said: “My people, your Easter Season is coming to a close and you will soon celebrate Pentecost Sunday. You have celebrated My Resurrection for forty days, and you have remembered the many accounts of My visits to My apostles to encourage them. Now your focus will be on the many Sundays after Pentecost during the ordinary time. Even though the Church seasons change, your love for Me should never change. I love you every day of the year, so focus your life on following Me in imitation of My life.”
Jesus said: “My people, as your weather has become much warmer, it is more of an incentive to work on spring cleaning inside and outside of your homes. In addition to cleaning your physical properties, now right after Easter would also be a good time for spring cleaning your souls from sin in Confession. You have such a desire to have your house and yard make a good appearance, but you should have an even stronger desire to make a good appearance in having a pure soul. For those, who have their souls pure, they will be ready for My judgment day.”
Jesus said: “My people, there is always a feeling of joy and excitement as new life is starting up again in all of nature. This thought of new life and a new beginning should also be inspired in your new converts who came into the faith at Easter. You can also experience new life when a lukewarm fallen away person decides to come back to the sacraments. Pray that souls be renewed or converted to the faith so they can experience My true love in their lives.”
