Jesus said: “My people, in the midst of your many troubled financial times, many people are being brought to their knees to pray for My help. I know all of your needs, but I do not force My graces and blessings on you. You should also acknowledge that without Me, you can do nothing. You are always dependent on Me, but you should be following and seeking My ways instead of man’s ways. If you are drawn to pray to Me for your petitions, then you must change your priorities of time to make time for your prayers. It is better to pray your prayers during the day instead of leaving them to your bedtime when you are too tired to pray. Some have a desire to pray My Blessed Mother’s rosary, which is your weapon against the demons. But when you pray, you should pray slowly and reverently. Do not rush through your prayers because prayer is like expressing your love for Me. I want to be able to hear your prayers without saying them so fast that you can barely understand what you are praying. Several slow rosaries with fervor are much more pleasing to Me than many rushed rosaries. By praying properly and in a planned time, you will find that your prayer life will be much more rewarding in giving peace to your soul. Let this Lent be your inspiration to pray more and avoid all of the worries and distractions of worldly things. I know that you need to survive and take care of your household, but with faith and trust in Me, you will have what you need without seeking more than you need.”
Jesus said: “My people, you are aware of fiber optic cables coming into your house which has two-way communication. High definition digital cable enables the Cable company to see and hear what is going on by your TV. You have learned of another potential threat to your brain functions when analog broadcast will go over to digital signals. The broadcast signals could embed a silent sound signal with a similar frequency to your brain waves. This signal could affect your subconscious mind to do things against your will. I told you to remove your TVs and computer monitors out of your house after the Warning to avoid looking at the Antichrist. This latest technology may be another reason to avoid watching TV for long periods of time. An analog signal would create static when using this silent ELF signal, but a digital signal would not be affected, so you would not know if it was being used or not. Limit your TV watching to a minimum to protect your mental faculties. Call on My protection and heed My warnings.”

Jesus said: “My people, every year thousands die from influenza during the winter time. Imagine a year if there were a more virulent flu bug spread throughout the population. This is exactly one of the one world people’s plans to spread a pandemic virus through the chemtrails in the sky. They have put these trails in the sky for so long, that people have seen them without being very concerned. A pandemic contagious virus could kill many people and reduce the population, which is what the one world government people desire in controlling fewer people. When you see many people dying from this epidemic, this would be another reason to call on Me to have your guardian angel lead you to My refuges where you would be healed from all sicknesses by looking on My luminous crosses or drinking from the miraculous spring water. My refuges will provide you both spiritual and physical protection through the power of the angels to make you invisible. Trust in My coming protection during the tribulation because I send you the grace of My angel protection to help you endure the evil of this evil time. This time of evil will be brief before I will come in victory to establish My Era of Peace.”
Jesus said: “My people, there have been many people who have lost value in their houses, and their market value is much below their original mortgage. You have used an expression ‘under water’ to describe the mortgage that is priced below fair market value. This vision of America’s ship of state ‘under water’ is the same situation where your increasing deficits are about to bankrupt your country with little chance of finding enough buyers to hold your debt. Your banks and insurance companies still have a lot of bad loans on their books that they are afraid to write off as losses because it would bankrupt these institutions. You will soon see that it is impossible to bailout all of your big banks, and once they collapse, your economy will fall with them. This chaos will be one of the means that will enable the one world people to declare martial law and form the North American Union with the ‘amero’ as the new currency. As you see this chaos and martial law declared, this will be a sign to you to have My angels lead you to your refuge of protection. This evil reign will be short with the Antichrist, as I will defeat him and bring about My Era of Peace.”

Jesus said: “My people, the first reading talks about the flood in Genesis that killed all the people but Noah and his family. There was a covenant made by God to man that water by a flood will never kill everyone again. We put a rainbow in the sky when it rains as a symbol of this covenant. Another covenant was made by God to man that I promised to come and die for all of you as a holy sacrifice so that all of your sins would be forgiven. When you are baptized, original sin is forgiven. The symbol of washing with water in Baptism washes away your sins and the water is a link with this first covenant. The rainbow is a symbol also of new life in the Spirit as now you are joined with all the faithful in a common faith and belief in Me. Give praise and thanks to God for making all of these covenants with you.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are many conflicts going on all over the world because the evil one is influencing these wars. The financial problems of the world are also part of the evil one’s plan for eventual takeover. Many times I ask you to pray for peace and even more so during Lent because there is much dissension among the people of the world. By keeping peace in your own hearts and families, you can also spread your love all around the world. When you pray during Lent, put an extra emphasis on praying for peace and the stoppage of wars because the enemy is trying to divide you and conquer you. Trust in My help because one day I will bring My peace in My Era of Peace.”

Jesus said: “My people, this flowing water in a falls and a river is like the abundant graces that I make available to you during Lent. With your Lenten devotions you have many opportunities to gain graces with your prayers, fasting, and good works. If you go along as usual without gaining these graces, you are not taking advantage of the availability of My graces. When you repent and go to Confession as well as your Lenten devotions, your soul will benefit greatly. Lent is a time to improve your spiritual life, and you need this help on your path to heaven. By detaching yourself more from the things of the world and your bad habits, you will be purifying your soul for when you meet Me at your judgment. Not everyone is properly prepared for their death, but you cannot even be sure that you will be alive tomorrow. Live the present moment now so you will always be prepared when I come to take you home to Me.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are some people who are drawn to make bets on winning jackpots in casinos or Lottery Sweepstakes. It is one thing to bet a small limited amount of money, but there are some who are compulsive gamblers who risk money they cannot afford to lose. It is this excessive gambling that is sinful and can cause a family to lose the money that they need to live on. There is another kind of spiritual gambling with your soul. Some people are gambling that they are going to live a long life and they are putting off their conversion until tomorrow to have a good time today. You cannot be sure that you will live until to tomorrow if I call you home today. Better not to wait for your conversion, but do it now while you still have time in this world. Do not gamble with your soul, but be sure that you repent of your sins before you meet Me at your judgment. You are safer to not gamble at all in this world or with your soul.”
(Matthew Gysel funeral service-vase of ashes) Jesus said: “My people, this soul of Matthew has made it into the lower regions of purgatory because of your Masses and prayers for his soul. Even when someone is not openly religious, they still could be leading a good life. It is the family’s prayers and Masses that can save such souls from going to hell. At one point in their judgment, they need to show Me that they love Me. If they fully reject Me through life and at their judgment, then these souls are condemning themselves to hell. Pray for Matthew continuously and he will one day come to heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, when you see someone in need and you could help that person, you have an opportunity for grace in doing so. This is your Christian duty, but even more so in Lent you should be taking every opportunity to even look more to help people without being asked. The more charity that you perform, the more graces and spiritual treasures that you will store up for yourself in heaven. You think first of the physical needs of people, but you can also reach out in faith to evangelize people to follow Me in their spiritual needs as well. If you can help save a soul from going to hell in their sins, you will be helping their soul which lives on forever after the body dies. Reach out with your prayers also, both for sinners on earth and for the souls in purgatory.”
Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you a cave in the hill as a place for a refuge. My angels could lead you to such a place of protection. You need to scout into the cave to make sure other animals are not using it for a shelter also. You also need to put a brush covering over the entrance as a protection from animals and to disguise it from the evil ones. My angels will provide you food and water to live, but you need to bring utensils, pans, and cups for eating. A sleeping blanket and warm clothes would be needed to keep warm in a 50 F cave. You could test how far back to go in a cave with a match or lantern. When the flame goes out, there is not enough oxygen to breathe. A windup flashlight would be good for light. Living in a cave may be a little uncomfortable, but it could protect you from the weather outside. Trust in Me that I will provide various places or refuges for you to stay so you could be protected throughout the coming tribulation. Have patience and you will soon see My Era of Peace.”

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s reading from Moses (Deut. 30:15-20), he sets before the Israelites the blessing and the curse, and he asks them to choose life in following My Commandments. The Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, and if they obeyed God, they would live in prosperity. But if they disobeyed God, then they would suffer punishment for their sins. This is what happened in that they prospered while they were close to Me. Then when they followed other gods, they were exiled to Babylon and lost their land. America has a similar promised land because of your belief in My law at the founding of your nation. You have the same choice to make-either the blessing or the curse. Your country has chosen not to follow life, but you are following the death culture in your abortions, euthanasia, and wars. Because of this choice of following the gods of the world instead of Me, you also will have your land and nation taken away from you. This will come in the form of martial law and a loss of your freedoms as you will be joined in the North American Union with Canada and Mexico. Be prepared for this takeover as you will need to go to My refuges for protection before martial law. Fear not the evil ones since My angels will protect you and provide for your needs.”

Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, receiving your ashes on your foreheads represents the physical sign to your beginning of the Lenten Season. Many of you are proud to wear your ashes in public, but these ashes should be more than just an outward sign to others. People should be able to tell that you are one of My followers by your outward actions, such as praying your grace before meals in a public restaurant. Ashes should be your sign to start your fasting, extra prayers, and whatever penances that you have chosen. I will ask you later in Lent if you are still carrying out your original penances. So be strong in your determination to follow what you have started.”
Jesus said: “My people, one of your Lenten devotions could include more spiritual reading to enhance your faith. This could include the Bible, the Imitations of Christ, the Liturgy of the Hours, or reading the lives of the saints. By following these holy lives, this could inspire you to improve your spiritual lives.”
Jesus said: “My people, during Lent you are suffering smaller penances than I had to suffer, but still offer them up to Me so I can unite them with Me on My cross. You could pray the Stations of the Cross as often as possible to see how I suffered. You could also pray the St. Bridget Prayers in your blue Pieta books since this also pictured My suffering on the cross. Whenever you are suffering from chronic health problems or temporary sicknesses, you can offer this up to Me for redemptive benefits for yourself or others.”
Jesus said: “My people, you know of many people, even in your own family, that are suffering in the hospital. It would be a kind act of mercy if you would visit the sick to cheer them up and show them that you care about their pain and suffering. Some people with cancer or contagious diseases find that very few people will remember them. Make this effort to visit even the terminally ill and pray for their souls and their recovery.”
Jesus said: “My people, taking care of your aging parents can be a struggle at home or in a special care home. As they have difficulty walking and eating, it is hard to see your mother or father in a compromised position. Work to give them what they need and pray for their souls to be ready when they may get close to their final hours.”
Jesus said: “My people, it becomes more emotional as you see your mother or father close to death. It is important to be with them at that time, even if their relationship may be strained. It is also helpful if you could comfort friends or relatives with dying loved ones. Even attending funerals is another way of comforting those who are mourning lost loved ones. Your charity will store up treasures for you in heaven.”
Jesus said: “My people, all of your penances and Lenten devotions should help you to better focus on Me as the center of your life. Your thoughts during Lent are looking ahead to My final suffering and death on the cross that leads up to Holy Week and Good Friday. I gave up My life so that all of mankind could have salvation and an opportunity to come to heaven. Show Me how much you love Me by your prayers and sincere efforts to change your sinful lives into holier lives. At the end of Lent you see the Light at the end of this valley of tears, when My Resurrection on Easter Sunday gives all of you hope to be resurrected one day as well.”

Jesus said: “My people, remember thou art dust and unto dust thou shall return. The ashes of this beginning of Lent focus you more on repenting of your sins, fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. This Penitential Season is when you should try to do an extra penance of more prayer, spiritual reading, possibly daily Mass, Stations of the Cross, and doing without something that you enjoy. It is a time of self-denial and self-sacrifice, as well as detachment from worldly things. You have seen in the monasteries how prayer is a large part of their life. Lent is a time to take a close look at your life and see where you can make some spiritual improvements. If you have any particular bad habits such as smoking, drinking, excessive gambling, too much TV, or too many hours on the computer, now would be a good time to give them up for Lent. Do not allow anything to control you so much that it takes you away from Me. I should be first in your life, and if I am not, then you need to realign your priorities in life. Make a point during this Lent to give Me a special time for prayer and spiritual reading. You may even want to have a little time when your family could come together and pray for a while. Take advantage of every Lent to return to the faithful fervor of when you were converted, or when you made your full commitment to Me. If you never made such a commitment as a total consecration of your life to Me, then you could start with this Lent’s devotions. As you look at the ashes, representing your mortal nature, think of your life’s preparation for your death and judgment before Me. You are all working towards sainthood, so you can be worthy and pure of soul to enter heaven.”
Jesus said: “My people, I have told you that there would be a luminous cross, like the one in Thermal, California, above in the sky over every refuge throughout the whole time of the tribulation. People, that come to My refuges and look upon this cross, will be healed of any pandemic virus, or any other health problem. I am showing you multiple places with luminous crosses to emphasize that these crosses will be above all of My refuges all over the world. There will also be spiritual healings from looking on My luminous cross. If you have a priest at a refuge, then you can have Confession. But if a priest is not present, you can say your Act of Contrition prayer while you are looking on the luminous cross, and your sins will be forgiven. I will be providing for all of your physical and spiritual needs at My refuges, so have no fear and trust in Me and My angels to protect you.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing the poor people in the vision that are finding it difficult to find something to eat. While you were at Mass in the pew, you could hear your stomach making noises before your breakfast. Most Americans have access to food at any time, so you can relieve your hunger and satisfy your stomach. I have allowed you to experience this because there are many people all over the world who go to bed hungry every night. These poor people have to endure this noise in their stomachs all day long. So I ask you to pray for those who are hungry that they may find something to eat. Also make regular donations to your food shelves or to agencies that help feed the poor. Almsgiving is very appropriate as an offering for your coming Lenten devotions. America has been very blessed with food because of your past generous donations and help to free people from ruthless dictators. But over recent years your sins of abortion and sexual sins are calling down My justice on your people. This is why in time you will see a controlled famine and America will see people hungry here, especially those who are against the new world order. Eventually, as your conditions worsen, you will need to call on Me to have your guardian angels lead you to My refuges where you will have food multiplied to feed the people. Give praise and glory to Me for providing for all of your needs. You are dependent on Me for everything, even if you do not want to admit it.”

Our Lady said: “My dear children of this conference, you are also celebrating the First Anniversary of this place as the Betania IV Shrine that was crowned yesterday. You have a deep loving remembrance of your experiences in Betania, Venezuela when you saw many blue butterflies that represent my very presence among you. You are united with Geo and the Bianchini Family and their hospitality when you visit them. Even at this shrine you have pictures and a sense of Maria Esperanza’s presence among you. Many beautiful talks are encouraging you to constantly renew your loving relationship with my Son, Jesus, and me in your daily prayers. I especially want to encourage my families to pray together my rosary to protect your families from the attacks of the evil one through the distractions of the world. By making your consecration to me and my Son, Jesus, you can focus more on your earthly mission to save souls for heaven. It is by your good works and prayers that you will be good examples to others to have devotion to me and to worship Jesus. When you call on us in prayers, we are here to answer your petitions for what is best for your souls. Rejoice at this shrine that you can share love with your fellow pilgrims in life, as you walk with us on your path to heaven.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are some people that have a difficulty in understanding how I could multiply your shelters at My refuges. This requires a trust in My Word and a belief that I can do the impossible in man’s world. It is nothing for My angels to build either a high building on a small plot of land, or many buildings on a large plot of land. I told you before when the people will first come to My refuges that they will be frightened. Then once they start seeing miracles of the food and water being multiplied, they will have more confidence in what I have promised you. Again when you see your rooms being multiplied, many will be in amazement of My power and that of My angels. You will rejoice in My protection and see how generous I am in providing for your needs. Give praise and glory to Me in all that I do for you now and in the future.”
