Friday, August 8, 2008: (St. Dominic)
Jesus said: “My people, the white crosses represent My faithful souls when they have died. When you die, My faithful may have to spend some time in purgatory to make up reparation for your sins and cleanse all of your earthly desires. In order to enter heaven, you must be fully purified in your soul until you have reached the perfection of a saint. You need to be fully focused on Me only, and without any love of any earthly thing. When you have given everything over to Me, and are ready to enter heaven, then you will be one of these disappearing crosses that are accepted into heaven. My love flows out to all of My faithful, and My mercy and grace are available for all of you. The souls in purgatory have to answer to My justice for their offenses against Me. I have allowed the living souls in their bodies to pray for the souls in purgatory to lessen their punishment. This is why these souls should be in your prayer intentions. These souls in purgatory will pray for you both on earth and in purgatory.”
Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you these four legs of a chair as the foundation of your spiritual life with Me. The four legs are: your prayer life; My Mass and the sacraments; the gifts of faith and My Word in the Bible; and the gifts of hope and love in doing good deeds for people. Your prayer life is most important in praying your rosaries, Divine Mercy chaplet, morning and night prayers, along with informal prayers because it shows Me your love for Me. A good prayer life will be your daily support through good times and bad times. The second leg is a love for My Holy Mass which is your greatest prayer. My sacraments are your life blood of grace that you receive in Holy Communion and Reconciliation most often. The other sacraments you receive only once, but they also instill grace into your lives. Faith is a gift granted by Me so you can put aside all earthly distractions and give your will over to Me, so you can believe and follow what is taught in the Scriptures. Hope and love are virtues that point you to heaven and inspire you to love Me and your neighbor as yourself. St. Paul told you that you could have everything, but if you did not have love, then you would be just like a clanging cymbal. I am love, and My Commandments are all about love of God and love of neighbor. See all of these legs as the foundation that holds up your soul and leads you to Me in eternal life in heaven.”
