Jesus said: “My people, in the readings you saw how the just ones had to suffer for being righteous and following God’s law against the worldly pleasures. The world loves its sins of avarice, abortion, and prostitution, and those who preach against these sins are persecuted for My Name’s sake. This vision of the pillar for My scourging is the Hour of My suffering when the authorities of My time could not stand that I was saying that I was the Son of Man sent by My Father in heaven. They rejected Me as a blasphemer and had Me crucified because they could not believe My works, My words, or My miracles, nor that I was God’s Son. I used their ignorance of My mission so I could die for all of mankind’s sins. But all just and righteous people, who follow My ways, can expect the same treatment for living according to My laws and evangelizing souls.”
