Jesus said: “My people, in this world you have many distractions with music, watching TV, and your electronic devices. You are racing through life without taking time to get to know your Creator. My faithful know how important daily Mass, daily prayer, and monthly Confession are to your spiritual life. At times you need to be quiet and turn off all of your worldly distractions. It is in your quiet moments when I can talk to your heart, if you are listening. I have asked you to pray for sinners, the souls in purgatory, and for the souls in your family who are away from Me. Your prayer life can settle the peace in your soul that I give you. I love all of My people, but there are many souls who do not take the time each day to love Me, and seek My help in their trials. Without Me in your lives, you will be struggling twice as hard in your trials. When you take up the cross that I will give you, I will be like Simon helping you to lighten your load. When you trust in Me for everything, I will see to all of your needs. So slow down your life’s tempo, and take some quiet time each day so you can know Me better. Those faithful, who let Me lead their lives, will accomplish more, and you will be on the right road to heaven.”
(Our Lady of Fatima) Jesus said: “My people, your priest gave a good homily in explaining what a mortal sin is. It is unusual to hear a homily on sin, especially one that explains the seriousness of a mortal sin. Mortal sin is a serious sin, as with many sexual sins, but also it can be a serious denial of Me in public as St. Peter, when he denied Me three times. Mortal sin breaks your connection of love with Me, and your soul is dead spiritually. When you commit such a serious sin, this requires being forgiven in Confession before you can receive Me in Holy Communion. Otherwise, when you receive Holy Communion in mortal sin, you commit another sin of sacrilege against My Eucharist. There are many people who are in denial, or they do not think they are committing a mortal sin by having relations without marriage. The same is true of homosexual acts as well. This is why it is important for every Christian to have a properly formed conscience so they truly know when they are committing a serious sin as a mortal sin. Some people rationalize that living in fornication is not a serious sin because they are in love. This is still a mortal sin. To have relations properly, a couple needs to be married in My Church. Once you know what is a serious sin, you need to avoid such a sin or the occasion that could lead to a serious sin. By living in My grace with frequent Confession, you can come closer to Me, and your life could be a good example to other people around you. I will always forgive a repentant sinner, but those people, who commit serious sins without repenting, are on a path to My judgment to hell. If you truly love Me, you will keep a pure soul so I can take you to heaven one day.”
