Monday, June 27, 2011: (St. Cyril of Alexandria)
Jesus said: “My people, Abraham found out that the Lord was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, so he tried to bargain with God to save these people. He started with fifty just men and then came down to ten just men that if they were found, the Lord would not destroy these towns. Only Lot and his family of eight were found just, but not ten, so these towns were destroyed with fire and brimstone. Tradition in history has put this place near the Dead Sea where it is barren with traces of sulfur. These people were destroyed by the justice of God because of the evil of their sins that cried out for punishment. I have mentioned before how the same fate of My justice is being called for on America because of the cries of your abortions, killings in euthanasia and wars, and your sexual sins. Many of your natural disasters are a punishment for these sins. Pray for sinners in your country and for a stoppage of your abortions.”
Jesus said: “My people, you have been hearing a lot about legalizing homosexual marriage between two men or two women. These unions are very unnatural, as I only intended marriage between a man and a woman in order to procreate the human race. All sexual acts outside of the marriage bond are mortal sins. They include adultery, fornication, masturbation, and homosexual acts. Even among married partners, they are to avoid birth control devices because every act should be open to procreation. These sexual urges and pleasures were meant for carrying on the human race, but they require a control of the passions. Remember to obey My Sixth Commandment and do not have impure thoughts about others outside of the married partners. There are many abuses of the sexual sins, and many go to hell because of them. Guard your eyes and thoughts so you do not let the devil lead you into sin. Ask for My grace to help you when you are being tempted. By your prayers and controlling yourself, you can remain pure and chaste. If you do sin, you should go to Confession quickly because these are usually serious sins, and you do not want to risk dying in mortal sin.”
