Jesus said: “My people, My apostles and disciples like St. Paul and Barnabas were given the grace to heal people as the lame person in the first reading. This gift of healing was not meant to give glory to the healing person, but to give glory to Me as the true instrument of healing the lame person. You continue to read about My love for My people in the Gospel of St. John. I love everyone, even your enemies, and I call on you to imitate My love. You need to call on My love to help you to love as I do. I know it is difficult for you to love everyone, so reach out to everyone with My love and preach My Good News of My Resurrection to all those people who listen to your words.”

Jesus said: “My son, whenever you see someone in need, your first thought should be to reach out in love to help them. When you do help that person, you are doing something out of love for Me in them. You saw your neighbor who did not have her grass cut at all this season, and you were at first reluctant to help your neighbor. You were using your weed cutter and you were prompted to cut down the high grass in the backyard. It was difficult to cut the tall grass down, but I thank you for doing a good deed for your neighbor without being asked.”
