Jesus said: “My people, the Bible has many lessons in leading a good Christian life, but unless you open it and read it, you will never appreciate the context of the readings at Mass. The first reading is the account of Jonah and how he was trying to run away from the mission that I called him to share. I asked Jonah to tell the people of Nineveh to change their evil ways, or in forty days I would destroy the city. Jonah tried to get away and he was thrown off a ship in a violent storm, swallowed up by a large fish, and spewed on the shore. It is better to accept My mission than to reject it, just to do your own will. The second reading is about the Good Samaritan, and it showed up the Jews for all of their human traditions that did not help their neighbor. The man who was beaten and left for dead was a scene that was crying out to people by looking at his condition. But the priest and the Levite did nothing to help him. I made the Samaritan foreigner the good neighbor who helped the man beaten by robbers. Even if you may be inconvenienced to help someone in immediate need, it is the proper thing to assist that person, especially if they are threatened with being close to death. Put aside your traditions to reach out of your comfort zone in order to help your neighbor in need.”
Jesus said: “My people, I have told you many times that you are dealing with a battle between good and evil, and the prizes are souls. On the one side you have My faithful helped by Me and the good angels. On the other side you have pro-death people who are being helped by Satan and the demons. You are always battling the evil one’s temptations, but you must remain strong in My grace to follow My Commandments. My faithful must not be afraid to speak out in the defense of the unborn, defense against euthanasia, defense of proper marriage, and against the social injustices of the one world people who are trying to control you. As this evil gets worse, you will see more open persecution of those who believe in Me. Once this evil starts to threaten your life or your job, you need to call on My help because it will be close to the time to leave for My refuges. Once I give you the word to leave, do not hesitate or you could be risking martyrdom in a death camp. So trust in Me that I will be working with you in this battle. You are constantly in a battle between good and evil, even if you do not see it spiritually.”
