Saturday, August 24, 2013: (St. Bartholomew)
Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel, Nathaniel was questioning who I was at first, but once I spoke to him of where I saw him, he quickly changed to believing in Me. Many of My apostles were at first in doubt of My Resurrection as St. Thomas, but once I showed him My wounds, he believed. It is easier to believe in someone when they present you with miracles, but blessed are My faithful who have not seen Me in the flesh, and still they believe in Me. In the vision I am shining My Light of understanding down upon My people. When you are shown the way by My Light, and given My graces in My sacraments, then you will have all that is necessary to follow Me to heaven. Some people are blinded by the cares and attractions of this earthly life, but with My Light, you can see that you were created to be with Me in My heavenly life of the spirit. My people need to be enlightened with faith in Me in order to see their way to heaven. When you trust and believe in Me, I will see to all of your earthly and spiritual needs.”
Jesus said: “My son, I am well aware how you always wanted the newest computer, software, and add-on peripherals. When these things first came out, many people wanted to use these personal computers. Over time you were so taken up with your computer programming, that you became addicted to these things. There were many entrepreneurs who started up computer companies that made these products available. You were fortunate to come to My Blessed Mother’s apparitions in Medugorje, because it was there in My Blessed Sacrament chapel that you could hear Me telling you to stop your five hours of programming every day. You were alienating your family, and you were letting your pride of making computer programs control your life. Computers have their place in carrying out your daily work, but you have learned not to let anything have control over you, or your time. I need to be at the center of your life, and not your own personal desires. You need time for Me in your prayers, and you need to let Me lead you in doing the mission that I have given you. It is only when you said ‘yes’ to Me, that I could use you to fulfill your mission. You are here to know, love, and serve Me. You are also being called to share My messages of love, teaching, and warnings. When you love Me, you want to share that love with others, so their souls can be saved for heaven, and not lost in hell. Keep close to Me in your prayer life, and let Me continue to lead you on your mission. You are a good example of how re-conversions can break addictions to earthly things. Be ready to give up all of your possessions when you will be called to My refuges.”
