Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel you have two people who went up to the Temple to pray. During Lent it is good to continue your daily prayers and your daily Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament. The Pharisee spoke to himself of his prayer life and all that he did. He was proud that he was not like the tax collector. The Pharisee did not go home with any real benefit of his visit. The tax collector was humble and he sought My mercy and forgiveness because he admitted that he was a sinner. He went home justified in seeking to be forgiven of his sins. You all are sinners, and you want to be with Me as I am merciful in forgiving all of your sins. I love you, and you can show your love for Me in your prayers and good deeds. Those people, who exalt themselves, will be humbled, but those people, who humble themselves, will be exalted.”

(4:00 p.m. Mass for Robert Cutt, Jr.) Jesus said: “My people, when I entered the Temple, I had a whip and I chased those market people out of the Temple for buying and selling animals. (Luke 19:46) ‘It is written My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.’ With that I turned over the tables of the money changers. The chief priests and the Scribes asked by what authority did I overturn the tables. I told them that I would tell them if they answered My question. I asked them was St. John the Baptist’s baptism from heaven or from men? They refused to answer, so I told them I would not give an answer to My authority either.”
