Saturday, September 21, 2024: (St. Matthew)
Jesus said: “My people, I called Levi to follow Me and he was a tax collector at his post. He was later called Matthew, and he wrote the first Gospel in the Bible. That night I ate with Matthew and his fellow tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees questioned Me why I ate with tax collectors and sinners, but I told them that sick people need a physician. I also told them that I came to call sinners and not the self-righteous. I call all of My faithful to ‘Follow Me’ and obey My Commandments. I forgive sinners of their sins in Confession, so keep your souls clean by confessing your sins at least once a month so you are always ready for your death.”

Jesus said: “My son, I have given you seven sacraments as a source of grace. Several of them use chrism oil. Many of you are baptized as infants. You can receive Confession and Holy Communion at around seven years old. You usually receive your Confirmation when you are in eighth grade at about thirteen years old. You and your wife received Matrimony fifty-nine years ago when you were twenty-two years old. Now just recently you had Father Michel give you and your wife the Sacrament of the Sick. All of My sacraments have helped you through life, especially daily Holy Communion and monthly Confession. You are fortunate to be able to attend daily Mass and daily Adoration. During the Covid time My churches were closed and you had to get the daily TV Mass on the internet. Be prepared because you may see My churches closed again.”
