Sunday, November 18, 2018:
Jesus said: “My people, one of the end time signs is a decline in the number of faithful people who are coming to Sunday Mass. The faith is getting weak, and the parents are not encouraging their children enough to follow their good example. My older faithful are dying off, and they are not being replaced by young people who have a strong faith. When you look at the demographics of the Roman Catholic Churches, you are seeing a higher average age and the youth numbers are declining as well. The decreasing numbers at Sunday Mass is a sign of a declining number of faithful in general who are falling away from their original strong beliefs. This decline in numbers is also causing a decline in the money collected, which will result in a decreased budget to help the spiritual life of the parish. You need to encourage more youth to be strong in their faith, so less people will stop coming to Sunday Mass. To have a vibrant parish you need more new members and less people leaving. Bible study groups can help improve the faith of the people, but the people must have a desire to increase their faith. Call on Me in prayer to help increase your numbers.”
