Thursday, August 12, 2010: (St. Jane Frances de Chantal)
Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is a hard example to explain forgiveness from the heart. Man in his pride finds it hard to forgive people who have wronged him in any way. Even some harbor grudges for years over simple offenses. Yet when you come to Me, you expect Me to forgive you instantly and forever with little consequence. It is My own sacrifice of My life that frees you from your sins, but you need to admit that you are a sinner, and confess your sins to be forgiven. I am always ready to forgive you unconditionally. This is why I told St. Peter that he needed to forgive his neighbor seventy-seven times, meaning all the time, if you want to imitate My example. I am like the Master who forgave the whole debt, and you must do likewise in forgiving the debts of your neighbor, even though your debt to Me is much larger than your neighbor’s debt. Think also if you wanted a small debt forgiven when you beg forgiveness of someone. Just as you expect to be forgiven by another person, so you should be willing to forgive your neighbor. Be kind and merciful to others as I treat you. This is the same meaning when you pray the ‘Our Father’ prayer: ‘Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.’”
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, this vision of a fast moving device coming to an abrupt stop, is a sign of what it will be like when you come to Me in an out of body experience. There are two kinds of jolts that you will experience. The first is that all worldly noises will cease, and you will be hearing the peaceful and loving music of heaven. The second jolt is that you will be thrust into a deeply spiritual realm that is totally focused on God and away from any material or earthly things. Then when people visit their life reviews, they will see that prayers and good works are worth more than any earthly endeavors centered on self and worldly things. Recognize that it is your soul’s goal to be with Me forever, but you must battle your bodily desires every day.”
Jesus said: “My people, looking at the beautiful scenes of nature, as the falls in this vision, can settle down your restless spirit. The body seeks to be busy with many things, but it is not always centered on doing things for My glory. The soul sees the value of a holy and prayerful life, and the need to seek Me in everything. The body loves to take pride in its works without giving glory to Me. The soul wishes to give all the glory of its deeds over to Me. Strive to keep Me at the center of all of your activities, and give thanks and glory to Me at all times.”
Jesus said: “My son, I have given you visions of how beautiful it is in heaven with all the saints and angels constantly singing My praises. You will be consumed in My love as you become so close to Me that your soul will seem like it is one with Me. When you receive Me in Holy Communion and you seek Me in contemplative prayer, you will seem as if you are having a taste of heaven, and how you will be worshiping Me constantly. Adoration and being close to My Eucharist will be a preparation for how you will be living in heaven. Love of Me will far surpass any love for anything else.”
Jesus said: “My people, the time, that you have on earth, is but a short walk in time, and you will be facing your death on earth. Some spend their short lives in fruitful abundance for their souls and the souls that they brought to faith on earth. I have given you all spiritual missions for your life on earth, but you must open your heart to Me, and give your will over to Me so I can lead you in your mission. Those, who reject Me and want to run their own lives, are not letting Me use their talents for My purpose. I do not violate your free will choice, but there are consequences in hell and lower purgatory for those who refuse to accept Me into their lives. The Warning may be the last chance to save these souls who are lost in themselves.”
Jesus said: “My people, I formed My Church with St. Peter as its head in the first pope. With My Church you have the deposit of faith in My Word and My sacraments. My Church interprets My words for My faithful to follow. My Church is protected from the gates of hell, and you can find your way at My Mass and My sacraments. Many doctors of My Church have given you the way to follow Me to heaven in leading a good Christian life. It is up to My followers to let My Church guide them with My Word and its explanation. When you hold fast to My Church’s teaching authority, you will be focused on My Presence in My Church.”
Jesus said: “My people, you have been given great role models in following My life and the holy lives of the saints. My saints did not focus on needing creature comforts, but they did great mortifications of the body in fasting and offered up their sufferings to Me. In doing good works to help people in body and soul, they were raising up treasure in heaven. Saving souls and living holy lives were their callings, and they are great examples for you to follow. Rejoice in whatever little things that you can do for Me each day. Offer up all of your actions to Me for My greater glory.”
Jesus said: “My people, while your soul is attached to its body, it is very difficult to keep its focus on Me because of the many earthly distractions that you face each day. As you realize death is approaching, you need to make sure that your soul is pure by frequent Confession. Seek to be with Me forever in heaven, because it is your soul’s eternal destination that is most important in this life. Once you are free of the body, you will see a new release in your spiritual awareness of Me. Some souls have been graced with My peace while they are still in the body. You seek to be released from your sins, but you will seek an even greater release to freedom from the constraints of the body. I love all of My people, and I work to save every soul possible for My Kingdom.”
