Thursday, June 27, 2013: (St. Cyril of Alexandria)
Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel (Matt. 8:24-27) is appropriate for what is going on in America right now with your recent Supreme Court decisions. I told the people of My time that those, who hear My words of love and act on them, will be like a man who built his house on a rock foundation. So when the wind and storms buffeted his house, it remained firm together. On the other hand, those who do not accept My words and do not act on them, will be like a man who built his house on sand. Then when the wind and rain came against this house, it was swept away in a flood and ruined. This physical foundation of a house is compared to your spiritual foundation for your life in following My Commandments. If you believe in My words and act on them, then your soul’s life will be built on a solid foundation of faith. Then when you are tested with life’s trials, you can call on Me to help you with My grace to overcome all the evils that will tempt you. With Me, you are strong, but without Me, you are lost. Those souls, who do not have a foundation in accepting Me, will have to endure life’s trials without My grace and help. These souls will be sifted by the demons, and they will be swept away into all the addictions and allurements of earthly things. Keep close to Me in My sacraments, and follow My Commandments in your actions, and you will be on the right path to heaven.”
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, many young children in baseball or football have certain players as their idols to follow. The professional players are held accountable for their actions whether they violate criminal laws or enhancing drug rules. Those, who violate such laws and rules, are giving bad example to young aspiring players. Those, who are bringing these violators to justice, are carrying out the law, and they should be commended.”
Jesus said: “My people, you have seen the statistics, and your coal plants provide 40% of your total energy supply which is even higher than natural gas or nuclear power. Many countries as China, Russia, and India are using coal to supply their power needs. It is hard to demand coal plants in America to shut down while other countries are burning coal. Cutting back immediately would cause a lot of lost jobs. Your energy plans for your whole country should be voted on in your Congress rather than have it come from a bureaucratic EPA agency. Pray that some compromise can be reached.”
Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing North Korea and Iran developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver such weapons. With more threats coming against America, it is foolish to reduce the weapons that you may need to defend yourself. Some reductions in troops are because of the sequester cuts, but your troop levels should not be decreasing with many threats in some rogue countries. There should be some Congressional oversight on these major changes in nuclear bomb levels and your troop levels. It is your strength that will reduce any chance of war, and not your weak military. I am not advocating wars, but every nation is entitled to its self-defense.”
Jesus said: “My people of America, your Federal Reserve has been inflating your money supply by buying $85 billion/month of Treasury long term bonds. They have been holding interest rates near zero which has affected the incomes of savers and older people who rely on this interest for income. Once there was a plan to start reducing these purchases, the bond prices dropped with higher interest rates. This changing of the money supply could cause markets to fluctuate until this unneeded stimulus is removed. Pray that these financial leaders do not precipitate another crash which could cause a martial law.”
Jesus said: “My people, the Supreme Court has confused the result of their current decisions. It is the benefits and insurances that are more of an incentive to have same sex marriage for a few people. The moral decision is not even being considered. It is more about politics and benefits that are the goals. The more your states deny My Commandments, the more of My justice that you are calling down on your country.”
Jesus said: “My people, some people who do not want this Health Plan forced on them, are considering paying the penalty instead of a high premium. Financing all of this new insurance is a very difficult task if there are not enough people who support it with high premiums. It is hard to ask the taxpayer to sign a blank check to support any losses. Pray that some compromises can be reached to help give people health coverage at a reasonable cost.”
Jesus said: “My people, each of your pictures are representing various needs. Your original picture of the Eternal Father over Jesus on Mt. Tabor was made to honor your prayer group’s name about My heavenly Father. The second picture of the Divine Mercy gives you extra graces for praying in front of this image as mentioned by St. Faustina. The third picture was a request by My Blessed Mother to honor her picture of sorrow because of the many abortions being committed all over the world. This picture was given to Christina Gallagher to be placed in the homes for our Blessed Mother’s protection. Even if it is difficult to display them every week, your prayer group will gain many graces from displaying them during your prayer hour.”
