Thursday, May 9, 2024: (Ascension Thursday)
Jesus said: “My people, My apostles were happy to be with Me during the forty days after My Resurrection. I appeared to them about four times. I told My apostles to stay in Jerusalem because I would send the Holy Spirit upon them, as you celebrate Pentecost. I sent My apostles out: (Mk 16:15,16) ‘Go out into the whole world and preach the Gospel to every person. He who believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be condemned.’ I rose into heaven before them without any more appearances.’”
Prayer Group:
(52nd anniversary of prayer group) Jesus said: “My people, today is a holy day of obligation as you are celebrating My Ascension into heaven. This was My last appearance in the flesh with My apostles. Now they were waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit when they had tongues of fire over each person in the Upper Room. This gave My disciples the gifts they needed to go out and spread My Good News to everyone. Rejoice that My faithful have also received the gifts of the Holy Spirit at your Confirmation.”
Jesus said: “My people, each year at this time I encourage you to print out the Novena prayers to honor the Holy Spirit. Each day you can recite these prayers. You have many Sundays after Pentecost so Pentecost is a large feast. Your Easter Season also ends with Pentecost. You gain extra graces for praying this Novena to the Holy Spirit.”
Jesus said: “My people, St. Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles with many inputs from all of the disciples. This fifty days of the Easter Season is a glorious time even as you see nature come forth with spring flowers and flowering trees. You all are happy to get out and fix up your gardens with flowers and mulch. See this season as an inspiration to evangelize souls so they can be baptized. You especially want to bring your children to My sacraments: Baptism, Confession, Holy Communion, and Confirmation. The children are under your care to be taught the faith as you are responsible for their souls.”
Jesus said: “My people, it is not easy to come to Confession because it means you need to repent of your sins and reveal them to the priest in the confessional. You need to meditate what sins you have committed since your last Confession. You need to be sorry and repent for having sinned against My Ten Commandments. The priest will absolve your sins and give you a penance. Then you pray your act of Contrition. Coming to Confession is a humbling experience, but you need to come to Confession at least once a month. There are a fair number of people who do not come to Confession, but it is needed to forgive your venial and mortal sins.”
Jesus said: “My people, I know you crown My Blessed Mother’s statues every year. You also need to honor her and Me with your rosaries for your special intentions. Remember to pray for your own mothers whether they are alive or deceased. You are fortunate to see two of your grandchildren who are pregnant and expecting new life to join their families. Many of you give gifts to your mothers and even take them out to dinner. Give praise and thanks to Me that you can be a part of My creation in having children. Give thanks to your mother for your life and bringing you up.”
Jesus said: “My people, I know you include praying to stop abortion in your daily rosaries. It is so sad that some mothers want to abort their very own children. Not all women are able to have children, so it is such a denial of life when women abort their children. I thank all of My faithful who take time to pray your rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy by the Planned Parenthood building on Saturday morning. Your presence there can help save some babies who would have been aborted. Keep praying for your states to limit the number of abortions.”
Jesus said: “My son, you have seen a place in Washington, D.C. where they stored all the shoes of the people who were killed in the gas chambers by Hitler. There was great evil that Hitler did to try and remove the millions of Jews from German society. People said this should not happen again, but now millions of the unborn babies are being killed every day. This movement for abortion has its roots in eugenics in Germany with Hitler’s plan. Work and pray to stop abortion which is destroying My precious and innocent children.”
