Thursday, November 24, 2016: (Thanksgiving Day)
Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is about the ten lepers, who were healed. This is a sign of how many people forget to thank Me for all the healings and gifts that I give to them. Only one Samaritan returned to give Me thanks for his healing of leprosy. I asked him where were the other nine, but I blessed the Samaritan, and I told him his faith had saved him. Many people are praying prayers of petition, but when their prayers are answered, they need to remember their prayers of thanksgiving. In many ways I allow good things to happen for you that you did not even ask for. You also should be thanking Me for all of My gifts, even the ones you did not realize, as your existence, the air you breathe, the sun on everything, and even the rain that comes. It is good that you celebrate such a feast, because it gives you a chance to ponder all the things that I do for everyone. Give praise and thanks to Me for your gifts and talents to survive both physically and spiritually.”
Jesus said: “My son, when you help people, you feel good, even if you do not get much thanks. I help a lot of people, and I do not get much gratitude either. You really are helping people more because you love them, and not just to receive a thank you. So keep up your prayers for souls, and doing what you can to spread My messages. You can share your donations of money, and you can share your faith and love of Me. You appreciate My love and help, and you want other souls to have the same experience. When you help souls by evangelizing and praying for the souls in purgatory, you are helping them, and storing up treasure in heaven for yourself.”
