Jesus said: “My people, in My parables to the people, I did not always give explanations that I gave to My apostles. Not all of My parables were self-evident, but the people could still see the love of God and the desire for repentance for sin. In today’s parable about the Sower, the seed represents the ‘Word of God’ and how different people receive it. The seed that fell on the rocks are those who hear My Word and rejoice for awhile, but they soon forget because they have no roots of faith. The seed that fell among the thorns are those who hear the Word but their faith is choked off by the attractions of the world and the desires of the flesh. It is the seed that fell on good soil that yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold. Even when the Word has roots in faith, it still needs to be constantly nourished with the graces of My sacraments. My faithful also need to put My Word into their actions so they can help people, both in their physical needs and in evangelizing souls. If My Word does not grow in your hearts to share your love with Me and your neighbor, then you are not making My Word a part of your very life. You need to be One with Me to gain heaven.”
Jesus said: “My son, you are seeing a need to update your DVD that explains your mission of preparing the people for the coming tribulation. Your first thought is to pray your St. Therese novena to protect you from the evil ones who may attack your DVD efforts. You have already compared your notes from the first two talks, and you have made an outline for your third DVD. Once you fill in the appropriate messages and type it out, then you should try and practice your talk to try and fit it into two one hour DVDs. By going through it a few times, you can see what is important to focus on to keep within your time constraints. You could use a few articles to highlight some points of interest. By using Scripture, My messages, and things in the news, you can give people a big picture of all that is going on in your world today.”
