John Leary. September 4, 2023:
(Labor Day, Carol’s birthday)
Jesus
said: “My people, in My hometown of Nazareth I was in the synagogue and I read
the scroll of Isaiah where he spoke of healing the sick, releasing the
prisoners, and helping the poor. I told the people of Nazareth that today this
reading is fulfilled in your hearing. This was the beginning of My public
ministry, but the people did not know where I gained such knowledge and power
to heal. I told them of the widow, who was a Gentile, and Elijah multiplied her
oil and flour for a year in a famine. Then I told them how Elisha healed the
military leader from leprosy, who was another Gentile. I was telling the people
My mission is for everybody both Jews and Gentiles alike. I told them I could
not heal them because they did not have faith that I could heal them. Because I
infuriated them, they wanted to kill Me by throwing Me over a cliff. But I
walked through their midst because it was not My time to die. Trust in My
healing power and I could heal you, and help you with strength to accomplish
your mission.”
Jesus
said: “My people, I am always knocking on the door of your heart, but I need to
wait for you to open the door from the inside. This means you need to invite Me
into your lives, and it is by your free will choice that you are allowing Me to
be at the center of your life. If you truly love Me and you sincerely believe
in My Word, then you must follow My Commandments and seek the forgiveness of
your sins in frequent Confession. It is by your good works that I will know
your faith in Me is sincere. So trust in Me every day to lead you closer to Me
in heaven.”
