Thursday, March 3, 2022: (St. Katherine Drexel)

Jesus said: “My people, you are in the Lenten Season, and now you will be praying more and fasting to control your body’s appetites. Physically, fasting gives a rest to the body from taking food. Spiritually, fasting helps add discipline to your spiritual life in avoiding sin. When you can say no to food and the desires of the flesh, then this will give you more strength to say no to the temptations of sin. Moses offered his people to choose between life with God, or death with the devil and worship of other gods. So choose life with Me by denying yourself and detaching yourself from the things of this world that lead to sin. By taking up your cross and following Me this Lent, I will lead you to a holier life on the path to heaven. All of these Lenten practices you are following now in Lent, you can continue throughout the rest of the year. You acknowledge this fasting and prayer during Lent, but learn to live this way all of the time. Fasting is a powerful help both for the body and the soul. This is why you should fast more often. Trust in Me to lead you to follow a holy life just like the monks do in their monasteries.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing more bombing of the Ukrainian cities, and the Russian troops are encircling the cities to starve them out. A large force of Russian vehicles is near Kyiv. There is another target port in Odessa, and Russia is sending in a flotilla of ships to send in missiles or shells at this city. The Russians want to cut off any supplies coming in by sea. Pray for the Ukrainians who are suffering from this Russian invasion.”

Jesus said: “My people, I am happy that you were able to have another practice refuge run at Chuck’s house in Erie, Pa. You had sleeping bags for sleeping on the beds, and you had a fireplace with wood burning, and two kerosene burners operating for heat. You had two different kinds of soup and plenty of bread that you made in your CampChef ovens. In the morning you had scrambled eggs from your dried eggs can, and French toast with syrup for breakfast. You also had round the clock Adoration prayers. Everyone was pleased with Chuck’s planning for this overnight practice run. God bless all of your participating faithful for making this happen.”

Jesus said: “My people on Saturday, February 26, 2022 you were given another sign with shimmering lights on two of your chapel walls. You last saw this in 2017, and this time coincided with Russia invading the Ukraine. The first light came under the 12th Station of the Cross as a sign of suffering among the Ukrainian people. The second light formed into what looked like hosts, which is how I will bring daily Holy Communion to all of My refuges. You can share a few video clips to show your prayer group. Trust in Me for protecting My faithful.”

Jesus said: “My people, there is agreement among your people that you do not want to receive Russian oil that could support Russia in the war with the Ukraine. Biden is reluctant to do this because it would raise gas prices, even though you could buy oil from other places. Russia is likely to sell oil and natural gas to China to support Russia’s war. Biden has caused a need for foreign oil when he closed the Keystone Pipeline and stopped drilling on government lands. He cannot please the people against fossil fuels, and those who want lower gas prices. Biden may have to change his politics and actions, or his poll numbers will get worse. Pray for your people who are suffering from inflation and rising gas prices.”

Jesus said: “My people, many countries are complaining to Russia that they are violating laws that prohibit the killing of innocent civilians in this Ukraine war. There have been some talks between Russia and the Ukraine that will allow some corridors for civilians to escape to Poland and other countries. Keep praying to protect the civilians who do not have the means to escape to Poland. Pray also that less people will die from this war.”

Jesus said: “My people, I have warned you to have three months of food stored for the coming food shortages and possible power outages. Your supply chains are finding it difficult to get enough supplies to all of your stores. This is why you are seeing some empty shelves, and the war in the Ukraine could make this worse. You need to pray that this war does not spread further to other countries. If your lives are threatened by bombs or food shortages, I will call My faithful to the protection of My refuges.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are starting another Lenten Season with your prayers, fasting, and penances. You need to meditate on how to improve your spiritual lives, and how you could do some good deeds for your neighbors. Lent is a good time to think of how you could stop your habitual sins. You can come to frequent Confession to help clean your souls. You can come to the Stations of the Cross, especially on Friday as you do in your chapel. Offer up your penances, fasting, prayers, and almsgiving for your intentions to Me. Work on using this Lent to bring yourself closer to Me in love.”
