(St. Sharbel Makhluf)

Jesus said: “My people, fresh water is one of your body’s necessities, and it is not always available to everyone. People in arid areas depend on wells, while others use rain water, or bodies of fresh water in lakes or rivers. The Scriptures mention ‘Living Water’ as I explained to the woman at the well. I told her that I could give her ‘Living Water’ in Myself so she would not have to keep coming to the well. But I was speaking of her spiritual thirst and not her physical needs. When you come to receive Me in Holy Communion, you receive My ‘Living Water’ that feeds your soul and satisfies your desire to have My grace in your soul. I know you have the symbol of water in Baptism which is a sign of cleansing of sin, but the ‘Living Water’ that I am referring to is My very Self in Holy Communion. I have told you many times that he, who eats My Body and drinks My Blood, will have eternal life. It is the grace of My sacrament that gives you spiritual life, and without this grace, your soul is dead as in mortal sin. Just as water is necessary for your physical life, so My grace is needed for your spiritual life. Rejoice in receiving My ‘Living Water’ as often as you can, and you will be close to Me throughout this life and the next life.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, at the time to leave for your refuges I am reminding those who have monstrances to bring them, so you can have perpetual Adoration at both the refuges and the interim refuges. By having My monstrance and Host present, I will be protecting you from the evil ones. You will have plenty of time for prayer and worship of My Blessed Sacrament, so you can assign someone to pray all the hours of the day and night. The evil ones fear My Presence, so this will be a great help to you.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have had your first hurricane hit your country and you have most of the hurricane season to come. Pray for the people who will have to endure these natural disasters. You see how quickly these events happen, even as you have been seeing flooding in various parts of your country. These disasters will continue to bring you to your knees along with all of the other crises that you are enduring. Only when you repent of your sins will your weather return to normal. Continue to pray much for the conversion of sinners, as much prayer is needed in this time.”

Jesus said: “My people, at times in the hospital patients will require a lifeline of food nutrients because they cannot swallow normally. If this line is broken, then it must be restored for that person to survive. There is another lifeline to your spiritual life, and that is your frequent reception of Me in Holy Communion. This steady line of My graces, will feed you and keep your spiritual body alive. Give thanks to Me how I feed both your body and your soul.”

Jesus said: “My son, I have asked you to make these two sessions of quiet time in front of My Blessed Sacrament to witness to My desire for contemplative prayer in your lives. By looking at My consecrated Host, you can bring Me into your hearts and souls to enjoy My peace and love. Thank you again for making this DVD on Adoration so My devotion can be shared with people all over the world.”

Jesus said: “My people, at every Mass and every time of Adoration, My angels are constantly around My consecrated Hosts, and they are giving Me praise and worship. So every time, that you start a new place of Adoration, there are more angels who come to the earth to worship Me. The more angels on earth will be more protection for you as you come into the tribulation time.”

Jesus said: “My people, think of all the places of refuge and interim refuges that are being set up for My faithful. When you realize that each of these places will be places of perpetual Adoration, now you know how My power and My angels are going to be so powerful in eventually overcoming the power of the evil ones. My power is much stronger than all of the demons put together, so be patient and have no fear, because this evil age will be brief before My victory will come.”

Jesus said: “My people, remember every time, that you come to visit My tabernacle and pray before Me in Adoration, to spend a few minutes in contemplative prayer of quiet time. This is a special time for each soul to share in My love. You should be grateful for every moment that you can share with Me in Adoration. As you pray with Me in this quiet time, imagine all of the saints and angels all around you that are giving Me praise and glory as well. This time of Adoration is actually preparing you for how much you will be praising and singing to Me in person in heaven.”
