Monday, June 9, 2014: (St. Ephrem)

Jesus said: “My people, in your own diocese you see very few young priest, but you have older and retired priests. You need to pray for your priests, and for new vocations to the priesthood. When you have people praying for vocations, and you have places of Adoration, you will see more vocations. This is the fertile ground for young men to hear My call to the priesthood. When you see young men considering the priesthood, give them encouragement and help them in their calling. Your new priests will be needed, even in the coming tribulation. In the Bible you have seen how many of the prophets were persecuted and even killed. All of My people from Baptism are called to be priests, prophets, and kings. My prophets help to lead My people to Me throughout the ages. So pray for your prophets also who have a heavy responsibility to carry on the faith. You will see more and more persecution coming for those who believe in Me, and those who stand up for right morals in a society of immorality. You will see criticism from the schismatic church and from your government officials. Eventually, this persecution will endanger your lives and souls, so you will need to come to the safety of My refuges. Trust in My help to provide for your needs and your protection.”

Jesus said: “My people, as you see the daylight turn slowly to darkness, this is a sign of the coming darkness of evil in the tribulation. You can see the increase of evil go from killing babies in abortion to allowing homosexual marriages, and now transgender people want their rights, as well as non-medical marijuana being accepted. Each succeeding evil will tear down the morals of your people. The demons are being allowed to tempt man into more unusual things that were not acceptable, even several years ago. The faith of the people is slowly falling away from Me because many are not keeping up a good prayer life. If you do not make some time for Me each day, then it is hard to know if you truly love Me. Even if you come to Mass on Sunday, this is only one hour a week. If you truly love someone, then you would tell that person of your love more than once a week. I should be the first love of your life, even before your spouse and your family. Every day tell Me of your troubles and prayer intentions, and I will guide you to any solution of your problems. Ask Me in prayer, and I will answer your request in whatever way is best for your soul and others around you.”
