I send my greetings to all of God’s children. I speak today particularly to those who are Catholics but who are living away from their faith. You are invited by heaven to return to your faith. Heaven, God and all of the saints, urges you to consider returning to the sacraments. If you have been away from the Church for some time, you may want to have your Confession heard. This is a good place to start. Talk to a priest about this because graces are waiting for you in this sacrament. With these graces you can examine your life and determine how to proceed on a new path, a path that leads back to Jesus through the Church.
You may reject this concept. You may reject the Church as the best route to Jesus Christ. My friend, that is your choice but do not be confused. We are trying to protect you. The words and graces in this work are a gift to you, personally. If you choose not to accept this gift, that is your decision. I want you to accept the gift of these graces because with them you will find greater peace. Jesus loves you. You know this. God accepts you. You must believe this.
If you do not return to God’s Church on earth, you will still be loved and accepted, given the proper spirit of repentance in your soul. We want more for you, though, and we need more from you.
If you return to the Church, we can restore you to unity with the Communion of Saints working for the salvation of many at this time. You will be drawn into the mission of renewal and this benefits you and all of those people around you. I ask you to do something for me. Come to a church and sit in silence in front of the tabernacle. Jesus is there. Sit in silence and ask Jesus what He wants you to do. Do not be angry at Jesus for the sins of mankind. Do not blame Jesus for the mistakes of mankind. Jesus is trying to help you. You belong in His Church and His Church needs you. Bring any anger to Jesus and explain to Him what happened to make you feel that you should walk away from your Church.
Perhaps you have simply drifted. Please, drift
back now. Come and sit with Jesus and talk to
Him about your life. What are your worries?
What are your joys? Tell Jesus about these
things. Share these things with Jesus. You will
find a welcome, I assure you. Jesus welcomes you and your family welcomes you. You belong
in this Church and your home is in this Church.
We will all help you.
