The holy duties that priests must fulfill must be done with dignity and apostolic zeal. They must carry out their ministry in such a way that they do not cause scandal among My faithful Christians, because woe to those who cause scandal! It would be better for them if they had never been born.
There are many priests who are negligent and cold in their ministry, and not even the bishops can correct them. They are losing their faith every day, and this lack of faith is evident in the way they celebrate, dress, preach, and administer the sacraments. They are thorns in My Heart because I want to give them My graces, but they do not take advantage of them because they have completely abandoned prayer, sacrifice, and sacred readings. They have become so worldly that they think, see, and feel like the people of the world, and many things about Holy Mother Church repulse them, such as celibacy or the breviary.
My children, my faithful flock, you must pray for these priests as for nothing else. Intense prayers, sacrifices, Eucharists, because their salvation hangs by a very fine thread and they will be fodder for hell if you, My faithful and those of My Holy Mother, do not pray intensely for them. They are once again a sword in the Heart of My Mother, who suffers when she sees the way they celebrate and how they treat Me in the Eucharist.
My children, pray to Saint Joseph for them and strive for their salvation, because the hell of a priest is very harsh, not only because of the sins they committed, but also because of the immense good they failed to do and the souls that were not saved due to their negligence in their ministry. There are many, many who live this way. Little by little, they granted themselves certain freedoms, little by little they abandoned prayer, the sacraments, confession, and little by little, without realizing it, they are at the gates of total apostasy. I, Jesus, the Eternal Priest, speak to you.
My children, I ask you again, create chains of prayer for them, help them not to lose their faith with your love and mercy. Whoever helps a priest does immense good, because (the priest) is a shepherd of other souls. So, My children, feed these sinful souls who should be holy and exemplary and are a scandal to many of you. Feed them with your prayers and sacrifices. Water their dry and stunted souls with your prayers and love for them. I, Jesus, your Redeemer, will take this into account and bless you abundantly for everything you do for priests. Be generous and offer yourselves as victims for them. My Mother will thank you for it. I, Jesus, your Savior, speak to you. My peace to all who believe these writings and put them into practice.
