Jesus said: “My people, in today’s first reading, Elijah is speaking to Ahab about how the Lord is going to bring justice against him and his wife, Jezebel, for killing Naboth. Then Ahab repented of his sin in sackcloth, and I took back My punishment on him until his son would have to suffer. This mercy of Mine is similar when I pardoned King David when he had Uriah the Hitite killed to have his wife. Nathan the prophet, also was instructed to tell King David that evil will come against him for his crime. King David also repented of his sin, and My mercy spared his punishment until his son would suffer. There are many people who have sinned against Me in different ways, but I am merciful to a repentant sinner. I forgive your sins in Confession, and I ease the burden of My punishment when sinners repent like Ahab and King David. But those sinners, who do not repent, and do not seek My forgiveness, will pay a high price for their sins. I know the weaknesses of man, and I wait patiently for sinners to return to My love, like the father of the Prodigal Son. I love all of you despite your sins, but you need to learn from your mistakes, and change your sinful lives into holy lives by My grace. In the Gospel you need to love Me and your neighbor. This includes loving your enemies or those people who you dislike. In loving everyone, you are on the road to seeking the perfection that all of you need to have in order to come into heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, the one world people are trying to win another media support for battling the terrorists who are taking over Iraq without much of a fight by the Iraqi government. You are hearing drumbeats for troops on the ground and air attacks from many sources. Your people have a short memory when the same media encouraged war on Iraq some years ago. Do not be taken in by the one world people who are instigating no-win wars that could involve losses of American troops again. If the Iraqi government does not want to fight these terrorists, another war would repeat the same mistakes of the past. Pray for peace in this area.”
