Friday, July 3, 2020: (St. Thomas, our 55th Wedding Anniversary)

Jesus said: “My son, this is a special day for you and your wife, as you are celebrating your 55th Wedding Anniversary. You had a vision of when you were at Cana, Israel, and you saw the huge stone jars that held 30 gallons of water, when I turned six such jars of water into wine. I use this image of a wedding to describe how My Church is the Bride and I am the Groom. I also use the Wedding Banquet to describe how I invite My faithful guests to be with Me in heaven. Marriage in the Church is how I desire couples to come together in My sacrament of Matrimony. Love is who I AM, and I desire couples to be married, instead of living in the sin of fornication or adultery. Marriage is also the proper environment to have children, and bring them up in the faith with the sacraments of Baptism, Penance, Holy Communion, and Confirmation. The parents are the spiritual guardians of their children, in addition to their physical upbringing. Give praise and thanks to Me that I invite you to be a part of My creation of life.”

Jesus said: “My son, you have been married for 55 years and you know the secret is love and forgiveness all the time. When I am at the center of your life in your marriage, it is your daily prayers to Me that give you the grace to stay together. When you were married in the Church, you placed Me with both of you as a partner in your marriage. It is the sacramental bond of Matrimony that helps you every day to love Me, and for the both of you to love each other. Hold on to this love because it is precious in My eyes. You have a fruit of your marriage in three live children, and the two who died, one as a miscarriage, and one from when the lungs did not develop. Now, you have eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. You pray for the souls of your family to be saved every day. You walk with Me every day in your rosaries, your Masses, your Holy Communions, and your Adoration. When you love Me, you show it in your actions, and how you treat others. Because of all of your devotions to Me, I have blessed you in your mission to share My messages, and your mission to prepare a refuge. You and your wife work well together in sharing My Word with My people. Your prayer group is another way that I share My graces on all of them for staying together in faith. By loving each other and forgiving each other, you can have many happy years together and with Me.”
