Public
“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”
“It is quite easy for My Priests, Bishops and even Cardinals to remain long years in Purgatory. They are given great responsibility in this world of leading the flock in the Faith. Some are no longer even Catholic. Their consciences become dull through self-love. They believe what is most advantageous to believe.”
“You were asking about the element of time in Purgatory. As you know, there is no time or space in Heaven. But that is Heaven. Purgatory and Hell are still caught in the realm of earthly time. Eternity in Hell is an eternity. In Purgatory the hundreds of years souls say they spend there are hundreds of years. The souls are bound there by time until they are released to Heaven.”
“These are some of the sins Priests, Bishops and Cardinals (even some Popes), suffer Purgatory for:”
“Sins of omission:”
“–not encouraging Adoration, the rosary and devotion to the saints, to their flock.”
“–not preaching against all sin, and especially abortion. It is their job to uncover darkness.”
“–not acknowledging the existence and activity of Satan–some do not even believe in him.”
“–not encouraging the sacrament of Reconciliation and extending the hours it is available.”
“–not preaching against sacrileges perpetrated against the Holy Eucharist.”
“–preaching against, acting against reported apparitions, even though they have never been investigated and offer many fruits.
They are, in many cases, making themselves the adversary of Heaven.”
“–not wearing priestly garb in public. They are not called to blend in with the general population, but to stand out so that sinners can seek them out.”
“A great sin of omission in the Church these days is the failure to deal with pedophilia as it should be dealt with. It is a grave sin. The perpetrators need to be relieved of their priestly duties, no matter their importance in the Church. To deny this truth is as serious as the sin of pedophilia itself.”
“Up until this time, I have spoken strictly about sins of omission. Here are other ways in which men fail Me in their religious vocations.”
“They put the focus on social justice instead of personal holiness. Personal holiness must be first. Social justice is a fruit of personal holiness. Some preach often on social justice but never virtues, holiness, prayer or the sacraments.”
“Those who have authority in the Church should lead as the Good Shepherd–not as one in control–but as one who loves. Souls are being lost every present moment because of these sins I have stated. The ones who do not slip to their perdition spend long years in Purgatory. Many, many add hundreds of years onto their Purgatory as they have not taken their duties to heart, and have consequently misled a multitude.”
“I know you fear making this public. You fear censure by the very ones I come to correct. But you must not hold back. To do so would greatly displease Me and may cost souls their salvation. Everyone, in humility, needs constructive criticism. This message is for those who stand to gain much. If they object to it, it is because they see themselves within these words. I give you Holy Boldness to release this publicly.”
