(Our Lady of Mt. Carmel)

Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel I called out woes to the towns where I performed most of My miracles. Corosin, Bethsaida, and Capharnum were all rebuked for not repenting of their sins, when I preached My words of salvation. I told them that the Kingdom of God is at hand, but they still did not repent of their sins. That is when I told them that they would go down into the nether world for not believing in My words. I told them that their judgment would be worse than Sodom. Now I am calling, ‘Woe to America’, for you have heard My words of My Gospel and you have still not repented. You were struck a blow on 9-11-01 in your Twin Towers and you did not repent, but you built another Freedom Tower in defiance of My judgment in Isaiah 9:10. Your country will be brought to its knees by natural disasters, and you will be taken over as a punishment for your abortions and sexual sins. Repent now for those people, who want to save their souls. I will protect My believers at My refuges.”

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel I am calling people to let Me be the center of their lives. When you help people, you are helping Me in them. Be willing to reach out and help people in need both financially and spiritually encourage their faith. By your good example you may be able to lead people to Me and away from bad lifestyles. I mentioned how in one way I was dividing families, but only how each member believes in Me or not. My believers are on a road to heaven, but those people, who reject My love and refuse to repent of their sins, are on a path to My justice in hell. Pray for sinners and your family that they could be converted to the faith and be saved. It is everyone’s free will to choose their eternal destination.”

Jesus said: “My people, you know in the Bible how it speaks of a time of tribulation under the Antichrist. I will allow him partial control of the world for less than three and one-half years. When this is allowed, I will warn My faithful to come to My refuges of protection. This will mean at some point America will be taken over by the one world people as your punishment for your abortions and sexual sins. This takeover could come in many possible ways. The first is an EMP attack from several nuclear bombs that would take out your electricity, vehicles, and microchips. Another takeover could be from a communist takeover of your government. Still others would involve a crash of your money or your stock market. You could have mandatory chips in your body, or a combination of natural disasters that could cause a famine. Even a pandemic virus could kill a lot of people. Have no fear because My faithful will be protected at My refuges, although some could die as martyrs from the evil ones. Trust in Me that I will have My angels defend you from the demons and evil people. The reign of evil will be brief before I will bring My destruction upon all the evil ones. Be patient during this purgatory of the tribulation, and you will have your reward in My Era of Peace, and later in heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, when I formed My Church, I founded it upon the rock of St. Peter and the gates of hell will not prevail against My Church. The faith in Me that you have been given, is your foundation built on rock. In today’s Gospel of the Good Samaritan, it is important to act out your faith with good deeds. The man asked Me who is My neighbor, so I gave this parable where the Samaritan helped a man who was beaten by robbers. He bandaged up his wounds and paid the innkeeper to take care of the man. The Jews disliked the Samaritans, but he was the kind neighbor in this parable. This was the neighbor to help the man in distress, and I told the one who questioned Me, to go and do likewise. When you see people in need, you are to reach out in love when you can help them. Your church is asking for your people to increase their donations, so people should help keep My Church supported as much as you can. Remember how I love a cheerful giver.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of your utilities of lights, water, and other phone lines are vulnerable to people hacking these systems. There are alleged stories from some intelligence sources that the blackout in New York City was caused by a malicious computer virus that someone entered into the electrical system. It was isolated and the lights were able to be returned to service. This story may not be released by your media, but it is very possible to confirm by your officials running your electric grid. Such viruses could be perpetrated by various rogue states like Iran. Your electric lines are vulnerable to more viruses or an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack by atomic bombs. Those people at My refuges, who have solar panels, will be protected by My refuge angels. If your country loses your electricity for a long time, there is a danger that many of your people could die of starvation. Many people do not have enough stored food to last a long time. My refuges have food and water that I will multiply for My believers. Trust in Me to warn you when it is time to come to My refuges.”

Jesus said: “My people, I see everything that happens around you, and I want to comfort all of My people so you do not fear the people around you. When you go out to speak, you meet some beautiful people, and you share My messages of love and warning with them. You have some criticism, but in general you are helping the people know and love Me. Be thankful that you have the opportunity to enrich the faith of the people you are speaking to. Continue to pray your St. Michael long form prayer for your protection coming and returning from your talks. You can also pray your St. Theresa Glory Bes for added protection as you approach the Warning and the tribulation. I love all of My people, and I thank those people who are making refuges.”

Jesus said: “My people, I just gave you a message that you would see one disaster after another. Your first hurricane to hit your country is flooding Louisiana, and the people could not go about their pleasures on this weekend. There is plenty of sin in this area which is why they have flooding and power outages. Another incident is a power outage on Manhattan, New York City that is causing a blackout on the anniversary of the 1977 blackout, and it is causing 60,000 customers to lose power. There is also plenty of sin in New York City as well to receive this punishment. Your people only take notice of things that affect their wallet of money. If this is the only way to get your attention about your sins, then expect more of these incidents. My people need to stop your abortions and sexual sins, and change your lives, or I will change them for you.”

Friday, July 12, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen a lot of flooding with heavy rains this year. It is so bad that farmers could only plant a portion of their usual crops because of the muddy fields. Now, you are seeing tropical storm Barry coming into Louisiana, where it is forecasted to flood this area with heavy rains. There is concern that the water could come over the levees. The vision of money under water is a sign that your people are losing billions of dollars due to the flooding of your rivers and farmlands. This money under water can also be a long term sign of doing away with cash money for transactions, or a crash of the dollar. The one world people manipulate the stock prices and the interest rates so they can buy stocks on margin with cheap money. It is your savers in cash who are getting less money on their savings with lower interest rates. Pray for the people and farmers who are suffering losses on their crops and buildings.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have been seeing many earthquakes all around the Rim of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. When you have a 7 or 8 earthquake, you could see a tsunami occur that can travel very fast in the water. I will give you more details as this time approaches. Be prepared for one event after another as the time of the Warning and tribulation are near in your time. The people all over the world are concerned more about their daily activities, possessions, and fame, when they should be more concerned about their soul’s destination. For those people, who desire to be with Me in heaven, you need to make Me the center of your lives. By your prayers, Masses, good deeds, and monthly Confession, I can see that your love for Me is sincere. I am always at your side so you can ask Me to help you through the trials in your life. Trust in Me at all times in My love, and you will have your reward in heaven.”

Thursday, July 11, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel you see Me instructing My apostles in how to go out to all the nations to preach ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand.’ I told them to take no money in their belt, no sack, no extra tunic, and no sandals. I also said how they are to heal the sick, raise the dead, and forgive their sins through My commission of Holy Orders at the Last Supper. Even today, I am calling My priests, missionaries, and My prophets to go out and heal people, and the priests can hear confessions. It is a special mission to go out to spread My Good News of salvation through My death and Resurrection. In the vision I am the Vine and you are the branches. I give you life in My Eucharistic graces and the Holy Spirit to speak the words to convert souls. It is the rainwater of converts that you bring to Me. Reach out to save converts, and all of the fallen away Catholics. I offer salvation, but the people need to repent and accept Me as their Savior.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing a second tropical storm, Barry, that could turn into a hurricane. Several low lying areas are being evacuated, and there is a possibility that enough rain or storm surge could break some levees. Pray for the safety of the people of Louisiana, and that the levees hold. Many people may not be fully prepared. You could pray your Divine Mercy Chaplet for anyone that may die from this storm.”

Jesus said: “My people, I have been warning you that you could be tested by some serious natural disasters because of your sins of abortion in killing My babies. You have already seen a 6.6 and a 7.1 earthquake in Southern California. You could see more after shocks and possibly more large earthquakes. You are also seeing some heavy activity with geysers going off 23 times. All of this activity has not occurred in two decades. Be prepared for disasters as the Barry storm. Pray for the people who may experience losses or even some deaths.”

Jesus said: “My people, Iran has been harassing the oil tankers going through the straits of Hormuz. Some have been mined or set on fire, but there has been no loss of life so far. The sanctions on Iran has caused them a bad economy. It will be hard to restrain from retaliation if more ships are set on fire. Pray that a war does not break out in this area.”

Jesus said: “My people, some of your socialist Democrats are proposing unreasonable plans as the ‘Green’ plan to stop burning fossil fuels. This would be difficult since your alternative sources of electricity could not generate enough electricity for your needs. Other proposals were to do away with ICE, Homeland Security, the Secret Service, and even the Coast Guard. Some of these plans are to form an atheistic communist country. This is why your President is against socialism and taking away your right to worship Me. Pray that the socialists do not take over, but eventually I will allow your takeover as a punishment for your abortion laws.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have seen several movies come out that exposed the dreadful killing of babies in late term abortions. Some have shown doctors killing live babies, and others showed an abortion clinic director who quit her job, and now fights abortion. Many are bringing cases to your Supreme Court. Pray to stop abortion, and if possible, repeal your Roe vs. Wade decision that allows abortion. If your laws or decisions are not changed, you will see worse disasters.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have just celebrated Independence Day when your people fought for your freedoms from England. You have a democratic republic with your Bill of Rights in your Constitution. Your liberal activists are trying to change your Electoral College vote to a Popular Vote that would only favor populous states. Preserve your freedoms and fight against socialism which is a Godless or atheist form of government.”

Jesus said: “My people, your President has been trying to have fair trade without cheating and hidden fees. Tariffs on China have had some hard consequences on your farmers. Your President is also encouraging more plants to make things in your own country, but this has only increased slightly. The uncertainty over your trade issues could affect your economy. So pray that a reasonable trade agreement can be worked out with China and other countries.”

Wednesday, July 10, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, you have been reading the account of Joseph in the Book of Genesis. He had a dream interpreted for the Pharaoh of Egypt who saw seven fat cows and then seven thin cows. This meant that there would be seven years of plenty and then seven years of famine. Joseph was given control over the food in Egypt. So he had the people store extra grain during the years of plenty. Then he was able to ration the grain to the hungry people during the famine. Even his own family benefited from these rations of grain. My people have been warned also of a coming famine. So now is the time to save at least one year’s supply of food per family member. If you do not have the money or space for so much food, then in faith I will multiply your food when it is needed. My refuges need to stock up on your dried food, MREs (meals ready to eat), and canned food. I will multiply your food, water, and fuels so you can survive at your refuges. Just as I provided manna and quail for My people in the desert, so I will provide daily Holy Communion and deer at My refuges. Trust in Me to provide for all of your needs at My refuges during the tribulation, along with your refuge angel shielding you from the evil ones.”

Jesus said: “My people, in your news you heard of several Iranian boats that were trying to capture a British supertanker in another provocative incident. This was in response to British ships capturing an Iranian tanker that was trying to avoid the sanctions against Iran. A British warship close by warned off the attacking boats. You have seen at least four recent events of Iranian attacks on tankers, and shooting down your drone. If these incidents continue and get more serious, you could see some retaliation that could initiate a war between America and Iran. The vision of seeing a tank is an indication of a possible war. You need to add another intention to your daily prayers that you do not have a war with Iran.”

Tuesday, July 9, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, in the messages I gave you in Puerto Rico, I was showing you a missionary trip to evangelize people. Not only do I call you to baptize new converts, but I want you to reach out to the fallen away Catholics, who are no longer coming to Sunday Mass. You have heard of Me as the Good Shepherd of My people, and I am constantly searching for My lost sheep. I love all of My people, and I want My prayer warriors to help seek out the lost souls, so they can be saved. Saving souls is your most important work for Me. So do not be afraid to go out of your comfort zone to find these lost sheep. You can also pray for the lost souls to return to Me, and for the souls in purgatory. When you are generous with your prayers and your help, I will reward you in heaven.”

Monday, July 8, 2019

Jesus said: “My son, I am showing you how you are constantly traveling to where I send you to help evangelize people to the faith. You are fortunate to have people paying for your plane ticket, serving you food, and providing housing. My servants are worthy of their needs which are provided by their friends. All of those people, who help you, will receive their reward in heaven. You can also thank them for their generosity. It is almost time to say good-bye to the Puerto Rican people. I am blessing them all for being faithful to Me and My Blessed Mother. Continue, My son, to go forward and share My messages with those people, who come to hear them, and they need to act on My messages of love by loving Me and one another in all that you do.”

Sunday, July 7, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, the harvest of souls is great, but the workers in the field to evangelize the people, are few. Pray and ask the Master of the Harvest to send more workers into the fields to reap the harvest of souls. My son, you and My special prophets need to share the faith with the people. You may be the only one to greet some people with My faith in My Kingdom that the people will ever meet. Bring as many souls to Me as you can. Pray for more vocations to the priesthood, but the time before My Warning grows short. It will be My gift of My Warning that will help convert some souls who would have been lost. My prayer warriors will need to reach out to all of their family members to convert their souls during the six weeks of conversion after the Warning. This will allow the new believers to have the angels put a cross on their foreheads so they can enter My refuges. You do not want to see any one of your relatives lost in hell. I am depending on My prayer warriors to help Me in the harvest of souls. The devil is trying to take souls away from Me, but I am more powerful. I am sending My Holy Spirit down to help My faithful in winning souls over to Me. He will give you the words to speak to the people so they could be saved. Give your free will over to My Will, and you will be with Me in heaven, just like the thief on the cross entered Paradise with Me.”

Saturday, July 6, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, I told you that I would be with you always to the end of time. At the tribulation time My faithful souls will all be separated at My refuges. Some refuges will have a priest, and they will have Me in daily Holy Communion. Other refuges may not have a priest, so I will send My angels to give you daily Holy Communion, just as you see the angel in the vision bringing My Hosts to the people. Once you receive My Hosts, you can place one Host in a monstrance for Adoration in your chapel. Then My faithful need to assign Adoration hours to the people at all hours of the day and night. This is so someone is constantly present before My Real Presence. This will be a Perpetual Adoration so I will protect and feed all the people at your refuge. I love all of My people so much, and I desire to be with you at all times. Give Me your love, and repent of your sins, and you will have eternal life with Me in heaven.”

Friday, July 5, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s first reading Abraham wanted to keep his race pure, so he had Isaac instructed to only marry someone of his own family’s descendants. Isaac was married to Rebecca, and he was the one to carry on the descendants of Abraham. This is also a sign to have a pure marriage with no sexual relations before the marriage. This is an example for all of My young people that you need to be properly married in My Church with only a man and a woman. Avoid living in fornication, adultery, or in homosexual marriages. If you commit any sexual mortal sin, you need to be confessed in Confession in order to receive Holy Communion worthily. Do not receive Holy Communion in mortal sin, or you commit another mortal sin of sacrilege. I am perfect and holy, and you should only receive Me with a pure and holy soul. Go forward and evangelize as many souls to the faith as you can.”

Thursday, July 4, 2019

God the Father said: “I AM WHO AM is calling all of you to come and honor My Beloved Son because He has brought salvation to all of your souls by His sacrifice on the cross. His sacrifice is making atonement for all of your sins, past, present, and to come. When you come to adore My Son in the consecrated Host, thank Him for dying for your sins, and opening the gates of heaven to all worthy souls. This plan of My Son as your Redeemer, was started after the original sin of Adam and Eve. I have restored man’s standing, despite your fallen state. I love all of My creations, and I will not abandon your souls to the evil ones. Instead, My Son’s death and Resurrection offers eternal life to all souls who will repent of their sins and love Me, as well as loving My Son as your Savior.”

(Our 54th wedding anniversary)
Jesus said: “My son, I want to congratulate you and your wife for being faithful to each other for fifty-four years, as your marriage has produced great fruits of love for your family. With your society it is harder to find couples staying together this long. I instituted the marriage sacrament of Matrimony so couples of husband and wife could bring up their children in an environment of love. I even use marriage to show My relationship as Groom and My Church as My Bride. It is unfortunate that many of your people are not following My plan, but they are living in sinful lifestyles of adultery, fornication, and homosexual acts. Your people are also using abortions to cover up their sins. You need to pray for young couples to get married properly before having children. They would be best to get married in My Church with a commitment to keep their marriage together without divorce. Love in a family is needed more than ever in your world.”

Jesus said: “My son, when you come to the Puerto Rican people, you will be seeking out souls to be saved by My grace. Many people are seeking the love and hope in Me to bring them through their trials. Let the people know how much I love them, and I am bringing My servants to share My messages of love in the end times. My Warning is coming to give all souls a chance to repent and change the sinful lives of this world. The Warning may be your last chance to be saved, so choose to change your evil lives into good Christian lives. You will have a life review with a focus on your unforgiven sins. Then you will have My judgment of your souls. You will all have a taste of your present destination for your soul. Repent of your sins in frequent Confession so you are not faced with the flames of hell in your mini-judgment. I love all of My people, and I do not want to lose one soul. All the souls who choose hell, make that choice from their own free will. I will never violate your free will, but I encourage you to love Me and one another.”

Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel you saw how My apostles were fearful for their lives in the storm, even though they knew I was with them. When they called Me to help them, then I calmed the storm, and the apostles were amazed at My power over the seas and wind. This faith in My Presence by your side should be remembered when storms come up in your lives. At times you will have what appears as impossible problems to solve. This is when you can call on My help to get you through your trials. It is your faith in My help that I will hear in your request, and I will answer you. There are many trials that you will face which are beyond your control. So always remember to call on My help in prayer.”

Jesus said: “My son, Fr. Michel, yourself, and your wife will be leaving soon to give talks in the cities of Puerto Rico. Your friend, Nilda, will be translating for both of you as you bring My Word to the people of God in Puerto Rico. You will see some places that were damaged by Hurricane Maria, and it is hard to recover from such a disaster. Comfort and pray for these people who have suffered much destruction. Give them hope in My love so they can pick themselves up. Maybe you could see some places to help when you get back home. Take some video to show the people in America how they are living now.”

Jesus said: “My son, do what you can to help Nilda and thank her for all of her work. She is concerned for her people, and she wants them to hear about refuges and the trials that are coming. The people will be happy to hear Fr. Michel’s stories and his message for these times. Your time to prepare for the end times is growing short and the people need to be prepared for the coming Warning by coming to frequent Confession. Continue to pray for the people of Puerto Rico and the success of your trip.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have had a time of prosperity for some time with full employment all around you. There are signs on your farms that you could see less crops harvested that could test your food supplies. There are also signs that your businesses might start slowing down as some people are concerned about a recession due to your inverted yield curve on your government bonds. Pray that people will be prepared with some extra food that may be needed if your stores have less food than needed.”

Jesus said: “My people, in My days the people were asking Me for a sign, but the only sign I would give them is the sign of Jonah. You know how I asked him to go to a city of his enemies to tell them in forty days their city would be destroyed if they did not repent and change their lives. He was reluctant at first, but he was able to convert the people of Nineveh. So the sign for all of My faithful is to reach out to your neighbor and try to save and evangelize as many souls as you can. Do not have any fear, but call on My help and the Holy Spirit will give you the words you are to preach to them.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing possible threats from North Korea who has nuclear bombs and delivery missiles. Your President reached out to him at the border. You also have Iran stirring up trouble with the oil tankers and expanding and enriching more uranium to make potential bombs. Keep praying that you do not have a war in this area of the Middle East.”

Jesus said: “My son, you are fortunate to have a beautiful wife and family over these many years. You have made Me the center of your life, and you have been rewarded for your efforts. You have answered My call for your mission to preach about the end times and a further mission to prepare a refuge. You should be thankful for your prayer group who have supported you in your missions. Continue to trust in Me, and I will lead you to help other people in their faith.”

Jesus said: “My people, America is a special nation that was founded on a Constitution of a belief in Me and Judeo-Christian principles. Many of your people have kept your freedoms to worship Me and earn your own living. You are now seeing a confrontation with socialist communists who are trying to change your Democratic republic into another atheistic communist country like China and Russia. This will be a moment of truth for your people to choose between your current freedom, or give in to oppressive communist leaders. You are also choosing between loving Me or not. Atheism is a lack of love for Me, so hold on to your original beliefs of your Baptism in the faith. You would much rather be with your loving God in heaven, than suffer the flames of hell where the devil hates you. Choose life with Me as your eternal reward.”

Monday, July 1, 2019

Jesus said: “My people of America, how I love you so much for all you do to help people and other nations. But your behavior as a nation is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. I keep giving you warning messages to stop your abortions, fornications, and homosexual acts, but you are not listening to My pleas to change. As a punishment you will be seeing worse natural disasters, and eventually I will allow the one world people to take you over. My saving grace for My faithful believers is that I am having My people set up refuges of protection where I will separate My good people from the evil people. Only My believers will have an invisible cross on their foreheads, and this will allow them to enter My refuges. People without this cross, will not be allowed to enter because the refuge angel will prevent them from entering. This is why during the six weeks after My Warning, you will need to try and convert your family members so they can receive the cross on the forehead to enter my refuges. Lot and his family were removed from Sodom and then I destroyed that town because there were no more just people. Once My faithful are safely in My refuges, I will bring My Comet of Chastisement, and all the evil people will be killed and cast into hell. My refuge angels will shield My faithful from the Comet, and then I will bring My faithful into My Era of Peace. The Antichrist and the demons will be defeated in My victory, and they will burn in hell as well as the evil people. Rejoice in My love, but My justice will be carried out because of your sins.”

Jesus said: “My son, you are well aware of the value of the Mass where the priest consecrates the bread and wine into My Body and Blood in My Real Presence. The sacrifice of the Mass has more value than any other prayer because it involves My unbloody sacrifice. You had some messages about My justice punishments coming on your country. There are people who could lose their lives in storm, earthquakes, or accidents. Some of these people who die suddenly, may not have the grace of time to prepare their souls to meet Me at their judgment. It is for this reason that you have some priest offering up Masses of Reparation to help such souls faced with a sudden death. I want you to continue to support this effort for Masses of Reparation that will be needed more when more serious destruction falls on your land.”

Sunday, June 30, 2019

Jesus said: “My people, in the first reading you are seeing Elijah passing on his mission of prophesy to Elisha when Elijah put his cloak over Elisha. Elisha completed his farming mission by killing his oxen for a feast because he was not coming back. Elisha bid his parents good-bye and followed his new mission with Elijah. In the Gospel I was calling people to share My mission also. When I called people, I wanted them to follow Me at once, without looking back. If you are called to be a priest, a prophet, or a missionary, be thankful for the opportunity to spread My Good News. Do not look for excuses not to serve, but be ready to be with Me in converting souls to the faith. Some people I call for special missions, but all of My followers are called to evangelize souls by their Baptism. You can help your own family members to come closer to Me in prayer and coming to Sunday Mass. Be ready to follow Me and make Me the center of your life so you can love Me and your neighbor.”

(St. Peter & St. Paul)

Jesus said: “My people, these two men are truly your pillars of faith. To St. Peter I gave the keys of My Kingdom, as he was chosen to be My first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. You have been reading all the accounts of My Early Church in the Acts of the Apostles. St. Paul was converted from a Pharisee, who was killing My converts, to a great missionary of the Gentiles. My Early Church made a decision not to require circumcision and other Jewish requirements to become a Christian. I had Jewish roots, but I came to fulfill My laws of love. Loving everyone, even your enemies, is a new way of life, even for the Jews who lived by ‘an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’. My apostles have given you the faith in My Gospels and St. Paul’s epistles, so follow My words in your actions, and you will have eternal life.”

Jesus said: “My people, you remember reading the accounts of the Book of Genesis after I created everything on the earth. I put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and they were without sin. Once the devil tempted them to eat the forbidden fruit, they committed the original sin against Me. Sin and death came into the world as Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. I came down to the earth to die on the cross to bring salvation to all of My people. Some people have accepted Me, while others have not. Those people, who remain faithful to Me through the tribulation will have their reward in My Era of Peace and later in heaven. You will rejoice in this new Era of Peace without the devil or any evil thing. This Era of Peace is how I wanted man to live before the devil changed the world. But I am more powerful, and I will defeat all of the demons and cast them back into hell. Look forward to My Era of Peace for all the people who will be faithful to Me in word and deed.”
