“My dearly beloved daughter, these days, almost upon you, bring with them a terrible darkness and despair, the likes of which has never been witnessed in your lifetimes.
This darkness will be of the spirit and will be caused by the emptiness of those souls who follow the antichrist and the false prophet. The pain of the spirit, which they will inflict on Christians, who will refuse to listen to heresy, will be difficult to endure.
I only tell you this, so you will know in your hearts, that the pain of rejection you feel will be because you, by upholding My Holy Word, will suffer in My Name.
You must never question the huge demands, which will be made upon you, or lose confidence, for it is I, your King, who has the Power to ensure that you can bear this. Nor, must you ever doubt that this Remnant Army, of which you will now become part of in order to remain true to Me, Jesus Christ, has been foretold.
Do not listen to those who will try to tell you that you must not believe in these, My Holy Messages for the world, for they are being deceived. You must pray for those who will not have the strength or the spirit of discernment and who will choose the wrong fork in the road. Many who will follow the false prophet, will try to drag you down the same road.
Brother will fight brother and sister, father against son, mother against daughter – all in their quest to follow the Truth, but so many will fail to see the errors of the teachings of the false prophet and will be lost to Me.
It will only be the brave and courageous amongst you, who love Me the most, who will lead My army towards salvation. They will bring with them billions of souls, under My Guidance, to safety. This is why you must never give up.
Your Jesus”

Reading 1JER 18:18-20
“Come, let us contrive a plot against Jeremiah.
It will not mean the loss of instruction from the priests,
nor of counsel from the wise, nor of messages from the prophets.
And so, let us destroy him by his own tongue;
let us carefully note his every word.”Heed me, O LORD,
and listen to what my adversaries say.
Must good be repaid with evil
that they should dig a pit to take my life?
Remember that I stood before you
to speak in their behalf,
to turn away your wrath from them.
Responsorial PsalmPS 31:5-6, 14, 15-16
R. (17b) Save me, O Lord, in your kindness.

Verse Before The GospelJN 8:12
I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
whoever follows me will have the light of life.
GospelMT 20:17-28
he took the Twelve disciples aside by themselves,
and said to them on the way,
“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests
and the scribes,
and they will condemn him to death,
and hand him over to the Gentiles
to be mocked and scourged and crucified,
and he will be raised on the third day.”Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons
and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something.
He said to her, “What do you wish?”
She answered him,
“Command that these two sons of mine sit,
one at your right and the other at your left, in your kingdom.”
Jesus said in reply,
“You do not know what you are asking.
Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?”
They said to him, “We can.”
He replied,
“My chalice you will indeed drink,
but to sit at my right and at my left,
this is not mine to give
but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
When the ten heard this,
they became indignant at the two brothers.
But Jesus summoned them and said,
“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,
and the great ones make their authority over them felt.
But it shall not be so among you.
Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant;
whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.
Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many.” ”

16 But the LordAlmighty will be exalted by his justice,
and the holy God will be proved holy by his righteous acts.
17 Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;
lambs will feed[d] among the ruins of the rich.
18 Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,
and wickednessas with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy Oneof Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.”
