About the young people of to-day

Message to John Leary
Sunday, June 27, 2010

Jesus said: “My people, you have wondered what HAPPENED TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF TODAY and why their faith is not as strong as the children of fifty years ago.
Back then you were trained by the nuns and you remember how you had to memorize the answers in your BALTIMORE CATECHISM.
This is before your religious teaching became LIBERALIZED into a WATERED DOWN FAITH.
In those days you had MUCH MORE DISCIPLINE expected of you in your behavior, and you respected your teachers and parents.
At home TELEVISION was just coming out, and you did NOT have computers, NOR the internet.
At that time your movies were MUCH CLEANER, there were little drugs, and SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE WAS FROWNED ON.

Today many Catholic schools are being closed and religious education is hard to get older children to attend.
RELIGIOUS DISCIPLINE OF PRAYER AND CONFESSION ARE LACKING in many families.

You are seeing your students have LITTLE RESPECT for their teachers and their parents. DIVORCE AND SEXUAL PROMISCUITY is ruining families, and DRUG AND INTERNET ADDICTIONS are rampant.
Your movies have EXPLICIT SEX, VIOLENCE, and VULGAR LANGUAGE, as do your television programs.

WITH ALL OF THESE CAUSES, you can see why you have many lukewarm in the faith that are not coming to church, which is causing many churches to close and fewer men desiring the priesthood.
Even still the PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE for bringing up their children in the faith.
See that they get a PROPER CATHOLIC EDUCATION and TEACH THEM THEIR PRAYERS.
Give them GOOD EXAMPLE by your prayer life, your going to SUNDAY MASS, and your going to at least monthly Confession.

Pray for your children to stay strong in their faith by encouraging them without nagging.
THIS IS AN EVIL TIME AND LIVING A SAINTLY, HOLY LIFE IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT than in past years.
Call on My help and graces, and you can overcome any evil influence.”
