Pastors, Priests: Find the Lost

Pastors and priests are being looked up to by the community. They have to discipline the Church; they are there to unify and not to divide, to find the lost ones, to lead them to Jesus.
A parish is full of churchgoers if the pastor/priest has a prepared homily all the time, and he is visible and accessible to them. The number of attendees to the service is a testament to the pastor/priest’ effectiveness. He has to pray, pray!

The devil wants to win over the holy ones, why would he approach someone who is his follower already?

There are pastors and priests who have gone astray. Humility and ardent prayer is what they need.

For our God’s messages:

“so many of you are bound by the chains of lust and of darkness!” tlig


Jesus -
"I ask parents to restore discipline to their homes. I demand My pastors to restore discipline to My Church upon earth. You will not convert the masses, but you will set yourselves to be destroyed by the enemies of God, because you do not pray, because you do not seek means of mortification. I say unto you, as your God, in the name of your Creator, that as you sow, so shall you reap - and many of you are preparing to reap the whirlwind!

The priests and the pastors, are human beings, subject to greater temptations. We have to pray for them.


SAVE THE CLERGY
"
you must go forward and try to save your brothers, those in the clergy. So few do pray for the clergy. The general idea, My child, is that they have a special passport to Heaven. But that is not true. Their temptations are far greater than yours. Therefore, they are to be pitied. For hell opened up would show unto you the numbers of mitres that have fallen in the past earth-years." - Jesus, April 14, 1984
