Christ is saying to all Christians, especially those who have greater responsibility, such as priests and bishops, that if people pray to discover and do the holy will of God, it is possible to live the Ten Commandments as God gave to Moses. IF PEOPLE DO NOT PRAY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AS GOD INTENDED for our true good explained in detail by His Church, the Catholic Church. It is amazing today how many priests, bishops and cardinals are trying to change the 10 Commandments according to what the people want, instead of encouraging the people to set aside at least 15 minutes each day to meditate on the life of Christ in the Holy Rosary and to spend time before the Most Blessed Sacrament; if they did this, it would be possible to live the 10 Commandments as God intended for our true good.
Thus one sees what Our Lady predicted for our times on the anniversary of the great miracle of the sun at Fatima on October 13, 1917: “The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see CARDINALS OPPOSING CARDINALS, bishops against other bishops… THE CHURCH WILL BE FULL OF THOSE WHO ACCEPT COMPROMISE …” (Our Lady of Akita, Japan; October 13, 1973; http://blogcristianocattolico.blogspot.com/2008/01/la-madonna-di-akita-giappone.html).
Information necessary for turning this wretched world around is in this article. Are people listening? In addition to attending most daily Masses (with my better half), I spend time at adoration praying for this crazy world and for our families [at least two hours every week on Fridays (as I’m signed up to do so), and complete one rosary while there], and after my time with Jesus has ended, I ride home a more peaceful person. It happens EVERY time.

Thank you for this post!
I am totally in agreement with you. Almost 15 years ago I took the advice of Archbishop Fulton Sheen to make a holy hour everyday. I cannot tell you how much this has helped me!
Sheen also said that the holy hour was the only thing he discovered to overcome the “Noon Day Devil”, that is the lose of enthusiasm to love God and neighbor. Few people realize how much Jesus loves them, and thus they do not realize how much Jesus suffers (now! as Padre Pio and the saints tell us) for our indifference. The more one loves, the greater the pain due to indifference! Padre Pio also said that the prayer most gratifying to Jesus after the Holy Mass is the Way of the Cross, which helps us understand how much Jesus suffered for our indifference as well as to maybe understand the gravity of our sins.
