Jesus said: “My people, the Ten Commandments were given to Moses and his people as guides to live a saintly life. They are guides for all of My people. They are truly the laws to love Me and to love your neighbors. I told you in the Gospel that I came to fulfill the law, and not to change it. My laws are a covenant of love with man, and not one letter will be changed, because My law and My Words are forever. I came to the earth so I could be the Lamb of God offered up to God the Father, as the perfect sacrifice to make reparation for all of your sins. I died for love of all of you. I have given you My sacrament of Reconciliation, so you could have your sins absolved by the priest in Confession. I want you to obey My laws, but it is the spirit of the law that is most important, so you are loving Me, and you do not want to offend Me. I want to keep a loving relationship with all of My faithful. You want to be close to Me throughout your life, so I can welcome you as My friend into heaven at your death.”

Jesus said: “My people, ‘What goes into the mouth does not defile a man; but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a man.’(Matt. 15:11) ‘Do you not realize that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly and is cast out into the drain? But the things that proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart, and it is they that defile a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, immorality, thefts, false witness, and blasphemies. These are the things that defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.’(Matt. 15:7-20) I was taking the Pharisees to task for following mere human precepts, but their hearts are far from Me. For I look into everyone’s heart, and I see the intentions of their actions. Some people may be clever in fooling you with their actions, but I am reading the heart, and you cannot fool Me in what you intended to accomplish. So My friends, you need to keep a pure soul and a heart with only good intentions. By following My ways instead of man’s ways, you will be on the right path to heaven.”
