Message 172
My dear little children, praise be Jesus!
Little ones, God desires you to progress spiritually.
In order to do
this, it is necessary for you to perform a self-examination in the
presence of God, invoking enlightenment from the Holy Spirit.
God is
loving and it is His Mercy which will give you the knowledge to see
yourself as you are.
Examine yourself and your relationships with Him.
Do you love to
reflect on God's goodness? What are your spiritual exercises? What are
you doing to avoid sin? In a spirit of humility examine yourself.
Examine your language, your affections, pleasures and desires.
Are you
more concerned with your body than your soul?
How do you see yourself in God's eyes? In what spirit do you refer to
yourself? What are your relationships with your neighbors, relatives and
friends? Do you love them with a love of God? Do you disagree with
someone in a spirit of disgust or anger? Do you find reason to defend
your argument? Do you show affection to the people you dislike the most
and to those who disagree with you?
Be at peace, little ones, when you do your examination so that you are
able to examine your heart carefully.
Do not reflect on your weaknesses
for a long period of time so that you will not fall into a state of self
pity.
Simply take note of your faults and make the resolution to
consciously work on those areas the Holy Spirit has enlightened you in a
spirit of love.
Be grateful to God for enlightening you.
Give thanks to Him for all the
graces He has bestowed on you.
Give Him your heart unconditionally so He
can rule over it.
Ask forgiveness for those areas in which you have been
unfaithful and disloyal, and implore His assistance so that you may be
able to respond to His light and inspirations.
I love you, little children, with the love of a mother.
I give you My
heart which adores Jesus.
Please give Him your heart.
I bless you in His name and take your petitions to Him.
Thank you for responding to My call.
AD DEUM.
