Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
“Your ‘spiritual house’ cannot be built upon the sandy foundation of guilt over past sins. Believe in My Mercy. Trust in My Mercy. Only then will you be able to proceed to deeper virtue. Keep a focus on all I have provided for you – both corporeally and spiritually. To become closer to My Son is to meditate on His Passion and Death.”
“Pray for the Church upon earth which is involved in a quagmire of controversy. The shadows of immorality hide the power of grace that My Son offers through the sacraments of the Church. Build up your spiritual household by breaking with habits of sin. Every ‘spiritual house’ must be built upon Holy Love – the ‘rock’ which supports obedience to My Commandments.* Such a ‘household’ cannot be easy prey to evil.”
“The greatest stumbling block to holiness for many is unforgiveness. Pray to imitate My Mercy towards all and even yourself. In that way, you will firm up the ‘rocks’ in the foundation of your ‘house’ of holiness. Such a commitment will bring peace to your own heart and the hearts of those around you.”
