27th June 2009 (Afternoon Prayer)
My dear little one,
Suffering and self denial are an integral part of your spiritual journey. You have been called to take the spiritual path of holiness – to learn to be holy as I your Lord and God am holy. Do not become overwhelmed with the challenges you face. Rely totally on my Divine love. Remember to unite your suffering to the suffering of your Lord and Redeemer. I have told you to come to me when you feel so heavy burdened and I will give you rest. I am calling you to a life of spiritual union with your Heavenly Father through me His Son by the grace of the Holy Spirit. Turn away from sin and be faithful to my calling. I am your shield. Do not be afraid to take this next step on the path of intimacy with your Lord and God. Share with me and I will give you the strength to persevere on the difficult days. Be in tune with the spiritual feelings you receive. Your intuition is a gift given to you by your Heavenly Father. Pray first in all you do to further the Kingdom of God. Discernment is one of the steps you are called to take as you journey down the path of wisdom. Learn also the importance of discipline. Many run away and hide and do not want to accept discipline in their lives. The training of self comes about through accepting discipline. You have been asked to renounce yourself and pick up your cross to follow me. Renouncing your old ways takes discipline and strength. Stay close to me and let me teach you my ways. I ask you to love your Lord and God and to love your neighbour as you love yourself. Study the book of Wisdom. Your love must be pure and giving. There can be no hidden motives with your love of God, your love of others and your love of self. Purify your heart and you will see God.
