How to make Jesus be born and grow in your heart

How to make Jesus be born and grow in your hearts.

Finding myself in my usual state, I was longing for little Baby Jesus, and after

many hardships, He made Himself seen in my interior as a little Baby, and told

me: "My daughter, the best way to make Me be born in one’s own heart, is to

empty oneself of everything, because in finding empty space, I can place all my

goods in it. And only then can I remain in it forever, if there is room to be able to

carry all that belongs to Me, all that is my own. A person who went to live in the

house of someone else, could be called happy only if he found empty space in

which to be able to put all of his belongings; otherwise, he would be unhappy. So

I am.

The second thing in order to make Me be born and to increase my happiness, is

that everything the soul contains, both internal and external - everything, must be

done for Me; everything must serve to honor Me, to execute my orders. If only

one thing, one thought, one word, is not for Me, I feel unhappy, and while I

should be the master, they make Me a slave. Can I tolerate all this?

The third one is heroic love, magnified love, love of sacrifice. These three loves

make my happiness grow in a marvelous way, because they render the soul

capable of works which are superior to her strengths, as she does them with my

strength alone. They will expand her, by making not only her, but also others

love Me. And she will reach the point of enduring anything, even death, in order

to triumph in everything, and be able to say to Me: ‘I have nothing else;

everything is only love for You.’ In this way, she will not only make Me be born,

but will make Me grow, and will form a beautiful paradise in her heart."

As He was saying this, I looked at Him, and from little, in one instant He became

big, in such a way that I remained completely filled with Him. Then everything

disappeared.

The Inner Cloister and the New and Divine Holiness

 “The Holy Spirit wants to give Christians a ‘new and divine holiness’

at the Dawn of the Third Millennium” - Pope John Paul II

To Conchita (Ven. Maria Concepcion Cabrera de Armida), Jesus speaks of “the inner

cloister”:

“I want to make you a saint known to Me alone. That is why I take care of you, advise you,

direct you, watch over you...I want you to be a mirror of hidden virtues ...nothing external. “You

are to live cloistered in the very inner sanctuary of your souls, for there is where dwells the Holy

Spirit. It is in this sanctuary you must live and die. There are your delights, your consolations,

your repose. Do not look elsewhere for it. You will never find it.”

“From today on, enter into the innermost regions of your soul, into those areas so

unknown to so many others, but where is found that happiness which I am. Enter into it never to

leave it. And here is the path which will lead you there: the inner...”

“Here is your cloister, your religious perfection. It is not enough to immure your body, to be

a nun....The ‘inner cloister’ is essential for the sanctification of the soul within to be all Mine.

You must never leave this inner sanctuary, even in the midst of your outside obligations.”

“There, in this sanctuary, which no one sees, is found true virtue and consequently the

contemplation of God and the dwelling of the Holy Spirit.” (Conchita, A Mother’s Spiritual Diary,

8/15/1897)

Ven. Mother Louise Margaret Claret de la Touche (1868-1915) spoke about the interior

life in her book containing messages from Our Lord, “The Love and Service of God Infinite

Love”. She says, “The interior life does not consist, as some people wrongfully think, in the

suppression of all activity; if that were so, it would be incompatible with good works, which are

the fruit of charity. The interior life can be established and maintained in the midst of the most

exacting employments, and many Saints who have added luster to the Church have prove this by

their lives which were filled with holy works and, which were at the same time, altogether

interior.” She goes on to say, “Let us unite ourselves with the Virgin Mary and, like her,

completely recollected in our interior, let us seek Jesus, Who reposes there in silence and in

peace. Let us think of the sentiments of Mary, and like her, detaching our souls more and more

from the exterior, passing things of time, let us live with the Divine Master that interior life

which will be for us a prelude of the life of happiness in Heaven.”

St. Faustina was told by her confessor, “Let God push your boat out into the deep waters,

toward the unfathomable depths of the interior life.”

From the writings of St. Louis Marie de Montfort: “Because Mary remained hidden

during her life, she is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church, Alma Mater, Mother hidden and

unknown. So great was her humility that she desired nothing more upon earth than to remain

unknown to herself and to others, and to be known only to God.”

Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity speaks of interior silence saying, “It seems to me, that to

keep one’s strength for the Lord is to unify one’s whole being by means of interior silence, to

collect all one’s powers in order to employ them in the one work of love, to have this single eye

which allows the light of God to enlighten us. A soul that debates with its self, that is taken up

with its feelings, and pursues useless thoughts sand desires, scatters it forces, for it is not wholly

directed toward God. Its lyre does not vibrate in unison and when the Master plays it, He cannot

draw from it divine harmonies, for it is still too human and discordant...How indispensable this

beautiful inner unity is for the soul that wants to live here below the life of the blessed....”

Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta: “...to be able to rest in God, inner silence is necessary...”

“But what is this inner silence? It is to silence our own passions by holding them in check; to

impose silence on desires, inclinations and sentiments; in summary, on everything which does

not call God.” (vol. 3, 5/20/1900)

Luke 17:20: “The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed, and no one will

announce, ‘Look, here it is’ or ‘there it is’.”

Luke 2:19: “And Mary kept in mind all these things and pondered them in her heart.”

Lynne Bauer, 1998

Abomination of Desolation

 9/21/2017

Yesterday, something prompted me to pick up a book from my bookcase which I brought with

me to Adoration this morning. The book is “True Life in God”, Jesus’ messages through Vassula

Ryden. Yesterday, I was on a Catholic blog and someone had posted what they thought was

happening in the Church today, so I went to Fr. Gobbi’s book and posted what Our Lady said

about “the abomination of desolation”:

"This is the hour when the abomination of desolation is truly entering into the holy temple of

God. They are no longer the salt of the earth, but a salt without savor,, corrupted and

nauseating, good only to be strewn on the ground and trampled underfoot by everyone. They

are no longer the light on the candlestick, but darkness which makes the night even more

obscure. They are all poor ailing priest-sons of mine, because they have fallen under the

dominion of satan."

"Help them without ever judging them. Love them always. Do not condemn them, this is not

your role."

"This scandal will become even greater and more serious."

Live simply in surrender and trust, like my little children, in my Immaculate Heart."

(To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons, The Marian Movement of Priests, #74)

This morning during Adoration, I opened Vassula’s book to the first message of June 19, 1995

and read:

“In these days and in your times I am confronted by the guilt of those who strike Me and the

wickedness of those who practice deceit. Do not commit this abomination which the prophet

Daniel spoke of, I say, but your steps persistently follow deceit; your era is challenging My

Power. Very well then, since your intentions, generation, are to trample on My Perpetual

Sacrifice and abolish It, I tell you: I shall do to you what I have done to Sodom and Gomorrah but

one hundred times more, to equal your sins – you see those ten Towers you have built for

yourselves as Lodges? Well, you will never live in them; your empire will crumble down together

with you; and those precious stones you have treasured? You will never possess them, for I am

going to pass through you to remind you that from the Beginning, My Name thrice Holy was to

be honored and kept Holy, and that your due to Me was to fear Me."

Wondering about what Jesus meant by the “ten Towers”, I was led to go to the messages of Fr.

Gobbi, and read,

“This Black Beast has ten horns and, on the horns, ten crowns, which are signs of domination

and royalty. Masonry rules and governs throughout the whole world by means of the ten

horns. The horn, in the biblical world, has always been an instrument of amplification, a way of

making ones voice better heard, a strong means of communication”. “For this reason, God

communicated his Will to his people by means of ten horns which made his Law known: the Ten

Commandments. The one who accepts them and observes them walks in life along the road of

the Divine Will, of joy and of peace.” “Freemasonry spreads everywhere through the power of

its ten horns, a law which is completely opposed to that of God.” MMP, #405, June 3, 1989

Lastly: This was a meditation during Adoration that I had on First Saturday, Feb. 4, 1995 (just 2

years after coming into the Catholic Church. Offered for your discernment:

Meditation on the Presentation of Jesus:

Sat., Feb. 4, 1995

As Our Lady presented the Infant Jesus to God the Father in the Temple, She also presents Him

to us each day at the Mass (in the Temple), and also presents each of us to God the Father as

She presented Jesus to Him. As Simeon and Anna knew that this Infant was the son of God, we

also must see Him in the Eucharist with the same faith as they did. We must believe in His true

Presence. Jesus has told me that the “abomination will soon be set up in the temple” and that

we must continue to walk in faith – “to be His Light” in the darkness surrounding us. I have

complained to Him to open the hearts of all the people that they may return to Him, and He has

told me many times that He “will not impose on their will.” He cannot enter the hearts of so

many as they are hardened and filled with pride – that many of them will be lost. We are asked

to continue to pray for them during this time of Mercy that their hearts may open. This is

where the “abomination” begins – in the heart”, but will “soon be set up in the temple”. As

Our Lady presented Jesus, She by tradition, was to be purified according to the Law (though She

was already pure!) – the Church must also be purified!

False Unity

 False Unity

I saw enlightened Protestants, plans formed for the blending of religious creeds, the suppression of papal authority… I saw no Pope, but a bishop prostrate before the High Altar. In this vision I saw the church bombarded by other vessels… It was threatened on all sides… They built a large, extravagant church which was to embrace all creeds with equal rights… but in place of an altar were only abomination and desolation. Such was the new church to be… —Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824 A.D.), The Life and Revelations of Anne Catherine Emmerich, April 12th, 1820

“By accepting the Protestant doctrine, people will hold that the Mass is not a sacrifice but only a sacred meal, that is to say, a remembrance of that which Jesus did at His Last Supper.  And thus, the celebration of Holy Mass will be suppressed.  In this abolition of the daily Sacrifice consists the horrible sacrilege accomplished by the Antichrist, which will last about three and a half years….”  (To the Priests, Our Ladys’ Beloved Sons, #485, Dec. 31, 1992)  (Daniel 12:9-12)

Time of Trial

“The Church will become small and will have to start afresh more or less from the beginning. She will no longer be able to inhabit many of the edifices she built in prosperity. As the number of her adherents diminishes… She will lose many of her social privileges… As a small society, [the Church] will make much bigger demands on the initiative of her individual members.

It will be hard-going for the Church, for the process of crystallization and clarification will cost her much valuable energy. It will make her poor and cause her to become the Church of the meek… The process will be long and wearisome as was the road from the false progressivism on the eve of the French Revolution — when a bishop might be thought smart if he made fun of dogmas and even insinuated that the existence of God was by no means certain… But when the trial of this sifting is past, a great power will flow from a more spiritualized and simplified Church. Men in a totally planned world will find themselves unspeakably lonely. If they have completely lost sight of God, they will feel the whole horror of their poverty. Then they will discover the little flock of believers as something wholly new. They will discover it as a hope that is meant for them, an answer for which they have always been searching in secret.

And so it seems certain to me that the Church is facing very hard times. The real crisis has scarcely begun. We will have to count on terrific upheavals. But I am equally certain about what will remain at the end: not the Church of the political cult, which is dead already with Gobel, but the Church of faith. She may well no longer be the dominant social power to the extent that she was until recently; but she will enjoy a fresh blossoming and be seen as man’s home, where he will find life and hope beyond death.” —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (POPE BENEDICT XVI), Faith and Future, Ignatius Press, 2009

“Take refuge now in my Immaculate Heart:  I want you here to strengthen you and to protect you at the time of the terrible trial.”  .  (To the Priests, Our Ladys’ Beloved Sons, #72, April 25, 1975)

March 2, 2012, Our Lady’s message to Mirjana:

"Dear children; Through the immeasurable love of God I am coming among you and I am persistently calling you into the arms of my Son. With a motherly heart I am imploring you, my children, but I am also repeatedly warning you, that concern for those who have not come to know my Son be in the first place for you. Do not permit that by looking at you and your life, they are not overcome by a desire to come to know Him. Pray to the Holy Spirit for my Son to be impressed within you. Pray that you can be apostles of the divine light in this time of darkness and hopelessness. This is a time of your trial. With a rosary in hand and love in the heart set out with me. I am leading you towards Easter in my Son. Pray for those whom my Son has chosen that they can always live through Him and in Him – the High Priest. Thank you."

“The Church is truth, because Jesus has entrusted to it alone the He (Jesus) has entrusted it alone the task of guarding, in its integrity, all the deposit of faith.  He has entrusted it to the hierarchical Church, that is to say, to the Pope and to the bishops united with him.  Ecclesiastical Masonry seeks to destroy this reality through false ecumenism, which leads to the acceptance of all Christian Churches, asserting that each one of them has some part of the truth.  It develops the plan of founding a universal ecumenical Church, formed by the fusion of all the Christian confessions, among which, the Catholic Church.  (To the Priests, Our Ladys’ Beloved Sons, #406, June 13, 1989)

And Jesus grew in wisdom and grace

 "And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men."

[Luke 2:52]

Sept. 14, 1921 –
“My daughter, each time the soul does her acts in my Will, she grows more and more before Me in
wisdom, in goodness, power and beauty. In fact, as she keeps repeating her acts in my Will, she takes as
many bites of wisdom, of goodness, etc.; and the soul grows from that food with which she feeds herself.

This is why in the Holy Gospel it is written of Me that I grew in wisdom before God and before men. As God, I could neither grow nor decrease; my growth was no other than my Humanity which, growing in age, came to multiply my acts in the Supreme Volition; and each additional act that I did was
additional growth in the wisdom of my Celestial Father. And this growth of mine was so true, that even
creatures noticed it. Each one of my acts ran in the immense sea of the Divine Will; and as I operated, I
nourished Myself with this celestial food. It would take too long to tell you of the seas of wisdom, of
goodness, of beauty, of power, that my Humanity swallowed in each additional act It did.

The same happens to the soul. My daughter, the sanctity in my Will grows at each instant - there is
nothing that can escape growing, and that the soul cannot let flow in the infinite sea of my Will. The
most indifferent things - sleep, food, work, etc. - can enter into my Will and take their place of honor in It as agents of my Will. If only the soul wants it, all things, from the greatest to the smallest, can be
occasions to enter into my Will - which does not happen with the virtues. In fact, if one wants to exercise the virtues, many times the occasion is missing. If the soul wants to exercise obedience, it takes someone who commands her, and it may happen that for days and weeks there is no one to give new commands for her to obey; therefore, as much goodwill to obey as she might have, the poor obedience will remain idle. The same with patience, humility and all the other virtues; since they are virtues of this low world, other creatures are needed in order to keep them exercised. On the other hand, my Will is virtue of Heaven, and I alone am enough to keep the soul, in each instant, in continuous exercise. It is easy for Me to keep her up above, night and day, in order to keep her exercised in my Will.
