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

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

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

THE INNER CLOISTER

       In Vol. 17 of the Book of Heaven (8/9/24) Jesus tells us of the souls that live in the

celestial sea of the Supreme Volition, “These souls are the hidden inhabitants of the

celestial waves which live for the honor and for the enrichment of the infinite sea of my

Will.  And as fish are hidden imperceptibly in the sea to nourish man, so also do these

souls remain hidden in the divine sea, silent, yet still forming my greater glory in

creation.”  “For the souls that lives and works in my Will, I, more than a tender mother,

hide it in my Will.”

      “This is the beauty of the interior life of the soul: without speaking and without

instruction, she ensures that nothing external either attracts her or disturbs her; that all

her attraction and all her goods are enclosed within.”  (vol. 5, 6/30/1903)

      Luisa once was inside a garden where there were various rose bushes.  Some were

beautifully in bloom, shaped just right, about half open.  Some of the other roses,

however, were losing their petals; as soon as the gentlest breeze came along, they

began shedding their petals until nothing but the stem was left.  She was told, “The first

roses are those souls that act interiorly.  These roses display a beauty, a freshness, and a

steadfastness that prevents any petal from falling to the earth.  Their half-closed petals

are a symbol of the opening that the interior life of the soul makes to the external world.

Having life within them, their works are perfumed with Holy Charity; like lights, they

shine forth to God and to their neighbor.  The second roses are external souls: the little

good that they do is done on the outside for all to see.  Their petals are fully opened; that

is, they do not have God and His Love as their sole aim.  And where this does not exist,

the petals (that is, the virtues) are weakly attached.  As soon as even a gentle breeze of

pride comes along, the petals fall to the ground-likewise for pleasure, self-love and

human respect.”  (vol. 5, 10/2/1903)

      “...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)

      “...in the interior souls there should not be disturbance.  And if it enters there, it is

because they come out of themselves, and doing so, they act as executioners of

themselves.  By going out of herself, the soul holds on to so many things that do not

benefit her and that are not God, and sometimes, even things which do not look after

the true well-being of the soul.  Wherefore, by returning to herself and carrying things

which are extraneous, the soul tears herself from herself, and with that she comes to 

weaken herself and weaken Grace.  For this reason always stay in yourself, and you will

always be calm.” (vol. 3, 8/31/1900)

        “...why are you looking for Me outside of yourself - as you could more easily find Me

in yourself?  When you want to find Me, enter into yourself, reach into your

nothingness....” (vol. 3, 8/3/1900)

        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….”

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.”

The Veil - updated

 Tues. 3/28/95 7:30AM (two years after coming into the Catholic Church)

Adoration Chapel at St. Paul of the Cross, N. Palm Bch FL -

While praying with my eyes closed, a bright light filled my vision. From the light I saw what appeared to be a very large chair with a high back and side arms. It was as though looking through a fog of light. I then could see, very vaguely, an outline of a person engulfed in the light. As the light was so bright, I could not see clearly. At first, I doubted what I was seeing.  Then my mind began to think of our heavenly Father and I fell into a prayer to Him. I then said to Him, "How can people not know that you are their Father, our Daddy. How can they think of you as being anything other than that (thinking about people who had been calling him Father-Mother).” Jesus himself told us in the Lord’s Prayer – “Our Father”. I continued to think that this was my imagination even as I continued seeing this vision before me. It startled me to hear Him say to me, "Love them as I love them." I then thought that this was possibly the enemy trying to trick me so I immediately prayed to cast out any evil spirits, but it just stayed there before my eyes. A little while later I heard, “The veil will soon come down!”  For some reason I didn't want to listen as I could feel that He was going to say something else, so I began praying again. He again said, "The veil will soon come down. Then you will see wonders as you have never seen.  Moments later He said, “I Am, (slight pause) Yahweh.”

All of this must have taken about 20 minutes. It was as if in slow motion. His voice was so very tender and loving! He spoke very slowly and clearly. My body felt as though I were no longer there in the chapel, but when someone came in the door, I was aware of their presence.   After I left the chapel, throughout Mass and for some time later, my body felt "numb". I have felt the peace of Our Lord before, but never anything quite like this. During Mass at the elevation of the Host, I saw a light come out of the back of the Host, facing Fr. Art. After communion, extremely bright lights were flashing in my head mostly coming from the right side and many shadows appeare

Late that night:  My husband had asked me for this message (above) and while reading it said he didn't understand what "The veil will soon come down" meant. We had just prayed for an answer when a Bishop speaking on EWTN showed a picture of Pope Leo XIII. There was a lady in the picture who was wearing a veil on her head - her hands were on the veil looking as though she were going to pull it down over her face. The Bishop went on to explain that this represented a death approaching or that Rome or a civilization was coming to an end, or that there was going to be a new time approaching.

Jan 2, 2020 – From Vol. 19, July 23, 1926:

“each knowledge contains Life, if the veil of each knowledge is broken, they will find in it, as queen, the Life of my Will.  The more they take and do, the more the Life of my Will will grow in them.”

Vol. 33, Nov. 24, 1935

“My Divinity itself in descending from Heaven in earth, veiled itself with my Humanity. Oh! If creatures might possess as Life my Will, immediately they would have known Me, because He himself would have revealed who I was, my Volition in her and that same Divine Volition in Me they would have immediately known, loved each other, they would have made crowds around Me, nor would they have been able to separate from Me, recognizing me under the likeness of their covering - the Eternal Word, He who loved them so much, that he had dressed himself as one of them. So that I would have had no need to manifest myself, my Will residing in them, would have revealed Me, nor would I have been able to hide myself instead I had to tell them who I was, and how many did not believe Me? Therefore even to such that my Will doesn’t reign in creatures everything is veiled, the Sacraments themselves, that more than (a) new Creation with so much love I left in my Church, are veiled for them, how many surprises, how many beautiful secrets, and marvelous things a veiled pupil impedes (one) from understanding, from seeing, from tasting, more so that this veil is the human volition that forms and impedes her from seeing the things that are in herself. Whence my Will reigning in creatures as life will take away this veil and all things will be revealed, and then they will see the caresses that we make them through means of created things, the kisses, the loving embraces, in every single created thing they will feel our ardent heartbeat that loves them, They will see Our Life flow in the Sacraments in order to give itself continually to them and they will feel the need of giving themselves to Us. This         will be the great prodigy that my Divine Will will do, to break all the veils, to abound with unheard of graces, to take possession of souls as proper life, in a way that no one will be able to resist him and thus he will have his kingdom upon the earth.” 

Jesus expedite and complete that which You say and want and your Will be done as in Heaven so in earth.               Deo Gratias!/Thanks be to God!
