HEAVEN’S MESSAGES TO LUZ DE MARIA

MESSAGE OF SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
TO LUZ DE MARIA
MAY 1, 2024

Beloved children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ,

I COME TO YOU BY TRINITARIAN WILL, IN COMMAND OF THE HEAVENLY LEGIONS. I PROTECT YOU WITH MY HEAVENLY LEGIONS.

Humanity is being persecuted by the legions of evil in their desire to steal souls as their spoils. Our struggle does not let up, being continual in the defense of souls.

You are beginning the month of May dedicated to Our Queen and Most Holy Mother – A MONTH OF FIERCE TRIALS FOR HUMANITY. THE FORCES OF EVIL WILL TEST HUMAN BEINGS, CHILDREN OF OUR QUEEN AND MOTHER, WHOM THE DEVIL FROM HELL IS PERSECUTING WITHOUT ADMITTING DEFEAT. (cf. Gen 3:15; Rev. 12:1-9)

IN THIS MONTH OF SPECIAL PRAYER TO OUR QUEEN AND MOTHER, THE DEVIL’S PLAN IS TO BRING DOWN THE GREATEST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF SOULS, AND WITH HIS PRIDE AND ARROGANCE, HE WILL TEMPT THE HUMAN RACE AS NEVER BEFORE, IN ORDER TO TAKE WITH HIM SOULS THAT ARE LUKEWARM AND WEAK IN FAITH.

Faced with this constant threat, I call you to remain firm in your faith, being humble. (James 4:6-10) So many of you are wondering: How do I stay firm in the faith? and I say to you: by being humble and continuing to give pride of place to your love for God and neighbor. (cf. Mt. 22:37-39)

So many of God’s creatures have filled themselves with envy and hatred and are losing everything that Our King and Lord Jesus Christ gave them in order that they would testify to Our King and Lord Jesus Christ. They are losing the opportunity that they had in being chosen, due to the pride that feeds on their arrogance. How Heaven grieves over this, how it grieves!

Children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ,

How much will be fulfilled in this race towards disaster for humanity!

Pain and betrayal will lead to the invasion of Italy in this time of war. From there pain and blood will flow to other countries. I call on you not to forget what has been announced to you and to keep watching the Balkans.

NOW IS THE TIME WHEN THE DEVIL WILL SUCCEED IN REMOVING FROM THE DIVINE PLANS SOME PEOPLE CALLED TO BE PART OF THOSE PLANS, DUE TO THEIR WORKS AND BEHAVIOR, WHICH ARE ALMOST UNCONSCIOUS, AND THEIR HARDNESS OF HEART. THEY WILL SUFFER WHEN THEY SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WITH THEIR HARDENED FREE WILL. THIS IS WHY OUR KING AND LORD JESUS ​​CHRIST CALLS YOU TO BE CHILDREN WITH A HEART OF FLESH AND TO BE CREATURES OF FAITH.

In the midst of the war, an unthinkable catastrophe will occur that will weaken the war itself. I am warning you by Divine Order. Paris will rise up in revolution and will be without the attraction for which humanity used to come to this country.

As the war between nations will lead to a religious war, Our Queen and Mother is attentive to all her children, being the Mother who will defend the children of her Son.

England will suffer in the midst of the war; it will suffer what it did not even imagine and will be affected by the lack of water.

Pray, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, pray for your brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico: they will suffer due to an earthquake.

Pray, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, pray for your brothers and sisters in the United States: the earthquake is approaching.

Pray, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, pray for hearts of stone that are incapable of asking for forgiveness.

Pray, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, pray for your brothers and sisters who do not believe in or obey Our King and Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, pray for your brothers and sisters in Haiti and Jamaica: they will be flooded.

Pray, children of Our King and Lord Jesus Christ, pray for your brothers and sisters in Brazil and Argentina: people will rise up in revolts.

Pray to Our Queen and Mother: pray with strength, not forgetting that prayer achieves what the human race considers impossible. The prophecies are subject to humanity’s response. You are heard if you respond as Heaven asks.

KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN MEN THINK THAT THEY HAVE THE STRENGTH AND POWER TO DOMINATE THE GREATER PART OF HUMANITY BY FORCE, THE MOST HOLY TRINITY WILL “DISARM THE POWERFUL AND EXALT THE HUMBLE” (Lk. 1:51- 52) WITH A SINGLE GLANCE.

Our Queen and Mother is Mother of all humanity: welcome her with love. Our Queen is the intercessor of humanity, which is why from this month onwards, greater action by evil against humanity is to be anticipated.

Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention!

With My Sword raised in defense of God’s children,

Saint Michael the Archangel

COMMENTARY OF LUZ DE MARIA

Brothers and sisters,

At the end of the Message of Saint Michael the Archangel, I was allowed to see how human hardness manages to scorn Heaven itself. At the same time I saw Our Blessed Mother being loved and venerated by many people, but in insufficient numbers. Our Mother showed me various scenes of conflicts almost throughout the Earth, while saying to me:

“Beloved daughter, tell your brothers and sisters to pray without ceasing, tell them to believe in My Divine Son and tirelessly adore Him.”

Our Mother then showed me how children are being led to perdition, with sin being brought before them earlier, so that childhood would be lost. She showed me people living in lust and being so dependent on it that their bodies give off a disgusting smoke. She showed me her illuminated Heart and I asked her about this light – so different from what I had seen previously, and Our Mother explained to me:

“Beloved daughter, this light is the light of My Love for all humanity; it is the light of My Call to all humanity, removing the darkness from My children who so desire, although My children’s free will has chosen darkness.

Beloved daughter, this month is a month of testing, coming both from nature and from man himself. Supervolcanoes are a constant threat to all humanity and this has been forgotten; the elements will assail humanity. I therefore call you to pray and each one of you must offer up what is most difficult for you in terms of your actions, works and personal sacrifice, so that peace may spread among your brothers and sisters and thereby diminish the action of the Devil.

This means that each of My children should offer as a personal sacrifice that which they lack the most: if this is love, they should sacrifice themselves and be loving towards their neighbor. If they do not believe in My Divine Son, they should make an effort and undertake to know and love Him. If they are hard-hearted, their offering should be that of being soft-hearted. All this is necessary: all humanity will experience a test of faith, which I must not tell in advance.”

I bless all My children, Our Queen and Mother told me. And placing her Hand on the globe, she looked at me and whispered:

“My little children, how I love you and how disobedient you are!”

June 1, 2023 – Totus Tuus Evangelization Network (TTEN) Interview with Father Donald Calloway – Consecration to Saint Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father – Review by A Soul – MaryRefugeOfSouls

/ a soul

June 13, 2023
Dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of JESUS
Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Blessings dearly beloved ones,

I, “a soul”, of MaryRefugeOfSouls, have just watched a phenomenal TTEN interview with Father Don Calloway, MIC, that I want to highly recommend that everyone watch. He is a very famous holy priest who belongs to the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary in the USA, which is the religious order that promotes the Divine Mercy devotion given to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska of Poland. In this interview, Fr Don speaks about his book, Consecration to St Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father, which is impacting hearts, inspiring minds, touching lives, and converting souls to God.

I loved this interview, because Fr Don answered a lot of challenging questions about Saint Joseph, including myths and legends formed throughout the centuries about him, our Holy Mother Mary, and the Holy Family. So, Fr Don talks about ancient Jewish marriage customs; the meaning of “firstborn” among the brothers and sisters of Christ mentioned in the Holy Bible; and whether Saint Joseph was young or old when he married the Blessed Virgin Mary, etc.

It is interesting to hear dear father’s thoughts about Saint Joseph, especially, about his uniqueness as he was chosen to be the model of manhood for the young Messiah (JESUS). I loved learning how Saint Joseph is the “Light bearer” for the Savior of the world and how traditionally, he is called, the “Light of Patriarchs”. Patriarchs means “fathers”, so this is another way of saying how Saint Joseph is the “Light of Fathers”, which is so desperately needed today.

Called, “Terror of demons”, Fr Don believes that this powerful title for Saint Joseph is rooted in his parenthood and in his purity. Clearly, powerful devotions to Saint Joseph have been held back until our modern age, when both parenthood, especially, fatherhood is under so many attacks, as well as purity among both men and women, etc. Dear father talks about the various devotions and prayers to Saint Joseph found in the book, which have been truly transformational by delivering those suffering from mortal sins due to impurity, etc. I also loved learning how Saint Joseph is our spiritual father and the patron saint who helps us in everything. So, he is not just a patron saint for a particular need, but he is powerful in helping us with everything in our lives, including our transition to the afterlife, a happy death.

I hope everyone will enjoy learning more about Saint Joseph and his importance within Holy Mother Church in this very edifying and inspirational interview with Fr Don Calloway.

God bless,
A Soul

30th October 2018
From the Eternal Father

My son,

Listen and write

I recommend (translation) that this message be communicated to everyone and everywhere that you have preached in United States and in Canada.

Remember the night when Padre Pio brought you into Heaven to see the Holy Family. It was a teaching for you and for the people who have heard you. It was also a sign to recall the night when my Beloved Son Jesus was born into the world.

Remember how my Evangelist Matthew wrote by the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit how the star stopped over the place where My Baby Son Jesus was born. It was a sign for the Wise men. Today, it is a sign for you and for all Christians and for all the nations.

The Holy Family is a sign for every family, and we should model ourselves after them. I recommend (translation) that every family, who receives this message, should have a representation of the Holy Family in their home. It can be an Icon or a statue of the Holy Family, or a permanent Manger in a center place in the home. The representation must be blessed and consecrated by a priest.

As the star, followed by the Wise men, stopped over the Manger, the chastisement from the sky will not hit the Christians families devoted and protected by the Holy Family. The fire from the sky is a chastisement for the horrible crime of abortion and the culture of death, the sexual perversion, and the cupidity (lust) regarding the identity of man and woman. My children seek their perverted sins more than Eternal life. The increasing blasphemies and persecution of my just people offend Me. The Arm of my Justice will come now. They do not hear my Divine Mercy. I must now let many plagues happen in order to save the most people that I can from the slavery of Satan.

Send this message to everyone. I have given Saint Joseph, My representative on earth, as a protector of the Holy Family, the authority to protect the Church which is the body of Christ. He will be the protector during the trials of this time. The Immaculate Heart of My daughter Mary and the Sacred Heart of my Beloved Son Jesus, with the Chaste and Pure Heart of Saint Joseph, will be the shield of your home, your family, and your Refuge during the events to come.

My Words are my blessing over all of you. Whoever will act according to my Will, will be safe. The powerful love of the Holy Family will be manifested to all.

I AM your Father,
These words are Mine!

MESSAGE FROM THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
TO HER BELOVED DAUGHTER LUZ DE MARÍA
OCTOBER 5, 2018

Beloved children of My Immaculate Heart:

I RECEIVED YOU AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, MY CHILDREN, ALL OF YOU WITHOUT EXCEPTION, I LOVE YOU WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

EVEN IF NOT ALL MY CHILDREN VIEW ME AS THEIR MOTHER, I RECEIVED YOU ALL BY DIVINE WILL.

Beloved children, with pain for My Son, I must tell you that the devil does not need to tempt you so much because man is ready to sin in order to be well-received within society.

THE ATTITUDE OF THOSE WHO ASSAULT THE CHURCHES IS THE SAME ATTITUDE OF THOSE WHO SCULPTED AND WORSHIPED PAGAN GODS WHEN THEY BELIEVED THAT GOD THE FATHER WAS NOT LOOKING AT THEM (cf. Ex 32,1-9), INDULGING DISORDERED APPETITES THAT CAUSED THEM TO ACT WORSE THAN ANIMALS.

By Divine Will, you continue to receive this Revelation, although there are few who pay attention and take with seriousness and gratitude what is revealed to them.

This generation, in some cases, is facing the harmful result of man’s intervention to alter the normal course of Nature, so that man himself has seen to it that Nature, with all its force, is a constant scourge for Humanity.

Nature does not recognize man who has destroyed and invaded it, and it acts upon Humanity, but some scientifically inexplicable phenomena have been caused by the alteration that man is bringing about in the desperate struggle to dominate the elements and with them to affect the nations pitilessly.

The Trinitarian Heart is gravely offended by the actions of those who are followers of the devil, who is the enemy of the Most Holy Trinity.

MAN DOES NOT REGARD THE DEVIL WITH MISTRUST, BUT FOLLOWS HIM WITH PLEASURE AND OBEYS HIM, ACTING CONTRARY TO THE DIVINE WILL. DURING THE WARNING, MAN WILL LIVE FOR SECONDS IN SOLITUDE, WITHOUT GOD, AND “THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND GRINDING OF TEETH”…

This generation does not recognize its grave errors and sins; it is a follower of the devil and confronts God with disrespect and arrogance, provoking a new punishment for itself. They have broken the Commandments and have come to distort them, behaving like degenerates and enemies of God.

They live loving lust; therefore the plague will come and they will feel their flesh burning. Those who live in God will recognize that it comes from God and those who despise the Divine will blaspheme all the more.

YOU MUST NOT FORGET THAT “HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH” (Ps. 121,2). Do not forget the medicines that, as Mother, I have given to you so that you have them at hand and with them manage to overcome these diseases and others that the demons will allow to fall upon Humanity.

My Son’s People are ever more rebellious, so much so that scandals come to light that are caused, in some cases, by those who have chosen the priesthood as a profession and not by vocation. To console My Heart, I still have faithful priests who carry out their pastoral and ministerial work with devotion. Freemasonry has long ago set out to infiltrate houses of formation, all in order to prepare its domain and degrade the People of My Son at this instant.

I see you following false gods… The places of public assembly in towns and cities are saturated when one of these gods comes to hurl expletives against My Son and against Me with songs that are blasphemous, shameful, poison for the souls of those who participate in the said acts, and these places are filled with My lost and wayward children. On the contrary, when an instrument of the Divine Will is announced, those who rise up against him[her] are some of My favored sons, bishops, vicars and priests, in order that the People do not attend, without first taking the time to analyze the instrument. This, My children, is part of satan’s strategy: the fewer calls there are to change your lives, the more possibilities there are for souls to be lost.

Beloved children of My Immaculate Heart:

THE ELEMENTS ARE GAINING IN STRENGTH AND BESETTING HUMANITY. THE ONSLAUGHTS OF NATURE ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND THEIR FORCE IS UNRECOGNIZABLE. Not only are coastal areas in danger, but water will come out of the earth in the midst of some cities as if it were a torrent.

EARTHQUAKES OF GREAT INTENSITY ARE FEARED AND YOU WILL FACE THEM AMIDST THE PAIN OF MY CHILDREN.

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IS GREATLY INTENSIFYING SEQUENTIALLY.

THE MIND OF MAN IS BECOMING AGITATED AND CONFLICTS ARE APPROACHING WITH THE FESTIVITIES.

Do not disparage the prayer of the Holy Rosary for the whole world and especially for My children of Mexico, Central America, Indonesia and the United States.

The earth cracks and the volcanoes roar forcefully.

My children maintain their faith in saving their souls in My Son who loves them and in this Mother who does not rest from announcing to them that they must convert.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT LISTEN, I WILL NOT SILENCE MY VOICE, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

I bless you, I remain before you, you are My children.

Mother Mary

SPECIAL COMMENTARY:
The Reason Why Many People Have Difficulty With Their Prayers Being Answered By God

By a soul
(July 5, 2018, Month of the Precious Blood of Jesus)

I want to do this short writing to help people who are having difficulty having their prayers answered by God or feel distant in their relationship to God. I do not consider myself to be an expert on holy matters, but I have had some mystical experiences in my life and I have a very real, close, personal relationship with My Love, Jesus, and His Blessed Mother. This does not mean that I am having mystical experiences all the time, but rather I feel a definite closeness to God and I have had the experience of many prayers being answered. And so, I want to do this writing for everyone, because the type of relationship that I have with Jesus and the Blessed Mother is not supposed to be only available to me or a select few. Rather, everyone is meant to have a close, loving, active relationship with God and is supposed to experience the “miraculous” in their life with answered prayers. In fact, everyone is called to be a Saint before God, but the problem is, most people do not know what they are doing wrong—why their prayers are left unanswered and why their relationship with God feels distant and cold.

So, my hope is that this writing will help people become closer to God and have more likelihood that their prayers will be answered. I hope that many people are blessed by my words.

Now, there is a reason why God the Father emphasizes in so many messages each week at Holy Love Ministries (http://www.holylove.org) about obeying the Ten Commandments. There is also a reason why in the past, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the Blessed Mother have shared many times why so many souls who sincerely strive to follow the spiritual journey of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary are stuck in the First Chamber and have not advanced far in their personal holiness.

The reason is the same: they are in grievous – potentially mortal – sin – and they are not aware of it. Of course, I am not passing judgment on any particular person or group of people, and actually, I am well-aware that followers of this blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove, are the prayer warriors of their families and so, my words may not apply necessarily to my readers—as they are the exceptions—but, I am going to present to some scary statistics so as to put my words into perspective. Statistics that will likely shock many of my current readership. These statistics are based on recent polls on U.S. Catholics (2014-2017), so if you live in a different country, it may be different—so, please keep that in mind.

Now, according to polls, 39% of U.S. Catholics attend Holy Mass every Sunday. (See article: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/catholics-attending-mass-gallup-study_us_5acd082ae4b06a6aac8c7506) This statistic is important, because despite liberal-thinking among many Catholic priests, it continues to be a mortal sin if one misses one Sunday Mass without a legitimate excuse (i.e., sickness, care-giving, etc.). Keeping the Sabbath (Sunday) holy is the Third Commandment and so, if you do not attend Sunday Mass, your soul is in mortal sin. Many priests today deny this ancient teaching, but God and His Truth never changes. So, if we were to randomly place one hundred (100) U.S. Catholics in a room, only 39 of them would be potentially in a state of grace.

Now, let’s go to the next statistic.

According to polls, 13% of U.S. Catholics who attend Sunday Mass every week think that artificial contraception (birth control) is morally wrong. On the flip-side, that means that 87% of people who attend Sunday Mass say that birth control is acceptable or not a moral issue. (See article: https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2016/09/28/poll-finds-many-us-catholics-breaking-church-over-contraception-abortion-and-lgbt) Now, why is this important? This is important to know because just by believing that birth control is acceptable or not a moral issue, is a mortal sin to God. Sin can be committed in both thought, word, or deed. It does not matter if someone might be past child-bearing years or not engaged in marital relations. Just by believing that artificial birth control is morally permissible is a mortal sin to God. Remember, in Jesus’ words, adultery first begins with the thought of lust towards another. Believing in artificial contraception breaks the Sixth Commandment – “You shall not commit adultery”. And when you break one commandment, you are potentially liable to God for breaking all Ten Commandments. (See Sacred Scripture: Book of James, Chapter 2, Verse 10: “For whoever keeps the whole law, but falls short in one particular, has become guilty in respect to all of it.”)

So, what does this mean for our statistical count? Out of one hundred (100) U.S. Catholics attending Sunday Mass every week, only 5 of them are potentially in a state of grace with God! Because only about 13% of the 39% attending weekly Sunday Mass in the general U.S. Catholic population believe that artificial contraception is morally wrong.

Now, here is another scary statistic for my blog readers to consider. According to polls, only 2% of all U.S. Catholics attend monthly or more frequent Confession (Sacrament of Reconciliation). (See chart: https://cara.georgetown.edu/reconciliation.pdf) Monthly Confession is an important gauge, because the Blessed Mother said at Medjugorje that monthly Confession would heal the West and for me, personally, I have found that without monthly or more frequent Confession, my faith becomes lukewarm and I easily fall into mortal sin (I can be horrible sometimes at keeping Sunday holy). So, I attend Confession 1-3 times a month, because I have found this necessary for me to stay in a state of grace. Perhaps, people can “get away” with a less frequent habit – I do not know – but, I am trusting the words of Our Lady of Medjugorje on the need for monthly Confession for everyone. So, I believe that monthly Confession is not only necessary for staying in a state of grace, but also for increasing in personal holiness.

And so, what does that mean for our statistical count? If I have done the math right, that means that only 5 people for every 100 people sitting in the pews every Sunday for Holy Mass are attending Confession on a regular basis. Yes, dear blog readers, that means about the similar number of people who believe artificial contraception is morally wrong (5 people) is also the similar number of people who attend monthly Confession (5 people). And in truth, they are probably the same exact people and likely these same people are ones who are also obeying the rest of the Ten Commandments, etc.

So, to put this in a nutshell, about 2 people out of every one hundred (100) U.S. Catholics is potentially in a state of grace. This equates to about 5 people out of every one hundred (100) U.S. Catholics attending Sunday Mass each week who are potentially in a state of grace before God. Now, I do not mean to scare everyone reading this commentary of mine, but if only 2 people out of every one hundred (100) Catholics is potentially in a state of grace before God, do you even wonder why many people are not having their prayers answered or feel distant and cold in their relationship with God?

I am going to state something that people need to understand in general and is not being taught by our Catholic priests on the pulpits. This is a divine truth – God cannot bless your life if you are in a state of mortal sin. At least, God cannot bless your life in ways that He would like to, because by your own free will, you are keeping yourself distant from Him by not obeying His Ten Commandments. The most important thing to God is your eternal salvation. And if you are in a state of mortal sin, it does not matter what you are praying for, the most important thing to God is getting your soul back into a state of grace with Him. So, whatever prayer intentions you are offering to God, He will only answer those that will somehow help to bring you to conversion and returning to a state of grace before Him.

Now, that does not mean that your prayers are being said in vain! No, I do not mean that at all. But, you have to recognize that the top priority—the number one goal for God is that you do not loose your soul to hell. So, as long as you remain in a state of mortal sin, that is all God is caring about and all of Heaven is focusing their efforts on you—to get you back into a right spiritual state with God. Yes, prayers will be answered, but only if they have the goal in the end of fixing your eternal relationship with God.

However, once you make the firm commitment to obeying the Ten Commandments—and I mean rooting out all the areas where there are gaps and holes in which satan is attacking you—then, you will start to be blessed by God in other ways and have prayers beyond conversion being answered. It is only once you are working on your personal holiness in each present moment by firmly rooting out sin from your life and maintaining a state of grace, that you will begin to experience a deeper closeness in your relationship to Jesus, His Blessed Mother, and Papa God; thus, starting to advance beyond the First Chamber in the spiritual journey given at Holy Love Ministries.

Now, again, I do not claim to be an expert on holy matters. Also, I do not know which Sacred Chamber that my soul resides according to the spiritual journey at Holy Love. However, those things are irrelevant. The fact is, I did not start experiencing miracles in my life until I started really attacking aggressively all the areas of sin in my life. Honestly, there was a point in my life where satan had a firm grip on me due to the sin of lust, but when I made the firm commitment to stop placing myself in damnable situations and to remain single for the Kingdom of God, I started to experience miracles – real supernatural events—almost immediately in my life. It was amazing.

That is not to say that everyone should stay single—no, marriage is still a good and holy vocation for people—but many people are damning themselves through sins of the flesh, both in and out of marriage. And, personally, for me, I realized that I had to stay single, because the temptation to lust was too great otherwise. So, in order to save my soul from damnation (because I am a weak sinner), I chose to remain permanently single for God.

Before I conclude this commentary, there are other areas that people need to consider addressing, so they can become closer to God and become more holy. The first is beliefs that are contrary to Christianity. People need to really consider what they believe in and whether such beliefs are compatible with Christianity. In particular, I speak about the theory of evolution. I am not going to delve into why evolution is wrong—that is beyond the scope of this commentary—but, people need to understand that the theory of evolution is false and if you believe in it, then you need to purge that type of thinking from your mind. Because if you do not correct your beliefs on evolution during this lifetime, then you will go to Purgatory for believing in evolution to purge this thinking after you die. Simply put, God Is the Creator and God Is Truth. Evolution is false and will not hold up to the Light of Truth when you are exposed to this falsehood of your thinking at your particular judgment before Jesus. So, if you believe in evolution, or liberalism, or globalism, or environmentalism, or many other modern “isms” (theories), really, study the facts of the Christian arguments and truly, reconsider your beliefs. You are going to save yourself time in Purgatory and as you cling more to God and Traditional Christianity, the deeper your personal holiness will be in this lifetime and the more you will experience the Presence of God in your life. So, examine yourself in these areas, because it will only benefit you and not harm you. I speak based on my personal experience of once believing in all of these theories and changing on all my beliefs. Truly, the more that I have clung to God, the more that He has revealed Himself to me.

The other two areas that I would like people to reconsider in their lives where sin may be seeping in is the use of television and people’s manner of dress. Firstly, regarding television, I gave up TV almost twenty years ago and I have not regretted this decision at all. I might see a Christian film once or twice a year in the movie theaters, or look occasionally at an online video, but I am choosing which images that I am placing in my mind and not having a television do it for me. There is a reason that St. Padre Pio called the television, “satan’s tabernacle,” so many years ago and how much worse is it now today!

And secondly, people need to reconsider their manner of dress. I am a woman and I understand the feminine desire to look nice, but I am very conservative in my clothing, being very conscious of contributing to any occasion of sin for anyone. I live in California and yet, I always cover-up my legs and I wear sleeves that are at least covering my elbows. I also live near the beach, but I never go swimming, because almost all modern-day beach attire (swimsuits) are inappropriate and very immodest. I read an article once about a Muslim woman who was rejected publicly from a beach because of her modest attire. I was appalled by many people’s reactions, because honestly, that Muslim woman was more appropriately dressed for the beach than they were barely wearing anything. In my heart, I know that God was with that Muslim woman and not the many people who were publicly ridiculing her. Sadly, many of those people might even claim to be Christians.

And so, I hope that this commentary helps many people. I know that much of what I have said might be controversial for some, but I am writing this commentary based on personal experience on what has worked for me in bringing me closer to God and having my prayers answered by Him. The simple truth is, the more that we cling to God and His Ten Commandments by living them truly in our lives, the more heavenly doors open and miraculous things start happening. I want everyone to have a close relationship with Jesus and His Blessed Mother. I want everyone to have their prayers answered and experience the miraculous in their lives. So, I share my thoughts and observations of things in this writing, because I see the things that are holding people back spiritually and I want to help people overcome their spiritual obstacles.

Even yesterday, God the Father said at Holy Love that He desires all people to embrace a relationship with Him. That Papa God desires to have the same type of intimate relationship that He has with Maureen Sweeney-Kyle – the visionary at Holy Love – with everyone. So, I hope that this writing of mine is a step in that direction for many people.

God bless!

NOTE: Although I have quoted scary statistics in this commentary, I do leave it open to God to determining the exact numbers of who is in a state of grace or not at any given moment. In messages from both Jesus and the Blessed Mother, They have indicated that about 10% of the world population is holy and righteous with God, with another 5% being on the cusp of loosing their souls to hell, and the rest 85% in definite mortal sin. However, Catholics are held to a higher standard than other Christians and people in general, because They are exposed to the fullness of God’s Truth in His Beloved Church. However, many Catholics are ignorant today of the basic teachings of the Faith, and so, I do believe that Jesus takes that fact into account at people’s particular judgment. Thus, more people may be in a state of grace than the horrible numbers that I am quoting in this commentary. But, one thing is for certain—our Catholic priests should know and be aware of everything that I have said in this commentary—about missing one Sunday Mass being a mortal sin and how belief in artificial contraception is a mortal sin. So, our Catholic priests are being held to a very high and strict accountability to God for all the ignorant Catholics in the pews not being told the Truth. Our Catholic priests really need our prayers! Lord, have Mercy!
