Mar. 5/16, 3:50pm, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament
(humble surrender = deeper holiness)
O My most holy People. You are holy you know because you were made
in My Image and Likeness and I AM HOLY.
Do not shy away from endeavoring to become
holier. Not that I haven’t made you in
the perfection of holy, but rather I beg you to endeavor to remain holy and
sometimes we step aside from that goal and then have to renew our efforts to
become holier.
Do not run away but return to Me with a
humble contrite heart That is how we
renew our holiness --- become holier, --- after we have fallen out of holiness.
Become holier does not mean that you can
better My Grace with which I have made you.
No. NO. Rather it means becoming
holier especially after we have fallen away.
I want My People to remain in holiness --- to dig into the Holy of
Holies and sup from the Graces abiding there.
You are not meant to be holier than another
person. You are meant to seek a higher
holiness seeking and using the Graces I want to pour over you today.
It is not a competition to become holier;
it is a humble striving to seek and use My Holy Graces. It has nothing to do with trying to surpass
Me or others. It has all to do with
seeking to find the happiness and end goal for your soul.
Stay close to Me and you will remain in
holiness, yet never tire of seeking to be closer and closer to Me and you can
only do this by surrendering more and more of you to Me.
We only become holier when we are willing,
joyfully willing, to surrender more and more of ourselves to God.
I know you know that you have not
surrendered all of you to Me. And I wait
patiently. I wait with a smile and with
encouragement. I want you to know that I
want to help you with this effort of surrendering.
When you begin to link the fact that
surrendering will bring you to deeper holiness, then perhaps you will be able
to surrender more to Me. If you are
seeking to be holy, then be most willing to humbly surrender more and more to
Me.
