“Seldom do people say, ‘I love You, God, in every way.’ Seldom do children react to the beauty of fact His Way. Seldom do men say, ‘Your Will alone, my God, in every way.’ Seldom do children trust in the total manner, means and way. But I say to you now from the Heavens Where I am, ‘I want children to begin to listen, to learn and to act upon a Gift from The Father, firsthand — Faith.’
What is Faith? Faith is a Gift of belief. Faith is a Gift of hope. Faith is a Gift of strength. Faith is a Gift of humility. Faith is a Gift of service. Faith is a Gift of obedience. Faith is a Gift of love, love in a way that extends to every fiber of the body. Faith is truly God’s Love for man, but it is man’s love for God also.
And now I say to you another Lesson. I, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, want you to think much on this next word, ‘will’. You say: ‘I will do this. I will not do this. I will these things to be done my way. I will not have these things done another way. I will send this object, letter, decree, and I expect an answer.’ Man’s will is limited by man.
Now I say: ‘This is the true meaning of your will for The Holy Trinity: The heart of your whole being is the will of doing, not doing; accepting, rejecting truth, untruth. The heart, the motor that keeps the physical going is a parallel to the will, for in reality, the will is the heart of your action, mental, Spiritual, yes, and even physical. But the motor, the heart of the body, has been designed by The Father to pump, pump, pump, and extend the motion for the body, to sustain it. And now, the will, the heart of all the other parts of the human way: Think of your will as the heart of action, motivation, light, hope, sound, love. Think of your will as the motor of intention, the motor of submission to Divine Will.’
I have spoken in terms you are not used to hearing, but I want you to hear this Revealing again and to think about It, for you walk in two hearts today: one, the one that sustains the body; the other, that sustains everything you are, everything you do, and what you think.
I bless you from the Heavens and I say: ‘You are gifted children in many ways for you have Faith, a Gift from The Father: Faith to believe in What He Is, How He Would Work, How He Stands, and the Goal of your life, and the Goal for your life to be. You have a will, the heart of your life, a heart of everything you stand for.’ Remember these two things from now on. So be it.”
