“There are some in the world who try very hard to direct men, women and children to believe totally in their own abilities, their own efforts, their own capabilities, their own knowledge. In some ways this is sad, for everything that man, woman or child is involved in, there is always the Presence of a Soul and always the Presence of a Guardian Angel, and there is always communication with these Two Portions, with God.

Little ones should be told of the Importance of life, the Importance of obedience to rules, and the Importance of Faith in God; not information beyond their years but information to instill in their minds the Importance of believing in a Supreme Being, not putting all their faith in mankind.

It is right for them to understand that one human being has more intelligence than another, or I should say, the ability to use the intellect. They must learn to use all they have been given: their will, for what is right; their judgment, to make the right decision; their thoughts, to be pure thoughts; their actions, to be those that would please God and never disgrace their Soul or their Guardian Angel.

Children must be taught rules. Children must understand the Gift of freedom of the will is a Special Gift from God to man.

Adults must understand responsibility. Adults must understand that they must pledge their whole being to following What The Father Wills for the benefit of the Soul that is a Portion of Him.

I am a Saint Who has spoken many, many times through This Great Miracle. I am a Saint Who in the human life was called ‘willful’, but I must correct this statement and take away the connotation that the willfulness was just to please me. That is not so. The willfulness was to please Him. I am Saint Therese of Lisieux.

Children are not being taught the importance of right. They are not being taught the importance of purity. Children are not being taught that their actions are example to all, whether they are in touch with adults or children of all ages.

When a child is taught responsibility, the child listens. The child may not respond immediately, but in the back of the mind the Soul will keep that message evident at all times — responsibility.

A child needs hope. Purity carries hope in its very existence. A pure mind has much hope. There is a place for hope in every human being’s life.

Sometimes, when things were difficult for me, it was my hope to become a Saint that helped me through the difficult hours of the day. I was not always pleased with what I was doing. I was not always pleased with the words others did say, but I found that hope gave me a deep understanding and hope helped take blindness away.

One day when I was in much distress, I remember stamping at the floor, and the stamping turned into a stomp because of the anger I felt because of my own inadequacies, and one of the Sisters walked by and she said, ‘Therese, you are showing a temper tantrum,’ and I said: ‘I beg your pardon; I am sorry if it appeared that way. I am more angry with myself. I could never be this angry with anyone else. I am angry because I did not understand the Ray of Hope I was handed by a Special Means that was not merely man.’

You are Blessed so many times for an Act of Faith. You are Blessed so much by a prayer that goes another’s way. You do not see it, you do not feel it, you do not recognize what has happened, so you go your way; but never forget, there is never a prayer spoken, never a good thought thrown away, passed over, and bear in mind, everything you do passes through your Soul to The Father. You are never alone in any Supernatural Way.

Be blessed, My children, and remember that every day is important, for you get to spend it with a Soul, a Portion of God, and then there’s always that Angel that will help you through the day. So be it.”
