“Today ‘The Little Flower’ was talking about the necessity of pure thinking, purity of mind and purity of body that is no longer stressed in any facet of human life. People have succumbed to erratic thinking, and of course, impurities in every form. She said it brings so much sadness to The Father that if we were to see His Face we could not bear to even think impurely.
She was talking about the problems in the convents sometimes, when the nuns would mistreat each other by harsh words, and how difficult it was to live under those conditions when there was some animosity in the midst, and yet they were then corrected by the Mother Superior and she would try to bring order.
She talked about the time in which you and I live, the time when there is so much permissiveness, so much promiscuity, so much lack of understanding of God’s Rules, so many children being misled by adults, so many children misleading smaller children, and she said: ‘The world is in chaos, the world has many problems, but men do not stop and think before they speak, nor do women stop and think before they act as example to each other, to children, and of course, to men in their midst.
‘The lack of dignity is prevalent throughout the world. Respect has gone by the wayside, and decency is no longer even on the lips of the older ones. People take for granted that they must be part of the corruption in the world; they must fight in that manner in order to get their way.
‘Tell the daughters, when you speak, that God does not ask them not to enjoy life, but He does ask them to live a pure life which would be far more enjoyable than an impure life.’
As I speak through this woman in the world I want you to know, you are never without Me because of what you have accepted to be part of. Purity must be in your mind, in your words, and yes, in your actions, in your example.
People ignore the idea of purity because they feel if they act purely openly, they will be rejected by others in the world. I, Saint Therese of Lisieux say, ‘Better you be rejected by those in the human way than to allow your Soul to be stopped from coming This Way.’
Do not allow others to intimidate you. Do not allow anyone to lead you the wrong way. The price is too high, and the beauty of understanding God’s Will for you is something you could never buy.
There is no price tag on God’s Love, and as We allowed the child to talk to you about a competitive way,1 there is no competition in walking the path God Wills for each one, for you stand alone, baring your Soul to Him for every thought you have, every step you take, every word you say, every bit of example you display every day.
You are Blessed, My daughters, not in the manner you think, but as I speak to you on this night I say: ‘It is a Blessing to be human. Remember this. It is a Blessing to have Faith God’s Way, and it is truly a Blessing to be taught the Goal that God Intends for each of you to reach one day.’ So be it.”
