‘Lower yourself further, thinking about Jesus on Mt. Calvary...’ |
 Message
on June 14, 1987
It was late at night. I was praying and whipping myself, fervently imploring the Blessed Mother. The weeping Blessed Mother embraced me warmly like a close friend and like an elder sister. She spoke with a merciful and soft voice. THE BLESSED MOTHER: Do not brag about anything. Instead, have humility and love. Do not own luxuries. Daughter, let’s live like a pilgrim and a traveler—until you reach the bosom of your Heavenly Mother. Always be poor and little. Serve all in everything all the time. Daughter! While following the footsteps of the Saints for the sake of Jesus, do not concern yourself too much with criticisms. Even when you suffer pains from others, give them peace. Through sacrifices and penance, do the things that can benefit them. Every day, lower yourself further, thinking about Jesus on Mt. Calvary. Through poverty, humility, obedience and purity, keep going down from the high place to the low place following this Mother who wants you to walk the way of perfection. Shouldn’t we become more humble like Jesus, Who chose to be humble? Change your life further—throwing away every attachment. Change your value system. Live a life of conversion. Convert every moment and converse with Jesus. Conversion does not just mean repenting sins. It means trying to live the life that God wants you to live. Abandon the worldly life and live a life based on the Gospels. Live like a lily. As the higher-grade protein gives rise to a more foul odor, the shiny things of the world entail a greater darkness. Let’s die again and imitate Christ. Message on June 15, 1987 The Blessed Mother did not shed tears today, but spoke with a crying voice. THE BLESSED MOTHER: Yes, you make very frequent Confessions. The devils do not lead people to commit mortal sins at first. They make people commit venial sins and, then, when many venial sins have accumulated, mortal sins. Therefore, try to receive Jesus with a clean soul by making frequent Confessions, even when you only have venial sins. Jesus established the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist to nurture us with His Body and Blood, to unite with us, and to resurrect our bodies after death. We must praise this amazing Sacrament, but many souls are becoming unclean by failing to make frequent Confessions. As you would put on freshly washed clothes before meeting a high-ranking person, prepare to receive Our Lord with a clean soul by making frequent Confessions. However hard one may try to keep the soul clean, it cannot remain spotless indefinitely. So, through the Sacrament of Confession, open your eyes and ears and, thereby, open your hearts widely to receive Jesus. The Blessed Mother wept because of sacrilegious Communions.
