IF THERE'S one thing coming soon, it's schism in the Catholic Church. This we know from the messages being relayed to us recently by mystics, with an appeal from Heaven for all to be faithful to the Magisterium of the Church, or the Church's authority or office to give truthful interpretation of the Word of God. Thus, there is admonition for Catholics to get acquainted with Catholic Catechism, with recommendation that it be the one published under St. Pope John Paul II.
With threat to the Magisterium prophesied, the Blessed Mother told mystic Pedro Regis on September 29, 2020 as follows:
"Dear children, I am the Queen of Peace and I have come from Heaven to lead you to the One who is your Sole and True Savior. Open your hearts and accept what comes from the Lord. Do not allow the Devil's darkness to lead you away from the path of salvation. The Lord has sent Me to call you to conversion and holiness. Do not stray from the path that I have pointed out to you. The way of holiness is full of obstacles, but the Lord loves you and will be with you. Courage.
"Turn away from the world and live turned towards Paradise, for which alone you were created. Bend your knees in prayer. Humanity is sick and needs to be healed. You are heading towards a future of doubts and uncertainties. Be faithful to Jesus and His Teachings. Whatever happens, stay with the true Magisterium of the Church of My Jesus. I love you as you are and I ask you to live out My Appeals. You have freedom, but it is best to do God's Will. Onward without fear. I will pray to my Jesus for you. This is the message that I give you today in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. Thank you for having allowed Me to gather you here once more. I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Be at peace." (End of Quote.)
I again proceed to the series sharing excerpts from the Manuscript of Purgatory, the Church-authorized historical publication documenting the conversation between living Sister Mary of the Cross and the deceased Sister Mary Gabriel who was then still languishing in Purgatory.
This time, I quote only Sister Mary Gabriel in her long answer to two questions from Sister Mary of the Cross as follows:
"In Purgatory our only consolation, our only hope is in God alone. On earth, God sometimes allows us to be consoled in our sufferings of soul or body by the heart of a friend, but then again if the love of Jesus does not fill that heart, the consolations are vain.
"Here the souls are lost, drowned as it were, in the Divine Will and God alone can soften their pains. Each soul is tormented according to its guilt, but all have one common sorrow that surpasses all the rest, the absence of Jesus who is our very element, our life, our all. And we are separated from Him through our own fault. After an action you must not waste your time going over it to examine if you have done well or ill. Certainly you must examine your actions each day to be able to do better in the future, but this must not be at the expense of the soul.
"God loves simple souls. You must go to Him, therefore, with goodwill, always ready to sacrifice yourself to please Him. You must act with Jesus as a little child does with its mother, trusting in His goodness and placing all your spiritual and temporal interest with great confidence in His Divine Hands. Having done this, try to please Him in everything without troubling yourself about anything else.
"God does not regard great acts or heroic deeds as much as He does simple actions or small sacrifices, provided these are done with love for Him. Sometimes even a tiny sacrifice, which was known only to God and to the soul, may be far more meritorious than a great one that was loudly applauded.
"One must be very interior in order not to take for oneself any of the praise given one. God seeks souls empty of self so as to fill them with His love. He finds but a few. Self-love leaves no place for Jesus. Do not let any opportunity to mortify self pass by, especially interior mortification. Jesus has many graces to give you during Lent. Therefore, prepare yourself by a redoubling of your fervor, but above all, love Jesus. He is so little loved by the world and so outraged by it. The Blessed Virgin loves you very much. On your part love her with all your heart and do all you can to procure her the greatest possible glory.
"You will never be able to understand well enough the goodness of God. If people only took the trouble to think about it sometimes, it would be enough to make them all saints, but they do not sufficiently know the merciful goodness of the Heart of Jesus in the world. Each one measures it according to his way of thinking and this way is wrong. This is the reason why they pray badly. Yes, very few people pray as Jesus wants them to pray. They are wanting in confidence and yet Jesus only grants our prayers according to the ardor of our desires and the strength of our love. This is why the graces we often ask for remain ineffective....
"There are numbers of useless actions, many days entirely futile, without any love for Jesus or purity of intention. They are all lost since they have no value for Heaven. You do not direct your intention with the purity that God wills. For instance, instead of offering up your actions vaguely, you could do so with much more fruit, if you only made your intention more definite. When you take your meals for example, say, 'O my Jesus nourish my soul with your Divine Grace while I nourish my body.' When you wash your face and hands say, 'My Jesus, purify my soul as I am purifying my body,' and so on, for each of your actions. Accustom yourself to be always speaking heart to heart with Jesus, and let Him be the mainspring of all you do or say. Do you understand me?
"You must never excuse yourself. What difference does it make to you whether others think you guilty if you are innocent? And if you see that you have failed in any way, humble yourself and keep silence. Never excuse yourself even in your own thoughts." (To be continued)
