Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, I am not impressed with great and showy efforts in holiness. Do not seek to be seen as holy in the eyes of man. The small, hidden attempts at holiness are lauded as great in My Eyes. The saint whose feast day you celebrate today – the Little Flower – was very successful in that. Small attempts at patience in inconveniences means a great deal to Me. What I am trying to impress upon you, My children, is that dying to self leads to deeper holiness. In this effort, you do not try to impress anyone with your spirituality. Every effort must be between the soul and Myself, for the soul to advance in spirituality. Yet, in so doing, the spirit of the soul will show through.”

“I am appreciative of such efforts and listen attentively to the hidden soul's prayers. Console Me with your efforts in this regard.”

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7+

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
