Self-Love

Guards reputation (attacks reputation of those they see as rivals.) Is holy for appearances' sake. Is willing to compromise the precept of Holy Love for the sake of money. Considers own opinion and authority always right and above anyone else. Holy Love

Is concerned with only his reputation in God's eyes. Strives to be holy for holiness sake–not to impress others. Uses money to further God's kingdom, does not love money. Patiently considers all opinions–does not flaunt any authority, turning it to control. We have a history of being fair game for the Diocese' innuendoes. Tonight I'd like to address some of them:

1. The Diocese expresses concern that we collect money. We cannot pay salaries, bills and maintain property on grace alone–just as the Church cannot do so.

2. We say Catholic prayers though we claim to be ecumenical. Ecumenical includes Catholic and Christian Churches as a whole promoting unity amongst Christian Churches.

Our Lady comes here for all people–all nations. In none of Our Lady's apparitions–Lourdes, Fatima, etc.–did Our Lady say, “Pray the rosary if you're Catholic.” The rosary is a universal prayer. Neither has Our Lady ever said, “I have come to convert Catholics.” Rather, She says, “I have come to convert sinners.” We are all sinners. Mary is the spiritual Mother of all people.

The message of the Chambers of the United Hearts is formation of the soul in holiness–not only Catholics, but all people.

Next, we are accused of assuming various ‘guises'. Here is our history:

There is no subterfuge or hidden agenda in this mission. First we were Our Lady Protectress of the Faith. The Diocese chose not to approve this title that Our Lady asked for saying, “There are already too many devotions to Our Lady and to the saints.” I have that statement in a letter at home from the Diocese. The letter further states that Our Lady does not need that title because the Holy Spirit is the Guardian of the Faith.

I guess Our Lady didn't agree because three months later She appeared to Patricia Talbot in Ecuador and said, “I am the Guardian of the Faith.” The title was approved in Ecuador by the local Bishop.

Because the Diocese objected to that title, we assumed the name of Project Mercy, and attempted to pray in Churches against abortion. I say ‘attempted'. We were told by a Bishop that we couldn't do that because their insurance didn't cover it.

Under Mary's direction we have formed a lay ecumenical apostolate. Our Lady started appearing as Mary, Refuge of Holy Love. Subsequently, we were given the revelations of the Chambers of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is a message of interior formation.

We are not in competition, nor do we seek anything from the Diocese. According to the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, the laity are encouraged to present their concerns to the Bishops. The laity are no longer to be the silent majority.

Consequently, I have a question: Where do you stand on ‘Future Church'? This is a group of heretics under the guise of Catholics in your Diocese. They are in dissent of historic Church teaching. It was formed during your tenure. Are you for it or against it? I am not a theologian, but I know this: Not to take a stand is to take a stand.
