Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“Today I come to you as Defender of All Virtue. I remind you that every virtue is founded upon Holy Love. Therefore, it is the depth of Holy Love in the heart which determines the depth of every virtue. When the virtuous life is attacked or weakened, it is always due to some weakness in Holy Love. This is why My Defense of All Virtue is so closely linked to My title of Refuge of Holy Love.”

“Virtues become diluted through disordered self-love. There is a constant battle in every heart between this inordinate self-love and Holy Love. The choices of free will in this regard determine the depth of virtue in the heart. Souls must realize this in order to progress in holiness.”

“So often false virtue enters the picture which is virtue practiced for others to see or towards some self-gain.”

“Souls must never judge the virtuous life of another unless he has been placed as guardian of that person's spirituality. Strengths and flaws of the virtuous life are between the soul and God. Therefore, do not make statements such as ‘He is proud' or ‘He is disobedient'. Most often you do not have all the facts, but God does. This is a snare of Satan.”

“Work out your own spiritual journey, and in humility pray for those who do not actively seek the virtuous life. These, too, are My children.”
