Mary, Refuge of Holy Love says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“A great mechanism is dependent upon the smallest part to run properly. This is true in the spiritual life, as well. A soul may strive to live in Holy Love and to be Holy Love, but there may be one problem in his heart that prevents Holy Love from being fulfilled. Perhaps he holds unforgiveness in his heart towards one person. Maybe he holds in his heart a spiritual pride or envy. Perhaps he is prone to calumny or rash-judgment. He may even be a person of prominence in the world but fails to lead the souls in his charge in righteousness for fear of losing popularity or revenue. Any small error in Holy Love prevents the whole attitude of Holy Love from taking root.”

“This is why an examination of conscience is so important every day. If you cannot humbly discover your shortcomings, you cannot correct them. Holy Love is like a great machine with many parts or virtues. All of these virtues need to work together so that Holy Love is fully functional. Do not impede Holy Love in your heart by refusing to look carefully at your efforts.”

“You are given the Chambers of the United Hearts to help you past the superficial and into the depths of Divine Love.”
