Examination of Conscience

 

Jesus and Blessed Mother are here. Blessed Mother says: “Praise be to Jesus.” Jesus extends His Hands out over the people here and is praying for their needs.

Jesus says: “My brothers and sisters, put the household of your hearts in order with the broom of Holy Love; for when I return and reign over My Kingdom, which is to come, those who will be seated at My feet are those consecrated to My Mother’s Heart through the Flame of Holy Love. They will be living in the Divine Will of My Father.”

Our Lady says: “My children, I have come to help you understand the mystery of My coming to you. I call all people, all nations into My Immaculate Heart. Because My Heart is one with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, those who respond are thus in the Refuge of the United Hearts.”

“What few realize is that the way into Our Hearts is the pursuit of holiness through self-examination of conscience. This is the way of perfection, the way to Divine Mercy and Divine Love. Those who are unwilling to search out their own faults, and to be perfected through Holy Love, will be found unworthy.”

“Once again, all that trips you up is self love. You must avoid thinking of how everything affects you. Think of others. Self love leads to many crimes and atrocities, too many to enumerate, which offend the Heart of My Son and His Mother.”

“Do not lay any obstacle between us, not your desires, your likes, or your dislikes. As little children, approach Me; and I will take you into the Heart of My Son. This is how you are called to live, as one with Our United Hearts in the New Jerusalem. Thus, will My Son come to reign over His Kingdom.”

“Clothed in the majesty of Divine Mercy and Love, He will mount His throne and take dominion over all people and all nations. All the choirs of angels shall adore Him and await His bidding on that terrible and beautiful day.”

The United Hearts Blessing is given.

 

* Did I return Love for Love? (God’s love for me back to Him).

* Did I find fault with anyone in thought or word when it was not my duty to do so?

* Did I transgress another’s rights according to any of the Commandments?

* Have I tried to be an example of Holy Love and Holy Humility in my daily life?

* Have I allowed Holy Love and Humility to lead me deeper into the virtues: simplicity, prudence, patience, fortitude, and perseverance?

* Am I living the message only on my lips (for others to see – superficially); or do I have the message in my heart, thus having a private relationship with Jesus through Mary?

* Did I use the world – people, places, and things – to promote the message of Holy Love?

* Have I allowed the element of time to manipulate me, or do I use time wisely for the glory of God?

* If I am Catholic, do I know the Church laws and obey them?

* Am I faithful to my state of life?

* If I am Catholic, did I make good use of the sacraments?

* Did I accept and embrace the crosses in my life as part of God’s Will for me; or do I rebel against the cross, thus losing grace for souls?

* If I receive special graces in any form, did I broadcast it to others unnecessarily; or do I realize I am undeserving and thank God for it?

 

Jesus is in white. Blessed Mother is here as Refuge of Holy Love. Our Lady says: “Praised be Jesus.”

Jesus: “I am Jesus, born Incarnate. Alleluia! My brothers and sisters, through the Holy Love message, I invite you to allow your lives to take on a metamorphosis. Do not remain in a cocoon, but be transformed just as the butterfly emerges from the cocoon. Let your hearts be made new through the message of Holy Love. Examine your consciences nightly and you will see the areas which I am leading you to grow in. My brothers and sisters, I’m blessing you.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. Conversion of a heart is like a soul passing from darkness to light. Just as the sun passes from behind a cloud, the soul who is being converted is given the light to see what stands between himself and God. If he accepts this knowledge with humility, he is willing to make the effort to overcome these sins or flaws.”

“It is the proud heart that is not open to self-knowledge, but believes himself perfect enough. This is spiritual pride. Such a one may envy the spiritual gifts of others which in itself is a sin to be overcome. Conversion of a heart is from moment to moment for everyone. No one can say in reality, ‘I am converted – I am saved’, for in the next moment he may fall into grave sin.”

“End each day with a thorough examination of conscience. Ask for the grace of truthful insight into your own heart. It will be granted.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I have come to describe to you the anatomy of grudge-bearing. A grudge is a burden you are not being asked to carry. A grudge is unforgiveness, and holds the heart in the past. It is a useless barrier between your human heart and My Sacred Heart. It is the sign of anger. A grudge is most certainly Satan’s handiwork.”

“Sometimes the soul does not recognize that he is carrying a grudge. But at the end of the day when he examines his conscience, as all souls should, if he remembers thinking of someone or some situation with a dissatisfied turbulence, he may well be carrying a grudge.”

“I hold no grudges. Divine Mercy forgives all who seek My forgiveness. I do not remember past sins the soul repents of. I do not search out error in people.”

“In Holy Love, you are all being called to imitate My Mercy. Ask Me for the grace to forgive and forget. I will help your sincere efforts in this regard.”

St. John Vianney, the Cure d’ Ars says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“I wanted to speak to you momentarily about motives. Motives are what inspire good works, but also – sin. Often people commit the sin of rash judgment for they neglect to search out the truth or maybe to accept the truth. Take, for instance, opinions about this Ministry. People are quick to negate the Works of Heaven here without attempting to discover the Truth. Often people presume to know why others act or speak as they do. Such contemplation very often may be the sin of neglecting to discover the Truth behind such words or actions.”

“The soul needs to always pray to discover the Truth about his own spiritual journey – what weakens him and leads him into sin. This is vital to a deeper journey into the Chambers of the United Hearts. Ask, and I will assist you in this self-examination on a daily basis.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I tell you, self-righteousness is a trap that Satan lays for those who seek personal holiness. It is a clever snare that many fall into. The self-righteous are unable to make a good examination of conscience, for they believe too much in their own holiness. This is in direct contrast to the humble-hearted, who sincerely believe all others to be more holy than themselves. The humble-hearted that is, those who pursue the path of righteousness, are constantly pursuing a deeper virtuous life. They are never self-satisfied as are the self-righteous.”

“The self-righteous put on holiness for all to admire and see. The truly righteous choose hiddenness, the background and a holiness that is between My Heart and their own.”

“Once again, I warn you, though righteousness and self-righteousness are vastly different and worlds apart, there is a fine line between the two. It is very easy to pass from one to the other. There are no alarms or fireworks that mark passage between these two. This is why the soul needs to be in touch with the motives in his own heart in thought, word and deed in every present moment.”

Jesus says: “I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“Do not be discouraged in any effort towards personal holiness. Some have to enter the Vestibule of Our United Hearts over and over again. Each time, they must hold themselves accountable for even the smallest grievance against Holy Love. At the end of each day, I call each soul back into the Vestibule of Grace to make a self-examination of conscience. There, they will be able to see what is holding them back from a deeper journey through the Chambers. Then, they will pass, once again, through the Doorway of My Mercy.”

“The conviction of heart in the Truth is vital to every conversion. No one who seeks holiness can be self-satisfied. But, sanctimony is very often the pitfall of those who are attempting to make the journey through Our Hearts. This is a compromise of the Truth which grieves My Mournful Heart and inhibits true holiness. Do not try to impress anyone with virtue or even gifts of the Holy Spirit.”

“This is a flaw and propels you out of any Chamber of Our Hearts back into the Vestibule. Conversion of heart is offered in every present moment to all.”

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“As I told you last night, tolerance of sin produces the bad fruit of more sin, just as condoning sinful behavior does. I desire you understand how tolerance plays out in the world. You tolerate something if you put up with it, look the other way and refuse to address the reality of the Truth. Reasons why people would do this are as follows: fear of losing popularity, fear of being labeled in any certain way, fear of loss of status or material gain.”

“Now, realize that none of these fears are of Me. All of these fears revolve around the temporary, the passing. What is needed is an examination of conscience as to where priorities lie. Do you seek favor with people or with Me – Your Savior? What does it matter what people think of you? When you stand before Me, you will be judged according to your response to Truth. No one else’s opinion of you will enter into play. Your own opinions will judge you, either in favor of Holy Love or against.”

“Do not waste time then trying to placate sinners or any ‘special interest group’ that supports sin. Be My disciple, as I call you to be.”

 

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I tell you, it is pride that shores up the soul against recognizing the Truth and having a true conviction of heart. Perhaps the person is very popular or important in the eyes of others. Satan has him convinced then that he is above wrong-doing. Perhaps he has a religious vocation but is using it to fulfill his own ambitions, not towards the welfare of others.”

“This is why every soul needs to invest in a nightly examination of conscience. His prayers must be to recognize and accept the state of his soul in the light of Holy Love, which is always the Truth. The soul that takes his own effort towards his own salvation seriously will commit to this.”

“Once again I caution every heart to realize it is not what people believe about you, but what I see in your heart that matters.”

Read Psalm 119:1-16+

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His Testimonies, who seek Him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in His Ways! Thou hast commanded thy precepts to be kept diligently. O that my ways may be steadfast in keeping Thy Statutes! Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all Thy Commandments. I will praise Thee with an upright heart, when I learn Thy righteous ordinances. I will observe Thy Statutes; O forsake me not utterly! How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Thy Word. With my whole heart I seek Thee; let me not wander from Thy Commandments! I have laid up Thy Word in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Blessed be Thou, O Lord; teach me Thy Statutes! With my lips I declare all the ordinances of Thy Mouth. In the way of Thy Testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Thy Precepts, and fix my eyes on Thy Ways. I will delight in Thy Statutes; I will not forget Thy Word.

+-Scripture verses asked to be read by Jesus.
-Scripture taken from the Ignatius Bible.

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“These days, as the New Year begins, so much is made of athletic competition. Yet the most important competition – the battle between good and evil – eludes most. Evil forces compete with the good angelic forces for the soul of every human being. Souls do not realize this and most have become oblivious to the on-going battle waged against salvation.”

“Evil has won many battles in regards to outward displays of Christianity – yet pagan religions are given every consideration. The Ten Commandments are no longer the foundation of laws or governments, but are forbidden in many places from being displayed. People do not see these trends as competition for their souls. The difference between good and evil must be highlighted by leaders – both secular and religious. As it is, the compromise of Truth is winning out.”

“Be willing to surrender any opinion which opposes the Commandments and therefore, Holy Love. Do not clothe your self-esteem in your opinions. You may be defending evil. Be willing to re-evaluate your positions in light of the Commandments.”

“There is no scoreboard which allows you to determine your progress in your spiritual life. The battles are very often waged in silence and within the heart. Always be willing to make an examination of conscience as to your progress and support of Holy Love in your heart. Never be smugly satisfied. Choose humility of heart.”

“I am always on the side of Holy Love – cheering you on. I am keeping score so that at your judgment you earn the trophy of eternal life.”

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 short comings, 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.”

St. John Vianney, Cure d’Ars and Patron of Priests says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“In the world today, both secular and religious, the main problem is there is not a clear distinction between good and evil. Tolerance of evil has taken center stage. Even within Church circles this is so. Respect for the Blessed Sacrament has diminished, as souls are not encouraged to search their hearts to determine if they are in a state of grace before approaching the altar. As sin is no longer clearly defined, a clear examination of conscience is not always possible. The percentage of sacrileges is higher than ever.”

“In the secular world people choose violence as a solution to their differences. There is an ever-growing indifference as to God’s Commandments and His Will. The heart of the world is distancing itself from God’s Dominion.”

“Make Holy Hours of Reparation, for the Heart of Jesus is tormented by man’s indifference towards Him. His Heart thirsts for justice, but for love of mankind He restrains the inevitable. Over and over, He gives more chances and opportunities for man to return to love of Him and love of neighbor.”

“This Ministry of Holy Love* offers such an opportunity. Even so, it has been met with disdain by Church leaders who should have welcomed it and encouraged it. Pray for those who stubbornly hold error in their hearts in this regard. They are responsible for many prayers left unsaid here.**

“I wish I did not have to speak so bluntly, but I did not come to sugarcoat the Truth. Many leaders – secular and religious – need a conviction of heart and a humble repentance.”
