Love consists of a commitment which limits one’s freedom – it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one’s freedom on behalf of another. Limitation of one’s freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful, and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love.
St. John Paul II, from Love and Responsibility

Love is not blind; that is the last thing that it is. Love is bound; and the more it is bound the less it is blind.
– G. K. Chesterton
“Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broadminded about sin. The cry for tolerance never induces it to quench its hatred of the evil philosophies that have entered into contest with the Truth. It forgives the sinner, and it hates the sin; it is unmerciful to the error in his mind. The sinner it will always take back into the bosom of the Mystical Body; but his lie will never be taken into the treasury of His Wisdom. Real love involves real hatred: whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive the buyers and sellers from the temples has also lost a living, fervent love of Truth. Charity, then, is not a mild philosophy of “live and let live”; it is not a species of sloppy sentiment. Charity is the infusion of the Spirit of God, which makes us love the beautiful and hate the morally ugly.”
– Fulton Sheen
Holy Love Message – 10/30/2018
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, the Treasury of Grace which is Love and Mercy itself, awaits you in My Heart. You do not have to walk hundreds of miles to reach it. All you need do is will it and all I have is yours. My Love and My Mercy assist you in accepting all that the present moment offers you."
"I do not come to you with false promises of a better life if you unlawfully trespass boundaries into another country. Every nation has its identity in its borders. These boundaries must be respected. I do not encourage you to break the law. It is evil that lures you away from the reality of the Truth. The Truth is, legal borders do not waver or change to accommodate masses of misled people. The better life you seek is union with My Will."
Note: Thousands of Central American migrants are walking through southern Mexico in hopes of reaching the US.
Read Ephesians 5:15-17+
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Will of the Lord is.

Holy Love Message – 10/19/2018
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 wish to introduce you
to the inner recesses of My Paternal Heart. Herein lies all you need
to succeed in personal holiness. My Mercy and My Love are the
perfection of My Heart. I wish to give you all you need towards the
interpretation of these times in which you live. This, of course, is
clear knowledge of the difference between good and evil.”
“Do not live to satisfy your own needs over and above all else. The
more you can die to self, the more your heart will resemble Holy Love.
This is a great challenge and one that you meet head-on in every
present moment. Over and over, surrender to My Paternal Heart and I
will give you all you need to do so. Make yourselves little and My
Divine Will big. Rid your hearts of all unforgiveness. This is the
first step to perfection in holiness. You may have to take this first
step over and over again.”
“Children, I long to embrace your hearts with My Paternal Love.
Please allow Me this pleasure. Whole nations of people would change
course if they would do so.”
Read Galatians 6:7-10+
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that
he will also reap. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh
reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit
reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due
season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are
of the household of faith.

“Your weapon is love. Wield it with an unrelenting boldness. Is their ugliness stronger than your love? By no means! This is God’s love you wield, and it never fails.”
— Glen Fitzjerrell ( @unkaglen )
The enemy knew he could never defeat love, so he started trying to redefine it instead.
“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.”

Holy Love Message – 10/5/2018
Feast of St. Faustina Kowalska
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know
as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “The doorway to humility is
the soul’s surrender to Holy Love. The more the soul is consumed with
love of self above love of Me and neighbor, the less humble he is.
Humility is coupled with Holy Love as the foundation of all the other
virtues. Do not, therefore, let your present moments be consumed with
self-fulfillment. The more Holy Love fills your heart, the deeper your
personal holiness.”
“These days the Truth is greatly under attack. Humility and Truth
go hand-in-hand. When Truth is not recognized, evil takes over hearts.
This is why your government* is in turmoil. Humility recognizes Truth
and untruth. The humble soul is not easily fooled by Satan’s lies.
Often the Truth is humbling. That is why some in power have difficulty
accepting it and supporting it. Prayer is the key to recognizing the
Truth through humility and Holy Love.”
* U.S.A. government.
Read 2 Timothy 4:1-5+
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to
judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince,
rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. For the
time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having
itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their
own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander
into myths. As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work
of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.
