These kinds of things make me so happy.
“The fact that I often fall asleep during meditation, or while making my thanksgiving, should appall me. Well, I am not appalled; I bear in mind that little children are just as pleasing to their parents asleep as awake; that doctors put patients to sleep while they perform operations, and that after all, ‘the Lord knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.’”

“Prayer can truly change your life. For it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart toward the Lord. If we look only at ourselves, with our own limitations and sins, we quickly give way to sadness and discouragement. But if we keep our eyes fixed on the Lord, then our hearts are filled with hope, our minds are washed in the light of truth, and we come to know the fullness of the Gospel with all its promise and life.”
— Saint John Paul II

Holy Love Message – 9/28/2018
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 want to give you My
Spirit, the Spirit of My Heart – My Holy Spirit. Only by this means can
I help you to surrender to My Will. I want you to desire this
surrender. It means so much to Me. It is a sign of your love for Me.”
“I want to resolve your problems by this means. I desire you have
this Spirit when you arise in the morning, when you face new challenges
throughout the day and especially when you deal with unbelievers. My
Holy Spirit helps you to adhere to My Commandments and to help others to
do so by your example.”
“Dear children, do not face life alone but always be embraced and
clothed in the Spirit of My Heart. Therein lies your courage,
perseverance and fortitude in making the right choices. This is My Will
for you.”
“Say the following prayer each morning:”
“Heavenly Father, I desire to surrender my whole heart to the Spirit
of Your Heart – the Holy Spirit. Help me to be an example to others of
obedience to Your Commandments. Assist me in making the right choices
throughout the day. In this way I surrender to Your Will. Amen.”
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 – 9/24/2018
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Today, I must take you back to the stressful world of politics. The democrats never attempted to unite behind this president.* They have made issues out of non-issues. Their opposition is what needs to be investigated. They have been unable to place their people in key positions. From this convoluted point of view, of course, they oppose this good and honest man** recently chosen as a possible Supreme Court Justice. This is substantial evidence that prayer must be the guiding force to influence the November elections.”
“Do not place power in the hands of evil. Pray to recognize evil in the hearts of those ambitious to hold office. I am offering My Paternal Protection to those who live in the Truth. Just ask Me.”
* President Donald J. Trump
** Judge Brett Kavanaugh
Read 1 Timothy 2: 1-4+
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Made to change the world…
”My boys have been at a new school for the past 10 days. Due to the sudden and sad closure of our small Christian school, they are now at our local public elementary school.
I spent the summer trying not to worry about my tender hearted fifth grade boy being the new kid in a big school. My puny, faithless prayers went something like this: “Please God, don’t let him get bullied!”
When I dropped my oldest son off on the first day of school, he was standing alone while all the other students were in groups of friends. That afternoon at school pick-up I asked, “How’d it go?”
When he answered, “not good” all my fears bum rushed me.
“Really? What happened.” He went on to detail how one boy was getting bullied in class. He went over and sat right next to him so that he wasn’t sitting alone. Then he told me about a boy who tried to deceive one of the Muslim girls thinking that she wouldn’t know the difference. My son told the girl not to believe this boy because he was trying to trick her. He talked about how some of the students were saying mean things about their teacher when they didn’t even know her yet.
Why did my son have a bad day? It wasn’t because he didn’t have any friends. It was because of the injustice around him.
I thought about this for an hour and then walked over and confessed that my prayers for him had been too small. I had fallen into the parent trap of wanting my kid to be ‘safe and happy’ when that’s not what he’s made for. Like all kids, especially Christian kids, he’s not made to be safe.
He’s made to change the world.
We discussed the CS Lewis quote, “you don’t know how crooked a stick is until you lay a straight stick next to it.” Maybe this boy of mine is the straight stick. Maybe he’s in that class because those kids need to see a real-life fifth-grade version of justice and kindness. When I started talking about how he’s had five years of right-side-up teaching and relationships and expectations at his Christian school he cut me off and said, “Maybe God has been preparing me for this.”
In the last 10 days, he has comforted sad classmates, helped kids who were being cheated during games at recess, and apologized to his substitute teacher for the (truly horrible) behavior of his peers.
I do still pray that he makes friends. Lifelong friends. But what’s even more important is God doing something through this 11 year old that He can’t do through anyone else.
Lesson for me: No more praying out of fear. I hope I don’t have to learn it again.”

Feast of The Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “I am God – Father of All Nations. Today, once again, I come to compare the journey of souls in the world to the threatening weather associated with the hurricane* on your East Coast. Many preparations were set in motion as the hurricane grew closer. Properties were boarded up. People sought safer ground. Many utility companies are standing by to repair power outages.”
“If you compare this hurricane to the journey of a soul in the world, how much preparation does each soul make towards his final judgment? Have souls protected themselves against evil? Do souls realize through all this preparation for an eternal reward that power is in prayer?”
“Most who would acknowledge that there is a final judgment do little to prepare. You cannot evacuate to a safer area at your judgment. If you pay attention, it will not come as a shock. Prayer is the power I place in your hands. Only by free will can this power fail you.”
“Begin now to prepare for eternity.”
* Hurricane Florence
Read 1 Peter 1:13-16+
Therefore gird up your minds, be sober, set your hope fully upon the grace that is coming to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in all your conduct; since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

Holy Love Message – 9/13/2018
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “There has been much publicity in recent days about the hurricane* that fast approaches your East Coast. Because of the imminent danger, many prayers have been offered and the storm was weakened. People recognized the threat and many united in prayer. The same power of unitive prayer could weaken the threat of evil in the world. The problem is, people do not recognize evil for what it is.”
“This being said, unite your prayers against all threats of evil hidden from plain view. These are the most dangerous, for they gain power through anonymity. Pray to recognize the enemy where he lies hidden – then believe in the power of prayer.”

Holy Love Message – 8/31/2018
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “I have come to establish a covenant with all of mankind. This covenant is the effort of each soul to work out his own salvation and to pray for the salvation of others.”
“Every effort, every thought, word and deed should now be focused on and embrace this covenant. Anything which compromises this covenant is not of Me. When the soul arises in the morning, he should make the effort to recommit himself to this covenant by simply saying:”
“Heavenly Father, I give You this day. I surrender every effort in thought, word and deed and ask You to use all towards my own salvation and the salvation of others. Amen.”
“This prayer serves to surrender that which you do not remember to offer Me in the present moment.”
Read Philippians 4:4-7+
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Holy Love Message – 8/30/2018
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, during these times it is prayer and sacrifice that stays the Arm of Justice. You must have a sincere desire to appease My Heart. Sacrifice must be offered first and foremost with love. The more the soul dreads the sacrifice, the weaker his offering.”
“Every present moment is a new opportunity to pray and sacrifice. It is up to each soul to discover the means. The best sacrifice strengthens the cause of good and weakens evil forever. Sincere sacrifice and prayer are My Weapons in this evil age where Truth is convoluted to appear as evil.”
Read 2 Timothy 2:21-22+
If any one purifies himself from what is ignoble, then he will be a vessel for noble use, consecrated and useful to the master of the house, ready for any good work. So shun youthful passions and aim at righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.

Holy Love Message – 6/26/2018
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: “I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the Eternal Now. My actions are not governed by time or space. The miracles I perform have been part of My Heart for all eternity and will be present in My Heart in the future. These days, which are so tenuous, I ask your concerted effort in prayer that My Will, once again, takes Its rightful place at the center of the heart of the world. Forsake not My interests in man’s welfare. Return to Me as little children to a caring parent.”
“I do not wish to visit earth with My Wrath. I shudder to think of such a day. My children, you must take steps to make amends to My Heart. Be reconciled with the Truth that your arrogance will cause if you do not change. Come to Me with hands filled with good deeds so that I can open the gates of Heaven to you. With love and joy, I look forward to such a day.”
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.
