Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta – thinking of oneself

Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta – on pride

from vol.3 of the Book of Heaven

Peace of heart

„But above all preserve peace of heart. This is more valuable than any treasure. In order to preserve it there is nothing more useful than renouncing your own will and substituting for it the will of the divine heart. In this way his will can carry out for us whatever contributes to his glory, and we will be happy to be his subjects and to trust entirely in Him.”
—St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

My conversion story on YT

Growing in faith, hope, and love

I’ve been praying about things, and for things. I’ve been asking for the usual gifts and graces – conversion of my family members, random people I met online, the world, the Church; for virtues, especially patience, gentleness, and for inner peace „that transcends all understanding”, because these are especially need as a mother of five young children that are homeschooled (now of course on holidays, but mostly at home). I know I receive a lot of graces everyday. The Lord always gives in abundance. But I’m having a difficulty in remembering about God at all times, like in the book by Brother Lawrence „The Practice of God’s Presence”, I think that was the title.

Why is it so important? Because I know that if before I get irritated by something I call upon God, He always immediately helps to calm me down. But if I am more… me (I hope you get it), then my fallen nature too often reveals itself, maybe in an unkind word to a child, or a husband, or just an angry thought.

It’s always easier, incomparably easier, to keep my cool, to stay in the peace of the Lord for much longer, right after the confession and the Eucharist. Once even for two long days. Nothing seemed to bother me, I was all peace and quiet joy and on fire for the Lord. I guess that’s the answer, as well. But I can’t go to daily Mass at the moment, so this will have to wait, and I’ll just intensify my prayer life.

God bless anyone who reads it.
