Is exactly what we’re in the beginning !

When fall in love with Jesus, we have to let go and trust. We jump in a well, no knowing what we will find, but knowing only that we have no other act that we wish to accomplish. We find ourselves swimming in an ocean of Love. And we find others as well. We begin to have Jesus unlock for us the greatest, latent dreams we never could have even imagined The best swim club ever :)

@ElijahsCloak I've been trying to understand what it means here about the memory. Isn't it a bit different than just about remembering?

We need to know this information! The first time I heard the word divinization, it was from a priest who is about my age, 68, and I thought it was a New Age term. Coming from him, the thought about the New Age seemed appropriate.

This is a topic that is much more discussed by the Orthodox. But it is at the center of mysticism in the Catholic Church as mentioned in the quote from St John of the Cross.

Hi Bob, I don’t know if Greg Dunne was disposed for the grace he received in his apartment where he was reborn into the Divine Will, but it certainly doesn’t seem as though he desired what had happened to him. This is in response to what you said “we need to be disposed and desire the graces you are talking about in this video in order receive them“. What’s your thoughts on that?

[@ElijahsCloak]

@@dgarabandal its amazing that you ask because I was thinking about this today. St Paul did not ask for his conversion but he did not resist either. Greg when he realized that it might be God he said "Is it you?" "Is it?" God desposed Greg when he experienced the intense coldness. He purified Greg's senses. This is the reason that he lost his hearing while in this experience. It is a reminder that, regardless of how events normally proceed, God can do as he pleases.

@@ElijahsCloak Hi Bob, I hate to bother you but, you probably know the answer to my question without having to research it. Back in February of this year, I watched this video live that this image linked to at one time, the video has now been taken down. It was put up by ‘Mother and Refuge of the end times’. I prayed along with them, saying the chaplet of the ‘Two Most Holy Hearts’. At the end of the chaplet, Melanie repeated what was being given to her by St. Charbel and maybe St. Pio also. I believe I received a healing of my bowels during the time of saying the chaplet. I didn’t know this at the time, I didn’t feel anything different, but Melanie said that someone had received a healing of the bowels. It’s not something you hear every day so, that’s why I remembered it. To make a long story short, I can now drink whole milk without having any lactose intolerance issues. It was in the first week of May that I confirmed that I no longer have the effects of lactose intolerance. Thanks, be to God! So, I was wondering if the new rules and regulations about alleged visions, apparitions, locations etc, from the Vatican, may be the reason why this video is no longer available. Thank you for your time. Daniel dickey P.S. the image didn’t paste so, here is (or was) the title to the video: Melanie Dupuis Shares Urgent Messages From Heaven and Prayers the Chaplet of the Holy Hearts! (sic)

[@ElijahsCloak]

Daniel, this is great that you received a healing. I did see this video myself. I was not aware that it was deleted.

Is heavenly Jerusalem the Will of the Triune God in Revelation 21?

[@ElijahsCloak]

If it is understood that the New Jerusalem is the Church

Hi do you know where in Faustian diary Jesus mentions confessing weakness and we will over come them

[@ElijahsCloak]

St Faustina's Diary paragraph 1560: "Do not fight against a temptation by yourself, but disclose it to the confessor at once, and then the temptation will lose all its force." (Jesus to St Faustina)
