(Matt 5:8)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\" data-select-like-a-boss=\"1\">In truth, to talk of &#8220;purity of heart&#8221; in our day and age is about as foreign as\u00a0speaking to Mexicans about snow. The idea of chastity, virginity, abstinence, modesty, monogamy, self-control, orthodoxy, etc. are routinely mocked in the mainstream. And it is tragic, because the clean of heart <em>will <\/em>see God.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">And by this it means not only the beatific vision\u2014when a soul will meet God face to face for eternity; but purity of heart, even now&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000066; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';\">&#8230;enables us to see <em>according <\/em>to God. <\/span><\/strong>\u2014<em>Catechism of the Catholic Church, <\/em>n. 2519<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Something beautiful happens when our hearts walk in innocence. God is more readily perceived in creation, more visible in truth, beauty, and goodness, and more apparent in our neighbour. The heart is moved with authentic love as\u00a0it recognizes Jesus, even in the &#8220;least of the brothers.&#8221; It sees God&#8217;s hand even in suffering. And it perceives His will in even the most insignificant duties of the moment. So the pure of heart are <em>joyful<\/em>, for they walk always in the will of God, which is their resting place. And thus, even as they carry their crosses, their &#8220;yoke is easy, and burden light.&#8221; <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_23297_1('footnote_plugin_reference_23297_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_23297_1('footnote_plugin_reference_23297_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_23297_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_23297_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Matt 11:28<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_23297_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_23297_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script> That is, <em>they see God in every circumstance. <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\" data-select-like-a-boss=\"1\">Moreover, such souls shine with a divine radiance because it is no longer they who live, but Christ living in them. Uninhibited by self-love, the pure in heart reflect Jesus the way an unblemished mirror reflects sunlight with a supernatural brilliance\u00a0that penetrates even the most dense darkness. Through obedience, they have allowed the Spirit of God to purge their souls of the stain of sin and attachment to disordered passions. They are well-acquainted with their interior poverty apart\u00a0from God&#8230; but submerged in peace because His mercy sustains them. With Mary, they too can cry out:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, mono; font-size: small;\">My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.\u00a0(Luke 1:47-48)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\" data-select-like-a-boss=\"1\">The pure soul\u00a0is like a fleck of dust caught in the orbit of the Sun. Pulled more and more by its gravity, it eventually bursts into flame becoming one with its elements. So too, the\u00a0more pure of heart a soul becomes, the more it is drawn into the depths of the Sacred Heart and set aflame with the fires of charity until, at last, it is <em>one<\/em> with the Son.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">How the Lord yearns for this unity of hearts with you, my brother! How He longs to make your soul glisten with purity, my sister! If you think such joy is beyond your reach, then look again at the Cross to see how far Jesus has gone to make this possible. What is required is that you begin today, one step at a time, to walk upon the Narrow Pilgrim Road\u2014rejecting temptation to your right, and illusion to your left.<\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\">Satan is desperate to do everything possible to stain your soul, to prevent you from both seeing God, and others from seeing Him in you. This is why the world today is under a deluge of impurity; Satan knows his time now is very, very short, and that Mary is ready to call her army forth as she sets their hearts ablaze with the Flame of Love from her heart\u2014that Flame, who is Jesus. As she revealed in the approved messages to Elizabeth Kindelmann,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em><strong>The elect souls will have to fight the Prince of Darkness. It will be a frightening storm \u2014 no, not a storm, but a hurricane devastating everything! He even wants to destroy the faith and confidence of the elect.

You will see everywhere the light of my Flame of Love sprouting out like a flash of lightning illuminating Heaven and earth, and with which I will inflame even the dark and languid souls&#8230; It will be the Great Miracle of light blinding Satan\u2026 The torrential flood of blessings about to jolt the world must begin with the small number of the most humble souls.
