We all need humility, humility before God and humility before others.
Message of 8/13/2007 - "In Jesus' time, were many Pharisees, scribes and teachers of the Law. They studied deeply the Word of God and were admired by people. But they were like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but full of rottenness within. They practiced beautiful acts exterior, but they had horrors by inside. Today, many people make like them. Many people make beautiful acts of piety and prayer, but they have a heart full of infidelity and iniquity. Caution, little children, caution. You can fool the people. But you don’t fool God, never. God sees everything, my children, everything. He sees all your good deeds. But He also sees your bad heart. And what He looks first is the heart, if it is a good heart and humble. Many people pray the Rosary, receive Communion and adore the Blessed Sacrament. But they have the hearts full of pride and iniquity. The pride and arrogance are how things smell horrible and unbearable. Your iniquity and infidelity are repugnant things that God abominates. God detests your pride and He hates your iniquities. There are many reflexions, many studies and meditations about the God’s Word, but many people don’t live this Word fully. Many people preach and evangelize, but they don’t have much love in their hearts. First, God looks the heart. After, He looks the acts. When the heart is good and humble, many and beautiful acts come from it. With these actions, you will glorify the Lord and will rejoice Him. Remember: first live, after teach. First comes the experience, after comes the preaching. I ask, little children, look at your hearts. Look at your hearts, you and God. Only you and God sees your hearts, nobody else. But be honest before God. Don’t try to trick Him nor to escape Him. He sees the occult. He sees the depths of you. He knows you deeply more than you own. Do a conversation between you and God, in the depths of your hearts, but a sincere and true conversation. What He most wants is to help you and to show what you need to change in the heart. Even if your heart has many dirt and misery, the Live Water of the Holy Spirit will wash them and cleanse them completely. Even if your heart is dead, Jesus wants to resurrect them as He raised Lazarus and the son of the widow of Nain. Kneel before the Cross in the church and ask to the Crucified for give life to your souls, because He is the life! And He will give life in abundance to your souls. They will be saints and you will receive the eternal reward in the Heaven. But never forget: God sees everything. God sees your hearts. All people will be before God. All people will be judged by God. God will show all your acts to you. I hope that most of your acts may be good. May you in this time rejoice with God, and not feel shame how many people. Nobody will can flee in front of God. Nobody will can escape in front of God."
