Message from St. Thomas Aquinas given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Thomas Aquinas comes, bows to the Holy Eucharist, turns and says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"I have come to help you understand the eternal depths of God's Divine Will. Each time faith in God's plan is tested, it is to bring you deeper into trust, not into panic and fear. The one who trusts does not fear. Satan is in fear. Remember, Scripture has it, 'Fear is useless; what is needed is trust'."

"Now, there is a distinct difference between faith and trust. Faith is belief in something that you cannot experience with your senses--that is, you cannot see it, touch it, hear it or smell it. Trust is the surrender to faith. Trust itself is invisible, but you know you are deep into trust when you are at peace."

"God's infinite plan for each soul--His Provision and Will--is not visible to the human eye, nor understood in the human intellect. Therefore, to understand God's Will is simply to accept that God alone is the Master Weaver of the tapestry of each life. The threads that make up the tapestry are the moment to moment graces God gives that lead each soul to his salvation. No one is called outside of God's Will or to oppose God's plan. It is Satan who inspires every sin, but free will that acts upon evil inspiration. However, free will is part of God's plan, and He continually gives fresh graces to overcome the effects of sin."

"This is a profound teaching--study and meditate upon it. Ask for the grace to understand it."
