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

St. Thomas Aquinas appears tossing one of Mulligan's (Maureen's 4-year old Golden Retriever) tennis balls in one hand.

He says: "Praise be to Jesus. You may think it odd that I am holding your pet's toy, but this is a particular lesson I am about to teach you. When you toss a ball it goes the way you direct. It cannot take a different path unless it ricochets off an object and it travels the path you have sent it in."

"If you consider the ball as your free will, and the hand that tosses the ball in a certain path--your heart, you must see that what is in your heart guides your free will. This is why this Message implores that the human heart be steeped in Holy Love so that all thoughts, words and deeds proceed from Holy Love."

"Now, the soul may have the best intentions of living in Holy Love and choose this path with his free will. But just as the ball sometimes hits an object and is diverted from its path, the human heart may be diverted from the path of Holy Love through disordered self-love or sin."

"The ball cannot go in two directions. Neither can free will. You cannot with half a heart love God and neighbor above self, and with half a heart love sin. This is duplicity. God commands that you give Him your whole heart. It is only in this way you can stay on the path that He directs."
