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

St. Thomas Aquinas comes. He says: "Praise be to Jesus. I have come to help you understand what hinders the soul on his journey into the Chambers of the United Hearts. It is always pride. Pride is the enemy of a deeper surrender to love. The essence of pride is self-love which fosters a lack of humility. The soul does not know his place before God. He does not recognize his own faults and shortcomings. He sees his free will as the 'be all--end all'."

"You see, my little soul, humility and love must always work together in the soul. It is Holy Humility which makes Holy Love genuine and self-effacing. It is Holy Love that calls the soul to humility of heart. One cannot truly be in the heart without the other."

"Spiritual pride is a very deceitful counterfeit of true holiness. The one who is spiritually proud believes he is the source of the graces that come to him. He may never admit this, but deep within he does not give God the credit for the graces that come to him. He may even brag about the crosses he is asked to carry and graces he received in the hopes that others will see him as a 'chosen' soul. Spiritual pride is a form of duplicity."

"But when genuine Holy Love and Holy Humility work together in the heart, the soul is drawn swiftly, swiftly through the Sacred Chambers of the United Hearts, quickly being perfected in every virtue."

"Make it known."
