Message from St. Catherine of Siena given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Catherine of Siena says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"The Lord has sent me today to speak to you about spiritual pride. This is the culprit that comes against Heaven's work here and at many apparition sites."

"Spiritual pride is a sanctimonious, self-righteous attitude whereby the soul believes he has all Truth and will not accept the gifts that the Holy Spirit bestows on others. Deep within spiritual pride is often hidden a spirit of spiritual envy. This envy denounces the gifts of others because these same gifts have not been given to themselves; therefore, the spiritually envious denounces the gifts of others, declaring them false or non-existent."

"This is the reason that many seemingly good people come against the good of Heaven's efforts here. Of course there may be other sinister works deep within the heart of those given over to such pride. Every soul fights his own battles towards perfection. But the danger in the spiritually proud is that they do not see or recognize any error in themselves."

"A very real pitfall in the spiritually proud heart is false discernment."
