“It is selfishness when My people do not listen; when My people choose to absorb only what they wish; when My people do not respect one another and do not respect Me.”(From Gianna below)
We all tend to see things through the lens of our own experience, those closest to us, and the sources we tend to choose for “information.” Then when we get presented with an idea contrary to our perception, our first instinct is to lash out and make our opinion known to whomever we’re dealing, with little to no regard for the experiences of the other person. This is especially true in the current climate, where people are spending huge amounts of money working to form opinions in the masses as a means of social control. We see families in turmoil, churches and social clubs divided, and neighbors building figurative “walls” around themselves so we don’t have to listen to each other. Some of us like to speak so much and listen so little that our neighbors are probably right to shut us out of their lives. Putting ourselves in a position to be “shut out” really doesn’t solve anything, and really only tends to make matters worse, so why are we insistent on rendering our opinion every time an opportunity presents itself? I’ve certainly been guilty of it, but there comes a time in our social and spiritual maturity when we should grow to realize the futility in that approach. Sometimes change requires cultivation. Listening in love and giving ourselves time to figure out how to be an example as opposed to a “bully” of sorts. This also gives us time to learn and many times realize we aren’t always to right about everything we might be thinking at that particular time, and gives us the opportunity to refine our own thoughts to a place of greater maturity than those we once held, giving ourselves much greater credibility in the long run. We may feel like we’re being weak when we suspend our ego in this way, but love and kindness will always evoke change faster and more solidly than arrogance and contradiction. I hope and pray that we can all soften ourselves, put ourselves at the foot of the cross in humility in a way that reflects God’s love for us. To cast His Light on others as opposed to aiding the evil one in his ugly efforts to create turmoil amongst us. To use our gifts bring His Heavenly Kingdom to society in a way that’s lasting and eternal, as we walk each other Home. All love, all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

RESPECT
DECEMBER 26, 1988
People in your age do not have respect for one another, and so, cannot have respect for me!
This is a continuation of your lesson on selfishness. It is selfishness when My people do not listen; when My people choose to absorb only what they wish; when My people do not respect one another and do not respect Me. How can My people absorb what is to come if they will not allow Me to teach them? They are the people, who do not give respect to their God, but want their God to respect them by acknowledging their wishes. What would you have Me do? Should I fulfill their hearts by granting their wishes to receive their love for the moment?
No, I tell you! I, out of thanksgiving and love for My father, and compassion for My people, will answer their requests, but at the time that is pleasing and is respectful to My Father.
When My people come to Me to pray, I ask that they first pray in thanksgiving to My Father for the many graces He has bestowed upon them, even though they have not recognized them. In a respectful manner, they may then ask Me what it is they wish. I will fill them with what they need.
When My people come to receive My Body at Eucharist, I ask that they fold their hands in prayer, and receive in thanksgiving to My Father for His gift of Me to them. So many people today come and receive Me in a manner that does not give respect to My Father. This is a selfish habit, and needs to be stopped!
I wish for My people to understand the many facets of My Kingdom, but they need to understand the basic rules first. It is selfishness which is preventing them from understanding thoroughly. With selfishness there is lack of respect.
If you have respect for Me, you would be willing to practice and eat the fruits on the pathway to My Kingdom.
