“It is far better to be weak in understanding and have lack of knowl-
edge than to be lacking humility and charity.”(From Gianna below)
Humility and charity. What else could God possibly want from us? Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own self righteousness, and we’re so busy trying to impose our will and ideals on others, that instead of showing others the divine light that could be working through us, we turn them totally off and they run for cover just to get away from us. We create division when the idea is unity. All because we choose to speak when we should be listening. Who likes being around preachy people? And who is going to share and bear their soul when they feel like they’re being judged? They say “two ears, one mouth, give equal time to each.” I’m finding that maybe even less “mouth” than that is in order. When we listen we learn, and the more we learn, the more powerful our words become when we do choose to speak. Everyone needs to be heard, and most of all, God needs to be heard. For our sake. I pray that we open our hearts and souls and listen. His word is everything. Totus Tuus.🤗❤️🙏
As told to Gianna Talone Sullivan, Feb 22, 1992, I am your Jesus of Mercy Vol IV
Silence
“My dear one, it is more profiable to hide the grace of
your devotion than to esteem it through exalting your-
self! It is true wisdom to simply be in silence and solitude
than to speak much of your journey. It is those who follow
the truth who look towards God and live in silence, without
seeking consolation.
Silence is an increase in knowledge, a virtue of contem-
plation in which the spirit of the soul ascends. Silence is a
whisper and grace of My Father in which He instills the truth
into your being as you listen with an open heart.
Remember, the Progress in your spiritual journey does
not consist of the grace of consolation, but instead, bearing
the desire for it with humility and patience!
If you will allow your mind to rest and be at peace with
simply being in My presence, silence will become your com-
fort in times of support and need. Those who are novices
should be careful to be discreet and silent, lest they fall into
deceit. It is better to be quiet and in a state of solitude than
to see yourselves through your own eyes of wisdom, seldom
allowing to be governed by others.
Silence will allow you to be ruled by God, and the way
to flourish in the gifts of humility and divine charity! It is far
better to be weak in understanding and have lack of knowl-
edge than to be lacking humility and charity.
Humility is a grace, and silence and solitude, through
divine contemplation is the catalyst to humility. Those who
choose to be quiet through prayer and discipline, even though
it may be difficult, are graced with true wisdom and lack of
self conceit! I am speaking of silence, My dear one, not be-
ing secretive. I am speaking of developing and nurturing the
soul through intimacy.
Quiet the mind and rest in Me. I will replenish you. If you
feel far away and not rewarded, and empty, hold on to your
faith and know that the light may leave as well as return when
God deems fit! Better now for My people to be at peace and
contemplate how it might be if the light turns to the shadow
of darkness. And if you feel the light leave, know that it will
come back. So hold on to your faith in silence and in the
solitude of contemplation.
I bless you tonight, My dear one. In the intensity and depth
of My Father’s graces of darkness in your soul, you willingly
write My words for My beloved people, even though it is of
great difficulty for you. This darkness is one of light for your
soul, and those I elect are graced with it. Peace. Ad Deum.
IN SILENCE IS HUMILITY GROUNDED.”
