“My people think they know what love is, but they do not embrace the love because they do not love themselves. The underlying cause is shame. Those who are sure to diagnose lack of love on their brethren are the first
to have shame rooted deep within them disguising their own
lack of love.”(From Gianna below)
Shame and blame. Deflection of culpability. I think that starts early in life when we lose our pencil(or something), and instead of saying “I lost my pencil,” we proclaim “someone stole my pencil.” That kind of simplifies things, but we all attempt to place unwarranted blame and shame on others when the fault for something lies within ourselves. It happens within ourselves, and it happens on a social level as well. Society will sometimes deflect blame onto a certain group of people for something that had nothing to do with them, instead of placing it on the person or persons who actually did the thing they’re concerned about. This is sad, because many people or groups will assume that guilt for a thing they didn’t even have knowledge of until they were told about it. Blaming something an individual did on “society,” or another group, because somewhere down the line that particular person or persons failed to get their act together. We see this on the playground with children, and we see it nationally and globally as adults. We’re a society that likes to overthink things that are simple. They actually pay people to do that at the academic level, and call it “social justice,” yet no justice comes from it. It ends up being a ploy for political maneuvering. It ends up being a half truth, which will at best be a “half lie.”
Until we love ourselves, it’s going to be very difficult to love each other, and it’s hard to love ourselves when we can’t even see the truth about ourselves. Truth in love, precious souls. May we find it, embrace it, and apply it accordingly. Totus Tuus.(Totally Yours)❤️🙏

Shame
“MY dear child l came today to talk to My beloved people
about shame. My people think they know what love
is, but they do not embrace the love because they do not love
themselves. The underlying cause is shame. Those who are
sure to diagnose lack of love on their brethren are the first
to have shame rooted deep within them disguising their own
lack of love.
What is shame? When the soul is created, it is created with goodness in the light of truth, and purity exists. Man, through
the venomous poison of judgment and resentfulness, places
guilt and charges a victim, placing despair and embarrass-
ment through humiliation upon the soul. The soul flees to
safety, masking its charges, whether guilty or innocent, by
avoiding the accusation and placing reason on another issue
or even charging another person of some guilt! The soul is
revealed without compassion or love, causing shame which
metastasizes to other victim souls. Consequently, the love
created is buried deep, and insult topples injury, and the soul
cannot love because it is faced with humiliation from lack of
acceptance from mankind. It is the norm of the society which
exists throughout the world.
My people are not happy. They search for freedom by
changing employment, habitation, in hopes of finding peace,
joy, acceptance. Before man can be accepted by men, he must
first accept himself and allow My love to cleanse him, heal
him and dwell in him.
Do not let the affluent people who attach glory with wealth
fool you into thinking they love themselves because they are
accepted into society by society standards!! I assure you these
are the people who seek the most acceptance and are least
loved by man, in being, outside of monetary value. These are
My people who place shame on others because of the shame
which dwells within them! These are My people who do not
love themselves with the love of which I speak. These are My
people who cannot be alone to face My love and healing, for
they escape the truth.
Shame comes from the values instilled in man by man,
instead of loving. Shame leads to chemical dependency,
abuse, self destruction because of self humiliation, lack of
acceptance, lack of love, embarrassment.
I call all of mankind to restore the components of love,
mercy, compassion, respect, dignity and honesty. Peace to
you, My dear one. Pray that love, through simpleness with-
out conditions, will return through the openness of mankind.
Blessings. Ad Deum.”
