Pray for me O Holy Mother of God, that I, your Humble Servant, will carry out, Your requests, with True and Unfailing Faith in You, and Your Blesséd Son, Jesus Christ.
No. 13 Ego, Pride and Arrogance
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Just two days after “Our Blesséd Mother” gave me a detailed Message about the importance of “Devotions”, She again came to me during my “Bush” exercises, on 6th March 2004.
On this occasion this is what “Our Blesséd Mother” said to me;
“My Faithful Children, I, your Heavenly Mother, being aware of the distress that you have been through in recent days, wish to enlighten you, about the Human Weaknesses, and at the same time, Satan’s Strengths, of ‘Ego’ and ‘Pride’.
Sadly, this Terrible human Weakness, which is one of Satan’s Greatest Weapons in his Armory, is so insidious, that all too often it goes totally undetected, by those of My Children, who are affected by this ‘Crippling Affliction’.
What is even more Devastating, is that this Weakness, is more prevalent, and therefore more damaging, in those of My Children, who are in “Man-Made” positions of Power and Authority, both in Clerical and Non-Clerical circles.
Then, if this terrible ‘Affliction’ is not brought to ‘Heal’, it could, and most tragically, often does, eventually become one of the ‘Ultimate Abominations’ of Satan’s, that of ‘Arrogance’.
This ‘Affliction’ of ‘Ego’ and ‘Pride’, forms an almost ‘Impenetrable’ Wall, created by My ‘Adversary’, namely Satan, so much so, that when those Children of Mine, affected by this Terrible human weakness, upon looking into their Hearts and Souls, as I had explained in My Message ‘Satan’s Control Over Mankind’, these ‘Poor’ Children, are not able to See the ‘Reflection’ of Satan.
This almost ‘Impenetrable’ wall has effectively ‘Blinded’ them, and so, most ‘Tragically’, Satan continues on, ‘Unabated’, in taking ‘Control’ of their Hearts and Souls.
I said, earlier that this is prevalent, among My Children who are in ‘Man-Made’ positions of Power, because, as I have also said before to you, My Faithful Children, that in the ‘Eyes’ of My Belovéd Son, Jesus, ‘All’ my Children are ‘Equal’, not one is more Special than the other.
Sadly, however, it is mankind, that has deemed it necessary, to ‘Create’ positions of Power, thereby, placing ‘Divisions’ between people, and in turn ‘Creating’ the ideal environment, for this ‘Insidious Affliction’ to Germinate, Grow and eventually Flourish.
Once this ‘Terrible Affliction’ is in place, then those of My Children, who are affected by it, then will very often ‘Place’ their fellow men and women into ‘Categories’, which could be based on such parameters as, Intelligence, Social Status, which in itself is a ‘Man-Made’ position, Financial Standing, Ethnicity and so on.
My Dear Faithful Children, this ‘Terrible Affliction’, can be found in My Children, and can be seen in My Children in so many areas of ‘Man-Made’ Positions of Power, like for example in Non-Clerical circles such as Politicians, Management in the Commercial World, as well as Leaders of Commercial Organizations, but sadly, most sadly, this can also be found in Clerical circles, in ‘Some’ of My Belovéd ‘Priests’ and ‘Religious’, and right throughout the ‘Hierarchy’, within the Church.
I do stress, however, that this ‘Insidious Affliction’, does not affect ‘All’ of My Belovéd ‘Priests’ and ‘Religious’, as most of My Belovéd ‘Priests’ and ‘Religious’, are totally ‘Faithful’ to their ‘Professed Faith’.
Sadly however, there are many others, who are not.
Therefore, for this reason, My Dear Faithful Children, it is most important for you to be ‘Vigilant’, and be aware of this, in order that you, first of all do not fall Prey to their ‘Misguided’ ways, and secondly on recognizing such ‘Priests’, that you can then know which ‘Priests’ that you need to Pray for, in order that they can be ‘Released’ from this ‘Affliction’.
My Dear Faithful Children, I again would like to remind you of what I said in the Message ‘Satan’s Control Over Mankind’, that Satan Lives in ‘All’ of My Children, and yes, this includes ‘All’ My Belovéd ‘Priests’ and ‘Religious’.
If it is one of My Belovéd ‘Priests’, who upon looking into ‘His’ heart and Soul for the ‘Reflection’ of Satan from within Him, is ‘Unable’ to see Satan’s ‘Reflection’, because of this almost ‘Impenetrable’ Wall, formed by his ‘Ego’ and ‘Pride’, this then can become most ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Damaging’ to you, My Faithful Children, because it is to the ‘Priest’, that you, My Faithful Children, quite naturally, look up to and turn to for ‘Guidance’, in matters concerning your ‘Faith’.
If then the ‘Priest’, to whom you are turning to for ‘Guidance’, is himself ‘Infected’ with this Dreadful ‘Affliction’, and may I remind you, My Dear Faithful Children, an ‘Affliction’ which itself is an awful ‘Sin’ as well, then this ‘Priest’ is himself ‘Misguided’, as a result of Satan having taken ‘Control’ of his Heart and Soul.
Most unfortunately, My Dear Faithful Children, so many of My Children who sadly don’t share the same strength of ‘Faith’ in Me, your Heavenly Mother and My Belovéd Son, Jesus, as you, My Faithful Children do, are themselves unable to make this recognition within such ‘Affected’ Priests, therefore their Souls are in Mortal Danger of being ‘Swallowed’ up by the ‘Misguided’ influence of such ‘Priests’.
It is therefore, very important, for you My Faithful Children, who through the Strength of your own ‘Faith’ in Me, your Heavenly Mother, that you help your Fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ, in these instances, to recognize these ‘Priests’, in order to avoid their “Misguided” Influence, and Most, Most importantly, to Pray for them.
Most of the time, if a Priest is ‘Infected’ by this ‘Affliction’, sadly their own ‘Faith’ is ‘Incomplete’ from their original ‘Professed Faith’.
One example of this, is something that you My Faithful Children have only recently experienced, where certain ‘Priests’ around the world have been and are ‘Denying’ ‘Devotions’ to Me, your Heavenly Mother, because of their own ‘Incomplete Faith’ in Me, and their Clear ‘Lack’ of understanding of My ‘Totally Binding’ and ‘Inseparable Love’ with My Belovéd Son, Jesus.
Other examples, which I have already pointed out to you, My Dear Faithful Children, in My Message ‘Come to My Heart’, where together with many of My Children attending ‘Holy Mass’, little or no ‘Respect’ is being shown to My Belovéd Son, Jesus, both at the ‘Consecration’ and at the Delivery and Receiving of ‘The Most Sacred Eucharist’, and of His ‘Holy Presence’ in the ‘Tabernacle’.
However worse than even this, is when this ‘Evil Affliction’, then progresses to the total ‘Abomination’ of ‘Arrogance’, at which point, Satan has, what by now, has become almost ‘Ultimate Control’ over that ‘Priest’s’ Soul.
When this happens, it is at this point that these ‘Poor’ Belovéd ‘Priests’ of Mine, actually ‘Defy’ My Belovéd Son, Jesus directly, in ‘Totally’ Reinterpreting My Belovéd Son, Jesus’, teachings in the ‘Scriptures’, thereby completely ‘Misleading’ My Faithful Children on earth.
Sadly this ‘Sacrilege’ has been and is being committed, by these ‘Rogue Priests’, each and every day, throughout the world, where through their ‘Misleading and Misguided Sermons’, they Minimize, Trivialize and in some cases even ‘Glorify’ many Sins.
Many of these ‘Rogue Priests’, would lead you, My Faithful Children, to believe that the Road to Heaven is an ‘Easy’ one, when you already know, from My Message ‘Come To My Heart’, that this far from the case.
How many times have these ‘Rogue Priests’ emphasized the Modern World’s ‘Feel Good’ factor, as being ‘Good’, and even openly promote the ideal of ‘Instant Gratification’ as being ‘Good’.
Please believe Me, your Heavenly Mother, that this is very much far from the case
My Dear Faithful Children, beware, as this is one of the ‘Insidious’ ways that Satan has so successfully been able to infiltrate his ‘Evil’ way into the Hearts and Souls of many of My ‘Young’ Children, in the way of Adolescent and young Adults, but Tragically ‘Aided’ and ‘Abetted’ by some of these ‘Rogue Priests’.
My Belovéd Son, Jesus, once said, as can be found in the ‘Scriptures’, that, ‘It is easier for a Camel to pass through the Eye of a needle than for a Rich Man to enter the Kingdom Of God”.
Well my Dear Faithful Children, sadly, exactly the same applies to these ‘Rogue Priests’ that are ‘Plagued’ with this Terrible ‘Affliction’ and Sin of ‘Ego, Pride and Arrogance’.
It is so sad, when I witness, so many of My Belovéd Priests, that are ‘Inflicted’ by this ‘Abomination’ of a ‘Scourge’, which has so severely ‘Affected’ and ‘Distorted’ their ‘Professed Faith’, which in turn brings these ‘Priests’ to become as ‘Hypocritical’ as those ‘High Priests’ in the ‘Temples’, that My Belovéd Son, Jesus, had to continually deal with, during his Mission on earth, over 2000 years ago, and who ultimately ‘Presided’ over His ‘Trial’, leading to His ‘Crucifixion’
These ‘Rogue Priests’ of the 21st Century, My Dear Children on earth, are, with their ‘Evil Affliction’, are effectively ‘Presiding’ over and ‘Re-Trying’ My Belovéd Son, Jesus, over and over again, and effectively ‘Crucifying’ Him, over and over again.
But as if that wasn’t enough, these ‘Rogue Priests’ are also ‘Colluding’ with many of My Children on earth, whom they have successfully ‘Misled’, and in so doing, are effectively making up the 21st Century ‘Crowd’, for this 21st Century ‘Crucifixion’ of My Belovéd Son, Jesus, much like the ‘Crowd’ at My Belovéd Son’s ‘Crucifixion’ 2000 years ago.
Please be reminded, My Faithful Children of exactly what Suffering My Belovéd Son, Jesus, goes through as a result of ‘All’ Sin, no matter how Trivial, no matter if they be committed in ‘Thought’ or enacted in ‘Deed’.
By their ‘Actions’, these ‘Rogue Priests’ put themselves above ‘All’ human beings and above ‘All’ human respect, but what is so ‘Deeply’, ‘Deeply’ Offensive to My Belovéd Son, Jesus, is that they are putting themselves ‘Above’ My Belovéd Son, Jesus, and His and your Heavenly Father.
It is so sad, in fact Tragic, that these ‘Rogue Priests’ have either forgotten, or are totally ignoring the fact that, in My Belovéd Son, Jesus carrying out His Mission on Earth, and in spite of being The Son of God, He did so with the utmost of ‘Humility’, never ever placing himself ‘Above’ anyone.
In fact My Belovéd Son, Jesus, ‘Served’ His people as a ‘True Servant’, and not as someone who thought of himself as being on a ‘Higher Plane’, than those He was Preaching to.
It is this ‘Example’ that My Belovéd Son, Jesus, looks for, from My Belovéd ‘Priests’, which sadly is not evident in those ‘Rogue Priests’, so Tragically affected by the ‘Evil Affliction’ of ‘Ego, Pride and Arrogance’.
My Dear Faithful Children, it is therefore extremely important for the ‘Salvation’ of the Souls of these most ‘Unfortunate’ Priests, that when you are able to ‘Recognize’ them, that you My Faithful Children, show by your own ‘Example’, especially through your ‘Faith’ in Me, your Heavenly Mother, that by turning to Me, their Heavenly Mother, that they can be ‘Cleansed’ of that terrible ‘Scourge’.
Of course just like any of My Children, they too would need to undergo the three stages culminating in The ‘Resolution’, that I pointed out in My Message, ‘Satan’s Control Over Mankind’, but with one very important addition.
Because they hold the ‘Position’ of Priesthood, which is a very Sacred and Responsible position, being the ‘Ordained’ Representative of My Belovéd Son, Jesus, on Earth, they are therefore, responsible in ‘Leading’ their ‘Flock’, in other words, their Congregations.
Therefore, on ‘Recognizing’ their Weaknesses, these ‘Priests’ also have to make their ‘Recognition’ of their Weaknesses, ‘Openly’ to their ‘Flock’, in order that their ‘Flock’, in turn, can be assured in their own Hearts and Soul that these ‘Priests’, are indeed ‘Cured’ of this dreadful ‘Affliction’.
It is vitally important, therefore, My Faithful Children, that you continue to Pray for such ‘Priests’, and show forgiveness in your own Hearts towards them, as indeed My Belovéd Son, Jesus, will, to those ‘Infected Priests’, that display ‘True Contrition’, for their wrong doings and Sins, in the same way as He does in forgiving your own Sins and wrong doings.
But please be mindful, that whilst this Terrible and ‘Evil Affliction’, is sadly Prevalent in those in ‘Man-Made’ positions of Power and Authority, as I had pointed out earlier in this Message, this does not make the rest of you My Children ‘Immune’ from this Dreadful ‘Affliction’.
My Dear Children on earth, please remember, that even though you can deny or ‘Hide’ your Weaknesses from yourself or your fellow man, or in the case of ‘Rogue Priests’, from their ‘Flock’, no-one, absolutely no-one can ‘Hide’ them from My Belovéd Son, Jesus.
There is nowhere on the Earth that anyone can ‘Hide’ from, from My Belovéd Son, Jesus, or His Heavenly Father.
After all, My Belovéd Son, Jesus, and His Heavenly Father, know ‘Exactly’ what is the Hearts and Souls of every one of My Children on earth,
Therefore I, your Heavenly Mother call upon you ‘All’, My Children on earth, to ‘Look’ into your Hearts and Souls, regularly, and in the way that I had described to you in My Message ‘Satan’s Control Over Mankind’, in order that you can ‘Address’ any weaknesses that you ‘Identify’ as early as possible, thereby minimizing the opportunity of Satan ‘Gaining Control’ of your own Souls.”
With the conclusion of this Message, “Our Blesséd Mother” gave me Her now customary Blessing and left me with a great deal to Meditate upon I as continued on with my exercises.
I pray, O Holy Mother of God, that those who choose to Read or Hear Your Messages, will receive them with Your Blessings and that their Heart’s too, will be filled with Your Graces and Love.
