R. Are not our hearts burning within
us as Jesus tells us about Himself.
Jesus I want to know insight into
the mystery of Your love.
Are not our hearts burning within
us because God created us to have
union with Him, union –– intimate
union –– to be wrapped in the embrace
of love itself for all eternity –– the
embrace of the Trinity –– to know God
and the heavenly mysteries –– to know
the glory of our home in heaven in
the beatific vision –– to have union with
God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
To be possessed by God, but our
wounded human nature can want
what we want which is to be
equal to God, to be independent of God,
to want our will, raising ourselves
above God as the end. We can want
our pleasure to be here below ––
We were created to seek God and we
are not full here below –– our
hearts were created for Him and so
we yearn for this –– to be filled by Him ––
only this will truly satisfy us and
so we know we aren't complete ––
our souls are made to have the
fullness of life in heaven –– we
are in a state of seeking more and more
and what will satisfy us is fullness
with Him in heaven –– Mary is full
of grace, Mary has the fullness of
His life.
I seek You Lord and I can never be
satisfied here below. I am on a journey
and seeking to be more abundantly
filled with Your life. I seek You Lord
and I want the fullness of Your life,
but will not have it until I rest in
Thee forever in heaven. I seek You
Lord, to know love and insight into
the hidden mysteries and I am like
a parched desert here below, I know
my heart was made for this endless love
I cannot even know here below ––
and I am left wanting, searching,
seeking, hungry and thirsting for Thee ––
Come to me Lord and possess my soul ––
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
–God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
Oh the embrace of God! I touched
you God! (From the Mass Book December 17, 1995)
From the Mass Book
T
HE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVEN (excerpt)I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.
This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.
The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.
Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.
Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.
Song from Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.
He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.
Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.
Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.
He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.
end of December 17, 1995
IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HIS HEART
The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him. There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed.
I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most special way.
I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God, with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.
We do not understand the fire of His love. We do not understand what it is to be absorbed by love itself. He took me to the inner, deepest chamber of His Heart, and I felt the heat and knew the presence of love itself, and there was no fear, only a feeling of completeness, omnipotence, all-embracing, penetrating love - a power indescribable in words, a saturation of my being in the presence of God, and I was as I was created to be - living in Him!
This is how I will forever live my life, saturated with His divine life and love deep within this inner chamber of His burning Heart, living in Him as He possesses my being, and I operate with His power in me.
Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power, His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him - in the Heart of Jesus.
Let no man separate what God has joined together. I am wed in the deepest love with my beloved Spouse, wed to the Heart of Jesus. As I am, I am one in Him. I live and I breathe in Him. He, Who is love, He Who is our all, He Who is mighty and without limits, He Who is, He Who is God and as I live, He lives in me in this world.
I am wed to Him, and I shall not fear for He is God - one, complete, loving, God. Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. As I live, I live in Your most adorable Heart, the furnace of God's love!

R. The focus is God, the sights I have are
on Him. Knowing I live with this yearning
inside that will never be satisfied on
earth and not expecting to find this
completeness in Him here below.
We are in the state of becoming. God
wants us to seek Him, to want Him, to
live united in all we do to Him. To long
for the Eucharist, to long to be filled
with His grace.
Many men are trying to make this
earthly journey their end. The Father
wants us to seek Him, to long for God,
to want our heavenly embrace for
all eternity and to set our sights on
this.
My daughter studied to be a doctor.
I watched her study her whole life.
She was disciplined, she worked hard,
she did the internship, she worked
hard as a doctor, loving and helping
people –– her sights were to be a doctor
and she worked toward this goal and
she is a wonderful doctor today.
We were created for things much
bigger than any earthly satisfaction ––
our goal is a heavenly one –– to be
wrapped in the arms of the Trinity
forever, to have the fullness of His life,
to know God, to love with perfection,
to know unity –– to be satisfied,
no wanting.
We were created for this. Our
goal spiritually, is in this. Life
in the Spirit –– to have the Holy Spirit
breathe the breath of God's love ever more
in our hearts and souls. We are on
a journey to God and we will never
have completeness in Him here
below. Even in a great ecstasy
we are not complete. Our goal
is this heavenly embrace in
eternal life forever. We were made
to want this, we will never be
satisfied here below ––
This can get us into trouble
if we are seeking pleasures to
try to satisfy ourselves here
below. We were given tremendous
gifts here below, pleasures, loving
God and others in our hearts, but
we were made for heaven. Our
goal must be to have the fullness
of life forever in heaven.
I love to say the Hail Mary ––
We say
Hail Mary, full of grace ––
Mary is full of His life ––
Mary is the perfect handmaid of the
Lord. Mary was conceived without
sin. Mary is our model.
That is why God the Father
said in a message January 18, 1997,
in Blue Book 14, Mary is pure gift.
God the Father says:
"Mary is Mother of all children.
Mary is a gift from Me, but
you are willful and abuse the
gift I send you."
God the Father continues
"You do not make reparation to
her Immaculate Heart, you continue
to offend her. I will not tolerate
the deeds of evil men any longer."

R. God the Father is referring to how
we have not listened to Mary and
Jesus and now will we ignore Him.
Click to January 18, 1997
(one month after Mary's image
appeared in Clearwater, Florida)
R. The cry to me in this message is ––
you don't want God giving any
messages, correcting what we
are doing wrong.
I have heard in this message now
for 17 years this same direction of
God –– you disobeyed Mary, you
disobeyed Jesus, now you will
disobey Me, the Father.
We have not arrived. Man is
a sinful race. Mary doesn't
have her rightful place in the
hearts of men. She is pure gift,
because of jealousy and envy and pride
some do not even want Mary in
a place of being better than them ––
and with this goes the whole thing
of acting with taintedness, not
understanding the 3 stages of the
Church and just not being where
God wants us in our spiritual life
here below ––
There is a message of Fr. Carter's
on the 3 stages of the Church ––
The 3 Stages of the Church click
Putting Mary in the right place in
our right reason is right reason ––
she is our Spiritual Mother, the
Spouse of the Holy Spirit –– She is
full of grace.
We must expect to be corrected and
directed. The mentality of the world
"we have arrived" and "we are
perfect and sinless" keeps us
from embracing the truth.
We are sinners, we need to make
reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
We are here on a journey to learn about
God. Spiritual pride is
devastating to our souls. How can
we, with right reasoning, not see
we are learning our whole life
about God until we die. We are
seeking to be filled more abundantly
with His life. We are to be living
as the little children of God the Father,
with Mary as our Spiritual Mother
and the Holy Spirit molding us more and more
in the image of Jesus in the
spiritual womb of our Mother,
Mary, her Immaculate Heart.
Our hearts are tainted –– we
have been given the great gift
of baptism of sharing in His life,
but we are sojourners, we are
on a journey here below. We
are meek and tender in heart,
more and more like the Heart of Jesus.
We recognize we are unloving
so many times because we are
here to grow to be loving like
Jesus ––
We have a wounded human nature.
We have an elevated capacity to
know and love more and more like
God if we have been baptized and
so we are seeking to grow
to know and love more and more like
God as we partake in God's
knowing and loving activity from
baptism.
Are not our hearts burning
within us as we set our goal
on Him –– to know Him most
intimately and growing in greater
perfection until the day we die.
This message January 18, 1997
from God the Father is a gift ––
Fr. Carter respected it, thanked God
for it. Fr. Carter told me to put it
in the Apostles Manual.
Fr. Carter said Jesus wanted
the Apostles Manual and under
obedience I did what he asked.
Is our pride so great we do not
see the gift of knowing how
we must grow to go to heaven.
God is offended by jealous men
who listen to satan, who hate
Mary and Jesus, and wants to block
devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate
Heart, Mary asked for at Fatima.
And there was World War II when
we didn't listen. She said this
at Fatima July 13, 1917.
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
July 13, 1917
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)
11. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to
Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN
Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.3-4.
12. Ibid., pp.4-5.
13. Ibid., p.5.
From Fatima Peace Plan — Tan Books p.4-5.
July 13, 1917
THE CHILDREN SEE HELL
As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant's peace or freedom from pain.
end of excerpt
R. Listen to these messages ––
God is telling us what we
must do ––
I am persecuted because
of men's pride ––
Jesus: God the Father in Blue Book 14 has
told the earth of His Plan.
When I took over the Fatima
Mission October 13, 1996 and
Mary's image appeared at
Clearwater December 17, 1996 ––
You ignored the importance
of these directions and
messages given from heaven ––
Like the Devotion Mary asked
for at Fatima –– you have
ignored Me –– even after
World War II and you are
suffering so much in
the world.
The Father will not change His
Plan. Mary is the Queen of Peace.
Devotion to My Heart and Mary's Heart
is paramount to the Heavenly Father.
Reparation must be made to
Our Two Hearts for the offenses
against Our Two Hearts.
Priests need to promote this devotion
to Our Two Hearts. Bishops need
to consecrate their dioceses
to Our Two Hearts, the Pope
consecrate the world to Our
Two Hearts, all Churches and
homes consecrated to Our
Two Hearts.
The Father is giving you a
blessing in these corrective
messages in Blue Book 14. You ignored
"Our Lady of Clearwater"
You ignored Me ––
You ignored the Father ––
You are suffering. So many souls
today, I died for are being
lost. I cry blood for how
can We reach you.
I have given you My Prayers
to spread all over the world and
to begin Prayer Chapters with
Devotion to My Heart and Mary's
Heart and prayers needed for
the priests, the Church and
the world.
Your ways are not My ways
and who can reach you.
I watched the trains from
the holocaust that took people
to the gas chambers ––
You are running amok ––
I am giving you the Mighty
Medicine to fight satan and
you fight Me ––
The trains keep going and people
were gassed to death ––
People were sent to showers
naked ––
murder, murder, murder
of innocent lives ––
Babies torn from their mother's
womb, heads crushed
arms torn off ––
Stop the Blood of the Unborn Babies ––
Listen to Me and quit fighting
My Message for peace
and love in the world ––
I want these prayer chapters all
over the world.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.
I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

I Call You to Holiness
May 4, 1994 4:30a.m.
Dear ones, I am calling you to love your brothers. I have loved you. Would you, dear ones, lay down your lives for your brothers? How are you loving this day? Are you following Christ in your actions? I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life. You must constantly put the world aside and look to the Master for all your directions. I call you, My little ones, to holiness. I call you to pure hearts, hearts that are full of love and empty of hate and anger. I call you to guard your hearts and watch that they stay forever holy. You, My precious bride, I want your soul white.
Do you criticize your dear brothers? I gave the last beat of My Heart and the last drop of My blood for the soul you are displeased with. I would die for them this day. Will you not love them for Me? They are so precious to Me!
Quit sizing up your brothers. You do such unloving things in your mind. You do not even know how unloving are your thoughts. You judge your brothers by their exteriors, by their education, by their money. You do not see the beautiful creation of God the Father. He created your brothers just perfectly and He loves His creation. Who are you to criticize His creation? Love your brothers when they are hurting. It is in your loving the hurting ones that they will see the reflection of Christ in you.
Do not hold on to foolish things. One moment and your days on this earth have ended. All that remains is how you loved. Did you love God? Did you love your neighbor? Love is not selfish. It gives of itself. Its whole purpose is to draw the other closer to Jesus.
Study the crucifix. It is such a comfort! I loved you so. I died for you. I would die for you alone this very day, little ones! Look at Me dying on the cross! The way to Me is to follow Me. Be Christ-like in your ways. You must study Me to know My ways. Do not give in to yourselves. My way is love. Will you be the reflection of the love of God within you? My way is the way of the cross. They persecuted Me, they hurt Me, they tore My flesh and spit on Me. They did this to Me for My love given to all! This world is not your end. You follow My ways and you move as you should toward your goal.
I am Jesus, I am the Son of God. I love you so ardently. I died and shed My blood, My beautiful blood, for love of you. I await you this day, My little ones. I loved you so I remain with you in the Eucharist. I await, I long for you to come and share in our love. I am the tenderest of Hearts. No man can be close to you as I. I love you so. I want to dwell and live within you. I want to fill you with all My love and radiate My love to your beloved brothers. I want to shine from your souls.
Oh, little ones, take Me seriously. I am truly here, begging for you to live in My love.
You are the light that will shine in this dark world. You will light up the darkest night with My love.
The best gift you can give to this world is to busy yourself about your love affair with Me. I love you, My little ones. I love you and I want to share this love with you.
Love your brothers. Do not let Satan talk in your heads and make them wrong and you right. Love them as I have loved you. Do not look at your brothers and size them up. See them with the eyes of God, the beautiful creations of the Father.
Will you love My beloved ones for Me this day, or will you say "no" to My call? Love your brothers in darkness. They need your love. I am calling you to love them for Me this very day. They may scoff at you and persecute you, but you will plant a seed that I Myself will water and give sunlight to. Plant seeds of love. This is the most important seed you will plant, a seed of love. Watch it grow as I provide it with water and nourishment. I will shine on your brothers through you if you stay in My love. Be the light that shines on this dark world. They are crying out for the love of God. They are suffering. They need your love.
Put yourselves aside. Die to yourselves. Live only for the love of God. If the world goes one way, you stay focused on My love. Do not follow the world. Follow the risen Christ!
I love you so, little ones. I bring you new life. I fill your hearts with My love. Pray to the Holy Spirit for His gifts. Pray the Our Father. Let My mother mother you as she mothered Me. She loved you so. She suffered so for love of you. She appears to bring you back to her beloved Son. Will you answer her call? She is calling you to put God first in your life.

The Holy Spirit and Mary
The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: "Christian life is the reproduction of Jesus in souls…
"Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.
"In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him…
"That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.
"Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.
"Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.
"These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the co-operation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life.
"Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant." 18

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. - 2000 - Issue 3
The Indwelling of the Trinity and the Life of Grace
The spiritual life, the life of holiness, begins at Baptism. Archbishop Luis Martinez says:
"When we are born we are endowed by God with all we need for our human life, a complete organism, and a soul with the full range of faculties. Of course they are not all developed from birth, but we have them then as the source of everything we are going to need in life. And thus it is also in the spiritual order. When someone is baptized, he receives in all its fullness that supernatural world which the Christian carries within his soul. He receives grace, which is a participation of the nature of God; the theological virtues, which put him in immediate contact with the divine; the moral virtues, which serve to regulate and order all his life; and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the divine, mysterious receivers for picking up the Spirit’s inspirations and movements."2
Another author states: "The Three Divine Persons inhabit the sanctuary of our soul, taking their delight in enriching it with supernatural gifts and in communicating to us a Godlike life, similar to theirs, called the life of grace.
"All life, however, implies a threefold element: a vital principle that is, so to speak, the source of life itself; faculties which give the power to elicit vital acts; and lastly, the acts themselves which are but its development and which minister to its growth. In the supernatural order, God living within us produces the same elements. He first communicates to us habitual grace (the life of sanctifying grace) which plays the part of a vital supernatural principle. This principle deifies, as it were, the very substance of the soul and makes it capable, though in a remote way, of enjoying the Beatific Vision and of performing the acts that lead to it.
"Out of this grace spring the infused virtues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit which perfect our faculties and endow us with the immediate power of performing Godlike, supernatural, meritorious acts.
"In order to stir these faculties into action, He give us actual graces which enlighten our mind, strengthen our will, and aid us both to act supernaturally and to increase the measure of habitual grace that has been granted to us.
"Although this life of grace is entirely distinct from our natural life it is not merely superimposed on the latter. It penetrates it through and through, transforms it and makes it divine. It assimilates whatever is good in our nature, our education and our habits. It perfects and supernaturalizes all these various elements, directing them toward the last end, that is toward the possession of God through the Beatific Vision and its resultant life." 3
Our being in the state of sanctifying of grace and the special indwelling of the Persons of the Trinity within us always exist together. We cannot have the one without the other. Our life of grace, which is a sharing in Trinitarian life, allows us to know and love Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in a most intimate fashion. Through grace we are in the image of the Trinity, and we enjoy special relationships with the Divine Persons.
Again, we listen to the words of Archbishop Martinez as he speaks about our relationships with the Divine Persons:
"Love, we have said, is the foundation of devotion to the Holy Spirit, as it is also the foundation of Christian perfection. But love as a reflection of God, as His own image, is something that encloses within its simplicity a boundless wealth and a variety of forms. Who can fathom the depths of love?
"Human love in all its manifestations is admirably in harmony with the love of charity; it is confident in filial love, trusting in friendship, sweet and fruitful in the love of husband and wife, disinterested and tender in the love of a mother. Our love of God must include all these forms of human love; every fiber of our heart must vibrate when the harmonious and full canticle of love bursts forth from it. But since God is one in essence and triune in Persons, our love for Him takes on a particular aspect accordingly as it is directed to each one of the divine Persons.
"Our love for the Father is tender and confident like that of children; eager to glorify Him as His only-begotten Son taught us to do by word and example. Love for the Father is the intense desire to have His will fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven. Our love for the Son, who willed to become flesh for us, is characterized by the tendency to union with Him and transformation into Him; by imitation of His example, participation in His life, and the sharing of His sufferings and His Cross. The Eucharist, mystery of love, of sorrow, and of union, reveals the characteristics of this love.
"Love for the Holy Spirit also has its special character, which we should study in order completely to understand devotion to Him. We have explained how the Holy Spirit loves us, how He moves us like a divine breath that draws us to the bosom of God, like a sacred fire that transforms us into fire, like a divine artist who forms Jesus in us. Surely, then, our love for the Holy Spirit should be marked by loving docility, by full surrender, and by a constant fidelity that permits us to be moved, directed, and transformed by His sanctifying action.
"Our love for the Father tends to glorify Him; our love for the Son, to transform ourselves into Him; our love for the Holy Spirit, to let ourselves be possessed and moved by Him."4
