Holiness is a goal that you must strive for each day until the end of your earthly life, it is not optional, it is imperative, in order to obtain your eternal reward.

 

Strive to put God first in your life, loving Me as I have Commanded, this is not just a suggestion but the First Commandment, you shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.

 

In order to prepare you now, to walk in Heaven with Me, you must decide today that you will live for Me completely resolved to live your life for Me.

 

It may seem an impossibility, but what would be impossible, would be to strive alone without My help, for when you were created, it was Our idea that you be reinstated in holiness, and it will be My initiative to work in you to that end.

 

You were made to be holy, to be like Me in all your being, you are never to be discouraged in your efforts, many graces await you throughout your day, I want you to attain success and to be joyful.

 

Because of My great love for you, I will not give up trying to influence your decisions concerning holiness and leading you to do good works, which encourages others in their walk toward holiness.

 

You were chosen in Me by the Father, having been made in Our Image and Likeness, to become a citizen of Heaven, sin has disfigured you and blinded your right thinking, the world has made evil look good and what is good to seem to be evil.

 

The more that sin is eradicated from your life, the more you will be able to follow and resemble Me.

 

Give permission allowing Me to change whatever is needed in your life, in order to accomplish this transformation sooner than later.

 

When you receive Me in the Holy Eucharist, your soul is purified, sanctified, consoled and preserved.

 

Each Communion brings you more in line, more readily disposed to receive specific graces, that have been arranged for your advancement in the virtue of holiness that you are sincerely seeking.

 

When you study the lives of the Saints that have gone before you, you will discover that they each found different ways to the same end which is holiness, declared necessary in order to see God.

 

The Saints of Heaven, and Angels too, are all helping the Church Militant on earth to achieve their goal of holiness, walk humbly with your God, Who through the Holy Spirit instructs and directs your path.
