Dec 16 – Penance, Penance, Penance |
|
Ave Maria! “During the apparitions at Lourdes, the Immaculate proclaims, with the language of our Order: Penance, penance, penance, She refreshes the memory of the “Order of Penance”, She wants, in it and by means of it, to halt souls in the race toward pleasure, to enter into their hearts, to take possession, to set them on the way to true happiness, towards God, along the way of self denial, to prepare the throne of Divine Love in them, for the Divine Heart, to teach them to love this Heart, to inflame them with love; She herself wants to love this Heart in them and by means of them, to be them and to make them become Her??This is the second page of the history of our Order and it is beginning right now.” (SK #1168)
