Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jan 17, 2023, where he continues his series on private revelation with part 3, Discerning the Divine, how we can know that a private revelation is from God.
Notes
Discerning signs that a revelation is from God himself. St. George Preca
1 Fear and confusion at the beginning but turns to peace joy
2 sears elevated to God in
4 light and calm
5 humility
6 shame not telling it to more people
7 fear that it is imagination
8 recognizes his own misery
9 love generated toward god
10 desire for heaven
11 detached
12 motivate to do penance
13 strength in practicing virtues
Object of what they see, the vision.
1 posture of vision
2 what the vision says
3 holiness of the character in
4 words are not useless
Fr. Jordan Aumann 7 signs of divine origin that overlap many of hose of St. George Preca
1 Truth in what it says and inspires
2 Gravity, seriousness not frivolous, at least to the seer, e.g. Bernadette, use her own rosary
3 Enlightenment and certitude rather than confusion and darkness on seer and others
4 Docility of the seer, teachable spirits, accept cheerfully advice and instruction, not a know-it-all, God prefers the simple children
5 Discretion – no exaggeration, impetuosity, full of peace
6 Humility and self-effacement, the humility of heart
7 Peace is always associated with communication with God
some other good signs: confidence in God, flexibility of will, purity of intentions, patience in suffering, self-abnegation, simplicity liberty of spirit
All put together, give an indication it is from God.
