                R. Love is the most perfect virtue because the
                object of this virtue is loving God. The object is
                friendship with God. Loving God with a kind and
                generous heart to just love God because loving God
                is what the soul seeks – loving God just to love Him,
                because God is all Good – God is love and we love Him –
                that is the purpose.

                    But to love God like this it takes God giving us
                supernatural love to love Him. Only God can give
                us what we need to love this way. This love
                brings man happiness. We receive the virtues of
                faith, hope and love infused in our soul in baptism.
                We must want God to increase in us ever more this
                gift – God gives the gift, but we must want to
                receive it more and more. God in His generosity
                gives us the virtue of love – it is a gift from
                God.

                It is a special grace God gives us if we love
                Him so much. As we cooperate with this grace –
                we give our life more and more in intimacy
                with God.

                We long to spend time with God – we love the
                Eucharistic presence of God – we just love
                God!

                We give more and more of ourselves to this friendship
                with God. We seek friendship with God.
 

                R. We can love God so much we never want to offend
                Him by any of our actions. We do not want to
                sin because sin offends God and we love Him
                so much.

                We turn from ways of the past that were not the
                ways God wanted us to be. We are responsible
                for what God wants us to be responsible for.
                We do not offend God through our irresponsibility to Him
                and others.

                We can grow less in love with God when we
                begin to put ourselves and other things
                before God.

                Sin offends God –

                We are to love God above everything else!

                But in loving God more it helps us to love
                    others more.
 

                Jesus: Open My Blue Book anywhere, I
                    give you special graces to love ever
                    deeper, but you must want to love –
                    Many people are stuck in anger –
                    deep-seated anger and the more they
                    nurse their anger – the more angry they
                    get! Unresolved anger in a person
                    is like a man ready to strike out
                    and hurt anyone. It is like hungry
                    dogs coming in the door with viciousness.
                    Anger is like a bomb in the heart and
                    it comes out against people who do not deserve it.

                    Anger can be pushed back from years in childhood
                    and the person refuses to admit the anger
                    inside that deprives them of living with anyone
                    in peace and love. Anger is like a smoldering
                    carpet on fire and it can be dumped in all
                    kinds of ways on innocent others. The ways
                    of hiding aggression in passive-aggressive
                    ways becomes more and more complicated as
                    the angry person decides they deserve to act
                    the way they do on innocent others because
                    of their unresolved anger – Anger can grow
                    to punishment and tricks of deception on
                    others in the advanced stages. Anger is the object
                    of these men's lives in many cases where anger
                    becomes their goal above right reasoning and
                    purpose intended by God. Anger is an emotion
                    that can rule a man and he can be so
                    enslaved to his anger his actions are directed
                    to serve his anger – not eternal happiness,
                    not love, not unity, not living as I call a
                    man to live –

                    Anger from abuse in childhood, sexual
                abuse can be seen in a person holding out
                and holding out and holding out. The man
                who is free is busy doing the Father's will
                and helping to build the Kingdom of God, working
                with other men in relationships and living as I have
                commanded them to love.

                    The man with unresolved anger lives most
                of the time with the deception of his anger
                and blaming every one else for why he is
                angry and should hold out, punish, not
                live his responsibility to love and do what the
                Father calls him to do –

                The man of anger can blame everyone why
                    he does not do what he is supposed to,
                    to work with others in problem solving,
                    in union and friendship and trust –

                Many angry people are so self-focused – they want
                    no one in their space and want control
                    and can be very envious, possessive,
                    jealous, prideful all which give
                    them reasons to blame things on
                    innocent others, because they refuse
                    to see reality now as it is –
                    It can be a constant manipulation and
                    wrong reasoning to serve their addictions
                    in anger and excitement, chaos –
                    etc.

                Men perform actions and they can get into
                    enslaved habits, but a lot of self-talk
                    goes on before a man talks many times –

                Listen to your self - talk –

                Is it talk from right - reasoning –

                Is it talk to close yourself in?

                Is it talk that others are to blame for why
                    you have unresolved anger and you
                    decide they are guilty – some punish
                    others – holding out what is needed –
                    in control, in sulking, in very
                    bad nasty attitudes –

                They are like hungry dogs coming through
                    an open door from the basement.

                Anger like this is like a destructive bomb –
                    a smoldering carpet that burns away
                    the good hearts that come in love –

                Anger grows - the more one opposes God's will
                    to love – there is a constant conflict
                    and fight within the man that grows
                    to greater darkness and anger and
                    destroys – destroys relationships –
                    that leaves a man nursing his wounds
                    and blaming others who is forced
                    to deal with him.

                Unresolved anger is a man's most unwelcome
                    guest – It drives others away by
                    their attitudes. In the advanced stages
                    the angry man can force his anger
                    on others by his manipulative ways – holding
                    out etc. and can bring punishment down
                    on those he uses for not taking all
                    he wants to dish out!!

                This is far from love and goodness and far
                    from eternal happiness. It is dark
                    destructive and anger unresolved and
                    growing can tear down the whole place.

                Life is to be lived in unity and harmony.
                    Some children watched parents live in
                    chaos and anger – not working in
                    skills that resolved conflict –
                    then the angry child grows up and expects
                    others to put up with their unpredictable, controlling,
                    holding out ways. Then it goes to how they
                    force their ways because it is normal to
                    them and expect others to take it or suffer
                    the consequences they also force on them.
                    A person must open up from closed, debilitating
                    anger and learn to trust and love and
                    work with others.

                Selfish anger played out in families,
                    communities – is a negative emotion
                    the angry person decides others are
                    to put up with because they think so,
                    they can force their anger through manipulation,
                    holding out and punishment. The person sees
                    themselves what they want, what they
                    need before everything else – they put
                    their anger, their way on the stage
                    and want others to put up with this –
                    then they want others to take their ways
                    of acting.

                Some angry people provoke and provoke
                    others in ways they can get control
                    and excitement and drama from
                    innocent others trying to do what
                    is good.

                Did you hear of the cold war?

                I am love and the person who lives enslaved
                    to anger wants those negative emotions
                    to be acted out and all around to
                    serve his servile needs –

                It is not putting God first – it is not being
                    a servant and loving others and
                    calling God to help bring love –

                A person enslaved to anger is a time-bomb
                    and when they settle into using the
                    family or community for the object
                    of their anger after many years of
                    confinement – they act as an abuser who
                    believes the people deserve their ways –
                    they project their anger – their vision
                    on innocent others and in pride
                    see themselves so good and their victims
                    deserving of their unkind and ugly vision
                    of them –

                I have come to bring love and peace to this
                    earth and I died and rose to bring
                    men the gifts I give –

                The man who loves Me – really loves Me is
                    a man bringing joy to My Heart –
                    is a man for others –
                    is a man who welcomes men in
                        love and opens himself to
                        spread the Kingdom of God –

                You say, Jesus what a contrast
                    to the angry man who becomes
                    self-enclosed – sulking in
                    a negative emotion, like
                    marinating in a time bomb –
                    and those the angry man
                    tries to control leaves a
                    path of wounded hearts –
                    usually where I was trying
                    to bring love and peace and
                    the building of My Kingdom –

                    You are not to use hateful anger, that
                is resolved in a man for sinful ways.

                Anger doesn't justify the sinful
                    ways of a man punishing his
                    family, his community because
                    of his own darkness and anger.

                Sin is sin –
                Sin is being unloving –

                Anger that is reaped in such darkness
                    is a sin.

                Anger that remains in your hearts,
                    when a person projects their
                    ugly, negative, destructive
                    thoughts on others because
                    of their own darkness
                    and hatred inside is wrong.

                Anger directed at another person
                    so you can hurt that person
                    is wrong – It is destructive,
                    it tears down – the love and
                    good feelings
                    that you should have and
                    destroys trust and harms
                    relationships.

                Relationships are built on love
                    and trust, kindness, goodness
                    and respect –

                Anger that is held onto, projected
                    at innocent others poisons
                    the heart –

                Anger that is nursed against another
                    as a bad habit to why a
                    person should keep their
                    space and act justified
                    for their own anger is
                    wrong.

                How is the attitude of the person
                    who has decided innocent
                    others deserve the treatment
                    they give them and deserve
                    their anger, held out
                    sulking because the
                    angry person is anxious
                    and nervous and wants
                    to relive old patterned
                    behaviors from their childhood.

                    A person who is controlling for controlling sake
                dismantles the existing structure. They see
                themselves as the leader and tear down the
                authority over them. They can put
                others under them in a position
                where they also should disregard
                the authority over them and then
                force them to secrecy about their
                actions.

                    I am God and a place without
                structure - will not stand.

                    Satan knows this – satan uses
                the negative emotions of anger
                and hatred to tear down the
                desire of My Father to renew the
                Church and the world and the orders
                and family in love –

                    Anger hurts a person's health –
                You can take all kinds of vitamins
                and yet an angry person puts
                pressure not only on themselves,
                but lives in constant conflict
                in himself and with others that
                are around him.

                    Love is a positive emotion –
                love in the heart brings joy
                to the man as he lives in
                the light serving God.

                    You are called to love God
                with your whole heart, your
                whole soul and your whole
                being –

                    Anger brings depression and tension
                and hurt to all involved. Selfish anger
                is an energy that destroys, that
                hurts all who are effected by
                an angry man around them.
                Abusers believe that the victim
                of their abuse deserves their
                abuse and they want and many
                times force the victim in some
                way to put up with their abuse.
                Children suffering abuse from
                someone can become numb
                from this and it can have
                life-long problems if the
                secrets of the abuse are not
                uncovered. No one has the right
                to abuse a child in a home –
                children of abuse suffer and
                the secrets need to be brought
                out - so the person can heal from
                what was done to them. Telling a
                trustworthy counselor, spiritual
                director can help let the cat out of
                the bag and then the relief from
                years of secrets can begin the
                healing process for the person –
                Secrets are like worms that are
                active and need to be brought out.

                    Anger keeps a person from
                being open in their heart to
                love God and love others. Pride
                of the individual keeps them stuck.
                Pride can keep a person avoiding
                the reality of how they acted,
                how they hate someone, how
                they believe others deserve their
                ill will and punishment.

                Love is being more and more as
                God intends you to be – Living
                in unity – working in relationships,
                solving problems –

                Selfish anger against others is a veil
                    of darkness – this darkness leads
                    to deception when one forces their
                    cold, isolated, unloving –
                    hateful ways on innocent others –
                    This drives a man away from Me –

                    So as you are in your heart –
                So are you in your relationship
                with Me – not loving your brothers
                brings down dark hearts!
                I am the Light of the world.
                Hating your brothers makes your
                hearts hard and dark and you
                are opposing God's law of love –
                So there is deep conflict in
                the heart that does this.
                You were created to grow in
                love in My image and likeness.

                Walking in anger stops a man
                    from even seeing the needs
                    of others. The man can become
                    more and more self-enclosed,
                    isolated, more and more angry –
                    in darkness.

                    In baptism you are commissioned
                to go out and spread the Good News –

                    A man of anger can be very,
                very passive trying to deny
                his anger and provoke others
                in all sorts of ways, to hurt
                others and to get combat
                going, attention for themselves
                and drama –

                    The family of a man or woman of
                passive-aggressive anger can fall apart
                because their tactics are so hidden –
                Walking around with tension and
                sulking – trying to get to others so
                they have nothing but their darkness
                and tension around them.

                Jesus: You are called to honor and
                    love God and others

                Seeking forgiveness

                Forgiving others

                VALIDATING the wrong
                    they did – and asking
                    for forgiveness

                People who hold out and hold out but
                    do not hear Me say –
                    "Don't let the sun go
                        down on your anger.

                Jesus: Love Builds

                Love is Unity
                Love is in the Heart
                Love is light

                Having life
                Having Vitality
                Being alive

                Your vocation is a joy –
                    God called you to

Matthew 21: 33-43, 45-46

‘Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard; he fenced it round, dug a winepress in it and built a tower; then he leased it to tenants and went abroad. When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce. But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another and stoned a third. Next he sent some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them thinking, "They will respect my son." But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance." So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’ They answered, ‘He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the produce to him at the proper time.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Have you never read in the scriptures:

   The stone which the builders rejected
   has become the cornerstone;
   this is the Lord’s doing
   and we marvel at it? 

‘I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.’ 
   When they heard his parables, the chief priests and the scribes realised he was speaking about them, but though they would have liked to arrest him they were afraid of the crowds, who looked on him as a prophet.

                Jesus: Being in one mind and one heart –

                Loving in dynamic ways to
                    talk about the building
                    of My Kingdom –

                Correction – Direction –
                Learning how to get along
                    takes working with others
                    to work out problems

                Being obedient –

                Being responsible and
                    accountable –

                Your life is to center on the
                    goal of eternal happiness –

                Being alive IN ME –

                A person mad and ready to
                    fight can close down the hearts of
                    others and if it is a passive-aggressive
                    habit it is normal to them
                    to provoke others and watch
                        others fall under their
                        bad actions.
                    They can attack and attack
                        passively to get the other
                        to lose control
                    Forcing their actions by withholding
                        what is needed for the person
                        being victimized.

                Destructive Behavior

                    Competition – ready to fight for dominance
                                    over nothing – the weather,
                                    a comment etc. –
                                    combatal behavior

                    Not being able to ever admit you
                        are wrong

                    Lack of trust

                    Lack of responsibility or
                                accountability

                    Refusal of correction or
                                    direction

                    Denial of authority over them –

                    Parading denial of authority before
                        others

                    Invalidating correction, behavior,
                        direction, authority, rules

                    Disregarding the gifts of
                        love and teaching given

                    Ignoring tension and
                        being divided for
                        days, weeks, months

                I call you to love –
                You have one life to live –

                A person once said – "Well I
                    have one body, I must take
                    care of it" –

                What about a person who tears
                    down the house with anger in
                    front of Me and then denies
                    their sins –

                Song: I Am a God of Justice

                Jesus: You must open your heart to
                    the love and will of God
 

                Jesus: You have one life to live –

                You will never get back this
                    day again –

                When it is gone it is gone forever –

                Seek forgiveness for your wrong doing –

                Admit the offenses you used
                    against others –

                Learn – know you are here
                    to learn to work with others –
                    learn to love –

                Don't let the sun go down on
                    your anger
                    People with deep seated
                        anger can come from
                        abuse that they suffered
                        and do not recognize
                        or hide – then punish others

                Be ready to say you are sorry
                    for your bad mood in trying
                    to provoke or manipulate
                    another to anger.

                My Heart is soft and tender
                    and meek –
                    not combatal –

                Peace I leave with you –

                Don't come to Me with passive-
                    aggressive ways you
                    provoked your brother
                    and act arrogantly before
                    Me denying your sin –

                The man of holiness repents
                    and begs for forgiveness –

                    Love builds
                    Love forgives
                    Love asks for forgiveness –
                    Love communicates
                    Love is Open
                    Love is truthful
                    Love doesn't harbor
                        resentment, bitterness,
                        anger

                I want you to be a leader
                    of love –

                Are you a leader of love?

                Jesus: Are you concerned with others
                    or just about yourself?

                Love as I have commanded you
                    to Love –

                I am the Head of the Body –

                Grow in the strength of being
                    more and more likened to Me –

                I am Love

                Talk in love to one another –

                Spend time in being one –

                Let others know you are
                    trustworthy –

                Bring security to others –

                    Be positive

                    Be about My work –
                        it's not all about you!

                I give you the sun every day and
                    I give you the night to sleep.

                I give you security!
                    I am always there for you.

                How can anything grow on
                    selfishness, lies, lack of responsibility,
                    unaccountability,
                    undiscipline –
                    lack of conversation –
                    giving of oneself

                Change in behavior is necessary –

                Problems that are problems don't
                    go away, by holding out
                    after a warning – you
                    may have an explosion –
                    Take the warning and
                        do something –

                Don't put off and put off and put off
                    and then try to force something
                    after you were warned.

                Pray for fortitude to do the difficult
                    I want you to do –

                Pray for fortitude to not do a fast
                    job that is wrong!

                Enjoy time together and take
                    the joy in your heart –
                    as you do the next days
                    work with fervor and love!

                Live in the moment –

                Enjoy My work and loving and
                    being there for those
                    I send to you –

                Be welcoming and build
                    up what I have asked
                    you to do –

                Share your good times –

                Share My work for you –

                Work out problems for
                    a winning solution –
                    not in competition and
                    pride and hurtful ways –

                Consecrate your hearts seriously
                    to My Heart and Mary's Heart –
                    just don't say the words –
                    Do it with all your
                        heart –

                Be trustworthy and
                Trust those I send to you to Trust –
                Work together in love –
                Be positive –

                Invite new people in
                    love –

                Listen to them
                Make them welcome

                Don't look for someone to
                    make you happy –
                    give to others in love –

                Quit living an empty-hearted
                    life!

                Don't have your plan – like
                    expectations in your
                    mind that nobody better
                    mess with!

                Your friends I send you
                    are gifts – gifts
                    I give –

                Live Life as I want you
                    to live –

                I am Joy –

                I am the Source of All life

                Life is in Me

                I am Love

                Don't take the dark road –
                    take the road of light –

                Rely on Me –

                I am God –

                I am All Powerful

                Pray to live virtuously
