"The Spiritual Upheaval"

Once The Holy Spirit enters into The Soul, those things that, at one time gave joy, no longer Satisfy, and The Change is so Profound that The Heart, Turning to God, finds Its Pleasure, no longer in seeking out Transitory Delights, but rather in what used to grieve It.

Thus, The Soul gravitates Toward those Things that were deemed difficult or Impossible to bear, such as Humiliation, the renunciation of "Things" for their own sake, even Prayer and Meditation, which was once considered "Burdensome," is sought out, and even Preferred to the "Noise" of the world and Worldly.

This "Movement" of The Soul, Inspired by God Himself, is The Most Precious of all Gifts of The Spirit, for not Only does it prepare the Soul for the Greatest of Graces, but enables the Mind to See, Clearly Created Reality, including "Time" Itself, in Proper Perspective.

This "Gift" of The Presence of The Holy Spirit within the Soul, must be Guarded Fastidiously, for to disregard it, would be to Enslave The Heart with those things, that not only cannot Save, but have the capacity to Eternally Destroy all the Divinely inspired Good within, and rather than Securing one's Salvation, the Soul ends up Embracing that which will Degrade its Dignity, by reducing it to the image and Likeness of the Dead things that it will eventually crave.

The War that will undoubtedly be waged against this Gift by the World and the Enemy of our Soul, the Devil, must be fought with every tool that God, Our Most Loving and Affectionate Father Has Given us Through His Son.

Beginning with The Sacraments and utilizing every Sacramental at our Disposal, I can, not only Purge my Soul of its attatchments to those things that tie me down, but, along with The Saints, make great strides in The Way of Perfection.

God Bless You
