Message from St. Teresa of Avila given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Teresa of Avila says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"I have come to help you understand that hope never abides alone in the heart. It has with it the companions of Holy Love, for all virtues are borne of Holy Love - faith, then perseverance, fortitude, forbearance and patience. Of course, all the virtues - besides being borne of Holy Love - are grounded in Holy Humility which is Truth itself."

"Holy Humility calls the soul to hope for God's plans to be fulfilled. In truth, then, the soul does not hope for some self-serving agenda inspired by evil. In truth, the soul surrenders his own desires and hopes for the opportunity to be God's instrument."

"Satan tries to convolute every virtue with false virtues. These are 'virtues' practiced for others to see - 'virtues' used towards self-aggrandizement. True virtues lie hidden in the heart. The truly virtuous soul is self-effacing. His hope is to remain little and hidden."

"Sincere hope does not abide in the heart that does not trust. The soul cannot hope if he does not also trust, and he cannot trust outside of faith and love. So you see, the perfect conjoining of faith, hope and love produce trust."
