Message from St. Therese of Lisieux - (the 'Little Flower') given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Therese, the Little Flower, says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"Today, once again, I have come to address the topic of humility. There is no genuine holiness or virtue aside from Holy Love and Holy Humility. Humility is like a mirror which reflects all the other virtues. Humility is like a light that shines through every virtue. If personal holiness were compared to a flower, the bloom would be all the virtues, the stem would be Holy Humility, bringing life to the bloom. The roots would be Holy Love; for all virtue - if it is genuine - is rooted in Holy Love."

"You'll notice I continue to make reference to genuine virtue. This is because many are tricked into thinking they are holy and virtuous, while at the same time, they criticize and rash judge others. Humility and love let God be the Judge. Humility always considers others more holy than himself. God does not look at the outer vestiges of the soul, but always at the heart. That is why humility always takes the last place, and never presumes to be more than he is. This is a great test of true virtue."
