Message from St. Thomas Aquinas given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

St. Thomas Aquinas comes. He is walking down the aisle with great difficulty due to his weight. He says: "Praise be to Jesus. Daughter, tell Fr. Kenney that I appear in this bodily form so that you will recognize me when you compare my vision to photographs in the past. After all, ask him to recall that Moses and Elijah appeared in bodily form at the Transfiguration, but they are not body and soul in Heaven, as yet."

"I have come to speak to you today about temptation. Temptation is the test of virtue. Without the test--without temptation--the soul cannot practice virtue, and cannot be perfected in the virtue being tested. Therefore, temptation can bring good or evil according to the soul's response."

"Do not be surprised, then, when I tell you that the message of Holy Love brings out the best and the worst in people. It brings out the best when the soul recognizes his faults through immersion in the Flame of Holy Love, and tries to overcome his faults--that is, be perfected in virtue. The message brings out the worst in the soul when his faults are revealed to him, but he makes little or no effort to overcome them."

"So, it is the choice each soul makes in the face of temptation that determines the depth of his journey into the Chambers of the United Hearts. It is the depth of love in the heart that determines the response to each temptation."

"Let me explain: If you have great love of God and neighbor in your heart (Holy Love), you will want, at all cost, to avoid hurting God and neighbor. Therefore, supposing you are tempted to be impatient, you will, in the face of temptation, practice patience. See then, it is God's Permitting Will that allows temptation to come into each one's life, for He desires that you be strong in virtue."

"I must return to Heaven now, but you will please make this known."
