💌 551. When Offering Up the Little Flowers Woven with Self-Renunciation While Following the Lord’s Will

One of my hairdressers frequently took money from the salon's cash box. Although I did not witness it firsthand, the Lord revealed her wrongdoing to me. Despite my offering “the Prayers of Life” for her to recognize her behavior, she continued with her bad habit. One day, when I was about to say to her to correct her bad habit, the Lord suddenly poked me at the particular part of my body He had designated, “poke, poke, poke,” so I responded with "Amen" and chose not to say anything.

I offered up the Prayers of Life, asking the Lord to transform her soul as much as the amount of money she had taken and waited for the Lord’s due time. Later, when she took money from the salon's cash box again, I felt it was time to take action. This time, the Lord did not poke me in the designated part, so I considered addressing her directly with words of love. Instead, I chose to gather the community and speak indirectly while offering the Prayers of Life for her. I also treated her with even more love and kindness in all matters.

Then she must have felt something, since then, she never touched the safe again. The Lord accepted my offering and the Prayers of Life, and in that way, He corrected the hairdresser’s habit of stealing. Perhaps the Lord tested me by poking me in the particular part of my body to see how much I would subordinate my will to His and follow it the first time I tried to address the issue.

While I was deeply involved in volunteering with the Charismatic Renewal Movement, just as I was about to attend a prayer meeting, a brother requested counseling. Due to my duty as a volunteer, I hesitated and eventually decided to postpone the counseling. At that moment, the Lord poked at the particular part of my body “poke, poke, poke.” So, I offered up my desire to attend the prayer meeting as little flowers woven with self-renunciation and met with the brother for counseling.

However, not long after, that brother came to thank me and shared that his family had been restored with love and I gave glory to the Lord. In this way, whenever there were issues or matters that I was about to do which did not conform to the Lord’s will, He would surely poke me in the particular part to guide me onto the right path.

And sometimes, not only the things I wanted to do but even those things I thought were right from a human perspective, I was led to stop and offer it up as little flowers woven with self-renunciation. However, as long as it was the Lord’s Will, I have no regrets at whatsoever. Since the Lord led me personally, I had no need to experience any human inner conflict or worry about anything I did.

This must have been a preparation for the later time when the Blessed Mother manifested Herself to me by weeping Tears. To use this unworthy sinner as Her instrument for Her work, I believe Jesus and the Blessed Mother strengthen me with the assurance that everything I think and decide is aligned with the Lord’s will through these experiences.

“O, my most gracious Lord, my Beloved! You love this unworthy and lowly handmaid so much that You guide me towards the right path!

This weak sinner, who has nothing to offer You but my shamefulness, what else shall I desire but You? Only You are the Master of my life, my joy and my hope. I will strive to live a life of resurrection with unending gratitude to You, Who have always guided me with love alone. May You be glorified, praised and honored through this sinner, and may You receive adoration and thanks.”

“My beloved little soul, called to be an apostle of My Sacred Heart! My daughter who offers up all suffering graciously! You, the Crystal of humility and love, who always confess your unworthiness and rush to My arms, will become a witness to My greatness and My infinite love.”

*Since May 16, 1991, when the Eucharistic Miracle occurred, the Lord has not poked the particular part of the little soul. This indicates that from that time onwards, her words and actions have not deviated from the Will of Jesus through the Five Spiritualities. However, even if the little soul’s thoughts are correct, she always considers others’ care.

This stems from her experience of abandoning her own will to follow the Lord’s Will while trying to correct the hairdresser’s habit of stealing. In this way, the little soul nurtures the souls entrusted to her with a fine touch.
