4. The Mind, the Gateway of the Heart

The Mind, the Gateway of the Heart


4rd Epistle

My beloved child,
from the moment we make the decision to live with the simplicity of a child and to allow everything with absolute trust in the hands of God our Father, a crowd of angels undertakes to protect us. Joy and serenity rules over our heart and our soul enjoys God's peace.
Satan, of course, is very annoyed by this and tries with a thousand and one ways to upset this joy that a Christian soul has. The ways he uses are mainly acts of sin upon man's five senses. With these he first attempts to contaminate the body and then the soul in order to distance it from its God. But Satan, even here, faces a great problem. Because all these actions are visible and therefore perceived a pious man repents easier and quicker. So with the fire of his repentance he burns the evil nets which Satan has set and doesn't allow him to easily reign over his soul.

Spiritual infancy with repentance


3rd Epistle

My beloved child,
You keep telling me how much you would like to follow the path of spiritual infancy in order to reach God’s embrace, but you are afraid that you may not be able to manage it because you commit many mistakes and sins.
Do you know anyone who doesn’t make any mistakes or sin? I truly say to you, there is no man living on earth even for one day that doesn’t commit a mistake, because man’s mind is continuously being tempted by evil and sin. Although our Lord is well aware of this He encourages us to: "Be holy because I am holy" (1 Peter 1: 16)
So, could He encourage us to do something if He knew that this would not be feasible? No. He encourages us to do something that is feasible and a great victory over Satan.

The wonderful path of spiritual infancy



2nd Epistle

My dear child,
I am pleased with your decision to become a little child in God’s arms and to fight with all the strength of your soul to enter deep into our well-beloved God the Father’s heart.
There are many joys that a child can give to his heavenly Father, but none of them is greater and stronger than the one you now choose. A little child is always something special to his parents, especially when he is still an infant. A mother’s love for her infant has no limits. Her baby means everything to her. He’s her life, that’s why she can’t compare him to anything else on this earth. Motherly love is the closest thing to God’s love, that’s why it is considered the perfect image of motherly love that God has for mankind. 

1. The most important decision of your life

The most important decision of your life



1st Epistle

My beloved child,
Please forgive me for taking so long to respond to the desire of your soul, to help you to become a great catechist in the vineyard of our Lord.
I was always fascinated by your anxiety to love our beloved King Jesus with all the power of your soul and to preach about Him to your brothers in Africa.
My joy became greater when you told me that you wish to serve Him not only as a catechist but also as a priest at the holy altar, if of course our Lord wishes this too. 
All these holy desires aren’t only yours but our beloved Lord, Himself, wants it too. That’s why I, obeying not only your desire but also the will of our common Love, our well-beloved king and God of our heart Jesus, I will start with His blessing to respond to what you asked me for with a lot of childish love and trust.
I will try to speak to you as a father who has a blessed, humble and obedient son, who with respect and childish simplicity will listen and apply what I will tell him with love, in order to become a little earthly angel of our beloved God.
