Wonderful lesson!!
Glad you liked it!
Many Blessings Brother Charbel. Much like Mother Teresa approach to her daily contact with her "neighbors" on the street of Calcutta. Jesus, thirsts for our love, which she so constantly gave to those she ministered to on the streets of the world.
In all due respect, Br. Charbel, although I say the aspiration, "Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls", multiple times a day, I have a problem with the alleged promise attached to it. Supposedly, a soul is saved every time it's recited. So each person saying it could literally save several thousand souls every day. That would make it more powerful than the Mass, which is impossible. And why say the Rosary, when this prayer is so much easier and more fruitful. Furthermore, why go out and evangelize, when you can save souls saying this prayer from the comfort of your own home. Maybe you can enlighten me. God bless.
Here is what Br. Charbel when I forwarded your question:
David, thank you for writing-first, the instructions given to Ven. Consolata are private revelation and are meant to aid us in living out our faith more fully; they are not obligatory for belief. On the other hand, public revelation, such as Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the like, are binding. Private revelation is always subordinate to public revelation.
With that being said, Jesus Appeals to the World has received both the Nihil Obstat and the Imprimatur, the invocation known as the ceaseless act of love has an indulgence attached, and Consolata herself is a Venerable, which means an official canonization process has been opened. That, I believe, should give some peace to one’s conscience.
Lastly, I would place the promises that often accompany private revelation, whether to St. Mary Margaret Alacoque regarding the Sacred Heart or Saint Faustina and the Divine Mercy, in the greater context of the Church’s mystical tradition. St. John of the Cross wrote, “The smallest act of pure love is more profitable to the Church than all other good works together” (Spiritual Canticle, 29:2). Our earthly calculus cannot comprehend the immense love of Christ’s Sacred Heart, let us put all our trust in it!
Simple and profound. Thank you Brother Charbel.
Thanks for listening
