A Private Illumination of Conscience
Illumination to Littlest of Servants
July 22nd, 2011
At the request of Our Lady of All Nations I will share the ILLUMINATION OF CONSCIENCE I had.
This has also been referred to as the "MINI-JUDGMENT".
At eighteen I became a fallen away Catholic, that is I no longer practiced the faith.
It was twenty years later at the age of thirty eight that I had an experience that changed my whole life.
FIRST I had a dream about JESUS and in the dream HE was as real as though He was right in the room with me.
When I awoke from the dream I said to myself that I had seen JESUS but I then realized that JESUS would not come to someone like me so I paid no attention to it.
The NEXT night as I laid in bed I experienced something like a current traveling through my body.
After this occurred I had a realization how much JESUS LOVED ME and I now also began to realize how much I offended HIM with my sins.
I got out of bed and fell to my knees saying over and over again that I WAS SORRY, SO SORRY FOR MY SINS.
I continued to experience just how much my sins offended JESUS and then the deep, deep, deep pain in my HEART AND SOUL STARTED.
This pain is so deep and so sorrowful I cannot begin to tell you how painful it is.
The experience then stopped and I by then was crying tears of sorrow.
The experience stopped but the PAIN and SORROW remained in my HEART AND SOUL.
The next morning I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and I went downstairs and it was then that JESUS spoke to me for the first time (although I did not fully understand and doubted HE would be speaking to me) and told me to get a BIBLE and open it up.
I opened it up to Luke, Chapter 15 to the PARABLE OF THE LOST SON.
When I read it I cried and cried asking for HIS FORGIVENESS.
The next day I begin to EXPERIENCE what my sins had done to JESUS.
I saw a vision of me committing a serious sin and I then saw JESUS being scourged by a Roman soldier and as I looked at the Roman soldier I saw his face and it was my face.
I cannot describe how devastating this was and the PAIN AND SORROW in my heart increased.
This continued for several days and with each passing day the PAIN AND SORROW increased in my HEART AND SOUL.
I finally told JESUS that I needed to relieve the PAIN AND SORROW IN MY HEART because I didn't think I could take much more.
I then heard HIM say, CONFESSION.
I had not been to CONFESSION in twenty years so I had to look up where and when CONFESSIONS were being held at the local CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Fortunately there were two priests hearing CONFESSIONS when I went so the priest that heard my CONFESSION was able to spend the needed time with me.
I HAD NOT BEEN TO CONFESSION IN TWENTY YEARS and I cried and cried and when the PRIEST GAVE ME ABSOLUTION IT FELT LIKE A HUGE WEIGHT HAD BEEN LIFTED FROM ME.
THE HAPPINESS I FELT I CANNOT DESCRIBE AS THE SORROW AND PAIN IN MY HEART WERE GONE AS I FELT TOTALLY HEALED AND FORGIVEN.
THIS STARTED ME ON MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY THAT CONTINUES TODAY.
Many years later I asked Our Lady if I had experienced the complete ILLUMINATION.
OUR LADY ANSWERED THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED FIVE PERCENT.
When I heard this I started to cry and I asked JESUS to HAVE MERCY.
I knew then that SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT SURVIVE the ILLUMINATION OF CONSCIENCE THAT IS COMING SO VERY, VERY SOON.
THE PAIN AND THE SORROW FOR THE HEART AND SOUL WILL BE TOO MUCH AND MANY WILL DIE FROM IT.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE NOT BEEN TO CONFESSION IN A LONG WHILE ( I go at least once a month) I URGE, I PLEA WITH YOU TO GO IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT DELAY!
I REMIND YOU THAT I EXPERIENCED ONLY FIVE PER CENT OF THE ILLUMINATION AND THE PAIN AND SORROW WAS SO GREAT I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD LIVE THROUGH IT.
IF YOU COULD ONLY KNOW THE PAIN AND SORROW YOU WILL ENDURE YOU WOULD RUSH INTO THE CONFESSIONAL.
GO TO CONFESSION!
GO TO CONFESSION!
GO TO CONFESSION!
PLEASE!!!
