June 23, 2011 Jesus teaches that the Soul is like a Rose in bloom.....
"Today I am here to help you to see that every soul's spirituality can be compared to the rose. The rose in full bloom pours forth a beautiful fragrance for all to enjoy. The rose in full bloom, however, is the culmination of much effort, both from Heaven and from earth. The plant must be fed and fertilized. The soul must be fed with the good news of the gospel - mainly Holy Love - and then watered by God's grace. Many thorns may grow along with the rose. In the spiritual journey, these would be the temptations against living in Holy Love."
"The fragrance of the rose - the beauty of the soul - is best experienced at the center of the bud. So, in the soul, the depth of holiness is in the center of the heart which must be Holy Love. As the rose opens, the petals around it unfold and add to the richness of its beauty."
"In the soul, the gifts of the Holy Spirit unfold all around Holy Love and add to the richness and beauty of the personal holiness. The petal closest to the bud, which opens first, is the first sign that the rose will open and bloom to its fullest. In the soul, this first petal is Holy Humility."
"This is a picture which may help some to understand the journey of personal holiness."
