Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you                Pray without ceasing                For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you                And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him                Through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God                Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven                Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven                It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God

Swim Against the Current!

Love One Another 12/2009→ True Love Waits - Pure Hearts



I am twenty-four years old. We joined the Movement of Pure Hearts on my boyfriend’s name day and we have now been going out for four years. The day we became sharers in this lofty idea was a truly beautiful and exceptional one. We asked a priest friend of ours to witness our act of entrustment to Christ. We said the Prayer of Pure Hearts before Blessed Caroline’s relics in the chapel named after her. After that, we received Holy Communion, and the priest prayed over us.

We joined MPH because we were convinced it was only through Jesus Christ that we could come to enjoy joy, happiness, and true love. Daily prayer, a decade of the rosary, the chaplet of divine mercy, and reading the Scriptures give us the strength to overcome our failings and weaknesses. Prayer is like a light that illuminates the mind. It shows us how to conduct our daily lives, be it in the family, at work, or in love.

After joining MPH, I became conscious of a deep longing for God, a growing desire to know Him better. I also felt a need to receive Jesus in the Eucharist more often.

You cannot imagine the joy and order that the Lord has since brought into our lives! Now we find it easier to forgive, to keep a check on our tongues, to master our weaknesses, and to put every unpleasantness behind us; and this, in turn, gives us great inner peace. Of course we have to be demanding of ourselves. But we both see that the path we are now taking is the only right one.

I am delighted that on our wedding day we will be able to offer each other the most beautiful of wedding gifts — our own pure love. Though we have been together for so long, we have not — thank God! — betrayed our pledge.

The “freedom” that today’s world offers us (the freedom that leads into sexual enslavement) is now only too tritely familiar. It brings on nothing but a sense of loss and despair. These days we have to swim against the current. We have to demand a lot from ourselves, and this is where MPH comes in. What better challenge and reason for praising Jesus Christ!
