It is clearly a divine project to restore trust in the divine. The numerous paintings resulting from the description of Jesus, that Saint Faustina wrote down in her diary, are today venerated throughout the Catholic Church. But recently, in just the last seven years, the young visionary artist Akiane painted a photo-realistic image of Jesus she aptly entitled “Jesus.” The image is remarkable on a multitude of levels. It displays great kindness, and gentleness, but also profound strength and self confidence. Jesus is looking off into the distance with a look of respect, recognition, anticipation, expectation, and reverence. But it truly connotes that whoever Jesus himself is looking at possesses the same qualities he does in even greater measure. That while Jesus is looking up, it is not out of fear of something mightier, but rather more like recognizing the approach of a beloved mentor who is simultaneously your best friend, partner, and confidant. The irresistible impulse for anyone viewing this masterpiece is to not want to stare at Jesus as much as turn our own heads and try to look at what he is looking at. Is it indeed TRUST in the divine that is the inspiration behind this masterpiece?

Saint Faustina wrote that Jesus said to her, “In convents too, there are souls that fill my Heart with joy. They bear my features; therefore the Heavenly Father looks upon them with special pleasure. They will be a marvel to Angels and men. Their number is very small. They are a defense for the world before the justice of the Heavenly Father and a means of obtaining mercy for the world. The love and sacrifice of these souls sustain the world in existence.” Are these the words of Jesus or an Anunnaki psychic? Are convents sustaining the world? What can Creator tell us?

The fact we have learned that Saint Faustina heard both the words of Jesus, and those of interlopers, creates a difficult dilemma for anyone wanting to use her diary for inspiration. Perhaps the best advice for us is the same advice her confessor, Father Jozef Andrasz, gave to her early in her vocation, “If these inspirations are not in accord with the faith or the spirit of the Church, they must be rejected immediately as coming from the evil spirit.” Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the best means by which we can obtain divine assistance to know what is truly divine in origin, and what is not, as well as obtain the confidence and trust needed to do this consistently?

The website Edubirdie.com in an article called, The Peculiarities Of Envy Sin, had this to say about envy: “Dante’s Inferno depicts envy to be one of the most unforgivable sins that a person can commit. It is heavily depicted to be connected to pride, and this is evident based on Dante’s organization of Hell.” What is Creator’s perspective?

The Seven Deadly Sins of the Catholic Church are also known as mortal or cardinal sins. Britannica.com defines mortal sin as: “Mortal sin, also called cardinal sin, in Roman Catholic theology, the gravest of sins, representing a deliberate turning away from God and destroying charity (love) in the heart of the sinner. A mortal sin is defined as a grave action that is committed in full knowledge of its gravity and with the full consent of the sinner’s will. Such a sin cuts the sinner off from God’s sanctifying grace until it is repented, usually in confession with a priest. A person who dies unrepentant of the commission of mortal sin is believed to descend immediately into hell, where they suffer the separation from God that they chose in life.” What is Creator’s perspective?
