GRM 3.9

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

It is not necessary to be virgins to be chaste. And chaste nuptial beds are guarded by angels and from them descend good children who make the virtue of their parents the rule of their lives.

GRM 6.7

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

« It is the eye that looks at God lovingly, whether it cries or laughs, and that for God’s sake fondles and forgives and bears everything, and by the love of God is rendered unassailable to the assaults of Evil, that so often makes use of the eye to penetrate the heart. It is the pure, restful, blessing eye that the pure, the saints, the lovers of God possess.

I said: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light. But if your eye is cloudy, your whole body will be all darkness”. Saints possessed this eye which is the light for the soul and salvation for the flesh, because like Mary throughout their lives they looked only at God.

I will explain to you, My little voice, the meaning of My word.»

Detail

Jesus speaks of Mary, the saints and the blessed.

Gospel of Luke 11, 34-35

He is chaste who not only chastises his flesh but also his affections and his thoughts.

GRM 36.8

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

(...) True love is always chaste, even if it is not perfect in chastity as the love of the two virgin spouses. Chastity united with charity yields a suite of other virtues and therefore two people who love each other chastely become perfect.

GRM 47.4

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

I insist on the value of purity. Chastity is always the source of clear ideas. Virginity refines and then preserves intellectual and emotional sensitiveness, elevating it to such a perfection that only a virgin can experience.
