Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my heavenly Father.
“Therefore, anyone who hears these words of mine, and acts according to them, is like a wise man, who built his house on rock. The rain poured down, the rivers flooded, and the wind blew and struck that house. But it did not collapse, because it was built on rock.

It is not in the number of prayers, novenas, and the length of them that saves you. Do not be secure in the presumption that you are saved because of these and other things you do in the mistaken belief that, because of them, you will not perish. Rather, this is what is needed always at all times to be aware that you are beloved of God, and because of this, you live only to please the One who has poured out His life for you. The whole goal of your life here on earth is to live it in a manner that will fulfill the entire purpose of your being, which is to live in our Presence, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit eternally. Seek in all things to discern My will and then do it. Do not allow the distractions of the world or your own concupiscence to take your eyes away from the prize: eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Remain grafted in Me and in Holy Mother Church and in Me. Be guided by her in all things. Always remember your mission: to be light and salt in the world. Do not be the reason that someone is scandalized and so loses their faith in Me. Pray constantly, and by prayer, I mean have a living relationship with Me. Remain in Me, abide in Me, receive your life from Me, be firmly rooted and grounded in Me, and nothing that the world, flesh, or the devil does will harm or destroy you. Nothing.
