It’s been about a year since we have had Diana Vallett on the mic, and we are so grateful she is back. It would be easy to say that the theme of this episode is shifting, as it is a word you will hear all throughout. Diana herself speaks of the “shifts” she has experienced in the past year: shifting from mourning to healing, from a steady online presence to taking a back seat, from holding on too...

Ignoring, rejecting, or showing indifference to the Blessed Virgin Mary is the 10th way the devil oppresses us. Satan fears Mary. He knew she had power when Christ was dying for our sins on the Cross and He said to all Christians represented in John the Beloved Disciple standing at the foot of the Cross "Behold your Mother." If you take her as your mother she will bind you to Our Father...

Why be obedient? The act of obedience builds up the power to obey within us. It's a safeguard in the time of temptation. Being obedient to even traffic laws has spiritual benefits. If you break a law you will upset the good habit of being obedient so that when the temptation comes-and it always comes-you will have less strength to follow the Holy Spirit in the face of a more difficult temptat...

Heaven is seeing God. The eyes are the window to the soul, and there are images that lead us into impurity and defile our temples causing harm to our spiritual trust in the Lord. In taking in all the flesh we lose sight of the spiritual good of the soul. Stay focused on the daily spiritual grind. Plow forward! Keep reading the Word of God. 📖Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure of heart for they...

"There is a relationship between our eyes and our soul...Our eyes are too busy feasting on getting all these things that, perhaps, we have worked hard for...but our eyes don't move from them and so you don't exercise your spiritual sight, your trust, your confidence in the Lord..."  📖   "Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God."
