“Solomon’s Unfaithfulness” Lourdes Pinto, Cenacle 2/8/18 1 Kings 11:4-13 Solomon goes astray and worships strange gods “When Solomon was old, his wives had turned his heart to strange gods, and his heart was not entirely with the Lord.” (11:4) What happened? How could Solomon fall so horribly when he possessed the gift of wisdom and had received so many graces from the Lord? Solomon begins with his heart entirely given to the Lord. ·      Monday- “And when the priests came out of the holy place, a cloud filled the house of the LORD, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD. Then Solomon said, “The LORD has set the sun in the heavens, but has said that he would dwell in thick darkness. I have built thee an exalted house, a place for thee to dwell in forever.” (1 Kings 8:10-13)  ·      Tuesday- “Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven; and said, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to thy servants who walk before thee with all their heart;” (I Kings 8:22-23) ·      Wednesday- Queen Sheba visits Solomon and is amazed at his wisdom: “Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her.” (10:3) How could his wives turn his heart to strange gods? Why didn’t Solomon see the truth of the darkness in the hearts of his wives and bring them to the light of the true God? *The first message Cf. Luke 10:1-12 Diary of a MOC 1/11/18, Mission of MC and MOC My little one, you are preparing the way for My Second Coming. It is My hidden martyrs of love, crucified through Me, with Me and in Me, that will usher in the reign of My Kingdom on earth.  the Gospel says: “No purse” that means be Poor in spirit; “No sandals” that means -detached from the things of this world; a life of sacrifice, hardships, difficulties, uncomfortable, penance (I had the image of people walking up the mountain in Medjugorje barefoot) “no walking stick” -because I will sustain you, strengthen you, support you. I will lead you on this journey.  My Missionaries of the Cross must preach repentance again, as did John the Baptist. They must preach My love crucified, bringing souls to know intimately My love. They must be entirely detached from their egos, knowing themselves as nothing and miserable. They must be willing to speak the truth about the darkness within My priesthood. They must be willing to live rejected, cast out, and even stoned to death. (I conversed with Jesus, saying that I do not know how this will be. I see again the image of the red carpet-the women covered in the precious blood of Jesus. My Lord, how do the lay missionaries of the cross live this mission? ) They are priests within their families, and they live in the world. They will need great courage to be My light in the midst of the darkness. My daughter, tell my daughters to persevere suffering all with Me solely for love of Me. Solomon’s heart, through the process of many years, becomes “drowsy”: “But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life” (Luke 21:34) Message 2 – “disordered desires” “disordered attachments” *The second message Cf. Mathew 10:1-24 Diary of a MOC, 30/18 “Mission of the 12”  My little one, I have chosen you to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God on earth. The mission is not easy, for the ways of God are never the ways of the world. All who are chosen by God to fulfill His plan on earth are hated by some, rejected by others, ill-treated, persecuted, for I came upon the earth to set one against another, for the ways of God...
