“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. You are asking in your heart about the statement in the Magnificat,

…'He will scatter the proud in the conceit of their heart.' Here is the meaning: The proud soul is like a ship without sails upon a stormy sea. It is tossed to and fro by every whim of free will. This ship has no compass; that is, its direction is not chosen wisely – just as the proud soul chooses his own way instead of the Way of the Divine Will.”

“Such a soul thinks too much of his own opinion, too much of his reputation, too much of his wants and comforts. The soul who truly loves Me loves the Will of My Father. He chooses littleness, regards everyone as better than himself – more holy, more worthy. His soul is like a ship on a calm sea with a strong sail and a worthy compass. He will not become lost or confused, for he allows himself to be led by the Divine Will. He knows how to sail the ship of his soul according to the Laws of God.”
